i
Reproduction to Be Given nt St.
Thomas College Hall Next Week.
St. Thomas college hall Is to bo tho
field for the first presentation of tho
original .Passion Play motion pictures,
commencing Monday, Dec. 11, nnd con
tinuing for three nights, Including
Tuesday and Wednesday,
The most noblo and certainty the
most notable use to whloh that mar
velous Invention, the cinematograph,
has yet been put Is shown by a series
of living tableaux, reproductive of tho
vital scenes o'f the Austria Passion
Play, as given at Horltz by the peas
ants of the Bohemian forest.
The exhibition, aside from the strong
Scriptural appeal, Is n triumphant ex
hibition of the scale of magnitude upon
which the cinematograph may be
worked, and the fidelity of its mechan
ism. There are, to bo sure, occasional,
yet rarely occurring, blurs and the cus
tomary snow-storm effect of flickering
lights and shades, but there Is nothing
In these to mar the supreme enjoyment
of tho pictures of this grand Christian
tragedy In such pictures as the
"Mnnna In the wilderness" (among the
Old Testament prelude scenes), of
"Christ blessing the little children," of
"Christ's entry Into Jerusnlem," of
"Judas receiving the thirty nieces of
sliver," of "Christ before Cnlaphas"
and "Christ before Pilot," there Is con
veyed a powerful sense of multitude.
FOR TIN PLATE FACTORY
Subscription Books Opened Yester
day by L. K. Torbet, of Chicago,
in Board of Trade Rooms.
The subscription books for the new
tin plats company, which Is being or
ganized by L. K. Torbet, of Chicago,
were formally opened yesterday morn
ing In tho board of ttado rooms. It
was stated In tho afternoon by Mr.
Torbet that tho subscriptions received!
so far made tho. outlook appear more
favorable than at any tlmo so far.
The imantyfactu(rer's commHtttee of
the West Scranton board of trade has
taken the matter up nnd Is actively
engaged in cnnvasslng among West
Scranton people for stock subscrip
tions. Three or four other subscrip
tion lists have been placed In the
hands of other parties, who will also
solicit subscriptions.
Mr. Torbet stated yesterday that
there was hardly nny doubt but that
the required $250,000 could easily be
obtained In two weeks' time from a
few, but that to give the West Scran
ton people a chance to contribute they
would be given tho whole month of
December to do so in, and several of
the large would-be subscribers would
be held oft for a time.
A brief circular letter accompanies
each subscription list, In which data
concerning the proposed factory Is
given. In this It Is stated that the
factory will employ about 400 hands,
to whom will bo paid out approx
imately $200,000 a year In wages.
The yearly output. It Is estimated,
w 111 bo about 200,000 boxes of tin plate
whloh, nt the present market price
of $1 61 a box, would moke a early
profit of about $n0,000 worth of tin
plate. The demand for tin plate In
this country greatly exceeded tho sup
ply, showing the necessity of estab
lishing new plants.

AN ALL-COUNTY
FOOT BALL ELEVEN
THE WAY ONE ENTHUSIAST
WOULD MAKE IT UP.
After Considering the Merits of tho
Local Players Ho Would Select
Vaughan, Kelllher, John Horan,
Malta, Langan, Shultz, Eorbes,
Tropp, DeBow, Ollendyko and W.
O'Horo as the Men Who Would'
Mnke the Strongest Team Mem
bers of tho Second Team.
Here Is what a foot ball enthusiast
says about a theoretical all-county
team:
Foot ball for the season of 1S99 is
practically at an end and the task of
selecting an nil-county team from tho
players seen on tho local gridiron this
year may be taken up.
The work of arranging such an eleven
this yeur is very dllllcult, not from
paucity of material, but rather on ac
count of the over abundance of excel
lent players, whose names appear on
the yeai's football roster.
First let us consider Just about where
the teams stand. We have to choose
from, tho High School, Lackawanna,
St. Thomas, Carbondale Indians anj
Dunmore High School.
High School played a consistently
good game, being only defeated by
Bingbamton and Wllllamsport and
ploying n tie game with the latter.
There was also an exceedingly doubt
ful game played with the School of the
Lackawanna, but as the referee award
ed tho game to High School, the con
test goes down to history as a victory
ior tno gold ana blue.
Lackawanna trounced the Indians,
who both defeated and were defeated
by St. Thomas. The lnttpr nlpvnn nun
also conquered by High School. Dun-
more nas no claims to the champion
ship, tho High School defeating the
borough's renresentntlvpa liv n mnrn rf
22-0, and thoroughly quashing all as
pirations ror the leadership.
A NEGATIVE HT.COnP.
Lackawanna had what might well be
called a negative record. She only
played five or six games, and two of
them against Wyoming Seminary were
ties. The High School game, at best,
might have resulted as a tie, but that
game can never be settled, as the Lack
awanna men left tho field nnd so for
feited the contest. Therefore, High
School deserves the championship.
Now, as to picking the representa
tive team. In beginning nt center, we
have Eynon of High School, McDon
nell of Lackawanna and Cosgrove ot
St. Thomas to choose from. We do not
think that anv one of these men Is ns
able to take the place as Jack Malla,
who played left guard for High School
last year. Although he was stationed
In that position, he Is properly a center
and in 1S17 was chosen for that posi
tion on the all-county eleen. He snaps
the ball back in a sure, swift manner,
Is fierce on the offense and a strong,
hard player for the position.
For the guards we would choose Lan
gan of St. Thomas nnd Horan of the
High School. Both of these men arc
hard llne-buckers and strong on th
defence. Langan played the same hard
game against all opponents ard,
whether It was the Villa Novn Hop nr
that of the Carbondale Indians that he
was to break through, he almost In
variably succeeded. Horan plajed a
steady, fast game all season, and In
the Lackawanna game made one hand
some long run which materially assist
ed in the scoring of High School's
touchdown.
RIGHT AND LErT TACKLE.
For tho tackle positions there Is con
siderable difficulty in choosing How
ever, Kelllher of St. Thomas is entitled
to a place by reason of his clever an 1
aggressive work during the season, and
so would be the man to occupy the one
position. For the other tackle the
choice lies between Shultz of the High
School and Vail of Lackawanna. Both
men are industrious, hard-working
players, and It is a difllcult task to de
cide which to assign to tho position.
The gieat difficulty with all the Lacka
wanna players, however, is that they
were not often enough upon a Scian
ton field for a fair estimate to be made
of their playing. They were only seen
here when they played High School an J
Wjomlng Seminary, nnd from these
two games a fair estimate can hardly
bo made.
Vail certainly played a good game,
but still Shultz nroved himself on ex
ceedingly wiry and spirited player and
his aggressiveness throughout the sea
son gles him a place upon the team.
Tor tho end positions plenty of
available material Is In the field, in
the shape of Vaughan, of tho High
School; Mnnley, of St Thomas,
Forbes, of Lackawanna and St. Thom
as, Walters, of Lackawanna, and Mc
Hugh, of the High School Of this
number Mcllugh Is probably tha
sw-.ftes.t, and when given tho ball
nearly always made long runs with it,
but a sore arm impaired his defensive
tactics, and In this respect he was not
nearly a match for his mate. Harry
Vaugnan, who Invariably nailed his
man, tackled low and hard, nnd broke
up Interference in line style. He also
luns well with tho ball, and his long
spilnt for a touchdown in tho Lack
awanna game will always be lecalled
by High School students. Uo Is the
player for right end on this team.
Manley of St. Thomas was only seen

E. Q. Courser.
429 Lnck nivalin n Ave.
here In two games, but put up nn ex
ceedingly strong exhibition In both,
Probably one of the best Individual
games played In the end position was
seen In the Wyoming game, In which
Lackawanna played her strongest
game of the season and succeeded In
tlelng tho strong seminary team. In
this contest Walters displayed great
speed, especially In getting down tho
field under hicks, and succeeded In
dropping his man nearly every tlmo
Forbes, of Lackawanna and St.
Thomas, only played one game as end
but In this game put up such n fine
exhibition of football that it entitles
him to tho other end position. Ho
tackled In a sure and deadly manner,
and when given tho ball made long
and telling gains with It.
Behind the line there Is consider
able trouble In choosing tho necessary
four men, because of tho great amount
of excellent material. For quarter
back we would, however, take Tropp,
of the High School. In every game
played, with the exception of that
with Wllllamsport, he ran tho team
well, made good gains with tho ball,
kicked well, nnd tackled finely. In
the St. Thomas game, also, ho dis
played good ability as a field-goal
kicker, and ho would undoubtedly bo
a good man for quirter on the. .team.
For the balf-backs such an aggre
gation of talent presents Itself that
It Is hard work to discriminate be
tween DeDow and Brown, of the High
School: Klrkw'ooil, of St. Thomas;
Ollendyke, of the Lackawanna, In the
Keystone game both DeBow and Will
lams, of the High School, played mag
nificent games, and in the game with
Wllllamspirt Arch Drown went
around the ends In a way which would
do credit to a Dlbbler,
DE EOW STEADY AND SURE.
DeBow and Brown are much the
same style half-backs, both of them
principally running! the ends. Brown
occasionally plays the more brilliant
game, but nevertheless DeBow always
puts up a steady, clever exhibition,
and it Is a rare thing when he does
not make one or more long runs In
the course of nn afternoon. He has
been captain of the High School team
for tho last two seasons, nnd In this
position has shown excellent execu.
tlve ability and power In leading on
his men.
This reason, also, would be consid
ered, and he would make the position
of light half on our team. For the
other half we have Brown, Kirkwood
and Ollendyke. The two former aro
both magnificent players, but aro both
of them, like DeBow, principally ena
runners. It would, therefore, be best
to place a strong lino plunger In the
position, and Ollendyke, of Lackawan
na, Is undoubtedly the man for the
place.
In tho High School-Lackawannn
game he gave, a magnificent exh'bi
tlon of llne-bucklng and fairly tore
the High School line to pieces. DeBow
and he would make an exceedingly
strong pair of halves and would make
things lively for any team they lined
up ngainsl. Tor full-back we have
O'Horo, of St. Thomas, Hadgins, of
tho Caibondale Indians, and Stark, of
Lackawanna Tho latter was only
seen throughout one entire game In
the city, but in that game played a
magnificent kicking game. Of the
thiee men, however, Hadgins, of the
Indians, is probably the best punter,
nnd Is also a good llne-bucker.
TROPP THE STRONGEST.
The punting nnd other kicking polnt9
of the game, however, could be at
tended to by Quarter-back Tropp.
O'Horo Is easily the strongest man of
the three on offensive tactics and In
the game with the strong Villa Nova
team, In particular, rlayed a flno
game, hitting the line with terrific re
sults and getting down the field
swiftly on the kick-off. He Is a fine
player and would be the light man
for the place. This Is the first team
and fiom the remainder of tho men
might be picked an eleven which
would give them a fierce tussle for
the ciipremacy.
The second team would probably
line up with Walters or McHugh and
Manley for the ends, Vail and Wels
senfluh at tho tackles, Jim Hot-an, of
Dunmore, and McDonald, of St.
Thomas, at the guards, and McDon
nell, of Lackawanna, at center. The
halves would be Kirkwood and Brown
and the quarter back J. O'Horo. of St.
Thomas. Hadgins, of (the Indians,
would look after the full-back posi
tion. These are the two teams which
could repiesent the county r.id would
line up as follows :
First Team. Second Team.

SUMMIT LAKE TO
BE ABANDONED
SO SAYS PRESIDENT LOOMIS, OF
PROVIDENCE COMPANY.
Letter from Him Read nt Last Even
ing's Meeting of the Board of
Health in Which He States That
the Company Is Drilling Artesian
Wells and That tho "Mud Pond,"
with Its Much-Talkcd-of Foulness,
Will Soon Be a Thing of the Past.
Dr. Allen's Statement.
Tho water supply of the Providence
Gas and Water company, which Is now
agitating the citizens of Green Ridge,
was the main topic up for considera
tion at last evening's meeting of tho
board of health.
A letter from President E E. Loomls,
of the company, which that gentleman
wrote to Health Ofilcer Allen after the
latter had conversed with him on the
subject, was read and much satisfac
tion was evidenced at the statement
contained In It that Summit lake, which
Is the principal cause of trouble, would
soon be abandoned by the company.
Mr. Loomls' letter Is given below:
W E. Allen, M. D.
Dear Sir: Referring to our conversa
tion of Inst evenlns In reference to llio
Providence Gas and Writer company's
water supply
As I advised you personnlly, I d-) not
propose to leivo a stone untuined towaid
Improving the quality of that water. Wo
are now working night and day, driving
wells below Grtlfln faun, and when these
aro completed wo hope and xpcct to be
able to have no further use for tho wa
ter from Summit lake.
Tho only objectionable feature I know
of, there, Is the barn, etc., adjacent to
the Griffin dam. Wo have had a survey
made, with a view to doing nwav with
this nuisance, and have authorized money
to make the purchase, but the party own
ing the property appears to be most un
reasonable In his price, Insisting upon
our purchasing the entire farm, etc. The
result of this Is going to force us to se
cure the additional property requlied by
condemnation proceedings I have ar
ranged to turn the matter over to our at
torney to do this If all other efforts fall.
In the meantime If your honorable body
can do anything In tho way of assisting
us to rid ourselves of the much-talked of
pig pen nuisance recently erected on the
stream leading from Summit lake, I can
assure you It will bo most thoroughly
appreciated by Yours very truly,
E. E. Loomls.
STATE BOARD W'LL ACT.
Dr. Allen stated that the pig pen
nuisance so much talked about was
entirely out of the Jurisdiction of the
Scranton board of health. He stated
that he had Just returned from Phila
delphia, where he had talked the mat
ter over with Dr. Reeves of the state
board of health. He was told by him
to go to tho owner of the place and
request him to remove it In the name
of the state board of health. If he
lefuscd then Dr. Allen was told the
state board would lake the matter In
hand.
Dr. Allen further reported that 223
houses had been placarded by T. V.
Lewis, the new assistant sinltary of
ficer, and that ho lnd also fumigated
thoroughly all the houses In which
contagious disease had existed In ad
dition to attending nil funerals w here
death resulted nnd preventing them
from being public.
It was decided by the boatd that
poultry dealers throughout the city
might hang out their poultry during
the holiday season.
The employes of tho crematory were
nil present at the meeting, and .a
definite understanding was arrived at
between themselves and the board
that they were hlied by the month
and were to do all the work to be done
at the crematory, no matter how
many hours a day they had to vvoilc
to do It. This was done for the pur
pose of avoiding any future claims for
overtime, euch as has been put In by
Former Superintendent Thomas.
