BACKUS TEAM LEADS.
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. The total of 2014 is seven
pins better than the total made by the
same team last week and stands as

CONSECRATION
,. OF AN ALTAR
CEREMONY TOOK PLACE IN ST.
, PATRICK'S CHURCH.
Conseeratlon Was by Rt. Rev. 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 who are drinking vv'iis
ke.v aie paing for thi.
WILL X1IJV A MAX.
Cuipoi ilions will not hesitate to buy a man.
I do not want to touch on tcccnt local history.
It might awake some vinpleasmt thoughts. I
do not want to dwell upon the lecent conduct of
a corporation which went into our common coun
cil seeking favors. There i-t .1 possibility tint the
street car strike was mixed up in it. It is rot
impossible tint the stieet car strike inL'ht
have been settled but for it, To d veil in c!e
till on these things might be tuiplci-int for
some of trcisc v.ho are he:o Ibis morning, but
on this occasion, the aniuveiMry of St. I'atiuk,
who was the soul of cluritv, I desist, will
content uivaclf with saving do not be at the beck
ot any mm. If ou get something out of it
jour fellow rlli?en, jour neighbor, must pav.
ou may heir some say "If 1 do not lake it
sonic one else will." That is onlv the an
swer of the thorough rascal and consummate
bcoundrf 1.
You have been to the theater and paid money
to tee a redheaded, red-whiskered, rcd-no-eel
Irishman making a fool of himself. 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. How luiny of
thf patrons of that pl.ii- ure Irish or sens of
Iiishf Mand at the cathedral coiner and fie
for yourselves If the patronage of IrMi Cath
olics was withdrawn fiom that place It would be
iiiaele tmmolltablc.
u is ni;f.'Ri:iTAni.i:.
'I his Ls nude the more regrettable when we
consider that statistics tell us that in the
Catholic parts of Iiclind, the men and women
aie the purest on flo.i's whole eaith.

ROPER ISAT LIBERTY.
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? It is
bi cause so nutiy for want of the nccevsary 4p
pnatus to mn the work, suitable buildings, cu
coiiiaglug words of cheer, give up and quit the
fl'ld. How sad, I can but titist the rich prom
ise of l hi!t: 'Tor I am thy fiod, I will rtlll
give thee aid," I am here and wilt ever look
uii Hie bright side and trut in Him who direct
ed my footstepi toward this needy Held wboth
Vr help comes or not. I am happy in Ills seivlce.
Again, it is hicau.se all the endowments gener
ally aie given to colleges, universities and eeiu
inaries In laigir cities, nnd there arc hundreds
of our bojs and girls will never be able to at
tend them. Those who did get an opportunity
to attend schools mentioned, ami vvcin helped
to go luck and teach the less unfortunate broth
ers and slsteii.
Whit can they do without the Christian siu
pithy and help of thnsu who aie able to help
them? I am in the rural pirts siirioun.led with
ignoiance, among theve who arc putting faith
eu'iy efloit llny can to h.lp thcinselve. I ap
peal to every clnritable ChiMian flic nil, every
lover of educational ami industrial worl: to help
us. One cent will place a brick in the walls, It
does not nutter huw small Hie contribution be, it
tiny buy a hiick or font ot timber of sluic Kind,

aiR. WELSH APPOINTED.
The vacancy on the committee on
manual training school, caused by the
retirement of Captain atay, was filled
by the appointment of air. Welsh.
air. 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. J. aiurphy, the now member of tho
board, Is 28 years of age, anil by occu
