Director Itocho Thinks Scrnnton Should Copy Her Methods. director of 1'ubllc Works llouhe stuted to n Tribune innn yesterday af ternoon that no effort will now be mado unlit next year to sccttro bids for the sewerrt for which no bids were received In response to recent adver tisements. In tho course of the conversation) tho director said that ho wan of the opinion Unit It would be wise to put Into practice, It possible, the system which now prevails In the city of Plttson regarding the payment of sewer contrnotnrs. Contractors there nro paid out of (ho current revenues of the city on esti mates prepared by tho city engineer, anil the sewer assessments as they nrc paid In tire turned Into the city treas ury as general city revenues. "Uy this plan," said the director, "tho contractor Is positively assured of receiving tho cash just as soon us his work Is completed. It relieves lilm from the necessity of discounting his estimates and Insures lower bids than under tho present system. It this plan was put in operation, there would, In my opinion, be no lack of bidders, nnd tho city authorities would nee every means In their power to col lect the assessments, realizing that If any arc not collected the city nnd not the contractor would bo the loser. A BEAUTIFUL WEDDING. Miss Genevieve Clarke United in Marriage to Charles Howard Van Campen. Probably few quiet home weddings aie ever characterized by such clo g'Uice of detail and exquisite taste as that of vstoidtij when Genevieve, tho elder daughter of General Superinten dent and Mrs. T.

The guests present numbered not more than half a hundred and represented only the closest friends of the bride's family in this city and relatives from out of town. The charming rooms were lavishly decorated. The drawing room, which was hung in green brocade, made an ef fective background for masses of lux uriant palms and ferns. A unique fea ture was the frieze of festooned smilax, the delicate sprays fastened by clusters of white carnations. Tlie bridal paity stood in the north corner which was a bower of green. Festoons of smilax formed portieres and softly veiled the windows. The dining room jvas deco rated in bride roses and ferns, the cen tre piece being a niiigniiicenl basket of white roses. The bride entered with her father. She wore a 1'arls gown of llevre lace over white satin, the embroidered de sign being tiny sprays of primroses. Tlio long train was linlshed with in numerable quillingK of narrow liberty satin on silk nut, making a. foam-like effect about the feet. Her veil was caught by a crown-pin of rubles and pearls, tho gift of the groom. She carried a prayer book bound in vellum, from which Dr. James Mel.eod, of tlie First Presbyterian church, read the marriage service. The bride, who is very petite, looked, in iter llliny lovely robes, like some sweeL lniniatuie, with her dainty coloring and her golden hair. Tlie maid of honor was Miss Mary Clarke, the bride's only sister. She wore an exquisite frock of Paris mus lin, with entrc-deux and ruffles of real Valenciennes and sash of white liberty satin. She carried the bride's bouquet in' American beauty rose.4 and wore a picture hat of white mnlines, trimmed with pink roses and a pink Alsation bow. The bridesmaids, who niv exceeding ly beautiful girls, wore while Paris muslin with real lace. Miss "Wright's gown was incrusietl with duche.-se lace. Their huts were of white ma lines and pink roses. Thej' were Miss Clara Harrington of Minneapolis and Miss Wright of Buffalo. The best man was George Peeke, of Minneapolis. The ushers were: .Merlon Paso, of Minneapolis and Harry Shep purd, of Eiiston. The bride's mother wore a very hundsome gown of lav ender embroidered crepe de chine, ap pliqued Willi Chantilly luce. The groom's niolier, Mrs, Charles Van Campen, wore jetted gtiuxe and real lace. Hanley served the bieakfast which followed the ceremony. Among tlie out of town guests were: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Von Campen, Miss Clara Har rington, Messrs, George Peeke and Morton Page, of .Minneapolis, Miss Helen Held. Indianapolis, Mrs. V.

Company Satisfied That Cars Will Bo Patronized as Usual in the Course of n Few Weeks Strikers Confident tho Public Will Not Hide on tlio Cars While They Aro Hun by Imported Men Moro Cars Put on but Passengers Are Still Few Ancsts Made. The trolley strike yesterday entered upon Its second week, with the hope of amicable adjustment farther off than ever. The company is persisting In Its policy of opnulng up Its lines as fast as It can secure imported men, nnd patiently awaiting the time when the public will resume Its patronage of the cars. Tho strikers are putting on 'busses to accommodate those who can not walk without great Inconvenience, nnd trusting that those who can walk will continue to walk until the boycott compels the company to sue for peace. Thus far, the hopes of the men nro being quite fully icalized. Cars run regularly on nearly all the city lines, but thej' enrry very few passengers. Some of them run for hours without taking In a fare. General Manager Sllllmnn claimed yesterday that firtnon new cars had been put In operation nnd that forty, or more than half of tho full equip ment, were running. Ho also claimed that tlie patronage was steadily In creasing. Tlio strikers did not dispute the claim as to tho number of cars in operation, but stoutly maintained that the number of persons riding was less than on tlie previous day. There was no way of telling which was the closer to tho exact truth, but casual obser vation failed to discover any appreci able increase In the number of passen gers. Pl'T ON UNIFORMS. The most of the men manning the cars appeared in uniform yesterday. The strikers claim the company sup plied these uniforms with a view of giving color to a story it proposed to circulate that tlie strikers were desert ing their stand and returning to work. Organizer Heeves averred last night that not a single striker bad deserted, and that there is not the least sign of wavering anywhere along the line. Ten new men were forwarded here by the Druminniid agency from New York, yesterday. Thej- were landed at the company's ofllce without incident. Ten other men, it is claimed by the company, were recruited during the day from the region immediately about Scrnnton. They came singly and un solicited, and were all found to be ex pert car men, seeking permanent em ployment. Postolllce Inspector Hush Gurnian is investigating Hie case of Thomas Smith, tlie dray driver, who is alleged to have Intentionally blockaded a car carrying United States mall, on Lacka wanna avenue, last week. It is claimed on Smith's part that there was no sign on tlie car to indicate that it lind mail aboaid. The mass meeting under the aus pices of tlie strikers, which was sched uled for tonight, has been postponed until Friday night. Business is generall.v paralyzed throughout the central city, as a in sult of the strike, and tlie business men are talking of holding a meeting tomorrow or Friday to take some ac tion looking to their own relief. BOYS ABMSSTKD. Special .gent Stephen Dyer, of lhe Scranton Hallway company, yester day afternoon arrested seven small boys about 14 years old, on the charge of placing obstructions on tlio tracks on West Linden street and North Main avenue. The boys were seen placing tlie. obstructions during tlie past few days and were not arrested until sufll cient evidence was secured against lliem.

Walsh The Religion of ' the Dramatist Discussed. Dr. J. .1. Walsh, of New York city, last night delivered the first of n series of four lectures on Shakespearian sub jects before the members of the Catho lic Historical soclctj. nnd again proved himself to bo one of the most accom plished and scholarly literary students who ever addressed n Scranton audi ence. Tho wonderful range of his knowl edge or literature Is all the more re murkablc when the fact Is taken Into consideration that ho is renowned as a physician and famous more for his sci entific, attainments than aught else. Ho spoko for over an hour and a half last night, without notes of any char acter, nnd the legion of details and in cidents that lie showed himself familiar with proves that his memory, also, is a little out of the ordinary. His topic was "Borneo and Juliet." Tlie doctor referred to it as practically tho first completely original effort of tho immortal Bard of Avon. His earlier plays were written in Imitation of cur rent plays of the tlmo and cannot be classed, ho said, with his other work. The doctor told of Marlowe, the plaj--wrlght, who was tlie favorite In Lon don when Shakespeare came to that city, and contrasted his work with the latter's, the one painting his charac ter's vices and virtues in bold strokes, lnying the color on too heavily, the latter showing the actual development of those vices and virtues and painting them as thej really were. Perhaps the most interesting part of tlie lecture was that in which he dis cussed tlie religious belief of Shakes peare, as revealed in "Borneo and Juliet.' Tt could be plainly seen be fore tile doctor got very far along that bo is an ardent believer in tlie theory that Shakespeare was a Catholic. He pointed out that Arthur Brook, who was the author of the narrative poem from which Shakespeare derived the stoiy of "Borneo and Juliet," sought to prove in this poem tlie dan gers arising from seeking tlie advice of "meddlesome monks" and from follow ing counsel given in the confessional. Dr. AValsli then sought to show that Shakespeare, instead of following out this idea and making Friar Lawrence a "meddlesome monk," makes him a person worthy In every way of the re spect and honor of all men. Tlie doctor said that mnny critics, seeking to prove that. Shakespeare was not a Catholic, have endeavored to clinch their arguments by quoting Juliet's remark in Act Til: "Shall T come to you at evening mass'."' These critics have contended, "flippantly con tended," the doctor said, that as there is no such ceremony as evening mass, that therefore Shakespeare could not have been a Catholic. Had he been one, they argue, lie would have known better. Dr. Walsh said that apparently obvi ous objections can very often be met with very obvious answers. He said that the Catholics in Fngland, in Shakespeare's days, were cruellj- per secuted and were obliged in manj' in stances to conduct their services in secret. Mass was frequeutlj- said very soon after midnight, nt a time when It was still night, to all practical intent and purpose, and it is extremely prob able to suppose that Shakespeare had such a ceremony in mind. Tlie doctor further claimed that it Is a well-established fact that the even ing services in tlie Catholic churches of those days were often called "even ing mass" by the unlettered and un cultured Catholics. In another lecture he promises to en large more fully upon this subject and lo draw arguments, not alone from one pluy but from the collected works of the dramatist. TO APPOINT COLLECTORS City Treasurer Will Name Assistant Tax Collectors This Week He Will Receive 10 Per Cent. An ordinance which has just been signed by Becorder Council provides for the appointment of twenty-ono de linquent tax collectors by City Treas urer Robinson and allows him 10 per. cent, commission on all delinquent taxes collected by these collectors. Treasurer Robinson said yesterday afternoon that he will appoint these collectors beforo the end of tho pres ent week. Ho will allow them a com mission of something; less than 10 per cent, on nil taxes collected by them. The present city administration, it must bo understood, does not recognize tho right of Gcorgo W. Jenkins to act as delinquent tax collector, a position to which ho was appointed by former Recorder Molr. It Is held that inas much as councils provided In the gen eral reorganization ordinance for tho combining of the odlces of city treas urer and delinquent tax collector, Mr. .Tonkins has no right to his position, tho "ripper" bill giving councils the power to coinblno theso two nllircs, Mr, Jenkins Is now making a light in court to test his right to tio place, T)nnfii'(lnn r'.titnrtll. In n iitinlnt Inn l M v ' Treasurer Robinson, a few months ago, was careful In his ofllclal notice of ap pointment to set forth that ho had also appointed lilm delinquent tux collector, 0, nnd W.

The quadrennial conference of the Primitive Methodist Church, of Amer ica was opened last night In tho Prim itive Methodist church, on Host Mar ket street, In the presence of u good slaod congregation, The conference was to have opened In tho afternoon, but owing to the fact thnt only about two-thirds of the dele gates had arrived thero was no session until evening, when a. reception was given tho visiting delegates, William Llttlejohn delivered a brief address of welcome, on behalf of the congregation of the church, while Rev.

Dr. Bateinan, of Fall River, Mass., who spoke words of earnest en couragement lo the delegates, saying that while the church jvas small, It nevertheless made up lu deep piety and spirituality what it lucked in num bers. His address was followed by a brief period of good-fellowship and social intercourse. Tho actual business of the conference will begin this morning, when an or ganization will bo effected. There will be sessions in tho morning and after noon nnd at. night a public service, at which an address will be made by Rev. N. "W. Matthews, of Lowell, Mass.

Is Wonderful Results Recently IT fected by Compound. Buffalo, Oct. S, 1001. An evening pa per publishes a symposium of physi cians' opinions regarding the eillcacy of various remedies for the cure of nervous prostration nnd attendant Ills. Kach physician was asked to express his opinion, first, whether those tils eases were curable when once they had gained u hold upon the patient, ami, second, whether the sumo rem edy would be beneficial In all cases. Without cxecpttbn, the physicians Interviewed declared that nervous prostration, when not too far ad vanecd, Insomnia, rheumatism, Indi gestion, resulting, us It most frequently does, from deranged nerves, dizzy hendncbes, and most liver nnd kidney complaints, were absolutely curable. But the answer to the second ques tion was most remurknble, because, with two exceptions, nil the doctors mentioned by nninc Pnlne.'s celery com pound, a. well known remedy, manufac tured by Wells & Richardson Co., of Burlington, A'l., and first discovered by the eminent Dr. Edward Phelps, some years ago, after a thorough in vestigation and tho accumulation of si great deal of data, both here and in Germany. It is probably the one Instance, says the newspaper, where a prepared rem edy has been openly Indorsed by phj--slcans of such standing. It seems that the formula of the compound has al ways been furnished lo physicians in regular standing, and that, the remedy is generally prescribed bj up-to-date practitioners both here and lu Eng land and German.v, where it is quite as well known as In this country. Manj' wonderful cures by the use of tills famous compound are cited, one of them the well known case of Com modore Howell, of Washington. Rummage Sale.
