KOU1N HOOD WF.LL SLMi.
Was Heard nt tho Academy of .Miislo
Saturday Night.
"f.obin Hood" hns been sung many
I: inc. in Scranton, but never before by
ii company of such general excellence
ii tho Itostoninns who produced lie
Knven and Smith's tuneful nnd plc
tnrcstino opera at the Academy of
Music Saturday night.
. A lm-creaml fashionnble audience was
present nnd pel haps the best tribute
to tlio favor with which the opera
was ivcr ived was the spontanlety of the
warm upril.iure tlmt bubbled forth as
freely in the pit as the gallery. For
once all parts f the house were of one
niv onl In laying tribute to the nrtists.
Rfforo the tlrst half of the first net
was over nearly nil (if the crittenl cold
ness of the lUtdientH had fled nnd
many who camo solely to play the critic,
cb -termini d not to ovlni . approval un
til approval was earned, simply leaned
back a little deeper In their seats and
nave themFilvcs up utterly to the en
joyment of the hour.
All of tho solos, duetts and quartetts
were rupturously applauded and al
most without exception had to be re
peated. When the curtain went down
after the scene In Sherwood forest a
storm of applause swept over the house
that was not stilled until Ihe curtain
was raised disclosing1 Hnrnubee and his
companions bowing their thanks.
The sherlT of Nottingham was of
course Henry Clay Ilarnabee, who has
right1beerr trTmeil" therdean of comic
opera comedlana He sang well and
his efforts as aTcomedlnn were untaint
ed by the buffoonery that is an Insep
arable part of tho work of many of the
comedians of today. Frank V. Pollock
Was a graceful Robin Hood and his
line voice won many encores during
the evening. Charles R.. Hawley, Eu
gene Cowles and George Frothlnghnm
also came in for a good share of the
applause so unstlntingly showered on
the members of the company.
Helen Bertram Henley made a pretty,
winsome Maid Marion. She has a clear,
sympathetic voice that is admirably
adapted to the music of the opera,
Kvery number sung by her was rap
turously applauded and the same was
true of Jessie Rartlett Davis, one of
the best known members of the Bos
tonlans who essayed the role of Al-lan-a-Dale.
Alice Nellson made a most
favorable Impression as Annabel.

Dr. Blttlng's morning discourse was

PLANS l'OR A XE lillLOlXG
Were Presented to the Quarterly Conven
tion for Consideration-Scheme for
KaUIng Necessary Funds to llo Con
sidered Business Transacted.
At St. Mary's hull. West Market
street, Providence, the eleventh quar
terly convention of the Catholic Total
Abstinence societies of the Second dis
trict of the Diocesan union was held
yesterday afternoon. About 200 dele
gates were present, one-fourth of the
number being' ladies. Timothy McCoy,
president of the district, called the con
vention to order at 2.30 and from that
hour until adjournment in the evening
Interesting business was under consid
eration. -
The most Important subject was sub
mitted bv the committee on hall. Six
months ago at u quarterly convention
held on the West Side. M. J. O'Toole
and John H. Devlne were appointed on
this committee. It was the purpose
that they should have a set of plans
I -re-pared. Mr. o'Toole made a report
for the committee. He exhibited a
front view of a building SO by 100 feet
ami live stories high, designed by
Architect Harvey Blackwood. The
basement Is for a gymnasium; the first
story is fifteen feet high, the second and
third ten feet each, and the fourth and
fifth twenty-two feet entirely.
When the committee was appointed
the hall matter was thoroughly dis
cussed. It was thought that there is a
sufficient membership of total abstain
ers in the district to be able to erect a
building that will reflect rredit on
them and serve as a monument to the
oause. All agreed that If some feasible
plan can be adopted for raising the tM.
000 necessary to erect the hall. It ought
to be undertaken nt once. At the next
meeting the committee will have a re
port to make on how to get the money.
The manner In which it can be raised
and which commends Itself to the earn
est consideration of the societies Is on
a building and loan association plan.
Hy equipping a large part of It for
store and office rent a large revenue
can be raised to nut Into the building
fund; the rest will be met by assess
ments from the societies.
AN INTERESTING DEBATE.
When Chairman McCoy called the
convention to order he Introduced In
turn President J. J. O'Hara and Vice
President Peter McCoy, of the Diocesan
union, and C. F. Foley, of Mnhnnoy
Plane, who addressed the delegates
brlelly; then came on a debate upon the
subject, "Resolved, That moral sua
sion has done more for the cause of
temperance than legislative enact
ments." John II. Devlne and John Mc
Lane upheld the allirmutive and the op
posite side was represented by James
P. Judge and John McTlernan. The
three judges were Frank F. Brady, of
the South Side; J. C. Gallagher, of the
West Side, and J. E. Moran, of the
North End. An hour was allotted for
the arguments, thirty minutes to each
side.
Mr. McLane opened the debate. His
argument was that total nbstlnence Is
not the outcome of any legislative en
nctments, but was begotten of moral
suasion. Mr. Judge was the next
speaker. He agreed with the argument
of Mr. McLane, but he said that Rev.
Theobald Slathew was sorry at the end
of his crusade against the liquor traf
fic, after -having pledged thousands,
that he had not started out with the
same amount of energy against the
trallic from a legislative point of view.
Mr. Judge read a letter written by the
apostle of temperance in which this
regret was voiced. A letter written by
Itishop Spaulding. of Peoria, nt Chl
eugo in May, Imhi, was read in which
the renowned prelate characterized tho
saloon as a menace to the nation, cor
rupting politics and government. '
Mr. Devlne's argument was to the
effect that Cod said that tho drunkard
shall not inhabit the Kingdom of
Heaven. Father Mathew did not say
here foes in the name of the law, but
he said in thu name of God, The
thousands of men und women in the
Prohibition movement today, said Mr.
iJevino, are actuated more by mornl
and religious convictions. Mrs. Pran
ces Williud was not started out by any
legislative enactment.
M'TIEltNAN'S ARGUMENT.
Mr. McTlernan read bis argument. A
young man joins the temperance ranks
through moral suasion, he said; the
gilded whiskey palace throws snares in
his path and he falls; moral suasion
brings him back again to the temper
ance society, nnd just as sure as fate
the whiskey palace tempts him .to fall
ngain, until nt lust he falls never to
rise again nnd goes down into a drunk
ard's grave. The only thing to be done,
therefore, is wipe out the saloon nlto
gcther. Jiy legislative enactment he
means legislation, which If it does not
root out the saloon altogether, will sur
round it with barriers to prevent open
shop being kept on Sunday and children
from running for beer with pails.
Mr. McLane said it was not necessary
to refer to Maine and Iowa where leg
islative enactments are in force regu
lating the liquor trafllc; right here tn
our own very midst the laws governing
the salmon ire violated every day and
the speak-easy is a thriving industry.
Mr. Judge answered that millions In
Iowa and Kansas are benefited by Pro
hibition, and it bus done more in seven
years to banish drunkenness from these
stales than moral suasion has done In
100 years. This is from testimony of
authentic character, and to corroborate
it he read a letter from Rev. Father
O'Herllhy, of Kansas City.
THEY COULD NOT DECIDE.
The judges retired to deliberate on the
arguments and after due consideration
they came forward and announced that
they could decide in favor of neither
propositions. A motion was made to
submit the question to the delegates
for them to settle, but It was debated
and finally laid on the table.
John H. Devlne, M. J. O'Toole, John
Collins, P. F. May and Frank J. Gavan
were appointed a committee on resolu
tions and the following which they drew
up were approved:
THE RESOLUTIONS. .
Whereas, We view with much pleasure
and gratification the increase in the mem
bership and influence of the organization
comprising the Second District, and re
spectfully urge member to continue In the
noble warfure begun so many years ago
by the Rev. Hheobold Mathew and en
dorsed by the clergy of this diocese, be It
Resolved, That we extend our congratu
lations to the many total abstinence socle
ties In this section who have within the
past your moved along the educational
lines. And that we earnestly urge the dis
cussion of questions relating to our move
ment In the local society meeting and
other popular topics In regulation de
bate. We believe the educational effort
to be a good one and urge that It be so
concentrated as to afford the young men
and women of our societies an oppor
tunity to more fully equip themselves for
the active affairs of life.
Resolved, Further, That we feel grati
fied at the Interest taken by total ab
stainers In the ether Catholic societies
of this section and fully appreciate the
harmony that now exists between these
societies. We urge those Interested to
continue In the efforts which tend to ele
vate the members nnd maintain a high
standnrd of citizenship.
Resolved, Further, That we tender our
hearty congratulations to our Right Rev
erend and Venerable Bishop O'Hiirn
on the vigorous manner In which
i'e torformed the extrnord'nnry do.
tlci of lijhop of this dlocniw, for
so many yearB. We extend the
kindliest feelings uf this district to Right
Reverend Bishop Hoban on his being made
coadjutor and that we herewith offer to
him our hearty co-operation. That we
pledge our co-operation to the president
of our union, John J. O'Har-t, for the
remainder of his term.
Resolved, Further. That the thanks of
this district are due and hereby ledered
to the members of the Father Whltty so
ciety for the courteous manner lit which
th'y enteriidneil the delegates.
ANTI-TRKATINO QUESTION.
M. P. Judge, of the South Side, sug
gested that the delegates be instruct
ed tuj present to their respective so
cieties for debate the anti-treatlng
queslon. His suggestion met with ap
probation and the delegates were so
instructed. They will report at the next
convention on the result.
James P. Judge, as chairman of the
committee on) honorary membership,
reported favorably on having cards
printed for distribution among the so
cieties, '.he nature of the card being
that any member can hand it to a
friend who does not belong to any tem
perance organization; that friend may
sign his name agreeing to abstain from
intoxicating liqunr. and If he to he
becomes an honorary member of the
society where he lives. It was ordered
that VWsi of these cards be printed im
mediately. At o'clock a bountiful repast was
served to the delegates hy Father
Whitty's society In their banqueting
room on the second floor. The hospi
tality of the entertaining society was
commented upon In most praiseworthy
terms. The twelf'h convention will be
held the second Sunday of July at a
place to be designated hy the board
of directors of the district.
ADDRESS BY REV. N. J. M'MANUS.
The doors were thrown open at 8
o'clock to the public and n musical en
tertainment was given, the reature ot
which was en address by Rev. N. J.
McManus. pastor of Holy Rosary
church. The reverend speaker's period
on the platform was brief, but he treat
ed his hearers to a magnificent expres
sion of the temperance question. The
breastplate of those engaged In the
cause of temperance is faith and char
ity. Where to draw the dividing line
between temperance and Intemperance,
sobriety and drunkenness, is the ques
tion. How to be charitable to one and
save the other Is the line. The tem
perance quistlon Is the cause of one
of the first heresies that sprung up in
the church. The Mohammedans, the
Islamites the world over, believed that
wine sprung from the earth and the
devil. St. John Chrysostom says that
wine, being the creature of Ood, is
good; but drunkenness, the creature of
the devil. Is evil. Wine Is used that
we may be delighted, not to be dis
tressed; to make us laugh, not that we
may be laughed nt; but he who would
use It 111 is a reproach.
It is hard to draw the line. Accord
ing to the social customs In vogue the
young men who go to the wlneroom
scon exceed Ihe tonic state and by the
'free use nf wine they lose their rea
son. St. Chrysostom says that the life
which Is shortened by wine Is in dan
ger of a threefold death. First, there
Is the loss of the mind, the essential
quality of man. Second, there is the
loss of grace in his soul; this is the
stage that is called an animated death.
The third dea'h Is the one where the
temperance cause alone remains to save
him from by assisting him and lifting
him un. Save r.lm, If not for his own
sake, for the sake of his wife and
children, his home and family, upon
whom for happiness they depend.
DEPOT THIEF CONFESSES.
Detective Hocho Succeeds in Breaking I p
n Had tinng.
A'nnther of the gang implicated In the
depot robberies up the valley was ar
rested Saturday night. He Is Peter
Hurt and his residence Is May field.
When taken before Alderman Millar
by his captors. Detective David Roche
and County Detective Leyshon, he
broks down and made a full confes
sion.
He said that the night tho Mayfield
depot of the Ontario and W estern com
pany was burglarized. Thomas Grler.
who was arrested last week, together
with Patrick Cunningham and Timothy
Brady, got him drunk and Induced him
to assist in the thieving. Some of the
plunder was hidden In the woods nnd
the rest of It was peddled among the
farmers.
The ollieers are now looking for Cun
ningham and Rrady, and expect also
to recover much of the plunder. Hart
was sent to the county jail.
SOME CLERICAL CHANGES.
Probability That Hcv.J. A. O'Kcilly Will
!o to lloncsdulo.
The death of Rev. Gerald McMurray
of Dunmore. nnd Rev. Dr. J. J. Dough
erty, of llonesdale, will necessitate a
number of changes among the priests
of tills Immediate vicinity.
Rev. M, P. Donlan has been elevated
from assistant priest In Diinniore and
Dr. George J. Lucas, recently at Arch
bald, bus been assigned as his assist
ant.
As to the Honesdali! vacancy, the ar
rangement that is said to be at present
contemplated Is to have Rev. J. A.
O'Reilly, rector of the cathedral, sent
there und to have Ht. Rev. Bishop Ho
ban relinquish his pastoral duties at
Ashley and oversee the affairs of the
cathedral. Who will succeed to the
Ashley parish has not been given out
as yet.
It is also said that a new parish is to
be created out of that portion of tho
Olyphant parish In and about Jessup.

down the shutter, opened the window.

walked up as far as Lackawanna ave

to where he had prepared an entrance,
climbed into the store. A Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western railroader.
who had watched the whole proceeding
waited until the nervy thief had closed
the shutter after him and then has
tened to Lackawanna avenue to give
the alarm.
Patrolmen Louis Goerlitz and George
Jones hastened to the Bcene and came
upon the thief just as he had gotten
down to work. One of the patrolmen
stuck his head through the window and
invited Mr. Robber out. He muttered
a curse and several ejaculations of sur
prise which would not look well in
print and then sullenly crawled out the
way he had entered. At the station
house he was recognized as the man
who trave his name as John Kane and
residence Brooklyn when arrested on
March 2 for threatening to shoot a cab
man with whom he had some trouble.
At that time he had two revolvers on
his person, which lie claimed were part
of the stage properties at Davis' thea
ter where he untruthfully claimed he
was employed.
Lieutenant John Davis and a squad of
officers arrived on the scene Just as Pa
trolmen Goerlitz. and Jones were taking
their man out. of the window, having
been ontltled by 'phone of the affair.
The lieutenant sent for L. W. Tlsdnle,
the proprietor, and after a diligent
search found the screw-driver with
which the entrance was effected. It
was labeled with the stamp of People's
Street Railway company.
It was quite fortunate that this as
sistance came for if it had not Patrol
man Jones' would have been left to
contend with the burglar alone as Pa
trolman Goerlitz was painfully. If not
seriously Injured by a fall received Im
mediately after the arrest was made.
When the burglar had been taken out
and handcuffed Goerlitz crawled Into
the store to see if there might possibly
be another burglar inside. Even with
the ledge of the window is a work
bench and when the officer stepped on
this he thought he was on the floor
and at the lirst stiitf tumbled in the
darkness to the floor a distance of three
feet. He was able to make his way out
without assistance but had to relin
quish duty for the night. He com
plained of sever pains In the side and
loins but sustained no bruises or cuts.
