A three-weeks' term of common pleas court began yesterday morning with Judge Edwards on tho bench in the main court room und Judge Uunster In -No. z. There was disappointment In the fact that the court did not hand down an opinion In the disbarrment proceedings against Attorney Cornelius Smith.

The badjre seller gave his name as "Khoudes, from Philadelphia." The badge Is a black and white ribbon nffolr with a Templar emblem as a pendant. Khoades had SQQ when he started out.

SCHOOLS WILL NOT BE IN SESSION TODAY Decided I'pcn at Last Night's Meetinc of Board of Control. MOTION WAS CARRIED BY ONE VOTE Retaining Wall nt So. 19 School Will Have to Me Torn Dow nContract for Hcntiug and Ventilating No. 10 School Awarded to Hunt A. Council. Communication, from Mrs. Ann Ilk-uniond, The schools of .Scranton will not be opened today In view of the two pa rades which will take place. A motion that the schools be dismissed for the day was carried by one vote at Inst night's meeting of the board of control. W. J. Welsh made the motion and . was opposed by Air. Wormser. who de clared that It would be a bad precedent to establish. He hoped that It would not carry. After the motion was put the ayes and nays were required to de cide It, with the following result: Ayes O' Mulley, Casey. Drvanney. Welsh. Schuefer, Conrad, Wulsh. Langan, Not9. Navs Francois, Davis, Carson. Worm ser, Jacobs, Jennings, Schrlefer, Gib bous S. Mr. Jacobs, chairman of the building committee, recommended thut the west end of the retaining wall at No. I'i school be torn down und a more sub stantial wall erected In Its stead, and that the cost of tearing It down and rebuilding be borne by the architect and contractor, the board to pay only for the extra muleilal needed. Mr. Wormser and Mr. Gibbons were not In favor of the committee's recom mendation. They wanted the commit tee to huve new plans prepared nnd estimates of rust Invited, with nn equitable apportionment of the cost between the architect and the board. OPPOSKD THE REPOHT. Mr. Welsh stood up and opposed the report, saying that he would not agree to placing one rent of expense on the board; it was the architect's mistake and he ought to stand it. The report was, however, adopted. A communication was received from Attorney W. W. Lathrope, represent ing Mrs. Ann Richmond. It stated that the old Drinker turnpike recently vacated ran along land occupied by Mrs. Richmond, adjoining land now occupied by the school district. Last August she applied to court for the ap pointment of viewers to assess dam ages done to her property by the va cating of the turnpike, and the view ers appointed awarded her damages to the amount of 1250. This award en tlted her to half of the roadway In front of her property and If she fences It In it will spoil the looks of the school property, Mr. Lathrope thought, and he advised the board to buy her title to the twenty-two feet of roadway. The ease was referred to the attorney of the board. The final estimate for No. 13 school was $2,5riO. and this was ordered paid, except $150, which Architect Duck worth recommended be deducted on account of the failure of the contractor to put In tho water supply. NO. 10 SCHOOL CONTRACT., The contract was awarded to Hunt & Conncll tor heating and ventilating No. 10 school. The amount of their bid is I3.U90 for heating and ventilating, and 1515 for putting In closets. The bill of Hunt A Connell calling for the payment of 11,859.70 on account of the contract for heating and ventilating the high school was ordered paid. It was recommended that the appli cation of Miss Nettle Maloney for a permanent certificate be approved. OTHER THIEF IS, CAPTURED. lie Went After the Horse in Havre dc (race. Chief Simpson has received word from Havre de Grace, '.M.. that Theo dore Myer was captured there on Satur day last. He, It will be remembered in com pany with Frank llaz-mrd. now in the county Jail, stole Liveryman Walt-r Prall's horse and carriage from In front of Horn's hotel. In Providence, two weeks ago Sunday night. They drove the turnout to Havre de Grace and left it in a livery stable, un til they could return here and get their own horse and wagon which they left behind. This daring attempt led to Hazzard's arrest and ultimately to the capture of Myer. After Hazzard was taken In this city Myer hastened back to Havre de Graco to secure the stolen hors, not knowing that his pal had made a clean breast of everything. The authorities there were watching for him and when ha called to claim the turnout was taken Into custody. As soon as the necessary papers can be secured he will be trjught on here.

The Prefbytei-ians were among the first senil is of the American colonies of Great Britain. In New England they were an torhed Into the preponderating element of English Puritans, but In New Jersey. Pennsylvania Delaware. .Maryland and the Carollnns, they established Indepen dent organizations, and soon set up the full eclesiaslleal machinery to which they were accustomed In the old country. In the middle colonies their ranks wore re rruited chiefly from large migrations from Vlster. In Ireland, which had been settled by emigrants from Scotland, who formed the famous "plantations" of King James I. This population Is popularly known among us as tho Scotch-Irish, ft thrifty, vigorous, courageous, intelligent, patri otic and Godly stni-k. The few eongrega. Hons scattered along the Atlantic coast at the beginning of the first century have grown to 7..'i"). These are manned by a working force of 7.iVjO ordained and ll. eeni-ed ministers and evangelists, repre senting u communicant membership cf nearly a million and a constituency of from three to four millions or souls. Those are found In every state and territory of the republic, and nearlv every principal nation of tho world will be represent upon the floor of the general assembly by missionary or native commissioners. Our readers may form some conception of the Immense activities of the Presby terian church from the fact thut the total expenditure., as reported to the lust gen eral assembly, reached the magnificent sum of l4.o"io.Ots. of this tl'M.im went for foreign missions: JU.OUUW) for missionary work upon the home Held, and tl.OiXi.OU) for general benevolence. These sums, great as they a:e, do not Include, tho l irga gifts nnd expenditures for educational In siitutlnns, for hospitals, asylums, orphan ages and kindred charities, which would probably add another million dollars to the above-named totnl. Surely every Christian heart, and, Indeed, every one who can appreciate generous and seir denylng labors for the welfare of our race, must regard with sympathy and admira tion an organization which every year pre. sents such a splendid testimony to the sincerity and fidelity of Its devotion to the principles of Christianity, one need not agree with the dogmas of the Westmlns. ter confession, nor assent lo the uncom promising republicanism of Its form of government In order to appreciate such re sults. It is enough for the friends of hu manity to know that such things are done and are doing, and, let us hupo, will continue to be done with Increasing efficiency while the world has need of brotherly helpfulness.

EVIDENTLY HAUNTED BY HARD LUCK Cninc to These Parts on an Errand of Charity oud Now She Herself is n Most Deserving Subject of Churity. Met Good nmnrilans Hcre--Yill Bo Sent Bncli to Chicago. If ther Is ouch a thing as being haunted by bard Itiek Mrs. Jennie Wil ton, of Clilcago. who came to this city three weeks ago to look aftrr her aged mother is undergoing that experience. Sho is a widow aiout thirty- three years of age and has two children, both girls, ono thirteen and the other seven years of oge. Soon after the birth of her youngest child her husband was killed and, left without any means she was forced to go out to work to provide for herself and little ones. By her un tiring energy and careful management she not only looked after their Immed iate wcnt.i but saved a little money, about -'00. Hearing" that her aged mother In Wllkcs-Barre, was destitute and being cared for by the poor board she re solved upon coming to her assistance and with her little earnings started here to look up her mother and take her back to Chicago, that she might not end her days In a poor house. HER MOTHER DEAD. Arriving here three weeks ago she found that her mother was deud, that her step-brother and step-sister wero in extremely destitute curcumstancea and that her brother had on the day preceding her arrival started out with thirty-nine cents In his pocket to look for work In the lower part of the atate. The day after her arrival the dead and mangled body of her brother was shipped home from Eoaton where he had been run over by the curs while cross ing through k railroad yard. She buried her brother and with only $90 of her savings left came to this city to look up a married sister who had formally lived in Bellevue. This sister had moved away and none of the neigh bors knew of her whereabouts. Dis heartened and sick she determined to bid farewell to her relatives in Wllkes Barre and return to Chicago. While waiting for the train in the Delaware and Hudson station In this city her pocket book containing the $90 left out of her savings was stolen by two wo men of the town who picked It up In the toilet room where she left it while washing her little girls face. The po lice took care of her over night and took every effort to find the thieves, but being unsuccessful sent her back to Wllkes-Barre the next day. SOLD HER WEDDING RING. Her two relatives there could bare ly support themselves und consequent ly could not take cure of her and her two children, so she was compelled to sell the contents of her trunk piece by piece, and even her wedding ring to procure food and lodging. Sunday the lust article of value they had, a ring which her younger daugh ter had given to her for a Christmas present, was pawned to pay for lodg ing. Thoy had return tickets from Wllkes-Barre to this city, and not knowing what else to d.- came here. She went to the headquarters of the board of charities, and while waiting for Mrs. Duggan Street Commissioner Kinsley happened In, and hearing that they had had nothing to eat since 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, took tpem to Mitchell's dining room, provided them with food nnd secured employment for tho mother durlnjr the rush that Is now on owing to the conclave. Ho then In terested Poor Director Fuller In the case and stnrtod off to look after the sttcet arrangements for the parade, In which business he waa up to his ears yesterday. Wade Finn, who was In Adermnn ; Fuller's office when the woman's sad story was belmr related, left $" with the alderman to be used In supplying some of the immediate wants of the unfortunates. Aderman Fuller said he jvoltld see that they were sent back to Chicago all right, so It Is likely that they will soon find their sufferings at an end. Mrs. Wilson Is a skilled lace curtain cleaner, she says, and can se cure plenty of work when she gets home. Scranton Souvenir for sale at 306 Lackawanna avenue.
