What the Annuul Kcport of St. Joseph's Society Shows. "The1 noWofncers of the St. Joseph's society were clouted on Jan. -9 and the statement of accounts for the past year showed a balance In hand of $1,301.03. The secretary,-Mrs. P. J. Horan, pre- eented an Interesting report' In which It was stated (thai 121 children were admitted to the home during the year. After -reviewing the -work-of the year, Mrs. Horan says : "The eoclety has recently Issued a largo number of membership cards, hoping with our bishop's approval to establish an honorary membership wh-fcih will embrace the whole diocese. We earnestly appeal to our distant friends for their co-operation In this work. We know tlhat many will plead their awn poor, and nuote the oft re peated adage tb'at "Charity begins at home," but let It be borne In nlnd ithat In assisting us they are doing their own work, for does not St. Joseph's Home open Its arms to She forlorn little ap- ilicant from the most remote pariah n 'the diocese?" 1 The secretary also pays a tribute to the Catholics 4ind Protestants who had so liberally supported the Institution and made the following remarks with regard to the House of the Good Shep herd : "This Institution endeavors'to be self- supporting, -und when we consider 'the arge number of women. Irrespective of creed or nationality, which is being sheltered hero and strengthened toward better lives by ellielent itiralnlng In long neglected morals, and those womanly Industries so conducive to virtue and happiness as wordly people, we marvel at the herculean task to which this noble order has set Itstdf. The philan thropic daily interested In the eleva tion of erring woman may assist In a noble work, and nerve well Iher own In terests by sending a share of her sew ing .to this house, which In its ex quisitely wrought needlework Is with out a rival in .Scranton."

Wheeler, of the New York Voice, America's banner Prohibi tion organ, delivered tin address lust night in Conservatory hall to a good sized audience. His subject was "Poli tics," and the tenor of his address was on the influence of the gin-mills at election time.

Such a party Is the Prohibition party. W. C. Weeden sang with splendid ef fect the ballad, "Dure to Say No." A motto ut ithe entrance printed In glar ing type read, "The Saloon Cun Not Exist Without Hoys." COLBURN SAID NAY. Then Ills Wife Caused Mrs. Dlmlor House to Ha Raided.
