This evening tho Scranton Men's so
ciety will entertain Hon. Willis N.
Moore of Washlnt?ton, who Is chief of
the leather bureau and who will Rive
an address In the I'rovldonca Fresby
toflan social rooms on "Tho History
of the Weather Bureau."
Mr. Moore, tliotuth thouuht by fiomo
to bo tho author of all our storms and
even blizzards, and occasionally by a
mandate providing us with sunshine,
nevertheless makes no pretensions of
that sort and yet It's often said of hhn
that what ho don't know anent the
weather Isn't worth inquiring after.
Mr. Moore has almost Inoxhaustlblu
knowledge on this subject and knows
how to both entertain and Instruct
when ho is on tho platform. It will be
a lure treat to hear him this even
ing. He was one of tho speakers at
the New England banquet a year
ago.
The. committee will servo dainty re
freshments, following the address.
The malo quartette of the church, con
sisting of C. I Whlttemore, Joshua
John, Howard Orlffln and Thomas
Morgan, will present the following se
lections: "Just n Song at Twilight,"
plantation song, "Open Up do dates of
Glory." Each member haj the op
tion of Inviting a friend. Mr. Moore
will bo the guest of Captain and Mrs.
D. E. Athorton while- In Scranton.
ALDERMAN FULLER
INTENDS TO RETIRE
Will Not Be a Candidate for the He
publican Nomination in the
Sixteenth Ward.
When hl.t term of olllce a aldeinmn
of tho Sixteenth ward expires a few
months hence, Alderman Fredeilck
Fuller will luy down the cares of hla
ofllco for good and nil. Mr. Fuller
has been alderman of thnt ward for
thirty consecutive years, and Is prob
ably the oldest aldetman In Pennsyl
vania In point of service.
Ho said some time ago, when urged
by friends to allow himself to be a
candidate for renomlnatlon und ra-
election, that he had no desire to enter
into a heated contest for the ofllce,
and that when his term expired ho
would retlro to private life. Yester
day he madp public his determination
in tho following statement:
I detire the colors of the SKlcenlli ward of
this city to know that 1 am not a candidate for
ic-elcction to tho oIEce of alderman at tho com
ins tprlnif ebitlcn. The end of my present term
will complete the thlitlctli cotoccuthe jear of
my iniumbeney to tho olflce. 1 am not mi
rrlndful of tho Importance of tho position and
that It Is one that should command the retpfct
of the community vltcn the Incumbent h.tilli
Rintly, conscientiously and faithfully dltiharses
tin- dutlcit required of 1dm.
An IndUirlnUnato and quite seme crlttcum
lias prtallc(l of hte in repaid to the otflce aj It
Is now administered. 'Hits tault does not alwayi
belonp to the magistrate. The statute law as
constructed in many cases furnishes the ground,
tor thK The defendant In a criminal cmso Is pir
inlttnl to so bifore any magistrate and enter
bail fir his appcaiance at court, and is alio
permitted lo waic n hearing before the abler
r..nn who Issues tho warrant and enter ball.
'Ililf. I bcline, is not a good practice. 'Hie
defendant should be required to appear before the
alderman wilh whom the complaint Is lodsed
and a full bcarin? had to .atlafy tlie tuiglstrate
that good and tufilclent firound exlts to send tho
caw tT court. And in trlUal cascn all reason
able ilfort houlil be made to effect a settlement
between tho lltlpantf. It this sjitcin v.is made
the rule the higher lourt would bo u'leitly re
llend and the county saved a large expense is
well ns the parties in lntirct.
The oflne of aUlcnmii Is not a sinecure. It Is a
trjlng one In every npcct, and is far from
bdiu Jemuneratlve when all the time, annoj
ancc and perplexity necessary in tho disposition
of culls is taken into consideration.
It is the unattraitive feature in humanity that
Is puerted to tho magistrate In moot cacs and
with which he las to dial.
The ofllce, of Jus.Ico of tho peace is said lit
lmo bien established about the josr of 3327 bj
IMward III. Dalton's Country Jmtke, printed
in London, A. 1). 17W, sajs: "Jastlces of the
peace aro not to prevent Justice which may be
done In many ways. They should aim them
selves with the fmr of God, tho love of truth and
justice, and with the authority and knowledge of
the laws and statutes of the realm. They should
do Justice uprightly and Indifferently, without
delay, paillallty, fear or bilbcry, with stout and
upright and unconupt hands."
I believe this high standard should not be
low cred.
It t can bu sutd of Alderman Fuller
that dmlnfc his many years of service
ho has been truo to that high stand
ard. He hos scotned the Idea of
Incltluc,' litigation. thnt he might bene
tlt thereby and likewise the modern
practice of making the county pay
for great numbers of dldchaigod cases.
During his yeara In ofllce the dis
charged cases for which ho has pre
sented bills to tho county commis
sioners have not averaged onu a year.

IS GOOD THING
FOR SCRANTON
VICTORY OF QUAYITES MEANS
MUCH FOR THE CITY.
Second Class City Laws to Be Given
a Complete Revision for the Fur
pose of Destroying the Flynn-Ma-gec
Control In Pittsburg and While
the Revision Is Going on the
Wishes of This Stronghold of
Quaylsm Will Be Consulted Coun
cils to Act Tonight.
Quay's complete victory, which the
Ilairlsburg dispatches say U now con
ceded by the Insurgents, means much
to Scranton.
It means that tho objectionable second-class
city churter, which It was
feared It would have to embrace, will
be stripped of Its ptlnclpnl objection
able feature, and that tho now code for
tho government of Pittsburg.Allegheny
und Scranton, which la nlready In
course of preparation, will not bs
adopted till Scranton has had lis wiv
as to what It should or should not con
tain. It has long been tho cherished pur
pose of the Quayltes to destroy tho
Magce-Fllnn control In Pittsburg, and
tho means selected to thnt end was to
supplant the piesent Pittsburg charter
with one that will take the Govern
ment of tho city out of tho hands ol
the ting and place It back In the hands
of tho people.
How tho present charter, with Its op
portunities for log-rolling, has suc
ceeded In almost completely divorcing
the people from municipal control has
been explained at length In the special
articles on second-class city legllatlon
which recently appeared In The Tilb
une. How the new chatter will rem
edy this evil is simple to understand
when ono Is cognizant of the opera
tions of the other.
In a word, the old charter provides
practically that the government shall
be vested in three heads of depait-
ments, who shall bo elected by coun
cils. These heads of departments In
turn dictate the election of tho coun
cihnen by building up rings In each
ward by the use of the city patronage,
and In a very short time the people
find themselves completely outside the
breastworks.
THE NEW CHARTER.
The new charter, It Is suld, piovldes
that tho mayor shall appoint the heads
of departments. He Is always within
reach of tho people and thn people have
only ono man ta hold tcsponslble, In
stead of trying to place responsibility
on threescore or more of councllmen.
If a city government under the new
chatter Is going wrong, the people can
oust tho mayor, put In a now ono and
have a general house-cleaning. Xo
one stands between tho executive and
the people. The "bumper" which tho
heads of depattments were for the
councllmen, or the councllmen for the
heads of departments, is wholly want
ing. Boss rule Is piactlcally nn im
possibility under tho now charter, un
less the people make no effort to pte
vent It.
Then again, had the Insurgents til
umphed the second-clns charter would
remain undisturbed and Scranton. a
strong Quay city, would have no more
Influence In the framing of second
class city legislation than If It had
never entered tho second class. Now,
however, Scranton Is In a fair way to
pretty nearly dictate what shall and
what shall not bo second-class laws.
Had the Insurgents won. Plttsbuir
would continue to dictate the laws for
second-class cities. Now, Pittsburg Is
liable to get Just what she doesn't
want. At all events, Scrantonians can
rest assured that Scranton will havo
as much to say as the next, regarding
second-class city law.
COUNCILS TO ACT.
It Is generally understood that City
Solicitor Vosburg will send In com
munications tonight to both brapches
of council", calling the attention of tho
members to the fact that Scranton Is
bound for tho second class, and that
If they deshc to secure any amend
ments to tho existing hecond-class city
law favorable to this city, an effort
must be made Immediately to have
such amendments drawn up and
pushed through tho legislature, which
U now In session.
Sir. Vosburg, It Is undeistood, would
favor the immediate appointment of
special committees from each branch
of councils, with Instiuotlons to pie
pare suitable amendments nt once and,
If necessary, with power to go to Har
rlsburg and use every legitimate means
posslblotosecure their passage through
the legislating.
A special committee was appointed
by the select council some two months
ago, consisting of Slessis. Chittenden,
Roche and Williams, with Inst motions
to prepare such necessary ordinances,
etc., as It will be necessary to havo
adopted by councils before the city can
enter tho second class. This commit
tee, however, was not insti ucted to,
nor hus It made any effort to devise or
pieparo any amendments to the pres
ent second-class city law.
CHITTENDEN'S VIEWS.
Councilman C. E. Chittenden, of the
Ninth ward, who Is tho chairman of
this committee, was asked yesterday
by n Tribune man whether ho favored
the Idea of having councils tako action

We make a specialty of

Many lines at- 12c aud ijc

Prices on all lines are very

skill aud experience cau make
it.
E.G. Com sen
at once to securo tho passage of suit
able amendments.
"I most certainly do," said he, "and
I believe that there Is not a minute to
spare. Tho leglslatuie meets only onco
every two yeats, and If wo want to get
any amendments through this session
wo will havo to net Immediately I am
not so sanguine that wo will be able
to get any amendments passed uven It
tho Quay faction docs secure the high
hand, but there's nothing like tiylng.
"I ntu Impressed with the urgent ne
cessity of securing tho "passage of
amendments which will wipe out and
tender void that part of the socond
class tlty net which gives councils the
power to elect tho heads of tha three
big departments. That's the part of
the act wo want to get nt. There are,
of course, a number of other changes
which would bo necessary befoio It
would bo unythlng like half perfect,
hut that's the especial feature that
uttlkes me ns being by far tho worst.
"I would favor nn amendment which
would either give the mayor power to
appoint thee heads of departments
and thus centralize responsibility In
hhn, or whkh would give the people
tho power to dhectly choose them bv
popular vote. Wo have lcurned the
Jcsson over and over ugaln In the past
that tho more executive power vou
place In tho hands of councils, which
are purely legislative bodies, the woise
the results.
ACT AT ONCE.
"Let councils act on this matter at
once, I say. l,ut good committees from
each blanch bo appointed: lot them
consult with the city solicitor; let
them draw up with his advice ameiii!
ments which will do away with tho
llagiant ovlli of the present second
class city system of government; let
thorn see that they arc Introduced as
soon an possible In the legislature, and
then let every good citizen who has at
heart tho Interests of the cltyot Scinn-
lon, and who does not wish to have Us
oveiy department of municipal govern
ment placed In tho hands of a few
politicians, set oveiy Inlluenco at work
which he can to further their passage
tluoufih the legislature."
Mayor Slolr Is also heartily In favor
of tho Idea of having councils take up
the matter at once. Said he, yestei
day: "I can't say thnt I'm a Qttiy man.
but If the old man Is going to be In
pewer again, und It looks as If ho was,
I think we'll be able to get amend
ments passed by the legislature which
will do away with come of the objec
tionable feattnes of the second-class
clly act, and for that leason I'm glad
he's on top again.
"The boatd of tiade has, to be sute,
appointed a committee to confer on
this riuestlon with committees from
Plttsbuig and Allegheny, nnd at this
conference, I understand, certain
amendments to tho present law will be
decided upon. The board of trnde litis
been entcrpilslng In this matter and
the members havo shown a deal of
public splrlMvlness, but In my opinion
If uny such amendments are prepared
to meet conditions la this cltv, tho
members of the councils, by reason of
their cxpetlence In matters municipal,
should have tomo say.
"For thlHieason I would favor the
Immediate appolntmentof special com
mittees to take this matter under con
sideration nnd to piepare such amend
ments as they may deem necessary."
NO HUMOR IN
DR. ALLEN'S REPORT
He Contented Himself with Stating
Facts About the Health of the
City Report of Secietaiy.
The boaid of health meeting, held
lust night, was unique In that tho
monthly report of Health Officer Allen
contained not a single witty sally of
any kind, manner or dcscilptlon. This
Is believed to have been the flist time
since Dr. Allen became health olllccr
that he has not had nt least one littlo
witty phrabe hidden tuvuy somewhero
In his report.
He merely leported the Interesting
facts that ninety-two nuisances had
been complained of, and that all had
been abated; that a large amount of
vaccination was being done, nnd that,
In his opinion, theio would be very
little Intel ference with tho attendance
at the public schools caused by tho
failure of parents to see that their
children were properly vaccinated.
A letter on the subject of vaccina
tion was read from Rev. Peter Christ,
who is pilnclpal of St. Slary's paro
chial school In South -Scranton, and
who wanted to know what was to be
done with the poor children whose
parents could not nlford to submit to
what he teimed the "bleeding pro
cess" of the physicians who charge
tZ for vaccinating.
Tho board decided that the question
of having tne poor children vaccinated
fieo could bu taken up nftor January
1.", when it would be discovered Just
how many there weie and Just what
the expenso would be.
The secretary reported that tho
deaths for the year Just ended fiom
purely nuttnnl causes were 1,803, which
is n death rale of IS to the 1,000, which
Dr. Allen said was very low, Indeed.
The remainder of the heuetaiy's re
port for the month was as follows:
Actual mortality, 107: deaths from
accidents, 19; births, ST. There wero
240 cases of contagious disease re
ported as follows: Measles, 10i; diph
theria, 28; typhotf fover, 7; scailet
fever, 10; membraneous croup, 2.
There were two deaths ach from
measles, typhoid fover, diphtheria and
membraneous croup.
Tho food Inspector's report was as
follows: Number of store and market
Inspections, 450; Babcock milk tests.
, 30; lactometer tests, 223; average per
cent, nutter int, ; average per cent,
total solids, 12.00. Tho following were
destroyed: Beef, 70 pounds; pork, 100
pounds; sausage, 35 pounds; poultry,
no pounds; spate ribs, 73 pounds; fish,
423 pounds; milk, SO quarts.
A communication was read from
tho city controller, requesting that es
timates bo furnished for tho coming
fiscal year. A special committee to
preparn thu estimates was appointed,
consisting of Dr. Allen, E. G. Stevents
and Sllss Nettle Sweeney, tho secte
tary. Just befote adjournment tho present
night watchman at tho crematory,
Slartln Kelly, was temoved, and Jacob
Slantz was appointed In his place.
The new member from South Scran
ton, Ambrose 'Ileitis, who was appoint
ed to All the vacancy caused by tho
resignation of W. U. O'SIalley, was
present at last night's meeting for
thu first time.
