BUSINESS MEETING FIRST HELD
At It OlDcers of the Association for

Speech MakingJohn P. Keller's
Interesting Discourse on the Sub
ject of Capital PunishmentDanc
ing Followed Banquet.
The annual alumni banquet of the
Scranton high school held, last evnlntr
at tho rooms of the Scranton Bicycle
club will be memorable in the hlstory
of the association as an epoch mark
for a more successful career. Last
nlsht the attendance was lamentably
poor but there were present some of the
best workers In the organization and
tho Huesestlons given as to the welfare
of the alumni were referred to the new
oillccrs and executive committee.
These ofllcers and committee members
were chosen with more care than has
been the method of late years. They
are: Oeorge B. DavidBon, '80, presi
dent; Miss Leah Heath, '80, vice presi
dent; Miss Emma Falkowsky. '94, sec
retary; John McCourt, '96. recorder;
Executive committee: '77, J. C. Vaughn;

Merian Miller; '91 Andrew Fine; '92,
Miss Clara Nelmeyer; '93, John Heater;
'94 Miss Margaret Schlmpff; '95, Miss
Rahel Powell; '96 Miss Lulu Belle War
ren. The officers were selected by the fol
lowing committees, as appointed by the
chair: Professor, J. C. Lange, R. J.
Beamish and Charles E. Daniels. Their
recommendations were unanimously
adopted. In the early part of the even
ing ' retiring President David Owens
asked for a report from. Attorney John
M. Harris, who, at tho last meeting,
was delegated to look after the securing
of an alumni room In tho new-high
school building. Mr. Harirs stated that
arrangements have been made for the
desired quarters. The committee was
continued. After the selection of of
ficers and the executive committee the
session went Into a long discussion of
the cndltlon of the alumni. Miss
Leah Heath suggested that the associa
tion devote Its time and expenditure of
money not to pleasure alone, but to
the furtherance of education In the city
of Scranton.. Miss- Heath's thoughts
were expressed in a brilliant address
and the effect will be felt. The sug
gestion 'was referred to the executive
committee. The committee and officers
will hold meetings during- the year to
prepare for the next annual celebration.
The meeting was then adjourned.
THE EATING AND TALKING.
After the business session the alumni
with its friends visited the banquettlng
room. Caterer Huntington served deli
cacies to the guests as they sat In
groups about the room. The room was
prettily decorated. After a period of
tete-a-tete Retiring President Owens
introduced the chairman of the evening,
Attorney George B. Davidson. Mr.
Davidson's opening address concerned
the Interests of the alumni. He told of
Its opportunity for doing good and of
the influence It might wield In the af
fairs of the city. Mr. Davidson also
spoke of the new high school building
nnd of the public school system of
Scranton. In concluding he called upon
John McCourt, who In a pleasing effort,
spoke of the class of '96. the juveniles
of the association. Mr. McCourt made
a plea for the alumni with all Its senti
ment. "Sentiment rules the world," he
suld. A vocal selection was sweetly
sung by Miss Irene Kann, who bo well
pleased her audience at the '96 com
mencement exercises of the high school
Following Miss Kann, Emerson D.
Owen talked on "The 'Old' Woman.
The conception of the subject was that
the "old" Is preferable to the "new
mat man, wnen ne marries, wants a
wife, not a private secretary. Attorney
John J. Murphy spoke on "What a
High School Graduate Can Not Tell
About the Law." As the toastmaster
afterward said, Mr. Murphy aptly told
what he did not know. But Mr. Mur
pny enteriawea me alumnus with a
number of humorous stories, though
Mr. Kelley claimed, in a speech follow
ing, that he It was who originated the
stories. "And," Bald Mr. Kelley, "I'm
glad 'twas Mr. Murphy who told them,
They failed to take, anyhow." At this
point In the exercises the most charm
ing Informality prevailed. Messrs.
Davidson, Kelley, Beamish and Mur
phy delighted the others In a period of
informal repartee.
MR BEAMISH'S REMARKS.
"Class Fulfillment" was the subject
on which R. J. Beamish, private secre
tary to Mayor Bailey, attempted to base
his remarks. The Intention of the pro
gramme makers was that Mr. Beamish
should tell of the whereabouts of his
classmates of '86. Mr. Beamish forgot
this. He occupied hU time In delivering
a series of humorous and witty effu
slons which led his auditors astray and
the class of '86 went down Into history
unknelled, uncofllncd and unknown, a
recitation by Miss Bertha Conger upon
a subject of interest to students general
ly, and teachers in particular.
Then followed the most pretentious re
sponse of the evening. It was on
"Capital Punishment," and tho speaker
was John P. Kelley, formerly district
attorney. Mr. Kelley opened his re
marks with the' remark that the sub
ject was a "grave" one and that a man
was liable to "lose his head" over It.
Then, in a serious vein, he gave his
views on the great question. He up
held the law, he favors the death penal
ty .when tho crime Is premeditated.
He believed that the time has not come
for the entire abolishment of the leaf
fold. Mr. Kelley referred to the fact
that in olden time the crimes punishable
by death were vastly more numerous
than now. He told of the law bearing
upon the subject In Pennsylvania and
altogether gave ' an address which
teemed with Intrinsic value.
Profsstor J. C. Langs spoke to the
pupils on "Advice." Bo com alimented
the several speakers on the ability
shown and expressed his pleasure at
the development of high 'school gradu
ates. Dancing; followed -the exercises.
The celebration was one of the best en
joyed since the forming of the associa
tion. Those present were:

WAS NOT FOUL PLAY.
Verdict ol a Coroner's Jury Sets Aside
Suspicion Connected with an Hun
farina's Death at Dickson City.
A violent death which had aroused
suspicions of foul play was decided by
a coroner's jury in Dickson City laBt
evening to have been caused by drunk
enness and accident. The inquest was
on the death of Max Matryszon, a Hun
garian, aged 42 years, who was found
early Monday morning lying on the
ground beneath the second-story bed
room window of his boarding house. He
died yesterday morning.
Matrysson roomed with his brother.
He went to bed drunk Sunday night.
The brother awoke during the night and
found himself without a bedfellow. He
heard groans outside and discovered
Max lying unconscious on the ground
and bleeding from a wound on the head.
A physician was called. He pro
nounced the case concussion of the
brain. After Matryszon died tho case
was reported to the local authorities
who notified Coroner Longstreet. He
went to Dickson City yesterday morn
ing and im panne led a 'jury. A post
mortem examination made In the after
noon schowed that Matryszon's skull
had been fractured.
The Inquest was held In Twlss' hall.
The Jury consisted of James Twlss,
William F. Erbe. William Smith, Max
Roehler, James Wilkinson and C. W,
Wilkinson. About ten witnesses were
examined. Including the brother of the
deceased. There seemed no doubt that
death was caustd by an accidental fall
Ing from the window and a verdict was
rendered accordingly. '
FIGHT AT JOHNSON'S PATCH.
Resulted in a Uudly Cut Head and
Two Arrests.
There was a fight up in Johnson's
Patch Monday night and George Kosti
was badly cut about the head by Her
man Fish. The men had been drinking
and Fish went into Kosti's house and
created a disturbance. He was thrown
out and ba'dly used by the householder,
but returned in a few minutes with a
keen edged knife and an equally .een
desire to be revenged. When he left the
house a second time Kosti's head was a
sight to behold.
The cutter was arrested by Special
Officer John Tlerney and yesterday Al
derman Millar required him to furnish
3500 bail for his appearance at court,
which he did.
When Officer Tlerney went up to John
son's Patch Monday night to make the
arrest a certain Mascon Stelnlwitz In
terfered. Tlerney was not able to place
him under arrest then, but determined
to get Stelnlwitz at another time. What
was the officer's surprise to see the In
terferer walk into Alderman Millar's
office yesterday to attend the hearing
of his friend Fish. He presently found
himself a prisoner and when the case
against Fish was disposed of Stelnl
witz was arraigned and after a severe
reprimand by Alderman Miiiur was
given tho alternative of paying a
heavy fine or going to jail for thirty
days. He chose the former.
SOME TWO 0FTHESE THREE.

It was not Mayor Bailey's intention
yesterday to send In nominations for the
two vacancies on the police force at
Thursday's special mtlng of select
council, but It Is possible that he may,
Although he does not directly state

AT ST. THOMAS' COLLEGE.
Distribution of Prises and Reading
of Marks Yesterday Afternoon.
The final examinations at St. ThoaM'
halL Wyoming avenue, took place tut
week, but ownlg to the Inability of the
Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara and the direc
tors to came together at an earlier day,
the announcements of promotions and
distribution of prizes were put off until
yesterday afternoon.
At 3 p. m. Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara
accompanied by Rt. Rev. Bishop Hoban,
Rev. T. F. Coffey, of Carbondale. and
Rev. J. J. B. Feeley of the Cathedral,
passed Into the College Hall, where Rev.
D. J. MacGoldrlck, president of St.
Thomas', and Rev. W. A. Gorman, pro
fessor of languages, with the students,
awaited their coming. The programme
prepared was of the most Informal char
acter, as there was no attempt at
reading essays, or making addresses,
the reading of the marks obtained In the
final examinations, and the distribution
of prizes for excellence in study, made
up the exercise.
The subjects studied during the last
year (the larger boys Included the study
of a Greek play, Aeschylus simultan
eous with a play by Shakespeare), the
first book of Xenophon's Anabasis, the
writings of Nepos. the Art of Poetry,
the Odes and the Epodes of Horace,
some of the philosophical works of
Cicero, besides English, rhetoric and
mathematics.
The Junior boys began the Latin and
Greek grammars this year and so far
have mastered the etymology and
syntax, and have translated the His
.torla Sacra, Phaedrus' fables, some of
Cicero's easier letters, the greater part
of Caesar's Helvetian war and short
stories and fables in Greek.
Prizes were awarded among the high
er boys for highest average In final ex
amination to Edward F. Gibbons, and
Charles Webber; and to the Junior boys
for special work In Greek to John J
Ruddy, Joseph Lavelle, and Paul
O'Neill. Aft r the reading of the murks
and the distribution of prizes, lit. Rev-
Bishop O'Hara commended fliem for
the good results obtulned by the year's
Industry, and urged them on to still
greater results In tho coming year. Th?
work Just finished gives hope that St
Thomas' will soon have every room
filled, and thus afford Scranton an,
opportunity to tho public to see what
a perfectly equipped Catholic school
can accomplish. The announcements
for next September will be made In
a few days.

Come in and get these Pillow Sham
Holders we are now offering for 19c
each, and then you'll have lots of time
to congratulate yourself. They are as
good as those sold for 30c or 40c.
We lose money, of course, but then
Have you one of those little folding
work tables? They are always ready
when you want them, and may be
tucked out of the way when you don't.
For $1 we sell an excellent table
strong and durable. For $1.25, one
not a whit stronger, but just a little
bit finer.
