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. IN PENN AVENUE CHURCH. Pulpit Was Occupied b? Rev. Dr. C. F. Hitting of Philadelphia. Rev. Dr. C. C. Bitting, of Philadel phia, preached in the Penn Avenue Baptist church yesterday morning and evening. He has not been recently as sociated with any particular church of the Baptist denomination, but has been, Identified with the church's publication Interests. Dr. Blttlng's morning discourse was from the text, "This day tmall I be glorified." His argument was that glorification came only through suffer ing and hardship, and that one who glories in the ease with which God's benefits may be received may be dls apoplnted In receiving them.

TALKED OF SIORAL SUASION Intcrestiarj Dchatc uf Total Abstain? crs at I'rovi lencc. 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.

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.

HIS OPERATIONS WATCHED When Ho HaJ Calmly Taken Off a Shot. teranj Crawled In. ido. the Police Were Notified aud Now He Is Behind Prison Bars. The biggest surprise party of the sea son was tendered Burglar John Kane at Tisdall's gun and novelty store, 400 Lackawanna avenue, by the iiolice shortly after 7 o'clock last evening. Kane got off a coal train just in the rear of Ttsiiull's store at about 7 o'clock and calmly proceeded to remove one of the shutters on the railroad avenue side. Ho unscrewed the hinges, took down the shutter, opened the window. replaced the shutter and then screwed the hinges buck lit place. Then he walked up as far as Lackawanna ave nue, surveyed the street and returning 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.
