tastelul manner, the Stars and Stripes
of Columbia Intermingling with the

Although the number of guests pour

of the season.

At S o'clock the company adjourned
to the nudltoriilm, which was- soon
over-crowded, arid u large and disap
pointed crowd was left without accom
modation. Hev. D. P. Join s Introduced
Assistant District Attorney John M.
Harris, who. In a Welsh address full
of the characteristic Cymric lire, con
gratulated the meeting upon the sue-
ss of their celebration of the patron
saint.
There was no question of the
existence or the Inllucnce of St. David,
who was born in Cal. When St. David
received his education he taught his
coiintryment the religion of the only
f!od, and there was every evidence that
he was a man of (iod. consecrated in
his service.
Thoiightfiillicss of St. PavlJ.
St. David was instrumental in or
ganlzing the cihurolii in Wales, nnd
throughout his life was th" prophet
and missionary of his country. Above
all others there wus one lesson whi
could be deducted from his life, and
that was that he never forgot the in
terests of his countrymen and country
women. Mr. Harris said that he owed
much himself to the principles und re
ligion taught in the old Welsh home
Heferrlng to those who were desirous
of going from the old Welsh aphorisms,
lie said they would be torn loose from
a magnet of morality which would save
them In the crLtleal periods of their
lives.
Dr. J. J. Huberts, conductor of the
meeting, Introduced Huhel O Foil (Mrs,
Hnchol Davis) an accomplished lady
orator, who delivered a pleasing Welsh
speech upon the progress nnd growth
of religious work among the Welsh In
Scranton. An Interval of musical sel 'c-
tlons followed, during which the follow
Ing numbers were given, "Hedi
Llewelyn." bv Eon Fynon; "Life Is Hut
a Dream," Miss Clara Sanders; doela
million. Miss Kosle Jones; "V Hachgen
dewr," John T. Wiitkltis; duet. Miss
Fnnnv .Tone nnd Miss Clara Sunders,
Mr. Harris, who received an ovation
then delivered the oration of the even
Ing, his subject being "Tim Welshmen
In America." lie said thnt a genuine
Welshman was a Welshman all tho
world over, nnd nfter paying n warm
tribute to the Influence of the Welsh
upon F.ngllsh literature nnd In other ill
rectlons In the British Isles, he refcrrei
to the prominent position nnd great In
Alienee of the Welsh In America. They
first settled In this state In lfi!i2, and In
IS02 the Welsh colony became strong In
the state. Among those who signed
the declaration of Independence were
seventeen men of Welsh birth or origin.
Jefferson' ancestors were from the
foot of the Efyrl-Snowdon In North
Wales. In nil the struggles of our
country, from first to Inst, the Amerl
can cltlstcns of Welsh descent have
been faithful and unfaltering, nnd the
great volunteer army of '61 to 'C5 was
filled with them.

Huston Williams, Edwin Doweii und
Edward James rendered a beautiful se-
lecll entitled "Madeline," and were
loudly applauded. The sneaker of the
vcniiiir was Attorney W, (lavlord
Thomas, who spoke no the life of "Hob-
rt Morris." Among other things he
said:
'Hubert Morris was born at J.iver-
pool lu I7M4. lie ciime to this coun
try with Ills lather, and entered the
Hilling house of Chillies Willing, ut
Philadelphia. Mr. Morris soon became
listlngulshod for his business ability.
All hough he bad great love for his
mother country he was an ardent
patriot. He was elected to cnngfVss
nnd repeatedly sent there by the people.
No person was truer than lie in the
Interests of America. He was a con
servative man, and at the time when
the Declaration of Independence was
signed, lie thought affairs hardly ripe
for such action. When congress was at
its wits' ends during the revolutionary
war, owing to the luck of money, they
placed the country's finances in the
hands of Hubert Morris, relying upon
his ability and business Integrity. He
established the Hank of North Ameri
ca at Philadelphia und was the llrst to
Incorporate a national bank. He
showed a wonderful conception of the
lutles that were placed upon him."
A duet entitled "Ship Alloy" was ren
dered by Mrs. Randolph Jones and
Mrs. M. J. Huston Williams. They were
given 11 violin obllgato by rrotessor
Charles Kuebler, and accompanied by
Walter Davis on the piano. A humor
ous recitation was given by Emerson
Owen In a nianenr which won hearty
Ipplatlse.
A solo entitled, "A Son of the Des
ert." was snug In a rich baritone by
Philip Warren. Hon. John It. Farr.
who was to give an address, was un
able to be present.
Welsh People F.lnglzed.
Messrs. Howeii and Jones rendered
the popular selection, "Flow (lently
Deva," In a creditable manner. At
torney John M. Hacris gave an excel
lent address on the Welsh people, re
ferring to the ingenuity nnd musical
ability. A solo, "Tit for Tat," was ren
dered by Miss Williams. The quarrel
scene between "P.rutus nnd Cassius"
was excellently portrayed by Emerson
Owen and Myron Owens. A solo en
titled, "For All Eternity," was ren
dered by Edwin Hnwen.
The toast "Wales," was responded to
by John Courier Morris In n short, but
eloquent address. It was well received.
Mrs. Handolph Jones, Mrs. Williams,
and Messrs. llnwi'ii and James, com
posed a quartette that sung a pretty
selection entitled. "What the Hells
Say." Common Councilman E. E. Hob
athnn made an address complimentary
to the ladles.
The closing feature of the entertain
ment was a Welsh solo given by Morris
Thomas. When the last number hnd
been concluded the tables were removed
and dancing was Indulged In. The
memlters of the orchestra were: Charles
Kuebler, first violin; Frank Slocum, sec

Members of Poor Hoard nt Their Meet
Ing Yesterday Listened to u Com
muiilcallon from Attorney Scragg
with KcRurd to Iter.
Director (ilbbons presided at yester
day's mut.isg of the Scranton Poor
board til the absence of the regular
I hah man, Mr. Langstaff. Secretary
Lynott read a loiter received from the
maiing' incut of the Home for Feeble
Minded (. l-.l'dien at EKvyn, Delaware
coiinl), lu thin state. This Institution
II elves money annually from the stale
and In return a certain number of fee
ble miiii'eil children are accepted free
u' (huiM. Tin' number is regulated
by the I'liiober or legislative districts
In each pool district.
The Se-.-i'iiton poor directors had for
some time been endeavoring to get
three l eys of this district admitted to
the Elwyu Home, but nil their efforts
at poured t 1 In' disregarded by the man
ageineiil of the home. Very curt let
to.! c 1 1 1 1 : , 1 1 1 1 1 1 l; absolutely no Informa
II ill wen received in reply to the let
ters of Secretary Lynott. This became
so tiresome that the board concluded
to enter a complaint. Yesterday the
secretary read a letter from Resident
Physician .Martin Pari', of the Elwyn
Home, apologizing for past discourte
sies. Dr. Hair also outlined the pro
position that If the Scranton board
would take charge of three hopeless
cases now being treated ut Ihe Elwyn
Home, three children from this district
would be received In exchange.
Mr. Shot ten moved that the three
boys, John Atkinson, David Thomas,
and Albert Heine, be sent to the Elwyn
Homo and the superintendent of the
Hillside Home be authorized to take
the boys to Elwyn and return with the
three best boys he can select from the
number of hopeless cases at Elwyn.
This home, It Is said, does much good
for that class of children that are about
half witted, but many children are sent
there who are absolutely Idiotic. The
Scranton poor district will support
throe of that kind In exchange for the
three above named boys.
After Aid from the Instate.
Mr. Lynott reported also for the spe
cial committee on legislation. When
the sub-committee on approprlatinos
was here a week ugo from the state leg
islature at llarrisbuig, the special
committee met the sub-committee at
the Terrace hotel. The outcome of it
was that the special committee of the
board decided to draught two bills and
send them to the Lackawanna delega
tion. One of the bills proposed to place
the Hillside Home on the same plane
is state hospitals, so that it might
come under the miilion-uoiiar appro
priation made hl-ennlally by the state.
The other bill recommended 11 specilie
appropriation from the state for he
care of the indigent insane of this dis
trict. Hoth bills were mailed to Rep
resentative Fair.
Attorney Scragg was present to give
his opinion in the case of Sarah Jane
alley, who Is now in the insane de
partment of the Hillside Home. She is
over (Jrt years of age, Is very wealthy,
and was found wandering aimlessly on
the streets of this city. The police
picked her up, and Mayor Council sen!
word to Director Tropp, who had two
physicians examine her. They declared
her insane und she was committed to
th" home. Her husband lives in Hrad-
ford county, but she does not stay with

When the advertising atmosphere is s

Dull trade throughout tbelegiUmate

attract trade, but theschemers will
have to scheme harder and find new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from comin?

triumph of this store is the triumph of
