WEST SCRANTON
Lecture by Attorney Darrow Election of
Officers Kicked by a Mule.
Other News Notes.
If the people of the West. Scrnulnn
had had any Idea what u treat was In
Ptorc for thcin tit the Plymouth Cnn
Etegntlonal church last evening un
doubtedly a much larger assemblage
would havo greeted Hon. Clarence
Darrow and his lectin c on "Tolstoi."
Incidental to the lecture solos were
rendered by Mrs. Via Jones-Hlteheoek
nnd Tlilllp Warren, accompanied liy
Mrs. D. ii. Thomas.
It was expected that many mine
rworkers would avail themselves of this
opportunity to hear Sir. Danow, but
comparatively few were present, and
the audience was composed mostly of
ntudcnts of literature, business and pro
cessional men, school teachers and wo
men. Among the notables present were
'Attorneys McCarthy, Lloyd and John
.1. Murphy, Rev. J'eter Huberts, D. D.,
md Assistant Recorder Slosely, of the
Htrlkc commission, nnd John II. Devlnc,
president of the Central Labor union.
Mr. Darrow was Introduced by Itev.
T. A. Humphreys, pastor of the church,
who said the audience was to have an
oratorical and literary treat nnd such
Indeed It proved to be. It contained
much of Mr. Barrow's personal views
on socialistic matters as well as Ideas
of Tolstoi.
"It Is not alone for the good he has
done, or even the good he has Sought
to do," the speaker said, "that the life
nnd woi-k of Leo Tolstoi shine so
brightly through the mists and dark
ness of the world. .Since man was born
upon the earth there have been the
rich and poor, the strong and the weak,
the master and the slave." One class has
ever had the power to rule and the
humble millions been forced to do Us
bidding and Its will.
"These poor nnd weak nnd suffering
ones have been hewers of wood and
drawers of water not because they
wished it so, but because they had no
power to choose. Patiently through all
the ages, they have bent their backs
to receive the heavy burden which
I'arth'.t favored ones have decreed that
they should bear and yet through the
long, dark centuries they have groaned
and muttered and cursed the fate which
doomed them, and theirs to suffer .for
the world.
"Tolstoi was reared and educated like
others of his class. lip found a title
waiting ready to distinguish him fiom
his humble fellow man, and his early
training served to separate him still
further from his natural kith and kin.

a brave soldier, and risked his life as
one would risk a pawn upon the board.
He rose to distinction in the army, was

his mllltnry'llff. Then were written
some of his marvelous short stories,
which made him famous throughout the

"Out It Is not by these novels Hint he

his earlier years. Ho will live In his
tory for his philosophy of life. Ills

N. M. EICKE SUCCESSFUL.
Induced Dr. Howard. Company to
Make Special Price.
After a great deal of effort and cor
respondence, N. M. Klcke, the popular
druggist, has succeeded In getting the
Dr. Howard company to make a spe
cial half-price introductory offer on the
regular llfty cent size of their cele
brated specific for the cure of consti
pation and dyspepsia.
This medicine Is a recent discovery
for tho euro of all diseases of the stom
ach and bowels. It not only gives quick
relief, but it makes permanent cures.
Dr. Howard's specific lias been so re
markably successful In cuilng consti
pation, dyspepsia and all liver troubles,
that N. M. Elcko Is willing to return
the price paid In every case where it
does not give relief.
Tho old-fashioned Idea of dosing with
mineral waters, cathartic pills or haibh
purgatives will soon bo a thing of the
past. The best physicians are prescrib
ing Dr. Howard's specillc because It
really gives the desired results and on
account of tho small and pleasant doso
that Is needed.
Headaches, coated tongue, dizziness,
gas on stomach, specks beforo the eyes,
constipation, and nil tonus of liver and
stomach trouble are soon cured by this
scientific medicine.
So great is the demand for this spe
llc, that N. M, Elcke hus been able to
secure only a limited supply, nnd every
one who Is tumbled with dyspepsia,
constipation or liver trouble should call
upon lilin at once, or send 23 cents, and
set sixty dose's of the best medicine
ever made, on this special half-priio
oi for, with his iwmmmI guarantee to
refund the money If It does not cum.
