Lewis .Made the Intro ductory Addrcss-Trlbutcs by E. 1'.. I(oatlinti. Howell Harris and At torney W. (iaylnrd Thomas. Lodge memorial services, the first ever held on the West Side, were con ducted Inst evening at the First Welsh Congregational church ly Robert Mor rls Iodic of Ivoritcs, In reverence to the memory of the late V. George Pow ell and Elmer L. Williams, two mem bers of the lodre who died during the year Just :assed. The church audi torium is Npaclous and well fitted for the observance. After the regular church service the congregation was dismissed, and the members of the lodge, d'essed In dark clothing nnd wearing white badges with the words "In Memorlnm" in black letters, en tered the church by the northerly en trance. Nearly every one of the 3W members was present. The body pre sented Sn Impressive apienranre dur ing the march from the lodge hnll to the church. Marshnl I). J. Dnvis, secretary of the lodge, directed the inarch. Then In regular order came the ollicera of the lodge, the members and the past offi cers. I'pon entering the church seats were taken In the northern tier. Attor ney W. R. Lewis, past president of the lodge during whose regime the two members were called away, presided over the services. Rev. W. S. Jones, pastor of the First Welsh Baptist church, offered Stirling invocation. "The Unseen City," an anthem, was sung by a party of lending West Side singers under the leadership of W. V. Evans. The Introductory address of AttBuney Lewis va;. deeply Impressive, lie s;oko as follows: Attorney Lewis' Address. A little over two yearx ajio u number of young Welshmen met In this city and organized what la now known as Robert Morris lodge, an nrganlzu Mon that owes ulleglance lo and is under the Jurisdiction of the Grand LodKe of American True Iv oritcs. It commenced Its career with ev ery promise of success and Its subsequent prosperity fullilleil that promise. No light anil frivolous reasons led to lis organiza tion. It has a high aii.l noble mission. Whether thut mlsHlon be accomplished depends upon us. It seeks to propugate love, truth und unity and to elevute I's members mentally und morally as well us socially. It alms to produce men of the world, but Just, noble, upright and liberal men of the wurlil, and not men who live retired lives. Hfttotiy, prejudice and resentment tlml lodgment In men who hold aloof from their fellows. The contention that men should not concern themselves with the uffuirs of others Is a contention that be longs to centuries gone, in now obsolete nnd would be maintained by no man of in telligence. Man was created a. social be ing loving the society of hlH kind and In a large measure dependent upon that so ciety. Everything we see or hear hus its Influenc e upon us. Hence the Importance und theubsolute necessity of ennobling and purifying that with which we come In con tact, If we desire to move onward und upward. Many sneer nt fraternal societies, but they are here nnd here to stay. Regard less of the sneer of the cynic they continue to succor the fallen, ald those In adversi ty, cheer the melancholy and relieve the Impecunious. Golden principles govern their conduct. Fraternity Is our watch word. Not a fraternity that raises a barrier against thoe not of us. We be lieve in the fraternity that recognises not the distinctions of race or creed, a fra ternity that lays low nrtlliclal boundaries, annihilates national nnd sectional preju dices, a fraternity that embraces not only V.'Adshmcti, but ull men; a fraternity that extends Its hands across wide rivers, and even over the grave. Then let us pray that come it may As come It will for a' that. That man to man, the world o'er Shall brothers be for a' that. Tho Lodge's l oss. During our two years of existence wp, as a lodge, have had our hopes nnd anxie ties, our pleasures and our sorrows. In response to the summons thnt will noi take nay for ansyer two of our most es teemed and beloved members nave gone hence. In the bright flush of young and vigorous manhood they were stricken duwn. God In his lnllnlte wisdom saw lit to take away two of our most entnuslas:ic members, members whose lives gave promise of great usefulness in tholr re spective channels. Their taking off was beyond our ken, yet we bowed in sorrow knows no season. and humility. Death is universal. J: "Leaves have their times to fall And flowers to wither before the norih winds breath And stars to set but all Thou hast all seasons for thine own, O deoth." It seeks alike the peasant in his hut. and the prince In Ma palace, the minor In the dark and gloomy caverns of the earth, the chilil In tile sunshine, ami the mariner In the storm. It sought nnd found our brothers. We miss their genial smile, their kindly voices and their ready hands. Their chairs are now empty, yet they live In our memo ries. We mourn for them. No one but mourns. "There is no flock, however, watched and tended. But one dead lamb is there; There is no fireside, howsoe'er defended, l.'iii has one vacant rliuir." The first sharp pang of grief have passed away and sorrow takes tier hold to strengthen, to subdue, to chasten. In accordance with the principles we profess we gather here tonlu-ht to pubHc ly attest our appreciation of the charac ters and lives of those who no longer re spond to our roll cull. With feelings of deep reverence we mnke. our annual pll grlmnge to tho tombs of our beloved deatl. We are not here to entertain, buf to pay our tribute of respect to the memory of those of us who have gone on before and to weave chaplets to their worth. On this solemn occasion we ask you to bow with us In respect. On our pilgrim age we ask you to accompany us with reverence and sorrow thnt you may return the better for your Journey. Morris Thomas sang "Pray For ITs," an affective selection of nacred music. The singers' soulful Voice struck a sym pathetic chord In all present. E. E. Robathan, perhaps the closest friend of the late Professor Powell, gave an ad dress eulogistic of the revered deceased. Mr. Robathan's words were? as follows: ... Remarks by Mr. Robathan. The rapid growth of fraternal organisa tions In this country during the past ten years fully demonstrates the fact that the principles upon which they are sUb lishevl meets with tile approval and en duistfroeut of a lurge number of our Iwst cwu of citlZuNf. Any organization that hus as tts object the moral und meniul development of lis members, the cultiva tion of those principles thut raise rather trmn lower the standard of mankind, that had a tendency to give, us a keener ap preciation of our value and worth as citi zens and that binds closer together those bonds of friendship thut should exist be tween man and man. Is worthy of our most hearty commendation. Such an or ganisation Is the American True Order of Ivorites. of which the Robert Morris lodge is the English representative in this sec tion of the city. Consisting us It does of nearly 200 young men, w ho are banded together not so much for the financial benefits that will accrue from It In the hour of need and distress as for the social and intellectual advantages that are to be gained by friendly inter course. Robert Morris Lodge meets tonight for the llrst time In Its history ns a lodge of sorrow. The year thut hits but recently como to a close has taken with It two ot our most honored and worthy members, and It Is eminently fitting that we should set aside an evening to pay to thsm our humble tribute of resrect. Brothers Powell and Williams occupied warm places In the affections of the mem bers of this organization, their congenial nature and ninny good traits of charac ter endeared them to all with whom they came In contact and they were ever fore most In advancing the Interest of the or der. In speuklng of. George Powell as brother I feel as though I um entitled to all the prerogatives and license thut the term Inpllcs, tor to me lie was indeed a brother, Mnd the few brief remarks thut 1 shall make concerning him Is but a tlncer tribute to one whom I Deemed far more than iriend. "1 sometimes feel It half a sin To put in words the grief I feel. For words like nature half reveal And hulf conceal the soul within." I knew him In the early duwn of life, when the youthful tires of ambition burned brightly and stirred him on to noble ends. I knew him In the happy days of budding manhood, when th cures of life were dispelled by the bright pros pects of a promising and successful tu ture. 1 knew him In those unnuppy nays when unkind fate hud drawn the curtain of durkness before his vision and made the beauties of nature and the faces of friends but memories of the past. Anil as an earnest student and literary character 1 admired hlin; as an educator and teacher I had the most profound re spect for him; as a sincere friend and com panion 1 loved him. His Lite- jry Nature. He was born with a literary) nature and his life was devoted to the development of the heritage he received ut his birth. He delved deep Into the mysteries of philo sophic and scientific reasonings und soured lo distant beighth of speculative thought. Ills mind, like u well-filled grunury, was stored with the products of the ablest writers tho world hus known, und his famlllurity with English and American literature made him a compan ion whose company was Interesting at all times. Had he lived to the alloted time of man his pen would have gained him en tree Into that circle of American writers whose names will go down In history, and his death causes us to think with the poet, that: "There is a divinty that shapes our end, Rough hew il how we will." Elmer Williams, though a few years younger than Ceorge Powell, had early given evidence of a promising career. He possessed business quulitications that are seldom found In a young man of bis age. Had he lived he would have stood in the front rank of the commercial center In city. At school he wus known as an ex ceptionally blight student; at home n devoted son, nnd to that circ le of acquuln-tuni-vs with whom he ussociuted he was known as a kind-hearted, whole-souled and generous eompunion. His death wus a severe shock to those who knew him, for It was but a few days before he was cut down that he was on the streets In the full vigor of young manhood. While it Is hard for his father and moth er to become reconciled to Ills loss, they may take consolation from the fact that, though dead, his noble deeds und pure character lives In the minds of nil who knew him. . And to both families of our deceased brothers I know of nothing from which they can derive us much satisfaction as the lines written by a warm friend of George Powell, "The brook hus a sadder murmur, The tree; has a sigh the more; Rut the life beyond has brightened With a loved one gone on before." Ilowcll Harris' Tribute. Miss Lizsde Reynolds sang "Cal vary," a religious piece. Mls.t Rey nolds was selected from the many avail able soloists on the West Side, nnd her sympathetic voice was fitting to the solemn occasion. Howell Harris gave one of the best tributes of the evening. It was nn eloquent effort nnd we regret that lack of space tirevents the publi cation. Miss Martha Davles recited "The Val ley of silence." The piece is a solemn creation, picturing a pilgrimage through the Ciroat Valley. Miss Davles' recita tion wus given with true fervor and wus deservedly commended. Philip War ren, the well known bass soloist, sang In his usttul powerful and sweet voice. The selection was "Light and Dark ness." During his address Attorney W. Gay lord Thnmus said: "The occasion Is one of mournful interest. The silver cord is severed the golden bowl is broken. It Is very beautiful nnd fitting that we gather here in a service of this kind, and recount those deeds nnd virtues which made our departed brothers so dear to us ail. The giver of all life. In His own good time, saw fit to end their earthly cares and in obedi ence to the Divine command the spirit returned to the God who gave it, and all that we con do Is to recall their pleas ant associations, so that the good and noble that were conspicuous in their lives may be an example and nn incen tive for us who may follow them." The glee club sang "Evening Mem ories," and D. J. Davis, of Eynon street, delivered the benediction. The services were closed with the sinking of a Welsh hymn. The committee in charge of the service was: David J. Davis, John Hughes. D. Phillips. W. W. Evans and S. A. Williams. Cabby Thought it a Good Joke. Ed. Flynn and Lawrence Roach, while In a playful mood Saturday night, assaulted Cabman George Archbuld and to heighten the merriment smashed one of his cab lamps with a hammer. Patrolman Joseph Rlock could not properly appreciate the Joke and locked up the pair in the station house. The cabman, however, took the mutter In the proper spirit evidently for he failed to appear agalrlst them in police court yesterday morning and they were tils charged, I Ire at l.nckawanna Laundry. At 4.10 yesterday afternoon a pile of rubbish In the cellar of the Lacka wanna laundry on Penn avenue caught fire In some unaccountable way and sent forth & large volume of smoke which gave rise to the fear that a large conflagration was Imminent. The Crystals were summoned on a still nlarm and dispelled all fear by extin guishing the blaze with but little effort. The other central city companies were also summoned.

Almanac 1896 no PAGES si CENTS, POSTPAID SCRANTON PEOPLE READ Over 150,000 Volumes Ta)en Out of Public Library Last Year. ANNUAL MEETING OP TRUSTEES Reports of the Past Year and Recom mendations for the future All the Officers Reelectcd-Some Interest. Ing Statistics About the Library, The trustees of the Scranton Public library held their annual meeting Sat urday afternoon In the board's rooms In the Albright memorial building. Hon. Alfred Hand, president; William T. Smith, vice-president; Henry Belln, Jr., treasurer, and Henry J. Carr, secretary, and librarian, were re-elected to their several offices, and all the present em ployes were re-appointed. The report or President Hand, Treas urer Belln and Secretary Carr, which showed a very gratifying condition of affairs, were ordered printed In full for presentation to the mayor and .coun cils. In his report President Hand suggests that councils be aBked to appropriate )1",874 for the maintenance and Im provement of the library during the coming fiscal year. Of this amount $I2,ii'4 Is for tho actual running ex penses inclusive of Insurance, $i"0 is ! for the laying of a sidewalk around I the building, and 12.400 is designed to be used for the establishment and maintenance of delivery stations and : reading moms as adjuncts to the II- j brary. ; Treasurer Belln's report showed that less than $1,000 remained In the treasury at the end of the year, which amount will be barely sufficient to meet current expenses of the interium between that time and the beginning of the fiscal yeur April 1. Statistics About tho Library. The report of tho secretary and 11 hraiiu.il, Mr. Carr, In addition to many other good rnlnts was highly Interest ing for the statistics which It contained. ! In round numbers ir.0,000 volumes were j tuken out of the library during 1S9;,. which is an average of about 600 a day for the acnial number of days upon which the library was opened. Some dnys ns high as 1,000 volumes were taken out, which means that on such days there was a vast attendance at the building, as there Is always a great number who visit the library to use the books, of reference or reading room solely. At tho end of the year the li brary contained 25,:iOO volumes, nnd 7.220 cards are in active use. The use of the reading and reference rooms were taxed many times, especially dur ing the winter season. The present Is the busiest period of tln year. On Sat urday last an even 1.000 books were taken out by honie readers, and a very lurge number visited the reading and reference departments. In regard to the delivery stations em braced in Judge Hand's recommenda tions. Librarian Carr explained to a Tribune reporter thut It Is proposed to esthablish quarters in the suburbs where books can be exchanged and papers and periodicals read, thus bringing the li brary to the very door of the people liv ing In the extreme districts of the city and thereby saving them much time und inconvenience. A person desiring to exchange a book could leave It with the card and nn order for a new bonk at the station nnd the next day the order would be filled Just the same as If the person went to the library. A rea son for collecting and delivering the bonks, the cost of the additional pupers and periodicals and the time of the as sistant libraiiun at the three stations would be the main Items of expense in carrying out the Idea. It is thought that the people of the respective localities wherein it is Intended to establish sta tions will secure the necessary quar ters. May Have to Wait Another Year. The trustees fear, however, Mr. Carr states, that owing to the pressing de mands on the city revenue thin year that they will have to be content to wait for another year for tho additional ap propriation necessary for delivery sta tions.
