This year's graduating class from
the Scranton high Bchool the first that
will leave the new building Is the larg
est In the history of the Scranton public
schools. Principal George Phillips' latest
and final summing up shows that the
clasB will number sixty-two persons,
of whom the greater number, ns has
always been the rule, aro young la
dles. The now currlculmn being far more
advanced than the discarded series of
studies and tho generally Increased ef
ficiency of the school has resulted In
keeping the highest average of stu
dents somewhat lower than that of pre
vious years.
Tho valedictorian of this year's class
is Miss Luella Warren, with an average
of 93. The rest of the seven honor
graduates are; Miss Cora Relph, Miss
Josle Stevans, Sol Drlesen, George
Walter, Miss Leone Gregory and Miss
Lillian Brooks. Miss Helph will be the
salutntorlan.
ON'LY SnVKN HONORS.
In former yeats the number of hon
or students has been ten, but the com
mencements exercises have always
rroven too lengthy with this number
of participants, and the curtailment
this year will not only better the en
tertainment, but has also created a
more earnest struggle for place3 by
the high school pupils. The commence
ment night this year will be on Juno
18. The exercises will be In line with
those of former years, with tho ex
ception that no presents of Mowers or
gifts In any form will be received on
the stage by the pupils, per the recent
ly Issued mandate of the board of
control.
The class of '97 has already organ
ized with the following officers: P. E.
Kllcullen, president; George Orr, vice
president: Mlsa Margaret Tuopp, sec
retary, and Miss Lela Porter, treas
urer. Mr. Kllcullen, the president, Is also
editor or "High. School Impressions,"
the school Journal which was success
fully launched this term and has been
successfully maintained through Mr.
Kllcullen's energetic efforts.
THE CLASS MOTTO.
The class motto Is "Be earnest," In
scribed In Latin. Announcements have
been ordered and a class pin decided
upon. The pin will be a pretty combi
nation of blue and gold, the class colors.
A gold wreath with a background of
blue and the Inscription "S. H. S."
" '97" is the form of tho msmento. A
new departure which Is being talked of
by the class Is a "class day." This has
not been definitely decided upon, but
probably will be before commencement
day. Another matter which Is being
discussed Is the weartng or not the
wearing of "full drew suits" by the
gentlemen. This li a matter of real
perplexity. The only opposition to the
gentle Idea Is the fact that It would es
tablish a precedent which might be
hard to follow by future classes, how
ever their members might wish It. This
matter Is In doubt.
A complete list of this year's gradu

MISS DORSEY'S PUPILS.
Tlicy Cnvo nu Interesting Ilccitnl in
Her Studio,
Miss Dorsey's studio was crowded
last evening to hear her pupils In their
fifth monthly recital. Tho rendition of
one of Eugene Field's poema by Miss
Susie Gross was excellent. Miss Gross
possesses a rare musical voice which
Bho uses to great advantage. Miss
Elizabeth Moyle and' Miss Mary E. Bar
rett were excellent In tho ports as
signed them.
"The Minuet," by Miss Ollvo Jad
wln, showed Mlsi Jadwln's work In Del
sarto had not been In vain. Miss An
nie Tlerney recited "Llttlo Golden
Hair," by Carleton, In charming style,
while Miss Carrie Hess and Miss Cora
Bchotter greatly amused tho audience
by "The Duel" ami "Pat and the Pig,"
respectively.
Miss Cornelia Moredock kept her au
dience In roars of laughter by 'Carol
Bird's Christmas Dinner Party," which
h twite in a manner worthy of tho
highest prats',
Tho treat of the evening was "ftol-
lege Oil Cans," as recited by Professor
Arthur L. Dorsey. His Impersonation
of each character was faultless, and
moved his hearers alternately to laugh
ter and tears.
Tho music furnished by the Held
brothers and Arthur L. Tlsdel was a
charming feature of the evening's pro
gramme. Mlsa Dorsey's ability as an
Instructor was evidenced by tho ar
rangement and execution of so excel
lent a programme.
FLYNN IS ELECTED.
Supreme Court So Decrees Three Months
After He Has Finished Serving
Out Ills Term.
Decisions In two Lackawanna cases
were handed down yesterday by the
Supreme court. Tho finding of the
lower court was reversed In the con
tested election case of Edward J.
Burke against John J. Flynn and Flynn
was declared elected. Thla contest
comes from the Third ward of Olyphant
and1 grew out of tho. election held In
February, 1891. Flynro received CS votes
for councilman and Burke C3.
A contest was Instituted and a re
count showed that each had received
CO votes. The hearings before the con
test commissioner disqualified 25 votes.
Thirteen of these were found to have
voted for Flynn, eleven for Burke and
one was go defective that It was Im
possible to tell who It was for.
Three of the votes which Burke re
ceived were attacked by the respond
ents on the ground that they had not
been marked In accordance with the
provisions of the Baker ballot law, the
X In two cases being In the wrong po
sition and the other case being absent
altogether the voters marking his bal
lot with, a "one."
Judge Archbald decided that this
marking did not meet with the exact
requirements of the law, but as the
voters Intention was clearly shown lie
would not nullify the votes.
On this ground the case was appealed
and by the decision It will hereafter
be necessary for election boards to be
particular as to the marking of th
ballots. Warren & Knapp aro the at
torneys for Flynn. Flynn's term ex
pired last February. x
In the case of the Berlin Iron Bridge
company' nsalnst J. W. Bonta appel
lant, tho supreme coure refused the re
argument prayed for by Bonta, This
was a suit brought by the Bridge com
pany to recover $2,000, balance duo for
the erection of the Bonta Glass com
pany's plant nt Mooslc. Bonta refus
ed payment because the contract was
not completed In time. Warren &
Knapp are attorneys for the Bridge
company and A. A. Vosburg nnd W.
II. Stanton for Bonta.

John McMillan's vote was disquali
fied without question, he having voted
on first papers. Some doubt was
thrown on the vote of O. J. Marcy, be
cause It was found ho had been as
sessed In the First ward of Scranton.
Henry Miller's vote was also put In
the doubtful column, he having voted
on his father's papers, and not having
the papers at hand to prove his con
tention. He says ho can get them,
however. Fred Harper's taxes were
brought Into question, but It Is expect
ed he will be able to save his vote
when called In rebuttal.

Interested Hero Now.
As announced In Tho Tribune some
months ago the Frothlngham theater
will le known as the Lyceum next sea
son and It will be practically under the
same management as the Academy of
Music. At tho last named house only
popular priced companies will nppear
while tho Lyceum will book the first
class atti actions. This will give the
city a greater variety ns well as a
greater number of theatrical attrac
tions than It had last season. Papers
pertaining to tho Joint management aro
being prepared and pending the signa
tures of the parties Interested being at
tached to them there Is difficulty In
ascertaining the exact facts.
John D. Mlshler nnd M. H. Burgun
dcr no lonser constitute the firm of
Mlshler & Burgunder with theaters at
Scranton, Wllkes-Barre, Reading, Ha
zleton and other places. Mr. Mlshler
has reached that time of life when hn
no lonser cares to look after tho de
tails pertaining to the management of
a large circuit of theaters and has sur
rendered his Interest In the Academy
of Music in this city and the Grand
Opera house in Wllkes-Barre. Mr.
Burgunder gives up his Interest In tho
other theaters of the circuit and has
made an arrangement with Wagner
and Rels, lessees of the Lyceum, con
cerning the theatrical business In this
city and Wllkes-Barre.
WILL DIVIDE THE BUSINESS.
Mr. Burgunder In the lessee of the)
Academy of Music In this city, and
although it Is not ua modern In its ap
pointments as the Lyceum it demon
strated during the season that has Just
closed that it can command a large
slice of the local patronage. Mr. Bur
gunder also holds the lease of tho
Grand Opera house of Wllkes-Barro
and as he Is one of the stockholders of
the company that Is erecting the new
opera house for that city It Is reason
able to suppose that lie will also be Its
lessee.
Wagner & Rels have been anxious to
get a theater In Wllkes-Barre as they
could, do their booking to much better
advantage If they could place compa
nies In both cities. The new arrange
ment solves the difficulty.
The Grand opera house In Wllkes
Barre will be run on the same basis as
the Academy of Muslo with, prices
ranging from 15 to 75 cents and the
first-class attractions will be billed for
the Lyceum and the new Wllkes-Barre
theater. This arrangement will pre
vent any fighting between the houses
and make It possible for the manage
ment of theso houses to get better
terms from tho companies they sign
contracts with.
MANAGERS OF THE HOUSES.
Johh L. Kerr will be succeeded as
manager of the Lyceum by Mr. Fer
rlngton, of 'Wllllamsport, who luxd
cliarge of Wagner & Rels' theater at
that place during the season which has
just closed, A. J. Duffy will be treas
urer. There Is little doubt but that Harvey
Long will continue to be manager of
tho Academy of Music. His success
with that house last season demon,
strates that he has properly guaged the
theatrical business In this olty.

SPOKE ABOUT LAUNbRY.
Most Approved Methods of Making
Clothes Perfectly CleanLast Lec
ture This Afternoon.
"The Laundry" was the subject of
Mies Parloa's lecture yesterday after
noon. The ladles who were furtunate
enough to attend listened to a very
helpful discussion of a factor In domes
tic economy Which, as Miss Parloasald,
"wo keep as mutch ob possible out of
sight and indeed out of mind."
MlS3 Parloa deliberated upon the Im
portance of the laundry In Its relation
to health, comfort and decency la life.
It Is very Important that tho fabrics
should be washed In such a manner
that all dirt shall be removed and yet
without too great a strain upon the
tissue of the fabric.
"Tho beat authorities' said the lec
turer, "are divided as to the best means
of doing this. Hard rubbing wears the
fabric; chemicals loosen, tho dirt and
thus relievo tho cloth from much hard
rubbing, but at the earhe time the
chemical does not' stop with tho dirt
but attacks tho fabric also."
Miss Parloa advocated, an Intelligent
use of chemicals to old in loosening
the dirt but If card bo not taken she
thought It better to use soap and water
and tho extra rubbing. Tho great
fault Is that the chemical Is commonly
expected to do all the work and not
simply as an old.
The lecturer then discussed tho va
rious opinions of laundresses on the
point of soaking or rinsing the clothes
before washing. She thought that by
allowing the clotlwa to remain In the
water for several hours the dirt would
yield more readily.
The day for washing was designated
by Miss Parloa as Monday, It being
the generally accepted day but some
housekeepers employ Monday for pre
paring for the washing. This Is a
matter which rests with' the opinion of
the housekeeper Individually, Miss
Parloa advised that clothing be mend
ed before being put in the wash. This
.avoids the probability of further dam
age during the process of washing,
drying and Ironing. The lecturer then
gave instructions In detail" according to
tho plan which hhe has studied.
This proved thoroughly beneficial and
Interesting. Instruction was also giv
en for the preparation of blueing water
nnd particularly did the lecturer tell of
the peculiar changes In flannel fabrics
when In water. "Starching" and
"stains" also received minute attention.
During the lecture Miss Parloa read
some of, the rule3 on the subject which
she has laid down In her valuable book
"The Young Housekeeper." Tho last
lecture will be given this afternoon on
the subject of "Table Service." This
wilt probably prove the best lecture of
the course as It discusses a particular
branch of home management which
is the most liable to comment, either
complimentary or otherwise.
Miss Parloa has given much thought
and the added result of careful obser
vation to this subject and her views
will be Invaluable.. The lectures are
given at the Young Men's Christian
Association hall; single admission, 75
cents.
