The small number of applicants for relief at tho poor board meetings dur ing the pant fow weeks Is consldarad remarkable when tho fact that It Is now tho winter season Is taken Into consideration. Thero were but live applicants nt yesterday's meeting. Mary Swift, of 415 Phelps street, who has three small children and who hns been Hick In one of tho hospitals for n number of weeks, pold that sho was In desperately nceedy circumstances with neither money to pay her rent, to buy coal or wood or to buy proper food and nourishment for herself nnd children. Her case was referred to the director of her district who was empowered to give her Immediate relief. The caso of Julla Wltkotvskl, whose husband deserted her some six months ago and who hus n number of children, was refeired to the director as was also the case of Mary l'etrush, of New street, whoso husband was killed a few weeks ago. P. J. Morris, of 20S Rail road avenue, was admitted to the home. The report of Superintendent Roomer of the home for the month ending Jan uary 81, showed that there wore then 4fj Inmates In the Institution at that date, classified as follows: Insane males, 120; sano males, H2; Innno fe males. 13S: sane females, G TESTIMONY AS TO MENTAL CAPACITY Another Hearing Befoio Register of Wills Koch in the Matter of Ob jections to Roesler Will. TIipio was another heating before tho register of wills yesterday In tho matter of the objections to the pro bating of tho will of tho late C. W. Hoesler. A large number of witnesses were examined, some of whom were siiro that the fonner nldertnan was In no mental condition before his death to make ti will, while others were oonil dent that ho was of disposing mind. Jacob TJItter swore that bo had known Mr. Roesler for nearly fortv years. For tho last few years he thought his mental condition was not good. Attorney S. Woodruff said ho had it tall; with Mr, Roesler last June and thought at that time he was not of sound mind. A. S. Nye, Officer Jo seph Iiloch, A. J. Colborn, Mrs. Charles Rodriguez, Charles Rodriguez, Jessie and Mcta Rodriguez, V. S. Foote, C. V. Krnmer nnd S. II. Course!! all gave testimony to the effect that Mr. Roes ler was not sound mentally for a long time before his death. Dr. P. C. Hall, of West Scranton, who attended the deceased in his last ill ness, said he had been In attendance upon hhn for three months before his death, which was due to old age. Ho could not say whether or not ho had sufficient mental capacity on January n to make a will, in his opinion Mr. Roesler had been used very kindly by the Osberrys nnd appreciated It. Con tinuing, the doctor said: "I firmly believe that ho knew enough nnd his mind was clear enough to make disposition of his property." Rev. P. F. Zlzloman, who was with Mr. Roesler several times a week for a long time before his death, said that the deceased was always rational when talking with him. He was unablo to state whether or not Mr. Roesler was of sound nnd disposing mind on Janu ary 5, when ho made his will. Nathan Weiss, Hdwnrd Siobecker, Frank Mover, W. S. Ross, of .South Ablngton; Charles Cooker, Frank Stio ble and Attorney W. H. Dlehl, who came In contact with tho deceased at different times during tho last year, all swore they considered Mr. Roesler as possessing sufllclent mental capacity to make a will. That closed the testlmonyln tho case. On February 11 the register will ie celvo requests for findings from the at torneys on either side. FUNERAL OF E. J. LEONARD.

Tho last message of the two d"loguteK. which came Thursday, asked thnt no action bo taken until they returned. Yesterday morning tho remaining members of the comml'too wired to Guy's hotel, Philadelphia, whera their colleagues stopped, and leceived an an swering telegram stating that Shea nnd Enrictt hod left tor Scranton at noon.

Dlllonls has at vurlous dates advertised loctuies, but has boon prevented each tlmo by Mayor Corootan, on grounds that tho remarks of tho ex-pi lost would be liable to arouse the Lithuanians to deeds of violence. Whenever Dlllonls hired a hall, Mayor Coicnran's bluocoats were on hand to prevent oratory. Yostotduy Judge Lynch grunted an Injunction against Mayor Corcoran nnd his five policemen to restrain them from Interfering with the orator. Tho Injunction was served, nnd at 7 o'clock Dlllonls repaired to Ilooth's hall, which had been engaged for tho occasion, and where nn audience awaited him.

The exercises were opened by singing "My Country, 'tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty," In which tho assemblage Joined heart ily, and Rev. Dlllonls followed with a talk on "Faith, Hope and Love." Ho spoke twenty minutes, ten minutes In English nnd ten minutes In the Lithu anian language. Ho was listened to with cloo attention by the spectators who filled the hall, and most perfect order prevailed throughout the even ing. BURNED TO DEATH.

Ho declared that hlstoty pioves conclu sively that she did rule and at timet rule sternly, standing out against her premier and her ministry. Mo told of tho liberties which her piemler. Lord I'nlmcrston, took on more than one occasion, changing the wording of of ficial documents, after the queen hnd signed them, and of tho diplomatic but firm way In which Victoria, cttllod him to nccount and Insisted that there should be no repetition of his notion, ATTENDED TO DETAILS. He spoke of tho uncoutradlctablo evi dence that the queen carefully load every ntllelnl dispatch presented to her and often made clmnfees' In the shape of marginal notes In her own hand writing1 bufoie nlllxlng her algniuuro. Ho related tho Instance of "a cer tain English colonel who insulted on" of tho ladies of the queen's household and who, though locognlzcd ass one of tho best soldlets in tho English ntmy, W03 disgraced, stripped of his i auk nnd exiled." Ho won renown In the service- of other nations. Rev.

Jle died In Constantinople, but tho queen was In exorable even then and refused to consent to u military funeral. "Queen Victoria," said ho "loved her Rlble and her prayer liiolt nnd know them both well. Tho light of her plsty shone out upon her court and cast a lustre about her throne. She loved the common people of her lnnd and her sweet and beautiful lif- wus nn Inll.t enco for good throughout tho king dom. Sho is dead now nnd by her open grnve the world stands In tears."
