NEW PLAN FOR
ASSISTING POOR
Suggested to Board of Charities by
Lincoln E. Brown.
HE WOULD ESTABLISH A IIOA1E
It Would Ho Modelled Aftor tlio Ilnlo
Home, oT Ilostou, MnssM of Which
.Mr. lirown niul Ills Viro Aro or
in Clungo-Tho Homo Would Ho
l.ocntcil In Ono of tlio Industrial
Suburbs of tlio City.
At tho nuotlng of the board of asso
ciated chntltles Inst night n letter win
lend by Secretary Rogers Isinel from
Lincoln n. Hi own, of Boston, Mass.,
who, with his wife, wants to establish
a social settlement in this city. Mr.
Blown, ns his letter states, win form
ally a lesldent of Moscow, lie Is a
graduate of the Meudvllle Theological
school, and Immediately after leaving
college Mr. Brown engnged In social
work In Brooklyn. Afterward Mrs.
Blown and himself assumed charge of
Hale Home, a center for one of the
fourteen social settlements In Boston,
and named after the tcnouned Edward
Hverett Hale.
Mifi. Brown was formerly Miss Zelda.
Stevens, a teacher In the public schools
of this city. Her mother. Mis. C, Shin
Inger, now resides nt 431 Webster ave
nue The letter Includes a thorough expo
sition of the plan which Mr. Brown
would like to intioducp In this city.
Biielly outlined It Is as follows: He
would estnbllsh a house In some din
trlct populated by the poorer classes
similar to the Hale Home. In general
theie aie four factois 1o be considered,
viz: Locality, workeis, a house aft a
woiklng center and financial support.
LOCATION OF HOME.
As for locality Mr. Brown, fiom per
sonal observation while In this city,
would select either the region of the
upper steel mill or the lower mills.
With head woikeis provided Mrs.
Blown nnd himself are willing to un
deitake the work without any salary
guarantee for an experimental period.
"Assistant workei.s," says the writer,
may always be depended upon to draw
laigely from the different church cir
cles and from the body of teachers In
tho city.
As for a house, Mr, Brown would
select one adjacent to the woiklng
Held, A laige parlor floor with con
necting rooms which could be tin own
Into one when occasion required, to be
used for library and toclal gatherings;
one or two extta rooms for clubs or
class work; a good kitchen, both for
the convenience of the residents and
for giving house keeping lessons to the
girls; three or four sleeping rooms for
possible residents, and bath room are
the leading requisites.
The financial problem, according to
Mr. Brown, may be solved by the sub
scription method. He gives ns an esti
mate of the expense: $200 for furniture,
$400 for house rent, $75 for gas or fuel,
$200 for house help, $W0 for Incidentals,
An executive committee of philan
thropic persons would direct the Home.
CANNOT ACCEPT OFFER.
Tho letter was received with Interest
by the members of tho board last night.
At the present time, however, the board
could not see Its way clear to the en
couragement of Mr. Brown's proposi
tion. The secretnry was Instructed to
lespond accordingly.
The rest of the meeting of the board
was devoted to routine work. The re
port of the agent, Mrs, W. B. Duggan.
bhovved that during' the past month 53
applications had been received, of
which 48 had been deemed -worthy.
The large number was due to the holi
day charity.
Christmas Day 111 dinners were furn
ished the poor, and about 200 child! en
piesented with toys. The resignation
of Misa Mary F. Kelsl, muse, was
laid over, after discussion, for the next
meeting.

DIME BANK'S ANNUAL A1EETIN0.

Condition of tho Ilnuknud tlio Work
Accomplished During the Year.

At the meeting of directors, which

Jlicck made the following annual ad

To the Stockholders ot the Dime De
posit and Discount Bank of Scranton,
It gives me pleasure to announce to
you that we huve Just parc?d through
the most successful year since our or
ganization. The bank, In consequence
of the earnest effoit ot its directors,
officers and stockholders, continues to
win the respect nnd confidence of tho
public Tho Institution stands second
to none In point ot being worthy ot It,
for I can assure you that 'there Is no
bank In this city that has greater safe
guards sui rounding it, than our own.
Not a week passes by throughout tho
entire year that your directors do not
meet together and most carefully scru
tinize the paper presented for discount,
us well as any applications for mort
gage loans that may be offered. In ad
dition to this, a committee Is appointed
by the president to examlw the affairs
of the bank, and this committee con
sist of two directors and one stockhold
er. Without notice, to the officers, the
committee from time to time call at
th bank nnd count tho cash on hand,
examine all the discounted notes nnd
moitgages, the railroad bonds, collater
als, and other securities. They also
get a statement from the New York
and Philadelphia banks, which we
make our deposltoiles, eiifylng the
cash to our ciedit. In fact nothing is
left undone to secure ns careful an ex
amination as that nf the state bank
examiner, who, by the way, visited us
within the past two weeks, and found
such a satlsfactoty condition of affalis
that there was nothing to criticize,
and when I say this people who under
stand what critics these men usually
are, will appreciate that wo have lea
son to congratulate out selves.
Our total deposits at the close

Making In all $20,489 S3

$100,000.
I.s this not a splended showing for
the youngest bank In thlb city, and
should we not all feel It Is a subject for
mutual congratulation'' Here let me
remark, that much of the credit of this
result is due to the can fill and efficient
management of our cashier and telleis,
and the very excellent clerical force
under them who spare no pains In do
ing thplr full duty.
To show that we me the people's
bank, I will state that over "13,000 sav
ings accounts have been opened since
the bank commenced business, and
that we paid out for lntue.U "to de
posltoi.s duilng the paht yeat $10,
760 13 Beside the savings accounts wo
have at ptesent about lelevin bundled
active business accounts.
To give you Hinie Idea of the way we
have been ptogiesslng onward and up
ward I will show you n compatatlve
btatement. The bank commenced busi
ness Match 30, 1S91.
Jan. 1. 1MU. deposits $139.00') 00; sur

In addition to this, dividends at the
late of six per cent per annum have
b;en paid to the stockholders since Jan.
13, 1894. and last jear your dlrectois
can led over $10,000 to the suiplus fund,
making It $50,000 aside from undivided
pioflts.
So you will observe that there has
not been a jear in which we have not
addFd materially to our surplus and
undivided pioflts. and that the past
year has been the banner one of all.
Many of you ote doubtless aware
that we own our banking house, which
Is, without doubt, one of the finest loca
tions in the city.
You will be interested to learn that
the bank Is now furnished with the
Holmes Electric Piotectlon, which is
tho most adquate safe-guard that hu
man ingenuity can devise against burg
lary. It Is adopted by, the leading
banks of the countiy as well as the
United States tieasury department,
and our deposltoiH may now feel con
fident of tho absolute safety of the
moneys contained In the vault, while
our bonds and other valuable securities
ure kept In the vaults of the Lacka
wannn, Tiust and Safe Deposit com
pany. Your president was one of a
committee who formed what is termed
Tho Burglar Electilc Protective asso
ciation, and, after muny meetings, the
system was adopted. The banks Join
Ing with us were: The First, Third,
Savings and Trust and Lackawanna
.Trust.
Before closing, I want to thank you,
each nnd all, for the very efllclent old
you have given In bringing nbout our
ptesent ptosperlty, of which you may
feel Justly proud, and let me urge that
there be no relaxation of effort, on the
contiary. that the success which has
been achieved will encouiage you to
still harder work in behalf of our in
stitution, Let our motto be onwatd,
and, as a result, tho youngest bank of
this city will prove as poweiful as
those of much maturer years, and rank
second to none In the confidence of tho
community.

The next case tailed was that of Jo

Oravvltz, appellant, appeal from the
common pleas of Luzerne. John T. Lon

for the appellant, and John McGnhron
and B. McManus for the appellee,
It appeats that Oiavitz was a well-to-do
saloonkeeper In Hazletou, con
ducting one place and owning the
premises and flxtutes of another, of
which John Wllnvr was. pioprletor.
Wllner wanted to go out of business
nnd Maitachowskl was desirous ot en

of the mother borough should pay the
Wnirlor Run school district $6,169.74.

grounds that the Act of Juno 1, 1S37,
under which the adjustment was made,

constitutional. The principal defect in
the act is alleged to be that It pro

contended, is special legislation. It is
nlso held that the subject of the act
