G. O'Malley raked the city with a fine toothcomb. It is doubtful if he could have found a more experienced man for the post of superintendent of building inspection than E. L. Walter.

Mr. Walter designed the City hall, and for twenty years it stood practically without any attention whatsoever. Of course the building needed it at times, but the point that I want to make is that if any other building had gone without fixing for twenty years, there wouldn't be anything left to repair. Mr. Walter designed the county jail, also.

There Is absolutely no connection between the city hall and county Jail, the fact being mentioned just incidentally. Lest anyone should believe that there is a connection we will hasten to remark that Mr. Walter also designed some churches.the First Welsh Baptist, the Tabernacle Congregational, St. Joseph's church of Minooka, the Avoca Catholic church and others without number. And lest anyone should think there is any connection between City I hall and churches, we might mention that Mr.

Walter designed the Scranton Lace works and other manufacturing plants. When in the army Mr. Walter was a cava! rymanv. and he was a good one. He Is a member of Lieutenant Ezra.

S. Griffin post, Grand Army of the Republic. Mr. Walter has office hours and keeps them. Generally when a man has office hours, you find him during those office hours at some other place, but with Mr.

Walter it is 'different. He Is in the office during office hours. When the city has build 4 Ings under way, Mr. Wajter looks after them, and does it well. Walter H.

Smith, one of the efficient foremen of the Scranton Railway company construction crew, is a small man physically, but big mentally. He entered the employ of the railway company half a decade ago and has advanced rapidly and is still on the upward move. When he first took up fris employment with that company, Mr. Smith occupied the position of errand boy. Now when a particularly difficult job turns up, Mr.

Smith is called into service and they say that he delivers. Genial and modest, Walter Smith has friends in every section of the city. He was raised in West Scranton, the son of Daniel Smith, and now resides with his father in a new home on Arthur avenue. Principal R. H.

Martin, of No. 25 school, was one of the moving spirits back of the convention of the Supreme lodge. Sons of St. George, which met here during the week. Mr.

Martin attended the last session of the Supreme lodge in Calumet and started out to bring the next meeting to this city. He succeeded, as he generally does. Mr Martin is one of the best teachers in the city schools, the best friend you could have in the world, and absolutely reliable.

Mr. Martin was busy attending to the needs of the delegates. When anybody wanted anything, the first question was, "Where is Martin?" He generally produced. Wilkes Barre's talk of copyrighting the name of that town might work havoc if the game was tried on the name "David J. Davies," of whom there are eight in the city.

The same distressing condition might exist if a smilar rule was put in effect on the name David J. Davis, for there are nine such in the city. David Jeremy Davis spelled without the would never get tangled up, for all you would have to do would be to write "Jeremy" and the mail would find him. D. Jeremy is cashier of the Taylor bank, having been graduated from the windows of the Dime bank to the responsible position he now holds.

Mr. Davis used to be one of the best arguflers in the Welsh philosophical society's junior organization. Down in Taylor they swear by him nobody blames them. Public spirited like his father. Col.

F. i Hitchcock, John P. Hitchcock, who 4 in the fire insurance business with his father, has as many friends as any of the young men about town. Jack Hitchcock is a joiner and has been from the time he was a wee lad. When' he Is engaged in soliciting fire Insurance, he is as fair a competitor as one would wish, and they say that he is just as prompt when it comes to settling in case of a fire.

Jack's hearty greeting and his effervescent good nature are worthy of a man who never gets angry over trifles. When he re solves to do a thing he generally docs It, but like Franklin he resolves to do only what is right. Before many of us are much older, Jack Hitchcock will be as big a man lnthe city as his father ever was. One of the Scranton boys who has made good in New York is Thomas Lawrence Flood, who was for several years telegraph operator on The Republican in the employ of the Laffan News service. When The Republican quit the Laffan service, Mr.

Flood left Scranton. Now comes word that he is night traffic chief for the Western Union, the largest telegraph office in the metropolis, and on the way to higher places and better opportunities than ever fell to his lot in Scranton.

In Olden Days Stones Believed to Have Curative Powers, Stones of healing, as they used to be called, may not have been such fakes as sceptical moderns think. At least a writer in the Lady's Pictorial inclines to believe that there may have been some foundation for the faith one placed in them. 'He points out that "every gem is the focus of a light ray, and it is noteworthy that the traditional attributes of jewels are quite along the line of later scientific ideas.

The amethyst and the sapphire, prisms of the soothing violet and blue ray, have ever been considered calming in their influence, while the ruby, the bloodstone, have always been said to exercise the rousing, stimulating effect of the red ray. "Gems are highly electric The chrysallte acts on the magnetic needle and this presupposes the radiation of living force from Jewels, so strongly insisted upon in ancient medieval writings.

A famous French confection of 1713 was composed of jacinth, coral, sapphire, topaz, pearl and emerald mixed with gold and silver loaf and "herbs of power." "This confection," says Pomet, the French king's, apothecary, "Is much used In Florence and Lanquedoc, where you meet few persons not having a pot thereof." It was supposed to be an excellent recipe for many physical ailments.

Precious stones were prepared medicinally by (1) powdering (i. by grinding); (2) calcination (by fire or corrosion); (3) purification; (4) liquation; (5) distillation or volatilization (i. dissolved in spirits of wine and distilled); (6) siruplzation (solution mixed with citron, barberries, sugar and water). Powder of emeralds in doses of 30 to 40 grains was considered an astringent. It stanched blood and strengthened the eyes.

Powdered topaz and rosewater prevented bleeding and was good for digestion; it was sold by apothecaries as an antidote to madness, and, taken in time, cured asthma and induced sleep.
