This evening at S o'clock Ttev. D. .1.
Stafford, D. T)., of Washington. D. C.
opens the lecture course for this win
ter at St. Thomas' College hall. His
subject Is "Macbeth," perhaps the
most sublime nnd Imptvsplve of
Shakespeare's productions. It lends It
self marvIously to the peculiar talent
of Dr. Stafford, who makes his au
dience forget the present hour, and feel
as If transported into the scenes
nnd Incidents portrayed, for It abounds
In distinct characterizations, and pic
torial charm, and poetic coloring to
an txtent not realized In the other
Plays.
There is not an incident or feature
of the play that does not afford an
opportunity for exquisite declamation
nnd analysis and the manner in which
he presents the selections made by
him makes an Impression which cannot
be forgotton. Among other items of
surpassing strength and beauty, we
may refer to the soliloquy, the vision,
the deed, the remorse, from the lines
of Macbeth: the dialogues between
Lady Macbeth and her Irresolute hus
band; the horrible features of Lady
Macbeth's night wandering, and the
w N of Macduff when he hears of
th murder of his wife and children.
These are gems of rarest beauty, and
Dr. Stafford presents them in a man
ner so realistic as to hold his audience
spell-bound.

THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-TUESDAY MORNrNO, DEOKM.HER 11. 18J)T.
MR. DUNNING HAS
SOMETHING IN VIEW
He nnd Health Oftlccr Allen Oct an
Idea In New Jersey.
TO SOLVE THE OARCAQE QUESTION
Scriinton's Street Commissioner Ilai
Ilccn .linking Flying Tnpi nnd
(Jetting Information tn Present to
Councils. -llln Scheme, IT Ap
proved, Will Provide font System
alio Collection nnd Disposal of
Kutitilsli nnd (inrbngc Without Cost
to the City.
The present system of disposing of
garbage, rubbish and street sweepings
In Scranton Is to be revolutionized If
council take favorable notion on a plan
soon to be submitted to them by Street
Commissioner Dunning. Ho hns re
cently been Investigating the problem
In New York, Hrooklyn and Euffalo,
nnd Is satisfied that the great bulk of
lcfus' now gathered In a slip-shod
manner can bo properly enred for with
out expense to the city, and possibly
with profit.
"From Investigations I have already
made." said Mr. Dunning to a Tribune
rejinrter yesterday. "1 feel satlslb'd
that the disposal of rubbish nnd gar
bage can be mnde withoft municipal
expense, provided councils will regu
late the question by proper legisla
tion." On that point Mr. Dunning
want d to be quoted correctly In order
that his opinion might be fully un
derstood. He has for sometime been
making It n study from n scientific
standpoint and his conclusions hnve
been so thoroughly shnvpd by n well-to-do
and influential Scranton busi
ness man that the latter has been
expi rimentlng with a view of ascer
taining the juvilU that could be made
from the sale of sortings.
HAVE A MARKET VALVE.
A brief and general description of
the sorting system in Now York city
will give an Idea of what Mr. Dunning
has In view for Scranton:
A hip bell, several fct wide, runs
over a large sorting table nnd carries
slowly before the gnze of a score or so
of pickers the rubbish from a Inrg
receiving bin. From this slowly mov
ing belt each plelur Is supposed to re
move one or two of the flowliig kinds
of refuse;
Manilla paper, mixed paper, paste
board, woolen rags, llnsey carpet, wool
carpet, white rags, black rags, mixed
rags, shoes by the jiound. shoes for re
pair, mixed copper, pewter, iron, good
rubber, white rubber, overshoes, tin
cans, glass, hair, hair cloth, hats by
the jiound, hats by the piece. Each of
these lots has a market value and
brings a profit to the jierson who gets
the privilege of sorting it. In New
York city the plant Is owned by the
city and ojierated by the contractor.
An uninformed person wouldn't ap
preciate a gift of a lot of tin cans, hut
they are worth $3.2.", a wagon load.
In New York the Hrewer's nssoclatlon
pays $1.75 pr gross for beer bottles.
Each of the other lots has Its value.
It costs nothing for steam to run the
machinery. After the rubbish hns
passed the pickers It drops from the
belt Into a bin and Is carried by an
endless belt into a fire-box and burned,
the heat generating steam for the
plant. The amount of fuel Is so great
that more than enouch steam is gen
crated. It might be Imagined that the
gas and smoke from the boiler plant
would be a nasty smelling nuisance.
Such is not the case, however. The
smoke and gases are forced by a blower
back Into the flames and burned free
of all odor.
For years the Scranton board of
health and the successive heads of the
street department have been nt their
wits' end for a remedy against the
scattering of refuse about the streets,
something that Is no less a sanitary
problem than one of cleanliness. An
opportunity for light on the subject
was offered in the meeting of the New
Jersey Sanitary association at Lake
wood, N. J., last week and It was at
tended by Mr. Dunning and Dr. W. E.
Allen, health ofllcer of the city. The
New Jersey cities on account of low,
level and marshy lands and an absence
of grade, have probably carried their
Investigations of sewage and other sun
itary questions to greater length than
any state In the union. In that state
It Is a science and not a political prob
lem. ADVOCATED SORTINC. SYSTEM.
Much of the Information gained by
the two Scranton officials was from
Rudolph Herring, of New York city,
late chairman of the committee ap
pointed by the National Sanitary board
to Investigate the garbage question,
and M. M. Raker, C. E., associate edi
tor of the Eiurlneerlng News. They
both advocated the sorting system
mentioned In the foreglng and which
Includes a system for disposing of
"wet" garbage. This latter makes it
possible to extract marketable grease
and fats, but the method Is too tech
nical to bo described briefly here.
Mr. Dunning has made three trips to
New Yoik, Ruffalo and Hrooklyn at his
own expense nnd In a week or so will
continue his Investigations In Phila
delphia and New York, chiefly In the
latter city, which possesses what Is
recognized an the model sorting and
garbage jilant. He will study It ns a
civil engineer, which Is his profession,
but will be accomjianled by a well
known mechanical engineer of this
city, who will Investigate from the lat
ter standpoint. They will then return
to Scranton to prepare drawings and
plans for a nlnnt suitable to this city
nnd which will accompany Mr. Dun
nlng's communication to councils on
the subject.
Mr. Dunning will, however, first nd
drcss the board of health In reference
to the matter, as that body will mean
while receive a report from Dr. Alien
and ask for further Information.
If the plan Is njijii-oved by councils,
householders, store keejiers and others
will be obliged to sort their "wet" and
"dry" garbage and rubbish, jilace It In
galvanized Iron cans on the curbstone
twice or llulce a week and have It re
moved free of expense to them by who.
ever Is awnided by councils the privi
lege. It Is not unlikely that the cost
of removing street sweeiilngs can also
be entirely done nwav with. In many
cities this Is perlormed gratis by per
sons who sell the sweepings for fertil
izer. HALF IS LEAKAOE.
It Is claimed that fully one-half of
the refuse now taken off the stteets Is
lenkage from ask nnd garbage wagons.
Much of the paper nnd litter Is from
storen or Is blown from the collecting
wagons.
Some mercantile concerns pay for tho
removal of refuse inatlor, others have
It done without cost and others recelvo
pny from the garbage mon all accord-
l lng to the iinture of the refuse. The
result Is that the whole system la
Irregular, unsanitary und unclean.

EXECUTOR'S NARROW ESCAPE.
Hy .llistnko He Shares an Estnlo
With One Who l Not nu Heir.
Attornov m, J. Martin, auditor In
the estate of P. ('. Callahan, deceased,
filed his report In court yesterday, nnd
It was given conditional approval.
The decedant Is survived bv a widow,
now Mrs. N. J. Norton, stud three sons.
Oeorge, John and Janv . Ho held
title to the property at 22S Lackawan
na avenue, but It wn In trust for his
chlldien. It appears that the property
was sold for tnxes soon after the death
of Mr. Callahan, and the executor
bought It In for the estat . Presuming
that this was regular, the executor
continued during eight years following
the death of Mr. Callahan to divide the
revenues from the property equally
among the widow and three children.
The auditor declares that the widow
was not entitled to any share whatever
in the jiroperty. Her husband was
estopped from benefitting from his neg
lect as truste and consequently the
sale to the estate was Irregular. The
estate having no Interest in the prop
erty, the wife therefore has no Inter
est. The fact that the children knew of
and countenanced the action of the
executor In paying a share to the moth
er saves the executor from being com
pelled to reimburse the children for
the money paid to the mother, which
amounted, all told, to $3,113.31.

ol llic Lust Council ol War of Leo
and His I'ollouers.
Scranton nudleiues nre not renowned
for their enthusiasm or for yielding
even a faint meed of appreciative dem
onstration to a speaker or to most en
tertainments. Oenernl Gordon could
not possibly have guessed such a fact
last night by the reception given him
nnd his uddress at Y. M. C. A. hall.
The auditorium was filled nnd the
sight of the flag of the Union draped
over the readlnir stand possibly was
the fit st Incentive to enthusiasm. At
any rate, when the tall, spare figure of
the Brent Confederate leader npjieurod
on the platform there was a phenom
enal and contagious burst of applause.
General Oordou's pleasant, kindly face
ami ins characteristic southern accent
are sure to make a delightful Impics
slon. Me has a marvelous gift of story
telling and often rises to a height of
eloquence that tin ills his listener.
His hapjiy salutation, "Ladles, com
rades and countrymen, It Is n southern
soldier who cullies lo you, but one who
Is true as any man In this broad re-
i public, to that Hag," captivated his
I audience at the outset. He then f-aid
that he did not piopo.se to speak so
much of the creat battles of the war
as to portray Important phases and In
cidents, relating In the last days of the
Confederacy. He believed that every
soldier who fell on cither side turned
his pale face to the sky In response to
the call of duty as he conceived it.
The boundaries of the Confederacy
were Gettysburg and Vlcksburg Ap
pomattox and Oreensbiirg. When the
sun of Us success went down to rise
no more, It left on both sides a record
of valor and devotion such as this
world has never witnessed In any other
period of hlstoiy.
WHY HE CROSSED.
The reason for Lee's crossing the
Potomac, tieneral Gordon humorously
described ns hunger on the part of the
southern tioops and the sight of Penn
sylvania's fat, fertile lands, with the
cattle nnd grain. Then, social reciproc
ity also entered Into the matter, as
they owed visits to the Yankees, al
though on the occasion of the call made
upon them at Antletuin, McClellan had
been given stt' ha hearty welcome asnot
