Poland, as contrasted with the apathy
and disunion nf our own, Is well Illus

on tho present occasion.
The new bulldlncr, which Is superbly
decorated with frescos and statues,
possesses two halls the lamer seats

auditorium wi are told that neottte

also contributed heavily, for the pur
pose of bringing the remainsof Chopin
from Paris to thov crypt in the old
castle, where Poland lays those whom
she most delights lo honor. A medal
was struck tit the time, and the War
savv Keho published a memorial num
ber, full of all sorts of Chotiln me
mentoes. Now another movement is on
foot to erect a Chopin monument In
Warsaw. The llussian government has
given permission, plans are already
llled, and again Padercwskl, Soinbrlclt
and other devoted Polish artists are
pledged to assist.
Where are the patriotic and famous

If there is one thing above another
that members of tho Improved Order

The exercises began with the public
installation of the following officers:
Archon, Jacob A. Shifter; provost
George F. Weeks; prelate, Marshall

Itaub; inspector, Charles Sickler, stv.
warder, T. F. Revan; sentinel, M. C.
Moran; trustees, E. H. Bird, M. AV.
Finn and AV. Jl. Finn.
At the conclusion of this ceremony,
the members and guests repaired to the
dining hall, where tables extending the
full length of the room, laden with
seasonable delicacies, were spread, and
there the members, their visitors and
guests feasted to their heart's content.
The banquet was served under the
personal supervision of the committee
of arrangements, whieli included Jacob
A. Shifter. E, I. Paine, George F.
AA'eeks, Herman I-andau, 11. T. Yost,

THREE-FOURTHS OF SCHOOL

According to tho report of Superin
tendent Howell, submitted nt last
night's meeting of tho board of con
trol, a census ho made of twenty-four ,
public schools shows that about threo
fourths of tho pupils are vaccinated.
Tho number vaccinated was found to
be 7,7-12 and not, vaccinated, 2,0SC. ,
Dr. OUIalley, In" commenting on tho
report, said these figures, wore very
satisfactory, mid from Information re
ceived from physicians, lie believed
Unit practically nil tho children would
soon be vaccinated. Tie was opposed,
ho said, to the wholesale vaccinating
coiuepiplutvii by the councils' resolu-!
lions providing for free vaccination,'
There wore often 111 results followiiiB
vaccination not done with extroino'
care, and wholesale vaccinating was
not conducive to cxtremo care. lie ad
Vised that tho board should not ac
iule.sec In tho council's plan of having
physicians go about to the different
school .houses, on certain days, and
vaccinate free all who cutue, children
and ndults. The family physician was
tho proper one to do tho vuceinajlng,
he suld. i

STAY OF EXECUTION
WAS NOT ALLOWED
Matter of Note Glvon by Charles Kel-
lar to Street Car Union Brought
to Attention of Court.
An effort was made yesterday lo get
the court to stay the execution Issued
against Charles Kellar by tho Street
Car Men's union, but It was not suc
cessful. It will be remembered that
Kellar was a member of the street car
union and went on strike with his fellow-members
In October last. Some
time later ho applied to the executive
committee In charge of the strike for
financial assistance, and was given $10
and compelled to sign a "cut-throat"
judgment nolo for tho amount. Some
weeks ago he returned to work, and
was expelled from the union. Last
week tho olllcers of the' union had an
execution Issued against Kellar on tho
note, and the sale Is advertised for next
Friday.
In court yesterday morning Major
Everett AVarren, as the .attorney for
Kellar, asked for a. rule' to open the
judgment and stay the execution. The
motion was supported by an affidavit
from Kellar setting forth that the
treasurer of Division 16S, Amalgamated
Association of Street Car Men's union,
is not si person who has a legal exist
ence and therefore has no standing in
court; that he, Kellar, does not owe
any money to him. ns he never bor
rowed any. He further alleges that ho
was fraudulently Induced to sign the
judsment note.
In his affidavit Kellar says that the
union kept a fund to be distributed free
among its members In case of need. He
had need of J10 and applied to George
Kagler, si cretary ot the union, for it.
Kaglor sent, him to Thomas Edwards,
the ii"!-pircsldent. The latter let htm
have the money. Edwards handed Kel
lar a paper to sign. He said It was a
receipt for the money, which the ex
ecutive committee was to .keep as an
evidence of where the money went to.
Kellar soj-9 be did not. ask the money
.ft a loan and was not aware thut it
was a judgment note that be had
signed. The representation of Edwards
to the effect that It was only a re
ceipt Is what is alleged to constitute
tho 'fraud.
After a consultation between Judges
Kdwards, Kelly and Newcomb, Judge
Kelly announced that the court had de
cided to refuse tho motion to open the
judgment and stay the execution on the
ground that the allegations of fraud
were too Indefinite. Major AVarren
asked for an exception to this ruling,
and it was allowed.
Further action in the case will bo
taken by Major AVarren before Friday.
The union Is represented by Attorney
C. Halentlue.

The third and final week's session ot
tho January term ot common pleas

presiding In tho main court room;
Judge Newcomb In No. 2, and Presi
dent Judge John Lynch, of Lussernc In

evening of January 22, 1899.
At that time ho wns about thirteen
years of age nnd was employed as a
water boy. He testified that ho wont
to work at 0 o'clock of tho evening in
question, and continued until about
7,30 when tho electric light went nut
and he was sent by lite fireman to re
port this fact to tho electrician who
stated that he would repair It at once.
The plaintiff then went back to the
charging floor and sal down at one side
ot tho mill with his father, who was
employed as a charger.
Dy reason of the cold ho and his
father started to go over to the side of
one of the cupalos, .'blch was In blast,

piece of Iron between No. 1 and No. 2
cupolas and fell head foremost Into

The father died from the injuries ho
received at that time and in the case
instituted by tho widow a non-suit was
allowed by Judge Carpenter, on the
ground that plaintiff was guilty of con
tributory negligence, at the last Sep
tember term.
PRECEDENT ESTABLISHED.
Ono of tho jurors called was Martin
Gaughan who was employed by the
defendant, company as a fireman at the
South mill at the time of the accident.
He was challenged for cause by the de
fendant and the challenge was resisted
by the attorneys for the plaintiff who
contended that the fact that Gaughan
had been an employe of the defendant
was not sufficient for the court to sus
tain the challenge.
It is a new point and the attorneys
were unable to present any authori
ties that would sustain their conten
tions. Judge Newcomb decided that if
tho plaintiff had made the challenge
there would be no doubt as to his right
to do so and ho believed that a rule
that applied to the plaintiff ought also
apply to the defendant.
The case of II. AV. Loftus against
Mrs. Bridget Hand is being heard in
Judge Kelly's court. Mr. Loftus sues
to recover $300 for services as a medi
ator in bringing about a meeting be
tween Mrs. Hand and tho blood rela
tives of her deceased husband. Richard
McIIugh, for the purpose of effecting a
sale of her life Interest In the McIIugh
property.
According to Mr. Loftus, the meeting
took place and Mrs. Hand agreed to
sell her interest for $20,000, which was
agreeable to the heirs. Later she re
pudiated tho agreement, demanding
$23,000, and when Mr. Loftus waited on
her to secure the pay she promised him,
she refused to honor his claim, alleg
ing that inasmuch as the sale had not
been effected ho was not. entitled to
anything. Mr. Loftus avers that, his
pay was contingent only on his bring
ing about a meeting.
James Mahon and A. A. Chase rep
resent the plaintiff. T. P. Hobun and
George S. Horn are attorneys for the
defense.
