NEW YORK GETS
TOUCH OF WINTER
NEW YORK,Nov. 18.—The advance
agent of the cold that is causing the
west to shiver reached New Yotl. he
fore daylight and when the business
man and woman hurried to the ferry
boat or elevated train they were pierc
ed by an air twenty-one degrees cold
er than when they went home last
night.
The chill of the early morning is
only a warning,the sage of the weath
er office ways, for behind the first bit
ing wind is a consignment of snow
and ice and a colli blizzard. New
York is scheduled to have its first
tocuh of winter.
Chicago. Nov. 18.—Colder weather,
with a temperature only five degrtes
above zero, anil a high northward
wind,is the we ather forecast tor Chic
ago today. The cold wave in the
northwest is increasing in intt nsity
aud is inakiug its presence felt in all
parts of the country. With ice incrust
ing their sails and covering their sides
and decks, the last big fleet of lumber
nehooners due at Chicago this year
reached port Tuesday Seldom have
whips of the lumber fleet so felt the
effects of wind and weather. A num
ber of them tlew canvas so covered
with frozen spray that several hours
were speut by the crew iu stowing
nail. Half a dozen steamers came in
with free use of steam all tie 1 way t'>r
the purpose of clearing the decks.
Dispatches from the north and west
indicate widesperad cold waves in
those sections of the country. At St.
Paul the thermometer registered six
degrees above zero. The prediction is
made for zero weather there today.
At Calumet. Mich., fully a foot ot
snow has fallen in the last IS hours.
Washington, Nov. 18.—The weather
bureau this morning says:
"The advance over the Canadian
maritime provinces ot the storm aud
the Pacific has been followed by the
Atlantic coast districts by colder and
clearing weather. The high barometer
area from the British Northwest ter
ritory now covers the interior ot the
country east of the Rocky mountains,
and its attendant cold wave has reach
ed the interior of the Altantic and
Gulf States.
"During the next twenty-four hours
the cold wave will extend east and
south, causing freezing temptratures
on the South Atlantic and gulf coasts.
" Zero temperatures are reported this
morning in the northwest, with a
minimum of 26 degrees below zero at
Havre, Mont.
"Over the eastern and southeastern
districts fair and cold weather will
continue during the next two or three
days.
"On the Atlantic coast the winds
will diminish in force from the north
west; on the east gulf coast the winds
will be fresh northerly and on the
lower lakes fresh westerly.
"Storm warnings are displayed on
the gulf coasts and on the Atlantic
coast from New York to Key West."
Hidden Money Aocidcutly round.
The estate of William Webb of Al
media proves to be one bundled and
twenty dollars richer than supposed
owing to a singular discovery which
was made on Saturday last.
Webb, who died about two weeks
ago, was well known all along the
Pennsylvania canal. For many years
tie was captain of a steam canal boat
which regularly plied between Nanti
coke and points South. His odd look
ing barge is well remembered here, a
it appeared laboriously making its w ay
through town
During an administrator's sale on
ttie premises of the deceased, Saturday,
a couple of men in looking over some
articles in the cellar came across ;t
small store box, which they proceeded
to examine. It contained a lot of rags,
which on being removed revealed one
hundred dollars in gold and twenty
dollars in bills. The money was turn
ed over to the administrator, but no
one undertakes to explain why the
money was jilaced in the store box, as
Webb was a good business man and as
such made regular use of the banks
Madame Melba at Scranton.
Tack in your memory that you have
reserved Monday evening, November
23. for the new Armory, Scranton,Pa.
to hear the peerless Madame Melba in
grand concert. The voice of the fa
mous Australian has reached its ulor
ious perfection. Of the few artists
whom the world calls great, Melba :is
soredly ranks first. Her voice is an
absolutely perfect organ, puie, high,
of a velvet smoothness,with the clear,
even tone of a flute, yet warm and
human. Added to this there is abund
ant temperament, well under control,
dramatic instinct and an enunciation
that is a delight. She sings with j• r
feet repose. Ib-r method marks her a
tlie true artist, for her style of sing
ing is simplicity itself. Her high
tones are taken with the ease and gen
eral absence of theatrical effect that
are the marks of greatness In addi

Governor Pennypacker today to ,a-k
him to call an extra session of the
legislature for the purpose ot passing
legislation for the rebuilding of sev
eral bridges across the Delaware river
destroyed by the floods this sumticr.

VERY BAD JOKE LED
TO RUN ON A BANK
HEADING, Pa., Nov. is.—The run
on tPennsylvania Tru-t Company
continued today l>ut there was a di
iiiiiiuation iu the number of deposit
ors. Most of the callers were from the
country districts aud all were prompt
ly given their money. Several drove
home with SI,OOO to $2,000, and they
were warned to look out for robbers.
Many catiio to withdraw their de
losits hut when they saw the great
piles of cash,and the officials ready to
accommodate them, they left entirely
satisfied. It is believed that by tonior
row the excitement and the panic
among depositors will have entirely
spent itself.
President George Brooke says:"l
am told the panic was caused by the
fact that we closed our doors at noon
on Saturday. Why, that is just what
we have been doing eveiy Saturday for
the la-t t wo years."
It is said that a thoughtless joke
down town the other Saturday at 1 p.
ni. caused the trouble. Some one then
said: "Pennsylvania Trust Company
has closed its doors. " The person
spoken to fornot that all hanks are
closed on Saturday at noon,and he in
nocently related what lie had heard.
This caused other rumors and finally
many in the savings department of the
Pennsylvania Trust Company conclud
ed to draw out their money.
Y. M. 0. A. Notes.
The Cleveland Young Men's Clirist
iin Association is offering lis third
successive building for sale for -
000. Its first building purchased in
IS7I cost *>o,ooo. This was outgrown
an i replaced by a second in 1881,cost
iii n s»>(),ooo,aud thi> in turn gave place
in 18H1 to what was considered to be
one of the finest Association huildingß
in the countrv. erected at a cost of
$2.>0,000, and built to accommodate
•j,OOO members. This has incieased in
value so that the land is worth the
price asked —jfs2fi,lH)o. The Associa
tion is seeking to erect a building at
least twice as large to accommodate
its growiug work. Besides this central
building, there has grown up iu the
past fifteen years five other branches,
one being for boys, with a building
recently occupied and now having ~>oo
members.
The building which was built for 2, -
000 members, now has to accommodate
3,000. The gymnasium built lor 1,200
members now has 2.200 members, one
of the stores having been fitted up for
a business men's gymnasium club con
nected with the gymnasium. The hall
which was destroyed by tire a year
ago ha* been replaced by social rooms
and a cafe. Yet the Sunday afternoon
meetings, which take the form of a
"Sunday Club," fill other parts of the
buildiug. The best musical talent in
the city is employed, and leading
speakers discuss live themes which are
before young men. Following the
discussion which is "open to the
floor," fourteen different Bible
study clubs meet in different rooms,
under wide-awake leaders, who dis
cuss the application of thn principles
of the Bible to daily living. A lunch
is served afterwards, which the strang
er in the city finds congenial. Usual
ly two to four hundred men remain at
this lunch and ">OO men attend the
Bible study clubs. At the Broadway
Department is such a "Sunday Club"
with five classes; at the West Side
Boys' Department one witli six class
es; at the Junior Department one with
three, making ~'B such Bible classes.
At these buildings there are nearly
l,0t)0 men and boys 1:1 attendance
every Sunday afternoon. Besides this,
there is a Bible class held in a busi
ness college and led by a popular
young lawyer, which averages 200
men. The popular mid-week meeting
is called the "Arena Club," where
some :JiX) men discuss the problems of
every day life in the light of Bible
teaching, taking such themes as "Who
is the successful Man," "Does Relig
ion Help or Hinder in tlie Business
World," etc. Besides th> se, there are
forty noonday shop Bible classes held
in the large foundries and machine
shops, attended by nearly 3,000 men
each week. The majority of these men
arc not Christians, and all religious
beliefs arc represented, as well as
nearly a score of nationalities. The
Railroad Department conducts five
shop Bible classes each week. This
religious work is 111 charge of a Board
of leading laymen, two of whom are
treasurers of important trust com
panies, one l- the auditor and another
the manager of the United States
Steel Corporation, with others who
are of erjual business standing. They
are making this Association, which
reaches in its religious work four to
five thousand men a week, one of the
leading factors ill the religious life of
Cleveland. There are besides nearly
son men in the evening educational
clashes. In every department <>f the
Association similar energy is display
ed. The Association has used so
thoroughly and well this its third
building, in addition to its many
branches, that it- demand for anothci
buih'ing to accommodate at least fi,()00
men i- likely soon to be met.

PUZZLING CASE
IN SUNBURN
Considerable alarm was felt in Sun
liury shortly after noon Wednesday,
when Harry Duss. aged I i yearn, sou
of <'onductor William Boss, and Hoy
Fa-old, aged '2O yeaps, sou ot James
Kasold, were found lying uncousciou s
in the barn in the rear ot the Buss
residence. Hotli hoys were found in
one of tin- stalls, tin- i>u-s hoy being
dangerously near on •of tin- lioises.
When the boys were discovered help
was summoned and they were carried
into tlcir homes Physicians were
hastily summoned and upon their ar
rival it was found that the Huss boy
was m a very critical condition, hav
ing no pulse and but slight action of
the heart. After considerable effort
on the part of the physicians the hoy
111 it'll uudei medical treatment, hut
lite Wednesday afternoon was still in
such condition that he was unable to
explain the cause of his condition.
The Fasold boy was also unconscious
but his condition was not near as ser
um- as that of his companion. While
the physicians were working with the
Huss bov ho muttered .something about
being poisoned,hut nothing was found
to indicate such a condition which
makes the case more puzzling.
Both boys left their bonus about
seven o'clock and were working to
g-flier hauling coal with the same
wagon. About 11 :!)0 o'clock they
brought the team of horses to the
stable to feed them and had just plac
id them in their stalls when they both
fell over unconscious.
It bis been learned later that the
both hoys are rapidly recovering.

Over-Work Weakens
Your Kidneys.
Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
All the blood in your body passes through
your kidneys once every three minutes.
fThe kidneys are your
blood purifiers, they fil
ter out the waste or
impurities in the blood.
If they are sick or out
of order, they fail to do
their work.
Pains, achesandrheu
matism come from ex
cess of uric acid in the
blood, due to neglected
kidney trouble.
Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble, because the heart is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney
por.oned blood through veins and arteries.
It used to be considered that only urinary
ti rubles were to be traced to the kidneys,
but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin
ning in kidney trouble.
If you are sick you can make no mistake
by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild
arid the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is
soon realized. It stands the highest for its
wonderful cures of the most distressing cases

At the bidding ot' two bells Captain
Gringo let go the brake of the Spitfire
mid Knve the controller three notches. 1
3'lie tractable trolley car sped down an
nveuuo hall Street and half country
road and bore toward Yonkers, eight j
miles awaj In the darkness Cringe
had been tin' master of a coastwise
steamer until the vessel had grounded
while the junior officer was on the bridge :
and the captain was below stowing ,
away a ballast of sausage and buck
wheat cakes. The company never for
gave Cringe, and tlie other soulless cor
porations which had steamships re
fused to employ him. Therefore he j
was on the bow of car No. 38 of the
Huckleberry Street railway, a craft
which on account of its way of con- 1
•tantly blowing out Its fuse lie called
the Spitfire.
"See here, inotormnn," demanded a
man In a fur overcoat who abruptly
opened the front door, "can you go
faster?"
Grlnge craned Ills neck around the
ample form and looked Into the car.
Then lie wound the vehicle to a stand
still.
"Where is the conductor?" lie asked
"Didn't know you had 'em on the
Huckleberry," snapped out the fat pas
senger. "What the blazes do you mean
by stopping?"
"Wo will wait for the skipper Just
the same," Cringe replied. "You hod
no call to give ine the bells."
"You needn't get redheaded," re
joined the fat passenger. "You and I
have the car all to ourselves, and you
: might listen to reason. Do you see
those two lights down the road there?
I was tnore ahead of them than 1 am
now. Those lights belong to the red
dest automobile driven by the meanest
mun between here and Sing Sing. The
bet we had was that I could beat him
to Getty square in Yonkers. Cot along
all right until I crossed the dam, then
my machine went out of commission."
"I've hfid engine rooms wrecked in
my time," rejoined Cringe. "Sit down,
and when the conductor conies''
"The conductor!" exclaimed the fat
passenger, growing purplish In com
plexlon. "Man,l want this car to !
take me to Getty square ahead of that j
red devil. Fifty dollars if you do It, '
and here Is ten down. You look as
thcugh you might have some sporting
blood."
"Stow your breath 1" snapped
Gringo. "1 raced to Sandy Hook be
fore you were born."
The brake handle of the Spitfire
spun Into a disk of metal, and
n brazen linger rattled over the face
"BF.E HEBE, MOTOKMAN, <A.N VlM' UO FAST
EN?"
of the controller bus. Along the rails
tho Spitfire sang. An odor of gasoline
crept Into the nlr, and then there was
heard the measured chug, chug of a
Panhard. The automobile hove in si^bt
end gained slowly upon the car. Two
figures in the touneau body with de
risive laughter disturbed the placid
places of the Hronx.
"Congratulations on your machine,"
aald u goggled disfigured man who
was bending over a bundle of wheels
and levers. "We will wait an hour for
you at the hotel."
"Bay nothing, matey." growled the
motorruan. "Stand by to give a hand
with the brake If anything gets on
tho track the two of us might save a
killing."
Over wet rails the Spitfire sputtered
and buzzed, aided by profanity and
mind
"The red devil," said the fat passen
ger, "Is supposed to clip off sixty miles
an hour. I looked her over, and I was
sure that she couldn't make ten to save
her tires. What's your speed, cap
tain?"
"Never tried it with a patent log," re
joined Gringo. "Warn't no use, any-
Vay, with so many ports of call. Under
forced draft, though, we might make
fourteen knots or more. I'm curious
about it."
"Curious!" growled the fat passenger.
"Curious! Well, it's more than a mat
ter of curiosity with me Whoop her
up "
The Spitfire tossed its fender as if to
•cent the dews of night. Its shifty eye
•112 flame wandered over the Irregular
landscape. Strange persons saw that
whizzing <'ar and stood at places In tho
road making futile gestures and lift
ing their voices in unavailing cries.
Three Inspectors ran yelling from tha
company's barns Like a stone Hung
from tin* h.uid ol a titanic curler to il
limitable lloes spun the Spitfire on its
madcap course It droned and buzzed
and snapped and flashed The automo
bile chugged and grunted, heaved and
groaned The two <1 • . ils. one yellow,
one red, sped si<le by side, one over
polished rails ol' steel, ilie other on
wheel gnawed macadam.
"Win." screamed the fat passenger,
"and it's a hundred and a job for life!"
With clanging gon. and roar of rails,
with tooting horn and a roundelay of
escaping fumes, the two raeeil through
the night I rii' ks which were on the
track turned out with a smldennes
startling to behold. \ lardy wauou
was caiiglii at the tailboard ami tin
road was sit' \\ n tor a rod with crates
of indignant poultry lives, barns,
bandbox cottages and lonely flat
houses, a grave} ud : nd a I reie h res

asphalt a ijiiartei ol a mile from the

"Doing the best 1 can. matey," re
piled the captain. "Get down over the
rail, quick Haul In the collision mat
1 itrnl make It fast to ttie guard rail."
1 he fat passenger, at the risk of an
attack of apoplexy, drew up the light
fender ami -trapped it to the rail of
the dashboard of the bounding Spitfire
Something tall and dark and round
loomed up a foot to the right as the
car crossed the road on the bins
1 The red automobile, threatened either
, with collision with a trolley pole placed
specially In the middle of the road at
I that point to dash out the brains of
| the unobservlng or with the destruc
tion of its tires on the flanges of the
; rails of the suddenly raised track, came
I to a pinion destroying halt
Through a dimly lighted street spun
the Spitfire; then, with a sputter of its
; fuse, it stopped in the middle of Getty
square just as the laggard automobile
1 came puffing up the hill
"We've won!" shouted the fat pas-
I senger. "Here's your prize money, and
| the ex-commander of the Juggernaut,
| meaning you, goes to sea next month
lon my yacht Idlew hltn."
"Thanks for your kind offer," said
j Cringe, "for I've a suspicion that I've
j lost the command of the Spitfire."

Those Silver Dollars.
jHa> any one told you that 18'.i4 sil
ver dollars will be accepted by any
railroad in any part of the United
I States or Canada for a trip to St. Louis
j and return during the exposition next
summer? The statement is perfectly
' correct. In fact less than one-l'oui th
; that number ot dollars will give you a

return not only next year, but now or
any other time.
The efforts to establish a civil pen
sion list for government employes hav
ing proved unavailing, Representative
i Brownlow, of Tennessee,h is introduc
ed a bill providing that the pay of
every employe in the classified civil
set vice shall be increased 10 per cent,
for each live years of service, the total
amount of such increase in no case to
exceed 40 per cent, of the yearly sal
ary. There is a somewhat widesprtad
belief that, for people who work from
U in the morning until 4 in the after
noon, with 80 days annual leave with
pay and 30 days sick leave, as is the
case with employes in Washington,the
present salaries are considerably bet
ter than are the average wages of per
sons in other occupations in life.

horse that stepped in a hole with his

with a trail of props, and fell forward
and strained his shoulder blade. That
it swelled so fast that we con Id hardly
get the collar off. and in two hours his
