THE STORY OF FATHER JOHN'S An Interesting Bit of History Covering Half a Century. In 184S, Rev. Father John O'Brien, a noble man, came to Lowell, Mass., to do the Master's work in St. Patrick s Parish. He built schools, churches and hospitals for the sick, and lived a life devoted to his Church, and the spiritual and material well-being of his people — which, in his spiritual and charitable nature and liberality of mind, included | all mankind. Besides his duties of Church and ad- ' ministration, he was ever visiting the | alliicted, cheering and encouragiirg the unfortunate. No matter what the weather in winter's storm or summer's heat, Father John, as ho was fondly known to his people, made his daily calls. His cares and burdens greatly increased, and in 1854 his duties began to wear him down. He was attacked with a serious cold which, developing into a stubborn cough and allliction of the lungs, caused the greatest alarm for the health of the beloved clergyman. Medical skill seemed unable to stay the progress of the disease. Finally an Eminent Specialist was consulted. The Doctor, who had been called be cause of his high standing and emi nence in his profession, gave Father John a prescription to cure the cold and remove the lung trouble, as well as to build up and strengthen the body. The clergyman began to improve at once, and the cough soon disappeared. He continued to take the medicine, and it corrected his digestion, its food ele ments nourished his whole system, inade new tissue and gave vital power to the blood and nerves. His people rejoiced when he declared that ho had been made as well and strong as ever: and his wonderful recovery was the one thing talked of, for he was loved and admired by all. regardless of race, creed or class. Father John recommended the medi cine to his parishioners and friends, and thousands were made well and strong by taking it. In getting this prescrip tion they always called for ."Father John's Medicine," and so it was named by the people, and advertised, all with the approval and sanction of Reverend Father O'Brien, because he knew of its merit and desired that all who were ailing might, benefit by its power to cure. This old-fashioned wholesome reme dy is unequalled as a body builder and tonic. It restores health and strength to all run down systems. Its gentle laxative effect strengthens the stomach and corrects the digestion. It drives out all impurities. It is a food medicine and contains only pure nourishment. It is the best medicine ever prescribed for consumption It is not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the Eminent Specialist who was consulted when the case of the late Reverend Father O'Brien did not i yield to the customary treatment. It is 1 free from opium, morphine, cocaine or poisonous drugs in any form which are i found in the majority of patent medi cines: it contains no alcohol or other stimulants. While it is not a "cough syrup" or "balsam" nothing equals this pre scription for coughs, colds, ami all throat and lung troubles. It has a ' most soothing and healing effect, and at th same time builds up the bodv When in Need of Printing Try the Tribune Office and makes strength. This} power *to make strength at the same time it cures the disease is seldom found in any medicine prescribed for colds, bronchitis, asthma and* similar ailments. It prevents pneumonia and consumption and all diseases that waste away the body. The faith of the people in this val uable prescription grew because of the permanent character of Its cures, a faith that was increased from the fact that many physicians prescribed it for their patients. It is indorsed by Hospitals, and by thousands who have used it, as the following impressive indorsements will show: "We are pleased to indorse Father John's Medicine, knowing of its Merit and History."

PA..FEBRUARY 23. 1903 ROUND THE REGION. John Walter Wilde, of llazleton, has won 'lie cadetship appointment to West Point military academy. There were eleven in the class, but Wilde stood the best examination and will be nanc d by Congressman Palmer. This is the llrst time a lower end boy has been appoint ed to a cadetship. Because a number of merchants of Wilkesbarre decided to keep open today, ; Washington's Birthday, they have been condemned by the Central Labor Union, : and the Machinists' Uuion, and both have asked their friends to refuse to patronize such merchants. The Wallace hotel, in Kingston town ship, was burned to the ground Saturday j morning. The flames spread so quickly that when the inmates were awakened their exit by the stairways was cut off. Firemen took them out of the windows on ladders. Dr. J. C. Thompson died at his home at Seybertsvillo Saturday morning from consumption, aged about (To years. Be sides his wife he is survived by (ive children. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at Seybertsvillo. Theory of (lie Aurora. The latest theory, and a/ very ingen ious one, writes Frank Wilbert Stokes of "The Aurora Borealis" iu the Cen tury, is that of Unterweger, who sup poses that cosmic ether, which Alls the celestial spheres, when met by the earth's movement is compressed or condensed in front of the earth in the direction of its movement and dilated or rarefied, 011 the contrary, behind It. This cosmic ether is more condensed before the earth than that which is borne along in the whirl of the world at from thirty-three to forty-four miles per second and is more rarefied behind. The result is that one half of the earth, or the northern hemisphere, will be negatively electrified and the southern half positively electrified with the space regions which tliey are leaving. Only the magic of the spectroscope will probably push aside the curtains of this grand mystery and reveal the truth. Short Clot hen. There is danger of being too late in putting a restless baby into short | clothes, but the time for this operation varies much with the season and with | the child. A large, fat baby must have his clothes shortened earlier. lie can not wear them long after lie is four I months old, and a delicate, puny babe must wear them until the weather is i warm enough to make the change without danger. Six months is an av i eruge age. It must not be forgot, how- j I ever, that in six months an infant al | most doubles in size, and in making Ids first clothes this must be allowed for. Long clothes at any age are uow j a days only just long enough to thor l oughiy protect the feet and legs. They do not sweep to the floor even when babies are on dress parade. What this sensible change of custom means to the little one is past calculation. Many a child lias been dragged out of existence by tlie long robes English fashion in sisted upon. Hume For Working Girl*. Recently there was opened in Boston by a corporation of benevolent persons a nonsectarinn homo for working girls. The only dividend the home is expected to pay to the stockholders is the com fortable fooling of a good work well accomplished. Whatever surplus the snntll rates charged may cause to ac cumulate will be used in adding to the comforts of the home. Already for the payment of $3.50 a week a girl may get room, board, washing, light, heat, use of gymnasium, library and dance hall services of a pliysician and free ad mis slon to a course of entertainments giv en by the institution.

WASHINGTON LETTER [Special Correspondence.] A request has just been received by : the civil service commission from the Smithsonian. institution for a certified i snake catcher, and examinations will shortly be held by the former named governmental adjunct to tost the abil ity of candidates for the place. The pay is not excessive, being SOOO per annum, but the good work that the in cumbent will do in the interest of sci ence is scarcely calculable. According to the requirements of the institution the successful applicant must be well versed in herpetology in all its branches. Ho must have a familiar acquaintance with land, marine and amphibious j batrachians and be able not only to i catch, but classify, them and place their remains on exhibition in the sev eral glass cases in the display rooms of the museum. It is the special desire of the institu tion to secure a complete collection of the oviparous reptiles of the United States, and a certificate will be issued to the catcher by the Society For the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals per mitting him to slay tlieni as lie sees lit and most safe to Ids own interests. Ho will also bo supplied with the latest devised appliances for the successful pursuit of Ids avocation, and nets and chloroform will occupy a large space in the paraphernalia. White HOUMC Costs More Now. Colonel Theodore Bingliam, superin tendent of public buildings and grounds in Washington, in lps report to con gress asks for an appropriation of $110,204 for the White House for the coming year against $35,000 for the present year. The report says: "The recent changes in the White House have resulted in a building far more expensive to maintain than for merly. The character of the new fit tings and furnishings is such that re palrs and replacing will lie more ex pensive than before, and it will be more expensive to replace specially designed silver doorknobs and es cutcheons, silver and gilt hinges, etc. Ilnrdwood floors and tiling will require extra labor to keep in order. More help will be needed in the laundry owing to the large family which oc cupies the White House and the large amount of entertaining done." A Relic of Warlinrtoii Manor llon*e. Dr. J. Dudley Morgan of Washington lias quite recently acquired possession of a magnificent knocker which at one time graced the front door of the old Warburton manor house, situated not far from Fort Washington, the seat of the Digges family, one of the most dis tinguished and aristocratic houses in Maryland. The object in question is altogether different from the general run of old fashioned knockers, an arti cle of house equipment which many of the present generation doubtless never saw and of the use of which they are ignorant. It is made of brass from one of the British cannons captured in the war of 1812 and is beautifully cast, chased and engraved in the form of trefoils and scrolls, artistic and har monious as a whole. Will Have Floating llatli. Washington is to have its first float ing batli tills coming summer. Here tofore the public bathing beach has filled the public want, but now that the bathing beach is no more it was the special effort of Commissioner West before the house committee on the Dis trict to have provision made for a pub lic bath where the populace at largo could enjoy the pleasures of a swim in the summer months. As the District bill passed the house it carried an ap propriation for $5,000, which will be used by the commissioners for the pur pose of giving the city a substitute for the old bathing beach in a modified form of the Boston style of public bath. To Aid Prohibition Enforcement. The judiciary committee of the house has favorably reported a bill to meet the conditions brought about by the original package decision of the su preme court, which decision was in ef fect that the states in the exercise of their public powers could not interfere with the introduction of liquors iu original packages. The decision pre vented the enforcement of prohibitory laws enacted by several states. The bill seeks to correct this by subjecting intoxicating liquors imported from one state into another to the jurisdiction of the laws of the state into which they arc imported. N'ofliiuK to Sny. The president gave out an order last fall urging heads of departments and bureaus to curtail their reports, but with few exceptions the result of the order was not discernible. Assistant Secretary Darling of the navy depart ment took tlie order literally. lie made no report at all. "The chiefs of bureaus have written in detail everything that I know and more, too." lie said, "if I made a re port it would he a rehash of their re ports. So 1 have nothing to say." Coal Output. The chief of the division of minpral resources in the geological survey calls attention to the fact that the coal out put for the United States for the cal endar year 1902, anthracite and bitu minous, was only 5 per cent less than normal, and yet this slight decrease has produced such a commotion that in some instances the famine lias been most severe in the bituminous belt.

Governor of MnNNnchunettN Propose* to Employ State Prisoners. This week in news and editorial col umns we have explained Governor Kates' plan for employing convicts to make desert lands and waste places Into beautiful green spots, where birds will come and flowers will grow and the whole state will reap some advan tage. It is worth notice how all over the state there has been a sweeping, unani mous indorsement of Governor Kates' position in this matter. Everybody who has had anything to say about it is en thusiastic in Its favor. We are free to say that we had an idea that labor unions might oppose the plan, but there has not been one word of fight from them. From Springfield to the Cape everybody says It would be a good idea and that the state should fol low up Governor Bates' suggestions this year. The fact is of course that people are coining to learn the grim, horrible facts about prison life. They know that to keep prisoners idle is to send them in droves to the madhouse sooner or later. They know also that the power of the labor unions keeps the convicts from having the common, ordinary kinds of work at which the convicts may be self supporting. So Governor Bates In pro posing that the men should put In their time at making waste land tremendous ly valuable has struck the popular sym pathy at once. There has been some idea that the people of the Cape would fight this move. We are glad to say that this Is not so. The people on the Cape know that only small gangs of men are to ho kept at work in any one district, and that there will l>e no more danger there than there is in Oharlestown today.— Boston Advertiser. CompnlNory Arbitration. However willingly we may concede that compulsory arbitration is prefera ble to repeated coal famines or other famines Involving any of the necessa ries of life, we believe that public opin ion in this country Is not yet quite ready to submit disputes between em ployers and their employees ovei wages to courts of arbitration. That means of settling disputes will be adopted reluctantly if at nil and only as a last resort. The conciliatory meth ods urged by the National Civic feder ation have been surprisingly success ful. showing that in many cases it is only necessary In Arder to secure au amicable settlement to bring the par ties to the dispute together. In iinpor* taut strikes where efforts at concilia tion have failed the natural course would seem to he the appointment of a commission of inquiry to lay the facts before the public and recommend a ba sis of settlement. If either employers or trades unions should refuse to he governed by the findings of such com missions it may become necessary in exceptional instances to resort to more drastic methods for maintaining Indus trial peace.—New York Mail and Ex press. I'nloii Label 11111 let 111. President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor has in formed the various organizations that the union lul>el bulletin, which will give a reproduction of all the union la bels of the different affiliated national and international organizations which have been indorsed by the American Federation of Labor up to Jan. 1, 1003, is about completed. A copy of this bulletin, It is stated, will be sent to all affiliated labor organizations to he pre served for reference. It will contain the reproduction of forty-three labels and three cards, recognized by organ ized labor, and also a list of the twen ty-four crafts and callings using the la bel of the American Federation of La bor. Workmen In Germany. With reference to Chancellor von Billow's remarks in the reichstag on the kaiser's social policy the Berlin cor respondent of the London Times says the condition of the German working classes does not compare favorably with that of the English and American workmen, who would not change places with the Germans for the sake of the small old age pension and state aid in the case of sickness. The position of the women, he says, is miserably inferior to that of English and American workingwomen and the hours of work of English people a whole age ahead of those of their con tinental brethren. Miner*' Finance*. Secretary Wilson of the United Mine Workers, in his report read at the re cent convention in Indianapolis, said that the total 1 amount donated for the anthracite strike by the different branches of the organization was $258,- 343.1)4. The totail amount received from the special anthracite assessment was $1,067,026.34, making a total of $2,2i25,- 370.28 from the members of the United Mine Workers. To this amount must he added $410,954.1-4 donated by the trades unions and the public, making a grand total of $2,045,324.42. The organization lias a balance on hand of $1,027,120.20.
