From the Wayne Independent. The Sorantou republican issued a magnifi cent holiday number, its beautiful title page Doing a fine sample of the work done iu its lithographing department Bcranton is a smart city and what makes it so smart is its newspapers, smart busiuoss mon, smart lawyers, doctors and commies. A HIGH DEG11EE OF TASTE. From tho Uonesdale Citizen. The Scranton Republican holiday number contained twenty pages, with a handsomelv engraved cover, and showed a high degree of taste ana enterprise.

Doe Experience Count? It does, in every line of business, and especially in compounding and preparing medicines. This is illustrated in the great superiority of Hood's Sarsaparilla over other preparations, as shown by the remarkable cures it has accomplished. The head of the firm of C. I. Hood is a thoroughly competent and experienced pharmacist, having devoted his whole life to the study and actual preparation of medicines.

He is also a member of the Mas sachusetts and American Pharmaceutical Association, and oontiuues actively devoted to supervising tne preparation of and manag ing the business connected with. Hood's Bursa parllla. Hence the superiority and peculiar meri of Hood's Sarsaparilla is built upon the most suostanuui louuaation. in its preparation mere is represented an tne knowledge which modern research in medical soieuce has de veloped, combined with long experience, Drain work, and experiment. It is only necessary to give mis meaicine a lair trial to realize its great curative value.

THE BOARD Of HEALTH. A Fever Eplrie into Imported in Providence Iu Probable Cause. Messrs. Bipple, Kelly, Bentlcy, Mayor Fol lows and Pavne, attended the regular meeting of the Board of Health yesterday after noon. Dr.

Allen and the other officers of the Board were present. Dr. Allen's monthly report stated that the oold weather which has prevailed so steadily during the past month has lessened the num ber of complaints somewhat, but there has been and undoubtedly will be, until we have hotter means of taking care of garbage and night soil a large amount of work for the Sard. tary Officer. The Doctor congratulated the Board and citizens on the prospect of gi'ttinc a crematory speedily.

If It can be got in operation oeiore warm weather, vast amount of sickness will undoubtedly be avoided. In fact, the time has arrived when a orematory is an absolute necessity. Dr. Allen also commented at some length on diphtheria, willed, he said, has been of a much more virulent type than In previous year There is no doubt thnt this disease is contagious and thnt the poison can be re tained and carried in the clothing of persons i uujniK iu cuuiuci wim ir, una uiur it is easi ly communicated to others. If people In general could be made to fear diphtherln as they do the small pox, which Is not one tenih so fatal, there would be very much less oi mat disease in tins community.

AJt EPIDEMIC IS TROVIDENOE. "Ihera has beou almost au epldemio of iover oi tne bilious rommont character In the orin ana, says tne doctor, "which was attributed to tho water supply by many people. I hnv ijspected the reservoir, and though the water was made unpalatable for a time by the removal of bags and roots from Summit Lake, 1 could not determine that the water was the cause of the trouble. The fact that tho entire community used the water, that there were many cases in families where all of the water had been boiled, and that the disease prevailed to quite as great an extent up the valley, where this water is not U9ed, would certainly indicate some other cause. Providence has never had a sewer, and the sewage of a largo population has been absorbed by tho earth from the early days of Bazorville to the present time, and It is to bo expected that this sort of disease will prevail whonover any considerable nmouut of excavation is done." The report closed with a kind word for Food Inupeoior Tliomn9.

The monthly report of fiacrotary Edgar shows that there wore 111 deaths i during December, an Increase of six over the preceding month and the same number reported during the corresponding month of 1880. Two deaths resulted from railroad aooidents and two from mining acoldonts There wore but six marriages reported, bat record bos been made oi 121 births. The tontagtouj dlseaee report shows that INK of is OF 1,500 oriental Hugs, Carpets and EMBROIDERIES 71 oases of that kind were reported. There were 31 oases of soarlet fever, 14 cases of measles and 23 oases of diphtheria. The Secretary's report also stated that there were 1,706 deaths during the year.

A communication was received from T. B. Seeley of 603 East Market street calling attention to the foolish habits of permitting everybody to bring their poultry into the I marKet, uuarawn. air. oeetey saia it com a I readily be seen what an amount of offal this brings Intn the town lhia was disoussed at some length and it was decided to take some action if it be pos sible.

Food Inspector Thomas presented his monthly report which showed that he had made 365 official inspections. He had condemned some poultry game and had it destroyed. Ho would also liko to destroy the very lean meat brought in from the country ami sold to poor people at a low price, but he did not know whether he was empowered to tuke such aotion. The board did not know cither, and instructed Secretary Edgar to write to other cities and see how such cases are disposed of. complaint was niadeuDout physicians who neglect to report contugious diseases.

Mr. Thomas was directed to leave cards at the offices of doctors from time to time. CHRISTIAN AND TEMPERANCE WORK. The revival services in the Primitive Methodist church, Market street, Green Ridge, are full of interest. Meetings are bold daily at 3 p.

IN ANNUAL SESSION. (Continued from fifth pago.) once remembered the Home most substantially, sent ue from time to time his Council tees, until tho legislature required the city fathers to serve witnout remuneration, an act wnu wmuu uur friend was in hearty accord. With his last oil closure ho cheers us by saying: "With high appreciation of your noble work, let ine tender to yourselt and associate workers my very best wishes for the continued success of yuiir sacred enterprise, whose constant aim is to lift up the weak and save the helpless. May the blessing ot the Almighty sustain you in all these wearisome labors." Thanksgiving Day last year was even more universally remembered than usual, the cash donations from various sources being Christinas both years was made a Joyous festival. The oush donations In 1890 were nearly $150.

The same firm who have for so many years furnished the dinner for the Home family again provided tor them bountifully. The gifts sent in included a large variety of articles both useful and pleasureable.among thorn being dresses, aprons, handkerchiels, stockings, mittens, shoes, rubbers, books, games, nuts, candies, a nice box ot oranges from two little boys nnd a large number of beau til ully dressed dolls. It is a day these children will never forgot, and tho family is so variable that but two or three of tho children lu the Home iu 18S9 were there iu 18110.

H. S. Pierce, Mr. John Stewart, Mr. Thomas Moore and Mr.

Peter Drum. There has been few changes in the Board ot Managers. Mrs. It. H.

Brown on aocount of removal from the city teudeied her resignation aud Mrs. K. J. Benuoll because of loug absence from the city felt she could not perform the duties of Manager aud so retired from active service. In June a very important change took place.

Amid many expressions of regret the Managers accepted the resignation of Mrs. Thomas Moore aB Chief Manager. Mrs. Moore was oue of the first to becomo interested in the Home for the Friendless. She was a charter member aud oue ot the first life members.

She was elected Vice President at the time of organization and Chief Manager at the annual electiun held in October 18i ofllce which she held continuously until her roBlgnatlon. It is impossiole to do full Justice to the work sue has performed. Endowed by nature with warm sympathies and a loving heart she made this her life work. lier noble impulses reached out aud lifted up many a frail tempted sister, and many a home loss wait bas bad cause to call her blessed. Eternity alone can measure the value ot the good she has accomplished.

Since Mrs. Moore's resignation Assistant Manager Mrs.S. A. Bright lnau has filled the ofllce with great acceptance. It is uj be regretted that mure of those who so liberally contribute towards the maintenance of the liome, do not also make themselves tainil iar with its inmate.

With a view to giving you who seldom visit the Home a fair picture oi its interior, the secretary made a visit to the institution at an unexpected and rather unusual hour. It was Just at dusk on the evening of December 30th. On aligutmg from the car I nearly ran into the aruie of Mrs. Cole, the matron, who was Just goiug out lor a few minutes, but insisted upon returning with me to dispell the hospitalit es of the house. On enteriug the door the hum of happy voices greeted the ear.

The parlor louknd a little l. nely; the lamiliar faces on the walla not compensate for the empty chairs. The silt.ug room was ns cheery as possible, but as soon as my wraps were removed I gravitated toward the play room. The children were having a merry time. The Christmas toys were being enjoyed to the utmost (tuough I am obliged to confess ihere were some wrecks amurrg them) an 1 a healthier, happier looking lot of little ones could not have been found lu tue city.

There is no sickness iu tho lamily. In December it was not necessary to call a jctor at all. in the girls' play room the huge Christmas tree was still standing, stripped of its gifts, but sparkling with its adornments. Iu a few minutes the tea bell rang and I went down to see the children enjoy their evening meal. For a minute the little heads wore bowed as In rythmic unison with the matron they invoked a blessing upon the repast The supper was plain but inviting, and the appetites reminded me of Dominie Sampson's favorite ejaculation Prodigeous.

Altor the children's tea a look through the cellar and store rooms found everything in its usual good order; the potato bins were reasonably well filled, the coal collar not empty, the Sherifl's big turkey in readiness for the New Year's diuuer, and a uice supply of flour. In the laundry the clothes bars were filled Willi nicely ironed little garment, while in the kitchen the uelp were taking their supper, all seeming cheerful and contented. Keturning to the first floor I stopped and took tea w.th the matron and nurse lu their cozy little dining room, after which they accompanied me to the nursery. One of the older siria uo nailing a book and watching the little one Four of the babies wore asleep, but the little two month's old baby winked her little black eyes and smiled upon me as placidly as if she dluu't know a well ordered baby ought to be asleep. In the dormitories the younger children were in bed.

The little girl who came to us ueanng sucu cruel maris oi aouse, was asleep with one of the Christmas dollies hugged clo in her arras. The older children were preparing for bed, so I wont to the old ladles room lor half au hour. There are five (here now and if you desire to know how happy and gralelul they are, you will have to visit them, woi ds of mine are powerless to express it.

Al the conclusion of the reading of the secretary's report, which was listened to with marked attention, the president warmly commended the paper. Dr. Logan also spoke briefly, after which the meeting adjourned.

AMUSEMENTS. "After Dark" To Nlght. William Brady's "After Dark," which will be given this evening at the Academy of Muslo, is one of Bouclcault's plays, by some considered his masterpiece. It is full of startling situations and replete with fine scenlo effects. It introduces Vaudeville artists, including Kelly and Murphy, scientific exponents of the flstio art while Sherman and Morrisey, of the London Alhambra, will present their original Ethiopian enter tainment.

Of a recont produotion of "Aftor Dark," the World says: "William A. Brady's "Altor Dark" company has Just closed a phe nomenal week's business at the Grand Opera House. The house has been packed nlchtlv. "After Dark" will equal the receipts of nuv mclo dramatio attraction this season. This is entirely due to the completouoss of the produotion, the general excellence of the cast and the careful attention to detail, that seem to pervade tho different scenes." JIB.

A little boy who met with an accident while coasting the other day, behaved so well under his misfortune that the incident is worthy of note.

His hand was severely gasbed, and without going home to consult with his parents aud alarming them, he proceeded ut once to a dootor's office near by. He Is only eleven years old, aud the doctor was surprised that he cume alone. Nevertheless he sewed up the little fellow's wound, the boy mauilesiiug scaroely any sense of pain during the siitchinK process. When the job was finished, the boy said: "Now doctor, I don't want you to send a bill to pn for this work. I will get the money in a few days, and I will pay your bill myself." The doctor kindly consented to do as be requested aud sent the boy home.

It was the little fellow's purpose to conceal bis injuries from his parents, but in a little while the bandage and the medicine which he brought with him, led the loiks at home to suspect that something was wrong.
