cptlim tendered lilm by the C'litliolli:
HIstoilr-.it society at tho Knli;hts of
Coliiitihns club lious-e.
A formal propi-amine was yn tried out
the principal features of which outside
the bls-hop's address was the sIliRltifr of
the recently oignnliied Catholic C'honl
club tinder the leadership of Professor
John T. Watlilns. The sltiKlnr- of the
club, considering- the few n'liearsais
held, was rent.ii-kably effective, the se
lections beinir rendered with a fluency
and breadth of style seldom heard ex
cept In lar-re cluuuses havlnir had lontr
inacllce. Th" solo parts weie taken ef
fectively by AIlss Xellle Heainlsh, Jliss
Kalheilue Alonfc'iin and William A. I.y
nott. Miss Mary Xlland, a teacher in the
Illtfh school, read !i scholarly paper on
the llf of Cardinal John Henry New
man, Inclurtinir also a brief account of
the 0-foid monument. Attorney John
J. Muiphy, second vice president of tho
club, was expected to have delivered an
addiess but he was unable to attend
and Hlshop llob.in was Introduced by
his lit other, Attorney Thomas P. no
ban. The bishup'.q address was purely ex
temporaneous. He referred in passiiiK
to Cardinal Xew man's influence on
modem English thought, an Inlluenco
which wlll'stlll be a direct Inlluenco
a hundred years hence, he said. He re
ferted to the lare number of cultivat
ed Kutfllsh men and women, mote par
ticularly writers, who have lately be
come convei ts to C.tthrilleisni. Anions
these he mentioned Henry Harland,
author of "The Cardinal's Snuff Box,"
and "The Lady Paramount"; Mrs.
Cragle fjohn Oliver Hobbs) and Lu
cas Malet, a srand-nlece of Charles
Klnsisley, one of Newman's greatest
antagonists.
The bishop spoke of the "absuid no
tions" held legnrdlng Catholic doctrine
by the majority of PioteslanK "Take
ten Protestants of fairly good educa
tion and apparent culture," said he,
"and I ventnie the assertion that nlno
of them I'd say nine and a half If I
could, have ab.-olutely no , Lonception
of the meaning of the doctrine of papal
infallablllty or the Immaculate con
ception." He said that other people In Scranton
besides the pastor of the First Piesby
teilan church have the "absurd notion"
that the Catholic church lias taught
that tho end justifies the means. The
deslie to know the tiuth about his re
ligion should be foremost in the mind
of every Catholic, he said.
"We are lold of the cruelties of the
.Spanish Catholics In the Dutch wars,"
said he, "but we must remember that
Catholic Dutchmen were arrayed
against Alba and his countrymen. We
must remember also that Alba In his
day was no more cruel than Kitchener Is
to-day in South Africa and than somo
of our own mllltaty leaders In the Phil
ippine Island1."
Macaulay and Fronde are too often
taken as standard Kngllsh lilstotians by
Catholics, he raid. Their alleged state
ments of certain facts when tiaced to
bed-ioek ate genet ally found to bo what
Father "Tom" liut-ke, the great Do
minican preacher, pleliuesiiuely ie
ferred to as "thumping Kngllsh lies,"
the bishop Fttld. "Itrid the Catholic
side and read the Protestant side," said
he, "that you may know all tho truth."
Following the programme the bishop
conducted an Informal levee and shook
hands with nearly every person piesent.

Before Judge Kelly tho first case
called was K. F. N. Kdwariis against
Dr. S. P. Longhtreet. Mr. Kdwards Is
an old man over 70 years of age, who
says he was with Custer at the battle
of the Little Big Horn. He now resides
at Moscow, and sues to recover dam
ages for alleged malicious arrest. The
defendant, Dr. I.ongstreot, was former
ly county coroner, and is lepvosenled by
Attorneys O'Brien & Martin, John P.
Hcragg and O. M. 'Wntson. The plala
tllf's attorneys are Attorney Everett
Warren and James 11. Toirey.
In 1&IIS the plalntllf says he owned a
farm at Rattlesnake pond, lu Spring
Biook township, and Dr. Longstreet
used to go hunting and llshlng thete a
good deal. One time Mis. Ed wards
broke her arm and the doctor, being In
the vicinity, was called to attend her.
Tho acquaintance thus formed devel
oped, and after a time Edwards con
llded to the doctor that ho was in debt,
and also needed money to make im
piovoments about tho farm. The doe
tor advanced money to hint and took a
deed for the properly, Edwards alleg
ing that he was to have a life inteiest
in It.
CONTINUED FRIENDLY.
The lelations of the parties continued
to be very friendly until 1&03, when Dr.
Longstreet said he learned that Ed
win ds was cutting down valuable tim
ber and was running up excessive bills
for vat lous kinds of supplies, which tho
doctor had to pay. The doctor went
out to the fat m to remonstrate with
Edwards, and he alleges that Edwards
drove him off the place tit the point of
a gun. Ho had him arrested for point
ing 11 deadly weapon: making tlueats
and cutting timber. The accused was
taken before Aldetiuan Millar, In this
city, and In default of bail was com
mitted to jail. Alter fifteen days Dr.
Longstreet secured a bondsman for
him, and they settled their dirferent.es
by Edwards agreeing to keep away
fiom tho farm. Tlio doctor secured a
house for Kdwaids and his wife at
.Moscow and has paid the rent of it
ever since.
Subsequently Edwards began an ac
tion to recover $10,000 damages for tho
Mirroring he endiuod while under arrest
and in jail. Thu plaintiff was on the
stand from the time the case opened
until adjournment yesterday, and at
that hour hud not yet been turned over

A verdict for the defendant was re
turned In the case of Patrick drier
against James Kenrneji & Co,, coal
dealers. Grler was employed as 11 driver
hy the defendants and was paid at the

cover two weeks' wages. The defense
was that Grler violated his agreement
by leaving without giving his employ
ers any notice, in consequence tholr
team and wagon was Idle for three
days they lost $30. The jury thought
this n good offset to the wage claim.
BEFORE JUDGI-3 Wll EATON.

ELIAS EVANS
WAS DISGUSTED
HE RESIGNED FROM THE AU
DITING COMMITTEE.
Wanted tho School Board to Take
Action Providing fdi tho Ap
proval of All Blllo by tho Commit
tee, Which Has Nover Had Any
thing to Do Board Didn't Do
What He Wanted Discussion on
Increasing tlio Teachers' Salaries.
Other Matters Considered.
The members of tho (school board
spent nearly an hour last night In dis
cussing a report for tho auditing com
mittee, presented by Ellas Evans, pro
viding thnt no bills bo paid in tho
future unless approved by tho auditing
committee us well as 'the committee
contracting them, nnd providing that
the auditing commlttco meet on the
Friday nights preceding board meet
ing to approve such bills.
This wns signed by five of the mem
bers of that body. W. J. Welsh, one of
the two members who refused to sign
the report, started tho discussion by
saying that he considered tho resolu
tion a reflection 'on the honesty or the
members of tho other committees.
An amendment was offered providing
that all bids should bo audited by tho
committee after they are passed in tho
same manner as bills contracted by tho
county commissioners have been aud
ited by the county auditors In tlio past.
Mr. Evans offered an amendment to
this, providing that all bills not acted
upon by tho committee be taken up nt
once by the board. This was lost by
tho following vote:
Yeas Christmas, Eynon, Phillips,
Murphy, Hand, Robinson, Evans 7.'
Nays II. J. O'Malloy, Roche, Welsh,
Walsh, Jennings, Schrlcfcr, Barker,
Langan, Rolf, Gibbons, Leonard 11.
Mr. .Tennlng's amendment was then
adopted, and when Mr. Evans realized
that the committee was to audit bills
after their payment, he arose and an
nounced his resignation as a member
or tho committee.
TEACHERS' SALARIES.
Mr. Barker, chairman of the teach
ers' committee, brought up the ques
tion of an increase In tho teachers'
salaries, saying that he wanted an ex
pression of opinion on It from mem
bers of the board. To bring the mat
ter before the board, Mr. Eynon
moved that the teachers be granted a
Hat increase of ten per cent. This
matter was referred to the teachers'
committee, after some little discussion,
during which several of the members
expressed themselves as believing that
a Hat Increase would work an injustice,
giving the higher salaried- teachers big
Increases and tho low-salaried ones,
small Increases.
A motion was finally adopted, pro
viding that a committee of five teach
ers from each grade principals, gram
mar, intermediate and primary meet
with the teachers' committee and care
fully discuss all phases of the ques
tion. Chairman Welsh, of the kindergarten
committee, reported that the members
of the committee made an inspection
of tho eight kindergartens and were
highly impressed at tho results being
accomplished through their agency.
The committee recommended that four
new kindergartens bo established for
the coming school year, and that $10,000
be appropriated for the maintenance
of all the kindergartens.
W. .1. Hand made his maiden speech
In championing the committee's le
port, and told of tho great part played
by the kindergarten In tho modern
educational scheme. That part of the
report piovidlng for the establish
ment of four now kindergartens was
adopted, but the matter of appropriat
ing $10,000 was referred to the finance
committee.
The building committee recommend
ed that Pfi-cival Morris bo employed to
prepare plans for an eight-room build
ing lo replace No. 11, tho same to cost
not more than $2'0O per room. This
recommendation was adopted.
Air. Phillips told of the necessity of
purchasing lots on Luzerne street, on
which to erect a building to relievo tho
present over-crowded condition of Nos.
"2, U and 31. This matter wns roferied
to tlio building committee, as wore also
tho mutters of providing for a now
building in tlio Ninth ward and pur
chasing a new site for the school which
It Is proposed to eiect In place of
No. 8.
