On recommendation of Chancellor Day, who is a man of liberal views, the board of trustees has been enlarged and women given representation. The Chancellor suggested that at least two women placed on the board The idea was favorably received, so favorably that three women were put on instead of two.

McHugh. The Slttser Dunham Contest. (Tunkhaunock cor. Wilkesharro Record.) in the judicial contest proceedings on tesday there were no new developments of a specially startling nature, the nearest to it being when some of the witnesses called by the contestants testified to money hav log been paid In ForkBton and Meehoppen for SIttser votes. About 150 witnesses were examined, and out of this number there were probably near a dozn illegal votes unearthed, which were apparently about equally divided between Sltteer and Dunham.

The whole thing bears the ap pearance of a fishing expedition. Witness after witness is called to testify as to whether he has paid a tax and where he Uved at the time of election, and the nly relief to the monotony of the an Hwers ib when at long intervals some one is found whose tax was not paid In the legal limit of time the conrt and counsel are to be commend ed for the disposition they are showing to hurry the case along. If they keep up tbe present pace there is reasonable hope that the taking of evidence in this cennty will be completed before the end of the week A time will then be fixed for the hearing of the respondent's side of the case in Sallivan county, and an end of the agony may be looked for some time during the summer.

I was so bad as to be forced to carry a belt at all times, and, when my Buffering became bcyonu endurance, 1 would put ou the belt draw ing it tightly around mo and bucklo it thus brliiglD ati extreme pressure over the kidneys; this, undoubtedly, forced the urine out. a function which the kidneys themselves bad become too diseased to perform. My condition I put down to a strain I received. I began taking Poan's Kiduey nils. After two or three days I noticed their effect.

I was much surprised, as the ailment was bo severe and so long standing, while I had tried many remedies without any relief whatever. The pain I have experienced at times from straining in my efforts to discharge the urine wiu) simply awful, have done away with the use of my leather belt, and the pain has all gone, and I recommend Poan's Kidney Pills to all afflicted with kidney ami urinary disorders."

There Is a rumor current among the Delaware and Hud on Company's em p'oyes that the company has decided to abandon tbe canal east of Summltvllle, and that coal from Honesdale after being car ried In boats as far as Summltvllle, will be placed on Ontario and Western cars at a point between Summ'tville and Phillips port, at Rose's lock.

Rev. J. C. Hogan attended the State Pro hibition convention In Pittsburg last week and nude a speech. He alluded to his tronble In Wyoming Conference, and to the letters that passed between him and Bishop Andrews.

As the dates of the Boston Christian Ea deavor Contention, July 10 15, draw near, the Interest among Christian End lavorers, and the public generally, shows a remarkable Increase. A speolal rate of one fare for the round trip baa been made by all of the piiaclpal railroad lines In the United States and Canada for the Convention. The wonderful nature of the Convention may be somewhat understood trom the fact that no less than 250 meetings will be held during the five days, and more than 1,000 addresses will be delivered.

Only a email portion of these will be In Hechanlcs' Hall and In the two mammoth tenta on Boston Common. White capped scouts will meet all Inoom ing Bus ton delegates at some die tanss from the city. A small army of young men and women, members of the reception committee, will be at all stations and boat landings to give a hearty el join to the visitors and to escort them to their headquarters. The question of homes and food for 50,000 people has been satlsfac torlly solved by the Entertainment Committee, which has already provided accom modationa for whatever number of dele gates may come. Rjoms and boar are to be secured separately The former will oust from 75 cents to 0 per day In hotels, and 50 to 75 cents per day In pri vate bonus.

Meals may be obtained fi whatever one cares to pay. Arrangements for entertainment are to be made only by writing to the State Transportation manager. No accommodations will be assigned until Boston Is reached. A remarkably strong array talent has been secured for the programme, including representatives from nearly all denominations and countries. It Is expected that Northeast ern Pennsylvania will send quite a large delegation to tbe convention.

They are repairing tbe asphalt pave down at the county seat, and, since we are to have the same atyle of pave on onr Main street, the mode of operation is of Interest. The Wilkesbarre Leader tolia atx nt it. As that journal says, It la a peculiar method that is used in making tbe repairs and the facta given are calculated to sur prise even those who think they know all about asphalt. "A kind of furnace on wheels belching forth a big gasoline flame om beneath a half boiler, softens the as phalt so that It can readily bs act aped The men then go at It with rakes and scrape off abort half an inch of the top coat Then the fop ia finished off with new ooat an Inch thick, In all respeobi like the original laying and then the pavement looks entirtly new, as Indeed It is, pro vided the concrete underneath Is solid. These repairs are not very dlffionlt or very eostly provided ey are taken in time, Bnt these boles In the asphalt here and the worn patches have been allowed to go too long, and of course that Increases tbe necessary expense for repairs." In this connection, a remark credited to the superintendent of tbe asphalt work In Wilkesbarre can be appreciated by tbe people of this city.

He says that "tbe money put Into repairing the cobblestone streets alone, and keeping them hoed out, would be more than sufficient to keep tbe city's entire asphalt pave clean and in re pair." Note should also be made of this recommendation for asphalt given by tbt Leader: "Tbe remarkable wearing powers of this pave are shown by the fact that the Franklin street pave In nine years dur ing part of which time it took a great deal of South Main street and River street travel haa been worn down only a quart er of an inch. At this rate, if no other agencies intervened, It would take a good plump half a oebtury to wear through to the concrete." Society fads, like emsJlpox and measles are contagious, and In the course of time those having their origin in the highest circles reach to even the most remote and out of the way places. As an illustration of this fact the following "society" report is copied fro the columns of the Weekly Wiggler, a paper published from the town of Beckett's Mill, up in the Possum Rldgs seotlrn of Missouri "It is with a feeling of mingled pride and pleasure that we re cord tbe particulars of the great event ol the season In Possum Rld.e society, the same being tbe marriage of onr young friends, Mr. J. A.

Swipes and Miss Alvlrs Ann Peters, which transpired Tuesday at the residence of the bride's father, Mr. Judson Peters, who Is one of our best and most prominent citizens, and an old ossh In advance subscriber lo tbe Wigyler. The contracting parties have always moved in onr best society, both of them belonging to families distinguished for their prom! nce In public affairs, the groom's father having at one time filled the high and bon orable office of Justice of the Peace, be sides a number of times serving on the jury, while for a number of years Mr. Pe tors has held the iflice of road overseer of his district. Owing to the prominence ol the parties the wedding was an event ol great eclat, and there waa a large assem blage of guests, comprising the bon ton of tbe Ridge.

After the beautiful and Im pressive ceremony that bound tbe two lov leg young hearts as one a grand teaat was spread, to which all did fall justice."
