SISTERS' INSTITUTE
Rev.
T. F. Coffey, Mrs. Burko and
Miss Burke Aie Heard.
Rev. Thomas F. Coffey concluded
his talk on tho Liturgy of the mass
yesterday morning at the teachers' In
stitute. After a tribute to the signifi
cance nnd pre-emlnenco of the mass
over all other forms of penance ami
adoration, rather Coffey declared that
the coming together nf people In tho
service of the mass pioduces import
ant results. In i evolving holy com
munion there I one table and one
only for the common use of rich and
poor, sick and well, old and young.
The fact that mass Is celebrated In
the Latin tongue Is often discussed.
There are many reasons for it. The
mass In the early history of the
church was said In Latin. The faith
does not change nor the language In
which that faith has Its chief expies
slon. Another reason why latin is
used is that if mass was said in the
vernacular, in tho tongues of vatlouo
nationalities the catholicity of the
church would be lax, the unity of tno
fold would be Impaired. A third nd
vantage Is that those who qualify to
CPlebrate the maw in Latin enjoy the
literary benefits of the ages that are
gone. The literature of tho early
church was alt In Latin, and has been
handed down In its purity to present
generations.
The altar Is generally built in the
form used by the early Christian5!. It
may be of various materials but In
every one must be the altar stone In
which are Invested, sealed and ce
mented relics of some of the saints.
By no condition or permission can
mass be read by a priest without the
altar stone.
SOME SUGGESTIONS.
In the center of the altar Is the
tabernacle about which gather sug
gestions of St. John In the desert, Mt.
Sinai, The Last Supper, recalling
thoughts of Calvary, the Real Presence
and Christ among His People. Ic Is
surmounted always by tho cioss at the
front of which Mary stood.
In civilized lands a priest may not
say mass without a fccrver who lepie-
sents the people asfclsting In the sacri
fice. The description of tho sacrificial
details were very Interesting. This
morning Father Coftey will speak on
"Church History."
Mrs. Burke lead a greeting fiom
the Sisters of St. Fiancls at Lacrosse,
Wis., nfter which Miss Burke took up
the subject of geogrnphy, In which
she emphasized teaching actual facts
Instead of the abstiact Ideas, otten
gained from this study. She advised
getting as far as possible from the
danger of allowing the children to
think of cities as dots nnd rlveis as
crooked lines. Miss Burke Is pai llc
ularly Interesting and helpful In her
talks.
After Intermission Mrs, Burke con
tinued the subject of grammar. She,
advocated parsing, but spoke strongly
against diagramming and warned
teachers not to place too many Incor
rect expressions before the child. Let
him see the good In grammar and
companionship, not the bad. In fact
false syntax should not bo used in the
lower grades. Mrs. Burke asserted in
the course of her remarks that twice
as much money is spent on chewing
gum as on text books, while tho
amount spent for candy was fourteen
times gi eater. The United States doea
not pay enough for education.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
In the afternoon Miss Hut lie spoke
on arithmetic, giving many practical
hints. She urged more use df mental
arithmetic nnd advised tho "cycle"
system which teaches advanced parts
in simplified form to the lower grades.
Her talk was heard with great Inter
est. The room was intolerably hot during
this session as the windows were dark
ened to prepare for Mrs. Burke's stere
optlcon lecture which followed.
Mrs. Burke spoke charmingly for
some time on "Culture Heroines," dur
ing which times many beautiful lllus
tiatlons weie shown. She began with
Dante's words:
"Our Intellect engulfs Itself so far
That after It tho inimory cannot go,
And then gave a series of anecdotal
sketches of many revered saints of
the church. Among them Saint Luey,
Saint Margaret, Saint Cecelia and
Saint Barbara, St. Elizabeth, of the
Roses, was named and four famous
repioductlons of pictures of St. Cath
arine were shown, among these being
tho well-known one of Andrew Del
Sarto. Thiee views of tho Slstlne Ma
donna in deta.ll were given, while tho
Slstera sang softly "Mother, Tell Me,"
the effect being most Impressive.
The session of this forenoon will end
the institute, after which Mrs. Burke
will go to St. Louis, and Mlsa Burke
will start Immediately for Albany and
a stay at Lake George.
PAVEMENT CONTRACT
HAS BEEN AWARDED
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS PRO
POSAL OF M'DONALD.
His Proposal Was the Second Low
est Tho Lowest Bidders Were Not
Considered Responsible Objec
tions Raised in Both Branches of
Councils to tho Award of Con
tracts for Eire Department Appar
atus, but Holloway Got the Award.
Minor Business Transacted in
Each Branch.
The contract for paving Providence
road and North Main avenue now
awaits Mayor Bailey's slgnatuie.
Last night the award was made to
George McDonald by councils, both
branches of which wore In session.
Councils' action ends the stilfe
among rival brick concerns, the Scran
ton vltiihed brick being Included in the
award. The lowest bidder was James
B. Rellly & Co., but It was found that
their pioposal was based upon a mis
conception of the specifications and
ordinance and they were released at
their own request.
The joint pavements committee,
however, could not Ignore the Rellly
proposal In the fate of the following
opinion of the city rollcltor:
CITY SOLICITOR'S OPINION.
Scranton, Pa., Julv "JS, lyiS
Thomas O'Boyle, Ls-q., Chairman Pav
ing Committee.
Denr Sir: Your committee has no au
thority to permit Rellly & Co. to with
draw their bid for paving North Main
avenue nnd Providence road or to dliect
the return of the certified chick nccom
panilng the same
It Is the duty of the committee to rec
ommend that tho contract be awarded to
tho lowest responsible bidder. This con
templates that tho bidder shall have pe
cuniary ability to make a good contract
as well as Judgment nnd skill In Its exe
cution. The settlement of these matters lies
entirely within tho province of councils
who may reject any or all bids as their
discretion miy dictate.
Yours very respectfully.
M. A. McGlnley City Solicitor.
In view of tho foregoing the com
mittee decided that Rellly & Co. were
not responsible and submitted to se
lect counci' the following tesolutlon
which was adopted:
Resolved, By the select council of "he
city of Scranton, the common council con
currlng, that the contract for the paving
ot Providence road from court street to
North Main avenue and North Main Horn
Providence road to the Dlekson city line,
with tho Scranton vitrified wire cut brick
bo and tho same Is hereby awarded to
George MacDonald at tho prices named
in hla proposal, viz.: Scranton ltrilled
wire cut hrlck, J1.T2 per square jard;
straight curb per Ureal font, .".5 cents; cir
cular curb per lineal loot, b5 cents;
straight curb with tile drain per lineal
foot, CO ccnti; circular curb with tile
drain per lineal fot, b5 cents; sewer ptpe,
12-Inch, per lineal foot, 21 cents; receiv
ers, each, $7 The work to be done accord
ing to plain and specifications and city
ordinance. The contractor to give tho ten
yenr guarantee according to speclflcs
tlons and to furnish a sample of the
curb to the city engineer's olHco before
the wnik Is commenced.
Common council concurred in the
award.
The opposition of certain property
owners along a part of the route to
having the pavement laid beforo a
sewer Is built, has not been aban
doned. A committee recently select
ed to represent them will apply to
court for an Injunction to restrain the
city from permitting the pavement
work. This was stated by membeis
of the committee who vlMted The
Tribune editorial rooms after last
night's meeting. On the committee
are O. V. Palmer, George Brown, Pet
er Ceilne, C. S. Lowry, Horace Twin
ing, John Zurflleh, Thomas Green,
John Kelstllng and Mr. Loftus.
ALL KINDS OF TROUBLE.
All kinds of trouble arose In aw aid
ing to Charles T. Halloway the ton
tract for a chemical apparatus for
Columbia company and for a com
bination hose and chemical wagon for
Relief company. Tho Holloway pro
posals were $1,470 and $1,200, respec
tively, for the combination and the
chemical apparatus, as against $1,400
and $1,175 bid by The Fire Extinguish
er (Babcock) Manufacturing company,
of Chicago.
The" joint fire department commit
tee presented two resolutions that tho
awaids be made to Holloway, each
resolution providing for "Improve
ments suggested by committee." When
the resolutions were rend Mr. McCann
offered objections to their passage, aa
they did not provide awards to the
lowest bidder.
Mr. Thomas, chairman of the fire
department committee, said the Hollo
way engines had been In use In the
city and were considered satisfactory;
the qualities of the Babcock appara
tus were not known to the members of
the committee who favored tho next
higher bid because the Holloway ap
patatus would contain several new de
vices. Mr. McCann said ho understood that
the Babcock apparatus would have all
those Improvements. The committee's
report and resolutions were adopted
on the following vote:
Ales Messrs Ross, Finn, Thonns,
Williams, Wagner, Robinson, Schroeder,
O'Boyle, Frable, IIcAndrcw 10.
NuisMessrs. Kearney, James, Roche,
Melsln, Shea, McCann, Fellows, Cojne,
Chittenden 0.
There wa3 lively debate in common
council when the resolutions were re
ceived for concurrance In that bodv, a
half-hour being required to adopt them.
Messrs. Keller, Calpln, Oliver and
Walker strenuously opposed their
adaption, while Messrs. Zlzlemann, E.
Wenzel and "rler were as active In
supporting tht i.
SOME OBJECTIONS.
It was claimed the awards should
not bo made In the absence of written
and specific information as to what tho
"Improvements" meant; that tho word
ing of the resolutions gave tho manu
facturer the privilege of doing the work
at low cost unless Lie proposed "Im
provements" were specifically written,
and, finally, that tho contracts should
bo awarded to the Babcock company,
as It was the lowest bidder, a respon
sible concern and had bid according to
specifications.
Mr. Zlzleman said the "improve
ments" chiefly consisted of a change
in the specifications providing for a
device for speedy refilling of the chemi
cal tanks. Ho and Messrs, E Wenzel
and Grier argued that the excellence of
the Holloway apparatus was known In
the city and that the Babcock was not,
and that the Babcock bid was not
'strictly according to specifications.
A motion to table the awards was
lost by the following vote of 8 to 12:
Ayes-Messrs. Walker, Calpln, Mono
ban, Oliver, Coleman, Keller, T. Morris,
Sheridan.
Naj s Messrs, Reese, M. Morris, Grier,
Grimtho, Ollroy, Zlzelmann. 13. Wcnzsl,
Wirth, J.ukion, Cuslck, Norton, Molr.
Mr. Oliver Insisted that the proposed
changes In the specifications be made,
in writing, claiming tho contract
would not be properly furfillcd unless
this was done. He finally offered nn
amendment to strike out the "Im
provements" clause In tho resolution
then before the house, that relating to
the combination award. Tho amend
ment was defeated by n vote ot 7 to II
and the resolution adopted by an aye
nnd nay vote. Tho chemical award
was then made.
Mayor Bailey's nomination of Thos.
A. Potter to succeed John Hawks aa
police patrolman, was received by se
lect council nnd referred to commit
tee. Potter is a bricklayer by trade
and resides on Pcnn avenue in the
Sixteenth ward.
OTHER NOMINATIONS.
Other nominations by the mayor
were confirmed ns follows: George Ro
en, Inspector of the South Side sewer;
T. F. McCann, Inspector of the Elev
enth ward sewer, nnd ex-School Con
troller "William O O'Molley, member
of the board of health to succeed Hen
ry Zelgler, whose term has expired.
Among the new tesolutlons Introduc
ed were the following: Providing for
cots for William Connell Hose com
pany; directing the city solicitor to
furnish an opinion as to tho right of
the Srtanton Rnlhvny company to lay
a double track on South Main avenue

ing: Directing the city engineer to pre
pare estimate and specifications for a
tfagstone sidewalk nnd curbstones on
both sides of Gibson street from Ca
pottse to Washington avenue; directing

at Neptune Engine house.
The sewers and drains committee re
ported favorably the resolution award
ing to Flanagan & O'Hora the contract
for re-bulldlng the Bromley avenue
sewer between Washburn and Jackson
streets nt $1.49 per lineal foot. Soma
objection was offered to Its adoption
on the ground that several proposals,
all equal ns to pi Ice, were submitted
and that only one of them complied
with the plans and specifications. It
wni stated bv Messrs. Monahan and
Calpln that Flanagan & O'Hara's bid
was not complete. A motion to post
pone was lost and the resolution was
adopted.
Select council's resolution directing
the city solicitor to give his opinion as
to the right of the Scranton Railway
company to lay double tracks on South
Main avenue, between Jackson and
Washburn streets, was concurred In.

CAR SHOPS ARE CLOSED.
No More Repair Work to Be Done at
Hazleton by Lehigh Valley.
The Lehigh Valley repair shops at
Hazleton were closed down Tuesday
and tho employes notified that their
services would no longer be required.
The order was a surprise, as there was
plenty of icpalr work on hand, and
only that afternoon a large train of
coal cars were backed Into the siding
to be repaired.
There was some doubt at flrat, how
ever, as to tho conectness of the .'u
mor, but Keith said: "It Is true that
the icpalr work at tho Hazleton bhops
will be dispensed with and tho work
done at Weatheily. There has been
so llttlo of this kind of work done
here, and the expense and inconven
ience of transporting supplies here to
keep the shops running has been such
that the company could not do other
wise than to close the repair "hop at
this point."

SOLDIERS' PAY IS
TO BESENT HOME
RELIEF COMMITTEE HAS ADOP
TED A NEW PLAN.
Monoy Paid by the Men to Dr. Parke
Major and Surgeon, Will Bo Sent
in One Draft to the Secretary ot
tho Executive Committee for De
livery to the Families Association
Has SI, 300 Available in Cash and
Subscriptions.
At yesterday afternoon's meeting of
tho executive meeting of the Soldiers'
Relief association Chaplain Stahl's
letter, published In The Tribune yes
terday, Informing the committee that
Dr. C. R. Parke, major and surgeon,
had consented to receive from the sol
diers sums of money to be forwarded
at stated intervals, after eech pay day,
to the executive committee for families
at home, was read and dlscued. It
was decided to adopt the plan and tho
secretary was directed to notify Chap
lain Stahl and Major Patku to that
effect.
The money will be sent home in one
draft accompanied by a. detailed list
of the remittances nnd will be paid
out by the socretnrv according to the
list accompanying the draft.
The secretary was directed to cot
respond with Major Keller, surgeon of
the Thirteenth, relative to the needs,
if any, of th soldiers of the Thirteenth
In the Fort .Meyer or camp hospitals.
In reporting a number of bills for
supplies on orders given by the com
mittee and presented to beneficiaries,
It was noted that Ambrose Mulley, the
North End merchant, had deducted 5
per cent, from all his bills ns his con
tribution to the fund. It was stated
that he would do this on all orders.
Secretary Atherton presented the fol
lowing financial report, which was ap
proved: Cash on hand as per last report .$ 771 ''2

It was observed that the associa
tion hd been organized rlnce May 20
During that period the amount of
money expended Indicates that the ex
ecutive committee has enough money
on hand or subscribed to last until
Oct. 1, provided the expenditures in the
future aro no greater than In the past
The secretary reported that passes
had ben furnished by the Delaware
nnd Hudson nnd Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western companies for
use by the committee's investigating
agnt.
The committee deplored the practice
of eome soldiers who spend money to
come home on furloughs instead of
sending It to their families. In many
of these cases, the expense of the fur
lough Is reallv met by the association
which contributes legnlarly to tho
suppoit of the families. It was also
remarked that many soldiers, whose
families are being helped by the as
sociation, fail to send any of their ray
home. In several such cases the secre
taty has written the captains of the
soldiers. It Is cxrected the plan for
senolng remittances home through
Mijor Parke will In a measure remove
this cause for complaint.
