THOSE WHO LEAVE HOME Are Roquostod to Eoavo with a Neighbor tho Facts Census Enu merators Will Require. The count of the people in the United States will begin in all parts of tho country Juno 1, and end in the cities two weeks later and in the rest of tho country before tho close of the month. The people nre to bo counted at their places of residence, but as many per sons and families will be away from their homes during June there is some danger that such persons will not be counted. If they are not counted the locality in which they live will bo misrepre sented to that extent, and in some cases this misrepresentation may be enough to affect the representation in congress of the state from which they come. Local pride and state pride, there fore, should influence all such absen tees to take reasonable precautions against being omitted from enumera tion In their places of residence. Such omissions are most likely to occur in the large cities where families close their homes and go elsewhere for the summer. The occurrence of the Paris exposition this year is likely to In crease the number absent from the country. In all cases of contemplated absence tho head of the family is requested by tho census office to communicate with the supervisor of the district in which he lives. He is also requested to leave information regarding his answers to the questions which nre to be asked with some responsible neighbor who will agree to see that It reaches tho enumerator on his rounds. Suclt In formation might better be loft a3 a memorandum In writing, as in that case it Is less likely to bo overlooked. The questions to which answers aro desired apply primarily to tho popula tion, but also to all farms and manu facturing establishment.". They are being published fiom time to time in the press of the country. By taking this trouble the absent cit izen will do justice to his locality and his state, and materially aid the cen sus office n tho performance of its duties. This district comprises tho counties of Lackawanna, Pike and Monroe, and tho supervisor Is Attorney John It. Edwards, of this city. EXTRA GUARDS APPOINTED. Prison Board Takes Steps to Pre vent Escapes. At a meeting of the prison board, held on Saturday in the county commission ers' olllce, three new guards were ap pointed to look after the prisoners at work on the roads. Those appointed were Henry Loftus, B. E. Hughes and David Evans. This course was decided upon as the result of Charles Miller's successful escape lat Thursday. The board, at the suggestion of Judge Archbald, derided to make an examplu of Miller If he Is captured. He will be tried for escaping, and will probably live to regret the day he ever ran away. H. E. Paine, president of the Ablng ton Turnpike company, appeared be fore the board and requested that somo of the prisoners be put at work on that portion of the turnpike road lying within the city limits. The city con tracted to keep this part of the road In repair, but has not done so. Mr. Paine said he would furnish the stone if thj county would furnish the labor. Warden Simpson was instructed to ascertain how many more prisoners aro capable of working on the road and to report tho same at tho next meeting. POLICE PICKINGS. Michael Delaney was arraigned before Mayor Moir jesterday morning and held for a further hearing on charges preferred by bis wife and daughter.

Was tho Third of a Sorios of Sermons on European Sundays Rov. Mr. Waring Spoake from Personal Ob servation nnd Oavo a Most Inter esting Description of tho Colo brated Churches of Paris and of tho French Religious Character istics As He Viowod Thorn. Itev. Luther Hess Waring, pastor of the Grace Evangelical Lutheran church, preached the third of his series of sermons on European Sundays last night, taking as his theme "A Sunday In Paris." Hew Mr. Waring has been a wide traveler and what he says is from personal observation. After referring at some length to the peculiarities of tho French charac ter, ho commented upon Its fickleness and said that the French were very quick to change from the secular lo the religious, nnd from tho religious to the secular, Just as they have changed their form of government so muny times from republic to empire and from empire to republic. "One need not go to the churches," said he, "to study the religious life of Paris. I remember walking through the Palais de Justice and noticing in every court room behind the Judge's bench, a life size picture of the cru cifixion, placed there with the evi dent view of Impressing the minds of Judge, Jury and all Interested parties that there was One always watching thorn." ATTENDED SERVICE. He described visiting one church on Sunday morning in April, tho Ameri can Baptist church, of which Rev. Mr. Thurber Is pastor. In tho afternoon of that day he attended an American Sunday school and later a Christian Endeavor meeting. There were only forty-two In attendance at tho Sunday school nnd only twenty-seven at tho Christian Endeavor meeting, but It was Inspiring to hear "Throw Out the Life Line" and other familiar hymns sung In tho very center of gay, frivo lous Paris. There are In the city some five or six English Episcopalian churches and English Congregational, one American Roman Catholic, one Scotch Presby terian and a number of English and American Lutheran churches. "There are In Paris," said tho speaker, "many agnostics, and there aro many moro who nre indifferent to the claims of Christ. Many of tho churches suffer ed heavily during the wars, sieges. In surrections and reigns of terror which Paris has been (lie scene, but tho ma jority of these still remain, having In later years been restored and redec orated. " Tho church of the Madeline, or of Mary Magdalene.ls probably tho hand somest and most famous of all the churches in Paris. The foundations were commenced in 17G4, but tho church was not completed until sixty years ago. It Is 3C0 feet long, and Is built en tirely of stone. "A peculiar fact about this church," said Rev. Mr. Waring, "la that it has no windows." Another beautlful.church Is that of St. Eustace, which is over MO years old. Ho described being in the Church of La Trlnlte, which is a now structure, while preparations were being made for an elaborate funeral. The whole church was being heavily draped with black and a magnificent bier had been erected in the center of tho church on which tho body reposed, surrounded by Innumerable candles. NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL. Tho Cathedral of Notre Dame, said he, is one of the most historic churches In the world and was erected In 1103. It passed into the hands of tho revo lutionists during tho French revolution and was made a Temple of Reason with a ballet girl enthroned as the Goddess of Reason. While In the church of St. Sophia, Rev. Mr. War ing Bald he witnessed n most unique sight. As the sexton was passing the plate there walked in front of him a richly uniformed warder who pounded on the floor with a staff to announce tho sexton's coming. He told of tho mingling of the rich and tho poor In the Paris churches, and how the lady In her silks and sat ins nnd the street waifs might bo seen kneeling beside one another and wor shipping the same God. In conclusion be described a visit made by him on a Sunday afternoon to the little ceme tery in which Ho the remains of La fayette, "the greatest and truest friend this country had in the days of its in fancy." RELIGIOUS NEWS NOTES. ltc J. II. Hell spoke last night In the Howard riaee African Methodist Episcopal church.

Walker, Callicoom DEroT, N. Y. THE SEMINARY FUND. Rev. Dr. Samuol Moore Spoke in Behalf of the Kingston Institu tion in Elm Park Church. Rev. Dr. Samuel Moore, financial secretary of the Wyoming Seminary, occupied tho pulpit yesterday at Elm Park church In place of Dr. L. L. Sprague, whose presence had been an nounced. Dr. 'Moore was for many years a member uf the Wyoming con ference, but went on the frontier of the Pacific coast, whore he did remark able work until his health compelled a return. Ho was pastor at Hyde Park In 1S77, and financial agent of the Puget Sound university and presiding elder of the Tacoma district for somo years Recently ho was pastor at Norwich. N. Y until belns appointed In his uresent capacity this year. He delivered a brief sermon yester day morning from John 11, Iv, "Jesus said untu her: 'Said I not unto the-J that If thou wouldst believe thou shouldst see the glory of Cod?' " Tho address van an emphatic plea for moro belief In God and the allusion to tho raising of Lazarus was made the basis of the thought. The hpf-akor asserted that the lack of greater success In the churches Is due to lack of belief In God, and this ability to aid in time of difficulties. The loss of his own young duughter by death was made the point of a touching Illustration. The service was closed by a description of the twen tieth century movement, the winning of two millions of souls and the thank olferlng of twenty millions of dollars. The speaker recounted the growth of Methodism In this country In the cen tury past, at the beginning of which were less than 65,000 members, a little handful of ministers nnd the ashes, only, of one school. There was but little church property, the services be ing held in school houses, private dwellings and grove3. Education could scarcely bo said to exist. Now the church has fourteen or fifteen great branches and Is almost the first, If not the first, In the Protestant de nomination. There ure 250 million dol lars Invested In church property and schools of all grades fill the land, so that even tho poorest may have edu cational advantages In the church sem inaries, colleges and universities. The past record of saving souls by tho multitude of evangelistic methods, Is superseded by personal work. God's way today Is that each Christian shall seek to save his friend, his neighbor. The history of Wyoming Seminary was then briefly given. Fifty-six years ago It consisted of one building, costing $3,000, which was a large sum then. It was burned to the ground and rebuilt by Dr. Nelson and Mr. Swetland. In '03 It was again burned and again rebuilt, the same men aid ing the work of adding to its use fulness. Now it Is second to none a3 a preparatory sqhool and last year had 100 students enrolled. It Is proposed to secure an endowment fund of $200, 000, giving an annual Income of $10,000. Most of this endowment must come from tho region between Carbondalo and Nnntlcokc. It is desired to secure gifts of $1,000 each, on which the honor is simply to pay $r.Q per year as a scholarship, vthleh furnishes tuition for a poor stu dent. A gift of $2,000 will bring $1U0 per year from tho donor, and the prin cipal In each case may be paid at the donor's pleasure. Dr. Moore will remain some days In the ciey to canvass for tho semi nary Interests. EVANGELIST WILLIAMS' WORK Programme Mapped For Him This Weok. .Tho drummer evangelist, Rev. W. II. Williams, Is being kept busy by the churches, holding Anti-Saloon League meetings. Ho came in Saturday even ing last from Montrose, where ho or ganized a league of 135 members, made up of many of the best business men of that place as members. On Satur day night last he conducted a gospel service at tho Rescue Mission. Sev eral men came forward for prayers and made an effort to quit romping with tho tiger. Yesterday Mr. Williams spoke three times In Plttston, morning and night In the First Baptist church, and at 3.20 p. m. at the Young Men's Chris tian association.

Phillips tho Now School Controller from tho Fifth Ward Tho Prosont Acting Shoriff of tho County Hon. Nelson F. Underwood Is Visiting His Son, Dr. Underwood. City Contrpller Esdras Howell, who has recently pleased all the mlnework ers In tho county by certifying, before the proper time, the contracts for two largo sewers, so that tho striking miners of the Mt. Pleasant mine could be put to work upon them, Is without a doubt tho most good-natured man In tho entire city. If nnyone doubts this, just lot them be In his company for Just about three minutes and they will havo nil their doubts dispelled. Ho has never been known to engage in any conversation for a longer period than five minutes without laughing, and his laugh is as sincere and as hearty as ever a laugh can bo. In fact, ho laughs himself through life. If you meet him on the street, In the street car, or In the barber shop, he can't even say "good morning" or "good evening" without laughing, and there's not a pleasanter home In the city than his. The controller Is only a little bit over four feet tall, but he has managed to make himself a pretty big man In municipal affairs. He has taken de termined stand on a good many points, and he hasn't budged from any posi tion he has taken until compelled to tin so by court. It Is generally conceded that there has never been a more care ful audit of city accounts than under his direction. New systems have to a large extent been Introduced Into the office since he assumed Tils position, and these have tended to greatly facilitate tho work of supervision and to lessen tho possibility of mistake. It will be remembered that the con troller secured the Democratic nomina tion very easily, and there are rumors already afloat that he will be tho next Democratic candidate for mayor. John H. Phillips, who was elected to fill the unexpired trim of the late D. I. Phillips on the Scranton board of control, as the representative from tho Fifth ward. Is one of tho best known men In West Scranton, where he has been n resident all his life. He has been a letter carrier In this city ever since the free delivery system was In augurated, and Is one of tho most act ive workers In tho ranks of tho mall carriers. As a delegate to the (national con vention of letter carriers, held at Toledo In 189S. Mr. milllps was In strumental In bringing the convention to Scranton In 1S93, and to his efforts much of the success of the celebration here last year was due. Controller Phillips Is an unassuming young man. courteous, conscientious and hard working official, and is In every way qualified to fulfill the duties devolv ing upon him through the untimely death of his brother. Mr. Phillips Is a past president of tho Robert Morris lodge of Ivorltes.a mem ber of Hyde Park lodge. Free 'and Ac cepted Masons, and Is prominently identified with city politics. He Is a Republican, and has never held a pub lie office before. He will bo the super intendent of the RUb-postofllco which will bo located In West Scranton In the near future. It will be a position of great Importance, and will call for a display of the executive ability ho Is so abundantly supplied with. Somo few men really do not like to see their names In print, nnd occupy ing a very prominent place In that very pronounced minority Is the actlns sheriff of Lackawanna county, Frank Ryan. That Is the principal reason tho public seldom sees any refer ence to him In the newspapers, ex cept when his name is essen tial to an item of news. He Is one of the most popular men regularly en countered by the reporters, and It would be a matter of real pleasuro to them to occasionally vent their appre ciation of his favors In a pleasant per sonal paragraph or two, but an early realization of tho fact that this sort of thing Is far from being to his liking results In the reporter having to bo content to mention him only when there Is an actual necessity for so doing, For the purpose of broadening his acquaintanceship, newsraper notice would be a waste of space. He knows and Is known by everyone, It might be said, worth knowing In all the region 'round, and among his closest "cronies" are somo of the county's most promi nent citizens, This Is especially true of the old-timers, and scarcely a day passes that some of them do not drop into the sheriff's office to Join him In a reminiscent chat, or a discussion on current events. He Is n veritable mine of Information on local persons and thlrtgs, and his knowledge Is remark able for Its completeness. This, coupled with an Interesting way he has of spinning a yarn, assures him eager ears, when, with his Invariable "Well, do you know, sir?" he wheels around from his desk and begins a yarn and takes a turn In a discussion.

For several terms Mr. Underwood represented his district of Wayne county at Harrlsburg, and for the past seventeen years he has been .1 member of tho state board of agricul ture. Each election was a case of the office seeking tho man, Mr. Underwood never having been a political worker. Mr. Underwood Is the owner of hun dreds of acres ot beautifully wooded and farm land surrounding Lake Conin, over In Wayne, although for years he has given up farming and has only given his time to his legislative duties. He Is a naturalist and an antiquarian, and has a collection of Indian relics, stones, ores, mosses and fossils which would probably rival the famous Hoi lister collection. Mr. Underwood Is at present living in Elmlra. EVANS GEl'S A VERDICT. Finding of tho Jury in tho North Washington Avonuo Grading Case Other Civil Matters. A verdict of $20 for the plaintiff was returned Saturday afternoon In the damage suit of L. R. Evans against the city of Scranton and others. It was subject, however, to a reserved law point on which Judge John P. Kelly will fclve an adjudication later. This point Is embraced In the ques tion of whether or not the fact that flying debris from a blast struck a house Is prima facie evidence of neg ligent blasting. Tf the judge finds that It Is not the- verdict will fall. The "and others" of the defense were the various land and Improvement companies and individual property holders along the line of tho extension of North Washington avenue, where the Improvements were made, and C. R. Kinsley, the contractor who did the work. Neither side caused the con tract to bs put In evidence, and the only other means the plaintiff had of connecting the property holders with the contract was Mr. Kinsley's memory of those who had paid him. Of all the parties included In the big list of de fendants, Victor Koch and P. P. Smith, the insurance man, were the' only ones he mentioned as having paid him. Consequently these two, with Mr. Kinsley, were the only defendants left when tho case went to the Jury. Sev eral of the land companies, so-called, were, by Mr. Kinsley's admissions, placed on the same footing with Messrs. Koch and Smith, but when It came to making them culpable de fendants, a snas was encountered in tho shape ot an inability on tho part of the plaintiff to show that any of them were incorporated and liable to be sued, LETTER TO THE MAYOR.
