The excursion of Bauer's band of Scranton to Mountain Park on Saturday was a distinct success, numerically, musically and socially, and it was doubtless the same financially, as about fifteen hundred people were in attendance, and if they didn't enjoy it it was their own flault. The day wias an idoal one for an excursion picnic and the 6pot has no rivals in this region. The Scranton band boys were joined by their Wilkes Barre confreres, Alexander's Nintlh Regiment band of this city, and the two bands, which are accustomed to piny together, and the members of which seem to be so congenial in their musical and social tastes, enjoyed the occasion fully as much as their guests did.

The joint efforts of the bands made the Mountain Park woods ring with melody, and the denizens of thait region heard more music to the square mile than they ever listened to before. The programme wa3 out of sight, but they do siy that they could distinguish the airs clear over in town here. It made all feel like having more sudh excursion picnics before the season closes. My little, boy, when two years of age, was taken ill with bloody flux. I was advised to use Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and luckily procured part of a bottle.

I carefully read the directions and gave It accordingly. He was very low, but slowly and surely he began to Improve, gradually recovered, and is now as stout and strong as ever. I feel sure it saved his life. I never can praise the remedy half its worth. I am sorry every one in the world does not know how good it is, as I do.

A PRIZED CITY PASTOR'S DEATH Passed Away Saturday Morning After a Month's Illness. Gustav A. Struritz. pastor of St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran church on South Mlain street, died on Saturday morning a't 8:15 after an illness of four weeks of diabetes.

Mr. Struntz was born in Eavtari', Germany, in 1S29, where his minor education was received. At the age of 30 years he emigrated to this country, settling at Carlisle. Shortly after graduating from the Gettysburg seminary, he went to live in Summeytown with his wife, who, before marriage, was Miss Margaret Wolf, of Carlisle. They later lived In Monroe county and in Mauc'h Chunk, where Mr.

Struntz was obliged to give up preaching, his he'alth being too delicate to admit of his continuing the profession until he became TJtas'tor of the Lutheran church in this city in 1890. His good work in this church has been clearly demonstrated not only by the raDid growth of the congregation, but by its excellent financial condition. Mr. Struntz was an able speaker and it was through his eloquence and coupled with his perseverance that brought the church up to its present high standard. Socially, deceased was a warm hearted companion a man whom any of his parishioners felt free to visit at any time and under all circumstances for advice in time of trouble.

He was. aside from this, a generous hearted man, one who sympathized with others and who gave muoh of his means to relieve the pecuniary distress of those less fortun 'ate than (himself. His Christianity was of a substantial oharaloter, though not to such an extent as to interfere with the broad and liberal views he held concerning the duty of the Christian. His church and his people have lost an etirnest worker and a good friend. Deceased is survived by his wife, five pons, John of Slatington: Henry 'ind Oharles, of Philadelphia: Adolph and F.

Willilam. of this city: and two daughters, Misses Margaret and Bertha; and one sister, Mrs. Louise Henning, of Germany. Immense That's What They All Say. It is customary in these latter days to express our perfect satisfaction with a thing by saying "It Is immense!" It's so expressive that nothing can be added.

George L. Fink, Philadelphia, says: "My wfe has been taking your New Cure for the Heart, and says it is immense! She has not been troubled with pain or smothering spells since using it." John L. Roberts, Slatington. says he is io years old, and has suffered from heart disease for over forty years. Was treated without avail by prominent New York physicians; grew constantly worse: took Dr.

Miles' New Heart Cure and was completely cured. Sold by Matthews Bros, on a guarantee. A WEEK'S SAD DEVELOPMENTS Some Case That Keveal Man's Inhumanity to Womau. Last week was replete with sensations of a very unusual character. One day the story of a mother seeking to have returned a stige struck daughter comes to hand, and then It is a deserted wife seeking to get home.

Wednesday Chief Briggs received a letter from ai lady in New Hampshire asking him to look up and locate her daughter who was somewhere in Wilkes Barre. The letter contained a brief history of the woman, who had deserted her husband and a good home to go with a circus rider. The adventure and illicit love 'affair was short lived and when the first stage of the amor had gone, with it went the circus man, and the girl wife was left to get home as best she could. She reached Wiikes BUrre and rented a room in a Franklin street residence, she was known as Mrs. Brown.

She wrote to her sister for money to take her home. The sister made her mother acquainted with the details of the escapade, and the mother at once communicated with the chief of police here. Sergeant Smith was sent to the house, but the woman had gone. It seems that on th day her mother had written her sister sent on a ticket for her to come' home. The woman at the house where she stayed in this city tfaid she had no company while she was here.

She went out to do some work and believes she lived on braad and water during the time she remained in the city. Since 1S78 there have been nine epi demies of dysentery in different parts of the country in which Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was used with perfect success. Dysen tery, when epidemic, is almost as severe and dangerous as Asiatic cholera. Heretofore the best efforts of the most skilled physicians have failed to check its ravages, this remedy, however, has cured the most malignant cases, both of children and adults, and under the most trying conditions, which proves it to be the best medicine In the world for bowel complaints.

He saw three men standing in front of 'the store tand their actions being suspicious, he hurrried to the residence of Richard Clarke, the m'anager, and informed him of what he had seen.

The Where and Purpose of Vacation. Seaward Liea Your Vacation EldoradoBlock Island an Ideal Vacation Spot Personal, Material and Conditional Environment. What They Do at Block Island. Vacation tastes are multiform. Tho where and the when of vacation perplex.

The when matters little. The where is the all important consideration. The duration of vacation has much to do with it. If the outing be short, distance is out of the question. If you have a fortnight or more, go to the sea shore.

I'm talking to coal region people. Who have woods and mountains at home. Who have lakes and ponds galore. And only a few hours distant. An hour's walk will take us to woods.

An hours ride to lakes. Mountains are our habitat. We are penned in by them. They are in continual view. We want a change.

Of air, of v.ew, of diet, of association. The sea shore gives us all these. Inland people should go to the sea. Lat the seasiders have the mountains. They find their true recreation there.

It's the unaccustenud that the vacationist requires. Tou don't all think this way. You run to Harvey's lake or Glen Summit. Or to Bear Creek and North Mountain. And you think you are recreating.

Roughing it isn't recreation. You like things pretty smoolh, anywhere. In driving you don't choose the cobbled streets. You prefer the asphalt and the macadam. In traveling you prefer boat to car.

There's a deal of nonsense over roughing it. Climbing and stumbling and jolting sound all right. But, honest, now, do you enjoy With snakes and ants and punkies and dreary nights? Well, perhaps. Tastes are queer. There are some people who even like onions.

So some take to the woods when they get loose. The swine ran to the sea when the devil entered them. Probably to get rid of the devil. The true vacahonal philosopher has an aim. How many aimless vacations are taken! Getting away anywhere, somewhere, is ail there is of it to many.

Va cation should be purposeful. Tne purpose should be more than mere rest. Tne more radical the change the more beneficial. Especially when you feel no need of a va cation. And many do feel so.

They're honest. They probably never felt better in their lives. Miysically well, mentally normal. on't need a vacation. Perhaps that's so.

These take vacations because others do. Ycu know how that is. So you don't much care where you go. Henci oftentimes, your vacation has been a bore. You went where somebody wanted you to go.

Amiability has spoiled lots of fun. Better be whimsical than indifferent. Don't be pulled into an aimless vacation. Think it over seriously. It's worth it.

1 If you do, and obey inclination, I think you'll go seaward. I mean country peo pie like you and me. The purpose? Sea air. There's no up bracer 1 it fcr in'a id folks. Sea food.

It's absolutely impos sible to get it here. Sea baths. Ah! the luxury of a sea swim to the inlander! A day in a cat boat over the bounding billows. Fishing as Is fishing. A lcafful smoke in the sand upon the beach.

The curious creatures you see. Denizens of a world all unfamiliar to us. Every day a new experience. Every day a fresh sen sation. What? Go to the woods where even the wilds are tame? To the Insipid fresh water lakes and doze vacation away? TO mountain summits, where one view settles it? Go to! What are you giving us? Of course you'll go to the sea.

That set tled, the more sea the bstter. The further into old ocean the better. To the islands rather than the mere coasts. There are many within easy reach. Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Shelter Island, Block Island.

Yet it hasn't the air of the conventional summer "resort." pure, has no hold at Block Island. The environment is delightfully democratic. Swelldom has no sway there as yet. I don think it ever will have. The go as you please element is too strong to be balked.

Nor is there anything to attract the rough element. It's the great middle class you meet there. The atmosphere is strikingly social. Formality is nowhere. Plain peop'e all, with no frills on 'em.

If this doesn't suit you don't go to Block Island. No, I didn't meet a Wilkes Barre soul there. Expected to find some at Newport. I searched a whole day at that aristocratic summer town. They weren't there.

No, there wasn't any excursion. You run against Scranton people everywhere. They were hustling, as usual. Hustling in their riding, sailing, fishing and swimming. Hustled in their dancing and whist and church going.

They especially hustled at meal times. A waitress one day remarked, "Them Scranton folks eats awful." Block Island visitors all have great appetites. There were three causes for it. Salt air. eternal go and good food.

That's at the "Woonsocket." of course. Over which Mrs. Rose presides so gracefully and ably. I'd like to tell about her. But it might make her proud and others envious.

You get voracious. You wonder when the dinner bell will ring. Everything taster good. And you can eat all you want. Without any after bad feeling.
