FOUR KURSES GRADUATED
First Alumnae of- the Scranton
Private Hospital.
AT ALHKIGHT LIBRARY HALL
Addresses to Graduates Delivered by Dr.
V. K Gibney. of New York-Eior
elaca Attended by Large Audience-Diplomas
Presented.
Commencement exercises attendant
u pi ui the graduation of four trained
nurses froftt the Scranton Private Hon
pitul and Training School for Nurses
were held in Albright Library hall last
night. It was the first time for a class
to graduate from this Institution. The
futir young women whose course of In
struction and preparation has been
completed are Miss Nora Long. Miss
Mary McCourt, Miss Margaret A.
Shunahan and Miss Rosalie Jay, all of
this city. They are now qualified
trained nurses.
The hospital and training school is
situated at the corner of Wyoming
avenue and Mulberry street, and was
founded two years ago by Dr. . 1..
Thomson. From time to time enlarge
ments and extensions have been added
so thut It Is now thoroughly equipped
for the care and treatment of disease,
disabilities and Infirmities. Jt Js a
chartered Institution, and Drs. L. Weh-
liui. Reed Hums and J. H. Oarvey have
become associated with Dr. Thomson
in its control and management.
Kvery seat In the hall was occupied
last night. There was a distinguished
audience present, among them being
Rev. J. A. O'Reilly. Rev. P. J. Mac-
(louldrlck, Rev. John Loughran, of the
Catholic university, at Washington;
Rev. Walter Gorman, and Drs. H. D.
Gardner. W. M. Reedy. Glbbs, Phillips,
Barnes and Hums. The -four gradu
ating nurses sat in a row to the right
of the platform and In the second row
were eight who belong to the junior
class and will graduate next yean.
They were attired In the blue uniform
of a nurse, with white apron and lace
cap. Around the platform potted
plants and flowers were tastefully ar
ranged. BEGINNING THE EXERCISES.
Dr. Oarvey Introduced Dr. Thomson
as the presiding officer, and he in turn
Introduced Dr. V. P. Gibney, of New
York, who delivered the address to the
graduates. The speaker possesses a
polished eloquence that was pleasing
to hear. Ho dwelt principally upon the
trained nurse as she exists In the hos
pital. In office work, and In private
families. He was associated with Dr.
Thomson for a number of years and
spoke of him as a man capable of Im
parling Instruction of a high order.
Addressing the graduates Dr. Gib
ney spoke In a very kindly tone. He
said that many years ago the nurse was
not specially trained and people .ex
pected her to be born to the work. A
certain aptitude, gentleness and kind
ness were looked for. The patient la
a very peculiar being. However excel
lent traits may have existed in health,
these are obscured, frequently obliter
ated, in disease, and it is the duty of
the nurse to appreciate this Important
consideration. When this Is accom
plished duty will become a pleasure.
Above all, the nurse should understand
that she Is the servant of the patient.
Apart from the daily routine of ad
ministering drugs, changing - linen,
cooling pillows, she will be called upon
to come between the sufferer and dis
turbing visitors. She ,mtist determine
what people should see the patient and
those who should be excluded. Of the
latter class- garrulous persons who
bring unpleasant news are the fore
most. The personal appearance, tidi
ness, and soft steps of the nurse will
often have much to do with the success
of her work.
ON THE CARE OF CHILDREN.
Speaking about the care of children
Dr. Gibney said in behalf of the little
sufferers that it Is most essential in
caring for one of them to forestall Its
wants, learn to protect It against mis
haps, and not to lose the temper be
cause the child Is cross. Firmness and
gentleness are not conflicting. It Is
often said of the unmarried woman
that she is necessarily unfitted for the
care of children because Hhe does not
know anything about a mother's love.
This is far from true. Most trained
nurses have experienced a mother's
love, have been sick themselves, and
know what it is to be nursed by the
loved ones at home. The nurse recalls
from time to time the tender looks, the
anxious expressions and 'she can put
herself In a mother's place and cultiv
ate the traits that go to make up a
nurse for. children.
On the relation of the nurse to the
doctor, tho speaker said that the doctor
is captain of the ship; his orders mist
be implicitly obeyed and the nurse must
hold herself in readiness to carry out
any wishes or suggestions he may ex
press. This does not imply abject ser
vitude, because the doctor looks to her
for suggestions occasionally and In crit
ical cases he relies on the reports he
gets of the behavior of . the patient
during his absence. ,
A nurse who has become accustomed
to a doctor in different cases should
be apt enough to learn his wishes with
out even an expression on his part. It
is not good faste to entertain either
patient .or doctor with the peculiarities
or. confidences of former patients. Her
position naturally brings her in rela
tionship Btifllclently close to make her
the recipient of confidence which never
should be betrayed.
PRESENTED WITH DIPLOMAS.
The foregoing is but a synopsis o
Dr. Glbney's excellent address and
when he concluded, Dr. Thomson pre
sented each of the graduates with her
diploma. He wished them every possi
ble success in life and hoped that each
one would prosper.
Dr. Oarvey presented them with
beautiful bouquets of flowers and then
their many friends came forward and
tendered congratulations.
LALLY'S PECULIAR STORY.
States That Ho Was Delttdod Into Signing
a Koto.
Two months ago Alderman Post, of
the Seventeenth ward, gave Judgment
for $55 with Interest from Sept. 18, 1895,
In favor of F. E. Wood to the use of H.
T. Sprague against James and Thomas
Lally. The defendants, by their attor
neys Watson & Zimmerman, appealed
the case to court and yesterday the
affidavit of defense was filed in the of
fice of Prothonotary Pryr.
On May lfi, 1895, a note for $55 payable
In four monthly instalments of $13.76
each, was given by the Lally s In favor
of F. E. Wood at the Scranton Savings
bank. As set forth In the affidavit filed
yesterday they deny, that they ever
signed the note. Thefcartlculars are as
follows: Last May a man named Thos.
Martin called uuon John Lally. who Is
a son of Thomas, and solicited htm to
take a scholarship in wood's Business
college. Martin produced a paper
which he represented waa am agree
ment to enter the college and It placed
It before the young man for his signa
ture. Lally would not be sixteen, years
old until the subsequent October.
Martin told him to sign his father's
name that It was all right. Circum
stances developed which prevented
young Lally from going to Wood's col
lege. The first they knew of the note
was when notice was served upon them
by the alderman. The boy proclaims
that he was informed It was an agree
ment he was signing when he attached
his own and his father's name to It.
The concluding part of the affidavit
charges that the plaintiff is not entitled
to recover for the reason that the paper
was obtained through fraudulent rep
resentation, that the father's name was
signed by. the boy without authority,
und that the latter when he was Im
posed uron was only IS years of age.
The note bu been endorsed by P. E.
Wood to tffe use of H. T. Sprague.

ment and sewers and drains commit

Mr. Chittenden last night the chairman
of the park committee was added to the
committee.
The first measure Introduced in tnts
year's select council was an ordinance,
of which Mr. Wagner was the father,
providing for a permanent man for the
Relief Engine company. Following
closely UDon this was an ordinance for
a permanent man for the Niagara Hose
company. It is proposeu to taae tne
money for these new expenditures out
of the excess In revenue from llq tor li
censes over the estimate of the city con
troller. An ordinance for paving Spruce
street between Franklin and Wyoming
avenues with sheet asphalt was Intro
duced by Mr. Wagner. One-half the
cost Is to be borne by the property
holders and one-half by the city. The
city's share of the expense will come
out of the liquor license excess. The
Job will cost, according to City Engl-
nerr Phillip's estimate, about i,uou.
Mr. Chittenden Introduced the com
munication from the Providence and
Abington Turnpike company In regard
to the West Market street muddle in
order to have the matter referred to a
special committee again this year,
which was done.
The movement for wide tires was
again set afoot by Mr. Lansing, who
brought to life the old ordinance li
censing wagons, the rates to grow less
as the tires grow wider. The ordin
ance was referred to the paving com
mittee. An ordinance for a lateral sewer on
Monsey avenue, in the Seventh and
Thirteenth wards, was Introduced by
Colonel Sanderson. A communication
was received from Street Commissioner
Kinsley pointing out the necessity of a
pipe drain on Hampton street, between
Main avenue and Tenth street.
City Solicitor Torrey notified council
that he could settle the claim of $400 of
N. C. Collie for damages resulting from
the grading of Tenth street, for the
sum of $300, and asked authority to do
so. Select council approved of a con
current resolution giving him the de
sired authority.
BIDS FOR GRADING.
The following bids for grading Myrtle
street were received: M. A. Donahoe,
23 cents per cubic yard; Murray & Oil
more,, 21 cents; D. E. Nichols, 24 cents;
Peter T. Mulligan, 23 cents.
Five different parties proposed to
take away the old house which stands
on the corner of Franklin avenue and
Page court, where the new Nay Aug en
gine house Is to be erected. H. J.
Thomas asked $70. to do the work;
Benjamin .Walker agreed to do it free
of charge; Murray & Gllmore offered
to do It for $5; John Crane for $20, and
