Farewell Reception Tendered to Rev.
Warren G. Partridge.
fKOMIXEXT TEKSOXS PRESENT
Substantial Purso Presented the Depart
ing Postor-lle Made a Pronounced
Avowal of Ilia Love for Uis Peua
Avenue church CongrcRatlon.
There were several distinctive feat
ures connected with lat night's fare
well reception to utev. Warren O.
Partridge in the l'enn Avenue KapMst
church which matin the occasion a
memorial ou especially to Mr. Part
ridge, who. with his family, leuves thin
morning for Cincinnati, where he be
comes pastor of the Ninth Street Uap
tlst church.
The reception waa a weighty testi
monial of the depiirtlng minister's
great worth and extensive popularity
among rich and ioor in and out i.f the
church and among leading residents
representing probably ill the denomi
nations In the city. tAll these were
included In the throng which densely
lacked the parlors in the basement of
the church. ,
Near the close of the reception a
purse, which had 'been Impromptuly
collected d urine; the d:iy, was presented
to Mr. Partridge- wltirthe request that
It be used for .the purchase of some ar
ticle for his now home that would re
mind him of the love that went out to
him from his old congregation.
It Won an Informal litent.
Only the most Informal preparations
for the event hud been made by the
women of the church, which was must
fortunate, us the largo number of per
sons present precluded tlu possibility
of uny functionality. The large room
extending beneath the whole of the
main part of the church was artistical
ly trimmed with palms and ferns und
pottej' plants.
I'.kwsoms brightened the aperture
of tach window and rested upon small
tables distributed about the room,
while at the western end of the parlor
was a bunk of palms ntul ferns, be
neath which litr. and Mrs. Partridge
stood while receiving many a parting
handshake from scores of friends. They
were attended by the oillcers of the
church und Un-lr wives.
It was noticed that conspicuous
among the throng were possibly a score
of men whose names would stand' at
the head of a list of Scranton's citizens'
most distinguished In business and
finance and in the professional world.
Mingling with them were men more
worldly unfortunate, "several of them
In their working clothes, who had
stopped to bid God-speed to their friend
and pastor and furnish added evidence
that 'Mr. Partridge had been indeed
"the poor man's minister," as he was
sometimes called.
Music was furnished throughout the
evening by Conrad's orchestra. Light
refreshments, supplied by the women
of the church and dlstllmted by young
girls, were served at the eastern end of
the parlor.
Luther Keller's Announcement.
It was 9.15 o'clock when Luther Kel
ler mounted a chair near Mr. and Mrs.
Partridge, and, after requesting the at
tention of those present, announced
that Attorney H. M. Streeter had an
office to perform. The latter in turn
mounted the chair, and. In a very, brief
speech, referred to the regret caused by
the loss of the pastor, and mentioned
that the regret had caused an Im
pulse which had resulted in the im
promptu collection, during the day, of a
purse for Air. Partridge. He described
the money as "a pretty collection of
engravings, Issued by the govern
ment," and without mentioning their
value, announced the donors' wish that
'Mr. Partridge would use it for the pur
chase of something for his new home,
which would remind him of the love for
him by the people of the church.
'Mr. Partridge has been described as
"stoical under any kind of trying cir
cumstances," and he sustained the
comment In accepting from Mr. Street
er the envelope containing the money,
but when he stood upon the chair those
best acquainted with him might have
noticed a new glitter of thy, eye, a
rapid closing of the eye-lid, and a
slight flush to the face, which revealed
a heart throbbing with the sorrow of
departing from a people among whom
he had, in Ave and a half years, ac
complished such a magnificent work.
In his remarks, which were brief,
he spoke cheerfully of the "good
night," which should not be confused
with the last, long "good bye," and
gave all his friends a hearty Invita
tion to visit him In his new home.
Hoped to Come Hero Often.
. He said he hoped to return to Scran
ton often, and had already been asked
to address the Scranton Christian Kn
deavor union in October. He conclud
ed with commending them 'to the care
of God, and feelingly announced that
no mutter how engulfed he might be
come in his new work, nor how much
he might love it, he would ever, In his
heart, hold the Penn avenue church, of
Scranton, as the one which had seen
his greatest work, and had been near
est and dearest to him.
During his remarks Mr. Partridge
referred to the beautiful tribute paid
him in a letter published in The Trib
une's church column Saturday, and
publicly thanked Its unknown author.
THE STRUGGLE OF LITE.

MUSIC HALL THE PLACE.
Convention Will Be Held There Instead of
in the Court House.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the Re
publican county convention will be
culled to order In Music hall.
It was the Intention to hold the con
vention in the court house, and It was
so advertised, but on account of com
mon pleas court being in session It
has been found advisable to change
the place of meeting from the court
house to Music hull, on Lackawanna
avenue, where the delegates are re
quested to assemble this afternoon.
WANT TO SELL THE HALL
St. John's Society Will Meet Tonight to
Take Action with Hcgardto IHsnnsing of
Their Property.
There will be a meeting of St. John's
Total Abstinence ami 'Henevolent so
ciety of the South Side this evening at
In hull, on Stone avenue, that will de
cide the future plans of that society,
whether it will continue us It hus or
disrupt, sell the hull and the ground
on which It stands nnd divide the sum
realised among the sixty members that
are now In good standing and comprise
the organization.
Hie strained relations that .have ex
isted between the St. John's nnd 1 light
Keverend Bishop OHura Is the in-
ee-ntlve that U prompting this action.
The bishop's representative asked
from tho society a deed of trust for the
property, which Is worth according to a
fair estimate about $7.lHM). The society
has refused to execute the deed of trust
and there the trouble lies. At least.
this la the story given out by a promi
nent member of tthe St. John's.
Kcusona for tho Kcquest.
This gentleman said that the deed of
trust was asked for on the pica that the
St. John's, as a Catholic ttoclety, Is
bound to be responsive to the vviuhes
of the clergy, and that for the Interest
and welfare of the society it Is neces
sary that the property shall be so
bound that the bishop can say wnat
shall be done tuid what shall not be
done In regard to the purposes for
which the hall may be rented and gen
erally used.
In case the society broke up, If a deed
of trust were In possession of the
bishop, it would preclude the possibility
of any few men prolltlng toy engineer
ing to break the organization up and di
vide the proceeds of the sale among
themselves.
A meeting of the St. John's society
was held Sunday afternoon, tout It was
not very well attended: however, the
sentiment of those who were there was
tn favor of selling the property and dis
rupting. The clergy or the cathedral
have maintained a very hostile attitude
toward the events of amusements such
as hops, socials, etc., for which the hall
had at various times in the past been
rented. They held that these events
led to the downfall of many young peo
ple. Organized Twelve Years.
The society was organized about
twelve yenrs ago. The lot on which ttie
hall stands was sold by Charles F.
Mattis, deceased, representing the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal company.
at a very low figure In consideration of
the purpose for which It was to be used
and with the express understanding
that a temperance hall should be built
on It. The lot is now worth $1,600, the
hall cost $4,000, and $1,500 was spent to
furnish it as it stands at present.

At last night's meeting of the board
of trade the manufacturers' committee,
among other things, reported the tect
of acetylene gas, and on the commit
tee's recommendation Secretary Ather
ton was instructed to go to Philadel
phia and endeavor to Induce the com
pany to locate here. Tho committee
also reported that the liloomsburg car
company Is looking for a suitable loca
tion for their car shops lit this city.
They are not seeking local capital, but
merely a location, and the benefit of
Seranton's many advantages.
It was also announced in the com
mittees report that Nelson W. Perry,
editor of Electricity, hus been ' In
Scranton recently Investigating the
uses of culm as a fuel. Ho is consid
ered one of the best informed men In
the country on the question of the pro
duction of power, and the result of
his Investigation is awaited with con
siderable Interest.
H. E. Paine, chairman of the commit
tee on legislation, to whom was refer
red the Puterson pooling bill, reported
that the committee was very much In
favor of the measure, believing that
It will be the means of exterminating
entirely the deplorable practice of un
just discrimination ngalnst shippers,

tween companies. The committee rec
ommended that our representatives at

orable means to secure Its passage.
Committee's Action Approved..
The board of trade building commit

was on the recommendation of A. W.
Dickson approved of.
The proiHisltlon of Oassler's mag
azine to devote twenty pages to the
setting forth of the greatness of Scran
ton as a manufacturing center was
rejected when the committee, through
rt. J. Foster, announced that there was
no visible means of tulslng the $L,,000.
Secretary Atherton recommended
that the boards advertisement In
Power be withdrawn, as "only" two di
rect responses had been received from
the "ad" lit six months, one of which
was from the Acetylene Gas company,
und the other from a large manufac
turer in Cleveland. The "ad" was
withdrawn.
The resignations of Simon Rice and
Timothy Hurke were received and ac
cepted. H. C. Shafer's application for
membership was received and referred
to come up at the next meeting accord
ing to custom.
At the conclusion of the business ses
sion the board was entertained and In
structed by an exhibition of the pri
mary electrical battery of Captain C. J.
'Hubble. What most Interested the
board was his mine lamp, which will
furnish a strong Incandescent light for
ten hours, with arc charge at a cost
of less than 2 cents. The lamps can
be constructed for a figure that will
give them a commercial value. t
It Is a Model Safety Lamp.
The great feature of the lamp, of
course, is that it is par excellence a
safety lamp, inasmuch as there is no
flame to communicate with gases. He
also exhibited various sized batteries
for various - uses, such as running a
sewing machine or a phonograph,, a
fan or both light and power as was ex
emplified In a battery designed for a
sick room, which gives a light to a
lantern and runs a fan.
The board extended a vote of thanks
to Captain Hubble for the exhibition.

tling farce with a snap and original
ity that delighted till. Twelve mem
bers, fiv e comediennes and seven funny
men, make up the organization. All
are enterlulhers.
Lynn Welcher Is perhaps the bent
actor, but It Is difficult to pick the
Jolllest comedian. Charles Boyle was
funny, very funny, as tho bogus king
of the W'ainovvanis, and the songs of
Mat M. Mills and Frederick Nalss were
features. The sketch by Messrs. Dave
J. Halpin, "Bony IMoGlnnls." and iMIlls
provoked great laughter. Miss Mar
jorle Fair and iMIss Klla Falk help to
brighten the performance.
Little Irene Franklin won the hearts
of all by her clever caprices. The com
pany will repeat "The Prodigal
Father" this and tomorrow afternoons
and evenings.
