Figures Proaantod Which Will Ex cito tho Interest of Many Who Aro Not Already Well Acquainted With tho AsEOciated Charities Work- Directors and Other Offlcors Elected and Committeos Appointed for the Ensuing Year Five Direc tors Have Died Recently. The fifth annual meeting of the di rectors of tho hoard of associated char ities was held last night In the Al bright library building. Officers wero elected, committees nppolnted and re ports made which will give to the pa trons of the board a comprehensive Idea of the work of the c!ty' far-reaching and non-sectarlon charity body. Tho annual session followed the reg ular monthly meeting, which had ad journed sine die. T. J. Kelly was elect ed temporary chairman and D. J. Phil lips temporary secretary. Hev. Hogers Israel made tho follow ing report of the board of directors: For tho fifth year we present our pa trons, tho genoious nnd benevolent peo ple of Scranton, with a leport of tho ni'inner In which we huve performed tho Must cnnllded to cur charge. It Is well to always keep before us the objects for which wo labor and the good wo deslro to attain. To tills end we ngaln note with care the purposes of this organt rntlcn. They are to reduce vngran :y nnd pauperism and urcerlaln their trua causes; to prevent indiscriminate and du plicate giving; to protect the community against Imposition; to sec that deserv ing casts of destitution nio properly re lieved; to make employment the basis of relief; to eluvnto tho home life, health and habits of tho poor nnd to prevent children growing up paupers." To this end tho Associated Charities co operates with tho poor board, church and parish societies and Indldlvuals, and all other associations founded for tho relief of tlui needy. It endeavors to investigate thoroughly and ultely and to refer to these various oignnlzatlcns such cases ns should come vr.der their care. A full nnd complete register Is kept of nil ap plications and Investigations to thnt any Individual case may bo examined In full at any time. The extent of thH work may be seen when It Is found that In tho past five years n.sil applications have been received nnd 4.202 investigations made. Tho grjat difference between tho number of Investigations nnd tho num ber of applications is occasioned by the fact that mar.y appllcar.ts nro well knewn and are referred at once to proper organ izations or having como for advlco only nro kindly counseled and dismissed. DUKHSIFIED WOKK. The woik of tho organization is not co.i fined to simply cases of physical need, but very many nr plications arc received requiring peculiar wisdom nnd knowl edge of practico In every day life for their solutions. Parents with incorrigible children, husbands and wives at varlunce, men nnd women seeking employment, mothers and fathers seeking help lor wayward daughters, calls from asso ciations and Individuals in other cities to assist them In finding erring girls. Add to this tho constant watchfuln!ss required to prevent imposture by wander ing beggars and fuklrs from children trained and kept for the purposes of sup port by professionals and last but not least tho constant caro and anxiety caused by tho needs of tho sick poor which can bo only partially relieved be cause there is no district nurso to call upon, and you have a work taxing to her utr.icst capacity and powers of endurance the wise nnd Indomitable agent who Is employed by this board. Iieglnnlng with tho hope that the Asso ciated Charities would be simply a prac tical investigator nnd bureau of infor mation on nil cases of poverty nnd need, hnrmonUing, unifying and most inateii.il ly assisting nil effoits for the ameliora tion of the condition of tho poor It has been forced by tho necessities of the case to assume tho roll of adviser, rescuer of the fullen. instructor, employment agency, district nurse and bestower of charity In cases of emergency nnd imme diate need. In the live years of Its existence tho association has gained great experience and is continually Improving Its methods of work. Bcglnrliii; with but little co-operntlcn from many of those societies and Indi viduals Interested In helping the poor it has gained not only recognition but tho heartiest co-operntlon of nearly every m dividual nnd society In tho city. Desir ing to direct iono but to bu of assistance to nil wo have the satisfaction of know ing that our efforts are now appreciated more than ever before by tho generous and wlso hearted people of our city. VACilJAXTS AND PAUPERS. Comparing tho past year with tho first years of thu existence of the. Assoclatoj Chnritiea wo can hotter Judge how near wo have como to tho attainment of the objects ivo have sought. Vugrancy and pauperism has been largely reduced in our city. A number of professional beg. gars have left tho city taking their fam ilies with them. Child begging us a call ing has been broken up und few children aro now met begging, u great contrast to former years. The association's lefer enco card has larcely decreased tramp und other house to house bagging und ev ery citizen has tho comfort of referring doubtful cases to the society's agent or on Inquiry at th ottico' finding tho stand lug of the applicant. Indiscriminate und duplicate giving has almost, ceased because of the ease with which anyone may find the correct con dition and circumstances of any appli cant lor uiu. i:y prompt and kindly In vestigation followed, whero need Is found, by reference to tho proper Indi vidual or society; or,-whero urgency de mands, by immediate rcllot from the agent wo bellee that nil deserving cases of destitution aro now properly relieved. Tho vlitual opening of an employment otllco by the ngent through which a largo number of deserving men and wo men obtnln work is earryinc out as far as It seems posslblo at present the very deslrablo object of muking employment tho basis of assistance. Wo would most respectfully urgo upon all individuals nnd soclotle.i tho necessity of securing for those applying for nld somo work by which at least a partial return may bo mado bv them for whnt they receive. The constant visits of tho agent nnd of tho many kind hearted men and women giving their time to assist the needy lias a refining and clcvutlng effect upon thoto who hnve sunk Into degradation and filth through hopclctsr.css or Bin, but there Is great room In our city for systematic house to houao visiting in certain quarters by wise and sympathetic pooplo who un derstand how to givo advice nnd com fort without incurring dislike or raising opposition. In nn. thoo points the flvo years work of the association displays most marked sdvancn and nn approach to what Is de eirod which wo think Is truly reinarkaliNi even In associated charity organisations. R15SCUK W'OItK. And If we tako Into consideration what might be called tho co-ordinate- work which has been thrust upon our agent In satisfying tho disputes and dltllcultles of family life, tho rescue and preserva tion of young girls, the rare of many forlorn waifs In tho Emergency hospital, our Influence used against all forms of " -I1i.l r Pn in I BIO CROWD FROM BINOHAMTON It Will Attond tho Payne-Hurley Match Monday Night. Andy Osborne, the well-known sport ing man, of Illnghnmton, has written Manager Jack Skelly, statins: that fully two hundred people from Hlnghamton will he present at the Payne-llurley mntch next Monday night, while Sus quehanna, will also send a large dole gutlon of boys who follow Hurley to all Ills fights, In view of tho large crowd that Ip likely to attend, It be hooves Scrantonlans to secure thflr tickets In advance. They are on sale at Uoftus & Mclvln's drug store. The defeat of McCoy by Sharkey last night will not prevent the appearance of the former In this city. In fact, had McCov won. thf rintiinnri fnr blm would ---- ---- -....... .. , .., . Imvn been rh f-t-nn tliftf nnpflrntnnntn might have taken him elsewhere. A telegram received from Mr. Skelly last night stated that McCoy will attend tho Scranton show. THAT ELECTION CONTEST Thoro Is a Possibility That It May Closo with the Offering of Evi- denco in Rebuttal by the Respondent It Is Just possible, and, If court lends a hand, It Is highly probable, that tho election contest will close without a single new witness being called by the respondent, Treasurer M. J. Kelly. Mr. Kelly's attorneys aro confident that they can win by presenting simply rebuttal testimony. All they want is an opportunity to qualify such valid votes as stand Invalid at pres ent, by reason of some neglect of tho witness. A great many voters who aro In every way legal suffragists wero knocked out by reason of their failure to bring along their naturalization papers or tax receipts, or something of that sort. They have tho papers or other proofs of their right of the franchise and stand ready to qualify themselves. To give them the opportunity to do so Is what the respondent will ask. When tho 0X1811111? defects In the votes ex amined by the contestant aro remedied there will be no need, It Is claimed by the respondent's attorneys, to attack any Langstnff votes. Notice was given the respondent's attorneys by Mr. Holgate, of counsel for the contestant, that he would to duy make a motion to have the re spondents time limited to a period of equal length with that occupied by tho contestant. This will evoke from tho respond ent's attorneys a motion for an order granting them a reasonable time not to be subtracted from the time to which they aro rightly entitled in which they can make their effort to terminate tho case without crolng into nn examination of the 12,000 voters whom they have attacked in their bill of particulars. It will rest with the discretion of the court ns to whether or not this effort will be mado to save the county fully half the $75,000 costs which the contest threatens. The respondent has everything to gain nnd nothing to lose by n prolong ation of the contest. The rebuttal tes timony In question can, of course, be presented during the regular progress of the contest, without any special or der front court. Mr. Kelly has no doubts whatever as to his ultimata success, by either procedure. Ills at torneys are to bo paid In a lump sum and not so much per day, so It mat ters nothing to him on that score how long tho contest continues. His only motive Is that of pro bono publico. MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING. Michael Hoolah Says Ho Was Held Up by Two Men Who Shot Becnusa He Had No Money. Michael Hoolah, with a bullet some where in the region of his chest and a hole In his nock whero the mlssllo en tered, is lying In n critical condition at tho Moses Taylor hospital, but with tho chances for recovery In his favor. Hoolah's home Ib ut Dickson City lints. deeding and unconscious ho was found lying along the Delaware and Hudson trucks by two young men named Steeler and Judge Monday night about 7.30 o'clock. Near him lay a six shot, double action revolver, with every chamber but one empty, lie said two men held him up and when he said ho had no money one of them shot him. Hoolah on Saturday was paid $17 for work at the Storrs' mine, but he had paid several bills and given money to his wife nnd had only about $2.C0 on hli person when shot. At the Moses Taylor hospital, whero Hoolah was received yesterdaj- morn ing, It was slated that the bullet en tered the front of the neck, near the chest, but failed to cut the wlndplpo or the larger blood vessels. Where tho lead finally went to, the surgeons don't profess to sny. They cannot probe for u now ana mayno not at all. if Hoolah cannot help to determine Its location by sensation, or If it is where It cannot be removed, ho will have to trust to very rugged health and Immunity from blood-poisoning !n order to recover.

It Contemplates a Third Circuit Judge to Bo Located Somowhero in Jorsoy as a Relief for tho Ills Which Wo Claimed Warranted tho Crontlon of a Now Federal District in tho Central Bolt of Pennsyl vania, with Scranton ns Head quarters. Tho local boomers of the third fed eral Judicial district nro eorely per plexed over tho action of the mib committee of the house Judiciary com mittee In Ignoring the bill for the now district and reporting what Is feared will bo offered as a substitute measure, a bill creating a third circuit Judge. The Third district movement con templates an additional district Judgs for tho central belt of counties, With courts located nt Scranton, Harrlsburg and Wllllamsport, nnd headquarters In thl3 city. The purpose was to relieve tho congested Western district court; to save tho litigants nnd attorneys from the contemplated territory of the now district from tho expense and troublo of traveling to Pittsburg, nnd to save, also, tho vast expenso of railroad fare, for jurors, prisoners, court officers and attaches, over the wido territory, now embraced in this district. NEW DISTRICT NEEDED. The operations ot the new bankrupt cy bill mnkes the need of tho new dis trict almost Imperative, but In the face of this the congressional committee reports nn unasked for bill for n Third district Judge to have his headquar ters, presumably, in Newark or some other Jersey town within the limits of the district now cared for by Judge Ache-son, of Pittsburg, and Judgo Dal las, of Philadelphia. It may be that the bill for the now district has not been pigeon holed per manently but only that it Is kept In the background until the measure for tho new circuit Judge has bonn passed. There nro good grounds however for fearing the worst. When Jud-ro Archbald was in Wash ington last March ho met Congressman Parker, ot Newark, a member of the sub-Judiciary committee, who was ono of tho members who listened to the arguments of the new district boomer.! tho previous fall. WHAT PARKER SAID. Concressman Parker nld in .Tmlm Archbald, then, that the committee In tended to report a bill for an additional circuit Judge Instead of one for a new district Judge and a new district, us had been asked for. "It is Just tho thing you want," said the Jersey con gressman. Judge Archbald told him we wanted nothing of the kind and that the people of the proposed new dis trict couldn't be affected or In any way Interested In another circuit Judge who would likely be located down in New ark. Tho congressman tried to tell Judge Archbald, virtually, that the new dis trict boomers didn't know what they wanted and as this was something which tho Judge's dignity would not permit him to discuss he dropped the discussion. Congressman Connell lias been in formed of the condition of affairs and besought to look after the local meas ure. It Is evident that tlie Jm.ey con gressman has stolen the new district boomers' thunder and fashioned for his own bailiwick a nice appointive po sition for himself oi some other Jersey lawyer.
