A devotional service led by Mrs. A.
W. Welles, the presbyterlal president.

roll call and response of delegates, Mrs.
T. 8. Morgan, the recording secretary,
read the minutes of the last meeting,
and Miss Dickson, of this city, made
her report as corresponding secretary.
The report of the treasurer, Mrs.
Raynor, of Carbondale. Indicated that
the society had not contributed ns much
toward the church s foreign mission as
It did last year.
Two reports, .each a compilation of
the work and condition of half of the
auxiliaries of the Boclety were read.
Mrs. N. P. Osterhout, of the North
End, read a paper on "What the Mis
sionary Is, and What the Missionary
Should Be." It was a very capable and
helpful effort'
AN AFRICAN MISSIONARY.
Mrs. Charles E. Robinson read a let
ter from Rev. Charles Werner, who left
this country last year, accompanied by
Joseph Phlpps, colored, for the mission
ary field In Africa. Phlpps was a Res
cue mission convert and a protege of
the Second Presbyterian church and its
pastor, Rev. Dr.- Robinson. He was as
signed to work In the interior several
hundred miles from the mouth of the
Zambeeze, and, according to Mr. Wer
ner's letter, has met with great suc
cess.
Mrs. Gerald F. Dale, a returned mis
slonary to Syria, talked briefly but en-
ertainir.fiy oi mission work in that
country.
The evening session was a non-busi
ness meeting over which Rev. George E.

sne remarked UDon the excommunl
cation, boycotting and persecution of
Christian natives by the government
officials and Moslem priests. Hundreds
espoused the Christian faith but kept
it secret except in cases near the pro
tectlon of mission stations. The con'
verts were generally conscientious and
earnest, two qualities which the faith of
Mohammed did not encourage nor de
velop. THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
Mrs. Dale made a general reference
to the Presbyterian educational sys
tem which includes day and industrial
schools and colleges for both sexes.
The work has progressed so well that
the teachers graduated from the higher
schools are sought after by the English
missions which have no educational
system, and are located In stations
scattered throughout Palestine.
She said little difficulty was exper
ienced In holding the converts stead
fast, as the Christian belief gives them
great inducements In Its promises.
beauty and fulfillment, three things al
most undreamed of by -a Moslem. The
converts were also attracted by the
patience, love and ministrations of the
Christian missionaries which also was
something different from the cruelty of
the religion of the country, a religion
of fanaticism, blasphemous worship,
watch crys and prayer towers.
. The missionary heroes and heroines
are native converts located at Isolated
stations in the Interior where months
go by without the appearance of mall
or a stranger.
Before adjournment a collection was
made for the printing and contingent
fund.

JOHN CBISHKA COMMITTED.
Ho Will llo Compelled to Answer for the
Murder of John Mickus.
John Grlshka. who was arrested nt
the instance of the coroner's Jury for
tiie murder of John Mickus, near
Tripp's crossing on the night of March
17, was yesterday taken uown irom tne
ctmntv la II and given a preliminary
nettling before Alderman Millar, bo that
he intent be formally charged with tne
crlm?.
County Detective Leyshon represent
ed llio commonwealth and C. H. Soper
appeared for the accused. The evldncs
adduced ut the inquest was In part sub
mitted und it pointed bo Htrongly to
Giishitas' guilt that there was no hesi
tancy on the part of the alderman in
committing him to answer at court.
Onlv three witnesses were heard.
Adum Fein ceder, of Price street, wh.i
was the murdered man's miner; P. M.
Messett. a Btreet car conductor, and
Coroner f. P. Longstreet. Schroeder
testified that Mickus had told him on
the Monday preceding St. Patrick's Day
that his wife threatened that her
brother and Grlshka would kill him,
Conductor Messett told of the incident
on the street car, by which the com
monwealth hopes to prove that! the
murdered man and Grlshka were to
(tether the night of the murder.
GOT ON MESSETT'S CAR.
About 9.15 o'clock p. m. four men,
either Poles or Hungarlans.boarded the
Luzerne street car, of which Messett
was In charge, and on reaching Seventh
street one of them tendered a $20 bill in
payment for his fare, although he had
a nickel In his hand. The conductor re
fused to change the bill and a wrangle
ensued, which ended In the man giving
over the nickel. He had caused so much
trouble on the car that when the corner
of Main avenue and Jackson street was
reached the conductor called a police
man and had him put off. The other
three rode as far as Washburn street.
where they got off and started back to
wards Jackson street. One of them an
swered the description of Mickus, the
murdered man, and the other, Grlshka,
tallies in many respects with the man
with whom Conductor Messett had the
trouble. (
County Detective Leyshon had MIc
kus put on his cap and stood him up
before Messett The witness said the
cap, which Is light colored and of the
bicycle style, is similar to the cap worn
by the man with whom he had the
trouble. The features he had also seen
before, but he would not say that
Mickus and the passenger in question
were one and the same,
NOT STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
Coroner Longstreet told of how the
body lay when found and showed that
death could not have possibly resulted
from Mickus being struck by a train.
He then described how his notice was
attracted to Grlshka, who was one of
the crowd that gathered on the scene,
and how, after becoming satisfied that
the fellow s suspicious actions would
bear investigation, he called him to him
and discovered blood stains on his over
coat. He also stated that he saw Grlsh
ka attempt to wash oft the stains with
snow after he had been handed over to
the custody of Patrolman Evans.
Mr. Soper asked a number of ques
tions of each witness. The law tre-
vented him from making any argument,
dui ne remarked mat his client was not
guilty ana that he could not be con
vlcted.
It transpired during the hearlne that
Mrs. Mlckus.wife of the murdered man,
gave birth to a child on Easter Satur
day.
Charles Miller waa arrested last eve
ning as being an accessory to the mur
der of John Mickus. At the time of
the coroner s inquest Miller was bus
pected of being implicated in the crime.
'mere was not, however, sufficient evl
dence to hold him. County Detective
Leyshon has since that time gathered
further proof and as a result Miller was
arrested last night, while he waa at
the Lloyd street home of his sister.
Mra John Fickus, wife of the murdered
man..
Lieutenant Spellman and John Jones
of Jackson street, assisted in making
the arrest. Miller vaa taken to the
West Side police station, where he
spent the night. To a Tribune renort
er he denied any knowledge of the mur
der. He was home at the time of the
discovery. He is a middle-aged man,
Ono of the chief causes which led to
Miller's arreBt was the threat made to
Mickus by his wife that her brother,
Killer, and Grlshka would kill him,
which threat he repeated to his miner,
Adam Schroeder, on the Monday pre
ceding tne murder.
MARGARET MATHER AS JULIET
Margaret Mather returned to a Scran
ton audience last night after an absence
or several years, as junct, in shake
speare's "Romeo ond Juliet." Miss
Mather Is not an Ideal Juliet In appear.

son, the greatest Juliet who ever trod
the boards, was not, neither were her
greatest successors In that role. Some one
has said that no woman can truly portray
Juliet as Shakespeare created her, the
very embodiment of love and passion, tin
til time has matured her powers and un
fortunately has at least nartlallr de
Btroyed that girlish contour of face and
form that should msrk the Ideal Juliet.
Nevertheless Miss Mather made a very
satisfactory Juliet last night.
She Is somewhat robust In fleure and
voice, yet was more successful Inst night
In the love scenes with Romeo than when
reciting the tragic lines with which the
closing scenes of the tragedy are so richly
studded. When sho was tender, sweet and
loving her voice was vibrant, yet caress
ing, and when alarmed for the safety of
ner nimnanu it was very exprossive and
appealing, in tne tragic scenes ner voici
acquired a harshness that Erated unnlnns
antly on the ear, ond her conception of
that phase of Juliet's character was not
marked by the delicacy that she showed
In the more tranaull scenes.
She waB given good support by Freder

the South Side, died at the Moses Tay
lor hospital, as the result of two frac
tured ribs, sustained a week ago at
the blast furnace.
Richard and John Gaughan worked
together In a chamber on the old Po-
cono vein in the Pine Brook shaft. They
tired a blast about 10 o'clock and went
bock to the face of the chamber as
miners are wont to do after the smoke
clears away, to pee what amount of
coal has been loosened. They were
only a few moments returned when a
slab of roof weighing ten tons fell down
and crushed them to death.
The body of Richard was fearfully
crushed, but that of John was without
any marks, except a small one on the
temple. They were removed to the
home of their parents, Mr. and Mrs.
William Gaughan, on Fourth. Btreet,
Bellevue.
FIVE MONTHS MARRIED.
Richard was married Ave months ago
to Misa Emily ltornasco. of Stafford
avenue. South Side, and.they lived with
her parents. He had purchased a lot
on that Btreet, and was preparing to
build a home. He was banjo and
violin player of great skill, and was a
young man of good character. He was
31 years old.
John was 20 years old and his mar
riage with Miss Emme Frank, of the
Flats, was announced to take place
within two weeks. He waa also re
spected for his good traits.
Last week their slater, Miss Bridget
Gaughan, was married to Joseph Gow
er, of the South Side. Their deaths
have stricken their mother with Ill
ness and her condition Is serious. Their
father in a miner in the same shaft, and
when the sad news was broken to him
after the bodies had been uncovered
from the weight of rock, he swooned
and lost consciousness for several min
utes. William Gaughan, clerk at Mat
thew Bros'. Btore, was their brother.

later at the Lackawanna hospital. The

tempting to get on he stumbled and fell
beneath the wheels. The left leg was
crushed to a pulp between the ankle
and knee; there was a serious lacerated
wound in the back, and his body was
very badly bruised.. The cause of his
death was the shock which resulted.

LITTLE IMPOSTOR CAltiUT.
Sha Was Bronght Dcforo the Board of
Charities at Its Meeting.
One of the first things the Board of
Associated Charities did at its meeting
last night was to dispose of a little
Impostor whom Mrs. Duggan picked up
on ner way to anend the meeting.
The Impostor is a 10-year-old girl
named Rose UabotchnleK, of Raymond
court, who goes about late at night
selling matches and working on the
sympathies of the people with a story
that if she does not dispose of all her
matches her father will whip her and
send ner to bed without any supper.
In nearly every case the little one
leaves the house or store, as the case
may be, with her stock of matches un
diminished and the price -of the whole
basketfull tucked away in her pocket.
Mra. Duggan had received several in
quiries about her, and upon looking un
her case, discovered that her father
owns a horse and wagon and is In
every way able to support her without
compelling her to go out begging. So
last night when the little match ped
dler accldcntly selected Mrs. Duggan
for a victim she ran iier head "into a
trap. Mr. Kelly, of the child saving
committee, with the authorization of
the board. Bent the girl home in the
custody of a pollce officer with a mes
sage to her father to the effect that If
the child was again caught begging
the board would take steps to have her
removed from his charge.
WAYFARERS' LODGE.
Rev. Rogers Israel reported that Col
onel Ripple, T. J. Moore and himself,
the committee appointed to consider
tho advisability and feasibility of es.
tabllshlng a Wayfarers' Lodge, had dis
cussed the matter and concluded that
it would not bo advisable to take any
steps in that direction until next fall.
Mr. Sanborn, superintendent of the
Rescue Mission, had expressed will
Ingncss to supervise the contemplated
home in conjunction with hiB mission
work, and it is likely that his offer will
be accepted if tho plan is carried Into
effect.
Ex-Mayor Connell's review of that
pnrt of the board of charities work
which came under his direction during
his term of office, which report has been
printed In full In The Tribune, was sub'
mltted to the board last night and or
dered made part of the records. While
the report was under consideration T.
J. Kelly, chairman of the child saving
committee, and Mrs. Duggan, agent of
the hoard, testified to the ex-mayor's
many acts of kindness and his con'
stant readiness to do everything In his
power to aid the board and Its work
Several Instances were cited to show
the deep Interest which he evlne.d In
the work, nnd Mr. Kelly went bo far
as to say that ex-Mayor Connell had
virtually established the board, Mr.
Gibbons provoked' applause with the
remark: "He couldn't help being In
terested In charitable work; he's a Con
nell.", , v, , , ,. ,

Plans have been prepared by Archi
tect Edward H. Davis for the large and
commodious addition to the Scranton
Bicycle Club house. The plans have
been aproved and a committee is now
engaged in getting anr estimate of the
cost of the contemplated Improvement.
If the cost Is not excessive the work of
erecting the addition to the club house
will be done this summer.
The size of the present bulldina- ts
32x52 and the addition will be 34x86
giving a building that will extend back
to the court at the rear of the lot. A
sub-basement will be excavated under
the proposed addition which will be a
swimming tank 12x30 feet In size and
the proposed addition in which will be a
shower and other bathing accommoda
tions. In the rear of this will be the
gymnasium and on the south side of
the building provisions are made for a
bowling alley. Along the sides and
ends of the gymnasium and swimming
tank, it is the Intention to run a gal
lery on the level of the present cellar

for the members. Training quarters
will also be provided In this part of the
building. The partitions, etc., in the
cellar under the present building will

THE FOUNTAIN HEAD
FOR
FASHIONABLE MILLINERY.
It is tald "there is room at the top."
So there is, but has it ever occurred to
you there can be only one at the top.
We're gaining that enviable position by
being worthy of It. We have set the paco
In everything. Store, style, quality, relia
bility and more than all low prices. Look
at the new spring hats. Where else In
Scranton can you find such correctness
such Individuality such tone and charac
ter? Nowhere. Why shouldn't we be at
the top. If everybody knew It, what a
scramble thcre'd be for our kind of mil
linery. But everybody doesn't know, and
that's why old goods masquerade as new
and so-called "bargains" figure at 50
per cent, profit. We are not tied down
to old-fashioned Ideas and prices here are
always on speaking terms with cost.
