A TALENTED YOUNG WOMAN.
.Hiss Itcrtliu (Jutland Surprised
Scrantoniiuis nt tho Actulcmy.
Miss Bertha Galland hns good rea
son to feel jrntlfied at the excellent Im
pression she made last night on tho
fashionable audience Hint lllled tho
Acnilcmy of Music. It was n hard test
on her versatility, was tho programme
arranged and her successes must have
been all tho more gratifying. If tho
truth be told the audience expected lit
tle from the young woman. Many of
those present know her when shu re
sided In this city nnd remembered her
well when she left hero something
over live years ago. Then she was a
miss In short frocks and they could
scarcely make themselves believe that
the school girl they had known could
have undergone the- severe training
necessary to make a passable actress,
much less u star.
When Miss Galland made her first
appearance In the balcony scone fioni
"Homeo and Juliet" she was given the
glad hand of recognition us was her
due, but when tho scene Was finished
she received an ovation for her demon
strated cleverness und the curtain was
rung up twice to enable her to ac
knowledge the applause showered on
her from all parts of tho house. In that
scene it, was shown that Miss Galland
possesses undoubted dramatic talent,
seir-posession and grace and more
over a voice that Is sweet, llexlblo and
cultivated. In the scene In Friar Law
rence coll nnd the potion scone from
the fourth net of "Homeo and Juliet"
Miss Galland proved that she has noi
only training and cleverness, but dra
matic lire, as well as a nice dlscrlmlna-
itlon which prevents tho llro from be
coming a conflagration. To the tense
dramatic passages her voice does not
lend Itself as gracefully as to the soft
phrases of love. There Is something In
Its quality that makes you say "this
Is but a simulated passion." Tho
voices belles the earnestness of man
ner nnd force.
In the scenes from Macbeth this de
fect of voice was strongly apparent.
Try as she would she could not con
vince the audlenoe that she was Lady
Macbeth. It may be a defect that
time and experience will blot out, bin
not improbably It finds its origin In the
temperament of the young woman. If
that be true It will limit the range of
her repertoire. As Lady Macbeth It
cannot be said that she was a success.
As Juliet she was and. she als.o de
serves much praise for tho manner in
which she Impersonated Lady Teazle
In two scenes from "The School for
Scandal." Act four of "Leah, the Foi
suken," closed the evening's perform
ance. In this the dramatic passages
wore more effectively recited than
wore those In Macbeth. It was after
11.30 when the curtain rung down.
Miss Gallnnd received fine support
from that finished actor, George Edgar,
Henry Clifton and Leijn Hall. She Is
a most promising young woman and
will undoubtedly win fame In her
chosen profession. She made her stage
debut last November and has since
then been playing in the New England
and Middle states. She will not bo
seen In New York city this season, al
though she has made that city her
homo since she left Scranton.
Her mother and brother, Seymour
Galland, of New York city, saw last
night's performance. It is the second
time Mr. Galland has seen his. sister act
since she went on tho stage.

Four hundred persons last night at
tended the banquet and linll which
luaiked the closing of the celebration
of the silver Jubilee of the Hyde Park
Father Mathow society.
At S o'clock the members of tho so
ciety, with their ladles, and the friends
whom they had Invited to assist them
In their jubilation, began to gather in
the rooms of St. Leo's battalion on
the second Hoof of St. David's hall
building, and after half an hour spent
in Introductions nnd chat, all rewalrsd
to the hall upstairs, where Caterer M.
J. Kelly and a corps of thirty wait
resses had prepared a royal feast. The
tables were arranged In live-rows, ex
tending the entire length of the hall,
and with tasty decorations of llowers
and a profusion of largo banquet'
lamps, presented a most attractive ap
pearance. Lawrence's ordlie'stra if
eight pieces wns seated on the nlat
form at the bend of the hall and dur
ing tlie discussion of the excellent and
bountiful menu, discoursed uhliveninu:
music.
At the head of tho central tuble was
seated President J. C. Gallagher, toast
master of the evening, nnd at either
hand were the guests of honor,
among whom were Ilov. N. J. McMnn
us, of Holy liosury church, Providence;
Itev. E. J. Melley, of St. John's, South
Side; Itev. John Loughrnn, of St. Jo
seph's, Mlnooka; Judges F. W. Gun

Diocesan union; Hon. T. V. Powdcily,
Attorney M. T. Conry, P. McCrea, D.
J. Campbell, C. G. Boland, P. J. Mc
Cann. LETTEIIS OF HEGHET HEAD.
At the conclusion of tho dining,
Toastmaster Gallagher took a nosltlon
nt CL desk placed on the stage, and
formally opened tho second part of
tho nroCTamme. After a brlof but
hearty speech of welcome, he rend let
ters of regret from Hon. P. P. Smith,
Hon. . John E. Barrett and .13. 33.
Stures.
Hon. T. V, Powderly was then Intro
duced to respond to the first- toast of
the evening, "America." After a few
happy remarks to the effect that It was
the first time he had ever seen a crowd
of Father Mathow men full and some
thoughts apropos to the theme ns
signed him, he proceeded In his usual
eloquent style to commend the work of
the Father Mnthew society nnd to
point out the good that It had done in
the community.
Attorney M. T. Conry spoke on
"Qhristlnnlty the True Source of Civi
lization." After contrasting tho condi
tion of society under pagan and Chris
tian domination, he paid a high tribute
to total abstinence by averring that
Christianity had no greater or more
effective ally than such societies as the
Father Mathews.
Hev. N. J. McMnnus, the first spiri
tual director of the society, whfn
called upon for a few remarks, com
mented on the fact that the occasion
was mi object lesson, inasmuch as It
proved that viands lose none of their
savor because not llavorod with wine.
He congratulated the society on tho
benefits It had conferred on Its mem
bers and the community, and said that
while Tunny possibly may view a total
abstinence society as a league of re
formed drunkards, as Father Mark
put It, It was better, he thought, to bo
a reformed drunkard than a confirmed
one.
.juuge j-juwarus in a happy way ex
tended his congratulations, keeping
his nudltors continually applauding- or
laughing by his eloquence nnd wit.
Ills statement that Great Britain was
Christianized by three Welsh boys, Da
vid, Andrew nnd Patrick, was particu
larly provocative of laughter and
cheers.
THE DAY AVE CELEBRATE.
II. C. Gallagher responded to tho
toast, "The Day Wo Celebrate." He
sketched briefly a history of the socie
ty and paid a fitting tribute to the vet
eran Father Mathew man, Hubert Mc
Hale, who has been a member of the
society over since Its organization.
"The Cadets" was the toast which
Charles Canavan responded to, and
John II. Devine hnd for his them "Sis
ter Societies." Both were entertaining
and happy In their speeches, and were
warmly applauded.
When the speechmaklng had boon
brought to a close, Maurice T. Walsn,
representing a committee of the socl?
ty, asked the guests to remain for a
minute, nnd then advancing to the
front of the ball room, rend the -ol-lowlng
resolution;
Testimonial of esteem to President Jnmcs

gratitude.
Ilesolvecl, Thnt no measuro for our so

slro thut ho may bo our president twenty
live years from toduy.

DIAMOND CUT DIAMOND.
Developments of Yesterday in the Fu:d
Between Father hvanowskl and
Editor Dangcl Lnngowski.
The differences existing between
Hev. Bronlslaw Iwnnowskl, tho Polish
clergyman, and Dangel Langowskl, the
editor of a Polish weekly unuer, ap
pear to be further than ever from being-settled.
Yesterday Iwunowskl was
arrested by Constable ntehnrd Barron,
of Prlceburg, charged with having
broken Into the house of William
Kregger, In Dickson City, and in
Searching for Langowskl, whom he
believed was hiding In the house, de
molished a bed and Injured Kregger's
daughter, .Martha.
It Is alleged that this occurred on
Friday night, and thnt Father Iwan
owskl carried a shotgun with him to
Intimidate Langowskl, He was accom
panied by Constable Jack Murray, who
was to have captured the editor In the
event of their finding him. It nppears
that during the latter part of last week
the priest had Langowskl arrested and
Alderman Millar, before whom the
hearing was held, set ball at $1,000,
which wns furnished by Langowdtl,
but afterwards found to bo worthless.
It was to recapture the editor that
tho priest and the constable visited
Kregger'3 house. Yesterday morning
Constable Murray found Langowskl
and took him to the county jail, where
the, authorities refused to accept him,
as Langowskl had a certificate from
Alderman Millar, showing that on the
previous dny, solid ball had been fur
nished, and thnt he therefore had n
right to his liberty. It Is said that
Constable Murray was drunk and Lan
gowskl swore out a warrant yesterday
afternoon for the arrest of Father
Iwanowskl nnd the constable on tho
charge of conspiring to falsely Im
prison. The warrants will be served
today.
When Ilov. Iwanowskl was arrested
yesterday on tho charge preferred by
William Pregger, that of breaking Into
his house, displaying fire arms and de
molishing his furniture, the father fur
nished ball before Justice of the Peace
SllvinskI, of Dickson City.
Another charge was lodged against
Iwanowskl later In the day, In
Alderman Howe's court, by Mary
Langowskl, who charged that on Sun
day, Feb. 7. Father Iwanowskl public
ly stated from the pulpit of his church
that she was a dissolute character;
that she was living unlawfully with
a man. She also claims that he made
allusions, which, as they read In the
complaint, aro not presentable In a
newspaper.
A warrant was served on Father
Iwanowskl and he promised the con
stable to nppear in Alderman Howe's
court in the afternoon, which he failed
to do.
SOME WARDS ARE MODEST.
Xo Use for Strong Drink in the Tlirou
Hig South Side Wards.
There Is a falling off In the number
of license application this year as com
pared with 1S9C. The number last year
was C53. At 5 o'clock last evening when
the time for flllnc applications closed
for this year. Clerk of the Courts
Thomas had received G23 applications,
a decrease of twenty-three.
As In former years the Twelfth ward
has again decided that it can get
along without strong drink, not a single
application having been received from
that division of the city. The good
example set by the Twelfth ward Is
emulated to a degree by the neighbor
ing people for only three applications
are recorded from the whole South
Side, excluding the Eleventh ward.
The Nineteenth ward concluded It could
get along with one saloon and the
Twentieth asks only two.
The Eleventh ward sent in ten ap
plications. The Third ward is another
modest precinct, two licenses being
all that are prayed for. No license was
asked for the Wyoming House. The
entire list of application will be pub
lished in an early issue of The Tribune.
BOTH ARE IN THE COUNTY JAIL.
Neighbors from tho Flats .llnke Coun
ter Charges.
Patrick Murray and John Love, the
latter colored, are both languishing In
the county jail, primarily because they
were over zealous In cnuslng each oth
er's arrest and ultimately could nut
furnish ball In the sum of $300 each.
They are neighbors, residing on the
"Flats," and they had much conten
tion over the dumping place for gar
bage from their homes.
Murray caused to be sworn out a
warrant for the arrest of Love and
when given a hearing before Alderman
Millar, the defendant preferred a coun
ter charge against his complainant
with the results as above stated.
Captured nt Kxetor.
John Grablltch, who stabbed his
brother, Michael, In Pittston, last Fri
day, was yesterday captured at the
home of his cousin In Exeter township
by Constable Bennett and committed
to jail by Alderman Lofttis to await
tho result of the wounded man's ln
jo.'les. Dedication lit Iilaknly.
A new Methodist church will bo dedi

MAYOR WILL SIGN
THE ORDINANCE
Mis Signature Will Not He Affixed, How
ever, Until Tomorrow.
POLITICAL ASPECT OP MATTER
Action with Uofuronco to SoWor Or
dlnance Ilns Been Deferred Until
A nor Today's Klcutloif-H Wns
Hoped tho So'wcr Agitation Would
Cause the Defeat of Goorgu Wirth,
Kcpiib'ican Candidate for Council
in tho Nineteenth Vurd.
Mayor Bntley will sign the South
Side sewer ordinance. He has re
frained from hinting What his action
would be, but The Tribune Is assured
of his determination by an authority
that cnuriot he doubted.
Since the ordinance came into hi. 4
possession Mayor Bailey has personal
ly viewed It In a favorable light, but
was honest In his announcement that
he would be governed solely by the
wishes Of the property owners affected,
lie has meanwhile received more argu
ments for the sewer than against It.
There Is, however, attributed a poli
tical motive to his long delay In defi
nitely disposing of the measure. On
Feb. 2 tho ordinnnce wns delivered to
him from councils and from that dot"
he has fifteen tlaysi or to Wednesday
Inclusive In which to sign It. By with
holding his signature until after to-,
day's election there wns a design to
lessen the chances of the re-elect! m
of Geo. Wlrlh, jr., the Republican com
mon councilman from the Nineteenth
wurd, which Is contained In the new
sewer district.
POSITION OF MR. WIRTII.
Mr. Wlrth voted for tho ordinance on
third reading at the earnest solicita
tion of a mnjorlty -of his constituents.
He numbers nmonc his political sup
porters' many Democrats and Republi
cans, soino of whom are ngalnst the
sewer. Mnyor Bailey was pressed to
withhold his approval of the ordinance
until after election dny In order to
make it appear In tho Nineteenth ward
that- Councilman Wirth had supported
a lost cause and ngnlnst the wishes of
the people of the wurd.
The Democratic scheme has, how
ever, been revealed and the true rea
son of the mayor's tardiness has been
told about the ward with the result
that It will prove u boomerang to the
local Democratic politicians who ad
vised It.
In fact, the mayor's determination
to sign the ordinance ha3 been so plain
and well understood that yesterday It
