hands In despair nnd Adjourned when
amendments amounting to $10G,C10.S7
were milled to the deficiency of $72,-Olrt.-lO
already existing. Tho commit
tee will meet again Monday evening.
The adjournment was for the purple
of permitting the city clerk to have the

out of the muddle.

committee, was elected chairman of

The adjournment to so near n date
as Monday gives the city clerk but
scant time to have the ordinance print
ed. It Is probable he will not be able
to do It in the time allowed. It was,
however, the opinion of tho commit
tee that tho absence of the printed or
dinances Including the amendments
would cause no delay, as tho committee
will hae present representatives of
several departments who will be ex
iimlned concerning their needs. From
the answers given, the committee will
be guided in its future deliberations.
WHAT CHIEF HICKEY ASKED.
The supplementary estimate of $60,
790 submitted by Chief HIckey, of the
Are department, is exclusive of the
regular estimate of $43,391.09, which ap

tho fire department amendment In
cludes many Items, the largest ones
providing for n fire headquarters In the
rear of the city hall, additional perm
uncut men and new apparatus.
In addition to tho general city ex
pense items about $C0,000 will have to
bo set aside for the sinking fund and
Interest account. That sum, however
Is provided for outside the $295,100 rev
enue for general city Items,

MODEL LECTURE ON
CHARLES DICKENS
(liven by Dr. J. II. Pennlmaa, ot the
University ol Pennsylvania.
OeNIUS CANNOT HAVE CRUDITIES
Un ThU Scoro Ho tixoused the Paulli
That Homo Find with Ihfl ropulnr
Novelist.. Hli Attention to Detail
Is Grotoiqiic nt 'limes Hut That Is
What Mnkos Dirkens Dickens.
Amuses Hut Docs Not Make One
Think.
The second of the series of free lec
tures being given to the people of
Scranton by the University of Penn
sylvania, In line with the university
extension Idea, took place last night
In the high pchool auditorium. The
lecturer was Dr. J. II. Pcnnlman, pro
fessor of Kngllsh literature at the uni
versity and dean of tho college and
his subject wns "Charles Dickens."
The audience wns regrettably small,
smaller than it should have been even
considering the unpropltlous weather,
for it was to be expected ,that a free
lecture by such an eminent lecturer as
Dr. Pennimnn uuon such a popular
subject as Dickens would crowd any
ordinary sized hall in any community
that had a regard for its intellectual
reputation.
Those, however, who did uttend can
have It to ay that they heaul a model
lecture. It was by a learned man with
raro ability to effectively and Interest
ingly Impart his knowledge; a lecturer
who strove to truthfully dissect and nn
alyze his suljject and to avoid attempt
ing to place high above all other sub
jects the one he haupins to treat.
RAD1CAD STATEMENTS.
A strlklrg example of this was found
In his stntement with' the qualifica
tion that he expected it to be contra
dicted that a strong taste for Dickens
was not always evidence of gient Intel
lectual Dow or.
Quite as Interesting ns the lecture
proper waa tho review of the history
of literature leading up to Dickens'
time. In tlm Ellzabethean period, he
s.ild, the novel ns we have it today, did
not exist. There wa Instead the Eng
lish drama. The novel Is the successor
of the dramn: alms nt and succeeds
in fulfilling the same functions.
The English drama arose from the
church services. During the period
marked on the one hand by thp verge
of the dark ngoB and on the other by
the Introduction of printing, the crav
ing for knowledge and the desire to
teach fojnd menn3 only In the church
sen'lcs. This gave tls to objective
presentations of the storio3 of tho Bible
such its we now sec In the passion play
periodically given nt Obeiamniergnu.
These presentations wore transplant
ed to the stage In due time. A fault
was discovered In the gap which lay be
tween the people of this tlni2 and the
characters represented. To make them
more likely of arousing sympathy chnr
ncters not so far distant were Intro
duced, such ns saints, well known and
popular. A devil was nlso worked In
and to give an opportunity for fun
making Satan wns also accompanied by
an Imp.
TENDENCY1 GREW APACE.
This tendency of modernizing the
dmma grew npace until finally ap
Engllshmun was Introduced into the
drama King John. He was the first
Englishman, tho lecturer remarked,
that was ever characterized on the
stige, If it will be accepted that tho
devil Is not English.
The answer to "What Is the function
of tho drama?" answers also the ques
tion "What is the function of the
novel?" It Is as Hamlet Is made to
aptly put it, to hold up the mirror to
nature In reading Dickens you look
Into a mirror and .oo life lu the times
of which Dickens wrote. Dickens' pov
erty and his calling as a leporter en
abled him to hee and peculiarly fitted
him to tell of what ho so well depicted,
ply the test of merit to a work.
That his books wore popular even
when they first uppenred Is not to be
wondered at becau.se they treated of
everyday people. That they are popu
lar now possibly the most popular of
English novels argues that they pos
sess merit, for posterity nlone can ap
ply the leht of merit to a work.
He Is popular because he Is a gen
ius. Talent does as well as It knows
how. Genius does better than It knows.
That touch of genius licensed him to
set at defiance the conventionalities of
the day. Tho "bad taste of Dickens
Is not bad taste for the same reason
that it Is argued that Thackeray's did
acticism Is inconsistent with art ex
cept Thackerey's art.
ANOTHER REASON.
Another reason of Dickens popular
ity, the lecturer said, with a aomewhat
timid and smiling air, was that he
makes no demand on intellectuality.

MEARS &
In this connection he made tho state
ment that a taste for Dickens la not
always accompanied by great Intellec
tual power. Ah compared with Thack
eiey, Dickens amuwa whtlo the other
makes you think. The two great qua!
Itlos of Dickens' mind were his quick
observation with the subsidiary power
of writing it down Interestingly, and
his very vivid, virtually poetic, Imag
ination. Dickens In IiIb writings had a dis
tinct moral purpose. In Nlckleby he
discovered the) abuses of the county
school; in Oliver Twist he awoke Lon
don to the realization that criminals
were not born hut made; In Little Dor-
rit, he showed the evils and fallacies
ot the debtors' prison; In his Christ
mas stories he told of tho sufferings
of the poor and strove to awake tho
rich to a realization of their duty In
thl.s regard. He called attention to
these abuses in a way that forced at
tention. Wrltlncr out tho chemical
formula for combustion Is nn essayist's
way of describing It. Burning your
ringer Is tho novelist's method. Dick
ons was a novelist
While it is true that Dickens wrote
of real men and woman It Is remark
able, that he never builds an ordinary
everyday character. Every one of his
characters has some marked peculiar
ity. Each bears a label. It has been
snid of him that he takes n character
istic and makes a man of it.
READ PART OP THE CHIMES.
Dr. Pennlman read a portion of the
opening: of "The Chimes" to lllUBtrato
how Dickens dwells so lengthily on
unimportant details a fault some say.
He gives more attention to present
effect than to total effect. He slights
the senBQ of proportion. He is abso
lutely grotesque at times in his minute
ness of detail. But that 1b what makes
Dickens Dickens, and ns said of Thack
erey before It Is not consistent with
art except Dickens' art.
Dr. Pennlman was Introduced by
Professor W. H. Buell, of the School
of the Lackawanna, who made the an
nouncement that the next lecture of
the course would occur in about three
weeks. It has not bb yet been decided
what it will be.
