Unllko the othei munbeis of the Junta, he Is not a Cuban but u He brew. At college, however, liu bttamo acquainted with soeral Cuban ilass. mates und learned from them to .sm pathlzo deeply with the lot of tho natlie Inhabitants of tho i:er Faithful Isle. After Icning college and setting up us nn attorney ho continued his htudy of Oubnn conditions, und this resulted In his hecurlng the appointment which he now holds. He has been extraordln.irllj mio cessful In handling tho knotty legal points growing out of tho junta's activ ities In this country and Is accounted one qf the most nstute of tho j dinger mem bers of tho New Yoik bar. Attendance Olllccr Mai tin Jojco is do Ing good wcrk in this city. His position was created only in September, but ho has hod a most wtlrtnry effect on tin nttendanco at tho pi.hllc schools uni cer Joyco Is potic-bsed of a olco (na Jhj'mo Intended) which is calculated 10 utrlke torror to the heart oi tlio truant. When ho opens his mouth nnd utter 0110 roar, tho offending youngster straight way begins to tremble nnd isn't likely to again bo found on tho streets during school hours. Lassies whose habit It has. been to bo late four morning out of ilo turn pule und scamper off to school at u gllmpso of tho olilcer's .bravo uniform with Its brass buttons, nnd Indeed little loitering on the way or truancy is now leported by the touchers. Olllccr Joyv.o has a bltr district to cover but by somo miraculous omnipresence ho seems ablo to bo on tho bpot whero a naughty boy or girl has started out to run awny trom school. Tho fact that his zeal In his work has such personal effect Is used to good advantage as he Is most con siderate In avoiding tho necessity of causing expenso to parents who can 111 afford It.

For tho last thlrtv days tho work of organizing1 a company to bo known n.s the Pennsylvania lilovr-le Protective association has been going- quietly on. Now the nroject is In such shape nnd the plans so matuied that it was Sat urday announced by the board of di rectors that the nssoclutlon Is nn ns sured fact. Local wheelmen have had considerable experience of various kinds with companies of doubtful leputatlon, located all over the coun tiy, who, for a stipulation, pave the wheelmen a contract so worded as to fully protect tho company against any legal action a wheelmnn might take to iccover the Insurance on his wheel when the same hnd been stolen. Owing to tho location of these companies as tegards Scranton, the local wheelmen weie compelled to Institute a good deal of long range correspondence and. In the majority of cases, lesulted In a compromise that left the wheelmen In a more or p.s dlsatlsfied frame of mind. With the Pennsylvania Bicycle P10 tectlve a&soclatlon, theie will be no dilllculty of this kind, ns the company Intends to (online its operations to this and the adjoinine ountles, with bianclus in the pilnclpal cities in each county, and immediate action will bo tuken on all thefts. A decided novelty of wheel insuiance will be Instituted by this company Inasmuch as when a wheel i.s leported stolen, the ilder does not have to wait until his clnim is taken up by several ' loss committees" and undetgo a lot of icd-tape, but as soon as his claim is lepoited at the home office of the eompany, u wheel will be loaned to him ut once, that he may not suffer uny inconvenience from the loss of his mount. In the mean time the eompany, thiough its agents and ropiefcentntlves all over this pait or the state, and thiough the Uuulng & McSweeney nnd "Columbia Detective agencies, will institute a careful search for the wheel, which, if found, will be letumed to the rider and owner with out anj further chaige. If the wheel Is not iccoveied, the company will give a duplicate of the wheel lost as near as the s-arac can be obtained, und, if unable to obtain a duplicate wheel, will give a new wheel In plate of the stolen one. n.u-h wheel will be protected by a copyrighted and attiactlve Uthoginphed legister device, which will be placed in a prominent poMtlnn on the uppei part of the frame, indicating: the fact that the wheel Is leglstered with the association, and giving Its legister number. In nddl tlon to this there will be a pi hate matk for fuithei means of identifica tion. In addition to tho wheel Insuiance, the company has made auangements thiough the general agents of the Na tional Ilegistiy company, of New Yoik. to lsue an accident policy The company will be Incorporated, nnd application bus already been made to the governor for a chatter. The ofll ceis nnd dlrectois of the company aie us follows John A. Ftitz, piesldent, J. M. Kemmeter, lce-piesldent, Frank A. Hrandn,. secretary, William W. Mc culloch, treasurer, directors, A. S.

HANDICAP WILL DE OVERCOME Tho Absonco of Jocnl rights In Some of tlio Strong llcpubllcnn Winds Will Ilu Counteracted by onions ork--ltosumo of tho Unnl Contests Uhlcli Arc Lxcltlnu tho Most Interest In tlio Present Cninpnlpn. When the Republican city committee finished the flnnl council of the cam paign Sttnrdny night, Chairman Chit tenden told the candidates that their election wns nssuted. This was sn'd ofter the field had been thoroughly canvassed and every obtruding iues tlon thoroughly discussed, pto and con. Nothing but nn unexpectedly small Re publican vote can cause even a single defeat and ns the best of Itepubllcan weather Is promised there is little need In worry on this score. The calculations ure Hint there will be a big vote polled by both sides nil through the cltj. It Is seldom that a city committee hna taken such nn Inteicst In Its campaign nn has the present one. Its evcty mem ber Is a worker and in the cause at hand, a willing woiker. Tho meetings wero enthusiastic and linimonlou3 and vhcit each was concluded those pres ent went uwny with the satisfaction of having accomplished something. It ie mains now for the Itepubllcan voters to cioun their zealous elToits with success and to do this all that Is necessary Is that they come out and vote. WARDS THAT 1IAVK FIOHTS. In the ward fights everything; pres ages that the Republicans will come out with a gain In both councils and in the school boaul. There are Some-very clos. nnd exciting fights, however, and It will be no walkover in some Instances for the Republican candidates In the Second ward Common Coun cilman P. F. Gotdon Is endeavoring to crowd out his colleague, Selectman Wade M. Finn, and as he is a vety popular young man and a hatd lighter It ins been necessary for his opponent to do some of his chaini'teilstle hust lir.t to clinch a vlctorj. In the Fouith wind thare Is .llso a HvMv fight for sole t council but tho chances of Demociatlc success are very far lemovcd. The watd Is overwhelm ingly Republican and thf candidate, Simon Thomas, is one of the strongest Republicans in the ward .is was shown In the three cornoied primaries from which he emerged with a inability that was suiprlslngly laige even ir his 1110.U tanguine friends. John Ronchelei, the Democratic cindldate, counts on get ting some voles from dissatlslied Re publicans nnd he doubtlessly will, but they will be few at the most and will be more than offset by tho Democratic voteis that this popular young oppon crt i 111 t-ecure The light for common couni 11 hardly deserves the dignity of being classed In the category of con tests so sine is the victory of the Re publican candidate. William A . GrilU ths. HOPLS IN Till: SIXTH Kven in the Sixth, where a Repub lican never wus known to win there nie conlldent hopes of Republican vic toiy, because of Democratic dissen sions. Common Councilman John V. Regan and P. F. Oalpin us tegular Demociath ate opposed for select and common couni llmen respectively bj' Se lect Councilman M E. Claike and John Joyce. With all this .strife In the lanks of the enemy and the fact that the Rellevue Heights dlstilct of the ward Is going to make a full showing of its strength, thirf time, the Republi can candidates, Hdwurd James, Jr.. for select and Chnrle.s L House for com mon, have everv" reason to believe that thej' will be elected So feaiful are the Democrats that the Republicans will carrj- the waid that the Democratic city committee has made frequent, though unsuccessful, effotts to get Claike and Jojce to pull out of tho Held Mr. Clatke communicated to The Tribune last night a request that de nial be made of the rumor that he had wlthdiawn from the light. Fted Duir; the piesent Republican selectman from the Hlghth, Is being opposed for le-electlon bv Thomas C. Melvin, proprietor of the St. Chatles, Mr Durr has a lecord of never hav ing been defeated and will unquestion ably keep his tecoid unbroken In Tues day's fight It would, however, be a dlsiegaid of the truth to .say that he dois not count on a lively contest. F. AV. Zizelmann, the Republican candi date for common councilman, went Into the fight ut tho request of many citi zens of the watd, and expects, with the help of people who want an nggres slve and Independent tepresentatlve In the lower blanch, to retire the present member. John J. Flanaghan, who be cause of his utilllntlons has outgrown his usefulness as a tepresentatlve of the second tidiest watd In the stnte of Pennsylvania The Ninth waid has a fight on for the oince of aldeiman. the tegular Re publican nominee, Myron Q. Kasson, being opposed by the ptesuat candi date, O. II Wrlgnt. who Ir tunning stump. There Is no Democtatie candi date and as a consequence the Repub lican nominee and the Independent ate devoting much of their attention to the cart oiling of Democratic votes. The Twelfth ward has no Republl- California ORANGES 1 5c per lb. Chocolate Creams and Chocolates assorted fla vors. Fine Vanilla Choco late 14 lb packages 5c each. E. Q. Coursen ''Bost Goods for Least Money." 20 for 25c can candidates, but thero Is a fight there, nevertheless, nnd It Is needless lo sny It is a lively light. The present Incumbents, Selectmnn James J. Man ley nnd Commoner Morgan Sw eenny.nl lowed tho primaries to go by default, that they might avoid tho possibility of ha vine to run on opposite tickets nnd announced themselves ns Independ ents. They are opposed by John J. Shea for select council and John J. Monahan for common council ni the regular Democratic nominees, nnd for select council Henry Coyle nnd An thony J. Lundy are also nominees. The different tickets are respectively named Democratic, Independent, Citizens and People's, Mr. Coyle being tho People's candidate, Peter Ross, for select, nnd M. II. Rlnehnit, for common, will seek to give the Fourteenth to tho Republi cans and their chances of nccompllsli lnc; this are very bright. They oppose Selectman P. F. McCann, who seeks to-electlon, nnd Charles Wenzel, for whom President I'. J. Nenlls, of com mon council, sacrificed himself In the hopes of staying tho sure defeat that confronted the Democruts In that ward. Now It is admitted that the sac rifice was a fruitless one. SCHROliDnit HAS IT KASy. In the Sixteenth ward Select Coun cilman Adam Schroedor received nn unanimous nomlnntlon from tho Re publicans and Is unopposed for elec tion. His colleague, Fred. F. Schoen, will bo one of tho men who will cut down the Democratic majority in the lower branch. Edward Coleman Is putting up n game fight ngnlnst him, but theie nie no fenis of his being elected. The Eighteenth has a hot Democratic fight for select council; In fact, It Is one of the hottest of the campaign. John Hobnn Is tho regular nominee and his opponent Is Thomas O'Royle. There are two Democratic candidates In the field for school controller In the Nineteenth, Frank Mnnlej- and Peter Allbaugh, but as they neglected to have court decide which, was tho tegu lar nominee, neither will have his name on the ballot nnd ns a consequence the Republican candidate, Louis Schwass, will have comparatively easy sailing. In the Twentieth ward M. T Cahlln, for select, and M. O. Lnngan, for- com mon, are running ns both Independent and Republican candidates against Thomas J. Coyne, the present select mnn, who wants to be given another trial, and M. J. Cuslck. It is a fac tional fight and the chances strongly favor the Independent-Republican candidates. MYSTERIOUS FIRE. It Causes Considerable Loss in a Spruce Street Store Building Losses Were Large. (Ptompt and effective work by the firemen quenched u fire which sturted from a mysterious cause about mid night Saturday night in the two-story wooden building nt 51S and E20 Spruce street, and which Is only half of the whole structure, Nos. r.22 and 524 being sepatated by a paitltlon und a first lloor stairway leading front the street. The vacant stote at Nos. CIS and MO was occupied by a wax wotks museum. The front olllces upstairs were occup il by Attorney Oeorge H. Davidson a, I the Culver Manufuctutlng compan.,, William Frantz, a real estate agent, occupied a middle office off tho upper hallway; Fiank II. Leader, two print ing oftlces, and Sherman & Musser three oflices. One of Leader's ofllces and one occupied by Sherman & Mus ser wete at the tear of the .second floor. Patiolmau Chatles Neuls dlscoveted flames Issulnsr from both doors at the tear and tinned in an alarm from Roc 2C, at the corner of Lackawanna and Washington avenues. The central city companies were undet the ditectlon o Dl.stuct Engineer Louis Schwass. Chic Hlckey being confined to his home by an Injured foot. The lire wns quenched in less than nn hour. An examination tevealed that the Willis, lloor, type cases nnd fumltuie in the teat olllce of Shermnn & Musser had been thoroughly burned, us had been the rear room of the Leader es tablishment. The other rooms near the rear of the second lloor weie mote or less burned, but not as badly as the back looms. The front ofllces were but bllghtly Injuied by smoke and water. Fiank Chevalier, of Monti eal, was the ptoprletor of the museum on the htreet floor, which contained $12,000 wotth of curios and wax llgmes. The contents of the museum wete almost totally mined, but no pait of the big loom it occupied was severely burned except nt the rear und under the tear loom of Sherman & Musser. C. P. Dnvidbon owned the sttuctute, which was dumnged to the extent of $1,200 and was fully Insuied Sherman & Mussel's damage was $1,200 and their Insurance $800 In the agency of II. S. Keller. Mi. Leader can led no insur ance; his loss wus $500 In the lear room of Sherman & Mus her, where the damage w rought by the Hie Is most apparent, nn overturned oil heatlntr stove wus found after the Hie. v, Proprietor Chevuller, of the museum, came here with several assistants from Wllkes-Barre, whete he lost several hundred dollars, His entuie here was also a flnnnclnl loss and he had ar ranged to go this week to Syracuse, where he had engaged a place for ex hibition put poses and paid a week's rent In advance, for which he holds a receipt. To pay his bills in Scranton he paw ned some diamonds nnd a brace let for $120. Accotdlng to a Btatement to a Til bune tepoiter by Chevalier and his assistant, William Hill, they left the museum ut 11. ns o'clock, turning n Bwltch at tho door, thus shutting off tho electric lighting current. About fifteen minutes later the lire was ills covered. Chevalier claims that there was a party of men or boys chinking und carousing In Sherman & Musser'a es tablishment when the museum wns closed for the night and that there was no elcctilc current or other .souice of a flte In his pait of the building. A few weeks ngo a flro was discov ered In tho cellar und was traced to a drunken colored man who worked about the building. Ho cared for tho heating plant and slept in the build ing.

The new mooting' room of the Young Men's Christian association at Wash ington avenue was filled with nn en thusiastic body of young men nnd mem bers of tho association yesterday after noon. Mr. Chnnco conducted a delight ful musical service, consisting of a trombone solo "Romansn," with or chestral accompaniment, beautifully rendered by Mr. John Tutn. A bari tone solo, "Ono Sweetly Solemn Thought," by Ralph Wllllums, nnd en thusiastic singing by the nudlenco of fnvorlto selections fiom ucspel hymns Nos. 6 and 0. Geneial Socrctarj George G. Many conducted and nddrcssecl the meeting. He announced first thnt contrary to their usual custom a collection would be taken for the purchase of new hymn books. A generous contribution was made for the purpose and nfter sinking again, Mr. Mahy spoke as follows: TEST OF ITS CHARACTER. "Tho tecent destruction of our beau tiful building on Wynmlntr avenue was a test of its character. We discussed the matter of Insurance in our direc tors' meeting some months ngo, and decided that It was a wife building and thnt the danger of anything more than a partial loss wns very remote. The tire proved that we were wrong, Just so a good many men are satisfied with their chutch and attainments but in tho great trial by fire which is to come on all human accomplishment the re sult will lie made apparent. 'This disnsttr to our bulldinc: is a test not only of the building Itself but of the very fabtlc ot the association w hlch hnd Its home in tho building. Th business men of the city have nener ously undertaken to replace the build ing' with a better one, but thej' have a tlpht to expect tho utmost loyaltj' and even self-sacrifice on the oart of th'e voting men who are the direct bene ficiaries of the work. "It will le Impossible for the asso ciation directors to ask the business men for generous conttlbutlons to the building fund and to expect them at tho same time to support the work in the meantime, this must bo done by the young men thembolves and the way to do It Is for the members to pay up their fees, even though they do not get the full equivalent In physical or intellec tual or social advantage. TWO CLASSES OF MEMBERS. "There will be two classes of mem bers enrolled th'ls summer as Mr. Frank, our mctnbeishlp secretarj', calls for renevvnls. The "getting" mem ber and the giving1 member, In which class are jou? Let us Ive such an object lesson to the city of loyalty to the aosoclatlon and unselfish devotion to Its work, .th'at those who have the matter In hand may feel encouraged to plan largely and L'eneiouslj' for us because we deseive it " The earnest facts in the nudience at tested the deep Impression made bj Mr. Mahy's appeal. And at the close of the meeting1 voluntarily gave their names to present voluntarily gave their names to Mr Trains, as suppoitlng members, and this without suggestion that such ac tion be taken at that time. It looks as If the young men were verj- much. In earnest and could be de pended on to do th'eir part In tho coin ing canvass for the new building. COSTLY DAY'S WORK.
