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.

Baptist Church Distinguished Clergy

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.

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.

SHOT A BLI E HEKOX.
.
Hare Specimen Cuptured by .Michael Foley
of Ol) pliant in the Moosic Mountain.
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

and manufacturers and they have been
willing to make any concessions In rea

The careful and experienced buyer
has been able to muke much of these
unusual conditions and the result is
that we now have on hand a stock of
fresli seasonable goods that is a perfect
marvel in values for the money it has
cost.
M'.i lll lohheia however, find
It wisdom to offer extra concessions to
secure trade, and they will be made on
bo broad and generous a scale as to
compel trade to seek us out. We are of
fering such Inducements that the public
cannot and will not pass them by un

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."

WATRES FOR SENATOR.
Comments of a Prominent Kcpublican
New spa per In Mercer County.
"The friends of Lieutenant Governor
Louis A. Watres, of Scranton, are en
deavoring to make him the next United
States senator from Pennsylvania, and
it Is not at all strange," says the
Greenville. Pa., Advance Argus, "that
the announcement of his name In this
connection 'has met with instant and
widespread approval. Mr. Watres hns
alt the qualifications for such an im
portant trust. He Is a Pennsylvanlan,
born In the game county where he now
lives, educated In Pennsylvania Institu
tions, admitted to the bar- In Lacka-
wp.na county and practiced there ever
si,ice, and has spent his whole social
and political life distinctively in Penn
sylvania. "He has had experience as a
statesman. For eight years he repre
sented a Democratic district in the sen
ate, and for four years he has been
lieutenant governor. During all this
term of service no one can point to an
instance where he was not found on
the right side. Not only has his po!U
lal life been unimpeachable, but I j
private life Is free from reproach. : i
is a clean, houorablc and able man."
