Took Three Stiaight Gamos from tho West End Wheelmen Last Night on Own Alleys. The JJacKus bowlers rolled three su lorior games last night on their own alleys, v hiring them all from the West End Wheelmen. The Electric City Wheelmen dropped two to the Scran ton Mode, club team, so that tho Itackus ter.m has now got a firm grasp on llrst place. They have the North eastern league trophy practically won, and -ttill have to fall down real hard next Monday night to lose It. The llrst game was won by the mar tow margin of one pin, but the other two gamer were won with good-sized margins.

BlBhop Hoban, Who Also Delivered a Ser mon, in( Which He Made Very Pointed References to Many Exist ing Evils Counselled His Hearers Not to Be Drawn Into Disorder, and to Observe tho Laws of the Country. . lit. Rev. St. J. Hoban, D, D bishop of Scranton, preached a Bermon of much Interest nnd Importance at tho Fcrvlec, yesterday, in connection with tho consecration of the altar of St. Patrick's church, on Jackson street. The bishop spoke substantially as fol lows: 1 take It for ginr.tcd that most of ou arc of Irish blrtli or IrLh c'.tracllor,. Accepting this I will address jou as such, The Irish people lime a religious mission. It is as tiuc tint the Irish had a icliglous mission ns tint the Jews had n religious mission. What mttvii lm Miflerod moie for Its faith? PoAslbly the Armenians or Polei luee mflered cipnlly with the Irish at the bands ot persecutors, but no nition his siuffeicd so much fcr lis faith ns the frlsh. Iheie is no record of such awful outrages, such nwful I Tinny as that indicted on the Irish to sv.eiec them from the faith. I am as firmly comlm-ed that the Irish bid a lcllglous mission as I rm flint the Jews had one. t'nfortunately, how many of us hae filled to carry out lhal mission. Many of ou lnc been models of ilrltie and propriety. Hut hue we all preached Jesus Christ and Ills gospel by our HitM? Unfortunitely, my dcir Iri'li friends, wc hio not all realized our mission. If all of us l .id done what sonic haec done, would not the his tory of the Unlled Slates lmc been dlflfeie'it? How mniv In the city of bcranton aie doing the things of which the Irish Catholic would not be proud? Hac out then been lbes of so brlet, probity, purity and l.oncst ? 'And ct wr are inlssiomues. SHOULD UK MIION'Altti:i. Tliere is not one of us hut who should be a misslomry for the spread of the light. Ate we such? The American people ale a practical peo ple. They judgo men not by their profclon of faith but b their derdr. Tiny don't accept the declaiatiun for the deed. Mny of the most noted coniertH to Catholicism ha'.e become such by the obsereations of the liees of humble Citho lies. The Irish Catholic senant girl by no effort other than her pure life has effected lmny conversions. How much more can the intelligent Catholic do towards spieadlng the light? In the labor forld, in the political world what can not the intelligent IrMi Catholic do? Th" nerjge polificlm is absolutely convinced that he can buy the Irish member of the coun cils or legislature. To the Irishmm this roit ot tiling is iinuitural and novel. The other man is used to it and knows bow to i'0cr it up. The Irishman e.ho sells hl-nsclf Is ilicoeeie.l. The other sort of man is cute enough to prevent Ins offense from being disclosed. New York is, in some minds, nonmnii' of conuption, in a political sense. I doubt if it is as bad as Philadelphia. In New Yoik the cor rupter is exploited. In Phil idelphh it is not discovered, 01 if discovered, is floaked. Irishmen do not selt v ourselves. Irishmen do not put In office men who will sell their votes. Hie sale of a vute is a bid baigain. It is von who in the long mn must pay the price. The distiller' trust, in testifying through its piesi dent befoic the senate committee, admitted that there was Jli,O0O,000 lost between the distiller and th" consumer.

You hive paid money to be misrepresented. I do not go to the the iter, but if I did I would feel like filling mv pockets with rotten iggs and egging this libel ofl the stage. It has been done bcfoie; it is too bad it is not done again. It is regrettable tint the Irish Catholic, or those who should be ill practice as well as pio-fe.-.sion Irish Catholics, are fiequenlcrs of the Immoral theater. There Is one in the same block as the cathedral. It U u vestibule of the house of prostitution. There, lubricity and downright diitlness aie rampant.

Thomas Knight Supplied with the Steel Stock That Roper Was Com missioned to Buy for Him. jdwnrd . Roper, tho stock bioker, arrested In New York last week, charged with embezzling ?2,300 given him for purposes of investment by Thomas Knight, of North Scranton, will not have to stand trial. Detective Deiter started down after him last week, but was flagged before he reached his destination, becattbc of a settlement of the case. One of Roper's friends came on here with the shares of United States Steel company stock, which Knight gave Roper the money to purchase. These shares of stock were turned over to Knight, and the latter thereupon agreed to withdiaw the prosecution. He was practically forced to do so, because after the fatock had been turned over he realized that It was practically im possible to make out a case against Roper. The latter was accordingly re leased fiom tho Tombs. The police refuse to put any stock in the indignant piotcstatlons of Mr. Roper's friend that he merely wont down to New York to purchase the stock, and that he had absolutely no intention of defrauding Mr. Knight. Tho long interval which elapsed be tween his departure and his atrest, and the fact that he had neatly all his be lonsmgs sent after him, Is proof posi tive, they maintain, that he had no in tention of coming back to this city. AN APPEAL. The Tribune has been iic'ucstcd to give spice to the following: To the People of b.ranton and Kndorsrrs of Christian and Industrial Education Anioi-g the Coloted People South. Deal Tricnds: Turner High School, with in diistrnl work annexed, has been established at Covington, Oa , a small but quiet town, for the benefit of the poor bo.vt and girls in the rural diolikts, in ordei tint it imy better rcieh and help lift the masses who aie jet standing upon the precipice of die daik Ftrcim of ignorance, vice and superstition, beg-ring that )ou come and help fcn.v them ovei; help lift them to a higher standard of Christian civilization, for should they plunge farther in it villi only be the worse for them. Having tiught foi twelve jeors in city and rural parts, giving three-fourths of that, time to city work and one-fourth to lural work, and finding the latter field the most needy I abin doned city work and began operating this fchool October 3, 1S0S, soliciting aid In the way of ma terial, money or individuils to work anywhere I could. I hive succeeded in erecting a small building Ifivll feet and the donation of three other rooms for the past and present terms. We are now in our fourth annual session and owing to its growth we are much m neesi of a larger and moru suitable building. The means for canning on this work has been, aul is now very meagic Indeed, jet, who could but feel reluct ant to give it up when they see and know of the existing ignoiance; see bo.vs and girls so eager to rid themselves of the burdensome )ok(. "The harvest Is gie'.it, and the lah'rers aie few." Tills Is true. Why do 1 say it?

Jayne, chairman of the special committee in the matter ot purchasing the old Home for- the Friendless prop erty, on Adams avenue, recommended that the board purchase the property at $20,000, with the idea that it be util ized for a manual training school, an annex to the High school or No. 33 school. air. Jayne explained that $20,000 was the value put on the property by the city assessors, .so that there Is no ques tion as to its being a bargain. There are five lots, with a frontage of 200 feet and a depth of 160 feet. The board is required to pay only $1,000 down and the balance In five years. The report and recommendation wero adopted by a vote of 20 to 1, Mr. Phil lips voting in the negative because the board is required to pay interest on the balance during the live years. Tho necessity of putting some sup port in the mine workings under No. 33 school was called to the attention of the board by air. Welsh, and on motion of Mr. Jayne, the board instructed Ed mund A. Bartl to report what should be done to secure the foundation. air. Jennings laid befoie tho board the request of the High School Athletic association for tho use of the audi torium for an entertainment. The le quest of the High school faculty for permission to visit schools iu other cities, during the Easter vacation, was also presented by air. Jennings. Both matters were referred to the High and Training school committee. REFERRED TO COaiailTTEE. The matter of fixing the Easter vaca tion was refeired to the teachers' com mittee, to report next Monday night. After some discussion, the boaid granted the request of St. Peter's con gregation, of Peteisburg, that tho board should present to the church the tem poiary building built as an annex to No. K. The failure of the Lackawanna town ship school board to agree to continue the arrangement by ivhlch tho Lincoln Heights schlldren were permitted to attend Nos. 13 and .12 schools, for $15 a year, was explained by Solicitor D, J. Reedy, and the matter of excluding those pupils was leferred to the teaeh et.s' committee. air. Evans wanted that such ot these pupils who wanted to continue In the city schools might be: permitted to do so by paying a half-year's tuition of $7.C0, air. Jennings thought this too generous, air. Barker thought that It was not establishing a dangerous prece dent to allow these pupils to finish the year, If their patents were willing to pay tho pro rata tuition, Mr. Jayne also favored air. Evans' ptoposltlon, aiguing that It was unfair to these pupils to exclude them from the schools at this time, Tho Evnns' motion wus carried without opposition. P.
