.OENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Number of Matters Considered
at
Yesterday's Meeting.
Tho Central Labor union yesterday
decided to more energetically take up
thn grlcvuncc ot tho theatrical em
ployes and attempt to satisfactorily ad
Just tho lattera' dlfHoulties with the
Lyceum and Academy of Music. An
attempt will be made by the executive
committee to secure a conference with
tho management ot tho theaters.
A communication was received from
the United Mlno Workers extending
an Invitation to nil labor organiza
tions to participate In Wednesday's big
parade. This was accepted and re
ferred to a committee on arrangements,
consisting of O. II. Gothlcr, J, F.
Hammos and F. 8. Sherman, who will
Issue a call to all labor organizations
to meet at the Central Labor union
quartet on Wyoming avenue at 1.30
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, when
they will be met by a band to lead
them In the parade.
The Glass Workers' union, of Hones
dale, who, since last April, have been
on strike against T. B. Clark & Com
pany, presented a grievance at the
meeting. They claim that In several
Instances union men are harboring
"scab" glass workers, boarding and
lodging them and aiding them In vari
ous ways. The Central Labor union
decided to Investigate this and will
endeavor to bring an end to this state
of affairs. The glass workers were or
ganized last December.
The carpenters' unions have decided
to circulate a petition among the busi
ness men of the city asking for their
signatures. The petition requests that.
In order to bring to an end the present
disagreement existing between tho car
penters and builders, henceforth when
any contractors or day work, either
new or repair, be nllotcd, It be specified
that none but union labor bo employed.
Tho carpenters believe that if they dan
secure sufllclcnt signatures to this an
agreement will soon be arrived at.
SCHOLARSHIPS IN DEMAND.
Nearly All the Tribune's Contestants
Were Working for Education.
All the contestants In The Tribune's
Educational Contest have now select
ed their special rewards, and the re
sult shows that nearly all were work
ing for the scholarships. David V. Eirt
ley, who came third, Just missed the
two leading scholarships, but Is natur
ally much pleased with the elegant
piano, which will be delivered to his
home today. Miss Mary Yeager took
the course of musical instruction and
both Eugene Boland and Oliver Calla
han preferred the scholarship in the
' Scranton Business College to a $75 bi
cycle. Miss Jennie Meyers, who was
also anxious to secure the shorthand
scholarship in this college, has dis
posed of the $50 gold watch to good
advantage and arranged to take the
coure. This speaks well for the popu
larity of the Scranton Business College
and demonstrates that the young peo
ple of our city and vicinity have laud
able ambitions. David C. Spencer, of
Bloom'sburg, worked hard to secure the
scholarship in the Bloomsburg State
Normal school, but was handicapped
by being located at such a distance
from Scranton. He took his defeat
philosophically, however, and at once
wrote a warm letter of congratulation
to Arthur Kemmerer, of Factoryvllle,
tho fortunate winner. Miss Grace Slm-
rell, of Carbondale, preferred the last
gold watch to tho camera, and was
much pleased with her reward, as was
also Harry Reese, who secured the
latter. The following note has been
received from Miss Simrcll:
Carbondale, Pa., Oct. 3, 1900.
Tribune Publishing Co., Scranton, Pa.
Dear Sirs: Through the medium of your valu
able paper allow me to express my thanks to
the many friends who so generously" assisted me
in the Scranton Tribune's recent contest.
With best wishes for your continued success, I
m, Sincerely yours,
Grace Simrell.

DEATH OF HENRY COOK.
Was Found Unconscious Below "Red
Bridge" at Taylor.
Henry Cook, a well known resident
of Mlnooka, who was found uncon
scious at the red bridge below Taylor
about 6.30 o'clock Friday evening, ly
ing between the tracks of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western rail
road and the Jersey Central, died Sat
urday morning. James Frealey, a car
inspector of the Central railroad, found
Mr. cook lying between the tracks un
conscious with no apparent injuries ex
cept a slight contusion on the head.
Dr. J. J. Walsh, of South Scranton,
was summoned, but In spite of his ef
forts was unable to restore Cook to
consciousness.
Dr. Walsh gives as his theory for Mr.
Cook's death that the latter, while
walking along the tracks, was struck
by an engine and heavily thrown, strik
ing on his head. This caused concus
sion of the brain and subsequent death.
He scouts the idea of any foul play
in the case.
Deceased was 42 years of ago and
married. Besides his widow and a
large family, ho Is survived by his
mother and the following brothers and
sisters: Mrs. John Schofleld, Mrs.
Patrick Connolly, Patrick Cook, of
South Scranton, and Thomas Cook nf
Lnllln. The funeral announcement will
bo made later.
Tho coroner has not done anything
In the matter, not having as yet been
notified of the death.

WILL ASK LEAVE
TO WITHDRAW CASE
,..
EVERHART SUIT TO RECEIVE
CONSIDERATION TODAY.
It Is the First Case on the List and
an Effort Will Be Made to Oet the
Court to Agree to Allow the Prose
cution to Be Dropped Verdict in
Favor of Jonas Long's Sons Re
turned Saturday Alice Frey Dis
charged from Custody.
One of the most Important sessions
of criminal court cvor convened since
the birth of the county opens today.
There are 477 cases on the list, and In
cluded Among them ore all tho bribery,
gambling and Illegal liquor selTngcifoi
Instigated by tho Men's union nnd
Municipal laaguc.
Tho list Is headed by the celebrated
Everhart case, In which Edwin E.
Everhart Is charged with conspiracy to
murder his father. It Is probable, how
ever, that this case will not go to trial,
as the young man's father Is dlsoosed
to.droj) the prosecution If he can secure
tho court's acquiescence. The prose
cutor would not say yesterday whether
or not It was truo he Intended to with
draw ,the charge. The defendant says
It Is true, and has ordered the jail
authorities to have his clothes ready
for him this morning.
Even though, tho conspiracy case
should . be quashed, young Everhart
would yet find obstacles In his path to
freedom. One of them Is a verdict of
$1,000 awarded against him In the suit
brought by Philip IUnsland for alien
ating .Mrs. Rlngland's affections. An
other is a $5,000 breach of promise suit
instituted by Mrs. IUnsland.
This latter suit may not be much ot
a hindrance, as It has been attacked on
the ground that the promise, if one was
made, was made by a co-respondent In
a divorce suit to tho respondent in the
same suit, and under the law of Penn
sylvania, it Is alleged, such a promise
can not be made the basis of breach of
promise proceedings. On Mrs. Rlns
land's Dart It will be contended that
the promise was made in Now York
state and therefore Is not affected by
the Pennsylvania law In question.
A hearing- in the matter was hart
Saturday, and a further hearing will
be had this morning before a full
bench.
Joseph O'Brien and M. J. Martin,
who with W. W. Baylor are attorneys
for Dr. Everhart in the prosecution of
tho conspiracy case, are conducting the
attack on the breacp of promise suit.
Mrs. Rlnsland, the plaintiff In the
breach of promise suit, is represented
by Vosburg & Dawson, who were at
torneys for Philip Rlnsland In the
divorce proceedings against Mrs. Rlns
land and the trespass Droceedings
against young Everhart for alienating
Mrs. Rinsland's affections.
Besides the Everhart case, the first
week's list contains the Ames-Knapp
adultery cases from Forest City, the
"Yellow Kids" robbery cases, nnd a
whole raft of speakeasy and Sunday
liquor selling cases. The bribery cases
are down for next week.
President Judge R. W. Archbald,
President Judge Cyrus Gordon, of
Clearfield county, and President Judge
Jonn Q. Love, of Centre county, will
sit during the first week.
In Favor of Jonas Long's Sons.
The jury in the case of Charles Lieb.
ensteln, of Chicago, against Jona
Long's Sons, of this city, brought in a
verdict on Saturday in favor of the
defendants. Liebensteln was the first
superintendent of the Long store and
sued for salary which he claimed wa3
due him because the Long firm abro
gated their contract with him.
The defense was that no contract
existed and that Liebensteln was dis
charged because of Incapacity and of
his uncivil treatment of the help. The
jury, in addition to their verdict, an
nounced that they had decided that
no contract existed. The case occupied
the attention of Judge Edwards all last
week.
Quickly Disposed of.
A case tried beforo Judge Edwards
on Saturday was very quickly disposed
of. It was a suit brought by Joseph
Bacharach, a wholesale grocer of New
York, against J. O. Ackerman, of this
city for $44.10, the amount of an unpaid
cheese bill.
The defense was that the cheese was
strong and that some other goods had
been shipped back to Bacharach to bal
ance things. No evidence was offered
to prove this and Judge Edwards di
rected the jury to find a verdict for the
plaintiff for the full amount of his
claim.
Verdict for Lumber Company.
The jury in the case of D. F. Hollo
peter against the Green Ridge Lumber
company brought In a verdict In favor
of the defendants on Saturday. Hollo
peter sued for the value of several
consignments of lumber.
Alice Frey Discharged,
Alice Frey, of Brooks street, who
has been In the county jail since last
May, was brought before Judge Kelly
on Saturday on a writ of habeas cor
pus procured by her nttorney, -H. S.
Alworth. She was committed on tho
charge of having concealed the death
of an Illegitimate child born to her
January,
Several witnesses told of the birth ot
the child and of Its death, hut, though
they had heard from tho mother that
Rlrhes real.honost-galned riches
were never gotten together In a
hnp-haszard manner; nor will they
ever be.
Tho systematic saving ot llttlo
sums, with a final prudent placing
nf great sums these, alone, uio
the secret of success.

the little one had been burled In the

connect the girl with having burled It.
Coroner Hobcrts testified to having In
vestigated tho death of an Infant whoso
body was found In the Lncknwannn
river it few weeks after tho birth of
the Frey girl's child, but ho knew noth
ing that would Incrlmlnntc her.
Judge Kelly decided that there was
nothing to warrant the girl's deten
tion nnd ordered her discharged.

able to see the character of the water
shed of the company.
Mile after mile of mountain land,
utterly devoid of human habitation
met tho eye. No cultivated land and
no cattle could be seen. There was
no sign of any possible contamina
tion of the wnter supply, and the
members of both boards of health ex
pressed themselves as highly pleased
with the success attending the com
pany' work in protecting its watershed
from contamination. The boards ex
amined the pumping station that
pumps water from the artesian wells
and from Spring Brook for ithe sup
ply of Taylor and parts of Scranton.
The water from the wells was ex
amined, as well as the arrangements
for conveying it to the points of con
sumption. The party then proceeded to the
grounds of the superintendent of the
watersheds, where lunch was served,
after which Professor Dean, of tho
company's laboratory at Wllkes-Barre,
explained the system used by the com
pany to keep Its water pure and its
watersheds free from contamination.
Tho company has an elaborate sys
tem of inspection and leports on their
different watersheds, and have periodi
cal bacteriological, microscopic and
analytical examination made of the
water, both as It is in their reservoirs
and as It conies from hydrants.
The party then returned to Scran
ton, and all were highly pleased with
tho result of the Investigation.

CELEBRATION OF
FEAST OF BOOTHS
THE
FESTIVAL OF "SUCCOTH"
OPENED LAST NIOHT.
Jewish Holiday Corresponding to
the National Thanksgiving Is Now
Being Generally Observed by He
brew Residents of tho City Ser
vices at the Linden Street Syna-'
goguo Last Night Were In Charge
of Revorand Anspacb, a Graduate
of tho Hebrew Union College.
Last evening the celebration nnd ob
servance of another holiday, very Im
portant to every Jewish citizen of the
city, "Succoth" or the Feast of Booths,
occurred. It Is a merry, happy holi
day, corresponding to tho great na
tional Thanksgiving, and having In
deed been originated by the ancient
Hebrews In much the same spirit that
characterizes the Mrth of tho great
American day of thanks.
It Is the harvest feast, and continues
during a period of eight days, ot which
only tho first and last arc generally
observed. The more devout and ortho
dox Hebrews celebrate the festival by
erecting a. small booth, which Is be
decked with the fruits of the season
nnd which Is Intended as a memento of
the days spent in the wilderness bv
the forefathers of the race, when they
dwelt a half nomadic life, under can
vas. The Linden street synagogue was
thronced last evening at 8 o'clock,
when services were begun by Rev. An
spacb. The latter Is acting as minis
ter, on probation, and Is a recent
graduate of the Hebrew Union college,
at Cincinnati, O.
He conducted last night's services In
a very able manner, nnd his sermon on
"The Jewish Messianic Age" created a
most favorable Impression.
Tho synagogue was appropi lately
decorated in honor of the festival, the
pulpit being surrounded by a circle of
palms and potted plants, and In front
of the altar there being neaped a bank
of fruits and vegetables symbolical of
the harvest season. Almost everything
from the homely pumpkin to autumnal
fruits were in evidence, and en masse
gave the scene the proper aroma and
appearance.
In the course of his sermon, Rev. An
spach said:
Among those grand conceptions and lofty ideals
that have at one time or another moved men
to action, none has been so potent as that of a.
Messianic Utopia. Wheicver man was oppressed
and despotism ruled; whenever some great aspi
ration failed, theic have men raised the vision
of some new Utopia and followed with blind
enthusiasm some newly inspired leader. Neither
the memory of former hopes shattered nor nf
earlier piomUcd uiiiuinilcd has cer deterred
mankind from awaiting a newer rescue fruin
double, a surer salvation from pain. Scarcely
has one ideal failed of realization before another
grand Utopia arises, Phoenix like from the ashes
of the old disappointment, once mole to stir
the heart to lenewed endeavor.
Alirost every age has produced a dreamer of
such Utopias ami glicn to mankind one ol those
world spirit that has stilvcn for a higher good,
and has directed men towards the search o:
light and tiuth.
Israel has enriched huT.anlty with a whole
ncble company of them. Seers who knew the
needs of the hour and searched men's hcails to
implant their diinc message? therein. Prophets
who came as God's apostles to plead with the
bearts of men. And among the prophet of the
soul, Jcienilah stands pre-eminent.
And why hae all previous Utopias failed?
Simply because the great .Jewish demand for
righteousness was licking, as a basic considera
tion; righteousness that Buds its justification in
the nature ol (iod; that publishes its message to
mankind In the startling worcl: "W shall be
holy o en as I the Lord jour Cod am holy,"
Xnl Israel's mission is far from completed,
Firft he must force a recognition of God's unity
upon the woildj then must the Jew, by living
the great moral idea of righteousness, bring that
as his mission to the world; his ideal, his Mes
sianic dream.
l'nr surely all of the Utopians, all the pictured
golden ages, pale befoie their divinely Inspired
conception of Jeremiah, expressed in n few
simple woids, epresse of a Mini ot tender
ncis, sp.'kcn not to the head but to the heart
cf the great surging world. It yet transcends
each ami every one of them. Plato's "Repub
lic" jiclds lo it without a contest. Dante's
"De Monarclila," ami St. Augustine's "City of
God" sink into insignificance beside it; Morc's
Utopia becomes a mere ploy of the fancy, and
the socialism is almost contra human nature.
All of them aro secondary to the Jewish Utopia
offc-vfl us by our piophot. For It deals with
the righteousness, not the "rights" of man.
How different is the Messianic age of Jerc
midh! How all superior aril comprehensive!
How genuinely Jewish and possible! This is
the only Utopia practical enough to stand the
test of rcalily. This grand Jewish Ideal still
remaining human in all Its grandeui, never
transcending the limits ol sanity, aspiring
thiough lighteousness. and sanctity to God and
from God to 6antlty and righteousness.
This is the Utopia which the Hebrew proph
ets stand for; the day when "righteousness shall
flow llko a perennial stream," This Is their
Judaism and must he our Judaism, for it calls

It assures in again that truly Israel's mission
may be peace. But only that peace which
comes in tho wake of virtue and the tialn ot

a definite moral end, greater than Chiistlan
humility, purer than Mohammedan heaven,
grander than nieicy. Peace, tho peato of
righteousness, the peace of justice, the ever
lasting peace nf God, the Hebrew shol.im, pres

Near Uaku, the center of the Rus
sian petroleum trade, thero aro to be
found vast natural reservoirs of crude
oil, formed by the overllow from the
wells. When tho drill taps the un
dersround springs tho oil rushes ou
with such frightful velocity as to flooi
tho surrounding country for a consld
erable distance, and tho terribly in
flammable stuff settles In every de
pression. The application of a torch
to ono of these petroleum lakes woult1
cause a fearful explosion, and tlioli
continued presence Is a menace to th
community.
At ono of the towns In the Punjuu'
there are Mtunted a number of smal
lakes, reputed to contain largo sums o'
money. There Is a fair held annualb
at this town In tho month of February
and It is tho custom of tho pilgrims
Ins'tend of giving their money offering,
direct to tho priests, to bury them In
the mud of the lakes, wljero they take
their sacred annual bath. Tho poor
priests have to enter the water after
ward and recover all they cart by jrt op
ing and diving In a most uudlgnliliHl
fashion. Rumor hnth It that they
would very much like to sco this Ir

there can be no doubt that they fall
to llntl a considerable percentage of
the money.

SELECTING CAMPAIGN ORATORS
.Vork that Requires Prompt Judg
ment and Good Diplomacy.
"Both the chiefs of tho two great
irmies of campaign spellbinders tiro
Jhioans," writes Forrest Crlssey, In
the Saturday Evening Post. "Jlr.
Henry C. Hedges, who enlists and di
rects tho oratorical forces of the Re
publican, Is a prominent lawyer of
Mansfield, while Daniel McConvllle
jomes from Steubenvllle, Mr, Hedges
lias been connected with the bureau of
which ho Is now the head for three na
tional campaigns, and Mr. McConvllle
began service In his present capacity
,n 1S90. They are, however, veterans In
avery phase of campaign experience.
"It Is a slow day which does not
bring a hundred candidates for ora
torical honors to either of tho national
headquarters, and tho average Is close
to two hundred a day. The written
applications brought in by tho malls
aro about equal to tho number of those
made personally.
"First Impressions carry -great
weight with tho men who select tho
orators, and they depend mofo upon
their ability to read human nature
than upon tho results of any categoric
al examination,
"A principle enforced by tho dally;
experience of theso judges of spell
binders Is oxprossed In tho homely
adago that 'You can't tell by tho looks
of a toad how far ho will jump.' Rough
diamonds of oratorical talent aro at a
premium at national headquarters, ami
It Is recognized at tho speakers' bu
reaus that the best spellbinder timber
Is often clothed with a shaggy bark,
Silk hats, spotless linen, white ties and
faultless Prlnco Albert suits do little
to nssuro tho candidate of acceptance,
"A distinctive featuro nt national
headquarters Is the army of bright
young college men who aro Impatient
to try their mettle on tho stump.' No
young college man need hesitate to
make application to Mr. Hedges or to
Mr. McConvllle, for both aro emphatic
In the declaration that the colleges ami
universities of tho present day aro
turning out better campaign timber
than over before.uud that the humblest
undergraduate Is assured of a courte
ous welcome If he chooses to seek a
place In the ranks of the spellbinders.''
