Funeral Services Will Take Place
Tomorrow Afternoon.
William A. Connell, eon of Congress
man and Mrs. William Connell, died
yesterday morning at an early hour
from an acute attack of pneumonia,
which developed suddenly from a se
vere cold taken during a gunning ex
pedition. He was seized with Illness
while at Stroudsburg, from which place
he was brought to this city. The alarm
ing nature of the attack was evident
on Sunday, slnco when he was con
scious but a brief part of tho time.
All efforts to check the rapid advance
of the disease were futile and, sur
rounded by his family and closest rela
tives, death put an end to the struggle
with the fearful malady.
Ir. Connell was thirty-nine years old.
and was born In Minooka, bis parents
temovlng to their present place of resi
dence on Vine street when he was but
a little lad. From childhood he was a
favorite with fi lends and companions
for his many lovable qualities and ex
ceptionally sunny and gentle tempera
ment. Few men have been equipped
with a brighter intellect or a more
genial natuie.
He is survived by his wife and a son
of eight years, his father and mother
nnd by two sisters, Mrs. J. S. Mc
Anulty Mrs. C. W. Fulton, and five
brothers, James L., Charles It.. Alfre-1
E., Theodore E. nnd Ezra II. Connell.
The funeral services will take place
tomorrow afternoon from bis late resi
dence on Vine street, when Hev. Dr. C.
M. Olffln, of Elm Park church, assisted
by Rev. Dr. W. II. Pearce, of Wllkes
Barre, will officiate.

In a very able manner Mrs. M. H.
Holgate reviewed the work done by
the hospital during tho year. Tho re
port is of such geneial interest that
it will be printed In tomorrow's Trib
une. DIRECTORS ELECTED.
Directors were elected as follows for
three years: Mrs. C. H. Welles. MI.33
Emellne K. Richmond, Mrs. L. S. Oak
ford, Mrs. M. H. Holgate, Mrs. Thomas
E. Jones.
Colonel H. M. Doles then spoke of
the fact that the hospital had mot a
want and so offered the hope that
some time a union of all tho hospitals
of the city might be effected when uni
ted effort In the different departments
would concentrate means, enerirloa nml
devotion to better results than have
yet been achieved. Ho followed with
an excellent address to the nurses, In
part of which he said:
The duties, tho ofllce, I may almost
say the profession of the trained nuit,o
In these days of maivclous scientific re
search, discovery and invention in both
therapeutics and surgery have become
us Important and essential very nearly, to
tho successful treatment of human ail
ments as tho knowledge, skill and genius
of thu doctor and surgeon. They indeed
order and conduct tho warfare against
disease, they plan the campaign against
sepsis and tho insidious bacillus and mi
crobe, they perform tho operations which
aro necessary to remove the obstacles
from the road to recovery, but as the
general relies upon his subordinates, hh
troops to achieve his triumphs over his
enemies, fo they depend upon thu Intel
ligence, assiduity, vigilance and patlcnco
of tho nurso under whoso watchful eye
their patients aro left, to secure a suc
cessful conduct of their compaigns.
In most cases of tho well understood
diseases which affect mankind, I think I
may safely say, that tho physician de
pends quite as much upon tho careful
nurse as 1 pon his medicines for cure; In
some cases entirely vpon her. In surgery
nfter the rperatlon tho patient Is left
almost entirely In chaigo of the nurse.
It is upon her the doctor relies to carry
out Ms directions correctly, to watch
and note the first sjmpton of chango In
conditions, to record temperature ind
every incident In the pi ogress of tho pa
tient which may afford useful informa
tion for tho treatment of the case. She
has become to a very large extent his
right aim and his eye, without her ho
will not willingly undertake any serious
case.
THE TRAINED NURSE.
Tho profession of tho trained nurso
for It Is entitled to be called a profes
sion now when Its ranks may bo en
tered only by means of a diploma certify
lug from a crmrt-tent fi.culty tho quali
fications of tho holder has becomo one
of dignity and honor, and It is recog.
nlzed as ono of dlgntty and honor by tno
met leal and surgical profession aa weh
as the people In general. Tho wholo sys
tern of public hospitals depends upon It.
These great and noble charities would be
Impossible upon their present scale of
usefulness without this body of trained
nurses. In Germany a fivo years course
In a training school Is required before
the nurso can receive a place In a hos
pital, but In this country it Is custo
mary to train the student In the hos
pital In the actual care of patients un
der the constant supervision of tho doc
tors and superintendents. It Is not only
a profession of dignity and honor, but of
higher and more attractive and lovely
qualities than these, It is a, profession of
charity, mercy and that love, which is
the chief duty of nun to man, ana to
Cod, and which Is Divine. Tho Creator
has endowed woman with especial facul
ties for tho exercise of those qualities.
How grateful to the pain-racked patient
are her quiet and gentle ministrations
during the night watches, how tender tho
soothing touch of her hand, how prescient
her anticipation of every want how vig
ilant and lovely her care. The trained
nurse enters tho most sacred circles of
domestic llfo. She Is permitted to wit
ness and sympathize In tho anxieties and
grlofs, perhaps, of husbands and wives,
of parents and children, of brothers and
sisters. She la present in the supreme
moments of birth and death, and shares
with the spiritual and professional at
tendant the sublime confidences of those
sacred hours, so Is the way opened for
her Into our affection and hearts. Her
faithfulness wins far her the higher need
of love, which Is Influence and power,
and Involves an Increased responsibility
for Its faithful exercise. The life of tho
trained nur3o may bo doubled In efllcleiicy
by her training and her opportunity, I
havo Bald thus much of this profession,
but the chief satisfaction which comes
to Its members must after all bo de
rived from tho ability to relievo suKorliiff
and savo llfo perhaps, In sudden emer
gencies. Whether tho Individual con
tinues In tho practice of her profession
or not, wo nil know that often In the
course of our lives wo aro called to help
others or ourselves out of dire straits.
Happy is she who by a timely Intelli
gent attention averts serious disease, or
tho skillful binding of a wound saves the
llfo of her loved one. How cheap then,
with all the toll and tho study, tho sleep
less nights and the disgusting servlco
seem by which this knowledge lias been
acquired.
DIPLOMAS PR12SENTED.
At tho conclusion of his remarks he
presented diplomas to Miss Anna
Pierce Wright and Miss Benjamin, tho
two graduates, together with a beauti
ful pin with tho motto, "Be thou faith
ful." These were followed by a de
luge of flowers Including bouquets from
patients of the hospital and friends
and two magnificent baskets of roses
from the president, Mrs. H. M. Boles.
The exercises were then concluded and
tho Invited guests proceeded to the re
ception at tho home of Mr. and Mrs.
T. H. Watkln.
PILLSBURY THE EXPERT.
Played Checkers and Chess at Y. M.
C. A. Rooms Yesterday After
noon and Evening.
Harry N. Plllsbury, tho champion
chess player of the United States, was
in 1 town yesterday and gave exhibi
tions of his skill at tho Young Men's
Christian association rooms in the af
ternoon nnd evening.
Mr. Plllsbury was brought tn this
city by a number of enthusiastic local
chess players, Including Prof, Frlede
wald and Schlmpff, of the High school,
both of whom arc clever players. Mr.
Plllsbury Is making a tour of the coun
try under his own management nnd
will play this afternoon at Seneca
Falls, N. Y., Thursday at Syracuse,
and Friday and Saturday at Boston.
He Is a young man of twenty-seven,
'out has been playing chess the last
ten years. In 1S0G ho played Showal
tr, who held tho championship of the
Unlt'd States up to that time, and de
feated him, thus gaining the title. He
Is a candidate for the world's cham
pionship, which is held by Lasker, and
will play him at Paris In 1900, when
he will enter the groat tournament for
chess players from all over the world
In May and June.
Yesterday afternoon he played what
Is known as a "blindfold match," play
ing live games of chess and three of
checks at the same time with his back
to the players. They, of course, would
announce their plays, but he never once
saw the boards. They began the
game about 3.15 and at C o'clo.-k every
checker-player was beaten and all of
the chess players conquered except
Prof. Friedewald.
Q Tho game was then called off be
tween the two with the result a tic.
Plllsbury Is the only man In th coun
try who plays a double g.im? of cnesa
and checkers, and he can alio plaj a
triple game by adding whist.
In the evening ho plivo.l twelvs
games, three of checkers nnd nln' of
chess with very successful result1;.
Among his opponents during the day
and evening were tho best local ches
nnd checker players In the city, who
thronged to the rooms, attracted by
Plllsbury's fame. As before mentioned,
Plllsbury is a young man and un
doubtedly has a wonderful future be
fore him In the chess arena. He
played his first games In Brooklyn,
where he was the champion checker
player of a young men's club.
There Is a general Idea, also, that he
Is the person who manipulated tho
famous "Iron man" In the Eden Mu
see. Thl3 wonderful piece of mechan
ism, as is known, was in thp Musee toe
many years and played checkers with
all comers, never being defeated.
Plllsbury Is undoubtedly a great
player and made a huge Impression
on all who saw him manipulating the
chess men and checkers. Tho only
defeat he suffered took place In tho
evening and was Inflicted by F. K.
Welch, of Jermyn, at chess.
Nexl Tuesday evening a meeting will
be held at the Young Men's Christian
associations rooms for the purpose of
organizing a chess nnd checker club.
All local players are Invited to attend.
(James will be arranged with teams
from Wllkes-Barre and Tunkhannock,
and It Is expected that great Interest
will be taken In the movement.
A ?25,000,000 Deal at Niagara

comprising the greatest combination
of wealth In the United States havo

Niagara Falls, also the rallroadi from
the Falls to Buffalo, including the city
of Buffalo, lyickport, Tonowanda, and
Ontario. This deal Includes the two
suspension bridges ncross tho Niagara
river at the Falls. This movement Is
a significant evidence of the confidence
that such men have In the future of
what will be one of tho greatest manu
facturing cities In the world Niagara
Falls, on account of the greatest power
station In the world.

conducted by Rev. Thomas do Oruchy,
nfter which Rev. J. S. Arthur, of Pitts
ton, delivered nn address on "A Big
Bonfire of Books." This big bonnre,
the sneaker said, was what ho would
greatly like to sec, namely, tho burn
ing of 95 per cent, of the literature of
the present day which Is characteris
tically bad. He eloquently urged tho
Introduction Into the home of pure, re
fining literature and mentioned a num
ber of books which should bo In every
library.
Music was then rendered by the
'church choir, after which Rev. Philip
I. Jones, of (Philadelphia, book editor of
the society, spoke on "The Making of

hands, and the enormous amount of
detail work required.

The afternoon session was presided
over by Dr. B. O. Beddoe and tho pro
gramme commenced with prayer by
Rev. James Hughes. The first speaker

Rev. Mr. McGee outllnpd thp various
features of the work under the control
of the publication society, dwelling es
pecially upon tho colporteurs, gospel
wagons and chapel cars and their
equipments of missionaries and relig
ious literature. He showed how these
features of the society's work supple
mented tho work of the regular Bap
tist clergymen nnd In many cases In
troducing the gospel Into districts
which do not enjoy the benefits of the
usual church services
After a solo by Mrs. R. F. Y. Pierce
Dr. O. F. Fllppo, D. D., of Phlladel-
phla, the district secretary of the socl-
ety, spoke on "The Book Our BiiiiA

sending out over 300,000 copies during
the past year. He exhibited neatly
bound specimens of the Bible published
by tho society and retailing at the
ridiculously low figure of twenty cents
a copy. He also showed copies of the
New Testament retailing at five cents
each.
Mrs. Pierce sang another solo, after
which brief and Interesting book re
views were given by Rev. J. R, Ellis,
Rev, W. J. Ford, Rev. F. S. Matthews
and Rev. J. L. Williams, all of this city.
CONCLUDING SESSION
Luther Kellar presided at the con
cluding session of the conference held

which was rendered by the choir in a
beautiful manner. The Irst speaker of
the evening was Rev. C R. Blackall,
D. D of Philadelphia, editor of the
Sunday school periodicals of the soci
ety. He Is probably one of the best
known Sunday school workers In the
vorld, having devoted thirty-five years
of his life to the work. He spoke on
"The Making of Our Periodicals."
In opening his remarks ho said that
the printed page has come to be ono
of tho greatest foctors of modern civ
ilization and n broad and serious rrob
lorn confronts every editor intrusted
with the work ofj editing literature for
the children.
He then gave an exceedingly Inter
esting description of tho manner in
which the Baptist Sunday tchool lesi
son helps are prepared nnd the great
and exceptional caie taken to see that
no error of any kind creeps In, the
proofs being always read seven times
uy seven dirterent persons. He men-

ciety. DR. SEYMOUR'S TALK.
Dr. Blackall was followed by John
Roberts.' who gave n larltone solo In
splendid voice. Dr. R. O. Seymour, of
Philadelphia then delivered the clos
ing nnd perhaps the most helpful ad
dress of tho conference, taking ns his
subject, "Personal Work In Missions."
In beginning his remarks he patd a
compliment to Rev. Mr. Pierce, tho
pastor of the church, fr.r tho great ex
cellence of tho programme prepared by
him for tho children's day exercises In
nil tho Bantlst churches of the country
and Ffcld that Mr. Pierce had been en
gaged to again prepare the programme
for next year.
The speaker said that wo are facing
a new era and new times and that no
matter whether we are expansionists
or untl-expanslonlsts that we've now
got expansion, the Philippines are ours
and the quepstlon for the consecrated
man with the book Is, "What Is going
to bo the salvation of thesa now pen
pies." The doctor then told of tho neces
sity of house to house work by Chris
tians If Christianity Is to be made tho
religion of all. He emphasized the fact
that a house-going minister makes a
church-golr.g people.
Not only the minister but all truo
Christians, said he. should go out In

BAUER'S BAND CONCERT.
Fine Programme Well Rendered at
the Lyceum Last Night.
Bauer's band should feel highly com
plimented nt the size and representa
tive character of the audience which
assembled at the Lycqum last night to
hear lta annual concert, and tho audi
ence should bo, nnd undoubtedly was,
highly gratified at the excellent show
ing which was made by our premier
local musical organization. It wns the
general concensus of opinion that the
band never played better. It Is certain
It did Itself nnd the city proud. The
programme was well balanced and en
joyable throughout.
Every number on the programme
was encored, and two of the encote
numbers wero enthusiastically re-encored.
Tho regular numbers of the first
part Included thr overture "Pique
Dame," bv Ruppe; scenes from Doni
zetti's "T j, la ( Lammermoor" and
Most'- ,vskl's "Aus Aller llomen Dan
dern," a cYillcctlnn of characteristic
compositions of the German, Russian
nnd Spanish schools.
The pretty and populir classic. "Will
lam Tell," was the opening number of
tho second part. A valse caprice,
"Budding Roses," by Kretschner, was
one of the sweetest numbers of the
evening. The closing number was a
descriptive piece, labeled "Village Life
in the Olden Times," Introducing crow
ing cocks, clanging of anvils, curfew
bells nnd a lot of other features.
The encores Included "Listen to the
Bind," from "The Runaway Girl;"
Victor Herbert's "Serennde March;"
Sousa'a "Stars and Stripes" and Its re
arrangement, "Tho Paris Exposition
March."
The lateral features of the pro
gramme were bv no means the least
Interesting. Miss Susan Black, the
sweet soprano of the Second Presby
terian church, delighted the audience
with two numbers, "Le Prlntempts."
by Tito Mattel, and "Sweetheart, Sigh
No More." by F. Lynes. In each In
stance the audience demanded more,
and for encores she rendered the pretty
love song, "Do You Love Me?" and "I
Will Not Tell."
Prof. Tom Miles, corneter, also rend
ered two numbers In his usual excel-

A BAD IUJNAWAY.
Casey Brothers nnd Hugh J. Kee
nan's Vehicles Injured.
About 12 o'clock yesterday morning
a bad runaway occurred on Franklin

to Casey Brothers, the Lackawanna

The vehicle Is used by their traveling
man, Frank McDonald, who at the time
was not in the carriage, being In his
home. A tenm of horses belonging to
an out-of-town farmer, John Cobb,
were standing nearby. Their driver
was feeding them nnd they had their

boys, who by their actions caused the
horses to run away.
