HOOKA IS BEFRIENDED Common Council Passed the Annex ation Ordinance on Two Readings. MET WITH MUCH OPPOSITION Arguments Against and For the Proposed Alllanvo Measures Regulating Allen Labor and Wages on City Contracts. Common onnnptl met laat nlffhf flnil passed on first and second readings the ordinance providing for the annexation of the south and soudhwest districts of Mlnooka to the city of Scranton. When the meeting was called to order twelve members were In their seats and It did ance, because two Republicans could walk out and leave the meeting witih- nt a quorum. 1 Tr. TlilHIn mmrarl tr. naaa tVia nt1tn ance on first reading. It went through with a rush, and Mr. Battle arose an-ain and moved to pass the ordinance on Becouu reading. Cantain Molr took the flnnr nfter thf motion was stated and made a very clever speech In opposition to the pas sage of the ordinance. He said it is not sen DUHiaimng, is too rnr removed rrom the center of the city, offers no Induce ment 'to the fltv. lis nltnirulhor mt muoh better than 2,600 acres of waste land. He is in favor of a greater Scranton, but this city has not reached 'tit mat stage of .progress where she an affoi'il tu l.i 'Si rwli nn f anil a Viol tut such distant foundlings. Before the city annexes such, a vast district there ought to lie some assurance that It in not be a tax burden on her hands. What Mlnooka Claims! Mr. Battle renlled and said that Mlnooka Is at present soir sustaining and will not bo a de pendent creaiture In case. It Is annexed. It Is built up largely and populated wun .',;uo people. Its citizens are In dustrious and progressive and are will ing to share the burden of the tax. It possesses good schools, and all that It requires to give It the same general ap pearance of prosperity and progresslve ness is graded streets. Caiptaln Molr on second reading moved to postpone it for four weeks. This was followed bv a motion bv fr Grler to table the motion. Captain Molr anu ine Republican members voted to table and then raised the noint that the ordinance was also tabled. Chairman Nealls ruled otherwise. The ordinance then came up and passed on second reading. The ordinance providing for the grad ing of Franklin avenue with vitrified brick was introduced by Mr. Godfrey and It pansed first and second readings. Wuges on City Contracts. Mr. Battle, of the judiciary commit tee, reported fuvorably on ordinance es tablishing the wages to be paid by con tractors receiving contracts from 'the city. An ordinance passed third reading prohibiting the employment of any alien In and around the public works of the city of Scranton and also to prohibit contractors doing business for the city to employ aliens. Jhe meeting adjourned to meet next Wednesday evening. ST. LIKES XMAS TREE. Over 250 Children Receive Gifts and Toothsome Thins. St. Luke's church presented a beau tiful appearance Inst evening upon the occasion of the Christmas festivities of the Sunday school of the church nnd South Side mission. In addition to the Christmas decorations which had been .allowed to remain, a magnificent tree, specially ordered from New York, was placed In the aisle near the chancel steps. The tree was over twenty-five feet In height, reaching the top of the chancel arch, and was loaded with Christmas gifts and ornaments. Rev. Rogers Israel and Rev. A. L. Urban conducted the services, which were opened by a processional hymn, "Onward Christian Soldiers," after which the special service forthe children was sung In an interesting manner. The carols, "Falling, Softly Falling," "Stars All Bright Are Beaming," "See Amid the Winter's Snow," were sung by the children in a hearty manner, after which the gifts were distributed. A sum of $150 had been Taised by voluntary efforts,' with which a large stock of gifts were purchused. In addi tion to a gift each child received a box of mixed confectionery and oranges. Over 250 children were present. Includ ing 110 from the South Side mission. The service concluded by Blnglng the carol, "Farewell to Thee, O Christmas Tree," followed by a recessional hymn.

Turnouts of High and Low Degree Thronged the Streets Yesterday-Street Car Traffic Resumed. A large number yesterday took ad vantage of the excellent sleighing, and In the afternoon partlculraly the busi ness streets and favorite drives throughout the city were thronged with turnouts of high and low degree. Com fortable family sleighs and flashy rigs of practical horsemen predomi nated, but there were many who sled ded simply for the fun of it and were content to drive almost anything, from an easy-going dray horse to an Illmated pair attached maybe to an old-fashioned jumper or rickety cutter any how, there was sleighing and lots of It. Along Washington avenue tnd through Green Ridge to the open coun try beyond, the jingle of bells was most incessant; but, rather than take chances of encountering drifts in the outskirts, 'there were many who chose the residence streets of the central city or the hum and life in the busi ness district. Along Lackawanna ave nue the merry music of the bells con tinued all day and ait times the proces sion of sleighs was so dense that pedes trians had difficulty in crossing the streets. Elmhurst boulevard proved a popular drive for horsemen with nags which could do as good or better than a 3-min- ute clip. There were no drifts of any consequence and the roadway was fully as favorable for sleighing as the streets of the city. Tho enjoyment of those who drove over the boulevard was made known after their return, and will be tho means of attracting many to the Elmhurst drive. A loop connecting with the .boulevard proper and contain ing a half-mile track was used by many who drove fast animals, and If the sun shines today sufficiently to allow the snow to pack, some spirited brushes will be seen upon the speedway. Street car traffic on all the lines, ex cepting the Green Ridge and Dunmore Suburban routes, was resumed to and from the city limits before nightfall. The number of cars running was re duced owing- to the fact that the lines were opened in most cases only to the city limits and because of a breackage at one of the power houses. It is anti clpated that during today the entire system will be put in running order. Carroll Insulted Ladies.
