what true friendship should be. The ar

T1IR VOICK OF TRCTII.
Hear now the voice of Truth. Christ
says "1 am the Truth." Honor here as
serts her sway." In the courts of truth
dishonesty falsehood and unfairness are
strangers. 'I he demagogue, the tyrant,
he trickster, the hypocrite dare not en
ter. Shakespeare's Jago cannot piny his
game of treachery here. Judas Is barred
out as well. Hr. Jekyll and .Mr. Hyde
ilounie tin ii cannot deceive this high
judge. In short, it Is no place for the devil
to play his artful games of treachery and
wickedness. Truth would purify our
government, pin to snanie hribery and
oolilical chicanery. It would make Inn
cltlans. It would slop accursed gossip,
neighborly strife, home disputes. .Man

Effort Being Made to Have Cardinal

Take an Aetlvo Part in
the Ceremonies.
Preparations for the consecration on
Sunday. March '', of Kev. Al. J. lloban,
of Ashley, as bishop of Alalis, his func
tion to be coadjutor bishop of the dio
cese of Scrantou, are settled as far as
this, that Archbishop P. J. Kyau. of
Philadelphia, will be the consecrator.
und Kt. Hev. 1 gnat ills P. llorstmiin.
bishop of Cleveland, .. will deliver the
sermon, it is not definitely known yei
whether Cardinal Sutolli will be pres
ent or not. Hev. Father lloban bus sent
several telegrams to his eminence, who
is traveling in the west.
The death, nnd funeral, which will be
held Wednesday, of Archbishop Ken
rick, of :St. Louis, may delay Cardinal
Satolll and hinder him from getting east
in time for the ceremony. The assist
ant prelates will be Kt. Itev. llishop
O'Hura, and in ull probability lit. Itev.
Bishop McDonnell, of Brooklyn. X. Y.,
though the latter hits not been able to
give the assurance that he will be pres
ent. In addition to these members of
the hierarchy, Kev. Puttier lloban ex
pects that the other bishops of the
province, w lio are Kt. Kev. Bishop Alul-
len, of Kile; Ut. Itev. llishop .McC.overn.
nf llurrisbitrg, and Kt. Key. Bishop
Phelun, of Pittsburg, will be present.
Then, of course, a lurge number of the
priests of the diocese w ill be here. They
cannot all t-otne, becuuse it will be on
Sunday.
ADAIITTANCR HY TICKKT.
Admittance to the cathedral on the
occasion will be by ticket; it is a matter
of necessity to do this on account of the
Immense numbers ol people who would
be anxious to lie present. Kucli parish
priest of the diocese will receive a cer
tain number of tickets, in proportion to
the size ot the parishes and other con
siderations. The parish of Ashley will
be amply provided for In the distribu
tion. Kev. Father Ilohun's parishioners and
those of Wilkes-Burre und surrounding
towns were anxious lo turn out in the
form of a parade, but for more than one
reason the project wus abandoned. It
would not be possible to have a parade
as nu accompaniment to a consecration.
The consecration will take place, be
ginning in the morning at 10.::o. with a
pontllicial ninss. Kev. Puther lloban
nnd Archbishop Kyun, the consecralor,
will be required to fust Saturday and
Sunday until after the ceremony Is over.
The ceremony will last until at least 2
o'clock in the afternoon. IHiincr will be
served ill the hull of St. Thomns" col
lege, and In nil there ore expected to be
about U'ilO partakers of It, including the
hierarchy, clergy, relatives and promi
nent laymen.
The consecrallon of Itev. Father llo
ban will be as bishop of Alalis, which is
a small province In Italy, and a suffra
gan see of Koine. He will be like u vis
iting bishop In tills diocese, und w ill net
only when culled upon to do so by Kt.
Kev. llishop o llnru. When the latter
dies Kev. Puther lloban becomes bishop
of Scrnnton without lurther ceremony.
As assistant bishop he will retain his
charge nl Ashley, unless he should come
to a different conclusion later, lie pre
fers to remain there until he succeeds
as bishop; then he will have to tuke up
his residence where the cathedral In his
see Is located.
The church at Ashley Is neat-lug com
pletion and it represents un Indefatig
able tusk at his bunds, together with
the construction of u parochial resi
dence. The church cost $:!"i,000 and the

break the crystal of a watch with that

"Vcs." said the hummrrman, "It can

Mr. ImiImiIh swallowed a whole mouthful

"Hut I forgot to say." h. exclaimed,

nection with other sclentlllc ami his
torical societies furnish him with qual

THE COMMON SENSE WAY.
The old-fashioned way to rent a house
Is lo stick a small sign in a window and
trust to luck. This sign may be seen and
It may not. The chances are that it
will not bo seen by those you want to sen
It. How much easier it would be to put
in "House for Bent" advertisement in The
Tribune's "want" columns, where il will
reach every house-hunter In Scranton.
THE CHESS CHAMPIONS.
AVIIhclm Sielnltz has just written from
St. Petersburg to the Hastings Chess club
with reference to its offer of floii. Hint be
has forwarded It to Lusker at Moscow,
but that consideration of the propnsUioti
must lie postponed im- me reason that they
both Jiave pledged tluimselve to uccept
the preliminary conditions named by the
.Moscow Chess club, the most Important of
which Is-ing that -the chess club does
not claim from the players property right
to tho games. He also adds the report
that a. wealthy Russian has stibsci-ibcd
u,ini rubles to have the match played nt
Moscow. The inatch may be postponed
until September. The two consultation
games played at St. Petersburg after the
tournament wei-e both won by Plllsbiiry
und Lusker, playing ns allies, against
Tschlgoiiii und Stelnit-. The tirst wus a
Vienna game, In which Tschlgoiiii titnl
Sleinll-. had the while forces. Piilsbuiy
iiiiiI Lusker introduced Hie novelty of I
and ti T, on their fourth move, and, niter
sacrillcing a pawn. Initialed a quick n'
tnck on tile w hite king's side. The game
was Very excliiug, and finally the veterans
were forced to resign ufier llfty-two
moves. For the second encontcr, pllls
bury und Itsker played un Fvtins gam Sit
on Tschlgoiiii and Slelnliz. who declined
to adopt the compromised defence, upon
while's offer of a third pawn. The black
allien succeeded in casting on their four
teenth move, but un unceu.dng attack,
hotly kept up, forced them backward,
and aflei- a desperate bill unavailing sal
ly of black's queen's bishop, which was
given up, the veterans again struck their
colors on while's I blrty-tirst move.

time since I procured a bottle of "Mys
