LUTIIEU C. SMITH, Superintendent. Wliat the Aniinntlscope Shows. From the Nantiooko News, September 19. The Niver Animatiscopo Company pre sented Its new and unrivalled entertain ment to a large and appreciative audi ence on Saturday evening. Many in teresting and thrilling life-motion scenes of the Spanish-American war were pro duced in picture form on canvas, lifo sizo. The cavalry charge of Roosevelt's Rough Riders near El Caney was exceed ingly lino. The full charge can be seen coming upward over the Cuban hills at a very rapid gallop until they come im mediately before the audience and then they pass in full sizo off the screen to ilie right. The famous dynamite gun Is shown In the. battlefields "while the cannons are booming on all sides, as it was operated by the Ohio volunteers at Abinita; the wonderful gun is loaded before the au dience aud discharged to the right in a manner that makes one trcmbo on ac count of its likeness to reality. The Seventy-first regiment of New York city is seon in parade and under a difficult drill; the American flag waves proudly over tho brave boys as they march along under martial tread; groat crowds of people aro soon on all sides witnessing the event. American marines aro seon to climb tho flag polo in front of tho Spanish fort at Cavite. near Manilla, and tear down tho bated Spanish ensign from its digni fied position and tho Stars and Stripes aro raised Instead. Tho scene of a bull light which took place at Sovillo, Spain, while the Spanish-Amoriean war was hottest, was presented. There wero many other scenes which show men struggling for their lives while tho American flag proudly floats over them on the smoky battlefield. All pictures are clear and distinct, being from the jerky, eye-straining motion peculiar to most picture machines. Between the pictures the audienco is entertained by Edison's very latest phonograph, which is verv loud and clear, being very distinctly heard in every part of the auditorium. The rec ords are appropriate and unexcelled. At tho Grand opera house Wednesday evening. Proceeds for the benefit of the English Baptist church. Card of Thank*. We kindly and sincerely thank the friends and neighbors who assisted us during tho sickness and death of our son, Patrick, and especially tho Good Wills Athletic Association for thoir floral offering. Mr. and Mrs. John Cannon and family. OASTOniA. Bears the Thß KM You Have Always Bought ADVANCING DEMOCRACY. SKIES ARE BRIGHT WITH SIGNS OF VICTORY IN OLD LUZURNE. Chairman Daich and His AnelMtanta Are WorUnj Hard for the County Candi dates and a Glorious Triumph Is Indi cated by the Report* Coining In. As the campaign advances it becomes tnoro apparent to the eye of thccaltnand intelligent observer, that Democracy in Luzerne is not only holding what it gained last year, hut is making steady inroads In the common enemy. At headquarters in this city, says the YVilko.-b.irre Afewedealcr, old campaigners assort that it brings hack recollections of the long-ago, when Democracy was tho ono great ruling party, to soe the hustle and bustle that is astir. Chair man Dasch and his assistants have no time for anything else than hard work, which they are doing with a will. Every report that conios In from tho several districts throughout tho big county brings only the most encouraging ac counts of tho situation. This makes it certain that there is to be a strong and a hot muster at tho final roundup on November 8, with the probability of seeing the old Democratic Hag waving in triumph over a complete and splendid victory. Mr. Davenport, tho attractive con gressional candidate, is winning friends every day. He is making a magnificont canvass and will bring to the polls every Democrat in tho county, and if this is done his success and that of tho whole ticket is sure. There is no brass band about this gentleman. He has no agents out with contributions from a big bar'l, working along the highways and byways and especially in the dark recesses of tho night. He Is not a millionaire and. therefore, must work alono upon his merits. But ho is a strong man, which is particularly revealed in tho fact that he has already installed in tho breast of his adversary tho most alarming appre hensions. He is going along at a steady gait now, but his friends predict that on the homestretch ho will show such speed as to make him come under the wire a sure winner. Mr. McGinty is putting up a brilliant fight and his friends are proud of him. He has been ceaselessly at work since the battle opened and there are no signs of liis tiring. Indeed this would bo im possible in tho face of tho encourage ment ho is meeting with everywhere. The same old friends who stood by him in two memorable contests, greet him with their old time fervor and tell him not to bother about them as they are to bo relied upon. Even down in tho lower end, where his opponent hails from, his name Is upon ovory Democratic lip. He is making the fight of his life with the odds a hundred to ono in his favor. The sweep of tho Shiffer movement is marvelous. All ovor the county men aro working for him as they never work ed before for any other candidate. And there is reason for this. Honest men know that his opponent, Lloyd, is mak ing a canvass on hypocritical grounds; that he has assumed the role of a politi cal saint to exalt himself. That with him, self is first aud principle last. Analyzing this man's claims to distinc tive honors as a reformer, they find that there is nothing on the record to sub stantiate them. In every contest ho has made to bring up tho idea that lie was the "taxpayers' friend," the county has been mulcted in large snins and the tax payers' burdens liavo been added to. People ail over the county are beginning to realize the gigantic political sham he is, and aro turning In eagor hasto toward Shiffer, the gallant and unexcep tionable Democratic nominee for con troller. And this fact settles Mr. Lloyd's chances. No ono doubts the ultimate fate of the Nanticoke Koslusko. He Is a man of destiny, and like his great countryman and renowned soldier, will come in at tho finish a magnificont winner. Mr. Gabriel is showing his strength every day. Voters are (locking to his standard constantly. He Is lighting like a tiger and when ho bows to his friends in answer to thoir glad greetings, from the recorder's chair on New Year's day, himself and Democracy will bo honored. With tho general victory, of course, the candidates for coroner and surveyor, both able men and true Democrats, will be swept along witli the tide, and the bosom of that tide today shimmers with tho bright promises of success, because over all its surface not a taint is seen or a tingo of defilement. There is more catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pro nounced it a local disease, and prescrib ed local remedies, and by constantly failing to care with local treatment, pro notiuced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitu tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, ni ami fact u red by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken in ternally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoonful. It nets directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the sys tem. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Bond for circulars and testimonials. Address. F. J.

The Betterly death benefit dispute, the circustances of which were explain ed in theso columns recently, was settled finally on Saturday, when the employes received their September pay. Half a day's wages was deducted from each em ploye, notwithstanding that the vote taken on the question last week was 108 to 00 against paying tho money. Three times the employes voted against pay ing this claim. Some of the men state they have sought legal opinions and say they have been advised to retain their pay checks until they leave tho com pany's employ. Tho matter has caused no small amount of ill feeling in and around the mines. Dr. H. M. Neale was called yesterday to Berwick, and was driven there b\ Liveryman O'Donnell, of Frccland. Prothonotary Paul Dasch spent yes yesterday witli friends here. William Challenger is spending a week with Scranlon friends. May Form a New Union. The quarterly meeting of delegates representing the temperance societies of tho Fourth district of the Scranton union was held yesterday at McAdoo. The question of forming a new union, embracing the societies of lower Lu zerne, Carbon, part of Schuylkill and towns in the Lehigh valley, formed tho principal subject of discussion. The question was discussed thoroughly by the delegates, and while many strenously advocated the now union tho majority of tho societies were not disposed to leave the Scranton union. The matter will be taken up again at the next meet ing, which will be held at Jcanesvillc on January 22. Wants Careless Miners Arrested. William Stein, mine inspector for tho First anthracite district, has requested the state bureau of mines and mining to prosecute Michael Mackinofski and Michael Garlot," two miners of Shenan doah, for causing the death of Stephon Sraoleskey, in the Ellangowan colliery last Wednesday, by alleged criminal carelessness. The accused men were driving a heading towards a chamber in which the victim was working when the last shot was fired to put the heading through; Smoleskey was buried under tons of rock and coal, and horribly mangled. It Is alleged that tho victim was not notified that the shot was to bo fired. Week's Engagement Ended. Tho Labadie Company ended Its week's engagement hero on Saturday evening by presenting "For Liberty" to a large house. The play was not given in the company's usual creditable manner. A "Yellow Kid" matinee the same after noon was also well attended. "East Lynne" on Friday evening drew a fair audienco. "Faust" on Thursday even ing was a record-breaker, every ono of the 500 seats in tho house being sold and 270 admissions were collected at tho gallery entrance. Tho company gave a good presentation of this very difficult piece, the electrical effects especially being excellent. Chefttnuta for Winter Use. A good plan for storing chestnuts for winter use is to place a small quanlty of salt in the bags with tho nuts. They will then become soft and sweet and any worms which happen to be among them will be driven out. Tho bags will be come covered with sweat caused by the salt, but this will not impair the quality of tho nuts in tho slightest degree. This plan is followed by many persons and is considered one of the best. Deeds Legally Acknowledged. The following deeds have been ac knowledged in court: Of Herman \V. Fackler, in Frooland, to Chas. O. Stroh for $39. Of 11. I*. Malloy, In Frceland, to Citi zens' bank, of Frceland, for $3,930. Of Dominick O'Donnell, In Froeland, to Edward Littleton for $075. Of William D. Kline, of Freoland, to William S. McLean and John M. Carr for S9OO. At 5.30 o'clock Sunday morning a man named Oscar Fonstormacher, of Free land, was admitted to the Minors' hospi tal sufforing from a gun shot wound in the foot received while preparing to go hunting. Tho wound is not dangerous and amputation will not be neccessary. —Speaker.

One of the largest political meetings held In tho Hazleton region for years took place on Saturday evening. The Democratic state candidates were pres ent and addressed the gathering, and Hazle hall never held a more enthu siastic body of men than was there assembled. The meeting was presided over by ox-State Chairman E. P. Kistior. and on the stage sat many prominent Democrats, every part of the lower end being fully represented. Hon. George A. Jenks, the candidate for governor, was the first speaker. His address was confined to state issues. It. was a masterly oration—calm and dispassionate, but filled from beginning ! to end with proofs of the terrible corrup tion that exists in the departments of state in Pennsylvania. He held the at tention of the audience steadily to the end, and was frequently applauded. William 11. Sowden, of Lehigh county, the candidate for lieutenant governor, followed Mr. Jenks. 11 is address was the most sensational of tho evening. The charges of dishonesty, common, thieving and robbery of public funds which he made against Quay and the tools of the boss were not of the general and vague order, but specific instances were named and tho proof furnished. His story of tho sale of postoffices in Lehigh county, which Quay miserably failed to refute, was repeated, and sup plemented with additional details of the scandal attached to the appointment of a postmaster at Hazleton. He told how Thouias A. Harris, of Lattimor, who was sent to Ilarrisburg to vote for Leis enring for governor, was given notice in tho presence of C. W. Wilde, William Schwartz and William Adams, at Ilar risburg, that lie (Harris) must vote for Quay's man Stone for governor, other wise Harris' friend, William Powell, would not be appointed postmaster at Hazleton. He told how Harris then betrayed Lelsonring at the command of Boss Quay and Congressman Morgan B. Williams, voting for Stone instead of for Leisen ring, and for this perfidy and treachery to the Republicans of tho Fourth dis trict Powell was given the postmaster ship. Numerous other similar cases were told of by the speaker. Captain DeLacey, of Scranton, candi date for secretary of internal affairs, who wears a congressional medal for bravery in the civil war, was next and gave an entertaining speech. Stanley W. Davenport, Joseph J. Mc- Ginty and Dr. Singer, county candi dates, also delivered addresses, and their reception was such as to fully convince them that lower Luzerne will do its duty on election day. BRIEF ITEMS. Next Friday evening tho Good Wills Athletic Association will hold its first ball. Tho event will take place at Yannes' opera house. The association is composed of a number of promising young men and their ball will bo well conducted. Mrs. Goorgina West Sharpn died on Friday at her home in Philadelphia. She was a widow of tho late William Sharpe, who was one of the firm which opened tho mines at Eekley iti 1854. Patrick McNeils, of Birvanton, was seriously hurt by a fall of clod in Drif ton mines on Saturday. No hones were broken, but ho was badly bruised about the body and received several cuts.

All persons interested in forestry should attend the lecture this evening at Cross Creek hall by Dr. J. T. Roth rock, state commissioner of forestry. Tho latest reports from Denver con cerning Michael-Capece are vory favor able, and strong hopes are now enter tained for his recovery.

He formerly lived in Lansford, where ho taught school when young, but resided in New York for tho past fifteen years. lie was aged about 48 years. More Mine Mule* to Go. The inside workings of the Shenan doah city colliery, operated by tho Philadelphia and Reading Company, are being inspected by representatives of tho Baldwin Locomotive Works, of Philadelphia, for the purpose of intro ducing compressed air engines to haul cars through the mines, supplanting the mule power now in use. The system is working successfully in Drifton mines, and the chango will bo made in the near futuro in tho Shenandoah colliery, and it is expected it will be tho means of saving many thousands of dollars and doing away with mule power. At this colliery there are sixty-live mules em ployed, and it takes a team of three mules to haul nine cars a trip, whereas, the now engines, it is claimed, can haul at least twenty cars in each trip, and do the work in half the time. Born With u Needle in III* Ley;* Mrs. Oscar Stanley, of Pittston, gave birth to a baby nine days ago.
