Mary Wllklns" now book, "JeromB"
(Harper & Bros.), one that holds a
fascination stronger, If anything, than
her foimer stories. It Is all about a
br.y that is, he was a v ut the be
Klnnlr.fr of the book, bu t as the title
Indicates, lie grows to be "a poor man,"
who has a hard, pitiful life, even lor a
New England farmer, where life Is of
ten hard and pitiful beyond belief.
There are a number of the most delight
ful characters In It. They are pictures
k t ns pastels, beautiful as the mem
ory of a hoppy dream. Ileie Is Miss
Camilla: "Par from being young, hut
Bhe was old as a Aem or un angel
might be, with the lovely meaning of
her still uppermost and most evident.
Carnlllu, In her youth, had beoa of a
rare and delicate beauty, which had
given her fame throughout the country
side, and she held the best of It still,
as one holds Jewels In an old casket,
and as a poem written In obsolete lan
guage contains still Its first grace of
thought. Her body and her soul had
been amenable to all discipline. She had
leaned sweetly against her crosses, In
stead of straining away from them with
tierce cramps and agonies of resist
ance. Camilla's graduated llounces of
lilac silk, slightly faded, having over
It a little spraying mist of gray, trim
med her full skirt to her slender waist,
girdled with a narrow bWt fastened
with a little clasp set with amethysts.
A great nmethyst broach pinned tho
lace nt her throat. She wore a lace
cap, and over that, flung loosely, drap
ing her shouldeis and shading her face
with Its uoft mesh, a great shawl or
veil of fine white lace wrought with'
t-lirlgs. Her blonde hair, which,
In turning gray, had got a creamy in
stead of a silvery lustre, like her old
lace, was looped softly and disposed In
lmlf curls over her ears."
The pen picture of Miss Camilla with
little Luclnn in the arbor, and the four
great yellow cats, lying asleep In the
sun, Is one to which the reader turns
again and again.
Among tho generous gifts received
for the new Home for the Friendless
none Is more thoroughly appreciated
than tho handsome contribution of
Charles Schlager of the entire hard
ware supplies for the building. The
value of this portion of the furnishings
Is about $700.
It Is nonsenso to talk about the van
Uy of woman and tho utter Impossibil
ity she finds In existing without being
In proximity to a mirror. The other day
down tho street was a man. He was a
real pretty man' with curls, a slender
figure: und a pnctlo cast of countenance.

The announcement that Inmrnneo

In effect during a year after taking out

SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS.
Tlicre Is a Movement on Foot to Estab
lish Such an Institution in
This Clly.
The "Positive Facts About Scran
ton" department of Tho Tribune may,
before many days. Include among Its
announcements a lino reading "Schoo'
of Flno Arts."
A movement Is afoot to establish
such an institution hero and If It re
ceives the due encouragement It de
serves, the school will be a reality be
fore the year Is out.
Frank Carluccl, the well-known con
tractor, Is father of the project, and
stands ready to do as much ns the next
man, as he put lt.toward carrying It out.
The movement Is a phllanthroplc.rathcr
than commercial, one. Mr. Carluccl,
who Is an artist In soulpturlng, a con
noisseur In painting and an enthusiast
In every way In these two leading
branches of finer nrt, conceived tho
Idea of establishing the school and im
parted It to several of his fellow pro
motors and lovers of art.
They applauded the Idea and assured
him of their heartiest co-operation If
he would take the matter In hand. He
hesitated to do this on account of
his time being so entirely taken up
with his extensive business Interests
and here the matter rests for the pres
ent. One of the parties to whom Mr. Car
luccl first broached tho subject said
to 0 Tribune reporter that ho will per
sonally see that the project shall not
be allowed to have any considerable
rest. "It Is too grand and beneficent
a scheme to Jeopardize by letting It rest
for a moment. Now, while the promo
tors are enthusiastic Is In my opinion
tho time for action and I trust that I
will be ublo to set the project In mo
tion again at once. Tho op
portunity, the men and the means
aie at hand and all that Is no
cessury Is to find some one to take ac
tive charge of It. This will not be such
a difllcult task I verily believe and to
my mind tho school is an ussured fact."
Some of the details have already been
discussed and a sort ot policy ugreed
upon. First of nil It is proposed to
make the school exclusive. Only those
who bliow1 aptitude for one or tho other
of the arts will bo received. Then after
a trial If they demonstrate that they
possess tho genius, without which the
true artist cannot be, they will bo
made u protcgo of the school and will
recclvo such patronage as the manage
ment may deem Is meet for their tal
ents. The Idea of the promotors ns may
bo readily judged from the ubovo is to
discover and develop genius and to do
It all for tho pure lovo of art. As Mr.
Carluccl himself says, thero Is no
doubt many a boy and girl In this
city and vicinity who, with proper op
portunities, would make his or her
mark In tho field of art, and It would be
not only a matter to deplore but a
crime to neglect these "gems" that
"dark unfathomed caves of ocean
bear."
The movement will, without doubt,
receive the moral support of all the
substantial support of thoso whose
means will admit and tastes prompt
to encourage such a worthy object.

CONVENTION DATE
County Ticket Is to 0c Nominated on
Tuesday. Aug. 24.

Nine of tho County Committeemen
Wore in I'nvor of ti I.ntu Convention
nnd Voted for September 7-Thcy
Wero Out-Voted, However, Eleven
Committeemen I'avorliig nn Early
Gathering of tho Clnns--Sonio of
tho Candidates.
At a meeting of tho Democratic
county committee In tho St. Charles
Hotel. Saturday night, It was decided
to hold the county convention on Tues
day, Aug. 24. Tho primaries will bo
held tho preceding Saturday. Music
Hall will probably bo the scene of tho
convention,
When tho committee was called to
order at S o'clock by County Chairman
Jennings there wero present David J.
Reedy, secretary; George S. Horn, Ed
ward Robinson, A. P. O'Donnell, An
thony Walsh, M. J. Donohoe. C. II.
Schadt, Joseph Taylor, Richard Man
Ban, Miles F. McDonald, all of Scran
ton; John E. Flynn, of Archbald; Jud
son Callender, of Clark's Oreen; F. J.
Fltzslmmons, of Scranton; M. F. Mc
Dermott, of Jermyn; P. F. Lawler,
of Jessup; James Pigeon and John F.
Mannlon, of Carbondale; John J.
Coyne, of Mlnooka; Frank R. Coyne,
of Old Forge, and M. AV. Cummlngs,
of Olyphant.
Mr. Jennings, after announcing the
object of the meeting, said that at tho
last county convention a list had been
complied of the vigilance committees
returned. This had been preserved,
but was anything but complete, as
many of the districts had not returned
vigilance committees. It was suggest
ed by the chairman that a number of
candidates for county offlccs were In
the hallway and might be called In and
consulted with reference to a time for
holding the county gathering. The
committeemen thought they were com
petent to wreslj with that subject
without receiving any assistance from
the candidates and declined to call
them in.
FIXING A DATE.
Colonel Fitzslmmon3 claimed the at
tention of the chairman nnd moved
that the convention be held on Tues
day, Aug. 24, and the primaries on Sat
urday, Aug. 21. Joseph Taylor amend
ed the motion by naming Aug. 31 as tho
date for the convention, but David J.
Reedy killed it by calling the atten
tion of tho committee to the fact that
the state convention meets on Aug. 31.
Then Mr. Taylor named the tlrst Tues
day In September as the time for hold
ing the convention.
Colonel Fltzslmmons took the floor
and made a speech favoring nn early
convention. He said tho Demo
cratic party wants men as candidates
this fall who are not nfrald to run, no
matter who are named by the Repub
lican party. The only possible argu
ment In favor of a late convention that
could be put forward, as ho viewed the
situation, is that the party might take
advantage of any blunders made by
the Republicans or soreness that might
result from their convention. No man
should be given a Democratic nomina
tion, he said, 'who first wants to know
tho Republican against whom he will
be pitted. A late convention, ho said,
would render It Impossible to get an
effective working organization per
fected In time to do tho work that will
bu necessary this fall.
It was again suggested, this time by
Mr. Taylor and M. W. Cummlngs, of
Olyphant, that the candidates be called
In and their sentiments obtained, but
the committee did not do so.
AN EARLY CONVENTION.
Mr. Taylor's amendment for a con
vention on Sept. 7 was -put and was
defeated by a vote of 11 to 0. The
motion of Colonel Fltzslmmons fixing
Aug. 24 as the date was then carried.
There promises to be a lively skir
mish for offices among the Democrats.
As yet no real effort to form a slato
has been made, but this week will see
one perfected In all probability. The
candidates say they cannot afford to
make a canvass for delegates single
handed and as an economy of time and
money propose to form a combination.
Attorney T. J, Duggan, candidate for
the district attorney nomination. It is
said, will not enter any of the com
binations unless circumstances should
force him to do so. He hns been mak
ing a single-handed flgnt for delegates
for weeks and will continue along that
line to the end, unless events of tho
week cause him to change his course.
During this week, the political gos
sips have It, delegates will be set up In
nearly all of the election districts of
lite county for Charles II. Schadt for
sheriff, M. J. Kelly for treasurer and
George S. Horn for district attorney.
This Is the nucleus of a county ticket.
To Carbondale has been allotted the
offlco of prothonotaiy and Matthew
Norton and John F. Wheeler aie prom
inent aspirants for tho ofllce. Whoever
can swing tho greatest number of
votes for the combination will have his
name placed on tho slate.
RECORDER OF DEEDS.
It Is thought deslrablo to award the
ofllce of recotder of deeds to a Ger
man and If this programme Is carrlel
out Frederick Warlike of the West
Side, may receivo tho nomination.
Frank Deckert of the South Side, one of
the most prominent Polish citizens ot
the county. Is also being talked of
for the office although he was origi
nally a candidate for register of wille.
If Declirvt can do more for the slate
on the South Side than "Warnko can
on the West Bide ho may be nominat
ed for recorder. School controller Ben
son Davis Is making a fight for the
nomination and so is ex-Recorder
James J. Healey. Thero is little llkl
hood from present Indications of tho
latter being successful.
Common Councilman James Grler
wants tho nomination for register of
wills and so does Jury Commissioner
John F. Mnnnlon of Carbondale. If
Frank Deckert 1b not the nominee for
recorder there is a strong llkellhool
that ho will bo named for register of
wills. For Jury Commlssoner gome of
the candidates aro J, J. Flynn, Arch
bald; Frank Doherty, Covington;
Thomas Prlco, Archbald; James Foley,
Olyphant.
The ulate will not ba without opposi
tion. In the first place P. J. Cannon
of the West Sido will try to succeed
M, J, Kelly on It as a candidate for
treasurer. If he Is unsuccessful It Is
highly probubla that another com
bination will be perfected, the plans of
which will bo mapped out by ex-Sheriff
John J. Fahey, who haB few superiors
In tho Democratic ranks as a political
general.
Ho is not now In very high favor
with tho rank and lllo of his purty
and fs moreover what Is known as a
cold Dumocrat. Hut he knows Lacka
wanna county like a book and he like
wise knows tho men who mould
tho aspect of political affairs In the
varlouB election districts. That means
much in a fight for delegates nnd In
handling delegates nfter they aro elect
ed. S. S, Spruks and John J. Flana
gan would not run away from tho
Democratic noinlnntion for sheriff but
they do not appear to bo making u
very active canvass for delegates.
Tho situation as tho nomination for
clerk of tho courts has been compli
cated by the nnhouncement mado by
Hon. Frank R. Coyne of Old Forge
that ho Is a candidate. Heretofore
the field has been occupied by M. H.
Grlllln of Uellcvuo and John J. Dur
kln of tho West Side who opposed
John II. Thomas three years ago.
Saturday primaries were held In tho
Fourth Legislative district at which
delegates wero elected to attend a
convention to be held In Prlceburg
Tuesday at which delegates to tho
Democratic statu convention will bo
held.
This afternoon the standing com
mittee of tho Third dBtrlqt will meet
In Coyne's hotel, Mlnooka, to select a
time nnd place for holding a conven
tion to elect delegates to tho stato
convention.
LATHERS WILL STRIKE.,
, i
They Want Sixteen Ccnls Per Bundle,
But Thirteen and Fourteen Cents:
Arc Now Paid. i
The strike of the Scranton Lathers'
union begins this morning. Its object
is to Increase their wages from thir
teen and fourteen to sixteen cents per
bundle of lath. The lower figures are
now paid by lath sub-contractors, boss
plasterers and some contractors, falx
teen cents is the standard wage rate,
according to the claims of the union.
At a meeting of the union In Hul
bert's hall, Friday night, It was de
cided to strike, and a resolution to that
effect was adopted. Sub-committees
of three members each wero appointed
to see that no union men broke faith
and to watch the progress of lath worlc
now under way on the larger Jobs
about the city. Albert Drake, presi
dent of the union, was made master qf
tho strike. The union numbers about
fifty men and they aro considered the
best workmen In the city at their par
ticular trade.
A fact which Indicates that the strike
may not be wholly successful Is the
failure ofthe lathers to secure the co
operation of other and allied trades
unions. That Is usually done when a
movement like the present one is con
templated. The Building Trades coun
cil, which Is made up of five members
from each of the local labor unions,
met Monday evening, July 26, two
weeks ago. At that meeting the strike
question was not even mentioned and
not a lather was present.
It Is claimed by the lathers that up
to a few years ago they were paid as
high as eighteen and twenty cents per
bundle, but that the rate fell below tho
ilnally adopted standard of sixteen
cents. Boss plasterers, they claim, who
let the lathing patt of their Jobs to
lath sub-contractors, are responsible
for further cuts until the present low
rate of thirteen and fourteen cents
makes an nverage reduction of thirty
cents per day in wages.
Members of allied building trades do
not view with much seriousness the
threatened strike. They say It cannot
cripple tho work now In hand without
the, at least, moral support of allied
unions. It Is believed further that the
strike has not been authorized by na
tional officers.
President Drake, of the Lathers'
union, said to a Tribune reporter last
night: "We have secured at least tho
moral support of tho Plasterers' and
the Carpenters' unions and feel certain
of success. There aro no big Jobs that
will bo affected by the strike, which
will positively begin tomorrow morn
ing." FUNERAL OF PATRICK JORDAN.
Occurred Saturday Morning from St,
Peter's Cnthedrnl.
One of the largest funerals that has
taken place from thu Cathedral in
years was that of tho late Patrick Jor
dan, whose Interment took place Sat
urday. The remains were lemoved
from the family residence, 408 Linden
street, to the church at 9.30, by AV11
llam Dawson, A. F. O'Boyle, M. J.
Kelly, Martin McDonough, Anthony
Walsh, of this city, and James Timlin,
of Jermyn, these pall-bearers repre
senting various divisions of the An
cient Order of Hibernians, of which
the deceased was a prominent member.
Preceding them walked the flower bear
ers, J. P. McAndrews, of Winton,
Frank E. McCaffrey, of Jermyn; Hon.
F. R. Coyne, of Old Forge; P. H. Dur
kln, Philip McIIugh and John Mc
Grath, of this city. Among tho (loral
tributes which they carried wero a
harp from District Attorney John R.
Jones, an nnchor from E. Robinson's
Sons, a pillow from the A. O. II., a
star from the Heptasophs and a scales
of Justice from the sons of the deceased.
At tho Cathedral a solemn high
mass of requiem was celebrated by
Rev. James F. Jordan, of Rendham,
a son of the deceased. Rev. James
W. Malono was deacon; Rev. J. J. n.
Feeley, sub-deacon, and Rev. M.E. Lof
tus, master of ceremonies, A num
ber of other priests were present In
tho sanctuary. Rev. J. W. Malono
preached the sermon, taking for his text
St. Luke xxl:31: "And take heed to
youi selves lest that day come
upon you suddenly." Tho sermon told
of the certainty of death and the ne
cessity of always being prepared to
meet it.
After the services at tho Cathedral
tho remains were taken to Olyphant
for burial. At the gravojtho "benedic
tions" was sung by a nrtltrber of priests.

LABOR MEN AND y
CITY OFFr aLS
Is Claimed That the Fnrr Act Is Being
Violated Here.
EIGHT HOURS FOR A DAY'S WORK
Heads of Departments I.inhlo to Ro
movnl from Offlco nnd n 1'lno of
61,000--Labor Lenders Sny the
Law Is licing Violated in tho Street
I)cpnrtnicnt--Tlic Act Seriously
Affects Future City Contracts.
Whnl Mr. Thomas Hays.
Officers of tho Central Labor Union
propose to make It decidedly Interest
ing for certain city officials for alleged '
failure to comply with tho provisions
of tho Farr eight-hour act. The act
went into effect July 26, and provides
that employes on state and city work
or on state and city contracts shall
'njot'-labor over eight hours per day.
TKe third and fourth' sections of the
Ubt rgads as follows:
Sifptton. 3. Any officer or officers or
.adffjitH of tho state or of any munlcl
pajy.forporatlon therein who shall wlll
'..Mllyvlulate or otherwise evade tho pro
visions of this act shall bo deemed guilty
of malfeasance in office, nnd upon con
viction thereof may bo removed by the
governor or head of tho department to
which said officer Is attached.
Section 4, A person or persons con
tracting with tho stnte or municipal cor
poration therein, and any officer or agent
ol tne Btuto or any municipal corpora
tion therein, who shall fall to comply
with or attempt to evade the provisions
of this act shall, on conviction thorcof,
bo deemed guilty ot a misdemeanor, and
bo punished by a fine ot not oxceedlng
one thousand dollars,
P. J. THOMAS' VIEWS.
No attention has been paid to tho
act In Scranton. P. J. Thomas; of the
carpenters' union and nn officer of tho
Stato"L'egIslatlve Labor league, which
was largely Instrumental In securing
the passage of the act, remarked to
UjTSlbMhe reporter last night:
irr.VOutjiorganlzatlon spent a groat deal
of money In creating Mr. Farr's elght
Imur, law and we stand ready to spend
as much more to see that It is enforced.
ItIs being violated by Street Commis
sioner Dunning, whose gangs of city
street cleaners are working way over
tho limit.
" We had an object lesson hero re
cently when postofflce employes re
ceived nearly $15,000 from the govern
ment for over-time. That was the re
sult of the governments violation of Its
own eight-hour law. Its BerloUBness
was finally shown In the postal depart
ments' Instructions to postmasters to
observe the eight-hour law or bo sub
ject to dismissal from office.
"Each city employo has the same
case against the city as had the letter
carriers against tho government. This
of course applies to employes who are
paid by the day and not policemen and
others who are paid by the month or
year."
MR. DUNNING'S POSITION.
Street Commissioner Dunning has
been made acquainted with the
criticisms of the labor leaders.
On receipt of the information
he said he would most certain
ly abide by the provisions of the act,
but suggested the withdrawal of any
further criticisms until he could exam
ine an authorized copy of the Farr bill.
Contract work for the city now un
der way Is not affected by tho act as
the contracts were made previous to
tho approval of the bill. On all future
paving, grading, sewer, school building
and other city contract work tho local
labor leaders will make It their busi
ness to see that the law Is enforced.
