Up The PECKVILLE. Adjourned Meeting or the Boroueh Council Proceedings Relative to Revising the Electric Light Bond Ordinance. The borough council met in an adjourned session Tuesday evening for the purpose of passing finally upon the revised electric light $5,000 bond ordin anee, the original of which was found defective by the new borough attorney J. E. Watkins, who has drafted the new one, which was finally passed and ordered printed in the Olyphant Gazette and Scranton Republican.

Those present at the session were: President Reese, C. S. Hartman, W. S. Warner, John Parry, George Williams O.

A. Holford. The contract between the Scranton traction company and borough pertaining to the use of the former's poles was read. The secretary was instructed to write the borough attorney regarding the franchise especially that part relating to an out of town electric light company using their poles throughout the borough for which the borough never granted permission. Secretary Jones reported that W.

F. Mott desired a special vote for the electric lights which he is using and on motion of Mr. Williams. Mr. Mott will be notified that he as well as all others must comply with the regular vote or the lights will be cut off.

Mr. Hartman brought up the matter pertaining to the low water pressure now being furnished the borough by the Archibald Water company, and through the kindness of Mr. Broad of the fire company, presented photographic views of the stream during the progress of the fire at the school building of last Saturday, which was taken for the purpose of presenting to the council for their consideration. A long debate followed as to proper pressure and as the present contract will soon expire the matter was deferred for the present or until the fire com pany present a proposition which will it is thought remedy the defect. The secretary was instructed to issue an order in favor of Treasurer Wm.

Har per for that gentleman to draw the li cense money due the borough from the county treasurer. The electric light committee were instructed to employ a mechanic to repair and strengthen the south side of the electric light building which was reported in great danger of falling down. The secretary was also instructed to confer with the borough attorney regarding the penalty clause in the bicycle ordinance after which the meeting adjourned. PECKVILLE BUSINESS DIRECTORY. Dr.

Select Councilman Nealon is in receipt of the news of the death of hU brother, Patrick Nealon, a former resident of this city, who died at Redwood, Monday, after a brief illness with pneumonia.

Martin Gallagher of Pike street is also a surviving sister. A UNION STATION. The work of laying the switches at Seventh avenue station was begun yesterday, a large force of men being employed. The theory advanced a few days ago that Erie trains will arrive at and depart from the city station was confirmed by an interview with Superintendent C. R.

Manville yesterday. (Furthermore, Superintendent Manville stated that the union station will be abandoned. When asked whether or not the building would be used for other purposes Mr. Manville replied that it would not and added that It would probably be removed.

N.Y. i It is possible that some of our customers who painted their houses ten years ago may be thinking now that it i3 time to brush up their property, and this advertisement is to remind them that the Chilton Paint is made to day as it has always been made, of pure Linseed Oil and Turpentine Drier. It is measured by the United States standard gallon, and it is just what it purports to be, the best article of paint that can possibly bejmanufacturcd. Most of the dealers who handled it years ago continue its sale. They find that it is an article of merit and it brings them business in other lines.

Other paints may be bought cheaper, but the Chilton in the end is the cheapest paint of all. It cannot look streaked, because the tints are ground into the liquid paint. If you buy a gallon you get a gallon and not part of one. Tested by weight, measure, covering properties and durability, it stands at the head and is standard. Ziegler Schumacher, Scranton, Pa.

JERflYIS. The Four Cent Store Fire Causes SuS' plcion Other The fires are coming fast and furious in this section and in justice to the volunteer fire companies there should be seme steps taken towards paid fire departments. There is a great deal of hard work done by the firemen after all fires. Their work at the time of the fire is in evidence but the more slavish work of drying and reeling hose, clean ing care, does not come under the eyes of the people. This is done after the fires are out.

Firemen never mur mur or complain but the frequent calls they have been compelled to respond to during the past week beat all past records. Five alarms and four fires in five days is more than a paid fire department would care for. The fires that made up the list, which is not paralleled in the history of the borough, took place yesterday afternoon. If reports are true the fire yesterday was due to human agency. The 4 cent store was on fire Sunday morning, but the effective work of the firemen saved the building and most of the contents.

The store was closed since. The lady who was clerk in the store came to town yesterday and got the key and went into the store. In less than ten minutes after she left the building the place was a mass of flames. The fire company was soon out, but the building and goods were badly damaged before it could be subdued. The stock was insured for $1 ,400.

It was reported that the woman will be arrested and compelled to answer the charge of arson. She left town very quickly after the fire. The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist Episcopal church Monday evening elected the following officers: President, Mrs. J. J.

Henry Stevens of Mayfield swore out a warrant last night for the arrest of John Carden of Archbald. The boy alleges that he was riding on his bicycle on Main street in the evening when Mr. Carden, who was driving wilfully, ran him down, doing him bodily injury and badly damaging the wheel. The case will be heard by Justice of the Peace Swick. The Pirates defeated the East Side team yesterday by a score of 18 to 11.

They defeated the Mayfield bays Tuesday. Score 31 5. The barn destroyed by fire Tuesday night was owned by Mrs. Bridget Bur dish and not by Mr. Mulherin as stated yesterday.

The loss will fall heavily upon the old lady as it was not insured. There is but little doubt the building was tired, but by whom is a mystery. Mr. and Mrs. John T.

THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 11. 1899 KNIGHTS0F MALTA (Continued from page 3.) fence of many a beleaguered city. For centuries your order stood as the bulwark in the east against the Mohammedan aggression.

The world knows of their mighty deeds at Acre, in Cypress, in Rhodes, and finally In the Isla of St. Paul, from which, you derive your modern name Malta. What student of history does not feel his blood tingle when, he reads of the defence of the castle of St. Elmo by the Knights of Malta, where one of the greatest of Turkish rulers was baffled and beaten by a handful of Knightly heroes. "But those days of rapine and blood shed are of the past, the Crescent is waning, the pilgrims can come and go in the Holy City unmolested.

Cy pros and your beloved island belong to a Christian empire. The deeds of your ancient brethren have not been in vain, and as I understand it, you mod ern Knights glory in the practice of those principles which made them ram ous. A CHRISTIAN BROTHERHOOD. "You are followers of the man of Galilee, and you proclaim yourselves as such. The ethics of the sermon on the mount prevail with you.

You are Christian Brotherhood. The emblem of Christianity is displayed on every uni form. How refreshing in these latter days, those days of mawkish, senti mentalism, of scepticism, of doubt, to see so many men, old 'and young, but especially the young, declare their con victions. It reminds me of one of Watts' hymns that I had to (and loved) ts repeat when a boy. 'I am not ashamed to own my Lord, Nor to defend His cause; Maintain the glory of the cross, And honor His "Yes, wherever that sacred emblem has adorned your uniforms since your first organization under Depuy, and wherever that has been displayed it has always been the harbinger of bet ter things.

and truly can you sing: 'In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time. All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head "Grand Master, having a slight knowledge of the principles and aims of your order, we hail your advent among us with delight. For the first time in the history of your order you have floated the standard of a grand master in Scranton. We have, meta phorically. surrendered to your forces, Our drawbridge is down; the portcul lis is up, and you have possession.

May your sojourn in our hospitable city be pleasant, may your deliberations while here result rn great good, not only to your own order but to the many com munities you, represent. Again, I welcome you to the mod ern, up to date, progressive, hospitable city of Scranton." The response by Sir John jGowland, grand commander, was a brief but ef fective compliment paid to the mayor and citizens of Scranton for their hos pitable welcome. The city was re nowned for its progressive movements and all the visiting Knights had been, charmed with the wonderful resources of this truly electric centre. The Knights of iMalta would carry home with them most pleasant thoughts or the enthusiastic welcome they had re ceived. Sir E.

Samuel, the supreme grand commander, said that the first remark he heard in Scranton was: You re supreme commander and here for dis play; you will not be expected to talk." This occasion put him in mind of the lover who, when his best girl had sat four hours on his lap said, "Dear, are you tired?" "I was, dear, but now I am simply paralyzed. He was asked by the firemen of Scranton to extend their cordial invitation to all visiting Knights to visit their fair this evening free of cost, 'ins sneaker thanked the mayor and citi zens for their hospitality, and spoke of the growth of the order in Lackawanna county. There were now la.OOO in the supreme commandery in this state alone. GRAND RECORDER'S ADDRESS, Sir George H. Pierce, grand recorder, paid a warm tribute to the Lackawanna commanderies.

Anthracite meant warmth, light and power in the order; Eastern Star, reverence; St. Stephen, determination; Grant, the Christian soldier, and Washington, patriotism. In felicitous terms the progress of the order in Lackawanna was recounted, and the speaker concluded with a graceful compliment to the mayor and the people of Scranton. During the interludes the Schubert quartette sang, with their usual success, various selections, and Mr. B.

Stephens rendered "The Last Watch," giving as an encore "When Other Lips." The grand tourney was a brilliant success, and at its conclusion the fraternal hymn, "Blest be the Tie," was sung by all present. MOTES OF THE CONVENTION The war with Spain and the ravages of la grippe and other diseases checked the growth in many fields, and yet the net gain up to March 1 was 930, and 1,000 more have been added since that timer1 There is greater activity in the work of organization at the present time than for over a year. The present membership is over There are 111 commanderies, located at 79 places, in 32 counties, and having an average membership of almost 130. An interesting feature of the grand recorder's report is a compilation of the celebrations held on St. John's day, 1S0S, in honor of the 850th anniversary of the order.

He also presents a complete list of the Pennsylvania soldier knights who enlisted in the war with Spain, together with their commanderies, regiments and camps. Grand Recorder Pierce devoted the whole year exclusively to the work of the order in Pennsylvania, and spent a busy term. He handled over 18,000 pieces of mail; traveled over 8,300 miles; was absent from Philadelphia 66 days; con fluctcd 16 all night sessions for the reception of new commanderies and classes, and frequently participated in schools of instruction, public installations, reunions, visitations, organization meetings and socials. Grand Commander Sir John Gowland traveled many thousands of miles during the year, visiting nearly all of the important sections of the state, and participating in many receptions and celebrations. His mail was very large and received most careful and prompt attention.

Among the 86 deaths that occurred, six were grand officers, and two of them supreme officers. 1,318 past commanders are in good standing. There was paid out for relief $49,204.33. The paraphernalia is valued at $70,942.29. The assetB of the commanderies amount to $218,153.22.

The year has brought a substantial growth in numbers and finances, has witnessed an exceptionally fine rendition of the ritualistic work in many places, and is marked for the leasing of large and imposing halls, which have been transformed into Malta temples. It has been a year of activity, progress and success. An important feature of the convocation will be the election of supreme representatives, of whom ten are to be chosen to attend the supreme convocation, which is to be held in Philadelphia in October next. The programme for today will be as follows: 9 a. session of grand commandery in Anthracite hall.

8 p. Caravan Siesta "77," P. B. "77," will confer this elaborate degree at Anthracite hall. BOILEDPEAS.

A Recipe Whieh Every Comfort Lov ing Woman Wijl Appreciate. Two pious men, (so the old story runs) resolved to make a pUgrimage to the Holy Land. To prevernt their thoughts from wandering from the purpose in view, they agreed to make the pilgrimage with peas in their shoes. In due time they set out. but soon parted company as one of the pilgrims seemed to find the peas a small impediment to pedestrianism.

It was not so with the other. He plodded painfully along, and had only advanced half way on bis journey when he met his fellow pilgrim returning with palm and cockle shell, symbols of the genuineness of his trip. They halted to exchange greetings. "Tell me" said the sore footed and weary pilgrim, "tell me how you managed to get on so well with peas in your shoes." A sly smile spread over the other's face as he said in a whisper behind his hand "I boiled my peas!" BOIL YOUR PEAS. Why not? Everybody has some burden or other to carry, some trial or other to endure.some affliction to suffer.

Make the load as light as possible. Got all the comfort you can. Boil your peas! There's a special application of this principle to certain conditions in life which are often accepted as irremedi ble; as part of the primeval curse which fell on man through sin. This is notably so with respect to those forms of disease which are peculiar to women and affect the delicate and sensitive organs womanhood. These diseases are often the cause of pain, almost intolerable.

And yet with supreme courage the ailing woman bears the daily burden of household cares and fulfills all the obligations of her wifely and maternal duties. Her back aches. her side pains her, she has "bearing down pains," inflammation scorches her, ulcers feed on her, debilitating drains sap her vitality, but with a bravery never excelled by the men who marched from Moscow with she takes up the journey of life every day and staggers on under the Duraen. For the sake of argument let it be as sumed that the diseased condition is not absolutely curable in all women. Is there no alleviation for It? Here comes A SISTER PILGRIM down the way.

There are no rings un der her eyes, her back doesn ache, she walks with light elastic step as if the "primeval curse" had nothing to do with her. Let's stop her and ask her how she gets along so well with the pains and pangs of womanhood to endure. She lives at Larwood, Linn Oregon, and her name is Mrs. Lydia Craft. She says: "I was sick for a long time with female trouble but paid little attention to it until last winter; I miscarried and this left me in such a weakened condition.

grew very nervous and despondent. I did not want to see anybody; everything seem ed so strange as though I were in a strange land. I had such a disagreeable feeling in my head; it was not a headache but a drawing feeling and the top of my head was hot and painful. I had bearing down pains and my back hurt me all the time. I could not do any work at all and could not sleep.

I tried some patent medicine, but got no relief. I went to see the best doctor in Lebanon. He said I had inflammation of the lining membrane of the uterus. (He treated me for a while and I did not see much change. I wrote to Doctor Pierce and in due time received an en couraging lettjer, advising me to take his 'Favorite Prescription' and 'Golden Medical I did so and am ery glad to say they helped me stead ily.

I could see I was gaining. When wrote to you I weighed eighty seven pounds, I now weigh ninty nine. I can eat anything I want to, my appetite is good, I can work all day and not feel tired at night. I have no more bearing down pains unless I work too hard. 2Hy head does not trouble me any more at all and I feel better than I have for three years.

THOUSANDS OF WOMEN. This is only one case of thousands in which sick and falling women have dated a new existence from the day hen, like Mrs. Craft, they "wrote to Dr. Pierce." Dr. Pierce's treatment lays stress up on the study of the organization of THE INDIVIDUAL WOMAN to be treated, and it is doubtless to this careful study of the individual and the adaptation of treatment to the condi tion and organization of each woman treated, which have enabled Dr.

Pierce and his associate staff to achieve such marked success and cure where local doctors failed. The case of H. A. Alsbrook, of Austin, Lonoke is a case in point. She writes: "After five months of great suffering I write this for the benefit of other sufferers from the same affliction.

I doctored with our family physician without any good result, so my husband urged me to try Dr. Pierce's medicines which I did with wonderful results. I am completely cured. I took four bottles of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, four of his 'Golden Medical Discovery' and two vials of his 'Pleasant Pellets." I trust your success will increase, and I thank God for giving you wisdom and knowledge and guiding you in making these medicines." In these successes the skill must also be taken into account, not the skill of Dr.

Pierce alone, but the skill of each member of his staff of nearly a score of physicians associated with him. Every company in every regiment in the army has men who excel as marksmen. They can hit the bullseye every time they fire. But there's only one or two such men in a company. The rest fire, hit or miss.

They could not be depended on in emergency to shoot sure and straight. But suppose the commanding officer in an army should pick out all these men and make a separate regiment of them. Every man a sure shot. Every man absolutely to be counted on. No ordinary regiment could compete with these picked men for a minute.

MEN YOU CAN COUNT ON. That's just the plan Dr. Pierce has followed in gathering his staff. Its members are picked physicians, graduates of medical colleges, foreign and American. Each of these physicians has his specialty.

Each of them (goes as straight and as sure to the mark of disease as the rifleman does to the bullseye. They are physicians absolutely to be counted on and relied upon in extremity. This explanation, of course, robs Dr. Pierce's success of all attributes of the marvelous. It is just like any other success due to skill, study and ability.

In giving to women that great remedy. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, all the knowledge of diseases peculiar to women attained in long years of experience has been brought into play. Perhaps no greater voucher for Dr. Pierce's ability could be offered than this very medicine which women themselves have named "A GOD SEND TO WOMEN," and which cures every disease of the female organs except cancer and tumor.

In the cures of extra serious cases performed by this remedy, much, doubtless, is due to the extra and special hy genie and medical advice given free by Dr. Pierce to women consulting him by letter. Any sick or ailing woman can consult Dr. Pierce by letter absolutely free of charge and receive the benefit of his opinion and advice. Every letter received is regarded as a sacred confidence.

It is read in private, answered in private, and the reply sent in a pri vate envelope, closely sealed and bearing on it no printing or advertising matter whatever. There are many im itators of Dr. Pierce's methods. In some cases women are invited to "write to a woman" on the ground that "a woman best understands a woman's needs." It is often overlooked by those who read this offer that the woman" does not claim to be a physician. There is A LEGAL PENALTY for such a claim when it is falsely made.

So no claim is made in such advertisements to give a physician's ad vice, only a woman's. But the medi cal advice of a woman who is not a qualified physician is just as danger ous as the medical advice of a man who is not qualified. There is no choice between your butcher and your house maid, your grocer and your dressmaker. if it is a question of medical advice by unqualified people. It is well to ex amine such offers.

Such examination is invited by Dr. Pierce, well knowing that there is not in the United Statjs any proprietary medicine establish ment equipped as is the Invalids' Ho tel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo, N. and no physician, male or female who has had either the experience or success in the treatment of diseases of women, which Dr. Pierce has achieved. You can write therefore without fear as without fee.
