THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
Go speed, O soul, to your divine
abode;
Go singing through the shadow
and the light
Go bravely on your high appoint

At rest in every moment of your
flight.

AX UXJUST LIABILITY.
The Employers' Liability bill now
pending at Harrlsburg, however fa
vorably we may regard its main pur
pose, has one feature that is clearly
indefensible, Illogical and altogether
wrong. It Is that which makes a citi
zen liable for an accident to an indi
vidual worker not in Ills employ and
over whom he has no control.
Surely it is enough to make an em
ployer liable for the accidents to his
own employes without piling upon
him liability for damages to the em
ployes of some ono doing work for
him under contract. The contractor
is himself an employer, chooses his
own men and discharges them If they
do not suit him. The owner of the
premis.es exercises no authority or
control over his contractor's employ
es. In fixing the responsibility of em
ployers the bill should at least stick
to its purpose and put the liability
for damages squarely on the real
employer and not on one who has no
contractual relations with the man
Injured. It is one thing to hold an
employer responsible for the injuries
incurred by the men of his own selec
tion and over whom he exorcises di
rect authority. It is quite another
thing and most unjust and wrong to
seek- to hold a man responsible for
the employes of another man who
8 working for the first under con
tract. This provision in the Employers'
Liability bill has been severely and
justly criticised. There is a second
provision whereby the owner of
premises on which work is being
done under a contractor may relievo
himself from responsibility by post
ing a notice on the premises and fil
ing another with the Bureau of In
dustrial Statistics. But in small and
short operations men will not think
to take that trouble and the second
ary liability stands there as a trap.
The bill is sufficiently drastic without
this unfair responsibility for con
tractors' workmen. It hits the
wrong person, is without any jnerit
and should be stricken from the bill.
J. & II. IS SUED FOR $0,000,000.
A suit to recover ?G, 000,000, the
value placed on coal alleged to have
been removed in the last forty years
from a number of mines under Scran
ton, Pa., has been filed against the
Delaware and 'Hudson company, it
developed Saturday, through pro
ceedings in tho Supreme court.
Eleven property owners of Scranton
were asked in an application to Jus
tice Gerard to make their complaint
more definite and to bring action
separately. Decision was reserved.
Mine lands were leased to the de
fendant company in 1861, when thero
was no market value for smaller sizes
of coal, counsel for the plaintiffs told
the court, under an agreement by
which the company was to pay twelve
cents a ton for all coal that would
not pass through 'an Inch square
mesh. The coal that did not pass
through was regarded as worthless
and no mention was made of it in the
contract, said counsel.
"In 1872," ho sot forth, "smaller
sizes of coal became not only market
able but more valuahlo than the
larger sizes. Then tho defendant
company reconstructed their appara
tus and the coal was intentionally
broken Into pieces small enough to
go through the inch square mesh.
Thus they received a higher price for
the coal and could avoid paying tho
twelve cents per ton to our clients."
Tho court heard argument oppos
ing the defendant company's motion
to have separate action brought by
the plaintiffs, who are Katherlne
Saltonstall Wells, Catherine F. Sher
wood, Helen Ecob, Frances A.
Denny, Caroline L. Gilbert, Cath
erine G. Francke, Henry L. Gilbert,
Gilbert Butler, Elizabeth Cox, Eliza
beth G. Colt, and Cathercne G. Riggs.
Tho mining operations on which
tho eleven plaintiffs in the suit
against tho Delaware and Hudson
seek to recover tho royalties under
lie North Scranton. They aro what
is known as tho old Rockwell tract,
and the claimants are heirs of the
Rockwell estate.
ABOLISH MARRIAGE FEES.
The Rev. Aimer Penewell, pastor
or tne Euclid Avenue Episcopal
church of Oak Park, near Chicago,
nas announced tnat he would not ac
cept fees for marriages in the future
on the ground that they aro a sort
of "graft" and should bo abolished.
"If the Church insists that mar
riage is a rite that belongs to it," he
said, "then the church should at
once make marriages free to all.
"The minister who does not need
a fee should be ashamed to take it,
and a church whose minister needs
the fee should bo ashamed and im
mediately raise his salary. No minis
ter should be forced to stand at a
wedding with his open hand behind
him."
Dr. Penewell also has adopted the
programme of Dean Sumner and will
not marry couples unless they pre
sent health certificates.

SPECIAL MAY SERVICES.
St. John's Catholic chucu was
crowded last Sunday evening to wit
ness the May Coronation exercises,
the first, it is said, ever held in St.
John's church. The statue of Mary,
which was used for the beautiful ex
ercises, was the 'one preserved from
tho old St. John church. It is the
ono which the adults of tho parish of
to-day saw in the days of their
childhood, and is very beautiful and
fondly venerated. Father Burke
preached a very instructive sermon,
taking for his text, words, "Thou art
all Fair, O Mary, and there is no
spot in thee." The members of the
Blessed Virgin Mary's Sodality oc
cupied front seats In the middle
aisle; the Angels' Sodality and Sun
day school children dressed in white,
had seats on the Blessed Virgin's
aisle, and the Boys' choir had seats
on the Sacred Heart's side.
The Sunday school children and
members of the Angels' Sodality
rendered the following declamations:
Bernetta Canivan, "What Golden
Glories Shone on Thee!"; Elizabeth
Butler, "Holy Choir of Angels";

France. When ho was thirty-five
years of age he went to Montreal,
Canada, where he lived for a few
years and then went to Scranton in
18U3.
Ill Scranton he became prominent
as a private teacher of the French
language and entered tho service of
tho International Correspondence
school March 9, 1901, in the capacity
of principal of tho school of French.
At that time the schools were con
sidering tho advisability of teaching
modern languages by a new up-to-date
system and Professor Lamaze
was engaged for this purpose.
In 1912 the schools established a
branch in France for the teaching of
the languages. Professor Lamaze
was sent to Paris, where ho onened
an office for the schools for the pur
pose or preparing courses in lan
guages to meet the needs of Franco,
Spain and Germany.
Tho death of Professor Lamaze,
as he was familiarly and lovingly
caiiea oy nis hosts of friends, will
be a distinct loss wherever the lan
guage department of tho I. C. S. has
penetrated; and this is in almost
every civilized and semi-clvlllzed
country, thro' his efforts and those
of his able assistant, Senor Jose
Navas. Senor Navas is a cultured
Spanish gentleman, in every best
sense of that term, and will no
doubt succeed to the management
or tne Language schools.

Washington, D. C, May 24. Last bulletin gave forecasts of disturb
ance to cross continent May 25 to 29, warm wave 24 to 28, cool wave
27 to 31. Preceding this disturbance a frost wavo was predicted to cross
continent carrying frosts farther south than usual, after which tho tem
perature trend will bo upward. For May 9 to 13 we predicted severe
weather for vicinity of great lakes. May 11 several people were killed in
Oklahoma and tho U. S. Weather Bureau put out its storm warnings for
the great lakes.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific coast about May 28, cross Pacific
slope by close of 29, great central valleys 30 to Juno 1, eastern sections
June 2. Warm wave will cross Pacific slope about May 28, great central
valleys 30, eastern sections June 1. Cool wave will cross Pacific slope
about May 31, great central valleys Juno 2, eastern sections Juno 4.
Temepratures of tho five days, centering on the day this disturbance
reaches your vicinity, will average lower than usual and will bring crop
weather not of tho best quality. Some local showers aro expected May
24 to 31 and a few localities will get good rains but, as a genoral aver
age, the moisture will bo less than usual, crop-weather rather unfavor
able and on tho side of higher prices for cotton and grain.
About May 24 the cool wave is expected to be near meridian 90, a line
running north from Now Orleans, through St. Louis, a little east of
Duluth and through Canada. One low will be near Pacific coast and an
other near Atlantic coast. Just then the storm forces aro expected to
largely increase, tho two lows become severe storms and the high in
crease the cold and danger of frosts in northern parts of great central
valleys. We would hang out storm warnings on both coasts and tho low
er lakes for May 23 to 25.
From May 27 to 31 severe storms aro expected in tho great central
valleys, particularly in tho middle Mississippi valleys. They are not ex
pected to bo so destructive as tho storms of tho past few months but no
risks should bo taken.
East of Rockies June will bo cooler than usual In tho southwest, about
normal in northwest and warmer than usual east of meridian 90. Prob
ably warmer than usual on Pacific coast.
June rainfall will bo greater last part of month than first part; less
than usual in Ohio valleys and in southern states; elsewhere about nor
mal rain. Up to Juno 15th drought in large sections will injure crops;
following June 15 fair rains may be expected in most places.
