Blr: In the Friday's issue of Tbs Trib une we notice the statement that the pro posed chorus choir for the First Presby terian church of your city Is "a feature In church music that ts not known out side of New York, Philadelphia and other large cities. A chorus will he seated on the gallery In the rear of the churoh, facing the minister." The writer of the article seems to have been misinformed on -the subject. In Jus tice to Honesdale, we would like to men tion the fact that the First Presbyterian church of this place has a chorus choir of fifty voices, whinh made lt first appear anoe on Easter Sunday. The organ la sit uated on the east side of the church, and the chorus choir Is sealed In tbe gallery at the south side, opposite the minister. Although the organ and singers are sep arated by no little distance, the harmony Is pronounced good and "no difficulty is experienced In keeping together." Since the chorus choir is a "now feature" In your city we invite you to come over here, and we may be able to give you some point So), once again, 1n respect to Honesdale, Scranton Is willing to adopt the motto: "We follow, but not Inferior."

THIRTY-FIVE HAVE PASSED Result of Examinations of Pupils of County Schools. NAMES OP SUCCESSFUL ONES Seventy Took tho First Examination Held In Liberty Hull -Two Hundred and Twenty-Four Attended tho Control Examinations This Year. A nnal examination In common branches for pupils In Lackawanna county school was held in Liberty hall In this city , on Saturday, May 18, at which seventy pupils, representing twenty-two dlatrlots, were examined by County Superintendent J. C. Taylor and a committee consisting of Princi pals Carrie A. Kenyon, Ida A. White, KUa M. Drake, K. N. Davis, M. J. Lloyd, James F. Foley, W. A. Peck, F. Li. Thompson and F. H. Green. The committee tinlHhed its work on Friday lust ami announces the follow ing results: Thirty-four CRiidlifuites were sucoesafui and will receive the common school diploma The remain ing members of 'the class will receive certificates of rank, showing their standing in. the several branches. The llrst ten made an average above 86 per cent., the one who has the hlnh est mark being Miss Mathilda J. Smith, of Frlcebunf, who made BO per cent. The remainder of the successful pupils made averases below 80 and not less than 80 per cent. Superintendent Tay lor Introduced this method of examin ing tho pupils.

Blakely. The plan of county graduation Is rapidly growing in favor, as is snown bv the size of the classes examined. Last year there were 128 candidates In the central examinations and 36 In the final one. This year 224 pupils attend ed the central examinations, and 70 the final at Liberty hall. Merit of tho Plan. The number of graduates last year was 14, this year 35. Another merit which Superintendent Taylor thinks the plan possesses, is its .tendency to unify teaching in common branches throughout the county ana nx a stanu ard by which n!l teachers may measure their work. It also calls attention to neglected branches. VERY FINE SPECIALTIES. Given in the Theater at Laurel Hill Park.. . The few who risked the raw and chilly wealther last night were amply repaid by the excellent vaudeville en tertainment -which is surely worth more than ordinary patronage. Cyrene, who last season captured Boston by her clever dancing, has been secured at great expense by Manager Laine and presents a marvelous acrobatic and character dance. The Lundgreens, George and 'May, appeared in a daring and sensational aut on a ladder suspended In mld-alr. Morris' educated ponies are controlled by Master Leon Morris and gave evi dence that the claim Is true that they are the best trained body of equlnes in the world. This act concludes with a wrestling toouit between a pony and his negro trainer, and appeared to better advantage than a similar specialty presented here by the "A Country Cir cus" company. Drawer, the Juggler; Cooper, the original battle club manipu lator; Marie Warren, the Boston solo ist, and Carrie Monroe, In a paper tear ing specialty, complete the company, which Is Ibetter than good. Owing to the very inclement weather the balloon ascension announced for Laurel Hill park could not be made yes terday afternoon, but will take place this afternoon at 5 o'clock. Professor Charles Thompson will ascend 1,000 feet and descend In a parachute. The first performance in the curricu lum will take place at 2 o'clock, when Cyrene will perform on the high wire and the Morris school of ten highly trained ponies will appear In a versatile programme of horse opera. At 3 o'clock the military band will give Its first open air afternoon concerts from the park bandstand. At 8.30 -the second performance of the vaudeville company will take place in the new Pavilion Opera house. WIDENING MATTES STREET. Artisans Have Begun tho Work In Con nection With It.

A Joint session of councils Inst night decided to contest the claim of I5.3SU.74 of the Providence Turnpike company against tho city. In 1NS8 the company agreed to remove Its toll gate from Providence square to a point outside the city line, the city agreeing to keep In good repnlr that portion of the trunplke remaining with in the city. Nearly $:!,000 was expended by the city during the first two years, nut the company was not satisfied with the work and claims that $!,3S0.74 had to be expended to keep the thoroughfare In good condition. Last yeur the com pany renewed Its demand for the amount In qestlon. Councils demurred and directed the muyor to secure a legal opinion on the validity of the claim. City Solicitor Torrey having" been Interested In the case before his election, the matter was referred to ox Judge Jessup, who recommended thnt the claim be paid. Nothing was done In tho matter, nnd as the case is on the trial list for today Mayor Connell called last night's spc clay session for the purpose of taking steps In tho matter. The Turnpike company's willingness to wait until April of next year for payment was set aside and Mr. Manley's resolution adopted directing the mayor to engage new council and request from the court a continuance of the case. The resolu tion provides that the suit shall not be contested unless the new council dis putes the validity of the claim. The decision of the councils was the unanimous voice of the fourteen mem bers present In each branch. There was no debate upon the matter, as preced ing the meeting the members expressed the opinion that by court the matter would be settled definitely, and the re sult would guide the city In further con tracts of a nuture similar to the one In dispute.
