Dr. W. 12 Allen, health otl' ccr, and JI. r. O'JIalkj, plumbing in spector, made an examination of the santtaiy condition' of Nos 4 and 9 buildings in the Sexenth watd and pte- ennf ii1 tViult tii-iii ilM ti i ciiiavI t tltu VU H-V VliVIl IJ IL 11 IllV-ll H HM li IU LIIW fliullding committee The substance of thu tepoit, which was piesentcd by Jlr. Schilefer, was In substance as follows: No 9 is an old sttuctute, heated by stoes, the pipes of which allow smoko and gas to escape. The building has no pmvislon toi entilatlon, and the u li lt contains is eiy toul, so foul that pupils frequently go home .sick. In No. 1 building tin sewer pipes end at the llxtures they chain, Instead of tunning up thtough the roof so as to prevent all compression 01 accumu lation of sewer nil. The traps are not syphoned. The toilet moms are In the basement and have but little light and no emulation. In the toilet moms are four Indirect ladlstors lor heating the clnss looms, and not haling the fresh air supply combined It Is fou' nflet leaving the toilet moms The watei closets ate ot the type known as "Itange Washout," and in e only suitable for a detached annex. They are not entll.ited and an? made of Iron, which is eeuiosle, and the place is of thoroughly unsatiituiy 11I1 hotbent construction. The initials are of the tiough pattern, without entilatlon and have paitltlons without pnnlslon foi being (lushed 01 cleaned. Xo special pi oilskin exists for ie mot ing foul air from the building, nnd the odor of the toilet Is easily detected lu the class looms, paitlcularl. those known as Intermediate C and Pilmary K. SOME srCJOESTIOXS We would suggest that the tolkt looms be iciuodellcit, that the tloois, glazed brick walls and sheet metal be used In coustiuition, that new win dows be nut In. the piesent one en- laiged, that the iudlieet i.adiatots be removed to one of the adjoining base ment rooms, that the sewer pipe be continued for ventilation through tin roof, that blick all pipes be provided for trup ventllat'on undei the base nient sink and the wash basin- on the first and second Hoots, that the tang, closets be replaced with eatthern syphon 1er closets, pioptily (quipped with sanltniy appliances, that tho initials be of the automatic flushing type, propet ly trapped, that fnsh ab be introduced and foul air lemoved by proper ventilation of the toilet looms fo that the air though changed bo kept at an even temperatmo Wo earnestly renin st our adoption of the above recommendations, know. Ing that at their completion you will have toilet rooms whose in iterlal will be perfectly non-absorbent In construc tion, and the plumbing fixtures placed therein, absolutely non-corrosive, all of which vvp ery respectively FUbmlt to your honorable body The concluding paragraph Is tho only one in tho report that Is published -verbatim The repoit was refined to tho building committee for further uport at the next meeting.

Hallentlno The Good Shepheid Rectory, Sirnnton, Nov. 2S, 1SBS. Eir-,. Church Seml-Centennlal. Editor of The liibunc. Sir The "Seml-c vtennlnl" of the fiist, ginnd, old. histonw Presb terlan churcli of Scianton has become an im poitant part of histor. Important be cause I believe that the good accom plished by that chutch slnie Us oigan Ization will be beard from in eternity, when all the faithful shall have at tained to that absolute rest and peace In God thtough Jesus Chi 1st. I should not feel satisfied to let such a spiiltual. Intellectual nnel progres sive epoch in the history of the church go by without uttering a few senti ments, for I have always found the piembers of that church kind and gen erous to my people. And then it was at one ot their theological seminaries, under such gtoat men as Drs Hodge, Jacobus, Wilson and Ilornblower. I found that the teaching of the church Is "eveiy human being Is one, though bis qualities are manifold." This one Integial nature exhibits itself to us by means of these manifold qunlltles. They am not It, they are manifesta tions of It. they are modes of Its ex istence When, looking on the one side, we find that the highest tenn that vve can use is love, and on the other, vve look at the beneficent working of tho forces of the Intimate connection of every soul with this hidden cause, so that eveiy life touches It. comes forth from it, and exists In It we find no word so fitting as the vvoid love to expiess the rtalltv of this relationship Pach addt ess deliveicd at the semi centennial Is full of Christian love and far-maching. and In the language of one of the speakeis let us lemember "That all chinches have their origin in the pi a or meeting, and it is equally the fact, out of the pi ay or meeting spt lugs the revival No church can live without the pi aver meetfnir" IL A Grant. A JI. K. Chinch. Scranton, Pa. Gendnll Has Something to Say. Falltot of The Tilbune SIi While leaning the WIlkes-Baue Record I noticed an ai title copied from our paper In legard to a game of foot ball which was to be plaed at Scran ton on Nov. 24. The teams to contest wen the St Thomas' college and the WIlkes-Baue. The article stated that some tele- grams weie sent to the team ut Scian ton and that I was the one to blame, as being captain nnd manngci of the Wllke.s-llarie team. This is not tiue, as the tc-atn at Wilkes-Hart e can tes tify. I was not nt any time captain and mail. ice 1 Tluougli Jlr.
