A Difference In the Murnln,.
I Have yon noticed how different per
sons look before making their toilet in
the morning, and do you realize that the
J detraction is chiefly on account of the
hair? A well-kept head of hair adds
| more to the attractiveness of a person
j than any other feature. Therefore your
toilet is incomplete without "Luxura."
It not only increases the growth of hair,
but makes it animated and bright, and,
thoroughly cleanses the scalp of dand
ruff and all mtcrobic diseases. Of the
many hair and scalp preparations now
on the market, "Luxura" stands with
out a rival. It Is the result of twenty
live years'study of the ablest scientist
on scalp diseases. Write today for a

DIED IN THE
PHILIPPINES
Thomas Welsh a Victim
of Typhoid Fever.
Another Freeland Boy's Life
Sacrificed for His Coun
try's Sake—News Receiv
ed Yesterday.
.Tamos Welsh, of tho Third ward, re
ceived a letter yesterday announcing
the death of his son, Thomas Welsh, in
the Philippines, on December 10 last.
The young man was aged 21 years and
was serving as a private in Company 11,
Nineteenth infantry. enlisted at
Hazleton in May, 1890, and his late
letters to his pareWts showed him to be
confident of returning home safely next
summer.
The announcement of the death came
from Captain Thomas G. Hanson, of
Company U, who states that he died
from typhoid fever in tho United States
military hospital in Cebu. The remains
were buried next day in Cebu cemetery
with full military honors.
During his short service the young
man's regiment participated in many
battles against the natives, but these
dangers he escaped, only to fall a victim
to tho fever which has taken the life of
many other young Americans. The
Welsh family is grief-stricken and much
sympathy will be expressed for them.
An effort will bo made to have the re
mains brought to Freeland.
In December the Tribune published
an account of the death in the Philip
pines of a soldier by the name of the
deceased. The Manila dispatches stated
he was a member of Company C, Seven
teenth infantry. It is quite probable
that, the death was that of the Freeland
volunteer, and that an error was made
in giving his company and regimental
number.
This death makes three young men
of this vicinity whoso lives have been
sacrificed for their country since the
Spanish troubles began. The first was
John W. Jones, of Upper Lehigh, who
was killed at San Juan, Cuba, on July 2,
1898. Tho second was Patrick Boyle,
of Eckley, who. fell in March, 1898, in
the Philippines.
Freeland has still twelve of Jts boys
on the army rolls—seven in the infantry,
three in the artillery and two in the
cavalry. The terms of enlistment of
several will expire next summer.

remedy that gives Immediate results.

Death of William Jenkins.
Shortly after 8 o'clock on Wednesday
evening William Jenkins, a well known
and esteemed resident of Freeland, died
at his home on the corner of Centre and
Luzerne streets. For some time past
the deceased had been in poor health,
but few of his friends knew that his
condition was dangerous.
Mr. Jenkins was a native of Llandilo,
Carmarthenshire, South Wales, and
was born July 9, 1842. Thirty-eight
years ago he came to America. For
some years be resided at Eekley and
Drifton, and later came to Freeland.
Ho bad many friends and acquaint
ances throughout the region.
He is survived by a wife and the fol
lowing daughters and son: Mrs.
Thomas Richards, Mrs. August Stitt
matter, Mrs. Richard Scott, Misses
Elizabeth and Edith, and Robert Jen
kins.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock and will be in
charge of Loyal Castle, Knights of tho
Mystic Chain. Services will be con
ducted at tho residence by Rev. F. Mar
shall, and the iptermont will be made in
Freeland cemetery.
One of the largest funerals ever ac
corded a Freeland young man was that
of Patrick Gallagher, which took place
yesterday morning. Notwithstanding
the cold weather, hundreds of people
attended and followed the remains from
his late home on Adams street to St.
Ann's church, where a requiem mass
was read. The United Mine Workers
and the Good Wills Club attended in a
body.
At noon today the funeral of the late
Rev. .John Ireland took place at Eckley
and proceeded via carriages to Hazleton,
where the remains were interred in Vine
street cemetery. Services were conduct
ed by Rev. J. P. Buxton, of Drifton, and
Rev. F. Marshall, of Freeland, and
many friends of the deceased were
present.
The Birkbeck Estate.
Mrs. Mary Birkbeck, widow of the
late Joseph Birkbeck, yesterday filed a
statement with the register of wills giv
ing notice that she proposes to begin
proceedings to set aside the ante-nuptial
agreement and claim against the will
of the deceased such portion of the es
tate as she would be entitled to if the
deceased had died Inestate.
The estate involved amounts to about
•300,000, consisting principally of stocks
and bonds and other personal property
and if the proceedings entered by Mrs.
Birkbeck are sustained by the court she
will receive about sr>o,ooo more than she
weuld receive by accepting the terms of
the will.
Previous to her marriage Mrs. Birk
beck entered into an agreement with
her husband that she was to take in
his estate only what he would leave her
by will. After Mr. Birkbeck's death
the contents of his will wero learned
and it was found that he gave to his
wife 3100,000 absolutely and the resi
dence, the latter being in dispute as
to whether he intended to give it to her
or only a life interest.
Arrested on Another Charge.
Tb charge of murder against
Thomas Boyle, of Highland, having
shown signs of being unable to bo pro
ven, a warrant was sworn out a few
days ago by Anthony Brezfnalcl, a
brother of the man who was shot here
on December 15, in which Boyle Is ac
cused of voluntary manslaughter. The
warrant was served on Wednesday, but
Boyle was immediately released upon
bail to tho amount of 81,000 being fur
nished by Condy O. Boyle.
