BEFORE BREAKFAST. tfft Henry Bellamy's new book, "Equal ity," contains one prognostication which will appeal to the race of wo mankind looking out upon tills Monday morning with more or less painful an ticipations, In which visions of a cha otic kitchen, heaps ot unwashed dishes and possibly a maid of a lowering brow are among the chief features. Mr. Bellamy's theory Is -that in tbo Twentieth century "wash diy" will be nn unknown terror, as paper will have taken the place of wash linen and cel lars. We shall then wear a prtty gown until It Is soiled and instead of sending It away to the laundry to be ruined It will be packed off to the manufactory to ba made oer Into pulp Knd perhaps come back to us In a new pattern. Household linen and all rts of underwear will then be treated in the same way. Sheets, pillow-slips, etc., will no doubt be made with hem, but Mr. Bellamy's plan seems a little wobbly when It comes to gnvvns. The magnitude of wash frocks Is not the expense of materials, but thj cost of making. Won't the dressmakers havo a mlllenlum under the Twentieth cen tury dispensation? Imagine h.ivlng a new white gown made every time the last one Is soiled! He was tired and he sat down to ri3 on about the third stop at the Com. monwealth entrance. He was also possessed of that artlclo known in street parlance as a "Jag." He crossed h's knees, securing a comfortable post. Hon, and then proceeded to take a nap. He would lean far back, almost touch ing his head, and then recovering the sense of gravity would bend forward again. Somebody, maybe it was tbo elevator manipulator, had been watch ing the performance with consldonblo Interest. Finally he could resist tho offered temptation no longer and ho went up to the olllce of an acquaint ance in the fifth story, securpd a paper uag ana proceeded to prepare a missile which for originality and utility may be commended to the public.

BACK PAY MATTER IS UNSETTLED City Solicitor McGlnley Docs Not illiilte Ills Answer to This (iucry n Lucld ns the Street Commissioner Would Doslrc-OIombcrs of the City Ilnglnoor's Corp Aro Not Af fected by tho IMIlTlioy Aro Not Workmen In tlio "leaning o( tho Act. Employes of tho street commission er's department, with the one excep tion of ofllco clerk, will work but eight hours a day hereafter. City Solicitor McGlnley, In answer to Mr. Dunnlng's request for nn opinion as to whether or not the eight hour law affected his department, on Saturday replied as follows: August 23, 189". Mr. A. B. Dunning, Street Commissioner, Scranton, Pa. Dear sir Replying to your communi cation of tho 28th Instant, requesting an opinion regarding act of nsscmbly approved July 26. 1SD7, known as the Farr eight hour law, would say that tho act provides that eight hours shall constltuto a legal day's work for mechanics, work- men and laborers In tho omply of tho state, or any municipal corporation therein, or otherwise engaged on public works. Tho persons employed In your depart ment, with tho exception of clerk, aro within tho Intent and meaning of this law. Under its provisions, eight hours constltuto a legal day's work, upon which basis tho persons employed by you, with tho exception aforesaid, aro entitled to piy at tho regular per diem r.ito. Very respectfully yours, M . A. McGlnley, City Solicitor. City Engineer Phillips, who had made a similar request concerning the men In his department, received the follow ing opinion from the city solicitor: August 2S. U9T. Mr. Joseph P. Phillips, City Engineer. Dear Sir: In answer to your noto of tho 9th Instant Inquiring if tho men In your department, assistant engineers, draughtsmen, clerks, rodmen, chalnmen nnd inspectors on public works, como within tho provisions of the Farr act, npprovel tho 2Cth day of July, 1S97, would say that tlio act provides, "That on and after tho passago of this act eight hours out of tho twenty-four of each day bhall make and constltuto a legal day's work for mechanics, workmen and laborers In the employ of the state, or any munici pal corporation therein or otherwise en gaged on public works." Tho only question that need be consid ered In replying to your communication Is whether tho men In your department may bo properly termed mechanics, workmen or laborers. If they may be, then tho act arpllcs to them and eight hours would constltuto a legal day's work; If they may not bo so tcrmeJ, then they aro not Included In the classes Intended to bo reached by this law. A mechanic Is ono skilled In the me chanical arts, or exercising a mecnanical employment; ono Avhoso occupation con sists In tho systematic manipulation and constructive shaping of materials, wood, metal, etc.: artificers, artisans or crafts, men. It Implies special training and Is therefore inapplicable to unskilled labor ers, though they may bo engaged In con structive work, A workman is deilned as one who works; one employed In any labor, especially manual labor. A laborer is on who labors in a toll somo occupation; ono regularly employed at some hard work, often used of one who gets a livelihood at coarse, manual labor, as distinguished from an artisan or professional man. It Is generally ac cepted that tho terms "laborer" and "workman" aro Intended to Include only such persons as aro engaged In manual occupation. Engineering Is tho art of constructing and using engines or machines; tho art of executing civil or military works which require a special knowledgo or uso cf machinery, or tho principles of mechan ics. Art Is tho combination or modification of things to adopt them to a given end; the employment of given means to effect a purpose. It Is skill, dexterity, an es pecial facility In performing any opera tion, Intelectual or physical, acquired ly experience or study. Tho object of sci ence Is knowledge; tho objects of art are works. In art, truth Is tho means to an end; in science, It Is only the end. Civil engineering Is that branch of en gineering which relates to tho construc tion or care of roads, bridges, railroads, canals, aqueducts, harbors, drainage works, etc. All men In your department como within this classification. Under tho above definitions, may they bo desig nated "mechanics," "workmen" or "la borers?" I think not. Tho case of Pennsylvania and Dela waro Railroad company vs. Leuffer, 84 Pa. 1C8, contains a similar proposition to the one under discussion. Leuffer was a civil engineer, and brought suit against tho company for the value of services rendered. The only question Involved was whether a civil engineer was a "labor er" or "workman" within the meaning of tho resolution of January 21, 1S13, P. L. 307. Justlco Gordon In delivering tho opinion of tho supremo court, Inter alia, said: "Wo aro to Inquire what the legis lature Intended by tho use of these words. In seeking for the leguslature's Intent wo must give to tho language of tho statute Its common nnd ordinary signification. But ordinarily these words cannot bo un derstood as embracing persons engaged In the learned professions, but rather such as gain their livelihood by manual toll. When wo speak of tho laboring or work ing classes, wo certainly do not Intend to Include therein persons llko civil engi neers, tho value of whose services rests rather In their scientific than ir, their physical ability. Wo thereby Intend thoso who aro engaged, not In head, but In hand work, and who depend upon such hand work for their living. It Is true, In one sense, the engineer Is a laborer; but so Is the lawyer nnd tho doctor, tho banker and corporation officer, yet no statistician has been known to include them among the laboring classes." In my opinion tho provisions of the act of assembly known as tho Farr act do not apply to tho aforementioned persons employed in your department. (Cited: 13 A. & E. E., 532. Stand. Diet.; Cent. Diet.; Rovell's Syn.; Crabb's Syn.; Brooke's Terms of Art and Science; Whowcll). Yours respectfully, SI. A. McGlnley, City Solicitor. Street Commissioner Dunning, when seen concerning the decision, said he would' put the men on eight-hour time today, but he will not do anything con cerning the matter of back pay until he receives a more definite reply to Ills request. The communication he sent to the city solicitor was as follows: Street Commissioner's Office. Scranton. Pa., Aug. 11, 1S97. M. A. McUlnloy, Esq., City Solicitor. Scranton, Pa. Dear sir Plcaso glvo me your opinion In regard to putting Into operation tho Farr eight-hour law, making special ex planation In regard to tho following points: First If tho law Is to bo put Into ope ration In this city, shall tho men re celvo extra time of two hours for each day they havo worked since tho law went In effect? Second Under tho existing resolutions and ordinances In regard to tho rats per day, how shall I regulate thu matter in this Instance? Third What process shall I take to as certain who aro allons or who aro not? Respectfully yours, A. B. Dunning, jr., Street Commissioner, Mr. McQInley's reply to tho question concerning back pay Is not at all sat isfactory to Mr. Dunning nnd ho will ask for another nnd less ambiguous ruling on this point. He, hlmself.would bo pleased to allow tho men for over time If It Is due them, ho says, but ho will decline to move in the matter un til he Is thoroughly satisfied as to what Is proper. MURDER IS CHARQED. Coroner'- Jury Returns a Verdict on tho Dcnth ofVlnilcrRrntz.

New Italian Society Innuguaratcd with Public Meeting, Flag Presentation, Parade and Picnic. On Saturday was held a celebration by a beneficial and social organization formed by prominent Italians of the city a week ago. The new society fit tingly distinguished Its entrance among numerous similar societies by a public meeting at Music Hall and a picnic at Wahler's grove. Music Hall was crowded In the morn ing and the speeches by the officers and Invited guests were received with great enthusiasm. Flags and bunting gave an attractive appearance to tho interior. Bauer's band, the Umberta band, of Binghamton, and this city's Italian Citizens' band were prsent. Grouped In a semi-circle upon tho stage were the spaakcrs and prominent members of the Society, among them being Frank Carluccl, president of .the society; Peter Gardell, secretary; Hon. H. M. Edwards, Hon. E. H. Ripple, Dr. Vllllone, Domonico Pesanti, Antonla Sonstanzo, N. Carluccl, Nlcholya Pier re, Joseph Cassesse. The occasion of the gathering was the reception of President Carluccl's gifts to the society. Twoi beautiful flags 4x6 feet and representing tho United States and Italy, were present ed by Dr. Vllllone, In behalf of tho president. The doctor spoke with en thusiasm. He touched upon the bond of attachment the sons of Italy had for their mother country and urged the strongest support for their adopt ed land, .the country of the "stars and stripes." The Hags were then dedi cated with the assistance of two little flower girls, who strewed tho fragrant blossoms upon the beautiful emblems. JUDGE EDWARDS' ADDRESS. Judge Edwards addressed tho so ciety and expressed his regret at not being able to use the Italian language. However, Judging from the gestures of Dr. Vllllone though his words were uttered In a strange tongue, ho felt that tho left band pointed to the flag of sunny Italy meant heart love, while tho right hand extended toward the emblem of tho union Indicated sup port. Tho speaker then reviewed tho na tional history of Italy,, mentioning some of her greatest sons and then spoke of the necessity of his hearers In acquainting themselves with Ameri can laws and Institutions In order to become the best of citizens, thus up holding the fame of their mother coun try who ,gave them to .this country. Great applauso followed the judge's remarks. Colonel E. H. Ripple spoke briefly ot his pleasure In being honored with an Invitation. His sympathy was with a society which had banded together with such splendid purposes. Joseph Cassesse, Frank Carluccl, Domlnlco Pesanti and Antonla Confitanzoj, of Old Forge, also spoke. A rising vote of thanks was extended to the society's visitors. The society headed by the bands then marched about tho city and went to Wahler's grove, where a most enjoyable afternoon and evening was spent. Games which are In vogue In Italy were enjoyed. The Carluccla society, of Bingham ton, were the guests of tho new so ciety. MUNICIPAL CONVENTION. Will lie Held in Columbus, Ohio, During J liter lnrt of September.

Tho best of all Pills aro UEECHAM'S HARRITY MATTER VIEWED LOCALLY Lackawanna Delegates and Lackawanna Resolutions Do Not Gibe. CHAIRMAN GARMAN IS AMBITIOUS Tho I'nct That He Upheld Mr. Hnrrlty During tho Campaign nnd Now U'ngcs l'ierco War Agnlii't Him Lends to n Suspicion In tlio Minds of tlio Delcgntoi That tho Stnto Chnlr mnn Mny Ho Personally Desirous of Having tho Dig Pcnnsylvnnlnn Drummed Out of tlio Party, Saturday morning The Trlbuno an nounced, on authority of one of the delegates, that the Dt ocratle dele gation to the state convention would leave via the Jersey Central nt 12.45 o'clock p. m. Monday. Saturday afternoon tho Times con tained the following notice conspicu ously displayed: DELEGATES' ATTENTION. Tho delegates to tho Democratic stato convention will leavo Scranton on Mon day on the Delaware and Hudson train leaving Scranton at 12.03. Close connec tion will bo mado with tho Lehigh Val ley at Wllke-Barre. Tho train will ar rive in Rending at 5.50. Arrangements for transportation havo been made by Thomas J. Jennings and David J. Reedy, chairman and secretary of tho Demo cratic county committee. Tho delegation will bo mado up as fol lows: First district. John M. Casey, Jacob F. Hnmmls, Patrick J. Nealls; Second district, Richard J. Beamish. Thomas P. Dulty, David J. Reedy; Third district, John J. Coyne, Michael F. McDonnell; Fourth district, Thomas M. Holmes, John J. Dunn, Miles J. McAndrow and M. F. Fndden. Delegates will procuro tickets by calling upon Messrs. Reedy or Jen nings, Mcars building. By reading with both eyes open an Inkling of tho fierceness of the Gar-man-Harrlty fight can be obtained. For the benefit of any one who may have defective eyesight It might be etated that Mr. Garman he pays the freight. The Lackawanna delegation is nn tin known quantity. At nearly all tho district conventions at which the dele gates were chosen, resolutions were passed declaring In the most outspoken manner for the Chicago platform and crying out In frenzied tones against the gold traitors. It, however, now developes that some, if not a majority, of the delegates are not wildly enthusi astic over the idea of applying the severe stricture concerning the gold Democrats, particularly so when the application would affect the once proud boast of Pennsylvania. Democracy, William F. Harrlty. The Lackawanna county peoplo are not so sure but that Mr. Garman may not bo moved by personal motives In his relentless war on the recognized big man In the Pennsylvania Demo cratic ranks. With Harrlty discredited and drummed out of the party, who would be his likely successor? Mr. Garman, cogitating with himself, an swers: "The esteemed state chair man." The fact that Mr. Garman stood up for Mr. Harrlty, when the latter was on trial before the national commit tee for his "crime of '96," would pos sibly be responsible for setting the Im partial local men reasoning along the above lines. Whether it was a lino of reasoning like this or a personal letter which each one received from Mr. Harrlty, In which was set forth his position, an account of his services and copies of recommendations for efficiency and Im partiality from Chairman Jones, Sena tor Daniels and others, the Lacka wanna delegates aro not going to be In Mr. Garman's round-up when the Hnrrlty matter comes, up at Reading, although they may travel thither at his expense.
