Hall's catarrh cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical Jrat.rnity. Catarrh being a constitu tional disease requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Care is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood nnd mucous surfaces of tho system, thereby destroying the foundation of (lie disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution nnd assisting nature in doing its work.

Founder'!* Duy AddreHf* Delivered by Ex , Governor Robert K. Pattltton—Canh Prize* of $l3O Dletrlbuted Among the Students—Well-Delivered Orations. Tho sixth annual closing exercises of 1 the Mining and Mcdbanical Institute of i tho Anthracite Coal Region of Pennsyl vania were held at the Grand opera house : on Friday evening. As in former years the stage was profusely decorated with the national colors aud potted plants, which gave an inviting appearance when the curtain rose. Hon. Georgo D. McCreary, of Phila delphia, ably tilled the position of chair man of the evening, lie has so often acted in this capacity iu behalf of tho institute that the exercises would not seem complete without his presence. On tho stage sat such students of the institute as were assigned to take part in the exercises, tho members of the faculty, the board of directors and the ; speaker of tho evening, ex-Governor Robert E. Pattiaon, of Philadelphia. Tho auditorium, balcony and gallery of the opera house were filled when St. Ann's band opened the exorcises with a ■ selection, and tho largo audience re mained seated to the conclusion and gave strict attention to the several speakers during the rendition of the program. DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES. The distribution of 8130 cash in prizes to those of the students who, in tho judg ment of the directors, distinguished themselves in their studies during the year just closed was made Principal William E. Martin. The fortunate students were as follows; Roger Dover, Freeland, 820. Patrick Green, Jeddo, 820. William Lesser, Jeddo, 810. Charles McElwee, Drifton, 810. Goorgo Dennenny, Freeland, 810.

SPEAKER OF TIIK EVENING. Ex-Governor Pattison was greeted with rounds of applause when lie rose to acknowledge the introduction given by the chairman. Ho was on the pro gram to deliver the Founder's Day ad dress, and, without intont to disparage In any way the work of the several talented gentlemen who previously have delivered tho addresses of tho evening, the words of Mr. Paltison in his refer ences to tho foundor, tho late Hon. Eckley B. Coxe, undoubtedly had a deoper significance and meaning than those of former speakers, for few men in Pennsylvania had a better oppor tunity to study the man, in one certain respect, than was given to Mr. Pattison. For this reason, in particular, Mr. Paulson's words in eulogizing the founder were recoived by the audience as coming from one who know him most intimately, not in tho lines of work iu which Mr. Coxe's reputation was great est, but from their associations in the legislative halls and the politics of our state, where man's nature invariably receivos its most severe test. AH HE KNEW MIL COXE. His ability, his genius, his philan thropy, have all been told of at institute exercises by men competent and quali fied to speak upon them; it remained for Mr. Pattison to tell of him as ho found him in those paths of life whore so many of our seeming great men have had their steps diverted from that which is just, honest and right. Mr. Pattison, at the outsot, acknowl edged himself as soniowhat embarrass ed by the thorough covering by tho students of all the lields of appropriate talk. However, he began his address with a few humorous anecdotes, which captivated the audience, and prepared them for the more serious words that followed. Ho feelingly referred to tho fact that had Mr. Coxe lived he would bo sixty years of age on tho 4th (yesterday) of this month. His acquaintance with the founder, he said, oxtended over a period of twenty years. He knew him as a patriotic citizen, whose course in lifo could not by any means or inducements be swerved from what he believed to be right. PATRIOTIC AND CONSCIENTIOUS. As a member of the legislature, the ex-governor stated, he knew him to bo one of tho most conscientious men who has ever represented tho people. His efforts as a law-maker were at all times directed to the public good. His incorruptibility and his deter mination to do what lie thought was his duty to his constituents, while in tho legislature, made the name of Senator Coxe a most respected one among his colleagues and among men in public positions. Politics, said the speaker, did not con trol Mr. Coxe in thoso matters which concerned tho public weal. He arose above partisanship and the FREELAND, PA., MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1899. smallness of it when legislating for tho people, and by his very earnestness imbued other men with that grander and broader citizenship which today makes his memory respected and revered by those who associated with him in public lifo. FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS. Mr. Coxe, the speaker continued, en deavored to give to the generation in which he livod the best thought of his brain and the fruit of his education, and before his death he laid at least one foundation of character for future generations by his founding of this insti tute. Tho ex-governor then traced tho history of our system of education back to the days of the landing of the May flower pilgrims, who came ashore with a spelling book in one hand and the bible in the other; then later came William Ponn, who shortly after his arrival opened the famous Philadelphia school known as tho Penn Charter School, which is still in existence, and whose seal of Incorporation, dated 1703, bears the motto, "Good instruction is better than riches." EMPIRE OF OPPORTUNITY. Education in America is so fully re cognized and encouraged by every stato that while other nations are known as the empire of tho mountains, empire of tho lands, empire of tho seas, etc., the United States lias earned for itself the title of tho empire of opportunity, for the greatest opportunities of life come through tiiat education which will mould character and make of men better men. That prosperity and advancement of civilization depend upon education was instanced by the territory our town anal surroundings occupy today; a century ago it was in tho hands of tho red man, who lackod tho necessary education to make use of the countless wealth of tho region. The speaker exhorted the young men of tho community to take advantage of their opportunities. He assured them that the circle of success is precisely the same in small tilings as in tlioso'of great est spheres of action—that tho man who when life's work is about over can look back and say he embraced his oppor tunities and did his work well, and that he was true to himself and true to his follow men, that man is a triumph, a success, let his field been ever so small. ORATIONS OF THE STUDENTS. The orations of tho students selected to roprosont the institute at the exer cises were up to the high standard at tained on previous similar occasions. The young men, several of whom ap peared on a stage for the first time, delivered their addresses with con fidence and assurance, and in a manner that convinced the audience that they are familiar witii the subjects which had been assigned them or selected by thorn. With "IMuck" as his subject, John Lindsay delivered the salutatory, follow ed by Charles Mietke on "Science, the Light of the Material World." An oration on "Expansion," by Walter Davis, was well received, and his views were appropriately followed by the subject, "The Future of America," by John Dushock. Jr. Patrick Green gave an interesting address on "The Importance of Theory to tho Minor," and Charlos Dover on "Small Things" showed the necessity of paying great attention to little matters of life. "Anti-Expansion" was the title of Georgo Denneny's oration and his re marks received much applause. Charles McElwee gave an interesting biograph ical sketch of the "Lifo of George Washington." William Lesser on "The Right Start for a Young Man" presented his opinions in an able manner. THE VALEDICTORY. Roger Dover delivered tho valedictory and won many congratulations on his success. His difficult assignment was handled in an original and entertaining style and gave pleasure to tho audience, faculty and directors. After reviewing the causes which lod to the founding of the Institute and the work it has so far accomplished, ho called attention to tho success which has crowned the efforts of its former pupils who have entered Lehigh and other leading universities. Ho appealed to tho community to con tinue its moral and financial support of the institute, and promised that the institution would well repay the Interest taken in it by tho people. Chairman McCreary closed the ex ercises with his usual good humor and advice. He also announced that the building fund has recoived a subscrip tion of 85,000, also that another sub scription of 81,000 for the furnishing of the building when erected has been given the institute. The names of these benefactors were not made public. BUILDING FUND COLLECTION. A collection for the building fund was taken up during the exercises and 8140.53 was realized. It is the intention of the directors to erect a homo for tho institute in Freeland us soon as the funds will permit. The exercises, as a whole, were prob ably the most successful yet held, and Continued ou First Column. FIGHT OF THE FACTIONS. Luzerne Republican* Donned War Faint on Saturduy Evening. Tho Republican primaries of Luzerne county were held on Saturday evening. Today the district conventions will be held to choose delegatus to the state convention, and all kinds of claims are being made by the various factious. Reports indicate that the county lias gone half for Quay and half for the anti-Quay people. In the First district Frank W. Whea ton, anti-Quay, will have no opposition and will doubtless be elected. In the Second district Representative E. A. Coray, anti-Quay, will very likely be made delegate without any contest. In the Third district tho Quay man, Samuel Salsburg, is expected to win. Ambrose Reese, of Parsons, in the Fifth, and Arnold Williams, in tho Sixth, both Quay men, have no opposi tion. In this, tho Fourth district, the most bitter iigiit of all took place, and it is impossible to predict this morning who will win out at tho convention to be held here this afternoon. The district is strongly for Quay, but for some reason tho Quayites split into Roderick and anti-Roderick wings and these fought one another with such desperation that it looks as if the anti- Quayit.es have captured enough polls to carry-off the dolegato. Mine Inspector Davies was put up by Jim Roderick, but the latter's bossism was resented by the friends of Charley Bomboy, of Hazleton. Both are Quay ites. A. W. Drake, of Lattimer, was also in tho contest, and it is claimed lie will bo chosen as state delegate this i a;'temoon, as tho Roderick and anti- Roderick gangs are so bitterly opposed to each other that they will not permit one another to win. David S. Watkins and George M. Davis, of Carbon county, and I). J. Mc- Carthy, of Freeland, had charge of the Roderick end of tho battle. Back of them were the coal corporations, who, for good reasons, are keeping on tin; right side of Mr. Roderick, chief of tin; state bureau of mining. In Freoland Bouiboy captured four districts, as follows: Second ward, Eli Crawford; Fourth, S. DePierro; South, Second district, W. J. Morgan; South, Third district, G. Bonomo. Davios won in tho First ward, A1 Bleckley dolegato, and in tho Third ward, West Drasher delegate. At some of the local polls the feoling ran high and the vote was very close. Many of the voters of the party, how ever, absolutely refused to take any part in the contest or to even vote for any of the factions. The better elements of the party aro thoroughly disgusted witii these factional quarrels. Tho convention will be held at the Cottage hall at 3 p. m. Trust Advances Price or Coal. The Coal trust will, on July 1, ad vance the price of eoal 25 cents a ton at points along the Atlantic coast. This decision was arrived at last Wednesday. Tho Temple Iron Company, which was organized to buy out the independent operators, has been very quietly at work, and has accomplished its task successfully. Most of the independents have come to terms, and tho trust is in a position to enforce its schedules more successfully than it did in July, 1898, when tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad upset tho entire coal trade by cutting prices at Chicago and other Western points. The Lackawanna, under President Truosdale, is in sympathy with the plan to maintain prices. Owing to the antaganlsm which arose when tho plans of the new Coal trust were published three months ago, every effort has since been made to keep men tion of the trust out of tho newspapers. The officials of the companies are still working upon tho formation of one gigantic coal corporation, on the lines announced in March, and private meet ings are being constantly held to per fect tho trust to avoid conflict with present and prospective anti-trust legis lation. Returned From General Synod. Rev. J. B. Kerscbner and Mr. and Mrs. A. Oswald arrived homo at 0.34 o'clock Friday cvoning from Tiffin, Ohio, where they attended the trionnial gen eral synod of the Reformed Church in tho United States. The synod was largely attended and many interesting matters connected with the church were ably discussed and acted on. The sessions of the Women's Missionary Society were also held at Tiffin at the same time. The business people of the city royally entertained the visiting delegates. The city has about 18,000 population. It is the county seat of Seneca county and has numerous hand some buildings, including a fine jail which is at present without an inmate. The Freeland people enjoyed their ride of 1,000 miles very much both ways, as tho scenery along the B. A O. is unsur passable at this time of the year. At St. John's Reformed church last evening Rev. Kersehnor delivered a very entertaining lecture-sermon on ! "The Echoes of the General Syuod." Death of Miss .Sarah Dever. At 4.30 o'clock on Friday morning Miss Sarah Dever died at the late resi dence of her aunt, Mrs. Sarah Gallagher, on West Main street. In Thursday's issue it was announced that she was not expected to live through the following night, and such was the case, death ap pearing before morning had dawned. The deceased took sick in Philadel phia last spring and on April 13 last was brought to her aunt's home here for treatment. On April 24 her aunt died suddenly and this had a depressing effect upon the young woman, and she never fully recovered from the blow. Miss Dever was aged 25 years and 1 month. She is survived by one sister, Miss Mary, who cared for her during her illness, also by two sisters, six brothers and her parents in Ireland. The funeral took place at 9.30 o'clock tliis morning. A requiem mass was read over tho remains at St. Ann's church, after which the interment was made in St. Ann's cemetery. Jersey Central Trouble. It is possible that there will bo a big strike on the Central Railroad of New .Jersey if Prosldent Maxwell adheres to the course which he has marked out. About a month ago blanks were sent to the employes, which, when properly filled out, would give a history of each man and an account of his duties. This was held to be a step in tho plan of wholesale discharges and a committee called upon President Maxwell and pro tested against the order. It is said that Mr. Maxwell refused to discuss the mat ter with tho committo and announced that iie would deal only with the men as individuals. Did** for Now Bridget*. County Controller Lloyd is advertising for bids for tho erection of an Iron bridge accross Green Mountain run, White Haven, for which 82,000 has been appropriated. Also for bids for the erection of stone arch bridges as follows: Across Loug run, Butler, 8450 appro priation. Across Pond creek, Foster, 8800 ap propriation. Across Black creek, Ilazlc, 81,200 ap propriation. Across Big Nescopeck creek, Sugar loaf, 81,350 appropriation. Death Wan Not Accidental. The suspicious and mysterious cir cumstances surrounding the death of Thomas Davis, whose body was found on the Lehigh Valley tracks at Sugar Notch, were sufficient to convince the coroner's jury that Davis met death by violence. Dr. E. Williams testified that Davis' wounds could not liave been caus ed by his being struck by a train. Tho jury returned a verdict that Davis came to his death by violence at tho hands of a person or persons unknown. His friends think lie was waylaid and robbed. A Dentil and a Wedding. Kate Hawk, aged 14 years, died at her parents' homo in Sandy Run Thurs day morning. Sho was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hawk. Deatli was due to a complication of diseases. The young girl was buried in Freeland comotery on Saturday afternoon. On Thursday afternoon a sister of the deceased. Miss Mary Hawk, was quietly married to George Hoodtnacker, of Free land, by Rev. W. W. Ilartman, of town. The marriage had been postponed twice before on account of illness. A Well-known Brewer Dead. Charles D. Kaier, a pioneer resident of Mahanoy City, died on Wednesday in Philadelphia, where he had been ill for some months past. Besides being the wealthiest individual In the town, lie was a great benefactor, and the most progressive business man.

For years he was vice president of the leading bank and prominently identified with the G. A. R. Robert Thompson, superintendent of the fire alarm system at West Pittston, was electrocuted Saturday afternoon, while fixing some wires on top of a high pole. The accidont was not discovered until people passing snielled the odor of burning flesh and several men wore looking for tho lire boforo tho body, half hidden by the trees, was seen.
