WEST SCRANTON
Fourth Passed Off Quietly Without Any
Accidents or Fires Three Deaths Yes
terday Notes and Personals.
Yesterday was unquestionably the
tamest Fourth of July In West Scranton
that even tho oldest resident could re
call, nnd as far as could bo learned not
a Are, accident or arrest occurred to
mar tho pleasure of the day, which was
one of tho most delightful of the sca
Bon. Hero and there nn occasional explo
sion of fireworks could be heard during
tho day, and In tho evening a number
of enthusiasts made things somewhat
.lively for a tlmo In the vicinity of Main
avenue and Jackson street, but aside
from this there wns "nothing doing"
of note. Some pretty nerlnl displays
were made during the evening by pri
vate parties nnd Illuminations were
(ulte frequent.
The firemen on duty had absolutely
nothing to do, outside of their regular
work, and Lieutenant Davis and his
nicn were on the alert day nnd night
to preserve order. Their services were
not needed, except In a general way.
Not a single arrest was made up to 10
o'clock, last night, and but one appli
cation was made at the West Side hos
pital for relief, that being a small boy
who was but slightly injured.
Tho traffic on the street cars was tho
heaviest since the motormen and con
ductors resumed work, and several
thousand people from West Scranton
spent tho day at Nay Aug park. The
excursion of St. Brenden's council to
Blnghamton attracted over a thousand
people, and tho other excursions alsow
drew large crowds from this part of
tho city. The attendance at the West
Side Driving club's races on the Speed
way was also gratifying to the promot
ers. 'The Electric City Wheelmen kept
"open house" nil day. In the morning
a match game of ten pins was played
between members of the club, and in
the afternoon the boys enjoyed a mus
icale, vocal and instrumental selections
being given by C. A. Eynon, Will Wil
liams, the E. C. W. quartette and oth
ers. In the evening fireworks were
displayed, and the boys wound up the
day with a clambake.
Nearly all the stores were closed dur
ing the day and the merchants enjoyed
the days with their families, while the
clerks enjoyed drives to nearby lakes
and patronized tho various attractions
of the day. An unusually large crowd
of West Scranton people spent the
Fourth at Lake Winola, whore dances

Picnic at tho Hound Woods.
One of the most enjoyable events of
the Fourth wns tho picnic held nt tho
Round Woods, under the auspices of
the Epworth league of tho ' Embury
Methodist Episcopal church. Large
crowds were In attendance all day and
evening, and the attraction proved to
be a welcome one, especially to people
residing in that locality.
Refreshments were served by tho
young ladies of the league, assisted by
the young men of the church, nnd
games of various kinds were indulged
In. A good sum was realized from tho
undertaking.
A Good Suggestion.
A prominent church worker suggested
to The Tribune correspondent yester
day that it would be a good plan for
the various Sunday schools of West
Scranton to .hold their picnics this year
in the Round Woods, whioh Is an Ideal
place to take the children for a day's
outing.
This suggestion also brings to mind
tho advisability of securing the Round
Woods for a public park, where every
body could enjoy the delightful air and
surroundings as a public breathing
place. The land company is willing to
soil the tract at reasonable figures, it
is said.
Jackson Street Baptist Church Notes.
The church Is gradually changing its
appearance. It will be light and bright
in a few days.
.Brother Coombs and helpers relald
the flagstones before the church nnd
raised them up level with the curb,
which Is a great improvement.
The work In the Sunday school room
will begin next Monday morning.
Everything has been made ready. A
few willing hands are needed. Plenty
of work, but very few to do It.

From tho Wdnuin's Homo Companion.
When King Edward VII., then Prince
of Wales, nnd traveling us Baron Ren
frew, visited Philadelphia In I860, one of
the places, ho particularly expressed a
desire to visit was Independence Hall.
There he srient a very considerable time
examining every object nnd nsklng
mnnv nilontlnnn. Tn (tin nnnlnmtlnn
chamber ho was shown the Liberty Bell,
wnicn, it is said, was stored away In
a corner and surrounded by a lot of
boXOS and rilllhlsh. Thn nrlnrn nr.
pressed great surprise that nn object
wnicn so justly deserved veneration
should bo treated with so little respect,
and It Is said that, turning to the may
or, ho exclaimed, "This bell should be
treasured nnd reverenced by tho peoplo
of tho United Stutes as their most pre
cious heirloom!"
That remark stirred a 'ripple of
thought In tho right direction; but It
operated slowly, and alth'ougti talk of
restoring Indonendence Hull heVnmn

acceieraieu ny tne centennial, nothing
of a substantial nature wns done until
a few yenrs ago. To the Colonial

"Cradle of Liberty" just as It was tho
day the first Continental congress as
sembled there.
SOUTH SCRANTON NOTES.
Fire Early Yesterday Morning On
Brook Street A Very Quiet
July 4."
At an early hour yesterday morning,
a fire occurred on'the upper portion of
Brook street near No. 5 cemetery, one
house being totally destroyed and an
adjoining one partly so.
No definite cause for the flro could be
ascertained, beyond the fact that it or
iginated In the house owned by Michael
Walsh, but whether due to fireworks or
carelessness could not be learned.
Several persons tried to turn in an
alarm but the gong did not respond
properly and the firemen being puzzled,
stayed at their posts. Flnully a young
man Jumped astride a horse, galloped
to tne Centurys and Neptunes, gave
the location of the Are and urged the
need of hose.
Both companies started Instantly
with the hose carts, but when half-way,
the Neptunes were notified that the en
gine was necessary, as no water plugs
were In tho vicinity and water would
have to be pumped from the creek.
They turned back, hitched up the; en
gine, and again started. When they
nrrlved, however, the Walsh house was
burned to the ground, and an ndjolning
dwelling, the property of Joseph Rosar,
was ablaze.
A stream was started as soon as pos
sible, but despite their efforts, the Ro
sar property was partially consumed.
No blame attaches to the firemen, as
the fire alarm apparatus was out of
order. The damage, which is partially
covered by Insurance, amounts to about
$2,000.
A-Quiet Fourth.
Yesterday was tho quietest Fourth
In years, although In the matter of dec
orations and fireworks, the South Side
showed up In distinct contrast to the
central city. Tho national colors ap
peared profusely on every block along
Cedar and Pittston avenues, between
the bridge nnd Elm sticet. In many
instances pains had been taken in tho
decorating and artistic taste was dis
played. For Instance the home of Mr.
nnd Mrs. Joseph Schell, of Willow
street, presented a charming effect with
strings of bunting on the porch and a
multitude of flags on the lawn. Othes
places worthy of mention wero the
properties owned by George Mlrtz,
George Rosar, Henry Boettchcr, Doddy
Phillips, and Dr. Albert Kolb.
'The day was notably free of accident,
but the young people enjoyed them
selves to tholr utmost and as far as
could bo learned only one young man
was hurt. His name is Herman, and
his face was slightly burned and powder-stained
by the premature explosion
of a cannon cracker.
Excursionists Here.
An excursion train, which was run to
this city over the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western from Buffalo, yes
terday, bi ought fully one hundred for
mer residents of this side to spend the
day with friends nnd relatives.
Those seen by The Tribune man ap
peared to bo well satisfied with the now
conditions, and one machinist, who for
merly worked for the Lackawanna Iron
and Steel company In this city as a
'machinist, at $2.25 a duy, says ho Is
now getting $2.75 a day.
The steel company lot n contract re
cently for tho building of 450 six and
eight-room houses, and It Is expected
before many months to have all tho
employes comfortably housed on com
pany property. Rent nnd tho cost of
living is somewhut higher than In this
city, but this Is more than offset by tho
IncreasQ In wages which the company
Is able to pay, owing to the decrease In
tho cost of steel-making at tho new
plant.
Tho Lackawanna Steel company
closed Its works Thursday night until
next Monday morning, so that tho ex
cursionists tiro enabled to stuy over
until tomorrow night.

MISS LAURA HOWARD,

the Best Doctors of Chicago Had
Failed to Help Her.
Suoh letters as tho following must surely convey conviction to the hearts
of all women that the great claims that Mrs. Piulclinm makes for her medicine
must be based upon positive evidence.
Is it reasonable, think you, tlmt we could hire such women as Miss How
ard to speak well of Lydia E. Pinkhnm's Vegetable Compound Just
for commercial reasons ? Impossible I and it is an Insult both to her and to
Mrs. Pinkham to suggest such an Idea therefore, let every woman read this
lower and bellove, for it Is as genulno in every, particular as tho eyes with
which you read these words.
Mrs. Plnkhnm invites all women who arc ill to write her fo
advice. Address Lynu, Mass., giving full particulars.

MISS LAURA HOWARD.
Pinkham: I can thank you for perfect health to-day,
aoknowledee it. Life looked so dark to me a vear or
"Dear Mrs.
and gladly do I
two ago. J. naa constant pains, my limbs swelled, .Lnad dizzy spells, and
never knew one day how I would feel the next. I was nervous and had
no appetite, neither could I sleep soundly nights. Eight bottles of
Iiydift E. PInkham's Vegetable Compound, used in conjunction with
your Sanative Wash, did more for mo than all the medicines and.the
skill of the doctors. For eight months I have enjoyed perfect health.
I verily believe that most ofithe doctors are guessing and experhrienting
when they try to cure a woman with an assortment of complications,
such as mine; but you did not guess when you mixed your Compound;
you evidently know what you are giving suffering women and are sure ot
what it will do. Howl wish all suffering women could onlyknowof your
remedy: there would be less suffering and many thousands more happy
and healthy women in America." Laura Howard, 113 Newberry Ave.,
Chicago, 111. , x
O, my sisters, I do pray you to profit by Miss Howard's experi
ences ; just as surely as she was oured of tho troubles enumerated
in her letter, just so surely -will Lydia E. Pinlcham's Vegetable
Compound cure every woman In the land who suffers from womb
troubles. Inflammation of the ovaries, kidne y troubles, nervous
excitability, and nervous prostration ; remember that it is Lydia
E. Pinkhnm's Vegetable Compound that is curing women, and
don't allow any druggist to sell you anything else in its place.
