6 THE SCBANTON TEIBUNE-SATL'EDAT MORNING, OCTOBER 10, 1S94. i BIG RALLY JHRICEBURE Much Enthusiasm by Voters of Price burg for the Republican Ticket MANY EXCELLENT ADDRESSES Attorney R. A. Zimmerman Mas Eloquent Demoerutiu Arguments met and An swered Records of the Can do ten Honest Men. The Republican rally tit Prloeburg last night decided which party that im portant ami pnj;ous district would Hipport at the No ember election. The meeting was held In the Cent nit hotel lia.ll. when the leading residents attended and tilled the spacious room. Thomas Peach presided, and In speak ing of the county ticket dwelt upon the remarkable strength of the candidates, and said it would be impossible to sug gest or appoint a better or more power ful ticket In the interests of the com munity at large than had been done by the Republican convention. The ticket would be elected, provided Republicans do their duty this yeur as well as they had done on other occasions In lighting for the old party which protected the interests of working men, their homes and their comfart. Attorney K. A. Zimmerman, in an ex haustive review, referred to the argu ments of the Democratic party In favor of their free trade policy which he con clusively proved was detrimental to the interests of the employer and employed. It would injure the workmen in all the branches of trade, it would injure him In wages, and In the necessaries and or dinary comforts of life. He exposed in scathing terms the absurd and falla cious argument of raw materials and claimed that the only raw materials were the forest and the earth, and labor In developing those raw materials Hhould be protected at every step and protected by a tariff, which was the greut principle of the Republican party. Local Candidates Considered, i Mr. Zimmerman then dealt with the county ticket and In sarcastic language referred to the paltry attacks by the Democrats upon Congressman Scran ton, the only point which was worthy of attention being the charge of ab sentlon from congress. Mr. Scranton was a better representative when ab sent than Merrlneld if he were there the whole time. If liio Democrats had been absent with Sir. Scranton It would have been a blessing. Judge Archbald, the speaker said, had done more to raise the standard of the Judiciary In the county than any other Judge. Frank demons, the can didate for sheriff, was an honest man, a thing desired above all in tluit ofllce. Thomas P. Davies was the represen tative of the Welsh element who were entitled to recognition, and his expe rience in the important position he held under the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western company would qualify him for the important post of county treasurer. John H. Thomas, clerk of the courts, Is a faithful, honest and painstaking officer, and his urbanity and courtesy, as well as his high efliciency, would en sure his re-election. John R. Jones, the next district attorney, they were well acquainted with, and his career at the courts was one of which they were sincerely proud. Clarence U. Pryor, Charles Huester, candidate for recorder of deeds, and the other candi date for jury commissioner, were also yer who concluded an interesting ad dress amid the loud and continued ap plause of his delighted audience. Attorney Olvcr's Address. Attorney Charles E, Olver made an excellent address and dwelt upon the particular qualities required for ful filling the various county offices and was appluuded as he proved how each candidate on the Republican ticket would be competent to discharge the functions of the various offices. Captain Moir, In supporting the ticket and speaking of John R. Jones said that Mr. Jones was a modest man ami could not blow his own horn but got twenty of Bauer's men to do it for him and they all knew how that worked. There was a greut demand for whisky In Democra tic counties and in order to have the article cheap and plenty of it that purty went In for free trade. In humorous lunguage the speaker kept the audience In a state of mrrlment. Among the candidates present were Frank demons, Thomas D. Davln, John K. Jones, John H. Thomas, who were cordially received and every indication was shown that the majority for the Re publican party at Trlceburg In the com ing contest will be the largest ever given to any purty.

CIVIL SERVICE RULES. . They Will Hereafter Govern All Postal Appointments and Removals. Postmaster Vandllng, of thlscity.haV' Ing been criticised from time to time for not appointing new or additional post office employes, hiring substitutes and for several other derelictions, the following excerpts from a circular Is sued yesterday by the postmaster general will be read with interest. It explains itself and has a bearing on postal matters here: Acting Postmaster General Jones has issued circular instructions to all postmasters at free delivery ofllces dl- recltlng that hereafter substitute let ter carriers must be nominated from the eligible list. Vacancies In the carrier force must be ' filed, where lpractlcable, by the promotion of senior substtutes. No carrier 1b to be ! removed except for cause, ana upon written ohargea flic J with the post office department and full opportunity given for defence. Mo res- lgnation asked for by a postmaster will be accepted by the department. Postmasters must submit to the -le- parlinent all questions relating to ap pointment, removal and reinstate ment of letter carriers, for settlement by correspondence between the depart ment and the civil service commission. The object in issuing the new regula tions were to practically deprive post masters of the appointing power over their subordinates. Officially the or der is defined to be "For the purpose of avoiding unjust removals of clerks and carrers In the classified service, and to avoid embarrassment and an noyance between the department and postmasters." The new order is also to obviate the delay, annoyance and mis understanding that have been caused in the past by postmasters conducting civil examinations whlen propeny should be conducted by the department. FLAG FOR NO. 12 SCHOOL. It Was Presented and Thrown to the Jlrceio With Appropriate Exercises Those Who Participated In Them. From the flag staff of the new No. 12 school on Emmett sreet in the Eigh teenth ward floats the national emblem, presented to the principal. Professor M. 1). McCawley, yesterday by Ai. J. O'Toole, president of St. Peter's Father Mathew society, of Bellevue. The scnool was decorated gaily with flags and bunting, and pupils and teachers were dressed in holiday attire. At 2 o clouh St. Peter s society formed at its hull on Fourth street and marched to the school. On a platform to the left of the main entrance seats were ar ranged to accommodate the members of the society and others who had been in vited. Ex-Judge P. P. Smith, Control ler T. J. Jennings, Professor ueorge Howell, of the high school, and Control ler Thomas Coar. of the Eighteenth ward, occupied the platform with the society. The pud Is marched from the rooms and took a position to the right of the entrance. p;mmett 6treet was well lined with the men and women of the ward as well as many former pupils of the school. The ring Presented. The pupils sang the tuneful anthem, "America's Flag." Principal McCaw ley then introduced M. J. O'Toole, who, as president of St. Peter's Father Mathew society, presented the nag wan a speech, comprehending, well selected language, bright thoughts and graceful and ready delivery. All combined ef forts of men have a specific object, he said, and the flag represents a crystal ized sentiment of the people of the United States. The flag does not signify war. It is now a flag of peace. No cer tain class, creed, or clique of people are exempted from Its protection. In the name of St. Peter's society, Mr. O'Toole presented the flag to the school. Controller Jennings, acting for presi dent Von Storr.h, of the board of con trol, accepted the gift. Mr. Jennings said it was a pleasure to him to accept that beautiful emblem of national unity and public rights. Education has opened the doors of patriotism, and it should be the aim of every pupil of No. 12 school to see that the flag would never be insulted, or one star wrested from Us place. Fx-jndge Smith's Remarks. Victoria McDermott recited. "Flag of the Free," and ex-Judge Smith was In troduced. He contrasted the methods of education of today with the methods or forty years ago, and said that the difference was marvelous. Patriotism, he declared, is, has been and ever will be a familiar term: it Is found In the lays of minstrels, songs of the bards, themes of poets, oration of statesmen, shouts of the schoolboy, and In all Its different usages It never has but one n-.eaulng. There Is no synonym to it. No other word expresses so signifi ed! tlv love of the hills, streams, and valleys of our country, Us people, free inFtltutions and government as patriot ism. Education rests upon patriotism ii ml patriotism rest3 on educalon, but there i. one element In our system lack and patriotism rests on education, but heart, of the courage. The demand of the age is for courage as well as for brains. The way to reach the heart Is ti give more time In the school room to the study of heroic men. More singing by the pupils, a recitation by Pupil Morris Quinn, entitled. "God Bless Our Flag Forever," and a local hi9tory of the schools by James Brogan ended the exercises. WILSOX IX CUSTODY.

Two changes took place at the In ternal Revenue ofllce in this city yes terday. Peter Glnter, chief clerk, was incontinently bounced, and Charles W. Lenta, of Mauch Chunk, was ap pointed rectifying clerk to succeed S. P. Fausold, who Btepped into the shoes of Mr. Ginter. The retiring chief clerk occupied the position for twenty years, and no more competent man to fulfill it could be found, but the head and front of his offending lies In this, that he is a Re publican. Collector Herring came to this city Thursday, and the change is the result (of his .visit. TOBAN SlfllEJBE SHOES So Judge Edwards Said Yet the Ac cussed sas Found Not Guilty. A TECHXICATLITY THE CAUSE A Woman Not a Chattel, Says Judge Lynch. Her Hiisbund Hus No Right to Keep Her In House Against Her Will. John Toban, of the South Side, who was tiled yesterday before Judge Ed wards for the theft of shoes from N. G. Goodman's store, on Lackawanna ave nue, on July a last, walked out from the court room a free and very happy man. Toban was ai ri est ed on July 3 In a sa loon In Centre street, where he was try ing to sell a varied assortment of shoes ,1'or which he wanted $-. The shoes were identified as a portion of the stock of Mr. Goodman, but when the case was triad yesterday the commonwealth was unable to prove that they had been stolen. As that wus the first essential neces sity to muke out a case against Tub an, Attorney Joseph O'Brien, who repre sented the prisoner, asked Judge Ed wards to direct the Jury to return a ver dict of not guilty. The merits of the point were argued ut length by Mr. O'Brien and District Attorney Kelly, the latter contending that there was sufficient evidence that the shoes had been stolen by Toban to allow the cuse to go to the jury. Judge Edwards, how ever, decided that the commonwealth had not made out a case and directed a verdict of not guilty. Toban, overjoyed, grasped Mr. O'Brien by the hand and shook it warmly. Just then he was directed by Judge Edwards to stand up before the court, which summons caused him to look very grave again. l scnped a Technicality. "Mr. Tobnn, you have escaped by a technicality," sternly said Judge Ed wards. "There is no doubt in my mind that you stole those shoes, but you will not be punished for it. Let this be a lesson and a wurniug to you. Go home and hereafter be an honest man and a good citizen.". Toban had been in jail since his arrest on July 3. and as soon as Judge Ed wards finished his lecture the ac quitted mun rushed over to the pris oner's box, got his hat and tore out through the court room with a clat ter that awoke all the tipstaffs and caused their staffs to beat a tattoo on the floor. The case of Mrs. Catharine Collins, of Mayfield, charged with assault and bat tery by Mrs. Margaret Meehan, was given to the jury yesterday morning. A verdict of not guilty was returned, and Mrs. Meehan directed to pay the costs. Charles Fields, a young colored man, was tried and convicted before Judge Edwards of having stolen a revolver from Carpenter's hotel at Franklin ave nue and Spruce street. He afterward tried to sell It in Rutledge's hotel on Lackawanna avenue, where he. was arrested for the theft. Fields denied having had the revolver in his posses sion. He said he met a man on Lack awanna avenue who tried to sell him a revolver. Fields did not want to buy it but would see if they wanted to buy one In Rutledge's place. After the prisoner's arrest the revolver was found stowed away in a closet in that hotel. The Jury convicted Fields and he was sentenced to pay a tine of $1,0, costs and spend six months In the county Jail. Not Guilty; Piividcd Ccsts. Airs. Annie Walters was nrralgned, charged with assault and battery on Mrs. Mary Donovan. The women reside on Robinson street, West Side, and their children were the cause of the trouble. Mrs. Donovan said that Mrs. Walters struck her in the eye and broke her glasses, and hit her in the side of the head with a stone. Mrs. Walters de clared that Mrs. Donovan was the cause of all the trouble and injured her se verely in the row that took place. The Jury returned a verdict of not guilty and divided the costs. A verdict was taken In the case of Nelson Churchill, the cabman, who was indicted for defraudingMrs.Fauny May of a 14 board bill. Mr. Churchill had since paid the bill, and a verdict of not guilty was therefore taken and the costs placed on the defendant. John Mulderlg, of Mlnooka, was tried for assaulting his neighbor, Mrs. Bridget McManus, with a bed post. The trouble arose over a Hue fence. Mulderlg claims that he was badly Injured by Mr. McManus, and his wife by Mrs. Mc Manus. They had to have their wounds dressed by a physician. At 5 o'clock the case was given to the Jury. Not Guilty, But Vay Cost. Before Judge Lynch in court room No. 2, Patrick Coyle was tried for assault and battery, his wife, Kate Coyle, being the prosecutor. They reside at May field, are about 25 years of age, and have been married two years. Mrs. Coyle said thut when her hus band arrived home one evening and when she chlded him for not coming to dinner, he thereupon soratched her neck, bruised her shoulder and almost denuded her person of clothes. Coyle's version of the affair was that when he returned home for supper he found his wife In a passion. She struck him in the mouth with a cup, cutting it. Then she began to scream, and wus about to rusli out of the house. Not wishing to let the neighbors know of their domestic trouble, he grabbed her and prevented her from leaving the house. During her struggles her clothes were torn and her neck somewhat in jured. Judge Lynch charged the Jurors that If they believed the testimony of the prosecutrix they should convict, and that they might convict on the testi mony of the husband. "The wife is not a chattel, but a com panion," Judge Lynch said, "and Mr. Coyle had no right to restrain his wife In the house If she wished to leave. His action in holding her constituted an assault." The jury returned a verdict of not guilty and directed the defendant to pay the costs. Wynu Will Pay the Costs. Samuel Thome was culled to answer a charge of cruelty to animals pre ferred by John Wynn. In opening the case Asslstnant District . 'Attorney O'Nell said they would show that Thorne was employed by Wynn as a teamster. He returned one luy with an eye of one of the horses missing and while no one saw the optic removed it was the general opinion that Thorne did the trick. Judge Lynch said that if the commonwealth could produce no better evidence than that It was useless to waste the time of the court. He di rected a verdict of not guilty and sent the jury out to pass upon the question of costH. They placed them on the prosecutor. Louis Schoen and his mother, Mrs. Annie Schoen, both of the West Side, were tried before Judge Lynch on charges of forcible entry and detainer, preferred by Peter Georges. Last March Schoen bought a property at sheriff's sale, which Georges occupied. He did not vacate as requested, and on Aug. 23 Schoen put Georges' goods out on the sidewalk, while Mrs. Schoen held the gate closed and prevented Georges from entering the premises. Hence the proceedings. The jury will be charged today. SATURDAY PART HOLIDAY. Finns That Have Agreed to Close Their Places at 3. I. M. Saturday.

Whoever may be enkindled with the fire of ornithological curiosity and has some spare moments to visit the labora tory of Taxidermist George P. Frinnt, at Lackawanna and Washington ave nues, can see a specimen of rara avis that Is offered to the beholder not more than once or twice in a lifetime. Last Saturday, Michael Foley, of Oly phant, locally famous as a Democratic war horse and who has so high a re gard for Graver Cleveland as to con sider him the "molasses barrel" of Dem ocracy, left home in company with his breech-loader and hied away to the Moosic mountains in search of game. On the banks of a rippling mountain stream his eyes rested on a genus of the feathered tribe, the like ot which he had never before seen, heurd tell of or read about in any book of fact or Action. He cocked his fowling picceandalmed and blazed away. His marksmanship proved fatal to the bird and it fell mor tally wounded. He secured his prize and was so gleefully dismayed with the phenomenal beauty of its plumage and the size and strangeness of its build that he abandoned his hunting trip and returned home. He placed it on exhibi tion and invited all his friends to see It. He was advised to have It stuffed, so that he might possess It for long years to come, and he acted upon the sugges tion and delivered it to Taxidermist Friant. The bird is a remarkably handsome specimen of the blue heron or blue crane species, and is known as a rare straggling visitant In the woods of Pennsylvania, Its feathers ore beau tiful and valuable because of their rarity. This was a young bird and an Bwered the following measurements: It Is 5 feet high, 42 Indies long, has a body as large as the trunk of a sheep, and stands on skeleton legs, no thicker than a carriage whip and about 2 feet long. The length of the bill is 6 Inches, of the foot Including the toes, 8 inches, and the wing when spread out is 20 Inches from the body to the tip. The book, "Birds of Pennsylvania," states that at a date not far off the blue heron will be an extinct species. Its abode Is nlong streams in mountainous places, and it lives exclusively on fishes. Its long legs enable It to wade into shallow streams and its sharply pointed bill used us a spear Is sure death to the piscatorial tribe that comes within reach. It is exceedingly vicious and wary, and a case Is on record where a Florida hunter was killed by one that he had wounded. When lie attempted to catch it the bird sunk its bill through his eye, and penetrated to the optic nerve of the brain. It lays an egg much larger than the ovary of a goose. Bird fanciers pay as high a price for one of them as would buy a town lot. GOLDEN CH ANCES TO KUY. Concessions That Collins and Uackctt Make to the Publie.

AIDS FOR THE BETTEK HALP Topics for the Kitchen, Heelpes for the Cuisine und General luformutiou for the Benefit of tho Keeper of i: cry True Man s Happiness. Just at present, perhaps because It Is somewhat scarce, the apple is being i exploited by physicians und food au- ' thoiitles as one of the most healthful I of fruits. Its chemical composition has I been found to consist of vegetable i tibre, albumen, suuar. gum. chlorouhvl. , malic acid, gallic acid, lime and water, and the German analysts add, "a larger amount of phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetables." The phosphorous, a writer In the North American Prac titioner claims, Is good for renewing the nervous matter of the brain and spinal cord, and the acids for the liver that llnds dillieuliy In doing its work. The fruit may be eaten uncooked, baked or stewed, without an excess of sugar. It should clwuys be pared be fore eating, even when baked, though pains should be taken to pare It very thin so as to avoid wuste, and also be cause one of the best parts of the ap ple is Just next the skin. Physicians consider the skins of the apple con stipating. A savory break fust dish is made from ripe tomatoes, und a little cold boiled or broiled hum. Chop the hain fine, and use from a, half cup to a cupful, and put it in a saucepan with three firm tomatoes peeled and cut in slices. Add a half-tablespoontul of butter, and cook a few minutes, then add two raw eggs. Mix thoroughly, and cook until the eggs are set; season with white pep per, and serve on well browned toast, sprinkled with chopped parsley. In the opinion of a clever writer in the Evening Post it is surprising that more women of intelligence and ability do not open boarding-houses when they nre compelled to earn their own living. When rightly managed, it is a money making occupation, und one that calls for no greater outlay of strength than many professions that are overcrowded and not profitable as pecuniary ven tures. Never were there so many poo pie who are willing to pay, and pay handsomely, for a place that truly pro vides the comforts of a home, and that offers pleasant, well-kept roomB with good beds, plumbing that can be relied on, nutritious food, good service, and above all, a house that Is free from the odors and the shabblness or the cheap brightness and newness and lack of re finement that can only be summed up in the word "boardlng-housey." As :t is, hoarding- houses are, as a usual thing, kept either by the Incompetent or by the over-shrewd, who have no de sire to make a fair return for the money paid them. The woman who keepB a desirable, perfectly managed boarding house can usually dictate her own terms as to prices, und choose from a walling list those that she wiBhes to admit to her family. Hor office will be no sine cure, but if she lias the necessary quali fications, success Is assured. A Boston cooking-school recipe for white lady fingers is as follows: Beat the whites of four eggs to a froth, add half a level teaspoonful of cream of tartar and beat until stiff; sift in grad ually half a cupful of fine granulated sugar and beat without reversing the motion. Remove the beater and with a wooden spoon, fold In a little at a time, half a cupful nf pastry flour that has been sifted four times, add half a tea spoonful of any desired flavor, press through a pastry bag and buko in the small tins used for lady fingers. Sift powdered sugar lightly over the fingers and bake slowly twenty minutes. The teachers of cooking in the Bos ton public schools ore puld $45 for their first year's work with an annual in crease of S4S until the maximum of $744 Is reached. The director of the cooking schools Is paid $1,000. Candidates fur the special certificate required to teach cooking have to pass a general exam ination in English, arithmetic, geogra phy, United Stutes history, civil gov ernment, physiology, and an examina tion in ono of the following subjects: Algebra, plane geometry, practical ge ometry, physics, botany, zoology, geol ogy, or astronomy. Those holding a grammar school certificate for class B or a higher grade have only to take the special examination, which consists of the principles of teaching, principles and processes of cooking, chemistry as applied to cookery, household economy, and a demonstration lesson. Boston has now fourteen school kitchens. While the practice of cooking Is an Im portant part of the work in these kitchens, the pupils have for conveni ence a little text book containing twen ty lessons, setting forth the principles of cooking: with simple receipts illus trating them. Mothers who are de sirous of teaching their little daughters the elements of cookery at home might find the text book suggestive. "We shall," writes "II. H.," "have a much-needed table convenience when some one invents an apparatus for boiling egprs perfectly that is inexpensive enough to come within the reach of as many as are the various grades of chafing dishes now sold. There is an English invention of Ithe kind that steams etrjrs, to be had in this country, but it is too expensive to be widely used. Cooking eggs by this nice little affair, that turns them out In a delicious hard or soft state, Is as pleasnnt as making tea at your own table, orscrambllng your own eggs In a chafing dish; but the re sults can hardly be said to be superior to the wr.y recommended by Matthew Williams In his 'Chemistry of Cooking.' It will be remembered that In his ex periments he found the albumen of egg was r.'.ost perfectly cooked by covering it with boiling water, covering the saucepan that eontulned it tight, und placing it on the hearth for ten min utes. Let any one who is skeptical of the results compare an egg cooked In this way with one boiled violently for from two and a half to three and a half minutes In the old-fashioned orthodox way."
