BEFORE BREAKFAST. )i
It Is a very graceful thins which
Colonel and Mrs. II. M. Holes will Co
lu opening their conservatories .this
nfternoon anil evening to tho public
for the 'benefit of the Homoeopathic
hospital. It Is a rare treat to poo these
five hot houses at any season of the
year, for so complete Is their collec
tion of flora thnt either roses, orchids,
azaleas or some other lovely display
of bloom may bo seen, but It Is at this
season when the queen of autumn, tho
.'hrysanthemum, is at its best, that
the visitor is most delighted with the
color effect. Colonel Boies has one of
the finest collections of rare chrysan
themums In the country and the priv
ilege of viewing .tho exhibition, ,o ad
vantageously placed, Is especially de
sirable. Visitors will be received from 4 to C,
and from S to 10 this nfternoon and
evening. Entrance will be given at tho
side gate. The sum of 23 cents will be
charged for the furnishing of the hos
pital opf tatlng room. No doubt throngs
of people will see this exhibition, not
only for tho pleasure it will afford to
the aesthetic taste, but also for the
assistance thus bestowed on a most
worthy object.
The First Presbyterian church was
thronged with patrons of tho supper
Inst evening which was served from
C to S o'clock. The expeditious man
ner in which tho multitude was fa
was most Commendable. Tho menu
was exceptionally attractive. The
chairman of the committee was Miss
Caro Dickson. Others who assisted
during the evening were: Chairman,
Mrs. B. E. Watson; Mrs. F. D. Mc

The Young Women's Christian as
sociation has an A shaped bulletin
joard much In uso and very popular
as the enterprising secretaries keep
the public Informed of the? many In
teresting Incidents of .that organiza
tion through this convenient medium.
Yesterday It figured in a sceno which,
for a moment, attracted more atten
tion .than evn a sensational Sunday
paper bulletin has ever been able to
accomplish. It wasn't because of the
sentiment Inscribed thereon, which was
regarding Mrs. Norvell's work, al
though It Is certainly uplifting enough.
Instead it was a gust of wind which
came along and tho bulletin board took
a flyer settling down promptly with
decision and considerable accuracy of
position on the back of a horso be
longing to a team tied at .tho curb.
The anlmal'u surprise was inatantenous
and active, and It required much quick
work on tho part of passers-by to pre
vent a catastrophe on tho crowded
street,

Tnriir Commission Appointed,
Scranton's Delegates to favor tlio
Scliomo nt tlio Mooting or tlio
Ntitlonnl Hoard of Trade.
At tlio last meeting of tho board of
trade the delegates to next month's
meeting of tho national board nt Wash
ington were directed to support a res
olution to bo presented to congress
favoring tho creation of a ttirlff coin
mission. Within tho past three yenis
tho Scranton board has frequently re
ceived and discussed many communi
cations on tho subject from tho Tariff
Commission league and o;hir organiza
tions favoring a non-partisan tariff
commission. In view of tho Interest
taken by Scranton manufacturers and
merchants tho followlnc. letter will bo
of Interest:
Newark, N. J., Nov. 1, 1S97.
To tho Commercial Organizations of tho
United States.
Gentlemen Wo hand you herewith
copy of a bill having for its object tho
taking of tho tariff question out of pol
itics and placing it in tho hands of a
court or ornimlfslon created on tlio pamo
plan as tho United States supremo court.
It has been thoroughly proven by tho
discussion of this question during the
past four years that beforo such a court
or commission can bo of any practical
scrvlco tho government must establish a
permanent policy under which our tariff
must bo adjusted and tlio revenue col
lected. With a principle onco established
that will apply with equal Justice to
each and every Industry alike then tho
arrangement of schedules under such n
law could bo nrrangcd by a court or
commission much more scientifically and
equitably than under tlio present sys
tem and at tho same tlmo put a stop
to all uncertainty and agitation.
WORSE T1LVN PRESENT SYSTEM.
Any commission that must report to
congress and depend upon that body to
carry out their findings would bo much
worse than tho present system, for then
congress would have tho question brought
beforo them every session and always
open up a proline field for campaign
pyrotechnics with much less certainty
ns to their final action than under tho
present system, so that such a commis
sion is to bo discouraged at every point.
It has also been proven that this gov
ernment must havo revenue nnd that
tho best way to ralso that revenue Is by
a tariff for revenuo so adjusted ns to
afford needed protection to our manu
facturing and agricultural industries,
and tho bill herewith presented Is framed
on those lines.
Pleaso have this question taken up at
tho next meeting of your organization.
Havo this bill thoroughly discussed In
all Its details and If any amendments
nro recommended pleaso send us a copy
of them; also pleaso decldn upon what
action, If any, your organization will be
willing to take In helping to carry the
measuro through congress nt tho coming
session, December, 1S'J7.
It Is our dcslro that every voter in
district bo requested tu write a personal
letter to your representatives In congress
(both branches) urging them to support
It; also that your organization appoint a
commlttco to s-ee that Hieso letters art
written; also that said commlttco call
upon your representatives In a body be
foro they loavo for Washington this
fall and urgo them to voto for It; also
that you send a delegation to Wash
ington to appear boforo tlio committees
of congress to urgo Its passago or that
you tmlto with other organizations in
your vicinity nnd send such a commlt
tco to Washington Jointly.
Over SOO organizations throughout tho
country havo already officially endorsed
this movement, and we liopo that ovcry
ono will unlto in tho effort to perman
ently settlo tho question at tho coming
session of congress.
Pleaso notify us as soon as possible,
w at action you havo nlready taken and
an willing to tnko In the future. In re
gard to tho matter. United action means
certain success.
Trusting wo will receive a prompt and
favorablo reply, wo remain.
Respectfully yours,
The TarlfC Commission League,
S. 15. Archer,
Secretary and Treasurer.
THE PROPOSED ACT.
An Idea of tho proposed act may be
had from tho following uxcerpts from
tho bill now beforo the ways, and means
committee:
A bill for tho raising of revenuo nnd tho
creating of a tariff commission, and
for other purposes.
Whereas tho difference In tlio cost of
production In tho United States and for
eign countries Is tho only equitable and
Just basis upon which the rates of duties
upon Imports should bo levied; and
Whereas this difference- in tho cost of
production Is necessary to promoto and
encourage domestic Industries, nnd has
proved to bo tho most satisfactory way
of providing revenuo to pay tho ex
penses of tho government: Therefore,
Bo It enacted by tho senato and houso
of representatives of tho United States
of America in congress assembled. That
tho duty levied on nil goods Imported
from any foreign country Into tho United
States and coming Into competition with
similar goods manufactured or produced
In tho 'United States 'shall, In all cases,
bo an amount fully equal to tho dif
ference in tho cost of producing such
goods In tho foreign country whero pro
duced and tho co3t of producing buch
goods In tho United Stutes. That all
goods Imported from any foreign coun
try into tho United States which do not
como Into competition with similar
goods manufactured or produced In tho
United States may bo admitted freo of
duty unless a duty on sucn goods may
bo considered necessary for tho purpose
of revenue, or as hereinafter specified In
this act.
Sec. 3. That for tho purposo of de
termining what Is tho difference In tho
cost of production nnd arranging tho
schedules under which said duties shall
bo lovlcd nnd collected, a commission
is hereby created and established, to bo
known as tho turlft commission, which
shall bo composed of ono chief commis
sioner nnd six associate commissioners,
who shall bo appointed by tho president,
with tho advlco and consent of tho sen
ate. Thnt said commissioners shall hold
their olllco during good behavior.
HOLD PUBLIC MDETINUS.
Sec. 8. That It shall bo tho duty of tho
commission to appoint ono or moro com
mittees from among Its members who
shall visit tho different sections of tho
country and hold public hearings so as
to better ascertain tho needs of tho dif
ferent section as well as to becomo
themselves moro familiar with tho pro.
cess and cost of production, nlso tho
conditions of labor, and that all such
information shall bo put In proper shape
for tho futuro uso of tho commission.
See. 11. That each commissioner shall
rcce'vo a salary of soven thousand fivo
hundred dollars per year, except the
chairman, who shall recelvo eight thou
sand dollars per year. Tho commission
shall appoint a secretary, who shall re
celvo a salary of four thousand dollars
per year, and such clerks and employes
us may hereafter bo authorized by law.
That tho chairman of tho commission
shall npiolnt a private Bocretary, nt a
salary of ono thousand live hundred dol
lars per year, and each of tho asxoolate
commissioners shall appoint a private
seoretury. at a salary of One thousand
X two hundred dollars por year,
MnfiTINQ OP THE POOR BOARD.
Men Who Left tho Institution Cannot
Oct Hnck.
Tho board of poor directors met In
regular session yesterday afternoon.
Among tho many applications for re
lief was that of Mrs. Novack, widow
of tho Prlceburg Polandcr who died
recently In tho Lackawanna hosplta'.
from tho effects of a murderous blow
on the head. Tho man charged with
tho crime Is now in tho county prison
awaiting trial.
Mrs. Novack has three small chil
dren, Sho camo to Scranton a few
days ngo to seek aid from tho city poof
authorities nnd has been sheltered by
friends on tho South Side. The board
decided to send her back to Prlccburg,
as sho is not a charge on this district.
Tho lato election enticed a number of
tho mnlo Inmates from the Hillside
Home. A batch of them appeared be
foro the bonrd yesterday and nsked to
bo returned to tho Institution. They
offered various excuses for leaving tho
place, but In each enso tho request tc
bo returned was refused.
Tho caso of a demented Polish wo
man, who with her child hnd for sev
eral days been wandering about tho
city's streets, was reported by tho
As.sociatcd charities. Tho board de
cided to send tho woman to tho Hill
side Home pending an investigation of
her case.
Tho report of Superintendent Bccm
er, of the Home, showed that 375 in
mates were In the Institution Sept. 20.
During October IS were admitted, 4
died, S wcro discharged and SSI wero
there at tho close of tho month. Of
tho latter number 211 wero insane.
HUSBAND WAS DUPED.
Mr?. Lcacb, by a Clever Scheme,
Got Her Husband lo Pay Her
Lover's Fine.
When tho police Thursday night
swooped down on tho dlvo of Mabel
West nt IS Iackawanna avenue, one
of the women arrested was Mrs. Arthur
Lench, formerly of Plymouth, who had
been an Inmate of tho house for some
time. It was at tho Instance of her
husband tho place was raided.
Another person arrested In the house
was Thomas Simons, a young man of
20, who says he Is employed by Miss
West. Mrs. Leach Is six' years older
than tho youth, but Is madly Infatuated
with him.
Leach alleges that It was Simons
who Induced his wife to leave Ply
mouth and enter upon a llfo of shame
In this citv and that ho lias letters
Simons sent to Mrs. Leach, to prove
that fact. Simons' homo Is In Pitts
ton, and Mrs. Leach beforo her mar
riage was Miss Magglu .Thomas, of
Plymouth. She said yesterday thnt
sho loved Tommy and wants to secure
a divorce from her husband.
When tho raid was made Simons had
$3, which he gave to Mrs. Leach to
pay her lino in tho morning. Her stock
of cash amounted to tl. Mrs. Leach
did not propose to see her heroic lover
languish in jail because of his gener
osity in giving hoi- his money, nnd
yesterday, nfter a $3 fine wns imposed
on her In police court, sho sent for her
husband. Ho enmo with his father and
Mrs. Loach professed sorrow for her
past conduct nnd agreed to forsake the
llfo she has been leading and rejoin
htV husband and their child, if she was
taken out of prison. Leach was pleased
nnd with his father left tho police sta
tion to get money to pay her fine. As
soon as they were gone Mrs. Lench
called to her lover, who was locked In
one of tho cells In the men's depart
ment, twenty feet away:
"Cheer up, Tommy; I'll soon got you
out. Leach's going to pay my fine nnd
ns soon as I get down town I'll slip
him and send the $5 I have here up to
get you out."
And sho did. Fifteen minutes after
Mr. nnd Mrs. Lench left tho police sta
tion a messenger boy arrl'-ed with the
$3 necessary to discharge Simons' in
debtedness to the city. "Ifl want to
see her nnd she wants to see me, I
don't see how Leach is. going to pre
vent it," he said as ho departed. Leach
In paying his wife's lino really paid
Simons'.
DRUTE Wfio ANNOYS WOMEN.
Police Are Making nn I'llort to Pfnco
Mini Under Arrest.
Tho police are looking for a small,
swarthy-looking mnn who has been
frightening women on tho Hill. His
field of operation is bounded by Lin
den and Mulberry streets and Madison
and Clay avenues.
Ho skulks In alleys and behind tree
boxes, and when ho sees a woman
wnlklmr along tho street unaccom
panied after nightfall, he springs out
on tho sidewalk in front of her and
nfter some disgusting actions runs
away.
Ono courageous servant girl he
.stopped tho othor night gathered sev
eral stones in tho roadway and threw
them after the brute.

SPRING ELECTION
IS NEAR AT HAND
Many Conncilmcn nnd School Con
(rollers lo Be Chosen.
BOTH PARTIES WILL BE ACTIVE
Political Complexion in Councils on
Joint Ilollot anil in tho llonrd of
Control Now Fnvors tlio Democrats.
Twenty Councilman nnd Eleven
Controllers Aro to Ho Elected.
.11 any Aldcrmnnlc nnd Constabulary
Terms Expire.
At the coming spring elections ten
select councllmcn, ten common coun
cllincn nnd eleven school controllers
nro to be elected. Aldermen nnd con
stables are to bo chosen In several
wards. Prospective candidates of both
parties have already begun to canvas
or nro mapping out a lino of action
with their friends. Ily the first of Jnn
uary tho pot will be boiling with un
usual vigor.
It is not dlfilcutt to foresee that tho
strife will bo turbulent, as both Demo
crats and Republicans will have op
portunity to change tho political com
plexion .of tho two branches of council
and tho board of control. This fact
makes It certain that rivulry will as
sumo something ot a general nature
and extend throughout the city nnd
not be confined solely to ward fights.
At present there Is a Democratic
mnjority of two In councils. Out of
twenty-one members of tho select
branch eleven are Republican, but
there aro twelve Democratic common
ers. New councllmcn are to be elect
ed In all tho even numbered wards, tho
Second, Fourth, Sixth, etc. In the
select branch it is a stand-oft as to
which party will have the advantage,
as the ten members whoso terms ex
pire Include five Democrats and five
Republicans.
REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY.
In tho elections of common council
men, however, tho Republicans will
have a decided advantage. Of the ten
members whoso terms expire eight are
Democrats. By electing a Republican
to one of the eight Democratic vacan
cies tho Democratic majority' In the
common branch would be reduced to
ono vote and the two branches would
be a tie on Joint ballot. If two Repub
licans can bo elected In as many wards
now represented by Democrats there
would bo a Republican majority of one
In the lower branch and two on joint
ballot, whereas tho joint ballot Is nt
present In favor of the Democrats by
two votes.
When councils reorganize nfter the
election, the only city olllcers to bo
elected by them aro a city clerk, who
Is clerk of the select branch, and tt
clerk of tho common branch. What
ever the political complexion of coun
cils may be, City Clerk M. T. Lavello
is sure to be re-elected. He Is a Demo
crat, but councilmen of that faith and
Republicans, too, have, on account of
his fidelity, competence and non-par-tlsanshlp,
for many years been content
with his administrations nnd It is prob
able that he will be city clerk until he
retires of his own vlolltlon. Common
council Clerk Mahon -Is satisfactory
to the Democrats of that body and is
sure of a re-election unless the Repub
licans attain a majority.
SCHOOL BOARD.
In tho board of corjtfol&thei Demo
crats havo a majority of v"$tiM.!-.0 tho
eleven members from the 'odd-numbered
wards whose terms expire In the
spring, seven nro Republicans and four
Democrats. This will give the latter
the better chance to retain the major
ity. Following are tho councilmen whoso
terms expire: Select Second ward,
