A brilliant social event Wednesday evening was the marriage of Miss Jlary Elizabeth Watt, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Edwin. Watt, to Dr. James Jasper Thompson.

The event was one which had for weeks kept society in a pleasurable state of excitement and anticipation. There were many guests from out of town. At noon the bridal party were entertained at luncheon by Mr. and Mrs. W.

G. Scurry. The marriage occurred at the First Methodist church. The decorations of the church were in the latest style and of the most apprupriate character. Music was furnished by the Mozart orchestra.

The long deferred sidewalk at the east end, from the canal bridge to connect with the walk at Conkling's tenement house, was again talked over.

Councilman Reiffer reported an interview with H. J. Atkinson, in which he stated Mr. Atkinson still insists on his former proposition: that the borough lay and maintain the walk if the privilege be given to lay it on land of the Atkinson estate. Councilman Mandeville was instructed to inform Mr.

Atkinson that the borough would lay the walk if the estate would maintain it. The following bills were presented and ordered paid: Work on streets for tho month of May, .7 Hawley Electric Light company, street service for May, Sheridan Sullivan, stone for crosswalks, IfN.lO; Quinn Bros, hardware, One year ago the Wallaupaupack Water company entered in contract with the borough to have completed by July 1, IS! a fire plug water system, and filed a bond in the sum of $1,000 for its faithful fulfillment of the contract. The bond was purchased from the Fidelity and Deposit company of Maryland The time for completing the contract having expired within a few weeks and no work on the contract having yet been begun, the secretary was asked to instruct the council's attorney to notify the Fidelity company that the bond was forfeited, and they would be held responsible for the amount. It was thought advisable to employ special police service on holidays and Burgess Colgate was authorized to secure Constable Distler for special duty at $2 per day on those days. A proposition from the Odd Follows to furnish hall and truck room In their new building, for the fire company was entertained.

President Hensel named a committee to ascertain the terms and privileges and report at the next meeting. At a meeting of the school board Mon day evening. Interest on bonds, sundry bills and teachers and janitor's wages were ordered paid. A resolution was passed by the board granting a request for a state normal school diploma for Miss Ora Rollison. Reorganization of the board resulted in re electing all the I old officers for the ensuing year.

A special meeting will be held next Monday evening, when the next school term will be determined and the teacher chosen. Children's Day services will be held by the Presbyterian Sunday school next Sunday, and by the Baptist and Methodists the Sunday following. Preparations are being made by the Baptist society to hold a fair and festival in Odd Fellows' hall on July Fourth. Thirty five of our Rose Rebekah ladies, I. O.

Mrs. William. Hapeman is seriously ill with little hope for her recovery. The home of William Simmons and wife has been brightened by the advent of a little son. Mrs.

Kipp and daughter Emma were Scranton visitors a few days this week. TIPS OM HICCOUGHS Hiccough or singultus (the medical term) is interrupted inspiration produced by sudden and spasmodic diaphragm in closure of the glottis in tho midst of inspiration." Singultus, like all Gaul, is divided into three parts. All hiccoughs may look aliko to the uninitiated, but to tho learned they group themselves under tho heads of irritative, specific and neurotic. They all come from disturbance of the nerves of tho diaphragm, but that disturbance must bo referred to some primary cause. Irritative hiccoughs may be caused by swallowing very hot substances or by any gastric or intestinal disorder.

Tho 4 o'clock in tho morning hiccoughs aro an instance of the effects of hot stuff, and hiccoughs following euting can be classed as irritative and set down to digestive derangement. Specific cases are the result of some constitutional disorder, such as gout, diabetes or Bright 's disease, and neurotic hiccoughs have their primary causes in tho nerve system, often accompanying a nerve shock, hysteria or epilepsy. Of the throe varieties the irritative hiccough yields most readily to treatment, and tho neurotic is the most obstinate. Almost all cases of persistent hiccoughs are neurotic, and nervous hiccough has even been known to become epidemic. The number of remedies for hiccoughs is legion, and the medical profession hasn't a monopoly of them.

An obstinate case of hiccoughs in the family must bo nearly as exciting as a flro, for as soon as the disease assumes a serious character the newspapers notice it and comments upon it go out through tho country. Then letters and telegrams begin to pour in upon tho victim. In every out of the way corner of the country is somo one who has a sure cure for hiccoughs and is charitable enough to want to relieve tho sufferer. During a recent serious caso of hiccoughs near New York hundreds of suggestions were received from unknown people, and the list of prescriptions was intensely funny, though tho family was too anxious to appreciate tho humor. However, the remedy that was most often recommended, even by those outside tho medical world, was amyl nitrate, which Is one of the hiccough medicines most valued by physicians.

Medical science recognizes various classes of treatment for hiccoughs, and doctors talk profoundly of antispasmodic, empirical and physiological methods, but in an obstinate case nil throe classes of remedies are tried with beautiful impartiality, and even the unsciontillc suggestions of old ladies are not scorned. Antispasmodic remedies includo chloral, amyl nitrate, cocaine and morphine. In case of inflammation local bleeding, leeches and ice ap plications aro tried, and if tho trouble is due to gastritis, bismuth, magnesia and cocaine aro valuable. If the hiccoughs aro of tho irritative variety, tho necessity is to remove the cause of irritation. That is not always so easy as it sounds, but it is a safe thing to give a dose of castor oil on faith.

Xeurotio hiccoughs, being a nervous af fection, require nerve treatment. Valerian and asafetida are given, but one of the most common methods of treatment is to raiso tho patient's arms ahovo his head and then bring strong pressure to bear on the phrenic nerve, which is located near the collar bono. It is frequently tho caso that whero all deeply scientific treatment fails somo ono of the simpler empirical remedies will effect a cure, and ono of theso remedies has had a long and honorable career, for ono finds mention of it as far back as tho time 'of Plato. Hiccoughs are not respecters of persons and evidently did not hesitato to attack even the noblo Athenians, for in Plato's symposium ono reads that the physician Eryximachus recommended to Aristophanes, who had hiccoughs, that ho should hold his breath or garglo witli cold water, and if tho hiccoughs would not yield to that treatment he must tickle his nose until ho sneezed. Two sneezes were warrant ed to rout tho enemy.

Those same old remedies are still used, and only a short timo ago a pinch of snuff and the resultant sneezing cured a persistent caso of neurotic hiccoughs which had for 12 days defied all scientific treatment. Raw whisky and hot brandy aro among tho hiccough remedies; so aro salt and vinegar, salt and lemon and red pepper tea, which is given on the principle that to lose one's breath is the same thing as to hold it. Somo physicians advise "rhythmical protrusion of tho tongue," which, being interpreted, moans repeatedly sticking out one tonguo ns far as possible and drawing it back again. Considerable sat isfac tion as well as hiccough cure might be had from that treatment if the patient could havo his dearest foo in front of him. Continued and rapid swallowing is an other remedy, and after holding the breath is perhaps tho ono most univorsfiUy known, 15 swallows of water without breathing being invariably tried in a light caso of hiccoughs.

A mustard plaster over the stomach is sometimes good for hiccoughs: a severe fright is a heroic remedy, and outside of tho province of medicine, there aro incantations and spells which ore infallible. If ono will but hold his loft arm above his head and say slowly: "Hiccough, hic cough, I'm your brother. Leave me and tako another, the hiccough's chances are poor, and if one puts his fingers in his cars and chants: "Do debbil dono gib me deso hickups, but do bressed Lawd goin skeer em away. (Jomo, Lawd, como snatch om," the curse will depart in haste. There aro Afro American traditions, how evor, of cases whero the ovil spirit departed in "mons rous lits, so there danger in that experimoiit.

Tho number of cases of hiccoughs end ing fatally is not very large, and even in thoso cuses tho death isn't churged up to hiccoughs, for physicians explain seriously that tho peoplo don't die of hiccoughs, but of tho exhaustion caused by hiccoughs. That is an interesting distinction, but id doesn't mako much difference in the situation of the victim. New York Sua. GIVE THE CHILDREN A DRINK called Graln O.

NO ROMANCE IN IT My earliest and strongest impressions of seafaring life were gained by watching the evolutions of her majesty's ship Pinafore while she lay in the dry dock in Philadelphia, and although my ideals have been somewhat shaken by seeing tho deckhands of the transatlantic steamers I retained the notion that tho counterpart of my old friends would bo found aboard sailing vessels. But that dream is over. Tho first shock oame soon after leaving port, when I told tho captain that he was to teach me how to dance tho hornpipe. Ho said that he didn't know how, and, moreovor, had never soen any ono who did. I replied that I was not from tho country, but he solemnly assured mo that ho was tolling tho truth and called upon tho second mate to bear him witsiess.

Tho latter, after much reflection, recollocted that ho had once known a sailor who could danco a hornpipe, but couldn't remember whether it was on a voyago to tho East Indies or whilo he was "in steam" on the Mississippi. Further inquiry proved that no ono else had ever witnessed such a performance. This was not the most bitter disappointment, however. I am not a great lever of music, but it seemed to mo to he a necessary part of a sailor's existence that ho should scamper merrily about and pour forth tho gladness of his heart in song. To be sure, they do make a noise when they pull on the ropes and occasionally burst into a dirge whilo at pumps, but to both of theso performances tho cry of tho penguin is cheorful by comparison.

Indeed I havo como to tho melancholy conclusion that tho flavor of romance evaporated, with tho first generation of seamen. Thoro is nono of that picturesque idlonoss which I was lod to believo was as cssontial as tho song and danco. Were one of thorn to write his daily life it would be sspressivo of mora energy than Mark Twain's famous out would partake of the same simplicity. It would read, "Worked, ato and slept." Work begins when they are driven aboard by their ro spoctivo keepers and ceases whon tho vessel arrives at her uestination, so that tho timo occupied in eating and sleeping is their only respite. In heavy and squally weather thcro is also constant pulling of sails.

It is then that their abilities in that monkey like accomplishment of climbing tho riggings aro tasted. As you stand on deck in a heavy galo and watch all hands upon one of the yardarms furling a sail you bogin to put somo faith in Darwin's theory concerning the origin of mankind. In fino weather their duties aro of a differ ent sort. They then turn painters, car pentors and jacks of all trades. "Holy stoning," scraping, painting and varnishing go on until tho ship looks as if she wero just off tho drydock.

Sometimes in an i(3o moment or in a fit of temporary insanity a sailor decides to wash a shirt or a red bandanna. Ono day during a heavy rain this madness became epidemic, and after closing tho "scuppers" all hands got upon tho deck and proceeded to wash clothes with a small pieco of soap with a large question mark. Woro they as well treated on all vessels as they wero on tho Standard they might possibly learn to tako care of themselves when ashore. It is indeed a caso of out ol tho frying pan into tho fire, for when the escape from tho rule of moro or less severe shipmasters they havo not tho soni io to keep out of tho way of boarding houso runners and tho li ke. If they would only keep their wits about them and mako up their minds to defend themselves in an honest way, they could not fail to better thoir condition.

They sometimes entertain thomsolves by shirking work at tho latter part of the passage and by damaging tho rigging just before saying farewell. They nover lose tho sheepliko appearance with which they como aboard, going about in a Cock at tho beck and call of tho officers. Tho watch may bo forward pull ing at somo ropes when thoy hear, ''Como aft, two o' yorl" and immediately replying, "Como oft, two o' ycr!" they shufiio in a body in that direction, lu nothing aro sailors more obliging than in regard to their names. It matters not what thoy aro called Tom, Dick, Harry all aro tho same to them ns long as each has a separata ono. When two happen to claim the 6amo namo on their arrival, each tries to outdo the other in nobly sacrificing it to his companion.

Truly they aro believers in tho pootical theory concerning tho roso and can soe nothing in a namo. Bringing up tho rear in the ship's company camo tho animals. Besides a pig we left port with an army of chickens, cats and rats, of which tho lattor wero b7 far tho most numerous. Tho chickens went all too soon, tho cats departed savo two, but tho rats remained faithful to us. The surviving cats wore natives of Boston und showed a great fondness for baked beans and brown bread.

It was just as well that thoir comrades did not livo, for they wero all possessed with hearty appetites and doubtless would havo proved very sovere tax upon our supply of provisions. When tho bell sounded, theso creatures appeared from their various nooks and corners to dumand a meal in as many different keys. Edward Porter in Philadelphia Times. Just So.
