President Hoffman Delivered His Address in Which He Referred to the Work Being Done at the Man ual Training School Report Con cerning That School Submitted by Superintendent Hetzel Open Meeting in tho Afternoon in the Linden Street Temple. The biennial convention of Disltlct Or;ntl lodgp, No. 3, Independent Order li'.nal H'rlth was formally opened yes terday morning In this city, when, rep resentatives fropt tho subordinate lodges of Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware came together at the local headquarters in Oucrtifey hall. No particular business was trans acted as that part of the programme will be conducted today. Tho reports of various committees were read and President Charles Hoffman dellveie I his annual message. It was a magnifi cent exposition of the purposes of tho order, the works accomplished by it and tho duths of the members. in the afternoon nn open session wai held at the Linden street synagogue, nt which the oration of the day was de livered by Uev. AI. AI. Klchlcr. of Phila delphia, who spoke on "A Century of Jewish Progress." This lodge is the greatest beneficial and charitable Jewish organization known, and Its power extends nil over this country ami Europe. One great work accomplished by it Is the maintenance at Philadelphia of the IVnal H'rlth Alanual Training school nt Touro hall. Philadelphia, where a large number of poor children are educated In mechanical drawing, woodworking and other branches. A report of tho work of tho school was read yesterday morning by Super intendent Hetzel President Hoffman, who lives nt Philadelphia, where he Is a prominent lawyer and the editor of the Jewish Exponent, naturally comes close In con tact with the work of the institution, and in his message yesterday, among; other things, said: MANUAL THAINING SCHOOL. Foremost among nil our philanthropic work is tho Alanual Training school, that bears our name, that Is tho work of oi.r own hands, that is Identified with our progress, that marks the transition from tho old to the new, that Is the symbol of honor to us, both at home and abroad, and whoso benefits hac been spread broadcast throughout our population. For five years its constant, steady, silent work has been performed, like the quiet dropping of rain upon the grass, liko the dew upon tho herbs, without parade and without concealment, but with persistent diligence and systematic discipline It has spread Its beneficent light among the upwards of three hundred and lifty lads that have come within the radius of Its Influence. You will remember, brethren, with what care, and labor under the ad ministration and leadership of my pre decessor in office. J'ast tlrand President Jacob Singer, this work was established. The whole ground was thoroughly can vassed, and not without opposition (which has been steadily maintained and ns reg ularly and emphatically overwhelmed) tho plan of our Institution was decided upon. Then the lodges were visited and Joined In tho project. Then tho Institu tion was established and lias been well conducted from February. 1S9.", to this day. It has received the faithful devo tion of ablo teachtrs. It has been care fully and faithfully watched over and directed by tho wise Judgment of tho ehalrtnnn of the governing committee of tho school, Ilrother Maurice. Fels. It ban received the commendation of cxpeit educators and been practically endorsed by the heads of the Jewish community. Its good work Is attested by the constant pressuro of candidates for admission. This is induced by no adventitious conslU. er.ulons. We do not relieve parents from tho duty of supporting their children. Wo do not take them away from their public schools, but on the contrary we nsslst and strengthen the latter In their hold upon our pupils. For the general edu cation that tho htnto supplies free to all Its Inhabitants, wo offer no substitute. The economy of our arrangement Is seen thereby that we concentrate all our ef forts upon those special needs that our peculiar conditions demand, utilizing aii existing agencies and supplementing tlnsii efficiency. We are actively engagid In tho very center of our congested popula tion in opening up new channels of In dustry, in reaching down to the humblest and poorest and raising them from tho enforced bondage of their condition and setting them free to work out their own salvation in tho great mechanical Indus tries of our great land. We have no Pro crustean bed for all our pupils. Ours Is the task to develop their faculties and to discover that occupation for which Providence has best lilted them under existing circumstances. Our boys love the school: it Is to them no drudgery: no enforced drudgery but a labor In which they delight. INSTANCES CITKD. He then cited several Instances of the boys going to steady and lucra tive positions from the training school and of the general advantages and benefits accruing to it. This ended the morning session and the meeting then adjourned to inert again this morning at 9 o'clock and this afternoon at 2 o'clock to conduct the routine business, consisting of re ports of committee?, election of olll cers. etc. The following are tho representa tives present from tho various out-of-town lodges: Philadelphia Mux Tlialheimer.

In tho afternoon at " o'clock tho open meeting was conducted In thi Linden street temple. Thi! temple was appropriately deco rated, and the musleul part of tho pro gramme was well attended to by a splendid choir, tindor tho direction of Prof. C. I!. Dermaii. An organ prelude and selection by tho choir opened the servicer, nnd prayer was offetcd by Itcv. At. Salzman, of 'WilkcP-tSarro. Ho was followed by President Holf man, who made nn introductory ad dress, speaking In a general manner of the order, nnd 1r.iikl.1g the nudlcnco acquainted with the orator of the day, Hew M. M. Klchlcr, of Philadelphia. Tho latter then addressed bis audi ence, speaking In an easy, eloquent manner, which bold the attention of till who beard hlin. In tht course of bis r.prech bo privo utterance to tho following sentiments: Atnrkliid may be proud of the progress of the niietenntb century. In science, in nrt. In Inventions, in political, social, educational, charitable and religious in stitutions 11 made greater strides Hum any two centuries ever did before. If Newtcn, Onlllleo, or Keppler would rls-3 up from Ids grmo bo would blush seeing that a schoolboy knows more of the won. derful universe with Its Infinite stars and t labels than those gigantic, intellects of the past. Ilenjamiu Franklin, who lust taught the wnild huw to iliuw the light ning from the clouds, would be astonished at the sight of a common street car pio pelled by tho mvsferloiis power of elec li Icily, or seeing tho brilliancy of tho ilce trie light which changes night into day. Hubert Fulton with his little boat on tho Hudson; James Watt, with his clumsy engine, would marvel nt tho wonderful development of the voik which they be gun. APPLICATION TO LIFE. In all branches of knowledge and fn their application to practical life lintneiu'c progress has been inndo and enormous advance in Increase of human comfort and happiness, In the moral, political and social llfo mr tho nations as well as of Individuals) tho nineteenth century has Hindi' many changes and improvements, Tho spirit of freedom has entered the heart of tho nations and caused the throne to shako and tho tyrants to tiemble. The XlonUt of one hundred years ago waited Idly for miracles, the modern nationalist believes In facts. In olden times people wished to have tho ptlvllego of dying in Jeiusalem, now they want to make It a fit place to live In. The illffereneu Is admirably Illustrated on Hid post card Issued In connection with tho llaslu congress. On one side them Is a gloomy picture of old Hebrews, clothed in long caftan", standing and weeping at tho "western wall" which Is supposed to be tho last remnant of tho temple of Jo tusalcm. Decrepit nnd bent figures wringing their hands for the rebuilding of the temple, for the revocation of tho past. On the other side Is a sturdy mus cular son of Judalt sewing grain on the Held under the blue sky, his face cheer ful from tho balmy nlr of tho country, his llguro erect as the palm tree which he mitre, his liopo buoyant llko the ga zelle which skips on the mountain tops of Zlon. He represents the future. The pic. turo characterizes the Jew of 1900. llo does not crouch before tho Gentile like a beggar stands before jour door. He standi erect and thunders nt thti world his claims In a hundred languages. In a thousand of newspapers, In countless books of all descriptions, scientific, argu mentative, sociological, proso and poetrj fiction and fancy. And his words are so emphatic, soconvlnclng, there is such ring of truth about them that humanity can not shut the'- eyes and refuse to hear. Tho Jew of 1!''K Intends to get a bearing and he will get. It. llo wishes to enter the list of combatants for progress, for enlightenment, for freedom, for Justice and equalltj. Ho wishes to find again his place In this world among the nations and expresses his wish boldly. He wants to be readmitted Into blstorj wnenco be was excluded. Yes, the Jew was shut out from the world's blstorj for hundreds of years, cc pt for tho record of monotony of perseeutlns and exiles. For eight een hundred years ho was the passive, sufferer. The nineteenth century changed him Into nn active worker In the labora tory of progress. FOUGHT DIFFERENCES. Let us forget our differences. Let u no longer speak of Jews of Alsace, of Por tugal, Kusslu, Itoumuula and Germany. Though scattered over tho face of the globe, we are still one people worshipping the same God, Brethren of the covenant! Let us up hold our banner and spread the light of tho Alesslah, of education and enlighten, meat, of culture among our people. Let us also glvo them our staff of support, assist those who aro helpless to be able to help themselves. Let us bring about an era that there bo no cause of sajlng as Helno did: "Judaism is not religion but a misfortune." Llko Aloses of old, let us todaj tell the children of Israel to go to work. Let pur motto be "Onward ever onward nnd up ward" and tho waves of the sea of mis erj' will divide nnd the wilderness of hatred will be changed Into u garden and the hills of difficulties will be levelled, and Israel redeemed and honored will enter the promised land where righteousness shall flow like rivers, where Justice and peace shall reign supreme, where human affections shall demolish all racial and social barriers and the Ideal of Israel's prophets will be realized. Amen, Tho guests, many of "whom have brought with them their wives, aro being entertained at the Hotel Jermyn, nnd every urrangement Is being made for their comfort and enjoyment. Most of them having arrived Saturday a banquet was ten dered them at the club house of the Excelsior Social club. It was served by Caterer E. Aloses, while the rooms appropriately decorated presented a handfome appearance. Tho largo ballroom was transformed Into a din Ing room beautifully decked with plants and greens. Long stilugs of foliage extended all over the walls, gracefully twined together, while flor al stars and crescents added a sym bolical nppearnr.ee to the geneial ef fect. At 7.30 Yln"k all present sat down to tho dinner, which, with the after dinner speeches, continued In nearly 11 o'clock.

Hitchcock Return from That Meeting Some of the Matters That Were Discussed J. A. Lan sing, the Now President of the Board of Trade Work of Major W. S. Millar as the Brigade In spector of tho National Guard. Secretary Dolph B. Atherton ant Colonel F. L. Hitchcock, the Scran ton board of trade's representatives at the annual meeting of the national board of trade, held last week In 'Wash ington. D. C, returned to this city mi Saturday nnd though they didn't suc ceed in getting tho board to urpe upon the navy department the necessity of purchasing' anthracite coal for use on tli 2 wnrshaps, they nevertheless re port tlie meeting not only a. pleasant, but ulso a prolltablo one. Secretarj- Atherton, In talking over the meeting on Saturday, said that the anthracite coal question was brougb up on the last day of the sua sion, when hu Introduced a resolution to the effect that the board heartily endorsed tho Idea of using anthracite coal exclusively on all warships. One kind looking old gentleman got up, Secretary Atherton says, nnd raised the objection that the board could not consider such a resolution for a moment, as If anthracite coal were endorsed the next thing the board would bo doing would bo en dorsing "Ivory Soap',' and "lloyal Halt ing Powder." He moved that tho reso lution be laid upon the table, where upon Air. Atherton withdrew It, re marking, however, that he was com ing back next year to light it out again. Tho board heartily endorsed the sen ate bill permitting competing lines to laj- cables to Cuba, and tbolr endorse ment being sent to the senate com mittee having tho bill under consider ation, that body reported favorably on It tho next day. The board also en dorsed the house currency reform measure. The principal matter, however, un der discussion, was Senator Cullom's proposed amendment to the inter-state commerce law. Heretofore the Inter state commerce commissioners have been practically figure heaibj, Thej could hear testimony regarding tba charging of prohibitive freight rates by the railroad companies and they could offer suggestions, but they had no real power. Senator Cullom's amendment gives them the right to fix the maximum and minimum rates to be charged and pro vides that their ruling shall In nil cases stand and be operative until passed upon by the United Stated court. A number of speeches were made favoring tho adoption of this amendment nnd on account of the op position to the measure nlready crop ping out in Washington, a special committee was appointed to make a fight for- the amendment. There are fifteen on this committee. Secretary Atherton being among the number. The Hepburn bill providing for tht construction of the Nicaragua canal under the absolute control of the Unit ed States was heartily endorsed and Secretarj Atherton says that from tho sentiment now prevailing In the capi tal city there is hardly any doubt but what this measure will go through both branches of congress. The sessions of the board were re markable for the harmonious spirit which prevailed and for the hearty co operation manifested by all the repre sentatives of the forty-seven boards of trade. Kx-fiovernor Stanard, of AIls souri, acted as president pro torn., and Frederick Frahley, of Philadelphia was unanimously re-elected president. Air. Frahley is now 96 years old and has been re-elected president eveiy year for the past thirty years. The delegates were reeelvd by President AIcKlnlej' in the White House during their stay and spent a pleasant half hour with the chief executive of tho nation. Secretarj' Atherton has accepted an invitation to attend the next mcetins of the Albany chamber of commerce, to bo held on Feb. 12, and will tell the citizens of New York's capital city something about Scranton's progres sive board of trade. James A. Lansing, tho new president of the Scrunton board of trade, has been, perhaps, as actively Interested in the industrial growth of the cltj' of Scranton during tho past few years a .myjnember of what Is rightly regard ed as one of the most influential bodie.i in the country. Air. Lansing is tho president of the Scranton Stove works, having succeeded the late Colonel J. A. Price In that position and is nlso one of the directors of the newiy estab lished nut and bolt works. He is an authority on financial finest Ions and his advice is often sought by many would-be Investors. As ii member of tho manufactures committee of the board of trade be has been Interested during the past I few years In locating various Indus tries hereabouts. He is specially In terested in the tin plate Industry now being promoted by the board and has rendered valuable aid In tho securing of stock subscriptions to the proposed rompany. He is also a member of so lrct council, having represented thi Seventeenth ward in that branch for the past four years. His record 'i councils is an enviable one and though his remaiks on the floor are made In a softly modulated tone, without any attempt at pyrotechnics, they never fheless carry force and conviction.

Thlw fact bus been evidenced on several occasions when the major has attempted to reslsn bis position ns Inspector of the Third bri gade and has been as often besought to remain by the National Guard au thorities. The major himself, on ono occasion, at least, sent In bis resigna tion a second time nnd wan then po litely but (Irmly commanded not to re sign and so tho mnlor continued ns Inspector of tho Third brigade and Is likely in n short time to become the ranking Inspector of tho state.

The major never makes a com ment no matter what goes wrong o how many men march out of step and this counts with company officers, who feel deeply any defect In the men of their command. The major's annual reports are models of conciseness and pithiness. He Is as popular with the rank and file as with the officers, :i striking evidence of which Is that dur ing his recent tour of Inspection through the state ho was tendered two complimentary banquets. The major Is, as everybody knows, alderman of the Eighth ward, promi nent Republican and several other things, but, as a distinguished novel ist from over tho sea says, that's an other story.

Mrs. Michael Conwnj-, of the Motile vard, Throop, was found deud in bed at 1 o'clock j-esterday afternoon by a member of the family who went to bring her food. Airs.

A large number of city teachers con gregated In the auditorium of tho High school last Saturday to receive Instruc tion from those who were selected for a place on the monthly Institute pro gramme.
