Whelan, pastor of the church, and spiritual director of the rather Mathews, was celebrant of the mass. Itev. Daniel A. Dunne was den con, and llev. Francis P. McNnlly sub deacon. The seimon was preached by ltev. Father Mark, rector of St. Mich ael's Monastery, of the Passlonlst or der, Hoboken, N. J. The music was under the direction of Haydn Kvnns. The regular church choir of twenty-live voices was assist ed in the rendition of the difficult mass essayed, by Lawrence's oichestia of twelve pieces. Miss Anna Durkln ac companied on the oigan. For an over ture the orchestra tendered "La Fies ta" march. The programme of tho mass was "Asperges," Wclgnnd; "Kyrle," Silas; "Credo" and "Sanctus," Gounod; "Bcnedlctus" and "Agnus Dei," Sllns. The solo parts were sus tained by Miss Kate Sullivan, soprano; Miss Kittle Gibbons, alto; John Fee ney, tenor, and John Connolly, bass. Tho feature of the vocal part of the progi amine was tho tenor solo In the Sanctus by Mr. Feeney. Ah may be Inferred from the promi nent position he holds In his order, the lenined and eloquent Passlonlsts, ltev. Father Mark Is one of their fore most preachers. He Is a man of com manding llgute, possessing a strong and resonant voice, an easy, giaceful delivery and a deliberate manner, con veying his Ideas In a most clear and concise way without superfluity of woids or phrases meant mostly for the ear. His elfort yesterday v. as more in tho natuie of a congratulatory address than a sermon. He began by charac terizing the occasion of n jubilee as one of joy, a time for repose In the consciousness of having nucceeded, of not having failed. THOSE WHO JUBILATE. It Is only tho victorious, he said, who Jubilate. Science will Jubilate over home new discovery. An army will celebrate with Joyous ceremony some victory on the battlefield. It Is not for having controlled electricity nor In having shed human blood that we jubilate, but rather over triumphs far more grand and noble the emancipa tion of the slavery of man's soul from the animal within him, making man, thereby, less an animal and more an angel. We rejoice because suffering has been made less, wretchedness has been decreased, slaves made fewer. The time Is not far distant when drunkenness was not the crime It Is today. There was a day when de bauchery marked almost every occa sion of festivity, when drinking to ex- J, C. GALLAGHER, President of the Father Mathew Society. cess was the rule rather than tho ex ception. Would society undertake the same thing today? Would a drunken man dare present himself at a respect able festal board? Would a man un der the Inlluence of drink go Into re spectable society? No, the doors of respectability are barred against the diunkaid. You have created this sen timent that drunkenness Is Incompati ble with respectability. You have ta booed those dangerous and unbecoming old social customs. You have taught men not only to look upon temperance, but total ab stinence, with a favorable eye. Tho total abstinence society was In eaily days regarded us a sort of league of reformed drunkards, deserving com mendation fon their good Intentions and good resolutions, and pity for the frail ty and weakness of will which made necessary that they should band to gether to help each other contiol his 4PW ., , lif li appetite, Now It Is the center of re spectability In tho eyes of the commun ity, and one of the greatest moral so cial powers than can be Introduced Into a community. And we have non Catholics working along these same lines, now, putting us to shumc by their efforts and successes In many instances. WHO THE HUHO IS. Emerson defines a hero, tritely, when ho says ho does what others fear to do. Some men hold that they ought to use Intoxicants for fear they may bo thought to bo weak-willed or reformed drunkards If they totally abstain from drinking. In this regard the total ab stainer Is a hero, and by Inducing oth ers to abstain he creates heroism. There are good men who drink, but no one says they aie better men for It. Gicat and noble men may have drank, but they were never canonized for It. It may not have been a bar to canon ization, while there huve been those who were canonized for the abstentldn. Temperance is a vlttue; total abstin ence Is thu uxtlemo practice of that virtue. The reverend speaker also congratu lated the society on Its anniversary and the parish In having such a so ciety In Its midst, and closed by advis ing the society to persevere In Its lnud able endeavors that It might double the causes for jubilation when the time of Its golden Jubilee rolled around. Tonight the Jubilee celebration will assume a sociable form. The exercises will begin at 8 o'clock with a banquet in St. David's hall, at which covers will be laid for 400, and to which have been Invited as guests many prominent Scrantonlans, of the clergy and laity, Catholic and non-Catholic. Following the banquet there will be a short social session In the rooms of St. Leo's bat talion, which aie underneath the hall I and when this Is concluded there will be a ball In the banquet hall. J. C. Gallagher, piesldent of the society, will piesldo at the banquet, and M. S. Lavelle will bo chairman of the social session. Prominent local speakers will be heard at both events, and at tho social session there will be a number of musical selections and declamations. FIVE PRESIDENTS LIVING. Of the nineteen presidents who have occupied the chair during the quarter of a century of the society's existence, five of them are participating In the present festivities. They are il. S. La velle, John McTlernnn, James H. Brown, John H. McNulty and J. C. Gallagher. Through the Father Mathews 2,791 men have taken the pledge dlieet from Its presidents and as many more possibly have become total abstainers through the influence of societies It has helped to organize, such as the St. Paul's, St. Leo's, Knights of Father Mathew, St. John's, of Pino Brook, and St. John's, of the South Side. The Hyde Park Father Mathew so ciety Itself was organized through the St. Mary society of Piovldence, repre sented by a delegation consisting of John Willis, John Comerford, James Sunny nnd John Flynn. Rev. N. J. McManus, of Providence, then con nected with tho cathedral, was Its fltst spliltual director. Rev. P. T. Iloche, deceased, was its second, and Rev. J. B. Whelan, the present spiritual di rector Is the third. The society now has 175 members on Its rolls and Is financially also one of the strongest societies In the Diocesan union.

From the opinions expressed by base ball writers on tho Eastern league cir cuit it Is plain that Scranton's hopes are viewed with respect. GrltUn is be ing given credit for gatheilng around him a lot of players whose quality 1 tipped to be better than fair, ll Is ad mitted that the old player reset ved and the new ones signed wl'l form a combination fast and stiong. Certainly the early make-up la not being looked upon with an Indifference like that of last year. Although $230 advance; monatf has been paid Ollle Beard, last yfjrs Roch ester shortstop, there Is a hltcli In the deal. The. Rochester owners had given' Griflln permission to negotiate but Inter withdrew their consent. However, thrie Is but little cause to believe th.it Beard won't be signed eventually. His play ing ability is recognized by the Roch ester owners but they object to him on personal niou.ids. With such a condi tion it Is not possible that they will keep him. In addition to Beard, Sei.ui ton has hope.i of securing Fran' Boyd, the Itochest"i' ralohor, whose proba'ile lelease can he attributed to a c.uiso like that In Beard's case. Harper has not signed but theie is nothing to indicate that he will fail to do so. Bonner's slm, attire has, been se cured and that sets at rest any tears that he mlirht not bo on hand for .the piactlce season. Scranton's piactlce schedule ha3 been storied and includes games at home and abroad. The Cuban Giants have been booked for April 15 and 10. On the 20th and 21st the club plays at Baltimore. While South the club will play at Wanh liiBton, Philadelphia and Georgetown college. On the 23th, Giiflln's men will meet the Olyphant Brow ns at Athletic"' park. ALL POSITIONS FILLED. Already every position on the team Is filled, including two catchers, live pltcheis and four outfielders. Follow ing Is a list of the men actually signed up to date: Catchers, O'Neill and Gun sun; pitchers, Glllon, Wellner, Morse, Yerkes, Proctor; flist base, Massey; second base, Bonner; shortstop, Moss, thlid base, Magulre; loft Held, Eagan; center Held, Walter; light Held, O'Brien and Meaney. In addition to those play ers there is shortstop Beard, who Is as good as signed; Catcher Boyd, who may beseemed; ntcher Harper, whos? signature is only a question of time; and the erratic southwlng, Sir. Richard Brown, whose good arm cannot support a poor backbone and who will probably Bet the conge. To a man up a tree, the team looks to bo complete, including, of course, tome of the plnyers last mentioned. 3t is likely that Manager Grlllln will hold to the men he has In hand, keep the lilies tight on the others, and uet an other pitcher if possible. No rhn.net 3 will be taken on being shorthanded In the box department. FIRM IS NOW MILLER & WATTS. Numerous Ctiniigci to He Mudu at the .lliller Drrised Heel' House.
