DWYER'S UNKNOWN WAS
THROWN BY M'LEOD
Put His Shoulders Down on the Slat
Three Times Within an Hour at
the Bicycle Club.
Dan S. McLeod, tho Canadian wrest
ler, again proved his superiority last
night by throwing a short, stocky "un
known," backed by Prof. M. J. Dwyer,
three times In an hour, at the Scrnnton
Bicycle club.
McLeod agreed to throw the unknown
three times In an hour, for a side bet of
$100 und the entire gate receipts. The
unknown nosltlvely refused to reveal
his Identity last night, and Gideon
Perry, McLeod's manager, wns ut a.
loss to tell who he was. He had heard
of him, he said, but did not know his
real name. He is a young man, built
almost tho same as McLeod. and looked
to be in splendlcl trim when he stepped
on the mat. McLeod Is in training for
his big match with Jim Parr, the Eng
lish champion, on April 10, and was In
first-class condition.
The unknown Kent on the defensive
from the start and wormed out of some
mighty ticklish holds. Several times ho
was all but gone, and the crowd thought
all was up. The next minute he would
be on his hands and knees, and smiling
over his shoulder at McLeod. The lat
ter, however, didn't do very much ical
hard wrestling until ho laid out Mr.
Unknown nt the end of twentv-seven
minutes and twenty-two seconds.
After an interval of ten minutes, he
went after Dvvyer's man ut a furious
pace. The latter appeared to be pretty
thoroughly tired out, and though he
strove hard he was laid flat at the end
of four minutes and forty-five seconds.
He held out a little better when they
went nt it again and wired himself out
of two neck holds In un exceptionally
clever manner. Ho even tried to nut
McLeod down, but he couldn't do much
with the hitter's Iron neck and bis,
muscular back. Ho realized this and
fell back on-lho defensive, to be nut
down at the end of thirteen minutes
and fifteen seconds, or forty-five min
utes' actual wrestling time, all told.
Hugh Keenan, the referee, announced
between the second and third falls that
McLeod, having heaid that Prof. Dwyer
was not satisfied with the last mntch.
would agree to put up $200 that he
(McLeod) could put the professor down
five times in an hour. Dwyer will be
communicated with immediately.
Thero Is a possibility of a match here
between "Big Tom" Jenkins and Mc
Leod. President Connolly lias received
n letter from Jenkins, In which the lat
ter expresses his willingness to meet
anybody in particular here. McLeod,
who wns thrown some time ago by Jen
kins, two falls out of three, and who
claims that he was "done all kinds ot
dirt" on that occasion, is so anxious to
meet Jenkins that he is willing to
wrestle for nothing nt all, ,.
Jenkins, however, wants n pui-Fe or n
big guarantee, nnd if the match Is
pulled off it would have to be arranged
for the nrmory, where ?l,r;oo or more
could be realized. Mr. Connolly will en
deavor to interest some local men In a
plan to havo McLeod and Jenkins meet
here. Such an event would be one of
the i cully big matches of many years,
and would attract attention all oer the
country.

ANNUAL MESSAGE '
OF THE RECORDER
Work Accomplished
During the Fiscal
Year Just Closed.
Wisdom of Creating
Departments JDe
monstrated by the
Results Achieved.
'A document of unusual Interest to tho
people of Scrnnton Is the annual mes
sage 6C Recorder W. L. Connell. which
reviews what was done by the city gov
ernment of Scrnnton durlnir the year
following the change from a city of the
third to the second class.
The message shows that tho business
of the various departments ot the city
government hns been reduced to a sys
tematlq working basis and that better
resutts are being obtained than were
possible under the conditions that nre
vailcd when we were a city of the third
class. The message follows:
The annual message of Recorder W.
L. Connell, rend at the Joint session of
councils yesterday, follows:
To the Honorable, tho Select und Common Conn
ells, City of Scranton, l'a.
flcntlrmeii: In pinsuanco of the piolilon of
tho Art of March 7, 1P01, I heron II h present for
the considciatlon cf your honorable bodies my
annual message, settliu; foilh as completely as
possible tho work of the exceutiie departments
of the municipal government during the pa-t
.icar, alomr with recommendations for micIi le-i-datlon
as nppaier.lly urces for the earliest con
sidciation at lour hands.
1 Imc alo submitted the reports of the fev
eial departments, as ltturned to ine by the re
speclho dlrcctois and heads of departments,
which ihow in greater detail than I could present
in tho compass of a brief communication, ihe
actual work which the ellllerent offices oio called
upon to pcrfoini in the course of a jear.
I especially recommend these reports to jour
considciatlon. They arc- cleai, conci-e and Iium
nosnlilio statements, and I beliceo, constitute! the
best espositlon of tha work of such important
branches of the municipal go eminent, as tho
bureaus ot police nnd Iho nnd of cnglnccitiis
and highways and seweis, that lias cer been
made. A perusal of tlicc leports will show- that
the heads of these department hue tho detail
of their woik well in hand.
The groupine; together of those branches of the
city go eminent which were naturally allied, into
one general department under a sinnle dlicelor,
has giently increased tho cll'ciemy of the-e
sceral buicaiia and has tended to male moic
cfiectlio the whole miuucipil oiaulzatiop. It
has permitted the iliuction of tho work of the
kindled buieaus along haimoniou line-, and has
made ponible the piosecutiou of a unifoini pol
icy of iidtninl-itutioii, a condition, which under
the oil pjstcni of dijoimd nnd ihaotic deput
men!.-, was absolutely unobtainable.
That the industrial interests af the city 'iae
MilVeicd dining the paU jc.ii fioni scu'ial feiious
labor disturbance:,, and that these disturbances
haee entailed li.nd-lilp and MilTcring on many
hundieds of our liboiing people, and a dliect
financial luss to tho emplojcis, ia a fact which
has been appaicut to all, and the ic-ultant indus
trial situation has been deplored by all good
Litizrus.
During the prcgio-s of these troubles the rity
has been remarkably free from M'lioin broaches
of the public peace. There has been a whole
foine respect for law and uulci shown by the
gteat majority of our people Some of our citi
zens may take exceptions to this Matcmeut, jet
alter a careful camiuition into the uimlillo h
which hac jiice Jllctl in othei cities wheio simi
lar strikes have oicuued, I am comimed tint
the general conduct nb-rrcd(liy can people bin
been Mich as will lieu moie than niillnarll
f.noiable compailson with that of tho people of
other cities.
Nevertheless, dopite thi-e adui-e couditiin-,
the city has made substantial piome-, dining ihe
hint twelve months (as ohown by our bail'Iiii',"
itatinticf, and b.v ihe upotts of the uieicaniile

It U pjiticulJily gratifying to mo to bo able
to announce to jour honorable bodies at tills

is ono which calls for careful examination. Tlielo
lias been a veiy manifest tendency in the paU to
penult or cause the piling up of obllg.'tlms
against Iho city In excess of spcclllc appropria
tions'. 'Jhls is an evil, for we can call It by
no other name, for which no apologies or ex
planations can be accepted. J cjesiiu to take this
opportunity to announce to jour honorable
bodies, and for tho benelit of all of tho munici
pal departments, that no debts incurred, against
which there is. not a tulticient and proper uppio
prlatlon, will be ucognlted during tho coming
jejr as a legal obligation of the city, unless such
debt or obligation has been incurud under ex.
plow direction of the piopcr authority, as pro.
ldecl by law,
The light of transacting ths public business is
j trust which should bo executed with tho cams
care and fidelity as would be shown in the prose
cution ot any private enterprise. Strictly pcak.
lug, there U no isucli thing as u city dehcieiicy.
At the beginning of each fiscal jear certain sums
nf money are set aside for spcclllc purposes in
nCCORDCR W. T.. CONNEM,.
tho several departments, nnd If any head o( de
partment shall nuthorlrc or direct n greater ex
penditure of money than ho Ins been provided
with, lie can only do so at the Imminent i!k
of being required to pay these excess debts from
lili private purse, nnd in order to socuio the city
in tho premises, tho date authority Ins een tit
to place these department heads under heavy
bonds.
Bond Issue.
There has just been passed by j-our honorable
bodies an ordinance providing for the bonding
of the city in tho sum of $29.,000. I wish to
congratulate councils upon the promptness with
which this xery important measure was consid
ered and passed. At the time thlt, ordinance
was submitted I addressed a communication to
jour honorable bodies in which I explained in de
tail the purposes to which it was proposed to ap
ply the proceeds of this is-ue. As I stated at
that tune, tho piinclpal item is $100,001) which
is to be used for the purpose of funding the judg
ments which have accumulated against the city,
thereby saving an annual interest charge on this
portion of tho city's debt of .',100. The le
malnder of tho Issue, amounting to 'lSj.OOO,
which Is the only portion that can f.ilily bo con
sidered as additional debt, will be devoted to
mch municipal inipi moments as in tho opl.ihn
of the dhectors of the departments of public
safely and public works the best interests ot the
clt.v imperatively demands.
Tho total interest chai go of this bond is.-uc
will only bo about S,'W more than tho inter
est which Is now ncciiilng on Iho tllj's out
standing judgments. AMimiing that our luteiost
chaige lemaincd us at present on our Judgment
debt, wo will obtain fl6.'i,000 for imiuedlutc use
on miny municipal improvement at an extreme
ly low interest late. Moicovcr, reference to

for the additional interest chnge hie lined

take cue if the piiucipil ot the debt itself din
ing the Iciin of tho bunds.
Department Public Safety.
The icport of tho chlcctor of the depaitni'tt
of public safctv- is a verj- instructive exposition
of the work of tho seveial important buicias
which comprise this department, and coutiinc a
number of exceedingly wise 5uirgrstiem.-( ic'.' thj

Captain Atherton became secretary
ot tho board of trade eight yenrs ago

few of them nre the direct result of the
hustling secretary's effort.
Among tho more noted Industries
which nro Scranton Institutions, wholly
or In part, as it result of his activities,

ton Holt and Nut works, tho Simpson,
illlsa & Iteming, David & Schoeu silk
mills, and the Tlmmes & Hecht spike
mill.
The successor of Captain Atherton ns

PAINE'SCELERY
COMPOUND
Reaches the Root of Every Female
Trouble and Hakes Our
Women Strong and
Vigorous.
It Is a most regrettnblo fact, nnd a
calamity, too, that our women, youiiK
nnd old, arc numbered nmoitBSt tho
most unhealthy ot females In the civil
ized world. For delicacy of beauty, in
tellectual capacity; and for nil (graces
that adorn tho sex, they stand peerless;
but It Is doubtful If one In ton can be
found who Is functionally und organic
ally well.
This absence of feminine health and
vlfforotts vltullty Is duo to a neglect of
nature's unerring laws. Immediate ref
ormation Is necessary if our nation
would have women who will become
true wives and mothers with an off
spring that will prove a strength to the
country.

women are now victims, Pnlnc'a Celery

M. D. LL.D., and its specific action In
correcting disorders or the female or
ganism, are well known to the medical
profession and to the tens of thousands
of women who have been rutsed from
weakness and disease to health and
physical happiness.
Pnlne's Celery Compound ttulckly
gives the true health tint to sallow and
bloodless faces; It gives life and light
to the eyes; It gives pure, clean blood

blessed cheerfulness that Is the delight
