INDUSTRIAL JOTTINGS.
The final step In the closing down
of the breaker at No. 1 colliery of tho
Delaware and Hudson company, at
Plymouth, was taken Saturday. Tho
company has been considering this
matter for sometime. The breaker Is
very old and would have to bo mate
rially altered In line with the other
changes mado this year at all collieries.
This would mean too big an expense,
so the breaker will be abandoned and
the coal mined at that colliery will bo
taken through a tunnel connection Into
No. 5 workings adjoining and run
through No. C breaker, which Is prac
tically modern. This means a great
saving for the company outside.
There will be one less breaker
to operate and keep In repair and
they will not have to use tho
Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company's tracks to run the coal
over to their own line. The break t
employes will lose their work here, but
it Intended to employ them elsewhere
as soon as posslblee. This breaker
has been In operation since 1S53 and
tho Delaware and Hudson company
has controlled It since the late sixties.
An innovation apparently of no mate
rial Interest, but which may bo but
a step to something else, was insti
tuted yesterday by the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western company.
Hereafter all conductors of coal and
freight trains will place and remove the
record charts used In each caboose to
note speed, mileage, etc. Also, the
conductor must file the record In the
office of General Superintendent Gar
rett Bogart. Heretofore, a man lo
cated at the head of the yard placed
and removed these charts on all trains
governed by the record.
The following speaks for Itself:
"To all t'mployes: Trip passes Is
sued to, or on account of, employes
of this company will not be good on
Sunday trains unless so endorsed,

SCHOOL BOARD LEVY
IS FOURTEEN MILLS
FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY.
Appropriation Mado for Increaso In
Teachers' Pay, But Those Who Aro
to Receive nn Advance Are Not Yet
Designated Deficit of $20,000
Provided for, but No Provision
Made for the Very Probable Cut In
tho State Appropriation.
The finance committee of the board
of control made Its report last night
nnd It was adopted without opposition.
It fixes the tax levy at fourteen mills,
the same figure as last year, and makes
an nllowance for an Increase In teach
ers' salary, but thoae who are to re
ccivo the advanco will not bo desig
nated until the assignment of teachers
Is mado In July.
The report takes It for granted that
tho state appropriation will be the
same as last year. It Is qulto possible
that such will not bo the case ns Gov
ernor Hastings hns stated that ho will
use the axe on the school appropria
tions and this action on his part Is
looked fot every day. Tho report In
full follows:
Scianton, Pa., May 1, ISM.
To tho PrcHldcnl and Mcmbcts of tho
Scranton Board of Control.
Gentlemen: Tho llnnnco committee beg
leave to submit tho following report of
the requirements of tho district for the
ensuing school jour, and their recom
mendations as to tho means of providing
for those requirements.
SINKING FUND.
At tho present time, the bonded Indebt
edness of tho district amounts to JlOO.wW.
Dut 43,000 of theso bondu nro In tho
hands of tho treasurer, 510,000 of the Issue
of llsSS having been purchnscd by direc
tion of the board and $35,000 of tho Issue
of 1S37 having been taken up with cash
In tho sinking fund, thus saving a con
siderable sum In tho way of interest.
Inasmuch ns theso bonds wero practic
ally redeemed. It roomed unnecessary to
mnko provision for them In tho annual
levy.
The solicitor of tho board was consulted
on tho subject and his opinion confirips
this view of tho committee. Ho advises
that tho $10,000 purchased bo cancelled
and that tho ?33,000 bo retained as here
tofore In the sinking fund; but that tho
lovy on tho entlro amount of $13,000 can bo
legally discontinued, thus placing to the
credit of the geneial school account
$3,000, which last year wont Into tho
sinking fund account. The law requires
that a. sum eaual to 8 per cent, of tho
outstanding bonded indebtedness shall
be raised unnually by taxation for sink
ing fund purposes, tho same to bo used
for tho payment of tho Interest on the
bonds nnd to provide for their redemp
tion. Eight per cent, of $33,000 equals
$2S,400. The committee theroforo recom
mends a levy of 1.3 mills for sinking fund
purposes on tho estimated valuation of
$22,500,000, which, after allowing for ex
onerations and collections, will produce
tho sum required.
BUILDING ACCOUNT.
For building purposes for tho coming
ye.ir, tho building commltteo have placed
beforo us nn estimate of $73,OM. This Is
un Increase of about $2,500 over tho wn
granted last year. Tho committee has
decided to recommend that this appro
priation bo made, tho money to bo pro
vided ns follows: A lovy nf 2 mills en
tho estimated valuation of $22,f00,000, af
ter allowing for exonerations and collec
tions, will yield $13,500.
After paying off all building contiacts
now in foicc. balances duo on lots in the
Fourth, Eighth and Twentieth wards, as
ordered by tho board nt tho last meet
ing, and making payments on new tiles
purchased In tho First, Tenth nnd
Twenty-first wards, it Is estimated that
there will bo a balance In tho building
account of $32,000, which added to the
amount raised by taxation, will provide
fcr building purposes tho sum of $r,iw9
for the year commencing July 1, 1S09.
GKNERAL SCHOOL ACCOUNT.
Wo have carefully examined and con
sidered tho estimates placed before us
by the vaiious nommlttecj of the board
und compared them with tho expendi
tures charged against the respective ap
propriations for the pr st two years and
have been unable to ceo w!iro any ma
terial reduction could be made.
Tho amount appropriated for teachers'
salaries last year was $133,000. That. thW
was Inadequate is shown from the fact
that there will be a deficit In this account
of about $0,000 ut tho end of tho year.
So that tho appropriation for tho next
year as recommended by your commlt
teo is about $14,000 inoro than tho ex
penditures for this purpose for the cur
rent year. Tho teachers' commltteo has
asked for this increaso to provide for tho
several purposes of the natural increase
of salaries on account of length of ser
vices, for new teachers required by in
creased attendance In the schools of tho
district, and for raising tho salaries of
certain classes of teachers that the
teachers' commltteo believe are too low
and which will bo recommended with tho
annuiil appointments in July.
Wo have mado a reduction of $2,000, from
$21,000 to $13,000, for tho payment of Jan
Itois' salaries, as this latter sum appears
to bn ample for tho purpose; also a re
duction of $200 fur tho delivery of sup
plies. The other estimates have been
left as reported by tho committee. They
are moderate and will be needed to meet
various expenditures. We therefore rec
ommend tho following appropriation
which, under tho law, aro all chargeable
to tho general school account:
THE APPHOPUIATIONS.
High school expenses $ 30,53 (j0
Teaeheia' salaries 155,000 00

Text books 1I,00 00

Total $2S0,913 00
It Is estimated that there will be a de
ficit of $20,000 In tho general school ne
count at the end of the present year.
This must bo provided for In tho revenues
of tho next year and may therefore bo
fulrly considered ns part or next year's
expenditures. This added to the total
amount of tho appropriations makes a
grand total of $300,915 ns tho estimated
amount required for general school pur
poses, A lew of 10.7 mills on tho estimated
valuation of JJ2.S00, nfter deducting 3 per
cent, for exonerations nnd collections,
will yield tho sum of $233,527.50. Adding
to this the samo stnte appropriation as
wns received last year, viz., 173,373.SS, wo
have an estimated revenue of $306,901.38,
which Is $3,380.38 moro than tho esti
mated requirements.
Wo consider this fortunate, however,
ns tho experience of each year bus shown
that tliera nro always some unexpected
nnd unforseen expenses which cause a
deficit when tho revenuo is only equal
to tho anticipated requirements.
DIVISION OF LEVY.
Tho 1.3 mills for the sinking fund, tho
2 mills for the building account and 10.7
mills for tho general school account
mako a total of 14 mills, the samo as
last year. Your committee would there
fore recommend that said levy of It mills
bo mado for the ensuing school yenr and
that tho distribution and appropriations
ns hereinbefore set forth be adopted by
the board.
This levy of It mills on tho nsscsscd
valuation of $22,500,000 will produce, nfter
allowing for exonerations nnd collections,
the sum of $205,550. Adding to this tho
state appropriation of $73,373.8$ and the
estimated balance In the building ac
count of $32,000, wo havo a total esti
mated resource of tho year amounting
to $410,923.SS to meet tho estimated ex
penditures, Including tho estimated de
ficit of $20,000 In tho geneial school ac
count, of $101,503.
Messrs. Leonard, O'Mnlley and Jayne
were appointed a special committee to
consider the question of kindergartens,
Mr. Leonard making the suggestion.
Tho applications of Brtha Kelly,
T.ulu Knapp and Angle Reese for nor
mal school diplomas were approved.
A letter was received from Principal
J. M. Beaumont, of No. S school, stat
ing that Miss Rankin, a teacher In
that building who was sick sixty-six
days, asked to have tho board allow
her full pny for the time she was in
capacitated on the ground that her Ill
ness, according to tho physician, was
due to the coal gas that escaped from
the stove with which tho school room
Is heated.
Tho matter was referred to tho
teachers' committee.
Chairman Davis offered tho vacancy
on tho finance committee to Mr. Leon
ard, but ho declined it with thanks.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION.
Read by Rev. W. U. Watktns at
the Service in tho North Main
Avenue Baptist Church.
Following is the letter of resignation
of Rev. W. U-. Wutklns, of tho North
Main Avenue Baptist church, read by
him to tho congregation Sunday even
ing: To tho North Main Avenue Baptist
Church.
Beloved Brethren: After a pleasant
and I trust, ptofltablu lulatlonshlp as
pastor and people, extending over a pe
riod of neaily teven years, 1 havo ar
rived at tho conclusion that my useful
ness as your pastor has reached its limit.
I therefore, hereby tender my resigna
tion, the sunie to tako efiect with tha
Inst Sunday In June of this year.
I might hae deferred this for Home
time, but 1 do not wish thu church to
undcrtuko any project buch as building
on my account; nor do I wish to lead the
church In such an undertaking without
a reasonablo probability of my remain
ing hero to carry it to its completion.
It Is better, therefore, for mo to resign
before hucIi an Important measure is
commenced than to wait until it has been
started and then leave you In thu midst
or It.
With tho advent of a new pastor will
come aUu new enthusiasm which will
cnublo ou easily to realize your cher
ished hope. In short you go forward.
You havo everything to encourage you.
As you stand today, you need about $12,
000 to put you In possession of ono of tho
neatest and most commodious hom-es of
worship In this end of the city. This
seems a considerable sum. But let me
remind you that one member alone
htands pledged for nearly one-half of
this umount, or, to be exact, $3,500. If
there Is an j thing which should 1111 this
church with a sense of appreciation and
gratitudo It Is the fact that It has la
Its membership u friend so staunch who
In proportion to his means gives toward
its support moro largely than tho much
lauded millionaires contributes towards
their various benevolences.
This Is farthest fiom a reflection upon
others, for besides him, thero are indued
la our fellowship other royal bonis who
would grace any church, though lluy
may not bo so capable financially. But
I havo singled out my unfailing friend
nnd brother, William Chappell, simply to
show that tho church can bear what may
appear to bo a heavy burden when one
out of about 300 assumes halt of It him
self. If tho remainder of the membership
will not pleilgo and tecurp the other half
of this amount tho church will not de
tervo much help or sympathy fiom the
community,
Ilejolclng In tho peace and harmony
which always characterised our union,
and thanking God fetvently for HIj
smiles nnd blessings, which havo ever
been upon us, I pray that His favor may
bo manifested toward you still moro
abundantly In all tho future, "And the
peace of God, which passeth all under
standing, shall keep your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus" (Phil, Iv, 7).
Affectionately your pastor.

The graduating exercises of trained

ed, and the diplomas wero presented by
Dr. Kay. The address of tho evening

ven, of Maryland; Nellie Early, of
Green Ridge; Gertrude Moloney, of
Dunmore; Oertrudo Smith, of Sterling;
Carrie Creasy, of Bloomsburg, and
Catherine Gullfoylo, of Barrle, Ont.
Dr. Charles E. Thomson made the ad
dress to tho graduates. He spoke In
part as follows:
"Respected brothers of the staff and
profession, Invited gentlemen nnd lad
les, graduates of tho training school
of the Scranton Prlvato hospital:
Having successfully completed the pro
scribed course of tho school, and hav
ing been declared capable and profi
cient to begin the full responsibilities
of the vocation to which you have de
voted talents and dedicated your future
efforts, you stand yet upon tho thres
hold of tho abode of that science to
which your labors lend auxiliary force.
" 'None but tbo bravest deserve tho
fair;' none but the earnest, stout
hearted and faithful deserve or can
secure tho rewards of medical labors,
for their rewards aro the outbursts of
warm hearts, passionate, thankful, lov
ing and grateful, whether they give
life to noble or depraved belngf, i'nd
they are tho revcrenco and esteem of
a largo profession, which welcomes
with recognition rather than rejects
tho successes nnd discoveries of Its
brethren.
THE ONLY METHOD.
"Discipline and constant attention to
details Is the only method of Instruc
tion considered valuable In the educa
tional world. It Is also tho only means
of regulating harmoniously the af
fairs of private and public institu
tions from whatever standpoint tho
matter may bo viewed. You havo
been obliged to undergo many embar
rassments and to suffer many, many
disagreeable occasions to pass without
any compensating, self-satisfactory cr
deserving redress. And all for what
purpose?
Today you receive, In some slight
measuro It may seem perhaps to some
of you, a return for your disappoint
ments, because you becomo today 'a
trained nurse,' with a mission in the
world, with capacity for your work,
with disciplined faculties for future
self-advancement. Your diploma, as
every diploma which shall lssuo from
this Institution under Its present di
rectorate, shall mean In addition o the
words Inscribed upon It, that you have
a testimonial to tbo satisfactory com
pletion In our midst of a two years'
course marked by honor, fidelity to
duty, application to appointed and as
signed works, and a conscientious dis
charge of the many incidental and im
plied obligations Imposed upon you.
"As graduates of this school, you are
prepared to enter, when called, the
dwellings of the wealthy, the homes
of the poor, the hospitals of tho city
and tho camps of war. The trained
nurse entering the private family Is
like a modern man of war 'orclng its
entrance irresistibly Into a fort strong
ly fortified and garrisoned.
FIXED PRINCIPLES.
"No locality, no time, no occasion,
no circumstance of rac creed or con
dition should ever chnga the fixed.
Immovable and permanent principles
which should dominate In your pro
fessional character. If you do, your
career, as sure as black is black and
not white, will be Insignificant, ob
scure and, above nil, of trilling satis
faction to yourself. These principle?,
broadly stated, of which I sr.eait, ap
pear to be: First, implicit obedience
to the Instructions of tlnj physician
In charge, whether tJ you th Issue
appears fraught with disaster, as to
the best Interest of the patient. Sec
ond, conscientious treatment of the
patient, combined with all tho charlt,
natural lovo of humanity, or precept of
church prompt and urge you to give.
Third, desire to Improve your record
by continual observation of tho cases
which fall under your care, enabling
you to give, careful, successful and
reputation-bringing attention to future
similar cases.
"If noblo Impulse stirs your heart,
every day can be employed In doing
good nnd tho lecord of unselfish deeds
can shed with every passing hour an
increased lustre."
After tho graduation exercises tho
doctors, nurses and guests wore served
with luncheon, and a peilod of daning
followed.
