Editor of Thk TimirHE: Sir: Kindly permit me .n correct a couple ot typographical errors which crept into my article under the above title on Wednesday. First, instead of 'nothing could be "more" further from the troth' as the types made me to say the manuscript moaut to say 'nothing conld be mnch further from the truth.' But the second error 1b of greater importanoe from scientiflo point, inasmuch as it changes the meaning entirely, and were it not for this I would not have troublod you. In speaking ot the earth being divided into two equal parts, it should read 'ISO degrees of sun,' and not '180 dogrees of "the" sun.

FRANC T- VAIL Ladles Are Enthusiastic in the Cause of TemDerance Reports of Last Year Very Satisfactory Excellent Addresses Upon the Work of the Convention Mrs. Clara Hoffman, of Missouri, Will Speak. in-Scranton. The eighth aim a si convention of the Lackawanna County Women's Chris tian Temperance union Jopeued at the Methodist Episcopal church, Moscow, yesterday afternoon nnder the presi dency of Mrs. D. B. Hand, of Scranton. Mrs. M. Dopue conducted , the devo tional exercises. Mrs. Emma Stanley, on behalf of the local unions delivered an address of welcome in which she dealt with the question of how best to overcome the legalized liquor traffic, and thought the day was not far distant when the state would no more license a in an to sell drink than license hi in to steal a man's jswolry, and quoted Lord Roseberry's utterance: "If the state does not con trol the liquor traffio the liqnor traffic wi.ll soon control the state." Inclos ing her address, she said: ''Let us take 'Home, Sweet Home' aa our motto and rally around it all seutious to meet the foe and fight for the great cause, which is dally growing " Rev. S. C. Simpkins, pastor of the church, greeted them as part ot a mighty army arrayed in constant bat tle against tho deadly foe. Already the power of women in their battle for purity was heard iu the cries of victory from Kentucky. He not only offered a hearty welcome to the delegates, but bis deepest sympathy in their great work. MRS. VAIL'S REMARKS. Mrs, Franc T. Vail, of Scranton, re sponded on behalf of the union and said that it seemed almost unnecessary for those who had preceded her upon the platform to express such words of welcome to members of their own households. Continuing, she said: 'Oar county convention plays an important part in the building up aud fostering of that spirit ot unity and co operation without which, organized work lacks vital power and effective ness. We ' expect in this session to have, in a great degree, the elements which we need for encouragement and instruction. A convention is certainly the fountain from which comes enthu siasm that inspires great enterprises. We come today to learn from each other the lessons of experience, sacri fice, patience and endurance and other lessons which come to a band of such true and faithful workers. Oh that we might be filled with the fire of en thusiasm to stir up the church which already bewails the deadness and inac tivity of its people. They want a res urrection time in the shape of a re vival. God, hasten the day when we, as an organization with other women of equal qualification, may have the power and desire to enter the temple ot law through the gateway of poli tics. ONLY A (JUESTIOX OF TIME. ' "We are not dead ;tbe steady thump, thump, thump of the union hammer is heard and lelt eontinnatlv in tue tit- teen different sections of the county and never does it fail in bitting the uait upon the head and it is only a mat ter of time, when we shall take poses- sion of the guns of power. Our object today is to strengthen each other and encourage those who may have crown weary or faint hearted. Let ui help each other to so adjust the invincible armor of Qod that we may be able to stand against the men ot thedevil for we wrestle not agaiust nasu and blood but against principalities, and powers and against the ruler of darkness of this world. Let us look forth and with joyful anticipations to the time when we shall meet in the tfreat convention whore we shall have the privilege of laying all our sheaves . at the feet of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." OTIIElt ADDRESSES DELIVERED. The presidential address was then de livered by Mrs. D, B. Hand, who dis cussed the main features of the work of tho past year and work of the con vention. The report of the corresponding sec retary was read showing that there were 379 active members and forty-two honorary members. Seventy new mem bers wore recorded during the pnet year. A new lojge at lireen itiage bad been organized during the past year with thirty members. The treas urer's report showed a satisfactory con dition of finances. The president called upon W. F. Cloineuts. J, E. Loveland and Rev. HenTy Wardlo, of Moscow, to address the meeting and their remarks were highly appreciated.. The reports of unions were then read in rotation and Indicated a remarkable progress of the union throughout the country. The various committees- for the en suing year were named by the presi dent, Mrs. Goodwin, of Groen Ridge, sung "Abide Will Me" with excellent lasie. The President then introduced Mrs. Clara Hoffman, ot Missouri, who ad dressed the meeting and congratulated the meeting upon tne healthy condi tion of the union in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Hoffman will address a meeting at the Frothingham on Friday and at Elm Park church on bnnday evening. The evening session was called to or der at 7.30 when Mrs. T. B.

It has seemed - de sirable for Borne time to have a photo engraving establishment in Scranton us merchants and printers now have to send to New York or to Philadelphia to have such work don in an artistic and workman like manner. This occasions considerable delay. Some prominent Scrantoniaas have therefore purchased in New York the complete machinery and outfit for mnl.-inrr tfca flnant bind nt wnrlr In that line and will start a manufactory here tnorougmy eojiippea wun electric lights and motors for day and night work.

Mrs. William Ruble, of 420 BlickeDS court, on the West Side, proprietress of a boarding bouse, paid a visit to police headquarters yesterday and told the police that a young man, well dressed and ot respectable demeanor, called at her house at noon the day be fore and asked for board. . He said be would pay his board - in ad vance, was at once shown to his room. He remained with the exeuss that he had sore feet and wished to change his socks. That was the last Mrs. Ruhle saw of him. One of her neighbors told her that the man was seen leaving the bouse in a hurried and suspicious man ner. When she went upstairs her hus band's watch aud chaid and a pooket book containing $! were missing. The sneak thiet's ago is about 25, his height medium and he wore green glasses. Tho value of the watch is $35. At the Theaters. 1 Powell, the illusionist and wonder worker, gave a splendid exhibition ot what in the past was known as "black art." at the Academy of Music last night. He proved his right to stand in the same cIhs? as Keller and Herr mann by the cleverness with which he performed the most difficult and amaz ing tricks. Ilia rapid transit or substitution, Noah's ark and the inceration illus ions are among the most wonderfnl ever seen in the city. They amazad theandience. Aside from these illus ions, the sleight of hand performance was extremely clever. ttt Tonight "The Trolley System" will be seen at the Academy of Music The company.'contains Robert Garnolla and Richard Garnella, who some years ago appeared in this city as unequaled acrobats. The production will be given with more pretention than usual in performances of this class, as each act is set with special scenery. The Garnellas will be assisted by Annie Russel, who was last with Hallen and Hart, Annie Ott, J. linn t, Lea Michael, Harry Hiuip and others in minor char acters. ttt It is probable that no lecturer ever had more recalls to lecture than the eloquent Colonel Bain, who will speak iu the Frothingham tonight. He holds his audience as if by a spell until the echoes of li'.s last words have died away. Bishop Vincent says of Bain: 'Ho is a man of superior ability. You need not fear to put him on any platform in America." The Louisville Courier-Journal aays: "He is every inch a true man and his views are tempered with kindness." Ttt "In the Name of the Czar," which will be seen at the Academy on Satur day evening, deals with a Russian question, and the scene is laid in Russia, but many of tho characters are American. .Edward Braut, a young actor of great prominence, will essay the leading role, and the company throngbout is said to be strong, ttt The appearance of Frederick Warde and Louis James in a performance of "Julius Caesar" nt the . Frothingham theater next Monday evening is a guarantee of an interesting aud in structive entertainment to all lovers of the drama in its best form. These two stars bold an enviable position in tho dramatio world, not only for their abilities but alto for the geneial ex cellency of their company and the completeness as to the detail of their performances, Lately they have been elaborating upon the staging of their plays and are credited with having a num ber of beautiful productions in their repertoire, prominvnt among which is "Julius C&'sar." The feature in this play is in the third act, representing the senate chamber of the capitol at Rome, which was modeled from the most reliable authorities on Roman architecture and construction. The Frothingham stage is adapted in spaci ousness to set these grand spectacles correctly and historically complete. Sale of seats and boxes commences Friday morning at 9 o'clock at the box office. , ttt Marie Wainwright's new play, "Daughters of Eve," which she will present at the Academy on Monday, Sept. 24, was written expressly for her by A. E. Lancaster and Julian Mag nus, authors of the Union Square thea ter success, "Conscience." While the primary object of these gentlemen was to make au interesting play, it is said their treatment of the theme has shown a high moral and nrtistio purpose. The power of love to enoble the good and to strengthen tho weak is clnarly shown. The performance will be at tended by a number of Elks in full evening dress. Bauer's orchestra will be enlarged for tlie occasion and Sura merhill will give a cornet solo, and Bauscbman a flute solo. t t t "Three Odd Sports from Oklohoma" is one of a score of new vocal eccen tricities in "Daffy's Blunders," the new play which is said to give Comedian Barney Ferguson n livelier and bettor entertainment than the "funny little man" has ever boosted, and everyone knows he bas bad Borne rattlers.

Eli THE P KM CongreUation of Rev. August Lange's Cliiircn . Refuses His Resignation ' RESIGNATION OF FOUR ELDERS They Severed Their Relations with the Church Because the Pastor's Resignation Was Not Accepted. Miss Laura Pfeifer, Wbo Preferred the Charges, Did Not Materialize. A. quietus was last night put upon the slanderous gossiping against the character of Rev. August Lange, of the Hickory Street Presbyterian cburcb, which has been freely circu lated among the congregation by cer tain disaffected members of the church. A few months ago Mr. Lange began to realize that a contingent of the con gregation was working against him and be concluded that there was noth ing left for bim to do but sever his re lations with the church. Four of the elders became openly opposed to bim, and they left no stone unturned to militate aniust bim.. They were Peter Hartman, Fred Keilerman, Jacob Em ich and John liulin, sr., and recently they insisted that Mr. Lange must be deposed. Their chance came when Miss Laura Pfeifer, a sister of Mrs. C. L. Wiso waesser, complained of the usdue fa miliarity of Mr. Lange on one occasion of her visit to his house. She asserted that the preacher demeaned himself scandalously toward her but she re sented his insinuations. When these four elders her story they demanded Mr. Lange's resignation. The remain der of the board of elders however re fused to heed the gossips aud took no notice of the attacks on their pastor, Mr. Lange denied In toto tho charges preferred by Miss Pfeifer and in this way the matter rested for a few months. THE FIRST TROUBLE. A Tribune reporter interviewed Mr. Lange last night after the meeting. He said that one Sunday a few months ago he delivered a sermon on the Lord's prayer. His remarks were excepted to by these elders and tbey waited upon him to change hit treatment of that particular subject to the way they thought it should be dealt with. His refusal was the beginning of the temp est, and since then bis every action has been observed with close scrutiny. The trouble became so prominent that Mr. Lange decided to resign, and after the morning services last Sunday he read his resignation from the pulpit. ine elders waited upon him, those who had confidence iu him. aud re quested him to reconsider his deter mination, which he steadfastly refused to do. So they announced a special meeting for the subsequent Thursday, wbieh was last night, to take action on the resignation. The church ball was packed with the members of the con gregation and Miss Pfeifer was expect ed to be on hand and substantiate her charges against Mr. Lange. All eyes turned toward the door an ticipating the advent of Miss Pfeifer, but she eame not, neither did the el ders who were to press the churgo. The resignation was read and a vote taken. It was voted not to accept the resignation without a dissenting vote. A surprise was theu sprung whn the written resignations of the four recalcitrant elders were read. Some one moved to lay the resignations ou the table, but there was no second to it Then a motion was made to uccopt the resignations and it was uuaui mously corrlod. The next thing in order was the elec tion of their succ.'ssora, Seven names were placed iu nomination and the vote showed that the following four had received the highest votes: Charles Heisuer, Charles Schench, Jacob F. Miller and John Sehneider. At this point Mr. Lange, who had been present throughout the meeting, ready to answer any aspersions agaiust his character. When be saw that there was a unanimous sentiment permeat ing the meeting confident in his up rightness he addressed the congrega tion thanking ull for the manifestation of good will and stating that he re voked his resignation and would labor on for the spiritual welfare of tho church. Mr. Lange then offered prayer and pronouueed the benediction. ' LIVE SPORTING TOPICS. The Waverlv and Factorvville Ban Ball clubs will play on the gronuds at Waverly vv eanesuay next at v.ao p. in.
