THE ANTIQUITY OF IN
Father NacGold rick's Brilliant Lec
ture at College Hall.
LARGE ASSEMBLAGE PRESENT
Illustrations Were Exceeding ly Interest
ing and Contained Mueh Ulstorle In.
formation-Third of Ills Series of
Lectures on Geological Subjects.
Rev D. J. MacGoldrlck, president of
St Thomas' college, delivered the third
of his series of lectures under the au
spices of Branch 35. Catholic Mutual
Benefit association, at college hall last
evening. A cultured ana discriminat
ing audience was accorded an intel
lectual treat on the subject, "The An
tiquity of Man."
This question, the speaker said, it is
impossible to fathom with any degree
of conclusion from the Indefinltencss
of the data. Some have gone into It
from the standpoint of spirituality, but
Father MacGoldrlck would take it tip
to prove tho materiality of the humar.
so far as Investigation and science will
enable, with the complete satisfaction
animating the student that the matter
shall be understood as far as one delves
into it. .
Man was endowed with reason by
God that he might reach Him, and the
highest prerogative Is the exercise of
this faculty; the lowest degradation is
when one Is conscious of unreasonable
ness. Time cannot be comprehended
from the standpoint of years when the
antiquity of man Is the problem. The
geological measurement of the age ot
matter is more accurate. By studying
the degree of cooling that has gone on
in order to bring the earth, crusted as
it now In, from the molten condition of
it when first precipitated Into space. It
is estimated that the time required was
Ono Way of on Estimate
3110,000,000 years. Tho lava of Southern
Europe furnishes a unit of measure
ment. . ,
When this first flowed from Its vol
canic bed and rolled own tho sides of
the mountain Its temperature was In
tense, and as time passed the process
of cooling went on by degrees until
eventually the lava crusted and solid
fled. By computing the gradation of
cooling and then considering the crust
of the earth it is capable of being com
mensurately determined how long it
has taken the earth to cool ns It now ex
ists from its primeval molten condition.
The coral reefs of the torrid oceans
are constructed at the rate of ono
slxtecnth of an Inch tn a year. If the
reef Is 2,000 feet deep it would take
38,000 years to build It. This is geolog
ical measurement. The great Falls of
Nlngara were at one time six mile?
farther down the Niagara river; th?
constant wearing away of the earth
and rocks in the precipice are Infal
lible arguments. There Is no evidence
of Its rate of secession. The early
Jesuit explorers located the falls below
where they now are but how far is not
correctly known. The bed of the river
for six miles below the falls is consid
erably deeper than it Is the rest .of the
way to Its mouth.
The Mississippi river drains a terri
tory covering 1,300,000 square miles, and
only very little of the rain that falls
in this region goes to the gulf of Mex
ico. There Is a largo amount of silt In
the waters of the Mississippi, so much
that thirty-six quadrillion cubic feet
of sediment are brought down every
year in the current That volume of
gilt Is sufficient to cover a square mile
of ground and reach 268 feet high. The
Gulf of Mexico Is a larger basin, ex
tending from the coast of Texas to
the West Indies and from New Or
leans to tho coast of South America.
Its area Is 600,000 square miles and it
Is an average depth of 6,900 feet.
Found Prohlstorlo Villages.
It would take the Mississippi 4.000
years flowing into the Gulf to fill It
up, and If all the sediment carried in
the river's waters were deposited with
out disturbance It would require eleven
billion years to fill It up. In 1854 Eur
ope had a dry season and the lakes were
constantly at a low ebb. In Switzer
land the people, like the Belgians, took
advantages of the low water and en
croached upon the land from which the
water had receded. They build sea
walls and In so doing came upon the
ruins of prehistoric villages, finding
articles of bronse and Iron and the
conclusion took hold that a very an
cient race hal inhabited the place.
Evidences of a race of ancient people
were at the same time discovered
around lakes in Ireland, bupt many
of the fossil remains found In Ireland
went to prove that the Inhabitants were
not lawe dwellers, but took to the
mountains. Another discovery along
the same line was found In Denmark,
but a much more auspicious discovery
was found in Italy in subterranean
caves where savage men lived who had
no time to build houses.
The bones of the elephant, the mam
moth, the hyena, 'and rhinoceros were
found, but. there is a good deal of
doubt cast upon the contemporaneity
of these men and animals. That the
bones of the animals were found proves
they were once in those caves. That
the men lived at the same time as
thse animals Is not so positive, but that
a troglodytlo race existed is certain
from the evidence of fires found In
the caves. The embers had long been
covered over with tempest dust wafted
Into the Innermost recesses of the la
byrinthine passages.
Blood Flowed from tho Mastodon.
A mastodon was found not long ago
In a solid body ot ice in Siberia on
the mountain slope; blood flowed from
the animal's flesh, and was relished by
the dogs of the hunters, as soon as the
gigantic remains were freed from im
prisonment How long ago since the
creature had died, was it centuries, or
was it sycles? the speaker would not
presume to say.
Two artistic profiles, one of the
stratas of the earth, and the other glv
lnfl three views of river beds, were em
ployed to lead the minds of the au
dience to a clearer grasp of the forma
tion of the earth's crust They were
the firtlstic - handiwork of Architect
Perclval J. Morris, of the firm of Brown
& Morris. Father MacGoldrlck ex
plained how river beds are changed
from one place to the other in the
lapse of time.
The stratas of the earth were repre
sented in the Palesolc, Silurian, De
vonian, Carboniferous, Reptlan, Mam
malian periods, and lastly the human
period. The question Is how far back
in that period did man go 7 Was he
extant tn the Palesolc age 7
He must delve for the truth and And
the fountain. As God made all things
man being one of His creatures, can
discover the source and truth cannot
clash with truth.

Fleur de Lis Receive J aa Enthusiastic Re
ceptlon Last Night.
Delia Fox aa "Fleur-de-Lls" last
night made her first appearance in this
city as a comic opera star and scored a
hit, a decided hit. in which her company
contributed to a largo degree, the lead
ing comedian, Jefferson De Angelis,
dividing the honors with Miss Fox. As
much cannot be said for the music it
was not bad, nor was It good; It was In
different Miss Fox has always been welcomed
In Scranton, but this last reception
must have more than gratified her. The
Frothlmrham was filled from pit to
dome with a select and enthusiastic au
dience which warmed to the spirit of
the performers from the beginning and
did not cease its encores until the ring
ing of the curtain.
Whatever may have been the opinion
of the opera In other cities, it was cer
tainly received with great favor here, a
favor which indicates that "Flcur-de-Lis"
and Delia will be well welcomed
wherever they go. As an opera "Fleur-de-Lls"
is not conducive to such admir
ation as will keep it going as long as did
"Wang," for instance; but with the
present splendid company, especially
including De Angelis, and with its com
plete and appropriate scenery and set
tings it seems destined to run with the
public until the time when the public
usually gets tired of such a thing. It Is
plain that "Fleur-de-Lls" was manu
factured for the pretty little star and
such a comedian as De Angelis; the
whole combination was made to cause
laughter and to please and It will suc
ceed as long as Miss Fox's support Is as
good as now.
"Fleur-de-Lls," in story. Is a narra
tive of two French noblemen of cen
turies ago who, while being firm friends,
resolved to war with each other. The
Marquis de Rosoli finds himself be
sieged and Fleur-de-Lls comes to htm
as his daughter, an unknown possession
of the Marquis, and she succeeds in
uniting again his friendship with Count
des Escarlbilles and marries the count's
son, Frederick. The first act Is in the
public square in St. Claude, where is
located the count's residence and above
which is seen the fortress ot the mar
quis, the scene of the second act. The
third and final act Is tn the Interior ot
an old mill, a part ot the property in
dispute between count and marquis.
Each act Is shown by scenery splendid
ly representing what might have been
places of action in feudal times. There
was an absence of any spectacular ef
fects, i
Melville Stewart as Frederick, In love
with "Fleur-de-Lls," was superb in
voice and acted well, and Alf Wheelan
as the marquis, -interpreted well a diffi
cult character. Christopher, an inspec
tor, as portrayed by Charles J. Camp
bell, deserves special tribute. The Char
lotte of Kate Uart deserved the ap
plause and favor it received. Without
exception the other members of the
company were good.
The opera will be at the Frothlngham
this afternoon and to-night. Seats In
the gallery for each performance will be
sold for 25 cents each. The company
goes direct to Philadelphia from here.
IIORAN SHOT THREE TIMES.

A great deal of excitement was creat

not end seriously. Patrick Horan and

VESPERS CM THE CUP
Decision of the Committee of the
Young Peoples' Society
RESOLUTION IT HAS ADOPTED
Reasons That Mo Advanced Why the
Browning Cup Should Go to
the Society of the Penn
Avcauo Church.
The Young People's society of the
First Welbh Baptist church, with
which the Hyde Park Literary and
Debating society has had so much con
troversy over the Browning cup, has
decided to give the trophy to the Ves
per Literary society ot the central
city, thus Ignoring the claim of the
Hyde Park society.
This action will cause general sur
prise to every one interested in the
affair. So confident was the Literary
society of receiving the cup by for
feiture that an open statement to that
effect was made in the daily papers ot
recent date.
There will 'be some excitement when
this announcement Is received. The
Welsh Baptist society appointed a com
mittee to act upon the claim of the
Literary society. This committee has
prepared the following report:
To the members of the Young People's
Society ot the First Welsh Baptist
church:
We, your committee appointed to con
sider the advisability of continuing the
Debating society, respectfully beg to re
port, to wit:
Whereas, There is no night of the week
now open on which the society can be
held; and
Whereas, Friday night, on which the
society was wont to be held, is now occu
pied by a meeting, In our opinion, of far
greater Importance to members of a Chris
tian church; therefore be it
Resolved, That we recommend: 1. That
the society be discontinued. 2. Having
lived up to the rules governing the pos
session ot the cup, as per Mr. Browning's
decision, we claim the privilege granted
by the rule bearing upon the dlsbandment
of the society In whose possession the cup
may be, viz.: to return the cup to the so
ciety from which It was won. 3. That the
cup be returned to the Vespers. 4. That
the Hyde Park Literary and Debating so
ciety has no claim upon it, even by for
feiture. 5. That under no consideration
will It be handed over to the latter society,
notwithstanding a pretended claim. We
have tho honor to remain,

This Is what you find at the Llndley
market on Washington avenue, and
which places It today as the leading
market In the city, If not In this part ot
the state. No pains will be spared In
keeping It as such. Its central location
and the fact that It is on a street not
occupied by street cars also adds to Its
attractiveness as a shopping point. It
will hereafter the Scranton Cash Store,
tlon with the Scranton Cash Store,
which together, will make the most
convenient shopping place in Scranton,
The consolidation of - these two
branches will materially lessen the ex
pense ot each, and while the prices In
the grocery department have always
been very low, those ot vegetables and
fish can be ponsiderably lowered under
the new arrangement. Mr. Llndley
will have charge of the market. Mr.
Spencer, the grocery; Mr. JIfklns, the
frcBh meat, and Miss Mary Ilaggerty,
the confectionery. All of the delivery
wagons of both concerns will be kept
In service, making seven constantly on
the road, which will insure a strictly
nrstciass aenvery service.
No salesmen will be sent out for or
ders, as so many families consider It a
nuisance being annoyed by them. But
the quality of the goods, the neatness
of the stores, the reasonable prices and
the No. 1 service In every respect, will
be depended upon to bring buyers to
tne store, giving tnem also an oppor
tunity to select what goods they want.
We are now In shape under new ar
rangement, and . respectfully Invite a
visit to see our facilities for doing bust
