VALUABLE PAPER
BY L C. HOLDEN
(READ MFOIUB THE ECONOMIC
SECTION OF WOMEN'S CLTJB.
Dealt with the Subject of Plumbing
and Drainage and Showed the Ne
cessity of Having This Work Done
in Accordance with the Host Mod
ern Xdeai A Conalderable Ad
vance Has Been Made in This
During Recent Years in' the Way
of More Satisfactory Plumbing.
Notwithstanding the existence of a
Woman's club and a lively economic
section of the same In that part of the
city, the street crossings arc Just ns
bad In Green Ridge and near the li
brary, too, as they are on Washington
avenue and other Important down town
thoroughfares.
There were many members of the
economic section, however, who yes
terday afternoon waded courageously
to hear Architect L. C. Holden, of
New York, who has many monuments
to his abilities in this city, where he
built the magnificent residences of T.
H. Watkins, Judge Hand and others.
Before the close of the session a
brief business meeting was held, when
the address of Professor Wlngate to
the labor unions on the 29th at Guern
sey hall was announced.
Mr. Holden gave a most valuable
paper, which, with his illustrations and
diagnosis, afforded the clearest possi
ble exposition of the subject of plumb
ing and drainage. At the conclusion
of. his paper he showed the exact
causes of the entrance of sewer gas
Into a house and the methods of obvi
ating the evil. The paper given was
In part as follows:
MR. HOLDEN'S PAPER.
The application of scientific methods
to plumbing and drainage is compara
tively new. What Is called sanitary
plumbing is the installing of flxture9
and piping with due regard to the com
monest physical laws, such as we are
all familiar with. Formerly such work
was done with a total disregard of nil
physical laws except possibly the law
of gravitation.
But plumbing and drnlnage has, like
almost all other branches of mechan
ics, been made the subject of study by
men of intelligence and is not now loft
to the caprice of every workman, or his
employer. From intelligent study of
the subject, laws for the Introduction
of plumbing have been evolved to gov
ern us. Our mechanics of today know
more "t sanitary laws than did the
mployprs of such men twenty years
ago. Almost every city and town has
Its board of health, which has more or
less power and Inclination to control
the actions of owners and workmen In
the installation of plumbing In build
ings. In our large cities the plumbing
Is under most rigid inspection during
its introduction.
It Is hard for some people to under
stand why they should not be allowed
to do as they please witn tneir own
property. But the rigid execution of
the laws relating to plumbing and
drainage prevent the too avaricious
real estate owner from bringing death
and disease into the families of his
helpless and Ignorant tenants.
You that live in houses built several
years ago have not. It is safe to as
sume, in many cases, what we may
call modern plumbing. It is only with
in the last few years that Scranton
has exercised a supervision over plumb
ing done within its precincts. Former
ly tho opinion of such plumber as you
chose was in many cases the only law
for your work, and you may have
chosen one whoso only law was that
of self-preservation.
SELECTION OF A PLUMBER.
in selecting a plumber to do the work
in your house you should not be influ
enced entirely by the size of his bills,
or the neatness and dispatch with
which he performs his work. He should
bo Judged by the knowledge he has of
the best methods used in the introduc
tion of the system, and his disposition
to recognise the advantages to be
gained by such methods.
Since the introduction of your law
governing the method of piping in your
buildings a great change has taken
place In the view your plumbers take
of this subject. I believe they all sym
pathize with the law and fully under
stand tho method and its object. The
sins of plumbers have been multiplied
by tho telling. From my experience I
am pleased to say that most plumbers
with whom I have had dealings aro
honest and capable men. You have
them in numbers in this city, who are'
worthy of all confidence.
Comparing the cost of plumbing of
years ago to that of toduy is almost In
the proportion of nothing to much.
The reason for this is that, as in most
other branches of our household equip
ment, greater convenience is demand
ed, and Invention has been busy in de
vising more perfect and elegant fit
tings and fixtures. You not only re
quire them, you demand them.
If housekeepers would not consider
their duty done when the visible part
of their plumbing fixtures look clean
and bright, but would extend their ef
forts to the unseen insldes of the traps
and pipes, all of which are accessible;
in the modern fixtures, they would not
then have that unpleasant odor from
kitchen sinks, laundry tubs, wash
bowls and bath tubs, and the rooms
containing these would have as sweet
and clean an odor as any others in
their houses. An application of potash
from time to time, allowing it to pass
through the trap and waste line, is
beneficial, as it dissolves the grease to
which the objectionable matter at
taches itself,
CLEAN THE TRAPS.
This method alone Is better than
none, but the better way is to have
your plumber clean the traps thor
oughly at least twice a year. Don't
allow your architect or your plumber

to adviso you to purchase fixtures or
traps that cannot be easily cleaned.
The whole trend of Invention in these
appliances is toward accessibility for
cleaning and repairing.
Our present method of Installing
plumbing and dratnago pipes accom
plishes two very important things. It
prevents a heading or pressuro of gas
forming In nny of tho pipes, and it pre
vents tho formation of a vacuum or
partial vacuum In any lino or parts of
any line, or in the system. This con
dition prohibits the forcing of nny trap
seals by air or gas, and also prohibits
tho syphoning of the seals of traps.
Many of you will find In tho floors of
your cellars, and In tho floor of your
cellar entrance rrom tno yara, or in
tho yard Itself, a grating through
which tho surface water flows. These
aro cesspools. In some of them, If you
lift tho grating, you will find a bell
shape piece of cast iron attached to
the grating. This forms what is called
a bell trap. It Is not the best form of
trap, for the reason that when this Is
exposed to tho air, and it necessarily
Is In most cases, tho water forming the
seal of the trap will in times of
drought evaporate and permit tho air
from the drain to pass up through tho
grating.
When this form of trap Is used.watcr
should be poured Into the grating from
time to time to take the place of that
which may have evaporated.
In cold weather steam may be seen
issuing from tho outlets of plumbing
pipes abovo the roof. This is caused
by the condensing of the warm air
from the pipes when it comes in con
tact with the cold air. In very cold
weather frost accumulates In the ex
posed ends of these pipes and fre
quently entirely closes the orifice; when
this occurs the purposes of the system
aro defeated, and you have all of the
defects of tho old methods. We use
larger pipes in the lines at the upper
ends to allow for an accumulation of
frost, but with long continued low tem
perature even this does not prevent the
dlfllculty. In most cases an examina
tion of these vent pipes would be In
convenient on account of the inaccessi
bility of the pipes themselves.
CLOSED WITH FROST.
It is not unusual to And them closed
with frost, and it is unfortunate that
this should happen at times wnen tne
building Is closed as tightly as pos
sible on account of the weather, and
therefore does not have the usual
amount of ventilation by means of
open doors and windows. Vegetable
and animal matter during the process
of decomposition gives oft gas which If
breathed In sufficient quantities pois
ons the system and lowers vitality.
It is this gas and Its injurious effects
that we have to contend with In our
sewer and plumbing systems. It Is n
heavy gas, so much heavier than tho
atmosphere that It requires some force
to dislodge it from the drainage pipes.
The circulation of air by the Introduc
tion of the fresh air inlet gives this
result.
The breathing of this gas will not In
Itself result In any specific disease un
less the gas Is the conveyor of the
germs of the disease, but If breathed
In appreciable quantities will so debili
tate the system as to make It more
susceptible to disease. We are exposed
at all times to risk of contracting dis
ease by the germs being blown through
the air we breathe.
It is claimed by some experts that
the gus generated in drain lines gath
ers disease germs and its opportunities
must be great for doing so.
The manner or piping requireu oy
your law is called the ventilated sys
tem. There Is another method advo
cated by many and used In some com
munities which we may call the dif
fusion system. This latter system is
Installed without traps, and can be de
scribed as a system which makes every
building connected to the sewer sys
tem of the city a ventilator for the
sewers. It Is claimed by Its advocates
to toe superior to the ventilated sys
tem, for the reason that there being
no obstructions In the lines in the form
of traps, there is perfect and unob
structed circulation of air through the
sewers and plpe3 within the buildings.
As you are not allowed to use this
system In your city, the merits of the
two systems need not be considered.
My own opinion Is that the ventilated
system Is the best, when well con
structed. It must be well constructed,
for any fault In its arrangement will
very often cause cither a forcing or
syphonage of tho traps, and It 'is on
this fact that the advocates of the
other system base their strongest ar
guments. I will explain by diagrams
how traps may be syphoned and forced.
TROUBLE WITH GAS.
It is ulso claimed that should thero
be gas In the lines, the gas in contact
with one side of the water seal allows
the water forming the seal to absorb
the gas and escape through the water
Into the room, but the theory of the
ventilated system does not admit that
gas Is allowed to remain In the pipes,
for the reason that there Is always a
circulation inward at the fresh air in
let and upward to the outlet of the
roof.
I believe that eventually wo will use
on our plumbing lines a mechanical ex
haust, by means of an attachment to
tho lines, containing a slow-speed elec
tric fan. This will make positive what
Is now at best an Intermittent circula
tion dependent upon atmospheric con
ditions and the speed of the wind.
Theoretically, if smoke should bo ap
plied to the fresh air Inlet it would at
onco disappear theieln and pass quick
ly through the lines and out at the
roof, but It does not always do this.
The lines are so long and the pipes aro
so small that the friction causes the
air to move very slowly. This can be
demonstrated in a very simple way. If
you blow through a short tube the
breath will pass through faster than
you can readily supply it. If you
lengthen the tube, keeping the diam
eter the same, tho force required will
Increase with the length. As we de
pend wholly on natural draught for
circulation of air through tho pipes, It
can bo easily seen that we ask too
much of nature, and should assist the
natural flow of air with some me
chanical power.
Should such mechanical power be ap
plied to exhaust the air from the lines,
we could omit the traps from fixtures,
and the result would be that each fix
ture would then become a ventilator
for the room in which it may be
located, Instead of a menace; and
furthermore, as heat and moiBture pro
mote decomposition, the positive and
continuous passage of air at a fair
speed would quickly oxidize tho sew
age matter and the result would be as
perfect a system as need be.
As this power would bo a material
bxpenBe, It would be perhaps Imprac
ticable in small buildings. House
owners would hesitate about adopting
a system that would mean an expense
even so small as burning ono sixteen
candio power electric lamp continu
ously, but for hospitals or other large
institutions I believe it would be prac
ticable and advantageous.
ENDEAVOBERS MEET.
Executive Committee Came Together
in Grace Reformed Church.
The executive committee of the local
Christian Endeavor union met last
night In Grace Reformed church, on
Wyoming avenue, and held the regular
business meeting.
The mere routine business was trans
acted and the resignation of Treasurer
Phillips was then offered. It was no
cepted.and it was then decided to leave
the appointment of his successor with
the president of the society. Mr. Phil
lips is ill and has left the cltv for a
time In the hope of recuperating. He
ports of various committees were read
and action taken upon them bv the
society, and the meeting then adjourned.

of the Teachers Mutual Benefit Asso
ciation, Scranton, Pa.
My Dear Friends: Another year has
como and gone. Flvo years have been
mercifully given to us as a society,, and
wo are still atlvo and healthy. Another
call for an annual report of our society
and you are hereby asked to listen to
somo reasons for encouragement. Wo
organized five years ago yesterday with
twenty-three charter members. Since
March 16, l&M, nineteen other teachers
havo become members, making a total of
forty-two different teachers who havo
been members of our association. Wo
havo lost one, Jessie Connell, by death.
Of tho forty-two members, ten have re
ceived benefits. $349.20 Tiavo been paid to
members on account of sickness or other
disability. The average annual amount
paid out on account of sickness is $69.M.
Our present members pay from 50 cents
'to II each per month. The treasury is
now in tho following condition:

The report of the secretary was as
follows:
SECRETARY'S REPORT.
To tho Officers and Members of tlio
Teachers' Mutual Benefit Association:
Dear Friends: It la with profound feel
ings of pleasure your secretary records
today tho fifth anniversary of tho Teach
ers' Mutual Benefit association of tho
city of Scranton, whoso duration many
predicted would be shoit, but whoso
strength is now greater than ut any tlmo
during its history, and Judging from tlu
number of recent applications promis.-
to flourish. Tho Important subjects dis
cussed during the year, outside of thoho
pertaining to the treasury are few. First,
the bummer excursion; second, estab
lishing a fixed tlmo for tho payment of
dues; third, preparing a behemo for ad
vertising our society, showing tho dues
per month on tho different salaries, and
the amount of benefits paid slnco or
ganization; fourth, amending tho con
stitution fco as to mako the society re
sponsible for death benefits, and also
paying teachers who are absent from
school on account of contagious dlseaso
In tho household where ho or she re
sides. All have been satisfactorily dis
posed of, excepting the third, which is
still under consideration.
Tho excursion to Harvey's lake was
all that could bo desired socially, and
reflected great credit on tho manage
ment. Dues must bo paid beforo II!
o'clock (noon) on tho third Saturday of
each month, otherwise tho member Is In
nrrears. Tho paying of J73 In caso of
tho death of a member and 60 per cent,
salary In case of absence through con
tagious disease, bids fair to be a mcuns
of increasing the membership. If teach
ers who are not members wero to think
more seriously of the object of this as
sociation, so well told In its title, and
the advantages which could be gained by
all banding together, there would not bo
a teacher In tho city but would enroll,
for It Is evident that benefits in case ot
Illness or other disability are not tho
only benefits which might be derived. "In
union there is strength."
Again, when we consider the cost of
membership is but I per cent, of salary,
a mere trifle, and what good our mite
each month may do some fellow-teacher
who is not as fortunato as ourselves In
tho possession of health, tho spirit of
good-will, If no other motive, should
prompt all to belong. Many wish to Join
but seem to lack tho will to enforce the
wlbh. Dr. Weaver says: "Good wishes
aro liko good plows, which stand mill In
tho furrow till some forco is added to
push them through tho resisting soil."
Tho truest part of genuine goodness Is
the will that makes it active, but the
dlvinest part is that which puts It on Its
feet, and sends It with helping hand on
missions of mercy.

A MUCH ACCUSED PAIR.
John Fubliskl Sent to County Jail
by Alderman Howe.
John Publlskl, of West Scranton,
was arraigned beforo Alderman John
T. Howo yesterday, charged with a
long line of offenses by Com-tlne Na
mcltkl, and, In default of $300 ball was
committed to tho county Jail, while
Mrs. Nameltkl was arrested later on
the same charges.
The prosecutor alleges firstly, that
on March fi. Publlskl struck him in
tho back with a stone, causing him
srvero bodily pain. The second accu
sation lies In the fact that Numeltk
claims thnt on various occasions Pub
llskl has threatened to poison him.
And lastly, this much-accused man Is
charged with entering tho prosecutor's
house while he was at work and alien
ating tho affections of his w fe, .even
though ho himself had a spouse In
Europe.
At the hearing it dovelti-cd tha
Publlskl has already served a term
of six months in tho county Jail and
that ho bears a rather unsavory repu
tation. Mrs, Nameltkl was nrrosted
later in the night by Constable Cole,
of Alderman Howe's court, charged
with assault and battery, threats and
11 lclt relations with Publlskl, by tho
husband. She will bo given a hearing
today.

SOME GREAT CHEAPNESS IN
HOUSEHOLD UNENS.
Our Linen department is always piling up good and useful Linens, offering big bargain game lor tht
economical home makers that fix their faith in the price and fibre ot Connolly & Wallace Linens. The big
Domestic department, rear of the store, left, is pretty much given over to Linens. It should be a gratifica
tion that Table Linens, Towels and Bed Linens can be had cheaper in Scranton than in Europe. This
achievement is only possible to great trading. Abroad the manufacturer is expected to carry the retailer's
stock. That is not the American idea. We buy so largely that in many cases the reduction in price will
pay both duty and transportation. Our Linens salute you and await your coming. Numerous and various.
Every item CHEAP in the true sense. This special offering includes many thousand dollars worth of
goods. The quoted prices give only a few specimens from a great collection of bargains.
