surprised last evening at the rooms of
Griffin Post 189. Grand Army of the
Republic, when Chaplain N. F. Stahl
presented him with a handsome walk
ing stick, known as the "Anderson
ville cane. "
The cane is a work of art and as a
souvenir of the Rebellion and espec
ially that prison pen, Andersonville, is
almost priceless. The cane is carved
from a piece of the stockade and was
made by Captain Crocket of the New
Jersey cavalry, who took twenty years
to complete the work. There are three
panels on the cane. The first contains the
history of the Fifty-second regiment,
and the personnel of the regimental
band. The second contains the names
of the field and stall' and the
engagements participated in by the
regiment. The third contains the
names of the privates in the regiment.
The case also contains names of the
colonels of the regiment and a short
sketeh of Colonel Ripple's military
life.
All of this is carved out of tho wood,
nud so plain are the letters that it can
be read with the naked eye. Colonel
Ripple is very proud of tho gift aud
values it highly.

Martin Joyce, principal of No. 0
school, near the Continental mi was
arrested yesterday afternoon by Coa
Btable Timothy Jones on a charge of
trespass and making threats. The
charges were preferred against him by
the school board of Lackawanna town
ship. Some time ago Mr. Joyc be
came obnoxious to the school children
on account of his abuse. It was for
this reason that tbe board desired bis
release, and he was notified to leave
the place. This occurred some days
ago, aud as the teacher refused point
blank to vacate a committee of the
board visited the school yesterday af
ternoon accompanied by Constable
Timothy Jones, who was armed with a
warrant. When Joyce saw I hem com
ing, he dismissed the children, nnd
proceeded to barricade the doors, mak
ing it impossible for them to enter.
Shortly afterward he iippiarod at ft
window on the southern side of the
structure to nrgu the case with the
genltemau. Mr. Davie?, a membor of
the hoard, asked for ndmiltiitiCJ. Mr.
Joyce replied in the following manner
"I will not admit any one of you, and
I advise you not to try and force your
way in. You have tried your best to
ruin m, but I will Btay whera 1 am
until I receive due justice. There is
not any six meu around that can get in
this place. I tell you faitly that I
shall teach. I am bore to teuch. and
here 1 shall remain.'' After some time
was spent nguingin this manner, Mr.
Joyce surrendsr-'d to the officer and
was taken directly to the court of Al
derman T. T. Morgan of the Sixth
ward. When in tho alderman's court,
Mr. Joyce admitted tho trespass, but
denied making any threats. But
through the evidence of Charles E
Daniels and Mr. Davis, it was found
that threats were made. Joyce was
held under 300 bail to appear at the
next term of quarter sessions court, to
answer to tho various ciisrges. He
was permitted to return to tho school
room to procure his belongings. Int
the keys will be turned over to the
school board on Monday evening next.

HOYT'S "TEMPERANCE TOWN. "
A Large Audience Witness a lilt!
Class Produotion at tu Academy.
Hoyt's "A Temperance T wn'' Was
presented before a crowded bouse at
ths Aeademy of Music.
The play tells tne story of a veteran
of t'tie wir who, unable to p$i-frm
manual labor, opens 8 iloon in a smtll
wn. Tne minister, tne doctor, in
i wer an I lh druggist are rail r -
niperiuco men mil seek in van II
w ys to br-iK up me .usius Tu
iloonkeep r uas a hurl lime getting
lung with a sick family, the doctor
refns-s to attend biin any m re unless
he is pai i. A raid is organif ed, his
liquor sn-Z'd and the lalftOnltMpsr ar
rwt.d. The minister's daughter Ruth
ministers to the eick lamilv an I inci
dently falls in love witu John Worth,
who has plenty of money, even though
he does visit the saloon oco 'Slonally.
The druggist falls in love with Ruth,
and endeavors by various villainous
wiles to win her hand, but is, of
course, frustrated in the end.
"A Temperance Town" is, in a way,
a sermon. It is not exactly the sort of
a discourse one would expect to hear
from a pulpit, yet it teaches a strong,
moral Usson.
"And now are yon temperance?"
queries the clergyman of his son, who
has returned houie after years of wan
dering, "No," is the son's evasive answer,
"not exactly ; but 1 have learned to use
the good things of life und not to abuse
them,
This is the idea that Mr. Hoyt has
worked out and endeavored to BUggest
to his audience. It a lniasure ha has
succeeded. The play, first of all, of
course, was written to please, to
create laughter, just as all the
Hoyt plays are. The author has
succeeded in this effort. "A Tem
perance Town" is rich in humor of the
typical American order. Lancelot
Jones, the town drunkard, a very lov
able lellow. und a character common
to every village in the United states.
Few of these;town tipplers are as amus
ing as Lancelot Jones, and none, per
haps, are as heroic. The part was
splendidly played by George Richards.
Lugene Cautield. as his puu, was first
class and provoked much laughter.
Caroline Miskel, the famous beauty
that Mr. Hoyt discovered playing
small roles in Augustin Dily's com
pany, and whom he rescued aud trans
planted as his own leading lady at his
own Madison Square theater, took the
part of the clergyman's daughter. Miss
Miskel is a decidedly handsome young
woman who can pose and dresi to
perfection, but whose acting is exi)
cr.ibie. She greatly marred her work
last evening by sneaking. In dicidsd
contrast to Mr. Hovt's peroxide of hy
drogen blonde leading lady was Miss
Lulu Tabor, whose acting was charm
ingly refreshing, aud who clearly out
shone the lauguorous Miss Miskel so
fur as cleverness and ability were con
cerned. George Ujer, as the oldest
man iu town, and afterward as a
ju lge. did some of the best Work of the
evening.

Probably no councilman In either
branch of the city government is more
popular than Robert Ribinon, the
junior member from the Eleventh
ward, and he is exerting himself in an
effort that will undoubtedly prove sue
cessful and redound to the interest of
his ward. For some time past Mr.
Robinson has been buttonholing his
brother members, but particularly the
members of the estimate committee, re
questing their assistance and co-operation
in securing an appropriation for
a very deserving project.
For some years Elm strsot has been
in a very dangerous conditiou, a large
portion of the strset west of Cedar
avenne making the particular portion
very dangerous for pedestrians after
dark, and very dangerous for thos
using vehicles of any kind. In addi
tion to this, it forma an o;)en sewer
that is a constant menace to the health
of tlie community, it is to remedy ths
evils that exist that Mr. Robinson is
bending every effort in a de
sire to accomplish. He realizes
that the times are not propitious
for building a sewer, but still,
he disires to seo permanent imorovo
ments effected in the ward. To this
end he will ask for an appropriation of
$3 000 to lay a 21 inch pips to the river.
It is bis intention to have the pipe laid
sufficiently dojp so that when a sewer
Is built the pipes already in uso may be
used for such purpose and in the event
of such procee liu, tiie cost ot the pipe
drain cau very properly be assess-d
against property holders iu the sewer
district.
Why He Did Not AttBnd.
John J. Schneider, of the firm of
Schneider Bros., was appointed a mem
ber of the bn lge campaign commit
tee at last Wcdiienlay night's meeting,
he did not ureacnt himself. In relation
to tho question a friend of Mr.
Schneider thus expressed himself yes
terday : "Mr. Scbueider is like a good
many other Cedar avenue property
holders, they will not voto for auy
new bndgos until Mittes streit is wid
ened." Tnere can be DO doubt that
with the advent of spring the object
so much desired will be consummate 1.
The money has been appropriated and
just us soon as Engineer Rose of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company, completes the plans for the
bridge nnd the are nccepted iu the
New York office, work on the im
provement will bo rapidly puhed.

AfUr fiWorlnR Off
now many have taken vows or absti
nence with the birth of tho new year Is
perhaps bard to estimate, but we now
know thai such efforts are futile against
inveterate habit, a habit which has become
a disease. There was u time when it
wculd have been easy to ijuit, but having
neglected to do so the habit continued un
til by the constant or frequent use of the
poi-ion there was forced a change iu the
nervous system which mnde it not i-nlv
possible to drink, but necessary. Theii
you could dnuk a good deal nnd not seem
to get drunk, bat, you ulso lound it neces
sary, to keep you feeling good and you
"craved liquor" because you had become
diseased. Now that swearing off does no
good and the pledge enn'r, be kept, go and
make your resolution good for nil tune by
taking treatment at the Keele.v Institute,
