P.occodings of the Business Sessions of tho Council. Mayor Connell was unable, owing to Illness, to deliver the address of wel come to the delegates attending the fottty-ninth annual session of the Senior Order of United American Mechanics, which held its first business meeting yesterday morning at the An cient Order United Workmen hall, on Lackawanna avenue. In the mayor's absence, M. K. Kdgar, his private secre tary, welcomed the delegates In felici tous terms, and expressed a hope that their visit Ito the city would be attended with much pleasure to them individu ally and with great benefit to the order. A. B. Saybolt, the stt organizer, delivered an excellent response as fol lows: "Mr. Chairmen and Gentlemen rep resenting the city of Scranton: As the representative of the State Council of Pennsylvania, O. V. A. M., it affords me much gratification to extend to the citizens of Scranton, through you, our hearty thanks for the kind and cour teous treatment that our members have received on every hand since coming Into your bustling city. They have seemed to vie with one another In mak ing us welcome. Our order, while known by the name of .Mechanics, Is not, as that name may imply to many, an or ganization composed exclusively of me chanics and artisans. Men of all pro fessions, vocations and business life are found In our council rooms. The man who labors with his brain as well as with his hands finds welcome. We have come among you as an order whose membership Is composed exclusively of men of native birth but we desire to Impress upon your citizens that while our order limits Its membership to one nationality that there Is nothing In the work or objects of our order that teaches us to prosoribe the man of for eign birth. We welcome with oppn arms the man who, fleeing from oppres sion and misrule in his mother country, and with a desire to better his condi tion and enjoy the Blessings of civil liberty, comes among us with the in tention of becoming one of us, of adopt ing our language, our customs, and living In consonance with our laws. All Should Ho Welcomed. Here Is room for the countless mil lions, and the people of every clime should be welcomed In order that our country, with Its immensity of area, should be properly developed. But we are unalterably opposed to that class of emmlgration that comes among us, whose sole object is mercenary gain, who, believing that liberty Is license to do as they please, have no regard for our laws, or the sanctity of the Amer ican Sabbath that class whose low and degraded condition and habits of life tend to lessen the dignity of labor, and destroy the remunerative value of the labor of the American worklngman. And although our membership Is com posed entirely of native Americans we desire to emphatically Impress upon your citizens this fact that the Senior Order of United American Mechanics Is neither sectarian.' nor political. Men of all shades of religious and political opinion meet in our council rooms, and transact the busi ness of the order without discussion of either of these subjects. We are taught to believe that every man has the right to worship God according to the dic tates of his own conscience, but we do teach the principle that church and state Bhould ever be divorced, believing that a union of both Is Inimical to the interests and the perpetuity of our blood-bought institutions. We feel that the man born upon our soil who has been rocked, as lit were, In the cradle of independence who knows hl8 coun try as none other can know her, who loves his country as none other can love her, and who has an Interest In her fu ture welfare, that is nearer, truer, and far more deeper than all mankind be side, is best fitted to assume the reins of government and legislate for the Interests of his fellow American citi zens. We teach our members to be in terested in each other's welfare, to se cure each other employment, to en courage each other In business, to care for the sick and afflicted, and care for their widows and orphans. These, gen tlemen, are the primary objects of our order. And again, in conclusion, let me reiterate the thanks of this state coun cil for your kind welcome and the priv ileges of the city you have bo kindly extended." At the conclusion . of .Mr. Saybolt' address (the council went into secret spy -; --v Tv- 1.41 session under the presidency of State Councillor R, M. Johnstone, of Pitts burg. The roll of delegates was called and over 200 were found In attendance. A considerable portion of the morn ing session was devoted to the hearing of reports of officers and committees, which were referred as follows: Re port of state councilor, referred (to A. B. Sa.ybnM, M. E. Davles and J. P. Fleegle. In his report the state councillor stated thait tho year Just passed hod been one of exceeding business depression, and tho order, In common with tho many organizations of slmllnr character, had felt Its effects. During the year he had visited over 100 councils and gave a statement of the decisions he had ren dered In all cases submitted to him. The state councillor also made Beveral Important recommendations, one rolnt lng to the apH)lntment of the deputy state councillor, which he proposed to amend by the following change Irt the law: "Strike out section 2 of Article II of by-laws of State council nnd insert a new article ns follows: On the regular eleotlon night for officers In the month of December of each year, each council In any county of the state shall elect three delegates to at meeting to be called by the councils In each county, at Buch time and place as may be designated by the slate councilor, during the month of April, nt which meeting they shall elect a deputy for that county. Said deputy must be an ex-counclllor In good standing. He shall have power to appoint ns many assistants as ho may find necessary to aid him In in stalling the officers of the various coun cils, but who shall exercise no other powers of A deputy. All deputies so elected shall be governed by Article VII of State council by-luwH." An Important Recommendation. The following Important recommend ation was also made: "I would re spectfuly suggest thnt at this session of the State council a law be passed di viding the state Into three districts, to be known as the Eastern. Middle and Western districts. The Eastern dis trict to consist of the twenty-two coun ties In the eastern part of the state, the Middle district to consist of the twenty-three counties In the mkldro part of the state, and the Western dis trict to consist of tho twenty-two counties In the western pant of the state." The reports of the state council secre tary, treasurer and financial commit tee were referred to (eorge W. ltlch ers, G. W. Snyder and S. E. Dunlap. The secretary's report showed thnt the number of councils In good standing was 2H7 and the total number of mem bers on Dec. 31. 1S!I4, was 14.340. Dur ing ths year 3.777 members had been re jected, 22 expelled, 64 withdrawn, and 103 died. The formal announcement was also mnde of the death of ex-State Councillor Brother John Eckstein, of Washington council. No. 5, of Philadel phia. The death occurred on Dec. 4, 1894, and a recommendation was made that a memorial page be placed In the Journal In memory of Mr. Eckstein. The time was approaching. Sept. 10, 1X96. when the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary would be held, and the re port recommended that lit be held In the city of Philadelphia, the birthplace of the order, and the State Council of Pennsylvania was urged to make early preparations to participate In the event. Report of the Treasurer. The treasurer's report was submitted as follows: Balance on hand Inst re port, $3,09S.87; received from State coun cil secretary, $0,272.06; total, $9,371.53. Amount paid out as per orders, $7,325.53; balance in hand, $2,045.55, A recommendation was made by the finance committee that the per capita tax for the ensuing year be placeu at 15 cents per member per term, the same as at present. The board of officers report was re ferred to George W. Derrick, P. A. Frltschman and E. P. Langhead. The following were appointed a committee to supply Information to the press: A. B. Saybolt, E. Pastorlous and Walter Graham. Nomination for officers for the ensu ing term were handed In as follows: State councillor, H. O. Holsteln, of Har rlsburg; state vice-councillor, S. G. Greene, of Philadelphia, and John M. Hornbaker, of Scranton; state council secretary, Walter Graham, of Philadel phia; state council Instructor, M. E. Davles. Subscription for 1,000 copies of the Mechanics' Advocate were received, and an invitation to public representatives to the entertainment and banquet given last night under the auspices of Scran ton councils. The report of the national represent atives was read and ordered .to be print ed In the Journal. The report of A. B. Saybolt, special representative from Penmsylvanla on the national commit tee on the semi-centennial celebration, was also read and ordered to be printed in the Journal. DIVERSION OF EVENING. Delegates Entertained with a Concert and Banquet. After a hard day's work In discussing reports of various departments and other routine business the delegates were glad to avail themselves of the Invitation to attend the vocal and In strumental concert which was held in the Young Men's Christian Association hall by the Columbian Mandolin, Banjo and Guitar club, under the direction of R. W. Neubauer. The club, which Is rapidly advancing In public favor, gave the following selections: "Fantasia," by Chenet; "Belle of New Tork," and "Liberty Bell." Miss Llda Garagnn, the popular so prano, sang "La FloraJI," and, with Ernest Croft, gave the duet "I Pesca- torl." Miss Mame Jordan, who has a sweet contralto voice, sang "O Promise Me" to the delight of the crowded house. Instrumental selections were also given by members of the club, all of which were accorded the heartiest plaudits of the audience Miss Jemima C. Jones recited various selections with great cleverness and was rewarded by hearty applause. The principal event of th evening, however, was an address by A. B. Soy bolt, ex-state councillor, v. ho, in hu merous terms, apdogizcl . that upon such a warm nb;ht and In the midst of such a fine programme, ho should be compelled to lnflbt an address upon them. He was, however, glad of the opportunity to present to them the ob ject, alms and purposes of the Order of United American Mechanics. The objects were, not only in the interest of the men, but of their wives and chil dren also, and affected the future desti nies of ithe orphans of their members. Mr. Saybolt drew a brilliant ploture of the love of country which permeated the breast of every man, and illustrat ed the love of the Irishman for the Green Isle, the Frenchman for his gay Paris, but Americans loved their coun try because they had been rocked, metaphorically speaking, In the very cradle of independence, and here they found men from every clime enjoying the blessings of liberty. After de scribing in most eloquent terms the sentiment of a patriotic American, he said that H was with those feelings that the Mechanics represented the native-born of this country end banded together for the perpetuity of the insti tutions of the country. First Ohjeet of the Socloty. The first object of the society was to secure employment for each member, and to establish a sick and funeral fund. They also Endeavored to aid the Incapacitated member. The society also endeavored to protect the Indus tries of tho country as far as possible from foreign competition. They also gave similar benefit as other similar secret beneficial socltles, and they were careful In establishing entrance fees and weekly dues as low as possible, and yet grant as much support to members as was consistent. . In Pennsylvania, however, their order hnd suffered considerably, as In the time of the rebellion many members offered their lives upon the altur of duty to their country. Speaking of the name of the order he explained that it was not confined to mechnnlcB, and wag not aflilluted with uny labor organization of) the c 1 ?M STATE ORGANIZER A. B. SAYBOLT. present day; men of all vocations, me chanics of the brain and mechanics of the hand, gathered in their councils, and whllo it was confined to those of Amerlcnn birth no sectarian or politi cal Influences were tolerated. Men of all political parties gathered In their councils, but they restricted the mem bership to men born on the soil, ns they believed that Buch men, filled with the love for their country, were best adapt ed to hold the reins of government. They Welcome tho Immigrant. As an organization they welcomed the foreign immigrant who was pre pared to uphold the best Interests of this great country, but they objected to those who were the outpourings of tho jails, almshoiiHes and pauper houses of Europe, who were forced upon this country; men who could not speak the language of the country and had un pronounceable names, and were called by numbers to be distinguished. They were men who brought over large fami lies and herded them together In small rooms like cattle and sheep, nnd yet such were the men who came over to enter Into competition with the Ameri can workman, and whom the order strenuously objected to. In conclusion Mr. Saybolt drew atten tion to the advantages of the order In its military department, the daughters of liberty and their system of benefit insurance, and In eloquent language urged those of native birth to take ad vantage of the facilities offered. The following were the committee of arrangements who made the prepara tions for the concert: John M. Horn baker, chairman; William H. Coons, secretary; John W. Warner, Ira O. Ives, Joseph Compton, S. M. Sloat, H. M. Beam, J. W. Adams, F. L. Swartz. B. O. Alt, John T. Wldenor and John W. Ed Inger. At the conclusion of the concert the delegates adjourned to Caryl's restaur ant, on Linden Btreet, where covers were laid for 130 guests. An excellent and choice menu was laid and the guests enjoyed themselves thoroughly at the well-loaded tables. Rare flowers and Easter lilies were placed In profu sion nn the tables. After supper A. B. Saybolt was called upon to preside and an Informal pro gramme was arranged, which was opened by Edward Noppel, who gave a humorous recitation of a French inci dent, which caused roars oflaughter. W. H. Coons, as representing the local councils, made an excellent speech. In which he referred to the pleasure af forded the local councils In entertain ing such an honored body as the state council. . The Mechanics of Scranton had been fully alive to the honor conferred by them In selecting this city for the con vention of 1S95, and they had all striven to make their guests comfortable, and to render their visit pleasant and one which would, he hoped, be brimful of reminiscences of a happy time. Such a gathering of experienced and intelli gent men would conduce to greater energy and consequent success In the local councils, so that the result of their vlst would be lasting. Recitations were delivered by Walter Graham and Edward Pastorlus, and the proceedings terminated with a speech by J. M. Hornbaker. FORTY HOURS' DEVOTION. They Will Terminate at tho Cathedral This Morning. There was an Immense congregation nt St. Peter's cathedral last night In attendance at the Forty Hours devo tion. Rev. Father Fagan, of Great Bend, delivered and eloquent and Instructive sermon, which was followed by benedic tion of the Blessed Sacrament. This morning the devotions will term inate.

' BEEN TRIED SUCCESSPULIY Appeal That Is Mode to the Public to Assist In Carrying Out This Plan of Furnishing Work for the I'nemnloycd. A meeting of the Board of Associated Charities last night decided to put In operation the New York plan for the "Cultivation flf Vacant Lots by the Un employed." The following open letter signed by Colonel E. H. Ripple, presi dent, and Rev. Hogers Israel, secretary, Indicates the appeal for vacant lots nnd funds necessary to carry on the work: To the public: The bonrd of associated charities, In response to the needs of the day, and In accordance with the experience of many other cities, is prepared to take the Initiative in providing work for the unemployed by means of the cultivation of vacant lots. iMany ftVedy have been made Independent, taxes reducted and benevolent Individuals saved expense nnd a weeding out of unworthy appli cants have been accomplished by this plan. The bonrd therefore appeals for the use of vacant lots In and upon the outskirts of tho city, and for money to purchase implements, seeds, etc., for this purpose. Itesponses In money mny be made to W. T. Smith, treasurer; communications giving size nnd loca tion of lots to itev. Uogers Israel, secre tary. We nlso deslro those who will avail themselves of this opportunity to pro vide provisions for the coming fall and winter, to attend in person and make application for the use of such lots at the ollloe of the board of associated charities, municipal building, . any morning from !) to 12 o'clock. Imme diate notion Is urged, ns tho work of planting must be begun at once to be successful. K. II. nipple, president. Uev. Uogers Israel, secretury. Details of the Plan. A recent Issue of Tho Tribune con tained a detailed description of the vacant lot plan. Briefly, It Is for the purpose of helping the unemployed to sustain themselves; t abates the tramp nuisance, relieves charitable institu tions, reduceB taxes and aids many needy and deserving persons who do not ask for money. In New York the cost of the plan has been less than $3,000. It Is claimed that families can provide enough vegetables for fall and winter, and In many cases garden stuff may be raised for sale. The plan was brought to the nttentlon of the board by' a letter received by Mayor Council from Bolton Hall, secre tary of the committee which last year adopted and put In successful operation the plan In New York. This letter, and an accompanying explanatory circular, was read by Secretary Israel last night. President Hippie briefly spoke of the Importance of tho matter and snld the plan seemed likely to solve a diffi culty which had attended the efforts of the board for a long period. It was upon tho motion of R. J. Lynctt that the foregoing appeal was Issued. Following a discussion of some length It was decided to try to bring the move ment to nn issue at once" owing to the proximity of the close of the planting season. It was stated that crops plant ed by or soon after June 1 will yield satisfactorily. The small amount of funds In the board's treasury make It Inexpedient to use them for the vacant lot plan, hence the public appeal. Report of Agent for .Month.
