J O'Toole, of Scranton, objected to th appointment of committees at that time, as It had not been ascer tained who were delegates to the con vention Ho said nothing was In order at that time but the appointment of a committee on credentials. The presi dent In consequence did not officially promulgate his appointments until after the report of'the, computes, on creden tials, which shewed that there were J04 delesatesjinraUondancc. " Mr. O'Toole renewed his objections to the committees stating that several of the men appointed were not dele gates to the convention. President Lavln Insisted that all of the men named bv Mm were under th consti tution entitled to a voice In the con vention, but If they were objected to he would listen to a motion to have substitutes named for the objection able ones. No one offered tu substi tute names and the committees were allowed to. stand as read., The con vention then k took a recess until 2 o'clock for dinner When tho delegates reconvened tho Rev. R. A McAndrevv, pastor of St. Mary's church, of Wllkes-Barre, was Introduced and delivered a short ad dress, In which he spoke words of en couragement to the delegates and as sured them that the clergy die heartily In sympathy with the tQtal' abstinence movement. In closing, tye said that before the convention adjourned . he hoped that n resolution would be spreael on the minutes endorsing tho position the country has taken in the present international conflict PATRIOTIC WORDS. "We nro now engaged In a war," halel Fathei McAndrew, "In which every American citizen should uphold the hands of our national authoiitles. It is neit a question ot nationality; not a question of religion. It is a question of country, and every American citi zen will be found ready to do his duty. The Catholic citizens of America nre patriots to the ceue and all are ready to motect the btarry Hag that waves over our heads: the glorious emblem of civil and religious llbert)." Father McAndtew's remarks were gieeted with loud applause. President Lavln followed with his annual address. He said the Scranton union has for years occupied second place in tho National union as to mem bership, but unless the work Is pushed und societies not now identified with the union are gathered Into Its fold, ll will seion have to be contented with third place. ' Hy lequest of tho national piesl dent. Rev James Cleary, and yielding to a deshe of a large number of our societies the board of government has unconditionally reinstated the Father Mathew society of St. John's parish, Plttston," said President Lavln, "and submit our action to this convention for your approval " He suggested that It was a mistake for the convention to attempt to de fine tho duties of 11 spiritual director ot the union, and udvlsed the convention to petition tho bishop of the diocese to appoint 11 splrltunl director Mr. Lnvin deplored the fact that the or ganisation of ladles' societies hnd not n et with much success, and that the quarterly conventions were not un to tin stnndard that should be aimed at. He also felt called upon to regret that th last annual p.uade at Ilazleton was far from being a success. THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. The national convention, in Scran ton. last August, he said, was a groat success, and leaves a landmark In the history of total abstinence In the Scranton union He made an urgent plea for more broadness of mind and thoroughness In working for the spiead of total abstinence doctrines, and said that the striving for higher education, the organizing and nurturing of cadet societies, nnd the creation of good li braries should be the object of adult society to the end that tho temper ance movement may spread and per manent results be secured. Mr. Lav In's report was received and filed. J. C. Gallagher, the first vice presi dent, read an Interesting report, which contained many valuablo suggestions, tho adoption of which Mr. Gallagher felt would greatly strengthen the movement nnel place societies on a more substantial .footing. He suggest ed that the, constitution be amended so that an office may be created to be filled by a woman who will ha,ve gen eral charge ot the work done) by wo- men's societies, nnel of tho organiza tion (if new societies composed entirely of womun. lie also favored a Chan no of tho constitution, which will provide for n rltunl service In connection with tho Initiation of members into societies iconncctpel with the union. Tho report wni filed. Tho report of Secretary McLaughlin showed tlint there are 63 societies on tho roll with a totul membership of MDO. Forty-four of the societies nre composed of ndults with a membership of ,1,965, Thcro nro eighteen cadet so cities with a membership of 1,350 and three endot societies with 133 members. During the ear four cadet nnd two adult societies were reinstated. Tho expenses of the union during the ear were $542 and the balance now" on hand. Is $151.60. Mr. McLaughlin's ic port was filed nnd a vote of thankes tendered to tho officers for their re ports. TltnASUItETVS REPORT. It was announced that tho treasurer of the union, V, F McDonald, of Cai bondale, was not present but that hta report will probably be presented to day. The minutes of the last conven tion ns printed were ndopted. The matter of the reinstatement of the Father Mnthow society of Plttston, or rather the overtures looking toward the reinstatement of that soc.ety, were then taken up and discussed at somo length. It appears that llev. John Fitmen, V. O , of Plttston, felt that an apology was eluc to him and the society frerni tho union In addition to an un conditional reinstatement. The boaid of government has passed a resolution of unconditional jelnfltatement but re fused to make the deserved apologies On motion of Michael McGurry, of Scrnnton, the whole matter was lefer red to the Incoming administration for settlement. This motion was appreived In its tcport the committee on constitutional amendment favor ed changing article four, reetlun one. of tho by laws to pet nut of Increasing the ellocesun union per capita tax from live to ten cents to gle the union a greater working fund for spreading the move ment. TIiIh proposition had many en thusiastic champions and many others worn equally aident In theli opposition to the proposition John Etovvn, of Scranton, moved to lay tho motion on a table and nfter a vote was taken, but before n decision on It was given, President Lnvin declated the whole matter out of oider. THE CHAIR SUSTAINED. M. J. O'Toole, of Scranton, appealed from the decision of the chair and Vice-President Gallagher was called to the chair and put the appeal. ThJ decision of the chair was sustained, A lively debate over the amount of salary to be paid tho secretary fol lowed and It was finally fixed at $100 a year. Rev. J. J. Curran, of Wllkes-Barre, was Introduced to the convention at this point and made a practical ad dress to the delegates In which he counselled them to be wise and Judi cious In their dellbeiattona that great good may result from the convention. TRIBUTE TO MRS. JAMES C. HART rnken Irom the Roclioster Democrat nnd Llironlcle of Meindiij. Rev. Dr. and Mrs Robinson have re turned from Rocheter, where they had gone to attend the funeral of Mrs. Jams C. Hart. The following tribute to her memory Is from the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, of Monday. "The world will wear a saelder face. Its heart will bear another pain. That for her pity's tender grace Its hungiy M'atch must bo in vain." The death of Mis James C. Hart is ono whose grief to filend-circle, to churth clrele. and above all to home-circle, is blmply Immeasurable, and finds balm ulouo In the fae t that for herself death could be "onl) gain " "Heart-breaking" Is the only word that can express tho tor iow that has in her departure come to nn exceeding number in this community, Verv lew aie those who In tho dear and giaelous lelutlcms of life have been so much to so manv. and multitudes thcro bo who, though not bound to her by any tlo of blood, ht 111 feel her dLath as thoiibh It wens the taking away of one of their own kin A woman was she from whoso heart kindness breathed as niturally as fragrance fiom Mowers, and to whose lips harsh and ceii"-oilous woids weie ttiang ers, with whom un'-elllshuos was not a now-and-thun Impulse, but a constant life-habit, who forgetful of he-r own hap piness, was ever happiest in m eking otn ers happv , to whom rlche', brought no ostentation, but Instead the desire to help the humble and needy, ana who pilzed wealth frr Its opportunlt) of geneioslty and its powet ot eharlt) , whose benev olences, though they sought seoiccy, )et, because) of their veiy number, could not remain concealed; whose friendship in the i "right hours of othets lives was so svveot and sunn) whose s)rr,pathv in their dark hours was so tenilci and strong what words can c press tho extent to which by many in the frlcnd-elrelo she Is and will be mourned und missed? A Chrlstlen fiom early )outh, love to tho Master was with her constantly translated Into nets of loving kindness and devotion wns the prelude to duty. In her reilgkus life there was the same beautiful simpllclt) and absence of nil false dlspla) which maiked all her con duct On every hand, In tho church-circle Is heard the tearful question, "How can wo do without herV" Hut what words can tell of the tender ness nnd beauty of het life In tho home circle at first among brothers and sis ters in outh In her father's houc, and later In her own wedded home Thete In happv marriage and happy niotherhcoel, all the wealth of her unstinted love had Its lavish outpouring And thete where tho sorrow Is keene'st out sympathy goes In fullest flood. Our hearts bleed tor the husband called to underso the greatest bereavement possible to man and for tho daughters who never again can speak to her on earth the word "Mother!" It Is lives like Mis. Hart's that mako us Hiiro that death Is not death. "It can not be that earth Is nil. That she today Is less than we That death can hold within its thrall A life llko het's It cannot be." "The heart whoso throbbing silent Is To earthly senses, beats on high, The stnrllka soul Is queni-hed In this, To brighten In another sk). ' -N. M. To tho Lndlet of Scrnnton nnd VI dully.

The stnie bcheme Is shown In tho Albright library building. Edward II. Davis is the architect and Conrad Schrooder the builder of the Williams residence.

The billiard room will have a floor space 16 by 20 feet SOME OF THE DETAILS. An Idea of the purity of design may be had in the fact that 40 feet will in tervene between tho rnvo and ridge of the Immense Spanish tiled roof. The ornamental stone woik, solid and open, on tho toof. gables and else where will be enrved Thete are many dormer windows ot stone and copper shown In the plans.
