Commander Lathrop made an im

regards their pay during the confine
ment in prisons.
Circular No. 1, issued December IS,

something about Its sessions. lie sub
mitted a copy ot tho Cleveland Plain
Dealer of September 11, 1901, which con
tained a report of the proceedings, and
this -was read by Adjutant Ripple.
Comrade Parsons, who was also a
delegate, said ho visited Cleveland, took
part in tho parade, and was nominated
and elected a member of the national
executive committee. Ho also reported
on a subsequent visit to Washington,
when a conference was held with Sen
ator Penrose, who, on December 4, 1901,
inirouuceci a Din in the senate grant
ing pensions to soldiers and sailors con
lined In so-called Confederate prisons.
Tho bill Is now pending, and is as fol
lows; NEW PENSION BILL.
Whereas, Many officers,' soldiers, tailors and
marines of the Federal army and navy weio con
lined In w-ealled Confederate prisons fur u great
length ot time, uitfcrlng uimsiul hardships and
contracting diseases and disabilities difficult to
fully prove under oxlstlng pension laws. There
fore, for the purposo of doing Justice to a bpo.
elally deserving class of surviving vctcrum of
the war,
Do it enacted by the senate and lion of rep
resentatives of the United suics of America In
congress nsscmbled, that the secretary of the In

the same time ami in the same manner as oth?r
pensions are now paid.
Provided further, That this act thall not en

years to obtain what they claim rlghf.
tuny ueioiigs 10 mem.
Colonel Ripple followed with u verbal
report of tho Visit of tho Atltlersonvlllo
memorial commission, of which ho is n
member, to tho scene of tho prison
hardships on December 20, 1901, for the
purposo of selecting a site' for a monu
ment to the memory of tho 1,100 Penn
sylvania soldiers, who there gave their
lives for their country.
Tho committee, ha said, la rtow en
gaged In procuring designs, which will
Include nn arcade base, on which can
bo Inscribed the names of tho heroes
burled at Audorsonvllle. They visited
Providence Spring and tho pavilion
erected by tho Woman's Relief corps,
and there found tho water (lowing ns
strong ns when tho spring first broke
out. The old wells In tho prison are In
nn excellent state of preservation,
The cemetery there is beautiful, nnd
It hardly seems possible that 1,400
brothers tiro lying thero. Tho commit
tee, tho colonel said, expects to havo a
meeting soon to select tho monument
design. Ho favors Pennsylvania gran
ite, but fears ho in nlono In this view,
ns tho others think it Is not enduring
enough.
Tho election ot officers was then In
order, and all tho old corps was re
elected, ns follows:

FOR THE NEXT MEETING.
The next meeitng will be held in
Scranton on the last Thursday in Janu
ary, 1903. A committee of five was ap
pointed to arrange for the entertain
ment and supper for the comrades next
year. The committee named E. W.
Pearce, Dr. S. C. Logan, P. II. Camp
bell, George Williams and Colonel E.
II. Ripple.
A. B. Stevens said he thought that
Ezra Griffin post and its Ladies' aux
iliary will bo pleased to provide a sup
per for the visitors next year.
The business session having con
cluded, Comrade Lathrop called upon
Comrade George Williams, who related
an interesting account of his personal
experiences in army life. Addresses
were also made by Comrades A. B.
Stevens, P. II. Campbell, T. M. May
nard and others.
Colonel Staub, of Baltimore, was then
called upon to address tho assemblage.
Ho is a fine-looking southern gentle
man, with military bearing, and speaks
with much fervor and frankness. In
opening, he said he hardly deemed it
proper to address them as fellow-comrades,
but felt safe in calling them
fellow-veterans and fellow-citizens.
In the course of his remarks, the col
onel said he was greatly indebted to
those who wore the blue, and it afford
ed him much pleasure to thank them
for ending the rebellion, else he would
not now havo the privilege of address
ing them as fellow-comrades.
"I am more nervous now," he said,
"than when I was on the battle field
fighting against you, ns this is my first
opportunity to address you as friends.
It was my good fortune to fall into
Pennsylvania hands when I was cap
tured, and it affords me much pleasure
to pay a 'tribute to my captors. They
treated me respectfully and kindly.
"The war had been coming on for
years, and though my father was a
slave-owner, I often wondered that
under a free government why such an
Institution as slavery was allowed to
exist. But the purchase of the slaves
by the government would not havo been
the settlement, as some supposed, nnd
the only settlement was by the sword.
GREATER THAN DAVIS.
"Tho people of the South used to
think Lincoln wore horns, and wo had
our prejudices against him, but wo
nfterwards learned that ho was not ns
bad us represented, but a true, kind
hearted man, and the tlmo came when
we liked him, and 1 am here to bear
tribute to the memory and greatness ot
Lincoln, u greater statesman than Jef
ferson Davis.
"Had Davis been tlio statesman that
Lincoln was ho would have settled tho
strife long before It wus settled. But it
remained for Lincoln to emancipate tlio
slaves, and when they were liberated,
tho negroes Hocked to tho northern
army nnd rendered good service, too.
"I rejoice In the result of that war,

might be, they must not fool with

The speaker concluded by rending a
meritorious composition, entitled "Tho
North nnd South, tho Bluo nnd the
Gray." Ills remarks wcro very well re
ceived, and his meeting with tho union
veterans wns ti sourroo ot much pleas
tiro to htm.
A. B, Stevens said ho rejoiced that
this country is ono nnd undivided, nnd
added that It was the duly ot tho vet
erans to tench patriotism to tho coming

NEW MANAGER HERE.
Tells of Prospects of Pennsylvania
State League, of Which Scran

The arrival of A. W. Lawson, who
will manage the now Scranton base

the old time fans to talking base ball
once more.
Mr. Lawson has decided to make this
city his home in the future and to get
down to good, hard work from this tlmo
on in shaping up matters and prepar
ing for the opening of the season.
The new Pennsylvania League
which was recently organized at Read
ing is composed of the .following cities:
Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Reading, Leb
anon, Hazleton and Lancaster.
"This makes ono of the finest little
base ball circuits geographically
speaking ever organized," said Mr.
Lawson. "The longest railroad jump
for any club to make is about 120 miles.
The saving In railroad fare during .the
entire season therefore, will be consid
erable. "All of the cities mentioned are ripe
for the game and I look forward to a
most prosperous season. Wo are going
to endeavor to put base ball on a per
manent footing In Scranton and the
only way to succeed is to go at it in
a business like way and keep the ex
penses down below tho receipts.
"The salary limit of tho league has
been placed at 3700 per month for each
club. This will cause the managers
to adopt great care and judgment In
selecting their players who will mostly
be ambitious and promising young
sters instead of paying exhorbitant sal
aries to broken down old timers who
live on their past reputations."
Manager Lawson has already sent
out several contracts p players and
says that within a few days lie expects
some of them to be returned signed.
The Wilkes-Barre Record yesterday
contained tho following:
"Albert Lawson and W. Abbott
Whitman, the latter president of the
new Pennsylvania State league, are in
town, looking over the ground, with a
view of establishing a league club In
this city for next season. Mr. Wliit-
jnan states that the Wilkes-Barre
franchise haa been awarded tj Mr.
McCabc, of Chester, Pa., a son-in-law
of Roach, the shipbuilder. He Is a
man of financial strength, a base bail
enthusiast, and one who loves tho
sport for the pleasure It gives him.
He will have the pick of his strong
Chester club of last season, Including
"Billy" Digging, a former member of
tho Wilkes-Barre club. Mr. Whitman
yesterday retained Attorney William
Goocklo and will at once apply for a
charter. ' Mr, Whitman comes hero
well recommended and will give this
city good base ball,"
SUCCESSFUL RECITAL.
Large Assemblage Hears Conserva
tory Students at Guernsey Hall.
Tho thirty-seventh recital by the
Conservatory ot Music was given lost
evening In Guernsey hall. Notwith
standing numerous attractions else
where, the hall was crowded a mani
fest token of the popularity of tho Con
servatory recitals.
The programme wns made up largely
of pianoforte selections by tho younger
students. Tho youngest class ill the
conservatory, composed of children
from five to seven years of age, wero
represented on this occasion by Esther
Beaumont, Vernu, Blsblng, Miriam
Lansing and Margaret Laubach. Tho
children wero each seated at a piano,
the tiniest of nil, Miriam Lansing, nt
the big Grand plnno, nnd In concert
and from memory they played several
selections In a manner that completely
captivated their hearers.
In I1I3 first appearance In recital,
Master Ralph Goldsmith, of Green
Ridge, played "The Shepherd's Dream,"
by Heinz, with such smoothness nnd
precision as to show tho little fellow
possessed moi;e than ordinary talent.
Another class of young students, who
began tlielr work this year, played to
gether and from memory selections In
any major or minor key asked for by
the audience. As usual, this elicited
much applause,
Other students who played solos wero
Mary Ryan, Helen Everltt, Adullno
Evans, of Old Forge; Helen Hopewell,
Lenn Benrdsley, Mury Slebecker, Clara
Van Sickle, of Olyphnntj Genevieve
Berghauser, Edna Levan, of Mooslo,
and Clara Haas, The latter played a
dlfllcult selection with the ease of an
experienced artist.
The Misses Gussle Brandt, Charlotte
Croasdalo, Helen Elvlu and Nana Price
played with excellent effect, nt four
pianos, u movement from Kuhhm'a
Sonatina In C
Soloa wero played also by Miss Emma
Bone and Miss Katharine Hicks. The
latter deserves special mention. Though
not at her best, through nervousness,
she showed In the Nocturne, by Schytte,
and the Louve, by Bach, a beautiful
touch und excellent muslcul ability.
Ensemble numbers wero rendered by
two classes of eight players each. A
large number of students took part In
the recital, of whom forty-three np.
peared for the first time.
C0ND DAY OF
IS CREATING UNBOUNDED EN
THUSIASM. Dances Lnst Night Woro Prcttlor
Than Evor Miss May Penny
packer Gnvo a Pretty Spanish
Dance Children's Dances at tho
Matineo Wore a Series of Beautiful
Pictures Little Ones Acquitted
Themsolveo Most Creditnbly Cin
derella Story Told in Allegory.
The IClrmess Is creating tho most
unbounded enthusiasm. Tho Lyceum
wns crowded last night and tho prom
ise of big houses to-day and to-morrow
for tho four rJerformnncos is as
sured. Miss Stewart has made this
the greatest entertainment In tho his
tory ot Scranton. Many people from
Now York and elsewhere wcro In at
tendance last night and were loud In
their praises of the beautiful spectacle.
The music went far better last night.
Miss Stewart stated that tho orches
tra had but ono rehearsal previous to
the first performance and that In BUch
a case it Is Impossible to have the
general effect as smooth. It was
thought best for economical reasons to
have no rehearsals. In her recent Klr
mess at tlio Waldorf-Astoria the or
chestra ot ten pieces cost $250.00.
All the dances ot Thursday night
wcro on last night except the horn
pipe and little Mis3 Armburst's pretty
clog dance. The performance wns over
at 10:20 but dancing was enjoyed until
midnight. Tho refreshment committee
under tho direction of Mrs. F. L. Peck
nnd Mrs. II. J. Hull, had attractive
booths on ono side of the stage. Tho
ladies who assisted wero Misses Park
er, Kern, Short and Osland and Misses
Mabel and Myrtle Watrous and Mary
Magrahn.
The confectionery and flower ushers
were: Messrs. William Matthews,
Richmond Tracy, Arthur Matthews,
D'Andelot Belln, Ernest Coolidge,
John Qulnn, Frank Powell, Harry
Clark, Carl Schadt, Dudley Sanderson.
The flower booth under direction of
Mrs. Schadt is located in the west cor
ner of the theatre, and It Is hoped that
It will be better patronized. The flow
ers are contributed and as many are
given to tho performers it wilt swell
the receipts to buy them at the Kir
mess. Messrs. II. A. Knapp, J. H. Lowry,
Eugene Healey and J. F. Broadbent
played the whist game, tho former win
ning by three points.
The scores were kept last night in
the voting contest by Messrs. J. H.
Brooks nnd W. J. Torrey. Mr. A. H.
Storrs was in charge of the matinee
voting.
PRETTIER THAN EVER.
Tho dances wero prettier than over
last night. Miss May Pennypacker
gave a beautiful Spanish dance which
elicited much applause and was a
series of chrmlng pictures. The other
solo dancers did most artistic work.
It is a pity that all the wee people
cannot be on tho stage in the evening
so that everybody can see the lovely
picture, and the delightful antics
which alternately convulsed and
charmed the large audience at the Klr
mess yesterday afternoon.
It was by far the prettiest spectacle
ever seen on a Scranton stage, Such
costuming, such grouping, such darling
little men and women as made up those
pictures! They never fall Into awk
ward poses, those unconscious actors.
Life for them is so much "pretending"
that to bo a princess, a beggar maid, a
fairy, or a soldier, is perfectly natural
and reasonable and follows In the
course of human events.
The opening scene of the matinee
performance is the beginning ot the
old story ot Cinderella the "Ashen
Puttel" of Germany folk-lore and the
dearest of fairy tales to children of all
races. Tho curtain discloses Cinderella
(little Katharine Coursen) asleep by
the hearth-side. The cruel stepsisters,
(Emma Taylor and Elizabeth Storrs,
two little maidens too fair and sweet
for sucli roles), enter arrayed in their
shining gowns for the Princess ball.
They taunt the poor little sister In her
coarse rags nnd as they leave her,
she throws herself to the floor In sobs,
and somehow, you who watch, feel a
tightening in your throat and see the
dim stage through eyes which grow
suddenly misty these little folk are
rcalastic In their acting.
Then comes tlio Fairy God mother
(Romayne Spencer) in her peaked hat
and red dress. Tlio fairies are dis
closed in tho background nnd soon
Cinderella disappears in tho golden
chariot which these silver-winged mes
sengers draw.
THE GRAND MARCH.
The curtain comes up tlio second
time on the grand march when all
the children aro seen on the stage. The
ball follows with all the pretty dances,
while tho Prince and his court sit on a
raised platform overlooking tho fes
tivities. Tho Dance of the Fairies comes first.
Lovely etherenl little creatures they
are with their diaphonous frocks tip
ped In silver spangles. Little Evelyn
Sumter, a veritable Queen Mtib in her
green robe is marvellously capable In
her role of Fair Queen, That small
head of lier's has brains as well as
tho tiny feet havo rhythm and light
ness. The chnperoncs of this dance are;

crones are Mrs. F. At. Spencer and

ARE AlERE BABIES.
The Dutch reel Is composed of mere
babies at least, so they seem at first
glance. These suuare little people In
their Hliort-wnlstcd red and blue cos
tumes are excruciatingly funny.
Tiny Christine Gsehwlndt, plump
and dimpled ami funny, sang a tele
phone song, which was a feature of
the day.
But the finale ot dances Is the beau
tiful court dance, tho Cinderella ga
votte. Hero the small men and maid
ens wear empire costumes of rich and
beautiful brocades, have powdered
hair and In general condilct themselves
like "grown-ups." It Is here, as the
clock strikes VI, little Cinderella turns
and floes in obedience to tho fairy
god-mother's previous command, and
Prince Charming loses her from his
side. Prince Charming is Philip Piatt
and later, in tho attempt to find an
owner for tho little slipper, ho added
much to the attractive details of the
scene, which finishes with tho embrace
of the true owner, In her old clothing,
accompanied by the fairy god-mother,
and tlio curtain rings down as Cin
derella fits on the tiny shoo and
emerges from her chrysalis into tho
white satin ball dress. It Is a beauti
ful entertainment, and you don't want
to miss It.
