(Bpei_'lal Correspondence.)
Philadelphia, Oct. 9. —From every
county in the state come expressions
of approval of the appointment of Gen.
Frank Reeder as commissioner of
banking by Governor Stone to succeed
the late Col. Thomas J. Powers. Stal
wart Republicans recognize this ap
pointment as a timely recognition of
a brave soldier, a staunch party man
and a faithful and successful worker in
the cause of Republicanism. Gen.
Reeder's selection, of course, does not
meet approval of th" insurgents, whom
he has been fighting since they entered
upon their conspiracy against the reg
ular Republican organization. He is
naturally a fresh target for their
vituperative abuse and slanderous edi
torial assaults. His record as a public
epirited citizen of Pennsylvania can
not be detracted from by the malicious
onslaughts of the yellow journals who
are but part and parcel of the insur
gent political machine.
Governor Stone has taken occasion
to tell the public what he thinks of
the subsidized .. papers that have
been attac king t v. rything Republican
hi this state for ;n.me years and he
has shown that lie is absolutely in
difi'eieut to their attacks.

barber says:—"l did not have to nwe a
whole box of Doan's Kidney Pills before
they cured niy back of depressing ach
ing and removed the lameness which
had made every moment painful. The
lameness centered right over my kid
neys, and stooping or lifting sent a
sharp twinges throngh me. When on
my feet a dull gnawing pain took all
the vim out of me. I gave some to Mr.

was pleased as with the j>ostive results
obtained.''

NOT IN FAVOR
OF ALMSHOUSES
Wilkes-Barre, October, 10. —In deliv
ering an address of welcome to the dele
gates present here Tuesday at the open
ing of the annual State convention of
the Directors of the Poor and Public
Charities, Mayor F. M. Nichols, boldly
advanced a system by which he would
do away with the almshouses in Penn
sylvania and substitute what he emphat
ically called ' 'industrial villages, "where
the poor would be made to work and
thus contribute to the cost of their sup.
port. The paper made a marked im
pression.
After the Mayor's address N. P. West
of Delaware County, and Miss Elizabeth
O'Neill of Crawford, responded in a
happy vein and Louis Tisch. of this city
president of the association, gave a brief
review of the year's work. Cadwala
der Biddle, of Philadelphia, general
agent of the Board of Charities, deliver
ed an address giving the object, aim and
some of the results accomplished by the
charitable organizations of Pennsylvan
ia. He was followed by Frederick Ful
ler, of Scranton, who spoke on the pre
ventive work of the future as it regards
the question of pauperism.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR AMERICANS.
Havana, Oct. 10.—Governor General
Wood says that Cuba now offers great
opportunities to Americans who will
come here and settle. Land is cheap or
can be rented on a small royalty of pro
ductions. Returns would be quick. He
recommends the cultivation by immi
grants of tobacco and fruit and the rais
ing of cattle.
At the palace today representatives of
every mercantile gnild in Havana joined
in presenting to Governor Wood an ad
dress expressing gratitude for what he
has done in the way of reforming the
mercantile registries. The address was
accompanied with a pen mounted with
diamonds and rubies. The Board of
Trade and the richest commercial houses
of the city were represented at the func
tion.
By order of the military Government,
and through Senor Gener, Secretary of
Justice, trial by jury was inaugurated
in Cuba today and the writ of habe as
corpus was established.
Commissioners representing the Church
and the State have been appointed to
determine the property rights of the
former.
Banker Routs a Robber.
J. R. Garrison, Cashier of the bank of
Thornville, Ohio, had been robbed of
health by a serious lung trouble until
he tried Dr. King's New Discovery for
Consumption. Then he wrote: "It is the
best medicine I ever used for a severe
cold or a bad case of lung trouble. I al
ways keep a bottle on hand. " Don't suf

Bituminous Traffic Helps Railroaders.
Reading, Pa., Oct. 10 —Hundreds of
railroaders, who otherwise would be
thrown out of work by the stoppage of
anthracite shipments over the Reading
Railway, are now employed in bringing
through soft coal from the West. Only
seventeen cars of hard coal were sent
down the road to-day. The average be
fore the strike was 1400 cars daily.
A Fiendish Attack.
An attack was lately made on C. F.
Collier of Cherokee, lowa, that nearly
proved'fatal. It came through his kid
neys. His back got so lame he could
not stoop'withont great pain, nor sit in
a chair except propped by cushions. No
reinedylhelped him until he tried Elec
trie Bitters which effected such a won
derful change that he writes he feels
like a new man. This marvelous medi
cine cures backache and kidney trouble,
purifies the blood and builds up }'our
health. Only 50c at Paules & Co's.

There was a colored baptizing at
Sandy Bottom, Billville. The last con
vert togo under the water was an old
colored woman, who all the while had
been seated in a rickety buggy drawn
by an ancient mule who hfld been
through the civil war.
She came up out of the water all
right, but after proceeding a short dis
tance on her way home the mule be
came unmanageable and upset the bug
gy In the middle of a deep creek.
The old woman, with drenched gar
ments, clung to a "foot log" Just ns the
parson who bad recently baptized her
rode up.
He heard her r,wearing at tho refrac
tory mule In vigorous terms; then, tak
ing her In his own buggy and driving
to dry land, he said:
"Sister Ca'line, you hez done los' all
de salvation what come ter you by de
fust baptism; so you must stop right
heah en be baptized over ergln."
"No, sub!" was the reply. "I ain't
gwlne in dat water no mo't Didn't dat
ole mule baptize me de seeon' time?"—
Atlanta Constitution.
There's a story of a farmer and his
son driving a load to market. Of the
team they were driving one was a steady
reliable old gray mare the other a frac
tious, balky black horse. On the way
the wagon was stalled and the black
horse sulked and refused to pull.
"What 11 we do father?" said the young
er." "Well" said the father, "I guess
we'll have to lay the gad on the old
gray.'' That homely compliment to
women: The gray mare's the better
horse" suggests how often when there's
an extra strain to be borne it is laid on
the woman's back. How often she
breaks down at last under the added
weight of some "last straw.'' Women
who are dragging along wearily through
life can gain real strength by the use of
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
It puts back in concentrated form the
strength making material whjcb work
ing women use up more rapidly than it
can l>e restored by Nature in tn» prdin
ary processes of nourishment and rest.
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are uni
versal favorites with women because
they are easy to take and thoroughly
effective in curing the consequences of
constipation.
How to Find Out.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty lour
hours: a sediment Or settling indicates an
unhealthy condition of the kidneys; if it
stains your linen it is evidence of kidney
trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or
pain in the kidneys and bladder are out
of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed,tliat Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-
Hoot, the great kidney remedy fulfills
every wish iu curing rheumatism, pain in
the back,kidneys, liver,bladder and every
part of the urinary passages. It corrects
inability to hold water anil scalding pain
in passing it, or bail effects following use
of liquor, wine or beer, anil overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being com
pelled togo often during the day and to
get up many tiinesduring the night. The
mild and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands
the highest for its wonderful cures of the
most distressing cases. If you need a
medicine you should have the best. At
druggists lifty cents or one dollar.
You'niay have a sample bottle and a
book that tells more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail, if you send your
address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
ton, N. Y. When writing be sure and
mention that you read this generous of
er in the MONTOUK AMERICAN.
ANNUAL CONVENTION.
Williamsport, Oct. 10.—The fifth an
nual convention of the State Federation
of Pennsylvania Women is on in this
city. All the sessions will be held at
the Park Hotel.
The first gathering was held Tuesday
evening, when the members of the Clio
Club, of this city, tendered a reception
to the officers of the federation, delegat
j es and other invited guests.
The function was chiefly a social
gathering, the delegates being brought
together to wear off the effects of their
day of traveling and take on something
of the spirit which the Clio ladies intend
shall premeate the convention. It is es
timated that almost two hundred dele
gates have already arrived here, and
the indications are the attendance will
be larger than ever before. This is bas
ed upon the statements of some of the
officers, who assert that the Federation
lof Clubs has increased greatly in num
bers since the last convention, when the
organization consisted of 112 clubs and
a membership of 12,000. The greater
i portion of the ground floor of the Park
I Hotel has been given up to the use of
the club women.

Tne readers of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there Is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
Its stages and that is Catarrh. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hail's Catarrh
Cure Is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood and mucous surface of the sys
tem, thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient strength
tiy building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing the work. The proprietors

that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of

The lint anil the Title.
i There is an amusing English definl
, tion of "gentleman." It Is "A man who
:' wears a siiU hat, and if he has no other
i j title Insists upon having 'Esq.' added to
l j his name when letters are addressed to
r him."
i The west end Londoner of social
- j pretensions accepts this definition in
- | practice. Summer and winter, in rain
i i or shine, he wears a high silk hat in
) the streets of London and carries it
, 1 into the drawing room when he pays
I an afternoon call. It is only when he
- takes a train for the provinces or for
» the continent that he ventures to use
more comfortable headgear.
lie also expects to have the distinc
tion of "esquire" when a letter is ad
t I dressed to him and is highly offended
t if he finds on the envelope the prefix
m "Mr." As a matter of fact the num
ber of English gentlemen who are le
, gaily entitled to the mediaeval honors
II of "esquire" is insignificant. It Is a
• self assumed title which signifies noth
s ing that is substantial in rank or priv
ilege.
In common use in London "esquire"
simply means that the person so ao
dressed does not choose to be assocl
! ated with tradesmen and ordinary
working people and that he Is a 'gen
' tleinan" who invariably wears a Bilk
hat.—Youth's Companion.

9 | Three men appeared before a judge
Jin Ilonan, China, and each laid claim
-j to the same woman as his wife. Not
. | one of them would retire in favor of
the other two, but each Insisted that
■ justice should be done to lilm. Finally
? the judge exclaimed, "Well, if you
three men cannot come to some agree
( ment nothing remains for me but to
Di'der that the woman shall be killed,
1! as there is no other way In which the
r j matter can be satisfactorily settled."
i j lie then called for a large cup of wine,
' ntul when it was brought he poured ln
t , to It some dark nowder and compelled
• | the woman to drink it. Excited as she
' ! was, the woman speedily began to feel
' j the effect of the strong liquor. She
| stammered when she tried to speak,
; and her flushed cheeks were an lndica
' ! tion to the observers that the poison
1 was working and that her end was
! near at hand.
P i This was the climax for which the
1 Judge had waited. When he saw that
t; the woman was apparently dying, be
called one of the three men who claim
• ! ed her as wife and bade him remove
her from the courtroom. This man,
" i however, showed no inclination to do
so, and the judge thereupon Insisted
1 that he renounce all rights to her. This
I he willingly did and so did the second
{ 1 man. Only one claimant was now left,
and he agreed to remove the woman
! and to care for her until she died. Sat
i isfied that he was her real husband,
i j the judge called him and said: "You
manner. Have no fear for your wife,
■ I since she is In no danger of death. The
• J liquor which she has drunk was ordi
" j nary wine, and the powder which I
" j poured into it was nothing but brown
j sugar."
i
• j Smart Alex,
' | A man being About to die summoned
! his four Sons to his side and said:
1 j "My sons, I will leave to John one-
I third of iny estate, to Alex one-fifth,
i to James one-half and to Thomas one
f | fourth, and thus you will all Share
[ Equally."
John and James and Thomas took
Paper and Pencil and began figuring,
but Alex took his Hat and started out
"Where are you going?" the other
- j Three asked. "Do you not Intend fig
s | uring out the Problem V"
j "Not much," said Alex. "I am Going
i for a Lawyer to break the Will."
