Tho committee of nrrangements com
prised T. J.Williams, chairman; Howell
G. Itcese, Stephen Dwyer, D. M. Jones,
David II. Evans, Grllllth Jones and
John U, Jones.
At S.20 o'clock Chairman Williams,
of tho general committee, introduced
lieiijamin Hughes, general mine super
intendent of the Delaware, Lackawan
na, and Western company, who presid
ed over the meeting. Chairman Hughes
made a few remarks on the custom and
observance of the day, speaking In the
Welsh language.
Tho llrst number on the programme
was a soprano solo by Mrs. Frank
Prundage, who sang "The Holy City"
with remarkably line effect. Her ef
fort was thoroughly appreciated and
gieeted with rapturous applause.
The address of the evening was de
livered by Attorney Charles E. Daniels
on the 'Welsh-Americans of Today."
He referred to the land of our fore
fathers, their literature, poetry and
song, and paid u glowing tribute to
the faithfulness and devotion to coun
try of their descendants. Speaking
along the lines of the recent Spanish
American war, Attorney Daniels re
ferred to O. neral Miles as being a
Welshman who was proud of his an
cestry, and expressed the belief that If
thetu were more men like General
Miles In the iirnij, the regulars and
volunteers would be better off than
they are today, and would not have
been permitted to purtukn of "em
balmed beef" and other such Injurious
provisions.
Tho speakfr also referred to the ycr
vlce rendered by Hon. O. F. Williams,
formerly of this city, to Admiral Dewey
at Manila, and paid homage to the
boys of the Thirteenth regiment, many
of whom were the sons, brothers and
friends of many of his hearers. In '
closing he reterred to Wales as th ,
land of our uneonqurod forefathers and
recited a selection appropriate to the ,
occasion. j
Philip Warren and Joshua John sang
n duet "Call to Arms." which wus well
received, and Hugh A. Jones read an
original composition in Welsh, especial
ly written for the occasion. Mrs. D.
D. Jones, of North Scrantcn, sang a '
elsh solo, and was compelled to re
spond to an encore. Both renditions
were glen In a clear, strong soprano
voice.
"At the Sound of the Sunset Guns"
was sung by Philip Warren In his
usual style, and Joshua John also sang
n solo In Welsh, which was well re
ceived. Henry P. Davies made an address In
Welsh on "The Patron Saint of Wales."
He thought that .St. David had been
much abused by many who, Instead of
wrxFuwvj
W$m!mW
l S 1111
ra
LUi
taking Ihe spade of criticism and re
moving the sands of superstition, had
piled more nbuso upon him, and finally
concluded there was nothing under
neath it nil. St. David was a strong
Hcpubllcan in his principles, nnd de
fended religions nnd civil liberty: a
man who did not bend his knee to
any one but his God. He wns a scholar
and yet there Is no proof that ho jws
pessed uny supernatural power. Public
speakers are to bo blamed for repeat
ing old stories about tho lnlrrrles of
Ht. David. The speaker concluded with
tt few anecdotes which were heartily
enjoyed.
The exercises were brought to a
close by the rendition of a duct by Mrs.
Lewis and Joshua Johns and tho read
ing of the following poem written by
Mrs. George Powell (Morfudd).
SAINT DAVID.
Saint David, great, renowned, sublime,
Acknowledged thus by sonic hlstoilans
fair,
Tradition claims for him much grater
fame,
The church of Homo his miracle, declare.
So good was he, embellishment would bo
To decorate the Illy or tho rose.
To trull u thlck-lcavcd vine uround a trco
Whose, shade the treo would kill, tho
fruit enclose.
Some wrllerc say ho never did exist
Just so with Adam, while others claim
He wns a Druid myth, as Apollo.
Jupiter and Venus of Grecian famo
l
Lot all that has been said, be true or falso
His life wns an everlasting spring
Like the eternal fountain of western famo
The brightest, rarest llowers to view
would bring.
i
An earnest student, so the story gees,
For ten long yenia in a lonely cave
Ho studied well, tho wondious word of
God, '
His time and talent, all to him he gave.
Ills monasteries fifty-five In all,
Prove his emit lovo for thiiiKS both
good and grand:
In the lights for freedom of rellgous
thought
II conquered J'alagus and drove hint
from the laud.
Well might wo as a nation look with pride
Into the past, and theio behold u man
With character as pure as the falling
snow,
A character with which the Celtic raco
began.
All honor then to David, patron saint!
This Is the day the Welshmen cob Unite,
The emerald li ek, the emblem which they
wear
In memory keeps the worthy potentate.
Morfudd.
Mrs D. P. Thomas was the accom
panist of the evening and played with
characteristic ease and grace.
The celebration was the most success
ful ever held by the church, and dem
onstrates that each succeeding year
adds Interest to tho observance.
MAY GO HARD WITH SHORES.
The nrrest of Charles F. Shores last
week for assault and buttery, the
charge being preferred by his wife,
may yet result more seriously than
anticipated. Alderman Owen D. John
committed Shores to tho county lull
in default of ball and yesterday re
ceived the following letter from M. F.
Porter, a prominent lawyer In Greene,
N. Y which explains Itself:
Law Otllco of M. F. Forter.
Greene, X. Y., Feb. 27. 1SW.
Alderman John, West Scrnntou, I'a.
I understand you are, as one of tho of
ficers of the city of Scranton, Interested
In the arrest of Charles F. Shores. Kind
ly permit mo to say that for cullo a little
time his wife has complained of his In
human treatment of her, and If one-half
of the reports nro true, "inhuman" U a
mild word to use when speaking of his
treatment of her.
She Is now hero In tho village, and her
condition Is so dangerous that the doc
tors hnvo forbidden her being removed
to her father's some three miles distant,
nnd doubt is expressed ns to her recovery.
I think these facts should be taken into
consideration if ho makes application for
bail, mid I presume would have some In
tluence on the persons who might bo ap
plied to act as sureties.
Very respectfully,
(Signed) M. F. Porter.
The Item concerning the nssault al
leged to have been committed by
Shores nnd his arrest was published
In this department' nnout a week ago.
His wife .dated he tried to bite off her . gramme Is being prepared for the oe
thumb nnd struck her In the face, caslon, consisting of vocal and lustru
blackenlng her eyes and otherwise rual- mental selections and several speeches,

sault was commlttea ami the nbove ' The Ladies' Aid society of the Pres-
letter seems to Indicate that she may
die from tho effects of her alleged
treatment at the bunds of her husband.
Shores was admitted to bull yesterday
m the sum of jsuii. Alderman John
will lay the letter before the district
attorney today.
"WILL PETITION COUNCIL.
The residents of tho Fifteenth ward
who are complaining nbout the re
moval of the police telephone box fr'i.n
the corner of South Main nvenue ami
TIr.v...1.i otM W I.. ,1... i". .l.,...1.t.. l.n n
I:: n V;i .. ;;.. wS " " " , "
a petition today in tho Fifteenth ward
to be signed by all Interested nnd will
be thereafter presented to councils,
asking for tho return of the box and
telephone.
The argument nds'nnced Is that here
tofore tho patrolman on that post
would report at 11 p. m.. 1 and 3 a. m.,
and it was an easy matter to find an
olllcer It one was wanted. Now they
do not know whether tho patrolman,
so they stute, can bo foimd at those
hours or not.
Furthermore, they argue, since tno
box has been removed It Is necessary
to walls to Division street If assistance
Is required, and they claim the pro
tection is Insutllclent, The box was
removed on Saturday last and they
either want it returned or replaced by
another.
