MANY BRANCHES 01' STUDY Voung Men Who Labor During the Day Are r.ngor to Accept iho Opportunity for.Mcntiil Kdiication-Thc Sub ject Fully Discussed. In lint few cities are free niKht schools suiinorted outslilo such huge cities as New York, Philadelphia und Hoston. However great Kio necessity, there are but few cities of the third nnd fourth class which contain these free Institutions, where young men who labor during the day can on a few even ings, or every evening, each week store Ihelr minds Willi useful knowledge. .Scranton, however, has not been back ward in this respect, nnd at present contains it tree night school which in two years has In numbers! and results d veloped inlo a condition gratifying in Its mnnaKers and consistent with this iirugresslvo city. Allusion is made to the Young Men's Christian association, which has classes and special litstruetorsiu all the nt.udlos Included in the public schools. Stenog raphy und bookkeeping and other studies useful in business life are nlso tiiught. A gentleman particularly con versant with this feature of the asso ciation work, discussed It us follows: IViitures of the Work. "Having1 adapted Itself to religious, social, physical and general intellectual work, the association litis In more re cent days sought to provide for a great demand by giving imitructlon in the evenings to those whose life has not permitted tile education needed for doing their best work. Every one who has examined this department of the association is agreed that it contnliiM many of the greatest possibilities yet offered for growth und Influence. "The limited opportunity for educa tion, enjoyed by a large proportion of young men, is one of the serious factors in Scranton today. Six-sevenths of our youth leave school at fourteen years of age, und only one in thirty-one of the remainder continues till lie Is eighteen. In most of our slates but 4 pr cent., of the youth are in the high schools, and only 1 per cent, in the colleges and pro fessional schools. In short, but little over 5 per cent, of the youth of our nation have that rounded prcpai ation needed to meet tile tviiulrenietits of the best life. Ninety-live per cent., there fori;, leave school before the nge of wise Judgment mid enter the trades, factories and ollices of our cities. l'roldcs Melius of l-diicutioii. In the smaller cities no other insti tution than the Young Men's Christian association attempts to provide instruc tion in leisure hours. There is abund ant means for the young m.in wh-i has time and can give months of study through the day, but for those whose education must coaic, if it come at ull, in the evenings, there is no provl slon. I'Vw of our colleges have realized tile great possibilities of courses of study (not lecturss) provided for the evenings. Only our largest cities can li.ive suoh institutions us the Pratt in stitute of Hrooklyn. the Drexel of Phil adelphia, and tile Armour of Chicugo, Very few even offer the ordinary night schools under the direction of our pub bile sehou! system, and fewer still pro vide for the youth, to say nothing of the young men, any opportunity for the training of the hind and eye In the daily duty of earning a livelihood. Hut tho Young Men's Christian association with its building open day and night, is best equipped to meet this wamt. "There l in connection with all even ing instruction a certain social element which should not be Ignored. After working oijrht or ten hours a day, ho.v ever willing the young man may be to study at night, he soon finds the lifted of some social relaxation. The association offers him Just what he needs. lirnnclics That Arc Taught. "One aspect Includes particular class work, with regular recitations and special Instruction in each subject under tlie ordinary regulations which obtain in study. It is tills work that gives great'-st promise for the future. The brunches here taught are those which pertain to daily biislnes-s life and include generally the foundation stu dies lather than' their numerous ap plications in the trades. For example: Two order of studies may be culled es sential, while another has great value. Drawing In its general principles and Its variations of free hand, mechanical and architectural. Is at the base of nearly all good manual effort. "A good knowledge of liglish und Its use in business forms and business correspondence; the principles of nrith- matic. .ilif.-bra and higher mathematics us applied to commerce nnd mechanics; and elementary Instruction in certin sciences are important. To these should be added, whenever practicable, that instruction in the use of tools which is valuable to every man, and which so often dlKclos'S to the young mun pow ers and LiF'es which he had never known to exist in himself." .Mnnual Training W ill lie Added. In addition to the ordinary branches of study, it is the opinion of the gen tlemen quoted above and many Inllu ential Scranton business men that man ual training will eventually be Included in tho free instruction. Some are sanguine enough to believe that carving and lathe work may be started next winter. Indications cer tainly point that way from the fact that this phase of the educational work Is now being quietly agitated. . - - . (iymnasliim Athletic (ioods. C.

Frohnuin's company in Henry Do MIllo'H greatest success, "The Lost Paradise," will be nt the Frothlngham tomorrow and Saturday evenings and Saturday afternoon. It will be pro duced in Scranton under tho auspices of the Green ltldge wheelmen, anil the Indications are that the theater will be ciowded. The company Is beaded by William Morris, a talented young actor who has thus far In his theatrical ca reer been remarkably successful. !l II II Next week the marvelous Ualdwins, The White Mahatmas,' will be at the Frothlngham, giving a performance each evening. One of the features of their performance Is termed Som- nomancy. It is different from anything hitherto seen, and more resembles what might be termed Hypnotic Trance or Mesmeric Dream Visions. People de siring to test the matter, merely think Intently of a question on any subject, past, present or future. This question la not mentioned to anyone. Mrs. Bald win usually gives an accurate answer, nnd then correctly states the question, which up to that time is absolutely un known to anyone but the person think ing of It. Somnomancy Is totally un like the so-called Clairvoyance or Sec ond Sight as produced by the old illu sionists, und Is undeniably the great est neoteric bewilderment ever pre sented to tile world at large.

(Under this heading short letters of In terest will be published when accompa nied, lor political iun, by the writer s inline. Tho Tribune will not be held re sponsible fur opinions here expressed.) Capital Punishment. F.dltor of The Tribune. Sir The severity of capital punishment Is required and Juslllled, by the siicreilness of human life, and the consequent enorm ity of the clime of murder. It must be admitted that there Is, among certain classes, a strong sentiment against the death penulty. We can account for this when we consider that the death penally was Inlllcted III former times when trivial offenses were considered capital crimes. In lOngland as lute as the reign of (teorge HI people were hung fur minor offenses ami not until the latter part of thai reign was the severity of the law miti gated through the Inlliience of Sir Samuel itomllly. We are aware that human progress lil madejip of a series of oscillat ing movements from one extreme to an other. Hy trying to avid the severity and harshness of former times wc must avoid falling Into the laxity that is fatal to the safety and pence of society. Like the ancient mariner we huve our Scylhi and Charlbdls to steer clear of und to sail in safety we must avoid both; undue severity and undue laxity In the ad ministration of law ure equally fatal to the welfare of society. We now often wit ness people who lavish their attentions and their sympathy fur more on the crim inal than on those who suffer on account of his crime. We can see nil about us tliii tendency of liberty to run Into license, in the Increasing laxity of discipline In tho family and also In- the two great Insti tutions founded on the family the state and the church. Formerly the enforce ment of luw In the stale was strict and unbending, the discipline of the church was prompt and linpiii'tlal, and the family wan regulated according to a stem and In flexible discipline, but now things are drifting In tho opposite direction and It Is high time to call a halt. Many ftates In tho I'nlon have abolished the death penalty, as well as some foreign govern ments, but the Increase of crime has compelled a restoration of It. Wo must not be carried away by an unreasoning and Ill-grounded sentiment. Murders are Increasing all through the coal regions of our state, and It is certain that the abolition of capital punishment will serve to take away a powerful chock thut Is needod nn the murderous Impulses of a largo part of our foreign population who have but a feeble sense of the saeredness of human life. Fear Is the most dlrert and powerful check upon Ignorant and brutal natures. We must Impress upon their minds tho Inflexible and unbending sternness of tho luw. Hut there Is one great dlflleulty In tho way of the prompt and thorough execu tion of the law. Slowness and uncer tainty are two things which are fatal to moral effect in tho administration of the laws. A long tiiul causes the Impression mado by the crime to fade out of the public mind, and the criminal has so many chances of escape from the grasp of the law through the efforts of unprincipled lawyers, who for the suke of money and notoriety, will resort to every subterfuge to prevent the Just execution of the law. so that the few coses in which tho death penalty Is executed have but little or no effect. u. J. wiiiiunui I'eckville, Pa., Jan. 23, W5. MINERS HOLD A MEETING Dissatisfied with the Xew Schedule of Waijes ut Storrs ShuFt Xo. 1. ORIGIN OP l'KESEXT TKOlbLU It Dates from Last Tuesday Wlicu Mine lore-man Carson Posted a Notice at the Shul't-Confcreuco with Super intendent llenjiiinlii Hughes. A dispute as to the price that phall le paiid for mining top coal has caused (-trained relations between the em ployes of the Storrs h-haft, No. 1, a,t PrlCc')U!g, and the Delaware, Lacka wanna und Western company, which operates the shaft. This condition of affulrs resulted yesterday In a meeting of the miners and laborers of the shaft being held In Lloyd's hall, Dickson City, to consider itihs matter. There was talk of a strike, but wiser counsel prevailed. Last Tuesday morning Mine Foreman Thomas Carson, of No. 1 shaft, caused noticed to 'be pu-jted acquainting the miners of the fact that In future there would be a different schedule of prices for ithosa working on top coal. To ex plain mole fully, It was stated that miiurs would not receive Hi? same price per car while loading top coal as 'heretofore. For instance, when the miner works on bottom coal lie i-s al lowed iir',j cents a cur, and six cars consl'Hute a day's work, and It Is pro post .1 whim Ihe works on top coal to pay him 77'i. cents a car and h ive eight cars constitute a day's work. The miners in No. 1 shaft are not all affected by this order as yet, but In time when the veins of coal ure more fully developed they will all come under its provisions. At present there are only live miners In No. 1 shaft who are af fected. : Conference Commltteo Named. A meeting of the employes was held Wednesday afternoon at the hall o! Oeorge Lloyd, in Dickson, and a com mittee was appointed to wait upon Mine Superintendent Henjaniin Hughes und look to him for redress. It waa un derstood thut if the committee did not bring buck a favorable report thai yes terday's meeting would order a strike. At 4 o'clock yesterday the workmen again assembled at Lloyd's hall to hear the report of the committee that had waited on Superintendent Hughes. John Armstrong called the assemblage to order and Vaughn Hlchards, of th-.' committee, was called upon for a re port. He said the committee met Superin tendent Hughes at ! o'clock yesterday morning in his olllee and the result of ithelr conference with him was very unsatisfactory. The members of the committee argued with Mr. Hughes, but to no avail. He told them the mine foreman was empowered to. grant al ii wances 'to any employe who could not make a fair day's pay. The report of the committee was heard and accepted and the committee continued. It W ill lie Arbitrated. A vote was then t.ike'n as 'to the ad visability of a strike and the result was not very (dearly determined. At the suggestion of some of the conserva'tive members of the meeting the strike ques tion wits banished from their minds and a murmur of general approval was heard when some one urged that th matter should be arbitrated. A committee of itliree was appointed to notify the miners and laborers of sh 'afts No. 2 and No. 3 to meet in union next Monday morning at 10 o'clock and then it will be decided what aotion shall be taken.
