Not a little Interest has been awak ened In the question us to whether tho many iccrults recently enlisted from this legion in tho United States urmy lose their vote by going Into the regular service. It is, of coutse, un derstood that tho volunteers for whom special commissions were nrranged lor tho purpose of Uk'ng their vote, con tinue to hold their home residence, but that the soldiers in tho lesular army have no buch crlvilege. Several men who were recruited under Lieutenant Dntler went Int" fctrvlco with the idea that they could icturn home to vote, or that at least they did not lose their franchise. The rubject has, bo 11 brought to th" attention of Judge Archbald, who is of tho opinion that a man enlisting in the regular army and who, during his term of setvlcc, can by no posslbi'.itv claim a place of residence, is disqualified for . otlng jubt as is a man in the navy A recent dec'a'on which threw out the vote of inmates of the Soldiers' Home at Urle may bo cited in this re lation. The impoiHiernnce of judicial opinion seems to lo that tho iccrults In the regular aini have lost the priv ilege of the ballot d.irlng their term of serv Ice. m i. MORNING FIRE AT THRO OP.

STAPLES SPOKE ABOUT THEM YESTERDAY. Veiy Distinguished Company List ened to Her in tho Pallors of tho Hullstcad Rcsldenco on Wyoming Avenue Comparison Instituted Between Maclnien nnd Banio The Subject of tho Next Talk Mrs. Staples Will Deliver Will, Bo "A Study of Shelley. Mrs. William F. Hailstead's spacious nnd beautiful looms wcte thiongcd with ladles jestetday afternoon on the occasion of Mis. Staples' second talk ill the series of literary subjects being ptesentcd thtough November. A pleas ant diversion In connection with the af tot noun was a little musical pio gramme given by Mrs. llnllstcad's at tractive niece, Miss Mabel Harding, of lllnghamton, N. Y., accompanied on tho piano by Miss Lillian Cicarlmrt Miss Hauling has studied under Mis Kntherlno Wilcox and sings verv chatmlnglj'. She rendered "A Dream," by Hartley, and the popular little song, "Four-Leaved Clover," The subject which Mrs. Staples hud aiianged for the afternoon was a study of the Scotch novelists, Uarrle nnd Maclaren, whose veij- names have a fascination In themselves calling up delightful memolles of Tllllodttltu and Diumtnchty. Mrs. Staples has a pleas ing voice, and her method of tieatlnt: the character sketches so cleveily drawn by tho two gieat vvilteis was atti.tctlve. THE DIFFCRUNT SCHOOLS. She preface-el her talk by comparing the undosliuble qualities of certain schools of novelists with tho pine and elevating Inllttcnco of these Scotchmen who are a power In leading many to a better plane of living. In sneaking of the foimer fad for French lie tlun she lemaikcd that It Is prefeiable to enpv our gowns from tho French than either our novels or motals. With Banio. tho "Auld Lieht Klik" Is the picdoinlnant foituto, and In bis studies it Is soon that Scottish life is much the panic us In tho daj-s of Knox, of Clavei house und Lauduidale. Tho speaker then refened affectionately to "The Little Minister," Incidcntully not ing the beauty of Muudo Adams' pui Uaial of Babble. She believed the strongest scene in the book to be that In Nanny Webster's old mud house, when she was to bo taken to the poor house and the suc ceeding Incident whom tho minister takes tea with Nanny and Ladv Bab bie. Tho pathetic story of selfdc nlal in tho life of Mr. IMshart's mother was touched upon brlellj. Consldei.ible tlmo was given to "Sen timental Tommy," which, to mnny minds. Is Barrle's best book. Tho lov ing, faithful study of the child's soul wiindeilng at itself was delightfully plctuied, and the little scene when Tommy and "Shovel" ellscus the llvnl gloiles of London and Thrums was mentioned. Tho Htudj of li.trria closed with a sketch of Murgaret Ogllvy and her pride In her son. COMPARISON INSTITUTED. Mrs. Staples compared Muclaien with Bat lie as evincing mote seat citing methods in ills work, but possessing the same patience of genius in his mlctoscoplc attention to details. Shu read the chapter 1 elating to George Howe's contest for tin scholar ship and finished with tho heait-bi cak ing scene where Maiget gives to bis classmates the picclous prizes won by her dead son, whoso ftinct.il service is being held "beside the bonnle btler bush" In the old gulden. Tito loading wus attended by the society leadeis und many lepies-'untu-tlves of the eultinul circles of Scran ton.

The advisability cf changing the lo- cation ot the plant of the Honesdale Iron woiks lrom ITom-sdalo to Scran ton wes discussed at a meeting ot tho stockholder) In this city I'estordav. No dellnit conclusion was leached. Thi object of the meeting was to elect tlirectois. The following board was elected: Hon William Council, Alfted Hand, Henry Belln, jr., Luther Keller, Cum ad rfchroeder, Sciinton. W. I). Holme1) and W. W. Wood, Honesdale. W. W. Wood, manager ot the works, and Mr. FiUpatilok, the rompany's accountant, both of Hone3dale, attend ed the meeting. Twice within as many years the pro ject ot establishing the plant in this e it j- has been dk-c ussed and nt one time when tho matter wus bclore the m'tntttuctuters committee ot the Seian ton boird of tiodo It wns In a lnlr w ij- to be accomplished. The tlmo, however, was not considcied aus picious. Elevator building is the chief buslners of the works. It Is believed by manj of the stock huldois that n removal to Sctanton would not bo handicapped by the ma chinery, that It could bo easily han dled, that better labor could bo se tuitid bete, that the shipping facili ties would bo b"ttet ; tint a head quarters !n the third city of the state would add i rostige to the company's standing, and that fuel would he cheaper. llonctdale's comparative Isolation on nt count of the abandonment of the IViawaro and Hudson gravity load Is the most poignant inducement for making tho change. Enough was said at the meeting to wait ant the belief tli-it the plant will be in operation in Scianton eventually.

LIBRARY FOR WEST SCRANTON PEOPLE OVER THERE PLEASED WITH PROSPECT. They Hopo Ultimately to Have n Handsomo Building Devoted to Library Purposes It Is Expected That tho Branch Library Will Open Dec. 1 In tho Room3 of tho Welsh Philosophical Society. Thero Is Small Doubt That It Will Bo a Success. That West Scrunlonl will have a free llbiuri nnd rending loom once more on lurger scale than heretofore provided by the Wclsm Philosophical socictj-, in their rooms on South Main avenue, poems now to bo an nssuicd fact. This matter has recently been consldeted la vol able, us announced in J-estci day's Tribune, bv n Joint session of tho trustees of tho Mbrlght Monuilal Libinij and the above named soslcty and nnangements aro being peifected tow aids that end. When tho loom is opened, which It Is expected will be on or about December 1, It will serve iw a delivery station for tho cen tral public llbrarj. A competent person will be engaged and the rooms will be kept open during the afternoon und evening of each week duj It Is expected that the burden of rustnlnlng this commendable move ment will bo borno mutunlly by the public llbiaty and tho Weish Phllos phlcul society. Should tho experiment, which will bo continued until next spring, be sticccwful, the whole thlntr will bo nindo permanent and can led out on a larger and more advantageous scale. From present Indications the Welsh Philosophic nl society will then, lit a degree, lose Its idontltj', and their present llbiary will be donated to tho central public library, the experimen tal bunch then becoming patt and parcel of tho public library sy stem. THE SOUTH RIDE BRANCH. It will bo remembeied that such a ptep was suggested sometime ago by Tho Ttlbune and that Librarian Cutr has alvvuj'.s advocated such a stop, where It was feasible and of such a decided advantage The experimental station in South Scianton which has been running now for neatly a year has pi oven tho pincticabillty of such r stop. The assistance of tho centrnl public llbraij1 has, ot coutse, been lim ited by u lack of funds, and the South Scranton station was materially as sisted bj' popular subscription. Where a portion of the city Is ben fitted In a publlu manner It In natural tlutt the portion should help In some manner any movement which tends to that end. West Scianton with Its thir ty or more thousand souls has long needed a llbtarj- or reading room in its midst. The Welsh Philosophical so ciety through Its trustees, Judge II. M Edwards, B. Hughes, James A. Ev ans and Daniel J. Kvans, liy Us public Mpltlted act of tht owing open Its rooms during tho winter partially filled this really "aching void." The socletj. how ever, is not wealthy financlallj" and It reeiuhes at least somo funds to sus tain the rooms and furnish peilodlcals. That the present movement w 111 have a greater support than heretofore seems possible. Tho West Sldo board of trade are represented by a commit tee comprising S. R. Jones, W. Farrell and D. D. Evans, and through them intend to nsslst wherever possible. In fact tho boaid unolllcially has already considered tho Idea of Instituting1 a movement toward raising funds by popular subscription to put chase a lot and erect a building for a public library for West Scranton, which shall bo a bianch of the main library In the eentul cltv. FEASIBLE IDEA. This idea seems feasible and would undoubtedly meet with tho deserved success. Theie are enough societies, orders and such like In West Scranton to unite with the board and citizens and cany out such a movement on a largo scale, giving us a lurge, beau tiful structino, suitable for library, so ciety meetings, public events and the llko purposes. Then, too, tho many church txiclctles could materially assist and It would bo right, lor vvhero In telligence and molality Is cultivated, Christianity holds sway. It has tight ly been said that the publlo benefactor li ho who does tho most good for the largest number. Tho councils.notlclng how such move ments benefit their constituents, can act In a more liberal manner when ap propilations uro made for tho publlo llbiury. SWISS WILL CELEBRATE.
