FOR NEW BOWLING ALLEY proprietor Williams of the American House Considering a Proposal to Build One. It Is likely thai Carbondale will have (mother bowling alley, one of the latest iind most approved stylo. A proposition to install one has been made to Pro prietor Williams, of the American house, iind ho Is considering It. A surprising ljUmber of queries as to a bowling alley have been made to Mr. "Williams. Scarcely a day passes that one or more drummers who are ut the hotel over night do not ask If they can bowl a game or two and express sur prise when informed that the hotel lacks one. It was this that led .Mr. Williams to entertain a proposal for the erection of one. representatives of the firm, which leads In the manufacture of bowling alleys, -were in the city this week wlth.lnduoements for Mr. Wil liams to place one In his hotel. Mr. Williams leans to the proposition and It is probable that he will act on It. This however, cannot be said with au thority, for he has not made no posi tive statement. The erection of this alley, now that there already is one here, and being so publicly and desirably located, would give a decided impetus to the sportot bowling ami In tlino make it relatively as popular as in Scranton. There is no question as to the Interest that could be worked up among the enthusiasts and It .would be only a short lime one could safely venture to say until Carbondale could send play ers to Scranton that Would hold their own with the cracks of that town, car , bondale has a great reputation for superiority in athletics and sports, and it is a sure bet that her sturdy lads would not have to go away back and nit down for any bowlers, even though they might come from Scranlon or even Ilonesdale, where live the mighty .(?) in all things. The enthusiasts of Scranton would be sure to co-operate In the efforts to popularize a sport so healthful and beneficial as bowling, and so free of abuses and mentally stimulating be cause of the skill and spirit of contest. In fact a few of the foremost bowlers in Scranton are concerned in the effort to establish-the alley at the American house. They are desirous of broaden ing the neld of competition. Obsequies in Mayfleld of a Man Well Known in Carbondale. The respect and esteem In which the late Peter McCarthy was held by his fellow citizens of Mayfleld were strik ingly shown by the large crowd which followed the deceased to his last rest ing place yesterday. The cortege moved from the lute home of .deceased on Popular street at 0:30 o'clock and was one of the largest ever attended In the borough. At the Sacred Heart church ii requiem mass was sung by Rev. Jeremiah Dunn, the pastor. At the conclusion of the mass he delivered an eloquent sermon und during It he eulogized the deceased . In glowing terms. He also extended his slncercst sympathy to the family. The A. O. II. and the firemen marched in the funeral procession. The floral pieces presented by those two societies and the Bakers' union of this city were beautiful and spoke the love in which their late brother was held by them. The de ceased was laid at rest In Calvary cemetery. A number from this city attended the last sad rites. the company was enlarged, and more capital added' to give it facilities for manufacturing gas heaters and like appliances on an extensive scale, nil nieroud big orders have been secured In the big cities, so many of theln coin ing In that the present facilities of the plant are sorely taxed. However, as Improvements that are In process of completion the oonocrn will bo In such shape as to employ such a number of hands as will surprise the residents of this community who have no con ception of the possibilities of the new company. The latest thing to direct attention to the now company nnd to give tin idea of the possibilities of the plant Is the acquisition of W. K. Johnson, ox master mechanic of the Delaware and Hudson company's shops in this city. Mr. Johnson will act as general man ager of the now foundry and machine shops. The circumstance of a man so skilled in mechanics and who filled such capacities as being secured as general manager shows that the Metal Working company Is building on some big achievements. Mr. Johnson leaves the position of traveling engineer for the Allls-Chnlmers company, of Scran ton to return to Carbondale. FIREMEN TO CELEBRATE. has been arranged to scat them In the gallery nt ten edits per seat, Sleighing Party Entertained. There was an enjoyable time nt the homo of Mr, and Mrs. Joseph J.

The celebration of the silver Jubilee tif the Knights of Father Mathew was happily closed during the early morn ing hours of yesterday by a banquet in St. Rose ball. Toasts, filled with valu able suggestions for the work of total itbstlnencc, and illumined with wit, followed the discussion of the menu so HtitlsfuetorHy by Mulholluud Bros, the caterers of the occasion. Mark It. Campbell was the toast master, an ofllco which he lilted with grace, adding greatly to the enjoyment of the nfter-dhmer exercises. The first speaker was M. J, Horan, who In his respone to "Our Society," showed ho could bundle a somewhat uninteresting subject In a decidedly in teresting manner. The picture he drew of advantages and blessings of being a total ubstalner was the feature of his talk. David L. Walsh expressed some Hplendld patriotic sentiments in his talk on 'Our Country," and he showed that ho wus an earnest student of hjstory., Compliments of tho most gracious '.! WASN'T: CUBED. ..Didn't; Get Well of Anything. "X spent three weeks with a friend In Dayton last winter. She was using Postum Colfee exclusively as a never-ago-at meals. I sultl, 'I thought you were so fond of coffee that you could not bo Induced to give it up.' 'Well,' my friend said, 'Wo got to liking this Postum Coffee for It serves as a food as well Us u .beverage, and we have all felt so much better since leuvlng off tio old coffee,' ', VI, learned to make the I'ostum and made it flue, so when I went home I began to serve It to my husband In stead of tho old fashioned coffee, About a week afterwards I asked him how he liked ,that coffee, and told him I hud b6eii trying a new kind. He suys, 'I jnlnk.lt the most excellent. Is It Mocha or Java or a mixture?' I told Mm that it was the famous I'ostum ,wo had j-catj eo much ubout and he most Jumped from his chair la sur prise, but the change has become a llxture and lie will never give un Pos Hurri and go back to the old fashioned toffee, for we not only )lko it 'better .but we feel so much better tn every way." .This lady's name given by Pos Hum Co., Battle Creek, Mcli. TIMELY TOPICS. The constituents of Select Council man Thomas Battle on the West Side are favorably commenting on his thoughtfulness in looking after the In terests In the light ordinance now in process of councils. In the ordinance he has made pro vision for three lights for which there has been a crying necessity. Their lo cations are on Scott street, in front of tho property of Anthony Horan; on .South Hospital street, near James, Collins' property, and on Scott street ne.tr James Crane's property. The first named location Is just this side of what has been known for years as the deep cut. The spot is dark on the brightest night, by reason of tho topo graph of Upland, and on cloudy nights the inky darkness that you read about covers the roadway. Aside from this aspect, dark as pitch If you will, It is an unviting place for crime; not that any evil has ever taken place there, but it .is just such. a spot that, .would appeal to a highwayman. The location on South Hospital street, near the Collins' property, Is another one of those spots thai fill- you with giouiuy aim leunui inougius. ii is on mi elevation that places it beyond the rays of the distant arc lights ami as there Is an irregular lane there that i: illled with water about half the year, a light will be a blessing. Tho hist mimed place has never seen the rays of artificial light at 'night and the advent of an incandescent lamp will receive a great welcome. The councllinen who made provisions for other lights are to bo likewise com mended. The result is that there are not more arc lights in the outlying districts where travel is more hazard ous. There is nu city in the land that Is too well lighted, and where street lighting Is carried 'out with judgment It is a priceless blessing. On the other hand where there is a thoughtless re trenchment of expenses In this direc tion It is sure to bo found to be false economy. Councils, therefore, It would seem should not only be willing to con cede lights, where there Is good judg ment in their distribution, but should he anxious to provide all the street Il lumination possible. The coming of General John li. Gor don, who will lecture here at the Grand on Tuesday night on "Tho Last Days of the Confederacy," ought to be made quite an event. The personality of the man and the historical Interest sur rounding his career warrant and even call for this. ' General Gordon was one of the most conspicuous figures in the Confederate army. In the course that he behoved was right, he was unillnchlng, a brave soldier and a superior olllcer. Tho spirit and bravery und fearlessness runs through his whole career. In the earlier days, In the Mexican war, General Gordon was a true patriot and In the battles of that contest his fidelity as a citizen, his lovo for the Hag and his valor as a soldier were well known. To him tho country owes tho debt that she does to her true sons und nothing would bo jnoro llttlug than to give him a hejuty greeting on his com ing to Carbondale. t'his Is not said with a view to benefitting the promo ters of the entertainment course, under wnose auspices ho appears, for tho patronage of tho night Is already as sured, but it is to declare for the recog nition that General Gordon deserves und which Is likely to be lost sight of in thu hurry and rush of these days. It would be a gracious compliment to General Gordon to be honored with such a reception and It would be another step to bring closer together tho people of the north and south," who were never closer than they are to day. The Grand Army men of the town are manifesting a proper Interest in his coming, and It Is hoped Hint they will be present In force on Tuesday evening to hall the brave son or the south. Tho effort to bring the school children out to hear General Gordon is highly commendable und It will be u means of fostering a blessed spirit within them. General Gordon Is an educated and cultured gentleman and his lecture, aside from his personality, will bo worth the visit to hear him. - t Graduully tho Curbondulo Metal Working company Is broadening its scope and Is being endowed with a vi tality that will make It u mighty big factor and force in the Industrial ac tivities of this part of the stute. Since J The Frankie Company's Return. The Frankie Stock company was given a good reception nt the Grand lust night when it opened u return engagement of three nights, with a matinee on Saturday. "My Friend from India," the play innumerable funny situations, laugh able complications and bright dialogue, was the bill and was well produced.

Tonight McKee Rankin's border drama, "Forty-Nine," which wus. well rendered last week, will be the attrac tion. An extra attraction will be the vaudeville numbers by amateurs, a contest having been opened to local talent. Miss Eoomis' Merits Recognized. The merits of Miss Kstellc Loomis as one adopted lo express the human emo tions, have been given desired recog nition in her engagement to play Por tia In a company which is to produce "The Merchant of Venice" on the road. The company is now rehearsing in New york city. This will be highly acceptable news to Miss Loomls' friends and admirers in this city, who saw her In the com pany of "Our Nev Minister," but re gretted that the part sho had was so circumscribed that she had no chance for the talents which she has shown to possess. R T. Skclly, of Ilonesdale, was a vis itor In Carbondale yesterday. Thomas V. Nealon enjoyed a sleigh lido to Archbald last evening. T. 10.

Burr Is in New York city, attending a social meeting of tho Graham Alumni association. Before her return, Mrs. Burr will visit Dr. and Mrs. Paxtou, in Princeton, N. J, Dr. Puxton Is one or the protessors in tho theological seminary of Princeton. A Play Worth Seeing. A play that is worth the seeing, one In which there Is meritorious acting, Is "Our New Minister," which comes lo the Grand, Monday night, to play a re turn engagement. No better pastoral play has been seen in Carbondale. and to this those who enjoyed it New Year's day will testily It touches the lesson of liberality in religious views in n, forceful maimer, by simply giving a true picture of life as it is or has been In the narrow-minded town of Hard scrabble, Vt. A splendid company pro duces the play. ' To Go to Chicago. Miss May Bits, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kit Birs, of Washington street, who holds a good position with the Mills music publishing house of New York city, has been advanced nnd will leave the metropolis In a few days for Chicago to assume direction of the branch .house of that concern which has just been opened in the big city of the west.

You can smother a cough with your hand but you can't cure it that way. Some medi cines only smother coughs. Scott's Emulsion cures them. Old coughs and deep-rooted coughs can't be cured until the inflammation which causes them has been replaced by healthy tissue, That is exactly tlie kind of thorough work Scott's Emul sion does. It changes the entire nature of the throat and lungs so- that there is' nothing to cough about. Send for Vxee Sample. SCOXTi: JJOWNK, ChcuiUt, 495 fcatl St,, N. Y.

The fact is singular because of tho neglect to uso Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in the early stages of disease', a medicino so widely known because of its cures. ' The witnesses to these cures aro legion. Clcrrrvmcn. . doctors, merchants, farmers, men and women in every walk of ate, arc among tuoso wno, tor tuo uencnt ot other suttcrcrs, point to tho simple and economic means of cure offered in tho use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. "I was not well for two years," writes Mr.) James M. Sizeinore, of Mitchell, Lawrence Co., Ind., Box 501. "My throat was ahyay3 sore, h;ad ached and back ached nearly all the tiuie. My weight was 155 Jiounds. I was taken sick with typhoid fever, and when the fever eft me I had such a pain in my left side I could not breathe without t ai 1... t ......... .i: n.. ...:r ......a , i. j: . mv doctor's medicine and began with the ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and ' Pel lets.' I at once began to feel better ; the paiu soon left my side and I could breathe with ease. In a week or so I felt so goo'd I, could not stay in the room. I began to walk about the streets ; I felt better each morning. After a. month's use of the medicine I was well. That was over a year ago. Now I weigh 184 pounds and feel better than ever in my life." "I was afflicted for several years with a comnlicatiou of diseases: neuralgia of stomach, rheumatism and kidney trouble," writes Mrs. Luella Garlinghouse, of Galena, Delaware Co., O. "After doctoring with five of the best physicians of our town for two or three years without receiving any particular benefit, I decided to write to Dr. R. V. Pierce and give him a brief description of mv case. You kindly answered my letter immediately, recommending a persistent and systematic course of treatment with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Also requesting that I follow the hygienic advice which vou enclosed, and which I did with the following results: When I wrote lo Dr. Pierce I had been sick for several years with rheumatism, but for the last year other diseases set in. I had neuralgia of stomach, also a pain in my heel and ankle (they were swelled during the day), and paiu at the very end of the spine, so I could hardly sit down at all. My throat was very sore every night- for three months, and my stomach was so sore I couldn't bear the weight of my clothes. Strange to say I had an euormous'appetite, but everything I ate gave me that pain in the stomach. In fact, I was so discouraged I never expected to get well, but after consulting Dr. Pierce I felt some hopes of recovery. After taking thirteen bottles of 'Goldeu Medical Discovery,' two of 'Favorite Prescription and three vials of Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets I felt entirely well." Every farmer and dairyman knows that it is of the first importance that the vessels into which the fresh milk is put shall be absolutely clean. The slightest taint in tho vessel will taint all tho milk that is put into it. It is very much the same way with the stomach. If the stomach is diseased it must injuriously affect the food put into the stomach. And as the blood is made from digested food, the blood also must suf fer contamination from the diseased stomach. Then because blood is tho life of the body and feeds every organ of the body, whatever affects the healthy quality of the blood must affect the organs which feed on the blood, and, therefore, affect the whole body, the life and sustenance of which is tho blood made from food. These facts con nect the diseased stomach with every organ and tissue of the body, and partly explain why Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery which cures diseases of the' stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition, also jmrifies tho blood and cures through the stomach diseases of organs seeming remote from tho stomach, but yet so linked lo it and dependent on it that they cannot have sound health so long as the stomach and digestive and nutritive system arc diseased. Instead of trying Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery as a last resort, try it first of all. Its use offers tho greatest possibility of cure. It always helps. It almost always cures. Sick people, arc invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free. All correspond enco strictly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, K.' Y. Accept no substitute for " Golden Medical Discovery." There is nothing "just as good" for diseases of the stomach and blood. yW &Mmarffl BFff&Tr SW Oon't noglaot tho oppor- 11 11 . fsmity to gat a copy esf Of.

Heavy Travel to Florida and the South. The tide of travel which sets in every winter from the northern suites to tho milder climates ot the south and southwestern portions of the country has -.begun this year at a very much lucreused rate over that of any pre vious season. Transportation compan ies report that their facilities ure com pletely utilized, and that eurly appli cation Is often necessary In order to secure choice accommodations. The Southern railway's new and palatial train, the "Southern's Palm Limited," which began Its service In tho middle of Junuury, between New York ana tho more prominent resorts ot the South, has proved a welcome and In view of the Increased travel a neces sary addition to the means of inter communication between these two sec tions. This train Is running heavily loaded every day, every compartment and stateroom being taken, and It has frequently been necessary to put on additional sleeping cars in order to ncconunodato tho demand, Tho popu larity of this train Is mainly due to tho prominence of tho points which it touched and tho quick time which It makes between New York nnd Florida. Another train operated by tho Southern Railway system Is the Washington und Southwestern Limited, Its .close con nection with the "Sunset Limited" of the Southern Puclflc company nt New Orleans to Mexico and the Pacific coast makes It a popular southern route for winter travel. This system offers quick service to tho beautiful "Land of tho Sky." tho mountain reg ion of North Carolina, within which aro located such famous resorts a"ft, Plnehurst, Ashcvillo and Hot Springs, also to Columbia, SummervlIIo, Alkon nnd Augusta. Theso places are easily reached, and Is one of tho main rea sons for tho present great Increase of Southern travel. Tho travel to the still milder and more southernly lo cated resorts In Florida, St. Augustine, Palm Reach, Orniond, Tampa and oth er places on both tho Atlantic und Gulf coasts of tho state seems to be equally heavy. Tho Southern Railway youto is also most popular among travelers to Cuba, since tho quick time made between New York und Tampa und Miami, materially shortens the trip to Havana. Travel westward through the Gulf states to New Orleans and the west Is unusually heavy, and the approaching Murtll Urus festivities In New Orleans are ulso attracting a con siderable number of northern visitors to that city.
