Will Be al the West Sayre Hose House
and AH Are Invited to Atiend.
Last evening Prof. Kirkpatrick de-
livered a lecture at the Howard Elmer
hose house on Socialism, and despite
the inclement weather there was a
good crowd present. He was a very
interesting and entertaining speaker,
keeping the attention of the audience
throughout. He said that the private
ownership of the tool made one man
another man's master and kept him
dependent upon him for bread. That
we lived In a political Democracy, bat
under an industrial despotism. He
showed how at the present time it was
impossible for a man with his two
hands to enter the employing class
as it was 200 years ago. He maintain-
ed that the remedy for this was the
collective or public ownership of the
means of production. He sald that
while this was sometimes looked upon
as anarchy, it was no more anarchy
than the public ownership of the pub-
lic parks and school houses which
was merely regarded as common sense.
This evening a prominent and well
known business man will debate with
Mr. Kirkpatrick. A very interesting
meeting is assured, and as the meet-
ings are free a general Invitation to
attend Is extended to all.
SECTION MEN RAISED.
But Underpald Bate Tenders Are Ene
trelp Ignored.
It was announced yesterday that
seclon foreman on the main line of
the Lehigh Valley roalroad have been
granted an increase of $10 a month
from January 1st and foreman on
the divisions $6 a month.
The section foreman on the D, S.
& S., who were paid less than the
Valley men, were raised $750 a
month, so that their wages are now
uniform with the others.
The mine and cut watchmen were
also given an increase of $6 per
month. The gate tenders, however
were entirely ignored. These men
work fourteen hours per day, and for
this receive the munificent sum of
$1.10 per day: and yet we hear so
much about prosperity the workmen
are enjoying.

Instalird New Pliner.
Thomas E. Gaumer, the well known
Sayre mechanic and automobile man,
has just installed a fine planer in his
machine shop on Cross street. Mr
Gaumer has a very complete shop for
the repairing of gas engines, automo-
biles and light machinery, and is do-
ing a rushing business. He has the
reputation of being the best all round
mechanic in this valley, and can make

“The Volunter Organist.”
Modern stage realism it is admit-
ted bas reached the acme of perfec-
tion. There is not an invention known
to the art of the stage carpenter that
has not been Introduced at our play-
houses, and in these days of scenic
production, anything novel in the way
of effects is certain to command im-
mediate atttention. When William B
Gray, the well-known playwright,
wrote the new pastoral drama “The
Volunteer Organist,” which is to be
produced at the Loomis opera house
next Monday night he had one ambl-
tions in view outside of making his
play appeal to all classes of theatre-
goers, and that was to have the scen-
ble. In the third act of Mr. Gray's
play, there is a church scene which
has been pronounced by able crit-
ics as being the most absorbing part
of an exceptionally interesting play.
In order to give this scene a strictly
religious atmosphere, Manager W. W.
Newcomer, has bullt real pews, a real
altar, real collection boxes and a gen-
uine organ. The latter, a very tune-
ful Instrument, was bulit by Mason &
Hamlin of New York, at a cost of
one thousand dollars. The windows
of the church are fitted with real
stained glass, which as most every-
one is aware, costs quite a sum of
money. In fact, this scene has been
made a3 true and real, that as soon
as the curtain rises on It one is im-
mediately transferred into the realms
of all that is holy. No temple or edl-
fice of worship can boast of better
equipments than this e. Not a

M. Procas, the Greek confectioner,
who recently disposed of the
which he conducted on Desmond
street for several months past, left
town yesterday morning and it is ex-
pected that he will sall for Greece, his
native country tomorrow. Cred-
itors of Procas are mourning his de-
parture, and If he returns to this
country, as he declared he would be-
fore leaving, he will be called upon
to settle several checks which have
been presented to the bank for pay-
ment and rgturned to the holder with
the endorsement “no funds” The
checks for the most part are not large
ones and were given in settlement of
accounts which were in most owed to
business men. Many of them did not
reach the bank until this morning.

drew his amount and departed Be-
fore he went he stated that he had
children in Greece and that he would

where he desired to educate them. It
