Superintendent Elin K. Kraemer of the
hospital.
PRESIDENT'S REPORT.
To the Contributors of the Lackawanna Hospital.
I hand jou herewith my annual report for
the )ear ending March 31, 11)00.
In all respects, this has been the most in
teresting jear in the history of the Institution.
The work accomplished has been far healer
than ecr before, the total number of dn)s in
which in-patients were supported being 2I,fi)S,
an increase ot 1,330 days oer last year, which
up to that time was tho greatest. The cost
of maintenance was also high, the total expen
ditures being $24,977.07, or ?7.0I5 per patient
per week. In addition to this, and not includ
ed in expenditures of maintenance, was $.",3I8.6'
paid on the Zang property, next us on tho
north, and for putting the home in condition
for occupancy by the nurses. The purchase of
this property had become an absolute necessity.
The olllclals of the Delaware and Hudson com
pany had most generously given us the use of
their old office building, on I'ranklln aunue,
and as we had the use of it absolutely free,
we could not ask them to spend any monies
on its repair, and It had become both uncom
fortable and unsafe as a home. One-hall 'he
cod of the lot ($3,750) was paid in cash, the
balance remaining on bond and mortgage.
Tho cost of maintenance during the year seems
high, but we had a great many extraordinary
expenses. This, in a large measure, was due
to our haing a number ot contagious diseases
dcc!op thesj arc always a source of added
expense.
Our deatli rate seems large, there being sixty
two during the year, but of these, twent)-two
occurred within twenty-four houis aft.1," le'ni
admitted, which I consider a cry low late,
taking into account tho number 'reited '.751,
in alU.
Our dispensary has also done a larc work
this car; we treated:
Surgical cases Ml
Medical cases SM
A total of 1705
We had 4,451 x Iits for out-door relief, mil
compounded 2,745 prescriptions.
It is with great plcasuio that I Jiinouncc,
that through the kindness ot .-. tedy. who has
alwa)s been a friend to the tiopilil, giound
has been broken for a children's ward, a thing
that has been so badly ncj.lcd fir a long
time. Tlds addition will be como'e-c.l and
turned over to us, fico of ili ep,'iM Net
only ourselies, but the rciumumy, uwa this
benefactor moie thanks than I cm express here,
and I am sure that the little mx, win are
obliged to come here, will call her mme
blessed.
During tho past )car the start have boen
particularly attentive and have given their time
and attention freely. The demands on them
have been numerous and seere their experience
Bleat we give them now our usual fees, .l.any
thanks.
To the ladies ot the city our thanks aic also
extended. Their kindness in furnishing needle
work, flowers, and other things, too miincious
to mention, is tlioioughly appreciated. Wo do
not like to mention names In this report, but
I feel that we should make espeiial note ot the
work of Mrs. E. X. Wlllard. fehe has do.ve
wonderful labor in enlisting the aid if mer
chants, workmen, miners and others, in loulri'j
uting to the good cause.
To the general public I can only sjy, llnru
jou. You hae done well, and the tiod of the
Buttering will bless )ou for it.
To the board of directors, the olticen and
superintendents, in fact, ajl connected with our
hoplul, I thank jou for jour aid, loyalty and
considciation in my endeavor to make your in
stitution what it should be a glorious charity.
Itcpcctfully submitted,
James P. Dickson, President.

THE NORDICA CONCERT.
Attended by n Large Number from
This City.
A big crowd of Scrantonlans went
down to Wllkes-Hnrro last night tp
hear Mme. Nordlca sing In the Ninth
regiment armory. The Scranton con
tingent left hero In a special train nt
7 p. m. and returned shortly before
midnight.
Mme. Nordlca sang eleven numbers,
In two of which the dllllcult work and
the rare art nro seldom equalled and
never excelled. One was the Polonaise
from Mlgnon, tho other the Intricate
and wildly beautiful encore to her last
selections.
The purity and vitality of her tones
were a continuous Joy. In the charm
ing spring songs there was Infinite
freshness In tho lilting strains. No
number wns more enjoyed by the ma
jority of listeners than the dnlnty little
morceatt, "The Sweetest Flower," -when
her wonderful nblllty for sustained
plnnlbslmo effects was as deftly shown
ns In the great aria, her famous tour
do force from Les Huguenots, when
she sings high C In steady crescendos
during four measures.
Few mere pleasing slnger are heard
In concert than Madame Mantelll. She
has a big, well i outvied and most
sympathtlc contrnllo voice, the mezzo
qualities glvlnsj a xJds range. Her
work was most satisfactory, especially
In tho utla from "Les Hugenots,"
whero tho noble quality of her upper
teglster was given full scope.
Signer Perottl is a tenor robusto, in
fact, certain notes ho strikes are lim
pid and flexible to a degree, but chiefly
his vfilce has an edge not exactly
pleasing. He sang tho "Oh, So Pure"
with careful, pleasing and extremely
dramatic effect. He was best in tho
duet from "II I'rovatore." Like hU
companions he wns kind In respond
ing to encores.

THE TRIUMPH OF THE SOUL.
Eloquent Sermon at Cathedral by
Rev. Miles J. McManus.
i
Rev. Miles J. McManus preached a
most eloquent sermon last night in
St. Peter's cathedral on "Tho Triumph
of the Soul." In relating Instances In
which the soul has triumphed he spoke
or Napoleon Bonaparte, who, he said,
was no sublime character In the early
days of his life, but whose character
was truly beautiful In his later days,
when on the Island ot St. Helena ho
taught Christian doctrine to little chil
dren, and whose death was one of the
happiest in all history, -
"Many men," said he, "are so wed
ded to the sordid Interests of the world
that when atlllction overtakes them
they don't know where to look for
comfort. The sorrows of the world are
responsible for the conversion of a
great many men. Speaking of Judas
Iscarlot, he said that he was not con
demned for eternity because of his
betrayal ot Christ, but because he de
spaired." Tho forty hours' devotion will be
continued today and will bo conclud
ed tomorrow morning.

WILLARD INVOKES
HIS OWN DECISION
NEW READING- OF A FEATURE
OF THE LIQUOR LAWS.
In tho Crusade Case Against Pro
prietor McCnbo, of the St. Cloud,
Wlllard, Warren & Knapp Demand
the Defendant's Discharge on the
Strength of nn Opinion Written
for tho Superior Court by Judge
Willard It Is at Variance with
Judge Archbald's Interpretation.
One peculiar thing which Is likely
to cut a prominent figure In the Il
legal liquor jelling prosecutions de
velops In tho case against J. S. Mc
Cabe, one of the proprietors ot tho
St, Cloud, where- It is alleged liquor
was said on Sunday, March 25.
(Mr. McCabe demanded a hearing
when arraigned before Alderman Ful
ler, and when permitted to put In a
defense averred that he had not sold
any liquor on Sunday, was not pres
ent when any was sold, that he not
only did not countenance Its sale by
his partner or any of their employes,
but had given strict orders to all con
nected with the establishment that no
Intoxicants should be sold on Sunday.
Tho bar room was kept open, on Sun
day, ho admitted, but It was solely
for the accommodation of the patronis
ot the lunch counter, which occupies
one ?lde of the room.
Under the law, as It has been In
torprpted hereabouts, such an expla
nation would not bo permitted by tho
court ns nn attempt at a defense. As
Judge Archbald 'ald In his charge to
tho Jury yesterday:
A nun who has a hotel, a license, cannot
shield himself by the suggestion thst somebody
else did it; that he fuc strict orders that his
house and bar should be closed on Sunday. Tlw
man is master of his own house; he Is bound to
N-c that it is closed: If he sutlers his bar to be
open and his bar-keeper to be there, he Is 'as
Icsponslble as though he himself were present
and might jut as wrll himself go and deal out
the drinks, lie is an aecissory to whit may hap
pen In the way of Felling on Sunday or selling
liquors on election day. The law puts the respon
slbllty upon him und he cannot evade it by en
deaorinB to shift it off on to komebody else.
TAKE AN OPPOSITE VIEW.
Mr. McCabe's nttorneys, Wlllard,
Warren & Knapp, however, claim this
Interpretation Is not a correct one, and
propose to prove their contention by
securing Mr. McCabe's discharge. They
say that while this was the law, It It
the law no longer, and ns an assurance
of the correctness of their views they
point to the fact that one of their
number, ex-Judge Wlllard, wrote the
opinion when the ruling was made by
the Superior court.
Tho decision was made in the case
of the Commonwealth against Johnson,
2 Superior court reports. Johnson was
a Butler county drugglst.who was con
victed of selling Illegally, in that one
of his clerks sold whiskey more than
onco on the one prescription. He
wanted to show that It was done with
out his knowledge and against his or
ders, but the court below ruled out the
offer. The Superior court declared this
to be an error, and In the opinion con
taining the decision Judge Willard said
practically that a defendant In a liquor
license case should be treated the same
as any other person accused of crime;
he could no more be held guilty of tho
act of his agent, In committing this
offense, than he could If the offense
was assault and battery, other things
being equal. The language of the opin
ion is:
"Every lawful instruction from prin
cipal to agent Is to be considered as
given In good faith, until the contrary
Is shown, and the bona-fldes of the In
struction is for the Jury. Under no
other rule can the rights of honest men
be preserved, and they are entitled to
Invoke this rule, notwithstanding that
some dishonest men may perchance es
cape Just punishment under Its seal."
Further on In his decision of the case
Judge Wlllard makes the remark that
a hotel proprietor can not be expected
to stand behind his bar continually to
see that the law is obeyed; to guard,
for Instance, against a bartender sell
ing to a minor, or a person of intem
perate habits. It would be a physical
Impossibility, the Judge says.
The hearing In the McCabe case took
place last Friday and Alderman Ful
ler has not yet rendered his decision.
In discussing the matter with a Trib
une man yesterday, he strongly inti
mated that he was disposed to accept
the leading of the law as Mr. Mc
Cabe's attorneys Interpret It. Mr.
O'Mnlley, who has the active charge
of the case, expressed himself as fully
confidert of being able to maintain
the position he has taken.
EFFECT OF DECISION.
Should this contention be sustained
It would put the crusaders to the ne
cessity of proving that the proprie
tor sold the drink himself or that his
employe sold it with tho consent and
knowledge of the employer. At pres
ent, as Judge Atchbald's remarks yes
terday set forth, It was taken for
granted that if the employer did not
know the law wan being violated on
his piemires he should know It and
he was not permitted to offer his Ig
norance ns a defense.
One of the liquor cases was present
ed to the grand Jury during the after
noon. It is the one against John Cav
anaugh, S45 Penn avenue, charged
with selling without a license und sell
ing on Sunday, L B. Sturges appear
ed as prosecutor. Tho witnesses for
tho commonwealth were Robert Wil
son. James Reld and George E. West.
District Attorney Jones bald he has
no fixed piogrumme for presenting tho
other cr-.es. A fast as they are
reached hey wll " be taken up, he said.
Attorney F. E. ers said, last even
ing, that the rei it-sentatlves of this
crusaders wero kept too busy with
the grand Jury to cut out any wvt
work and contented themselves with
laying three or four Informations
against sprak-easy keepers In Alder
man t'nwi! a court. The warrants
will likely be served today. Ho could
not say whether or not the discoveries
mado on Sunday last by tho pickets
who were about to observe the ef
fects ot the crusade would be used ns
evidence.
In the case ot James C. Taylor, ot
Ninth street, who was discharged by
Aldennan Howe, Saturday, because of
an error In tho information, a now
warrant was sworn out charging sell
ing on Sunday.

Resolutions Adopted by Vestry of
Grace Church.
At a meeting of the vestry of Grace
ohurch, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Tor the first time in the histoiy of this paiish,
death has made a vacancy In our vestry. God
has taken to Him.elf our dear hi other, George
W. Filtz, who was a charter member of Grace
church, a eslrjman throughout the whole peiiod
of our cciitence a a paiish and for several jears
one of our waidens.
As his associates in the vestry we desire to
express our deep sense ot our great loss. He
was to each one of us, a personal friend, alnas
kind hearted and sympathetic, not, so much In
words, as In deeds. His departure is to each of
us, a pcroual loss,
In our ve.it ry and in our church, he will be
sadlj missed. Wc shall mls his ripe experience,
his sound judgment, his painstaking labor In our
parih affairs, his loyally to the Iteformed Epis
copal communion, and to the faith once delivered
to the saints, and his geneious contributions. He
obeyed the divine command: "When thou doest
alms, let not thy left hand know what thy light
hand doeth." Wo can testify to his humility, his
patience, his fortitude. We remember how
bravely ho submitted to a series of surgical op
eratlons some li jears ago, nnd how patiently
he endured the malady that afllictrd him.
'Io his soi rowing wife and children wc extend
our heartfelt sympathy and wc commend them
to the tender care ot Dim who doeth alt things
