Description of Tlic New Structures.
Two of the new school buildings the
twins Nos. 15 nnd C were vesterduy
formally Inspected nnd one of them,
No. C, regularly accepted, a special
meeting belnir convened on the prem
ises for this purpose nt the request 01
Mr. Wormser who wanted to open the
school next Monday. No. 15 will ho
recommended for acceptance at the
next regular meeting of the board.
The Inspection was made by Control
lers Shires, Davis, Carson, Casey, He
vnney, Wormser, Welsh, Notz and Gib
bons. No. IB in the Twentieth' ward,
wns first visited, the controllers nnd
lmlldera assembling there about '1
o'clock p. m. Nearly two hours were
spent there and then the.V retxilred to
No. G in the Washington avenue lints
of the Eighth ward. Nothing was
found In either building to call forth
unfavorable ctltlclsm and the concen
sus of opinion was that they nro two
well built, well-eriulpped and InextnW
agant school buildings. The buildings
are virtually counterparts of each oth
er, both being designed by Architect
John A. Duckworth from the same
plans. The principal difference Is that
No. C Is heated by the Smead-Wllls
system nnd No. 15 by the fan system
put in by Hunt & Connell.
No. 15 Is located at the corner of Stone
avenue nnd Locust street. Two of the
three lots which compose Its site were
purchased by John Gibbons during his
first term of services as a controller,
some ten or eleven years ago. The
third lot was secured after the plans
had been drawn and It was found that
the building was a foot wider than the
available ground. The two lots cost
$1,300 and the third lot J1.S0O an indi
cation that the territory thereabouts
has grown to such nn extent as to
demand a new school. The building,
everything Included, represents an out
lay of $21,000. and there was no ques
tion In the mind of the controllers but
that th? dUtrlct got its money's worth.
DESCRIPTION OP BUILDING.
It is a plain brick-veneered building
with no attempts nt enrichment. The
roof Is of white pine shingles painted
to match the walls, and finished with
heavy copper flashings and valleys.
The windows are large and each con
tain four panes of double-thick glass.
Its gpneral outward appearance Is plain
and substantial, and this effect Is also
carried out in tho Interior. ThV struc
ture inside and out Is totally devoid of
"glnserbread."
It is an eliiht-room building. Vl'xSC,
and 2S feat from water table to eaves;
the ceilings on each of the two Moors
being V feet high. Each room is 24x34
and each hs separable and well ar
ranged cloak rooms fcr boys and girls.
There are three sets of stairs leading
to the second floor. Two open on tho
outside and the third is an Interior
double stairway with landing opposite
the main entrance and connecting the
two largf and airy corridors on to
which class rooms on either fioor open.
The interior finishing, In which is In
cluded a high wainscoting extending
about both corridors and rooms, Is of
hard oalt. The floors are of hard
maple nnd the ceilings of sheet steel,
tastefully figured. The plastering of
th corridors Is tinted In terra 'olta
and the rooms In buff. There Is a
large blackboard area in each room.
The heat Is regulated by a Johnson
thermostat, which automatically in
jures an even temperature at all times.
Owing to the fact that thero are no
sewers In- that locality dry closets are
used.
The building was constructed by Con
rad Schroeder. The Green Ridge Lum
ber company did the carpenter work;
Hunt & Connell. the heating nnd ven
tilating, and George Dougherty, the
painting.
Tho newest appurtenances of the
building is an hygienic drinking foun
tain, with which each corridor is pro
vided. It is a novel arrangement to
do away with the germ-scattering
drinking cup, A nlckle chalice, the
size of an ordinary glass tumbler,
stands In a porcelain bowl, about the
slzo and shape of an online rv wasli
basin. The rim of the chalice Is only
slightly higher than tho rim of the
bowl. A small pipe leads through the
stem of tho chalice and supplies Its cup
from the bottom with a constant flow
of water. To drink from It one bends
over and sips from the bubbling and
constantly filled cup.
HAS THREE BUILDINGS.
When the now building Is oppntd,
which will be In the course of two or
three weeks It will be used to accom
modate the pupils of that neighborhood
who are now attending No. 11 nnd its
two annexes, which latter will be done
away vtlth. This gives the Twentieth
ward three schools Nos. 7. It and 15.
No. 7 Is within a short distance of the
Mlnooka line; No. 15 alongside Roar
ing Wiook, tlie northern limit of the
ward, and No. 11 Is midway between
them. The distance from No. 15 to No.
7 Is considerably over a mile. One of
the three scliool3 Is to be Riven a
Grammar A department. No. 7 Is the
one likely to be selected as there Is a
Grammar A grade In No, IP In the
Nineteenth ward, not far distant from
No. 15.
The description of No, 15 nnd the
comments vn Its nnneuranee and con
struction apply to No. 6 In every way
excepting as to the heating system and
n few minor details. Instead of oak,
ash Is usad for Interior finishing and
tho roof has a tier of 'alcove windows,
while at No. 15 the Immense expanse
of red shingles Is antlroly unbroken,
save by the valleys and chimneys.
There lo nlso a small amount of stone
facing at No. 6 and tha design of tho
entrance Is dlftsrsnt. this being made
necessary because of the difference In
the lav of the ground. The cost was
tho same as No. 15 $21,000. Mulherln
& Judge are the builders.
Tho new building Is built m tho site
of old No. C mi Hickory strest. While
Its construction jvqb under wny the
pupils were accommodated In rented
rooms at different points In that por
tion of the ward, ThV furniture Is
about all In place and it Is Intended to
begin school there next Monday morn
ing, Ktcnm llcnting nud Plumbing.

MR. PENNINQTON'S RECITAL
Vcrr Pleasing Prop in mo Rendered
in Iilm Pnrk Church.
One of the finest musical programmes
ever heard In Elm Park church wns
that of last evening when Mr. J. Al
fred Pennington gave ono of his bsnu
tlful organ recitals, assisted by Mr.
John T. Watklns, In several vocal
numbers. Tho early ringing of the
chimes summoned a vast throng to the
doors, and It wns a great audience th'at
listened -to tho music.
Mr. Pennington gave nn entirely new
programme. He has not vet repeated
a number In his various recitals nnd
his splendid repertoire Is well sustained
In excellence. Lust night Ids first
number was tho exquisite short
sonata In C miner (No, 2), one of tho
six great sonatns of Mendelssohn, Tho
exquisite sustained melody In the nda
glo was given with rare perfection. The
effect In the sprightly allegro maes
toso movement was especially pleasing
while the noble theme in tho fugje
wns n climax of harmony and feeling.
He plnycd a romanza by Parker, r.ev
cr before heard in this city which was
fascinating In treatment as the rapid
following of tho rlsht hand by the
same chords with' the left had a novel
effect.
This was followed Ijv in andante
contnblle, beautiful and evanescent In
Its distant sweetness, from the Fourth
symphony by Wldor; Dudley Ruck's
charming variations of "The Last Rose
of Summer;" variations of tho well
known "O Sanctlsseluce," and a ten
der and lively descriptive pleco by
Wldor, "A Pastorale," were played be
fore tho magnificent grand inarch from
Gullmant's cantata of Arlanne. This
wns given with tho Interpretation of
an artist and brought with it all the
contagious enthusiasm of the composi
tion. Great Interest was felt In Mr. J. T.
Watklns' part of the programme. His
fellow townsmen cannot hear too often
their distinguished baritone, and the
numbers last night were not n disap
pointment. He sang the sacred selec
tion "Thou Art Passing Hence" with
great feeling and Intelligence. The
solo "Lead Kindly Light.'' arranged by
D. Pughe Evans, was finely rendered,
while the great dramatic piece, "Rlow.
Blow Thou Winter Wind," by Surgcant
clearly evinced the progress mnde In
his art by Mr. Watklns. His enuncia
tion is so flawless and his voice so well
under control that too much oralse can
not be given to his work of last even
ing. It Is to be hoped that this pro
gramme will be repeated in the near
future.
DEDICATED A CHURCH
Interesting Ceremonies nt the Church
of the. Holy I'mnlly, Cnpoino Ave.
Bishop O'Hara yesterday dedicated
the new church of the Holy Family, on
Capouse avenue, of which the corner
stone was laid one year ago last sum
mer. It Is a pretty little temple and
with the pastoral residence, which ad
joins, cost $17,800. The congregation Is
made up In the main of Slavonian
Catholics nnd as an evidence of their
lively faith it might be remarked that
over $13,00 of the debt has already
been paid.
The dedicatory services were, made
unusually Interesting through the par
ticipation of a large number of Polish
and Slavonian societies and n band of
little girls prettily arrayed In pure
white and bedecked with llornl
wreaths. A short parade was held at
10 o'clock, in which the societies and
parishioners participated. Joseph Mllo
was chief marshal and Joseph Kag
nok, chief of staff. Guth's band, of the
South Side, and the Roma baud, of
Duninore, furnished the music.
At 11 o'clock a solemn high mass was
celebrated by Rev. Father Jankoln, of
Plttston, assisted by Rev. U. Murga,
of Wllkes-Rarre, as deacon, and Rev.
Father Dembrlnskl, of Scranton, sub
deacon. Among the priests in the
sanctuary were Rev. M. E. Loftus, Rev.
Peter Christ, Scranton; Rev. Father
Stass, FreeHnd; Rev. Father Manek,
Ilazleton, nnd Rev. Father Vlossak, of
Philadelphia. The last named deliv
ered the sermon.
WAS BRUTALLY ASSAULTED.
Lny Unconscious nnd Madly Injured
lor Ncnrlv Iliilftlie Night.
E. A. Smith, of 1327 Mousey avenue,
was found lying in Muldoon's store
yard at daybreak yesterday morning In
nn unconscious condition and with his
jaw broken, his head badly gashed
and his foot sprained.
He was taken to Dr. Jenkins' office,
where his wounds were attended to and
then, at the doctor's advice, he went
to the Lackawanna hospital.
Smith says that his Injuries were in
flicted by a man named John Coar vlth
w horn he had a law suit seven years
ago. He was going through the stone
yard on his wny home at l o'clock In
the morning when Coar, who evidently
had followed him. came up from be
hind and assaulted him with a coupling
pin. Owing to the fact that It was
Impossible for Smith to talk very well
with his broken jaw, the details of his
story could not be learned.

pen where American citizens have been
cruelly detained. Our Instrument of

protect the men who nre loyal to our
fiag everywhere under the sun. Not that

and settle what ratio of the two shall

tho Infinite must guide them,
WHAT CARLVLE SAID.
Cnrlylo nnd other royalists have de
clared tho necessity of the hereditary
factor In government If there Is to be
nny fixity In affairs, and that the his
tory of democracies shows that they can
not exist without the appearance of a
dictator. We have not had that exhibit,
yet wo need safe guards built around our
chief authorities and only an axe guided
of God can prepare the timbers for these
protections. Wo have built the school
houses nnd called It common saying our
people must be educated. We have made
tho edifice high and spread It wide. Is
It too high and too much distributed? If
the axe is to touch the public school, will
it bo to cut oft a story or add more? In
that same place a question wults set
tlement. What shall the state do for
mora' Ideas. The Pope on the Tiber says
his faithful children shall not be taught
in schools where the Bible is not. for
they are Godless, and not where It Is
read, us our translation Is a sectarian
book. The axe will need Divine handling
to cut that subject so as to be true to
God und true to the entire people.
Then this axe has been building cities
so fast und so large that we must ask
If this Is best. Shall it go on ut that
work when they are 20 per cent, less
healthy than the rural regions. Disease
und death waste the national income.
These cente ' of population are the sinks
into which lo worst gather, and where
they do tneir worst. The rot begins
there, and the nation shares in their
fate. Nineveh was Assyria, Paris Is
France, New York Is the I'nlted States.
As go our cities sc country. All re
forms aro halting now by the retard In
our great cities.
We out a door so wide that we are
like a later Noah's Ark, all the earth Is
entering In. We have received descend
ents of Shem. Hani and Japheth und It
looks us If the plank we put out for
humanity had become the gangway for
some animals. The Incoming are often
as quarrelsome, nearly as ignorant us
brutes. Vet we put crowns on them and
make them rulers.
THE FOREIGN ELEMENTS.
Some of the foreign elements throng
together and perpetuate their original
customs and motives and Insist our pub
lic schools shall teach their offspring
the tongues of the parents. The horn
ogenlty necessary Is delayed. We al
ready have the conflict of races. Whites
with blacks: rich with poor; nationalized
with foreigners; red men with whlto
robbers. Something more we must do.
We have cut out coarse forms nnd called
them citizens. We put a ticket In their
hands whether they have sense In their
beads or not. We never can get them
back Into the original blocks as so much
rough wood. We must polish them nnd
make them fit to be what we have named
-m. The serious, divinely directed
sense of this country Is not too much
ability to hnndle this great question,
which emigration and emancipation have
forced upon us. Our nxe has split n
mass of crude humanity Into undivided
pieces, labelling them as voters, giving
each the same weight In settling great
matters as Daniel Webster had nt tho
polls! We may sympathize with the
Southern people, once owners In object
ing to the domination of their former
slaves. The threut openly made to dis
franchise tho blacks Is a serious omen.
If uneducated, who left them so? If
they nre to he cut off from the ballot
box will they bo counted in the basis of
representation? The problem comes to
us in our Incompetent white crowds In
tho cities without th American spirit,
nbovo all things the fitness for the right
use -of the elective privilege. How can
we take that pile of material and hew It
Into best shape for a place In our na
tional structure, blacks nnd foreigners?
Have we fixed a proper term, five years,
In which they may outgrow their form
er opinions and conditions, and grow
Into a competency to guldo our stut
affairs? Men who have lived under mon
archies ure used to being managed und
may be good material for manipulat
ing partisans. Can Buch In their state
lu a few years ubsorb enough of Ameri
can Ideas and Instincts to fit them for
polling power? John Wltherspoon, of
revolutionary fame, camo to tho Col
onies when 48 years old, and yet "be
came nn American the moment he land
ed on our shores." Few nro so soon
transformed. Most timber needs long sea
soning before the nxe can curve good
Americans out of It. (It might be well
to Insist that the raw material shall bo
seasoned longer before used than that.)
Wo shall cut out a one nnd put it before
that flvo nnd requiro foreigners to wait
fifteen years before they equal native
born In tho franchise right. At least
we should seo that they do not vote be
foro tho salt spray that flow on their
hair when they camo over tho sea, Is
dried. They should tarry until they know
what this republic represents, what It
cost und Is worth, nnd especially until
they will so value their vote that It
would seem sacrilege to sell It. After
detaining tho arrived a longer term be
fore they uro made American kings It
might he well to use our nxo to dimin
ish the door of admission, limiting tho
number wo will receive by our power to
Americanize them. Wo should Inspect
more carefully tho quality of those who
wish to bo part of us. Benjamin Frank
lin said! "Keep tho eyes wldo open be
fore murrlage, half shut afterwurds." It
Is to bo feared that concerning (migrants
we huvo hud our eyes shut before and
uftcr their coming. That door will stand
watching. Wo have been long enough tho
dumping ground for tho trash of Europo
and Asia.
MUST HAVE SOME DIVINE WISDOM
Ono place we must have divine wisdom
Is lu fixing tho share cuch chopper shall

Sixty thousand million dollars In our

25,000 persons. Babylon fell when few

plutocracy, 1 per cent, of Its population

wealth Is kept under tho keys of a smnll
proportion of our nation, It will not stay

wisdom to distribute- wisely, honestly.
That theso nnd other unsettled subjects

serious disturbances Is a season for re

lit. What will be the end of the axe's
boasts against the hewer? Read In this
ehnpter, Assyria hail been his assistant.
With It he hud broken (dels and pun
ished lsrae.1 for wanderings. After theso
victories the king said; "liy the strength
of my hand I dono this nnd liy my wis

Why 7, Wealth Inn eased, prluo rose, lux
ury led to wickedness and tho enemy
camo for his prey. Behind some alps God
hides the savage forces to desolate every
Rome that Ignores Him. He will have
thanksgiving or end the reasons for self
trust. Possibly to such alarm some day
ah, there Is the sea. It Is wide und pro
tects. It Is getting warm. As wo shorten
the time from light to light wo Increase
tho danger of Interference beyond tho

A brlge over Bchrlngs straits und around

packed together and then the smlters
may come from where we now say they
are too far to troublo us. It Is good
sense to admit ono need of (loj without
forcing Him to strlko us to show It.
"A burning like the burning of Uro" un
til another nation drops Into the ash heap
of tho uges. There Is not too much push
ing on, there Is too llttlo looking up.
God wants lo make us His greatest
agent that by us He may have his great
est acknowledgment. If we quit prallng
we may stop prospering. When the At
lanta Constitution said, "Our republic Is
too young to lose Its vitality nil nt once
nnd its downfall depends on so many
contingencies that it Is nltogether too
early to borrow trouble on that score,"
It forgot that with governments as Indi
viduals, nnno nre too young to die. We
must glorify God or go to our national
grave. Assyrlnns being sent by the Sy
barites to the orncle of Delphi to ask how
long the commonwealth would last weie
answered "until they reverence men more
than the g.ids." Our text Is the echo or
that mesage. We die when God Is dis
missed and man enthroned. So we call
upon you to sing to the Lord. Not with
us, not unto us, but unto thee, O Lord
do we give honor. A magnificent year
crowned with mercies throws Its splendor
about us. It Is a bountiful time nnd wo
should make the air tremulous with our
sweet praises, as the lark When tho
sky Is bright as It soars from its nest,
glistening In the sunshine and flooding
tho air with Its delightful notes ns it de
scends. We have clear skies and should
give cheerful sonqs.
I havo no dorbt it will be a relief to
some If I r.ou dismiss the figure of the
axe and let you go home to the carving
knife, nn American tool this day. It will
not be a b-jil amen to the head of the
house If you reflect before you out tho
fowl and enjoy the rich fare, it Is God
who made (ippetite and supply, so that
tho grace you often repeat formally may
have a full heart In Its ns you suy, "Ac

has come again, and while
you are giving thanks for the
good things of this life, don't

wear you put away last Spring
was getting rather too much
worn to wear you this season,
and be thankful you can get
such good values from us in
this line of goods.
