Tho Ancient Arabic Order of Nobles
of thi Mystic Shrine is an organization
which Is said to have had its origin at
' SJpcca, Arabia, in Cii, and lis original
puipobo was to dispense justice, exe
cute punishment upon criminals who
escaped their just deserts through tho
tardiness of the courts, and aleo to pro
mote religious toleration among cul
tured men of all nations.
The order was "revived In Hurune In
17T6, ami its members are said to have
exercibed a powerful inlluouce before
and during tho French revolution. Us
beginning In this country was In 1S70,
when a translation was made of the
ritual from the original Arabic, a copy
having been found In tho archives of
the order at Aleppo, Syria, by an Ara
bic scholar of rare attainments. The
translation Into JUngllMi was made
under the supervision of Dr. Walter. Jt.
Fleming, sovereign grand inspector
general, A. A. ltite.
The first temple was organized In
New York city In 1S71 by Dr. Fleming
and William J. Florence, the c-orrredl.in.
It was decided at that time that none
but thirty-second degieo Mason-3 and
Knights Templar be admitted to mem
bership In the order, and this lule lias
been since followed. "With the organ
ization of several other temples an im
perial council was organized and gen
eral rules laid down. The older liai(
since had a wonderful growth and now
has over lOO.OtiO members, (
'The jewel of -the order Ih a crescent,
which is a symbol of "a higher and
purer source, tho groat fountain of
light, the sun, which is nlso an mi-
blem of the Great Fiist Cause, of Light
' aid of Intelligence." Tho l'ez which is
worn on special occasions by shriners
if the distinguishing head-dress of
Moslems in till unrts or the world.

DANGEBS OF POSTAL SERVICE.
One clerk was busy throwing mall In
a combination smoker and baggage car,
when suddenly, without an instant's
warning, ho felt tho car leap trom the
track and heard u terrific crash. When
ho regained consciousness the wreck
presented this chaotic condition: tho
two forward cars had been plunged
tiown a seventy-foot embankment; tho
combination car landed in an upright
position with the rear trucks on the
roof, every seat In the smoking com
partment being utterly demolished,
ivWJo on the door of tho mall compart
ment was si huge angular stone welsh
ing not less than half a ton. How the
mall clerk escaped unhurt will alwas
bo a my&tory.
There Is probably no department or
the government service In which a
higher standard of devotion to duty Is
maintained than In llris. Duiing a
heavy freshet on the Susquehanna river
n 1S0O all bridges were swept away nnd
the railroad tracks along the banks
practically destroyed. Four mall clerks
remained in their car until tho water
rising and flowing through tho doors
compelled them to tuko to an Impro
vised raft which consisted of pieces of
lloatlng sidewalks and other debris of
tho current, gained tho postoirice, a
frail craft they put their pouches, and
carefully propelling by poles along with
thhe current, gained tho postofllce, a
mllo away, They found 'this abandoned
with eight feet of water In the htreet at
that point. They were almost exhausted
and their condition was precarious. Fin
ally, however, they were rescued by
boats nnd taken into houses through
tho second-story windows. The letter
mall was ull intact and in fairly good
condition.
Some tinio ago the "jun" on a West
fin road was "short" a clerk because of
sickness. An official of the uervlce Imp-
peneu to uo on the train and volun
teered his services, For fifteen hours
e stuck at his work at tho letter case.
Itne journey or more than five nun
d miles ho had only u sandwich or
.tor food, and stood on his feet
. relief. There ure other Instances
where entire crews have
the work without food for
lur hours
DUNMORE.
The directors of the Dunmore Fidel
ity Deposit and Discount bank will
meet tonight, when bldB for' tho new
billtdlng will bo received, and, It Is
thought, the contract will bo awarded.
Contractor Bllkman, of Providence, yes
terday had a force ot men nt work pre
paring to remove the structure now
occupying the site of tho new bank.
When this Is done It Is likely tho now
structure will bo begun and rapidly
rushed to completion,
A shoit walk about the town's ecu
Hal streets will convince nnyinc that
the borough ordinance regarding tho
cleaning of snow from sidewalks has
not been very rigidly enforced. Now,
before tho hnblt of not removing tho
snow becomes llrmly settled, would be
n good tlmo for tho borough authorities
to enforce tho very proper ordinance
on the matter.
Tho Christmas exercises of the XJrea
byterlan Sunday school will lake placo
on Christmas cvo In tho church. A
programme of unusual merit has been
prepared, under tho direction of Ciiolr
mnster Parry nnd Supeilntcndeiit Mar
shall. Mrs. Charles Oliver Is 111 at her homo
on Green ltldgo street.
A. 13. Baker has gone to Now Castle,
Pa., where ho will permanently reside.
Tho Daly building bus been Improved
by a coat of bright red paint.
Oscar Yost has returned from ti busi
ness trip to New York nnd Philadel

a short stay at Boardnian, Mich,, where
she was called by the serious Illness of

proved. SOUTH SGRANT0N NOTES.
Fine Concert of the Junger Maenner-
chur in the Parish House Last
Night The News in Brief.
Last night's concert at the Hickory
stieet parish bouse proved ti brilliant
success for the Junger Maennerchor,
und the spacious auditorium was filled
with a friendly and appreciative audi
ence. The singing was of a high order,
while the rocHatlons by Prof. M. M.

ovation after singing "The Gay Gitano"
and "The Blackbirds." The tenor solo
parts were sung by Gustily N. Bepert,
who received several enthusiastic calls
alter rendering "Pujus Animam," by
ltosslnl. No encores were allowed,
however, owing to the length of tho
programme.
The society sang several German bal
lads, the most popular of which were
"Farewell to tho Forest," "Farewell
Harps," and "Muss! Demi" ("Fare
well"), folk song.
Prof. Adolph Housen acted as con
ductor, and his Intelligent leadership
was much appreciated. Charles H.
Doersam acted as accompanist. At tho
conclusion of the programme, refresh
ments, consisting of hot coffee, cake,
fruit and sandwiches, were served by a,
corps of lady members of the Ladles'
Aid society and Sunday school teach
ers. The musical pi ogi amine was arranged

nation should be made.
The convention call was again read
and Mr. O'Donnell wus enlightened U
the effect that the convention call was
to nominate a candidate for recorder.
Mr. O'Donnell Insisted that, this was
not in conformity with the proceedings
of the Central Labor union meeting.
Some one questioned Mr. O'Donnell's
right to a seat, whereupon President

had been given a vote because 300 of
its members live within the city limits.

several members who wanted to talk

lows :
Scranton, Pa., Dec. 0, lftW.
To the Convention of tho Economic
Leasuc.
Your committee on platform submit tho
following for you- consideration:
Tho Economic League, of the city of
Scranton, In convention assembled, adopts
the following proposition:
Tho conditions existing in city, stato
and national governmental affairs de
mand tho close attention of woikingmen,
with a view of correcting existing evils
nnd preventing tho futuie corruption of
tho political Intercsta of tho people.
The reckless extravngauco in conduct
ing our municipal affairs demand tho re
pudiation of existing conditions and tho
establishing of a moro economic ana
buslness-llko method in connection there
with. Wo believo that tho administration nC
laws should bo just and equitable, that
law and order should prevail, and that
officials whoso duty it Is to enforce law
and order should perform this duty with
out fear or favor.
Tho granting of franchises to monopo
lies In public utilities Is a crime against
the public Interests, and measures should
be enacted to prevent a continuance ot
this evil, and to so regulate the hand
ling of public franchises ns to restoro to
the peoplo so far ns possible tho right of
control of corpoiatlons now owning such
franchises In this city.
In connection with such action we de
clare om solves emphatically In favor ot
public ownership of such facilities as aro
necessary nnd essential to tho best Inter
ests of the people,
AVo boliovo that the manner of contract
ing municipal improvements, and tho sys
tem ndoptcd In assessing ths taxpayois
tor such improvements In this city Is ex
travagant and unjust to tho w.r go-earners.
Wo declare In favor of such reforms
in this matter as will grant immediate
relief to tho people.
Wo declare hi favor of the adoption of
business methods in conducting tho busi
ness ot tho city, bollovlug that municipal
Improvements should be ns economically
handled as Is the work of Individuals or
coipo rations.
Tho duties of American citizenship do
mand a full and fair expression of tho
neoplo through tho franchise of tho bal
lot. This Is utterly tmpo.--slblo through
tho medium of existing political n.irtics.
lii'iico we appeal to tho peoplo to rally,
to tho support of tills movement for u
pure political action nnd economic ijil
ministration of municipal nff.ilis.
Your commltteo recommends the adop
tion of the foregoing.

Chairman Deviue declared that the
report of tho commltteo on platform
would be adopted If there were no ob
jections. M. J. O'Toole said ho hud
objections ond proceeded to state them
lir an extended uddress. The machin

said, questioned the advlslblllty of la
bor Interests becoming Involved In pol
Iticu at this time. He also called at
tention to tiro fact that President
Mitchell In his Lake Lodore speech hud
advised that union men should strive
to contiol the old parties rather than
control politics with a party of their
own.

Mine Workers, who was among the
spectators, was called upon by Chair
man Dsvino to state Mr. Mitchell's
views on the subpject, Mr, Nicholls said
ho was not authorized to speak for
President 'Mitchell, hut ire would say
that Mr. Mitchell was veiy much put
out when It was reported to him that at

advisability of nominating a county la
bor ticket, he had been quoted as de
claring against the advisability of such
action. "It is better to leave Mr.
Mitchell entlrtVy out of this," said Mr.
