Week's Social News
Colonel rinil Mis. It. ,M. Holes tiro re
ceiving congratulations from their
frlcndn regarding some oil paintings
they have recently ncatilicd mul which
ntc so wonderful, both frnni uniurtlstjo
noil a technical standpoint as to tlp
nerve more than passing mention. Tyo
nre portraits, the third 1h ii landscape
vhlch will be of exceptional Interest to
residents or IIiIh region as It Ih ii faith
ful picture of Nay Aug Valid.
This Is the tlrst thno that any at tint
ol great reputation has p,alnteit our
most plctiiresiiuc hit of scenery. The
view 'Is. looking toward the falls, from
n point nearly under the bridge. It
s.huwn the foaming: cascade and the
deep pool, darkening' beneath. Heyond
Is the cliff with the autumnal foliage
reddening toward the summit. The
breadth of treatment, the sentiment
mid the richness of coloring appeal at
once to the beholder. The artist Is Mr.
JJhyard V. Tyler, of New York, and
lie has certainly caught the spirit of
our Falls with Its wild beauty. It
wilt be remembered that Jlr. Tyler
painted a portrait of Colonel Holes
Which Is living In the armory and
which represents him as he was when
colonel of the Thirteenth regiment.
Jlr. Tyler has another view of Nay
Alig Falls which Is on exhibition at
Prendergnst's. It Is taken from the
brow of the waterfall and shows the
picturesque old hemlock which is so
familiar to us nil. Colonel Holes cou
plers It rather superior to the paint
ing which ho had previously ordered.
It Is for sale and no doubt It will soon
be purchased by some picture-loving
Scranton citizen.
rThc poi traits of Colonel and Mrs.
Holes, whlrh have just been Fent home,
are .the utmost success from every
point of view. Colonel Boles is seated
In a characteristic attitude with the
genial, yet dignified expression on his
face which more than ever appeals to
bis friends with Its resemblance to
Senator Depexv. The artist has caught
the likeness marvelously and in look
ing ut the excellent portrait one al
most forgets to examine the artistic
and technical points of the canvas.
The portrait of Mrs. Holes Is strik
ingly effective. Surely Mr. Tyler
should have been a court painter. At
first sight the lovely gray hair, the
pose of the right arm bring to mind
some fine old portrait of the Louis
Qulnze period a fair marquise with
powdered locks, but the likeness Is so
unmistakable that the eyes seem to
smile with i the same brightness which
the friends of the Lady of the Portrait
know so well, The atmosphere is deli
cately handled, and gives an effect of
'epth and distance which brings the
ilgure out like a. bas-relief. The sub
ject is in a real room not posted
ngainst a blank wall or a curtain. The
texture work is superb. The rich
renaissance lace gown has a fall of
lace about the decollete corsage and
draping the arms to the elbow. A
cluster of pink roses, studied from the
conservatories of Mrs. Boies, give the
keynote of color and are receiving the
ttst touches at thc-hands of the artist
who is now in the city.
'Mr. Tyler's method IS all his own and
yet suffers nothing in comparison with
the portrait painters of the day. He
does not have that wet-palnt-fresh-ness
which characterizes the portraits
of Sargent, neither does he handle the
backgrounds in any resemblance to
Chase, or Chartran. Still less is there
any mannerisms such as arc noted in
the tapestry effects of Alexander. Al
most there Is a, hint of Velasquez-like
coloring, yet the technique Is so per
fect as to be almost flawless.
It may be interesting to the friends
of Colonel and Mrs. Boies to know
that Jlr. Tyler is at work on Presi
dent Roosevelt's portrait, the second
which he has done. A fine portrait of
Mrs. llackley, so well known in this
city, is at his studio on -Twenty-third
street. New York, and will soon be
placed In the school at Tarrytown, for
which It has been ordered.
- Mrs. Harriott J. Jones, of Clinton
jilare, possesses a treasure in the way
qf a celebrated bust of Shakespeare, an
Inaccurate mention of which has been
made In some of the local papers. Mrs.
Jones, in speaking of the matter the
other day, said:
"The true account of the bust is tliat the late

a
nm POINT OF VIEW
(W?MfHO(fMfMW?WM?M?)s
IT xvusn't my Intention to say any
thing more on the subject of small
pox. As I remarked before, It Is
not a particularly engaging topic,
Tlieio arc so many that are pleasant
or; but after nil It Is certainly very
popular and is employed to the ex
clusion of dress, strikes, servants, tho
weather and almost everything else.
Jf you go to a curd party there will bo
more women comparing notes, regard
ing thu progression of their vaccina
tion than about tho louo hands they
havo made, Many of them will be us
cross as tho proverbial bear with the
soro head for reuson of certain doleful
bumps they are continually receiving
fiuiu xvell meaning but awkward
fi lends. After uxvhlle If tho smallnox
nets "plentiful" xvo shall grow moro
composed and will not begin to bo as
excited as wo are now, oven If It should
happen to come next door,
AVo are now in the stage resembling
that of the marriageable girls either
"taken" or-"not token," The ones xvho
look selftsatlslled and superior are in
tho "taken" category; the others are
xxorrlcd,
Doctors are very useful, nnd nice peo
ple, hut some, of them would rather be
drawn and quartered than to admit
that they can't spot smallpox at tlrst
sight. Some of them wouldn't for the
w orld' confess (lint they would tike lo
huvo another physician In to consult
with them nhoitl a singular case. It's
rather unforliinnti for tho pallrtiltt
sometimes, nnd disastrous to the pub
lic, but nothing l done nhotlt It. t
suppose lawyers tire the same way
with regard to (heir own special license
to be omniscient! hut tho lawyers run
not go broadcast through tho laud,
sowing smallnox,
1'Vo often wondered what kind of n
convulsion of nature nnd society there
otlld bo If a woman doctor should
once happen to have it smallpox case
which she, In the Innocence of her
heart, should dlagnoio 11s measles or
whooping-cough. Wouldn't there be
a row? I suppose xvo women, If wo
Rhould once got a case of smallpox
when we xvere doctors, xvould want to
toll about It so much that xvo phould
tiulto unconsciously establish 1111 ef
fective quarantine. I know If I xvero
a woman doctor nnd should become'
suspicious that I had n smallpox pa
tient I should he so proud of my ncttto
ness In having discovered It that I
should Immediately proceed to sound
tho tocsin and xvarn all tho boards of
henlth In the stnte. But men doctors
are different.
I hax'o been gathering opinions,
medical and otherwise, concerning the
disease. My collection Is voluminous
and Interesting. It must surely be of
value to the community. Concisely It
Is embodied in the folloxvlng rules and
axioms, warranted to be authoritative:
1. Bo vaccinated at once, If not soon
er, 2. Don't be vaccinated at all, or, If
at all, xvalt until the smallpox comes
next door,
3. Be vaccinated on the arm; It Is
safer.
4. Be vaccinated on the leg: It takes
better and there Is not as much dan
ger. 5. Be sure to xvear a shield,
G. Do not wear a shield.
7. If It does not take, you are Im
mune. S. If It does not take you must has
ten to be x-acclnated over even to seven
times. Otherxvlse you are in Imminent
peril of catching the smallpox.
S. Small pox Invariably appears three
days aft"r exposure.
J. Small pox seldom Is evident until
fully txvo xveeks have expired.
10. It is I he easiest tiling In the world
to diagnose small pox; certain Symp
lons are nlwnys present.
11. It Is almost imposlble for the first
fexv days to distinguish small pox from
chicken pox or the German measles.
Now there you have an assortment of
opinions from which to choose. Pick
out the ones you like the best.
The only poslble adiyintnge in hav
ing the disease, would be tho opportun
ity of possessing an entire new x-ard-robe
if you live through it. But then
there xvould also be the drawback In
the fact tnat you xvould probably be
non persona grata at the homes of all
your friends for some years after re
covery. So what xvould be the good of
new clothes?
One result of the vaccination fad Is
the sudden unpopularityof affectionate
conduct among friends. Some people
never can be near you at a card party
or anywhere else xvithout familiarly
laying a hand on your arm. Tho num
ber of rebuffs which these Individuals
iecelx-e now-a-days should be dis
couraging to an objectionable habit to
which baldly one of us can plead "not
guilty."
They xxere talking about snobs the
other day and It set me to thinking
un unusual process. 1 don't recall an
adequate definition of the term. How
xvlll this do? A snob is a person xvho
affects to be very fastidious about the
record and ancestry of the friends
whom he chooses In order that his
fi lends may not be very fastidious
about his. Nearly alxvays his bluff
fails but he seldom finds it out.
It Is odd though how very certain a
snob Is to havo Reminiscence camp on
his trail as hoon as evidences of his
snobbery begin to peep out. People
xvho luix'e only thought of liini kindly
for years, If they have thought of him
at all, xvlll suddenly unlock the ceme
tery of memory where they have burled
dead gossip and they xvill dig up the
most unpleasant things which once
xvere appurtenances of that snob. Aw
fully unsavory work, too, but they
never seem to mind.
There are always so many remains.
They will go down so very far too,
perhaps actually lo the bones of his
groat grandfather's reputation and
they xvlll prove that tills .gentleman
ought tu have been hung if ho xvusn't.
Then they will take his grandfathers
and grandmothers an seriatim. One of
them, posibly ran away vi ith his neigh
bor's xvlfe It xvlll be recalled that she
xvas a very pretty woman xvblle his
own wasn't and another confided to u
friend that she had often to help her
lord and master up the stairs on lodge
nights. Perhaps another was a mere
groceryman or only a pedlar, like John
Jacob Astor. Dear me, there Is no
guessing xvhat dark stains may not
bo .discovered on the scutcheon of a
snob xvhen people once find out his lit
tle game.
After they get through with his
grandparents, they xvlll begin on aunts
and uncles following with his father
and mother, often xvlth pathetic re
sults; but It must bo done you know.
Then they reach the victim, himself.
By that time thcro Is but very little
left of him, still enough lo be Inter
esting to the student of vivisection.
They recall hoxv ho stole apples xvhen
a small boy and how ho behaved per
fectly disgracefully nt a party xvhen ho
was about sixteen, and hoxv Susan El
len Jinks refused him and hoxv ho used
lo work, In u store before ho made his
money and xvho bis wife's relatives
were nnd "really, my dear, her grand
father strp-niotlier used to live over
my grandmother's stable." Oh, If tho
poor little snob only know it, his
friends tiro having a beautiful time in
their excavations and all tho while It
would never havo occurred to them to
go Into so much research had ho not
lashly remarked one day; "Really,
you know, 1 douM enjoy going to tho
club nny more, 0110 Is sure to meet
somebody whoso father used to be in
trade, or who married a xvlfo out of
our set, Saucey Bess.

"Excepting Its handful of magnifi

upon America, "the people oxve moro

The story of the life-work of this
giant among men has been often told
and Is familiar to most readers. The
likeness abox'e is probably the best
portrait of him yet printed.
It xvns the world-fumed discovery
by Prof. Phelps of an Infallible cure

Prof. Phelps xvas born In Connecti
cut and graduated in medicine at Yale.
His unusual talent soon brought
him reputation and prominence among
Ills professional brethern. First he
was elected to the professorship of
anatomy and surgery In the Vermont
University. Next he was appointed
lecturer on materia medica and medi
cal botany in Dartmouth College.
The next year he xvas chosen pro
fessor of the chair then vacated by
Prof. Robby, and occupied the chair,
the most important one in the coun
try, at the time when he first formu
lated his most remarknble prescrip
tion. In view of the overwhelming testi
mony to tlie value of Puine's celeiy
compound that has recently apeared
from men and women of national
reputation, the picture of Prof.
Phelps is particularly interesting.
Paine's celery compound makes
people xvell. It is tho one true spe
cific recognized and prescribed today
by eminent prnctioncrs for diseases
arising fiom a debilitated nervous
system. Prof. Phelps gave to his
profession a positive cure for sleep

not solidified in early life. Keen if they aie,

and kidney troubles. For all such
complaints Paine's celery compound
has succeeded again and again whore
ex-erything else has failed.
No remedy xvas ever so highly
recommended, because none ox'cr ac

Today Paine's celery, compound
stands xvithout competition for feed

the strength of the body. It cures
radically and permanently. The
nervous prostration and general de

women sutl'er so long that It finally

all this suffering and despondency
can be very soon removed by proper
ly feeding the nerves, and replacing
the unhealthy blood by a fresher,
more highly vitalized fluid. A'
healthy increase in appetite and a
corresponding gain in weight and
good spirits follow the use of Paino's
celery compound.

It Is therefore not astonishing that ecll in our
enlightened age, that perhaps a majority of tho
Intelligent citizens of these United States aro
not thotougl.ly familiar with the use of ibe
cipher, nor can they be made to fully understaml
the value of the cipher in arithmetic, in spite of
all the efforts of the common school teacher. It
is therefore) also not to lie wondered at that tl o
averago civilised citizen docs not take kindly to a
change of sjstem of either measure or weight;
from, for instance, the "duodecimal to tho deci
mal sjstem," and tint is perhaps the reason why
in this country both systems ore used in con.
junction with cae-li other. We use' here tho deci
