cursionists had a most enjoyable day's
outing.

CHILD TERRIBLY BURNED.
Distressing Accident to Rose Lochor,
4 Yoar Old Daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Lochor.
Little four-year-old Hose Locher, tho
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Locher, of 119 Penn avenue, while play
ing with several little companions yes
terday morning', tried to build a fire, ai
a result of which her clothing caught
fire, and she was taken to the Lacka
wanna hospital, suffering from terrible
burnS all over her body ami face. The
flesh Is burned to a crisp In several
parts of tho child's body, nnd the hos
pital surgeons yesterday, when asked
whether or not tho child could survive,
looked serious and said they anticipated
the worst.
Mrs. Locher yesterday morning about
11.20 o'clock was busying herself with
bathing and washing the children nni
after little Rose had been taken care
of, she left the house with her little
cousin, Charlie Rapp, who lives nearby.
Together they went Into the lane, In
tho rear of Penn avenue, between Vine
and Mulberry streets, with several
other little ones. W'hllo there they sot
fire to a quantity of loose paper lylnjr
around, and suddenly the dress of Rose,
which was of thin material, becami!
Ignited. In a moment the child was a
mass of Ilnmes. Her young compan
ions tried to extinguish the blaze, but
met with 111 success, little Charlie Rapp
making a heroic effort and having his
fingers severely burned as a result.
Tho cries of the children brought to
the scene Rose's aunt, Mrs. Rapp, who
lives nearby. She picked up a large
piece of carpet and throwing It around
the child extinguished the blaze. The
little one was terribly burned, how
ever, and was straightway taken to the
Lackawanna hospital, where the smart
of the bums was softened end the child
made easier.
The whole affair did not take more
than five minutes, Mrs. Locher saying
that only that period elapsed between
tho time Rose left the house and when
she wns taken to tho hospital.
Roth the father and mother are al
most heart-broken by the sad accident,
and the mother remained at tho hospi
tal all yesterday, sadly watching by the
cot where her little girl lay.

He has no enemitlcs In the party to

CHILDREN'S DAY
WAS OBSERVED.
SPECIAL SERVICES IN A NUM
BER OF THE CHURCHES.
The Sorvlco at tho' Fonn Avonuo
Baptist Church Was Arrangod by
tho Fast or, Rev. Robort F. Y.
Plerco and Was Especially Elabor
ate, Including a Boautlful Electric
Display Sorvices at tho First nnd
Socond Presbyterian Churches and
at the Grace Lutheran.
Children's day was generally ob
served yesterday In a large number of
tho city churches, the exercises In
many Instances being exceedingly elab
orate and In all cases largely attended,
this weather being almost Ideally per
fect. Perhaps the most elaborate service
of all was that given at the Penn Ave
nue llaptlst church under the direction
of Rev. Robert P. Y. Pierce, D. D., the
pastor. This service was especially
arranged by Dr. Pierce for tho Ameri
can Baptist Publication society for use
In all of the llaptlst churches through
out tho country and Is called "Gospel
Rolls."
The church was elaborately decor
ated. On the organ was a largo elec
trical device representing the first bars
of "Joyous Gospel Rolls." The notes
and numerals were composed of Incan
descent lights. At the front of the
platform was arranged another elabo
rate device, which was used In Illus
trating the emblematic piece, "The
Water of Life," which was tho feature
of the service.
This device consisted of a life size
representation of an old-fashioned
well, with Its long pole and other ac
coutrements, the polo resting on a cross
instead of on a forked branch. The
whole was studded with over ISO in
candescent lights.
The various characters represented
In the Illustration of this emblematic
piece were as follows: Leader, Miss
Julia E. Hay; Wealth, Miss Mabel
Hanls; Pleasure, Miss Jennie Rurns;
Fame, Miss Phoebe MacQuaw; Fash
Ion, Miss Ethel V. Grant; education
Miss Delia M. Moore; Burmah, Miss
Evelyn D. Gates; India, Miss Minnie
Powell; China, Miss Mary Davis; Af
rica, Miss Dora Griggs; Islands of the
Sea, Miss Minnie Klefer; Errors'
Chains, Miss Lillian Bates; Mercy,
Miss Louisa Rought.
The leader stood near the well, and
at her side stood Mercy. Each of the
characters advanced wearing crowns
bearing their names upon them. Each
told of their seeking after something
beyond the mere pleasures of this life
and each were In turn permitted by
the leader to drink of tho "Water of
Life," whle'h Is Christ. As each quaffed
the cup their crowns were removed by
Mercy and replaced with others bear
ing the words "Immortality" and
"Eternal Life."
Tho other part of the programme was
also very attractive and was partici
pated In principally by the primary
children, who wore seateel upon tho
platform to the number of 200 or mote.
Supeilntendent Luther Keller acted as
chairman. Among the children who
participated were John Harlow, Dick
son Horton.Hattle Estelle, Ethel Burns,
Mary Everett, Harold Browning and
Alex. Comptnn. The singing of the
children was also an attractive feature
At the close of the legular programme
a brief addiess was made by Rev. O.
P. Fllppo, D. D., of Philadelphia, on
"Tho Missionary Work of the Ameil
can Baptist Publication Society." He
dwelt particularly upon tho work done'
by the society In establishing Sunday
schools In various places throughout
tho country. The society had organ
ized over 12,000 of these since Its in
auguration, ho declared. During the
course of his remarks ho paid a high
tribute to Rev. Dr. Pierce's ability.
First Presbyterian Church.
The Children's Day exercises at the
First Tresbyterlan church were con
ducted in the nfternoon at 4 o'clock
In lieu of the usual evening service,
were largely attended by the mem
bers of the congregation and were
most Interesting nnd enjoyable.
The programme or order of wor
ship used was prepared by Rev. Dr.
James A. Worden, of the Presbyterian
beard of publication and Sabbath
school work. The pulpit and sur
rounding rostum were plentifully and
tastefully decorated with laurel and
tho church presented a most beauti
ful appearance, the children, full of
youthful enthusiasm, belng seated In
the front pews.
The exercises were opened with the
singing of "Forward Re- Our Watch
woid" by tho congtegatlon, after
which tho pastor. Rev. Jumes Mc-Lt-od,
D. D., offered prayer. After the
singing of "Raise the Song of Tri
umph," by the congregation, there
was a responsive Scrlpturo reading,
followed by the singing of the hymn,
"Looking Upward Every Day,"
Several little children, prettily nnd
daintily ntthed, then gave appropriate
recitations. Among these were Mar
gat et Connell, Margueilte Barker and
Harry Pruemer. The recitations, all
of which were, cleverly given, were
followed by tho singing of "We Sing
a Loving Jesus." The exercises of tho
primary department were then given,
under the direction of Mrs. Smith. The
little children sang several hymns In
a pleasing manner, led by William
Myers, and recitations were given by

After the primary exercises, Dr.
Wordon's letter of congratulation and
encouragement, addressed to all the
1'resbytetlan Sunday schools In the
country, wns read and tl.en the pastor
emeritus, Rev. Dr. S, C. Logan, gave
a brief address, In which he told the
children of Christ's wondrous love for
them. A e'ollectlon for tho establish
ment of Sunday schools In the far
west was then tnk"n up, after which
the congregation sang "Put on ' the
Armor of Our God." BMfere the sing
ing of the Doxology, which marked tho
closing exercises, Dr. McLcod, at tho
request of A. W. Dickson, the super
intendent of the Sunday school, who
presided during the services, offered n.

Socond Presbyterian Church.
"The most attractive Children's day
exercises ever conducted In this
church," was the general verdict of all
of the members of the Second Presby
terlnn church who witnessed the splen
did programme presented In that
church yesterday morning by tho chil
dren of tho primary department of the
Sunday school, under the direction of
Prof. J. M. Chance and Miss Mc
Gaughoy. Tho church was simply but beauti
fully decorated. Around tho organ
were entwined daises and ferns, while
other wild flowers were banked up on
either side. The platform was enlarged
antl on this was seated the primary
cIpss, numbeiing some eighty children,
and tho Sunday school orchestra,
which rendered splendid instrumental
music during the service. Superintend
ent James A. Lansing, of the Sunday
school, presided, nnd Miss Mabel Ron
nie played the organ.
After two opening congregational
hymns, a brief address of welcome was
cleverly given by Horace Chandler.
Probably the most enjoyable feature of
tho programme- was the presentation
of (lowers before a picture of Christ
placed upon a table. Those who par
ticipated In this exercise were Beatrice
McComb.Romalne Nazes, Ruth Schults,
Eleanor Benjamin, Anna Hand ana
Helen Nazes. Each child In presenting
the flowers, recited an appropriate
verse.

the part of Prof. Chance. The collec

Grace Luthoran Church.
At the Grace Lutheran church the
day was appropriately observed In the
morning. The church itself was
prettily decorated, roses, palms, ferns
and wild flowers giving the place an
nlr symbolical of the summer season.
The church was crowded when,
Lawrence's orchestra played tho pre
lude, after which Pastor Luther Hess
Wnrlng Invoked blehslng. After the
singing of 11 hymn by the choir and
the reading of the Scripture lesson,
little Roy Linker read Psalm xxlll.

recitations.
The primary school went through
their exercises, under the teacher,

Nazareth" was recited by Irene
I.orenz. and "The Little, Prayer" by
Irene Slebecker.

spoko of the benefits brought to the
world by Christ nnd Christianity,

chatltable Institutions, such as orphan
asylums, homes for the Infirm and

He spoke of the great Francke's or
phnnago at Halle, Germany, whero In

Tho Drawing of Jurors.
Kdltor of The Tribune
Slrt The sharp arraignment by Judge Sauiro
of ono of the Juries drawn before liltn last week,
as repartee! In the dally papers), should makoi
the ears of every Klf-respettlnp tltUcn of this
county tingle'. In clTcct Judge Fawgo eharg.vl
the Jury with lialn! violated their oaths and
rendering a false eidlct. TlMt a e'omar.ithc
stranger, who would naturally shrink fiom
mavlnR such a charge, was niotcd by his Just
Indignation to do so, speaks solumes as to the
character of rrcn who arc selected for Jurors In
this county.
Our own Judge imo over and over again In
recent years condemned In a similar and ccn
more emphatic manner, the unwarranted AcrellcU
of Juries. Kvery honest and solt'respeetl.ig
member of tho bar will conltrm the Judgment
of the courts, thus expresseel, that to n large ex
tent the character of the names selected for
Jury duty Is not such as to Inspire any confi
dence on the pafl of prison practicing In the
courts that verdicts will be mulcted In ac
cordance with, the law nnd cldcncc. Tho re
fponsthlllty for tlds condition ot afllalrs rests
primarily with the people, who haio heretofore
been too Indifferent as to tho character of Jury
commissioners selected.
One-third of tho names placed In the Jury
wheel each jcar are ehosen by one of the mem
bers of tho court, and Ihe rames so chosen Imvo
nlwaji coistltutcel a redeeming leaven In the
make-up of tho juries, but they arc utterly over
whelmed by tho other two-thirds which arc se
lected by Irresponsible, and to use no stronger
expression, unreliable Jury commissioners, litis
arraignment of our Jury panel by a capaldo non
resident Jurist like Judge Saiage, comes rt a
peculiarly fitting time, when the voters of tho
county are upon tho point of selecting new Jury
commissiorers to scne tlietn for n term of tltreo
years. Tho voteis ol the county Imo now

fair eleallr.g; who is 11 candidate for the oWee,
nnt for what is in it, either legally or illrgilly,
but solely in lite Interests ot the- honest admin

If cleeted, to make selection of jurors not from

Letter From President Hughes.
To the Colored Voters of Ijckawanna County:
It Is neither in pioiince nor my purposci to
do inoro than to submit a few facts for jour
candid consideration, tmstltg that you may be
able- to di'coier whether or not there is any
hope this side of the irraic.
The Kejstone ltcpuhllcin club has laboied 111
dcfatlgably to place one of your number upon
the city police toice without success. While it
is necessary in tfie matter of tho appointment
nt a policeman that the major may appoint yet
the couneil of the city mmt confirm In order to
make the appointment valid, the present city
magistrate Is not only now willing to appoint
policemen, one of whom shall be of our race,
liut lias with a hull-elcg pugnacity maintained
this position from tho outset while the couneil
with equal persistency refuses to concede the
proposition upon tho ground that It Is not neces
sary and besides an Increase of considerable
taxation.
I notice the" council refuses at tlds very mo
ment to concur in tho removal of policemen for
eause notwithstanding tho major is the solo
Judge in such matteis. One of jour race In
the person of IMwd Brown, has been suggested
to bis honor, Slayor Jloir, and it Is Just to him
lo say that not cnli- does this name glie him
great satisfaction but It is ono which on more
than one occasion ho declared was fullj- capable
of becoming a city guardian. Hut the most as
tonishing thing in connection with this matter
is that ono colored gentleman openlj- boasts
that no colored man but him shall secure this
prize, unless I mistake, both bis honor, tho
major, and the Keistone Republican club, it
will bo as impossible for this gentleman to
gratify his ambition as it Is to dip tho Missis
sippi river ilrj- with a teaspoon.
This dub. of which I am the honorable etc
entile olHeer, was the first to enelore tho Hon.
William Council fur i duress; Ihouns P. Dan
iels for clilk of the eouits, and .lolm Copeland,
while to tho manr other worthj- candidates was
left a fair field and no faior. The Hon. Will

in this ocngressloinl district, the data of which
no one will gainay.

Its predecessors, hac lgnalizcd tho new cen
tury both tij becoming the legislators whose
Solomon's wisdom must sooner or later ma
terialize and modernize the purpose and policies
of all races of men now ami to come into these
extensile fields of the earth.
Colonel Kzra II. Hippie, who assist Mr. Con
nell in disposing of the multiplicity of questions
aiising eirrj- hour for him to solie, alwajs finds
lime to be- courteous as well as ntTahle lo those
of 11s who happen to call upon him. Doth our
church and our club are indebted to tho gallant
colonel for bis manv deeds of charltj-. What
is thus true of Colonel Hippie is almost true
of both T. P. Panlds and John Copeland.
Then it follows that your few friend who may
aspire for positions stiouhl be cordiallj- support
ed while lour enemies should be sternly re
buked. The charge I boldlj- made that jou
are- not as harmonious as jou ought to be.
To which I reiily that jou nre not onlj- har
monious, but more so than anj- pcoplo in our
cltv and that it is impossible for jou to be
otherwise. To you I deem it my duty to say
jou must not expect ono man to do all the
fighting without jour showing or rendering fomo
assistance. You complain In l'ennsjliania be
cause thcte is a ilenlal of the light to vote by
your people in the south, while here j-ou refuse
to s.ote joiirsclt or attend the manj meetings
we hold In tho city. The Scranton Tribune and
Scranton Republican, both in unmeasured lan
guage haie condemned southerners 'for th"ir
short sightodness in ileprhing jour race of this
Inestimable boon at the south, and j-ct these
papers ask jou to assist them at tho polls
without jour response.
I am glad to say thl statement concerns only
a few of our race and to this few It Is well to
say don't be so loud mouthed about jour not
being able to get any recognition, when tho
failure upon j-our part to concentrate jour
forces is the re-ason of jour seeming defeat.
Your race has neicr been known to entertain
tho folly of planting corn in tho mornln? with
tho expectation of eating that corn for supper.
A little patience and a few- feeble cflortj will
bring desired reward and no one Is more de
sirous than mvself for tho consummation of
these very gratfjing objects.
Truly jour's,
