The Arbeiter Vereln is a clun and it
was offered as a defense that these

was on the ground that the guests had
to buy a ticket for admission to the
hull and that this was virtually receiv
ing pay for the liquor furnished. At

to give binding Instructions for a ver
dict of not guilty; this Judge Ounster

In consequence of the new sanitary
code adopted by the last legislature
tho board of health was called upon ut
ita regular meeting yesterday to adopt
measures to take advantage of the new
powers Invested In It and to begin the
carrying, out of the new duties thereby
imposed.
The registration of plumbers and the
framing of a set of rules, regulating
house draining and sewering was given
the most serious consideration by the
board. Secretary Brlggs was directed
to attend to all the necessary details
for the registration and granting of
certificates and Dr. Allen was entrust
ed with the work of getting up the rules
being empowered to invite the building
Inspector an architect and a master
plumber to act in conjunction with him.
It was announced that the plumbers'
association has alrendy drafted a set of
ules and in view or this fact the board
suggested to Dr. Allen that he allow the
association to select Mio muster plum
bers who will sit on the committee so
that they may have the benefit of the
rules in question.
, The new law alHo dlrec'.s that mid
wives and professional nurses shall
register with the hoard and shall be
subject to the health officers directions
in certain instances, which are enumer
ated and which must tie reported. A
book Is to be provided for those who are
to register and a printed copy of the
law bearing on their case will be given

dren the board decided that the board
of control Is permanently responsible
fur the carrying out of this law and
directed the secretary to transmit a

be vaccinated and a register kept of

a household In which there is a case of
contagious or infectious disease and
must not be allowed to return to school
until thirty days after the disinfection
of the house which of course occurs
after' the patient hus been removed, has
died or recovered. With the co-operation
of the school board, the board of
health intends to rigidly enforce this
rule.
Dr. Paine. Health Officer Allen and
President M. J. Kelly made Informal
reports of the Ilnrrisburg convention
of the state r.-iard of health, which
was held during the last week of Janu
ary. Kach held that there was no
board represented there that, judging
from their reports, could teach the
Scranton board in practical matters
and none of them cave evidence of hav
ing acromnlisbed as much as our local
board, during the past five years.

PRAISE FOR DIRECTORS
Auditors uf the Poor District Say
They Are faithful Servants.
MK. .TUCK'S RESOLUTION
It Called Forth a Moat Vigorous Protest
from Mr. Gibbons bat Neverthe
less It Passed by a lour
to Three Vote.
The- directors of the poor and the of
ficials and employes of the district have
just cause for pride In the commenda
tion given their work by the auditors
In the report submitted to tne poor
board yesterday.
Thev .-ommendea tne- very Business
like method in which the affairs of the
district have been conducted and as
sured the taxpayers that they are re
ceiving careful, conscientious work
from both the directors ana oniciais.
The amount of the Item for outdoor
relief the auditors thought might seem
large, but. to use the words ot tne
report, "we believe it ruiiy jusunea
and that It was expended In cases
where the relief was absolutely needed.
Considering the sufferings of the poor
and the growth of the district during;
the past two years, we do not see how
outdoor relief could be more Judiciously
given." Further on in tne report me
auditors say:
n- nnni.l Mimmini that the following
portion of the act of May 13. 187S. be adopt
ed by the board: "Any overseer or poor
director of any poor district who Is or
shull be appointed uy ine conn ui m"--

and found everything In first class or

them to express their opinion that no
institution In the state is more care
fully managed and at no other Institu
tion do the inmutes receive better treat
ment. The report was signed by W.
J. Costello, C. H. van Stort-h and Frank
T. Okell. auditors.
The following resolution Introduced
by Mr. Fuller brought forth warm dis
sension and a roll call vote:
itesolved. That In order that the routine
work and inanRKetnent at the home and on
the farm may not be Interfered with dur
ing the secular days of the week, here
after all reltuious services shall be held
and conducted on Sunday, in the follow
ing manner: Commencing Feb. 10 by the
Catholic denomination; next following
Humbiy by the Methodists; next follow
ing Sunday by the Catholics; next follow
ing Sunday by the Presbyt-rlans, and so
on In the same alternate oruer of suc
cession. Mr. Olbbons strenuously objected to
the measure on the grounds that It
would greatly Inconvenience the
Catholic clergymen, who had charge
of the station; possibly it might be so
inconvenient that he could not attend
to It and consequently the Inmates
would be deprived of the great boon
which they have enjoyed for the last
ten yeara. He explained that the priest
who visits the farm has comparatively
large congregations which demand his
attention on Sundays and tnat unless
he could be allowed to conduct services
m some week day he might not be
able to visit the pluce at all. Then Mr.
Gibbons coinbatted the statement of
Mr. Fuller that the work at the home
would be materially Interfered with
by an occasional week day service. In
answer to Mr. Glbbon'n question. Su
perintendent Beemer stated that Mr.
fuller's contention was quite true.
Whenever mass Is celebrated at the
home on a Week day, the routine of the
place Is disarranged for half a day.
ItcAuiiitino Wi-s AdopioJ.
Nevertheless Mr. Gibbons insisted on
consulting the convenience of the
clergy If It does cost the district, a few
pennies. "They ought to have a little
time for prayer," said Mr. Gibbons, re
ferring to the Inmates. "There's none
of us who have too much, time for
prayer." Mr. Gibbons moved to lay
the matter over till the next meeting
and promised to see Bishop O'Hara in
the meantime to ascertain If a priest
could be sent from Scranton on Sun
days. Mr. Murphy seconded the mo
tion and urged the board not to deal
with the matter hastily, but the mo
tion was lost and resolution passed by
a vote of 4 to 3: Ayes, Fuller. Shotten,
Swan, Iangstaff; nays, Williams, Mur
phy, Gibbons. "The solid four," re
marked Mr, Gibbons, when the vote
was announced.
Secretary Lynott announced the re
ceipt from the state department of a
warrant for $5,"-'1.09, which Is the
stale's contribution to the care In
digent Insane in this district for six
months. This is the beneficent result
of the law passed by the last legisla
ture through the Instrumentality of the
Scranton board and its aggressive sec
retary, K. J. bynett.
Superintendent Beemer reported 166
persons in the almshouse. During the
month of January sixteen were admit
ted, nine were discharged and four
died. Dr. I.?en F. Evuns the resident
physician, reported having treated 90
sane and 47 insane patients during the
month. During January fluht patients
were admitted, and on eb. 1 there
were remaining in the asylum 160 pa
tient!!. An Increase of Sa'arv.
Mr. Shotten, adlng for the finance
committee, recommended that the sal
uty of Uookk keeper John K. Williams
be Increased from J 50 to $75 a month,
but the mutter was laid over owing to
objections on the part of Mr. Gibbons
and Mrs. Swan, who considered $75 a
month and board as pretty high
wuges for a bookkeeper. The fact that
Mr. Olbbons and Mrs. Swan had tlnul
ly found a question on which they
could agree, no doubt Influenced the
board in its action. Mrs. Swan will
suggest at tho next meeting that the
salary be Increased $15 a month.
