PRESIDENT DEVINE SPEAKS.
President John II. Dsvine was then
introduced and said:
If we keep on agitating in tho right di
rection and keep alive the spirit of earnest
effort that Is produced by theso quarterly
conventions lUOCOsf will ultimately crown
our efforts. It will never come if wo
quietly lay on our oars. Wo must press
forward with determination and tight
down the powerful enemies of this move
ment. It is n great question and means
the emancipation of s nils, the emancipa
tion of men und the solving of the labor
problem. If we 'show the determination
in the future that we have in tho past we
will surprise ourselves and our enemies. 1
am confident that nt the next annual con
vention in WUkee-Barre wo will bo able to
show more new societies organized than
Buy yearsince the formation of the union.
The powerful iullueuco of tho ladies is-be-ing
exerted iu our behalf and will be pro
ductive of great good.
Brief remarks were alio made by
Charles H. Lavin, John M. Mack, M. J.
Walsh aud D. J. Campbell. The re
port of the board of directors of the
district was read and showed that
three ludies' societies had been organ
ized since the last convention. They
tiro auxiliaries to St. Leo's and Father
Mathew societies, of the Wost Side,
ami St. John's, of South Scranton.
THE PAPIBS HEAD.
Captain J. H. Duggan, of Providence,
was then called upon to road u paper
on u temporunae topic His subject
was, "Position of tho Catholic Church
with Regard to Prohibition." The
paper was a very thoughtful effort,
aud showed painstaking research and
careful consideration of the subject.
He maintained that the question of
firohibltion as generally understood be
ongs to the domain of politics and not
to religion. He said the trouble was
fiat prohibition is too often and per
mstontly urged as a dogma and notaa a
policy.
Captain Duggau was followed by C.
Ot, Boland, who read a paper dealing
with the efforts in the direction of
bringing about prohibition by legis
lation. He maintained that the his
tory of tha states that have adopted
prohibition in the past show that it is
not a success. Iu concluding hie paper
Mr. Boland said :
It Is clear to every unprejudiced mind
that tho effort to abolish the manufacture
and ualo of Intoxicating liquors cannot be
Accomplished by law in any state unless it
Is abolished throughout every other state
and In the world generally, and even if tins
were possible, no sane man would believe
it probable,
TO BROADEN THE WORK.
I believe that If we broadou the work dt
our organization by extending its benefit
to all men who are in need of Its snala
taining influence that it can exist anil
grow strong and powerful without Invit
ing membership for the money there Is in
It. We know that the use of intoxicating
drinks is not sinful in itself. It is the
abuse that h)siuful.
Where drunkenness is a ohrooln condi
tion let us urge that the victim be treated
and cared as the insane are treated and
cared for in that state. Under present
conditions tho victim of strong drink is
allowed his freedom as soon as the result
of his debauch disappears, only to satisfy
the appetite for njore drink, winch grows
by what it feeds on until it makes him mad
and lauds him in a felou's cell or causes
him to abandon the dearest ties of kindred
and home.
I It will be observed that many of the
states whioh hnve abandoned prohibition
notably Massachusetts are adopting this
method of dealing with the question ad
there Ban he no doubt that tba rest ill II ig
Influences, thus exerted will mi Ig.ito thi
evil and in time abolish drunkenness. A
CO summation devontedlv to t. wished
and in the success of which our temper
ance organization is especially adapted to
lead the vay.
THE INSURANCE PLAN,
Discussion of the plan of having nn
insurance feature in connection with
the Diocesan union was taken up.
Ualy one society was reported as favor
iug the plan. After much discussion
the matter was laid on the table until
the next convention. On-the inviti
tion of St John's sooiety, the delegates
adjourned to the sscond Moor of ths
building where a banquet was ssrved
in an artistically decorated dining
hall.
The banquot was In charge of P. F.
Murray, T. J. Goolrich, John Joyce.
Henrv Goddard, Nicholas Burke and
Edward Barrett, of St. John's society,
assisted by the following ladies: Mrs.
M. J. Kelly, Mrs. P. Flaherty, Mrs. M.
CoughMn. Mrs. J. W. MoLain. Mrs.
Hugh Culkiu, Mrs. Hugh Orattan,
and Misso3 Nellie Weir, Annie Gib
bons, Bridget (Joan, Bridget MnIIile,
Nellie Dsvine, Annie Ferguson, Annie
Stringer, Theresa Blewitt and Maggie
Sullivan.
At 0 o'elook the convention reassem
bled and reports from societies were
heard regarding the organiz itton of
ladies' societies.
I.ADIEU' SOCIETIES ORUANIKED.
It was shown that St. Loo's society,
West Side, has a ladies' society with
fifty members. ; St. John's. South Side,
one with tifty-uve members; lather
Mathew society, West Side, has a
ladies' organization forms, and St.
Paul's society, of the West Side, and
St. Patrick's South Scranton, are about
to form sush organizations.
J. J. Moran, of Providence, made an
address favoring the erection of a mon
ument to Father Mathew on Court
House square. The matter was then
brought before the convention by a
motion from James McNamara, of the
West Side, that the sooieties of the
Second district erect such tt monument
as suggested by Mr. Moran. On mo
tion of James Cullso, of South Scran
ton, action on tho matter was deferred
until the next quarterly convention to
tret the sentiment of the local societies.
The following resolution was presented
by C. G. Boland and passed:
It is tho sense of this convention that
Wrf heartily approvo the movoment inaug
urated by the Phil Sheridan rifle to ereot
a monument to the gallant Pud H. Sheri
dan and pledge our aid to tho movement.
PADCIK PRESENTATION.
Just before ths cloie of tho conven
tion President Ujvine presented
Master Patrick y linn with a gold
badge for bringing into St. John's
cadets the greatest number of new
members during the past quarter.
After discussing a number of meas
ures to promote the membership of
societies, a vote of thanks was tendere I
to St John's society and to the press
of the city. The invitation of St.
Paul's society of Green Ridge, that the
next quarterly convention be held in
its ball, was accepted and the couven
tiou closed with prayer,
Next Sunday the quarterly conven
tion of the third district will assemble

The convention was follows 1 by a
public rally and entertainment given
by St. John's society. Every available
bit of space in the hall was occupied
aud many were unable to gain admis
sion, MR. POWDERLY'S ADDRESS.

Lincoln and Father Mathew and said
that one had freed the blacks from

struggled and freed thousands of white

less ignoble than that suffered by the
blacks of our land.
During the course of his remarks
Mr. Powdsrly paid u tribute of respsct
to the memory of the late Jamus Mitch

and dirt caused by the workmen con
tinues her health will be destroyed and
life endangered Hs wants the work

him for the injury he has already sus
tained.

CITY Ut'AKD OFFICERS.
The board of officers of the Scranton
City Guard held their annual and quar
terly meeting last Monday evening.
Reports were received from the treas
urer and the several committees and
duly acted upon. The result of the
election of officers for the ensuing year
was as follows: Sscrstary and treas
urer, Adjutant W. S. Millar; commit
tee on the state of the guard, Lieuten
ant Colonel H. A. Coursen, Adjutant
W. a Millar and Lieutenant C. R.
Parke; music committee, Captain
James Moir, Lientenant R. M str.it-
ton and Lieutenant F. W. Stillwell.
A committee was appointed to draft
resolutions touching on the death of
Lieutenant L. I. Seeley. A committee
consisting of Colonel E. H. Ripple,
Lieiiteunnt Colonel H. A. Coursen,
Major C.C. Mattes.Major W.G.Fulton,
Adjutant W. S . Millar, Chaplain S.C. Lo
gan and Lieutenant J W Oakford was
appointed to solicit honorary and sus
taining members of the regitusnt The
resolution on reorganization of the
board offered by Adjutaut W. S. Mil
lar over a year ago, and which he has
persistently championed, was finally,
after being rnodifhd, unanimously
adopted. The actlou taken is as fol
lows; The board of officers of the
Scranton City guard will remain intact
and will hereafter meet annually in
stead of quarterly. A board of officers
of the Thirteenth regiment will bit
formed consisting of all the commis
sioned officers of the regiment who
will meet quarterly for the transac
tion of regimental business. The of
ficers of the regiment will meet at the
armory of the Scranton City guard on
Monday evening, Pel). ., Tor organiza
tion. Captains M. Barnard and E. D
Fellows and Adjutant Millar were ap
pointed a committee to draft laws for
the guidance and government of the
new board.
ANNUAL SPRING INSPECTION.
The annual spring inspection of the
regiment will take place very soon and
company commanders siiould be well
prepared for the ordeal. Close atten
tion should be given to all the details
of the company, and particular atten
tion should be given to guard duty and
skirmish drill. There seeim to be a
prevailing idea among company com
manders to keep the shoes (recently
adopted and issued by the state to ths
guard) carefully stored away and not
issue them to tho men until the eve of
the coming encampment This is a
serious mistake. Every enlisted man
must appear at the coming spring
inspection wearing the regulation
state shoe. No other shoe
worn, will be recognized by the inspec
tor, Major Wright, and any deviation
from this part of the uniform and
equipment, will cause the company to
be marked down, just as certain as if
the men appeared in citizen's trousers.
Make no mistake in this, company com
manders, but issue those shoe! at onoe
and have them broken in for inspec
tion. The men should be admonished
at the same time that the regulation
state shoe is only to be worn when in
uniform. Company drill affords an
excellent opportunity to break in the
new shoes

Tho action of the board of officers of
the Scranton City guards, at their
meeting, to organiz a new regimental
board of officers consisting of all the
commissioned officers of the regiment
tub noi oniy commenaaDie.nut jusi.auu
wise. Just why the officers of the
field and staff and Companies A, B, C,
D, ihOUl'i Meet as thy have 'or th
pa.t sixteen years, every quarter and
runs ici business iu the intrrest of th'
entir regiui"n'. while the offlcrs of
Copipani-s E F G aud H, h cv had
iti voie or x ir ssin i I'tlM matter is,
be ond all comprehension.
The latter lour companies have as
much interest at eiake in the prosperity
and government of tne regiment as
have the four former coniDanies. Aud
it is but Just and fair that they shoul 1
have a voice in the selection of omcars
and committees and in the transaction
of all business pertaining to the gov
ernment of the regiment. On the other
hand, it is neither just nor fair that
Companies A, B, C and D should bear,
as thev have in all these years, the
burden of the expense for the mainten
ance of the general affairs of the regi
ment, ttvery company should share alike
the expense of the regiment as well as
its glories and achievement. Under
tho new regime of board of officsrs of
the rsgimont, it is possible for tho
colonel commanding to come iu per
sonal contact with his line ofli :h at
least four times a year in addition to
cimp, and discuss ways and means for
the success and bsneht of, the regimsnt.
It is expected at the meeting to be neld
in this city Feb 5 every officer will be
present to taks part iu the new organ

NOTES OF THE 0 CARD.
Lieutenant Walter A, Wood, the
martinent and courteous officer of
Company E, Houesd.ile, was a guest
at the Westminster, this eity, last
Fridsv evening, and was entertained
by Adjutant Miller, Inspector Pratt
And Dr. Parke, of the staff, and
Lieutenant H. B. Chase, of Com
pany C.
Adjutant Miller was for the fifteenth
consecutive yenr elected secretary and
treasurer of the board of officers of the
Scranton City guard at the meeting
lust Monday.
It is to be hoped that Company H
will iuduce Captain W. B. Rockwell to
accept the captaincy of the company
for another term at its election on
the twenty-third. He is the right
man in the right plaoe and his retire
ment would not only be regrettel by
his company, but by the regiment ns

A TORNADO AT THE ACADEMY.
Lincoln Carter's New Play Produesd by
a Band of Amatsurs.
The audience that attended the per
formance of Lincoln Carter's new play,,,
"The Tornado," at the Acadsmy of
Music on Saturday night was dismissed
at 10.50 o'clock exactly two and a
quarter hours later than it should have
been.
The piny gets its name from a tor
nado scene at the end of the first act.
which is rather cleverly produced with
the aid of a dozen or so pieces of wire
clothesline. The rest of the play was
so dull and uninteresting and so poorly
noted that when the curtain dropped
for the last time the gallery hissed -and
a show must be fearfully and won
derfully bad to be hissed at by S-rau
ton galleryites, for as a rule they are
the most patient aud easily pleased of
critics.
Mr. Carter's play cn never succeed
so long as it is handicapped by the bril
liant galaxy of actors and actresses that
produced "The Tornado" Saturday
night. The bad, naughty, scheming
villain was played by an amateur
named George T. Meech.who ha made
a good success in "thinking parts" In
Sunday school charades. Mr. Meeeh
hss a few qualities of the stage villain,
hut not all. He has a black mustache
and wears a crush hat, also a go id reg
ulation stage scowl at divers times.
But Mr. Meeeh forgets to tap the stage
with his shoe nt that point ot the drama
where bis plans are frustrated by the
hero. After several years' praotioe Mr
Meeeh will undoubtedly make a good
actor for private theatricals, and then
if he continues to play one night
stands he will be fully qualified to do
soubrette roles it: the nielo dram 4.
The part of Bridget O'Raff erty. the
possessor of a bad cold, a red wig and
a daughter of 1)7 years, made up to
look as if she were IS, was played by
Miss May Graham. It was a delicious
bit of comedy work, and was raptur
ously applauded by two little boys in
the third row of the gallery, who were
visiting the theatre for the first time.
The other members of the company
were amateurs, recently graduated
from a school of acting, and were nat
urally rather timid and nervous.
The real lilts of the evening were
made by the wind artist and thunder
generator. The Trircne cannot give
the names of these young men as thev
were not on the programme.

OUR
NEED FOR THE CHURCH OF GOD
School Houses Are Needed for the In
struction of Man in the Sciences
and Languages, but Churches
Are Needed for His Instruction in
His Spiritual Welfare Results of
Closing All the Churches.
Zlon Evangelical church, iu Ureen
Ridge, was dedicated to the worship of
Ood by Bishop W. N. Sanford, of Hsr
risburg, yesterday.
The church is a neat, substantial
frame structure 30x0' f-ot, with pulpit
rectss and vestioule, finished within
with southern pine, It is furnished
with comfortably cushioned pews and
divided into two rooms by largo
raising doors, which make it very con
venient for Sunday school and special
services. It is u mission under the
uuspicss of the Home Missionary so
ciety of the Central Pennsylvania
conference. The congregation is young
and has toiled hard for this new church
home. They merit tho generous assist
ance of thos who wish to establish
potent factors for the moral uplifting
of the city.
The services were held at 10.30
o'cloek. Bishop Sanford occupied the
pulpit and selected his text from
Psalms cxxli : 1 ' 'I was glad when they
said unto me, 'Let us go into the house
of the Lord." "
CHRISTIAN INSTRUCTION NCOESSARV.
Bishop Sanfor&thougiit that Carls-
tisn instruction was nrceisary to the
salvation of man, who must first bs
instructed in the right way before he
can be expected to go in the right way.
I'irst we must know and then we
must do. In order to be in
formed in the tciences and languages
and in the principles of good govern
ment, in order that we miy become
good citizsns aud goad members of so
oiety, we must have a common school
education. In order to do this we must
have school houses and such buildings
as will facilitate the acquiring of this
knowledge. We must have a place to
operate in to get the information and 1
am glad to see that your own city of
Scranton is well provided with goal
school buildings,
Just so, In order to be instructel in
the spiritual things and learn our rela
tion to Ood and understand the inter
ests of our souls, we must have honsss
of worship. We must have a place in
which to operate.
NECESSITY OK THE CBCBCH.
The house of God is therefore a ne
cessity to Christian instruction and
consequently a necessity to the salva
tion of the world, 1 he bouse of ttod
is more important to in even than onr
own homes. If a man should wait un
til he has paid for his own home before
he helps to build a church and every
other man should follow his example,
uo chinches would ever be built. Ihe
house of God is a necessity to the
safety of society aud especially, for the
preservation of the strength of Repub
lican government.
I be house of Ctod sets up self gov
ernment in one's own heart aud such a
man need not tho fores of law to pro
vent him from disobedience. Such a
man is the legitimate product of the
house of God.
The home of God contributes more
than any other one institution to the
value of real estate and hence if all the
preachers in all tho churches were to
abandon this city, and the church
buildings were to be locked up or
turned into busines houses, aud as a
consrqeence there should be no more
prayer meetings and uo more Sunday
schools and no more Christian agencies
for the betterment of society, the peo
ple of Scranton would soon wish to dis
pose of their property for half its pres
ent value.
IT REQUIRES MONEY.
The houss of Ool cannot be built
withont money, and it requires sacri
fices and self denial to build churches.
No money can be better iuvested than
in this way. Onr class here is yet
small and financially week. Since we
have only been here a short time we
need the help of our outside friends and
fissure them that we mean to do them
good. At 7.30 o'clock services were
also held.
Bishop Sanford will dedicate a church
at Lock Haven tonight and at Cedar
ville. 111., on Sunday next.
The great peoplo of this country who
accomplish so much in the affairs of life
have the peculiar fashion of executing
whatever may come to them in the line of
action on the spot. There is that pile of
Harper's, Prank Leslie's, McClure's, He
view of Heviews, North American, Cen
tury, etc., that you have read. They are
a joy forever, byt not a thing of beauty.
Our Mr. Pchwpncker can transform them
so that they will become the brightest and
handsomest volumes in your library As
soon as you read this will you not get all
the numbere together, before they are lost
or soiled, aud bring them to Tm. Tribi nk
bindeiv A few cents will give you some
beautiful books that will take tho place of
those rough and ragged magazines.
