Licensed Liquor Dealers' association
In bringing about nn agreement among

liven tho speakeasy keepers nre
closing on Sunday. At tho risk of of
fending regular customers of his gro
cery stote, a prominent South Side un
licensed dealer was yesterday refus
ing to "nil cans," saying ho proposed
to observe the Sunday closing hereaft
er. He Is one of the parties who re
fuses to take out a license because so
many holes-ln-the-wall are allowed to
exist In his neighborhood.
A prominent Lackawanna avenue hotel-keeper
had his bar-room wide
open yesterday, but he sold only ci
gars, milk and ice cream. Not even a
glass of ginger ale or soda water could
bo had nnd his bartenders even wero
prevented from getting a drink them
selves, every bit of tho stock being
carried Into the cellar and locked In
a vault, of which tho proprietor car
ried tho onlv key.
The agents of the Men's union wcro
about as usual taking notes and gath

conditions very much Improved, but
whether or not they gathered evidence
of violations they declined to say.

ECLIPSE THIS MORNING.
In Vicinity of Scranton Considerably
Moro Than Half of tho Solar Sur-
faco Should Bo Hidden.
Tho total eclipse of tho sun which
has been announced for this morning
is the nrst ono to be vjslblc In tho
eastern part of this country for over
twenty years, and will bo the last for
eighteen. The favorable position of Its
track will enable Americans to witness
a phenomenon with which they have
long been unfamiliar.
Tho path within which the eclipse will
be total Is not over flfty or sixty miles
wide. It enters tho United States
from the gulf of Mexico, passes over
parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Ala
bama, Georgia, the Cnrollnas and the
extreme southeastern part of Virginia.
Thence It traverses the Atlantic to
Spain and Algeria. EuropeanNobserv-
ers will therefore bo able to see tho
eclipse without great Inconvenience.
The duration of tho total stage will
be little more than one mlnvlo along
tho center of the track and even short
er along the edges. Moro than an hour
will be required for tho moon to com
plete Its work after once It begins to
encroach on the solar disk, and when
It begins to move away another hour
will elapse before tho sun Is entirely
uncovered. Outside the path of totali
ty the eclipse will be visible as a par
tial one. In tho vicinity of this city
more than one half of the solar sur
face should be hidden at the moment
of great obscuration. This should oc
cur hero a few minutes after 9 a. m.
Tho eclipse Is billed to commence at
7.50 o'clock, seventy-flfth meridian
time, and to terminate at 10.3G o'clock.
The moon's shadow will sweep over
the earth at a rate exceeding 3,000
miles nn hour. The rotation of the
earth Itself would furnish 1.000 of this
amount If the sun were directly over
head, and the moon's advance along
Its orbit would bo equivalent to about
2,000 under the same conditions. Hut
as the sunlight and shadow will both
fall slantwise the apparent velocity of
the movement will be greater.
Ono of the most original and Inter
esting ventures on this occasion will
be the effort of Professor Hale, of the
Yerkes Observatory, nnd Professor
Nichols, of Dartmouth, to measure tho
heat radiation from tho corona. This
will be dono with delicate apparatus
that has been employed on stars. The
undertaking Is attended with great
dllllculties, and these experts do not
allow themselves to hopo confidently
for dennlte results.
Tho following special sun eclipse
weather bulletin was Issued by Chief
Moore from Washington last night:
"The weather map this morning gives
practically sure Indications that the
entire lino of the eclipse will have clear
weather. The presence of nn antl-cy-clonlc
system covering the whole south
Atlantic states Insures light variable
winds, moderate temperatures and a
uniform decrease In the vertical gradi
ent. Probably no eclipse ever occurred
under nner seeing conditions than will
exist tomorrow.
ART GALLERY IN DANGER.
Scranton's Artistic Rendezvous Nar
rowly Escapes the Flames.
Scranton's artistic and aesthetic ele
ment would be In gloom this morning
were It not for the timely work of the
central city hose companies hist even
ing shortly nfter 6 o'clock. The only
art gallery In the city had a narrow
escape from being consumed by Are
and that magnincent painting "Love's
Awnkenlng," which must be seen to be
appreciated, of course ehared In this
escape.
Iho above-mentioned art gallery is
located In Jack Skelly's Hon Ton cafe
at 32G Penn avenue, nnd the nto was
on the floor obove It In the rooms oc
cupied by M. Kaplan, as a residence
nnd place of business. The flames
wero started by a child who overturned
a lamp nnd nn alarm to which tho
central city companies responded, was
promptly turned In from box 15. Tho
blaze was kept conflned to two rooms
by tho chemicals and tho damage dono
amounted to about J7B, covered by In
surance.
After tho Are started Kaplan and a
man named Freedman, who lives with
him, had n narrow escape from serious
Injury. They stepped out on tho Iron
roof over tho front' of Iiroad'a restau
rant at 126 to escape tho flames. This
gave way suddenly and It was only by
,ulcl;ly clutching at a railing that tho
men saved themselves from going
through the big plato glass window In
front of the restaurant.

STONE LAID WITH
PITTING CEREMONY
RT. REV. BISHOP IIODAN WAS
IN OUARQE.
Improssivo Exorolsos in Connection
with Laying tho Corner Stono of
tho Now Church of St. John, tho
Evangolist, in South Scranton.
Wore Attendod by a Vory Largo
Gathering Sorvicos at tho Church
Wero Preceded by a Parado of
i
Catholic Sociotios.
Tho corncr-stono of the new Church
of St. John, tho Bvangellst, on tho
southeast corner of Plttston avenue
ana Fig street, was laid yesterday af
ternoon with appropriate ceremony by
nt. Hev. Illshop M. J. Hoban, assisted
by a number of the, clergymen of tho
diocese, In the presence of an enormous
throng of people.
Prior to tho laying of tho stone, a
street parade was held on Plttston ave
nue, passing tho church and counter
marching un the avenue ngaln. This
parade was headed by John Gibbons,
the grand marshal, and his aides, all
on horseback. Following these same
the Forest band and then the St. Paul's
Pioneer corps, of West Scranton, whose
evolutions evoked much npplauso all
along the lino of march.
Tho other societies in line were as
follows- Holy Name, of the cathedral;
St. Aloystus cadets, St. Patrick's Total
Abstinence and Uenevolcnt society, St.
Peter's Total Abstinence nnd Benevo
lent society, Divisions Nos. 17, 22, 23
and 32, Ancient Order of Hibernians;
Columbus council, Young- Men's insti
tute. There were several bands In lino,
Including tho Cumberland. The Holy
Name society, under the leadership of
Rev. J. A. O'ltellly, dropped out of lino
as they passed the church and grouped
themselves around tho temporary plat
form which had been erected. They
sang several selections during tho ex
ercises, Including "Nearer My God to
Thee."
Tim cnnEMONrco.
Tho ceremonies pioper wero begun
about 3.30 o'clock, when tho bishop, at
tended by Rev. N. J. McManus nnd
Rev. P. E. Lavelle, descended Into tho
basement of tho church, directly under
the spot where the altar will be located,
and blessed the foundations. Tho fol
lowing vestured priests accompanied
the bishop: Hev. J. J. Loughran, Rev.
J. A. Moffat, Rev. Georgo Stopper, Rev.
John Frlcker, Rev. Walter A. Gorman,
Rev. M. It. Donlan, Rev. J. J. Dunn,
Rev E. A. Garvey and Rev. P. J.
Gough.
Tho crush of people nround the plat
form was enormous when tho bishop
ascended and, with the solemn ritual of
the Catholic church, laid the stone. The
stone had been hollowed out and In It
was placed a box contnlnlng copies of
the local papers, cblns, n history of tho
church, the names of the parish com
mittee nnd a document containing the
names of the president, governor and
mayor, and tho namo of the church
with the date of tho ceremony.
The sermon of tho day was then
preached by Rev. J. J. McCabe, of
Auburn, Pn formerly an assistant of
the present pastor of St. John's, Itov.
E. J. Melley. Father McClibe took hli
text from the flrst epistle of St. Peter,
chapter 2, verse 6: "Wherefore, also It
Is contained In tho Scripture, behold
I lay In Zlon a chief corner-stono, elect,
precious; nnd he that belleveth on him
shall not bo confounded." In commenc
ing, he said:
"This occasion Is ono of great Joy,
because It marks an epoch In the his
tory of St. John's parish which has
outgrown the limits of Its present
church and Is now seeking a more pre
tentious and substantial structure. It
Is a day of great Joy, also, because
when this structure Is completed It
means tho diffusion of religion and tho
diffusion of well-doing, which Is tho
cause of all real Joy." Continuing, ho
said:
TEMPLE OF THE LIVING GOD.
"In tho psalms which have been sung
nnd In the prayers which have been
said today, frequent reference has been
made to that other temple, the mystic
temple of the living God. Tho stono
that has been laid today is typical of
Him, for He Is the corner-stono of that
other temple. This Is a metaphor,
both ancient and apt. Jesus Christ Is
tho corner-stone because tho church
rests on Him, who Is tho author of
faith and of all the graces. Jesus Christ
Is the coiner-stone because there can bo
no other foundation laid where one Is
already placed." In conclusion, Father
McCabe said:
"In conclusion, I must say n word of
encouragement to the pastor nnd to
you, his flock. Twenty-flve years ago
ho prostrated himself at the altar of
God and consecrated his young life to
the upbuilding of the church of God.
Ills zeal nt flrst may havo been like a
flickering blaze, but It has now mel
lowed down to a good, steady, warming
flame, which warms the hearts of nil
with whom he comes In contact. It
would be presumption on my part to
say more to him than God-speed.
"To you, who havo Intrusted your
confidence in him for tho past ten
years, I would say, sustain his hands.
Unless you do, there Is no hopo that
the work begun today will bo com
pleted. Grow not tired with well-doing,
nnd remember that when the church Is
finished nnd consecrated, It will bo use
less without a multitude of devout peo-

THE ORIENTAL DANCE.
Mayor James Moir Says Ho TJoosn't
Llko tho Hootcheo-Cootchoo.
Mayor James Molr attended tho Elks'
Midway carnival Saturday night, and
while there dropped into the Streets of
Cairo. Ho was Inveigled Into the llttlo
side show nttached to the exhibition, at
which a barker announced thnt an
Oriental dance would be given.
What tho mayor saw In tho tcnli evi
dently Bhocked him to a serious extent,
nnd he yesterdny expressed himself re
garding It In a most vigorous manner.
Said he: "They had three Eastern wo
men In .there who gave a most degrad
ing exhibition. It was what they call
the er-er-hootcho-cootcheo dance. I
never saw ono before and don't want
to see any more."
"Why7" Interjected ono of those
present at thin point, "they did that
down to the Gaiety theator dozens ot
times last season."
"Well," teplled his honor, and there
was a steely glint In his eye, "they
won't do It this season. I never had
any Idea that such a vulgar and dis
gusting spectacle was being presented
around tho city."
GOODS WERE ATTACHED.
Bostock Had to Settle with tho Elks
Before Ho Could Got Out of
tho City.
It was not until 2 o'clock vestorday
afternoon that the last of tho Bostock
show got started from this city. An
unsettled claim of $1,000 presented by
the Elks occasioned tho delay.
The show, it will bo remembered,
was two days Into In reaching hero
and as its management had guaran
teed six dally performances, the Elks
laid claim to damages for breach of
contract, flxlnc the amount of what
their share of tho proceeds would bo
for two days, taking the smallest day's
profits as the basis of computation.
Bostock held that he was not liable,
as the contract stipulated he should
not be held responsible for a railroad
delay. Tho Elks contended that his
lateness In arriving was not the fault
of tho railroads, but due to theo fail
ure of the management to pay some
freight charges, which resulted In tho
show car3 being held up.
At a meeting between a committee
of tho Elks and Mr. Bostock. Satur
day afternoon, the latter refused to
consider the damage claim at all,
whereupon tho Elks, through Attor
ney D. J. Reedy, securea from Judge
Atchbald a $1,000 attachment on the
show company's goods and placed It In
the hands of Acting Sheriff F. E.
Ryan.
Deputy Sheriff George Pryor, accom
panied by Hon. C. P. O'Malloy, of
Wlllard, Warren & Knapp, counsel for
the sheriff, were on the show grounds
at the close 'of the- last performance
nnd levied on enough of tho property
to cover the amount of the claim. The
iron cage and the tent covering It,
In which the trained animal exhibition
Is given, together with Mr. Bostock's
private house-wagon, which was given
to his father by Queen Victoria, were
seized upon as appropriate things to
be nttached. The rest of the goods
were allowed to bo loaded on tho
trains. At 10 o'clock a. m. the Ferrari
part of tho show, which goes to
Wllkes-Barre, was gotten under way,
but the Bostock end of It, which goes
to Newark, could not depart without
the extremely essential exhibition cage
nnd Queen Victoria's gift and Bostock
had to come to terms. A compromise
was reached about noon, and a few
hours later the show departed.
The Elko do not know as yet Just
how they stand financially on their
big venture. It Is thought, though,
that they will make a little money.
Hnd thre been a full week of perfor
mances, preceded by a parade ruch as
was contracted for, there would as
suredly have been good sized returns.
At ltlchmond, Vn., where the show
was glvin Just before Its coming to
Scianton. Bostock's share of tho profits
alone was $30,000. The Elks received
eighty per cent, of the gate receipts
and twenty per cent, ot the money
taken In at the various inside shows.
JOLLY ON THE RAMPAGE.
Tried to Kill His Trainer Yoatorday
at Noon.
Excitement was caused yesterday at
noon nt the Midway Carnival's grounds
by the nttompt of the big elephant,
Jolly, to kill Trainer St. John, who
was In charge of him. He hurled the
man to tho ground, butted him with
his tusks, but was stopped before h
could trample on him by other train
ers who were In the neighborhood,
Tho animal Is the largest carried by
the menagerie and Is used In pulling
the wagons, shoving cars around and
doing other work. He also does a spe
cialty act. in the Trained Animal
Arena, where he does a cake-walk and
minuet, and several other real cute
things.
Another Incident of tho carnival oc
curred Saturday night, when Fatlma
escaped from her keeper, and made
things lively about the Midway. Fatlma
Is a big, unwieldy cinnamon bear that
appears at Wombold's menagerie and
does tho danse du ventre. Fatlma,
however, decided that she wanted a
wider scope for her talents, and es
caping from her keeper, Captain Law
rence, went lumbering out on tho Mld
.way. Sho wore a short frock, a bonnet
and a muzzle, and for three minutes
there was a sprinting exhibition In her
neighborhood. Sho was halted at last
In her wild career and hauled back to
captivity, whllo big drops of salt water
coursed down her muzzle.
Ono of tho camels born while the
mcnagerlo was en routo hero from
Richmond, Va,, died during tho exhibi
tion hero.

HATTON HAS NOT RESIGNED.
Mayor Moir Says Ho Knows Noth
lnj of the Story.
Asked, yesterday, whether or not
there was any truth In tho Btory that
his secretary, Harry C. Hatton had
been aBked to resign, Mayor Molr said:
"Mr. Hatton has not resigned nnd I
do not knovy anything about the mat
ter pxcept what I saw In tho Sunday
papers."
What gave rise to the story Is not
known. Various yarns of a somewhat
similar nature were afloat during the
wpfik.
ENUMERATORS SOON
TO BEGIN WORK
FINAL INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN
BY SUPERVISOR EDWARDS.
Appointmonts Mads of Several Enu
merators, Interpreters and Assist
ant Supervisor Publlo Can Do
Much Towards Making1 tho Consus
a Success--What tho Objects of the
Federal Consus Aro Constitu
tional Necosslty, Study of Facts
nnd Study of Causes.
About ono hundred of tho ccnim
enumerators appointed by Supervisor
John R Edwards assembled In tho
board of trade rooms Saturday after
noon for tho purpose of becoming ac
quainted and obtaining whatever addi
tional Information that was possible by
co-operating nnd discussing tho work
which will begin an over tho United
States on Friday of this week.
Tho meeting wns helpful to many
who have districts where some con
fusion might arise, and the matter of
obtaining interpreters for localities
where foreigners predominate was also
mado clear to tho enumerators. On the
whole, all of the men who have been
selected to take tho census are Intelli
gent, active and now thoroughly famil
iar with the work after months of In
struction. It now remains for tho people to help
the enumerators In compiling tho nec
essary statistics, and in arranging for
tho details In case of absence from the
city or other cases where dwelling.?
havo been closed for tho summer
months. There are many questions to
be answered, but people must not
blame tho enumerator If they seem Im
pertinent. Tho law requires people to
answer them, and the census taker Is
pledged to absolute secrecy In record
ing the answers.
Tho accuracy with which the enu
meration will be made Is particularly
of Interest to Scrantonlans In view of
tho fact that this city will bo in the
second class If a population over 110,
000 is recorded. If tho county of Lacka
wanna contains over 150,000 Inhablt-
ants, the positions of sheriff, district
attorney and county commissioners will
become salaried ofllces.
APPOINTMENTS MADE.
Supervisor Edwards will meet the
enumerators In Carbondalo this even
ing. Olyphant tomorrow evening and
Taylor Thursday evening. The follow
ing additional appointments havo been
made:
Second Assistant Supervisor, Miss Florence
Glbbs of West Scranton.
Enumerators Random, Victor A. Mayer; Scran
ton, Second ward, Fifth district, John V. Me
Gowan; Seventeenth ward, First district, J. I.
Tcedalo; Seventeenth ward. Third district, R.

Biancardi.
The objects of the federal census are
of three kinds: To furnish a basis for
the apportionment of representatives
In the lower house of Congress; to as
certain the growth of the United
States in numbers, wealth, and indus
try; and to Investigate the social or
ganizations and institutions which de
termine the growth of population and
wealth. Tho flrst Is a constitutional
necessity, tho second a study of facts,
and the third a study of causes.
Probably no social institution is so
Intimately connected with tha growth
of population as that of marriage. In
Investigating marital conditions tho
law requires about each person a
statement whether he or she- Is single,
married, widowed or divorced; if mar
ried, how many years the marriage
has lasted; if a mother, how many
children she has had, nnd how many
of these children are now living.
QUESTIONS DETDItMINED.
From tho answers to the Questions'
it Is possible to determine the birth
rate, the prevalence of marriage, the
proportion of women nnd children to
the whole population, the duration and
frultfulness of marriage. So far as
the power and Importance of nations
ait dependent upon the size of the
population, to that extent Is tho ac
curate determination of these ques
tions a matter of public necesn4ty.
In the United States there would
seem to be llttlo danger of a decline
In tho population. But even when wo
