Reception of the Children of Mary. Sunday evening at St. Ann's Church, Drifton, the ceremony of the reception of the Children of Mary took place. For some months past this society of children has heen carried 011 under the supervision of Sister Josephene and as sistants, and their formal reception and admission into the society took place. The announcement at the two masses by Rev. Father Farrcl that the ceremony would take place at 7.30 p. m. brought many people to the church, outside of its regular attendants, to witness the solemn and grand ceremony. Precisely at 7.30 the strains of the organ struck up a sacred march, and the children came filing in and took their seats in the body of the church, in the space provided for them, and later Rev. Father Farrel, accompanied by the altar boys, knelt in front of the altar and after a short prayer blessed the badges and medals about to be bestowed on the young children. At its close the boys to the number of 53 took their place in frontof the railing, while Master Andrew Higgins, in their behalf, answered the responses required of them. At the close of the responses the Rev. Father proceeded to invest each member with the badge and at the same time reciting prayers suitable to the occasion. At the close of the ceremony for the boys, the young girls came next to the railing to the number of 63. Miss Katie McTague, of Drifton, read the initiatory questions, which were answered in uni son by the whole class. At the close of this part of the ceremony Rev. Father Farrel again began the investing of each with a medal and ribbon and continued until all had been gone through. The next part of the ceremony was the blessing the statues of the Blessed Vir gin and St. Joseph, which were placed in position, one at each side of tlie altar. Miss Mary Dougherty presided at the organ, and Miss Mary Davis made the crownation speech and placed the crown on the head of the Blessed Virgin. Mas ter John McDonald done the same for the statue of St. Joseph, except that in stead of the crowning ceremony a lily was placed in the hand of St. Joseph. At the close of the reception the Rev. Father Farrel ascended the altar, ami spoke upon the objects of the Society of the Children of Mary and their relations to the church. His sermon was well rendered, and was spoken of by many who were present as being the most in structive ever delivered in St. Ann's Church. The reception of the children into the Society of the Children of Mary, and the placing of the two statues in the church reflects great credit 011 the Sisters in charge of St. Ann's schools. The Confttableft Organize. The latest move in the way of trusts is that of the constables of the State. Thoße of Luzerne county inentat VVilkes llarre on Monday and effected an organ ization. Their object is to have Legisla tion favorable to their interest brought forward at the next session of the Legis ture and to prevent, if possible, deputy constables, coal and iron police and special police doing the work assigned to con stables. We know that their duties are such, that they run great risk of ever getting paid for three-fourths of what they do; iience this needed Legislation. Of Interest to Coal Operators. The Mercantile Appraiser, of Lacka wanna county, assessed the Delaware and Hudson Coal Company us a powder dealer. The company refused to pay its tax, claiming that it was not a dealer in a mercantile sense of the word. Judge Connelly, of Lackawanna county, decid ed that the company is a dealer, and it will take the ease to the Supreme Court. The plea is that the company merely "furnishes" powder to employes. The case will be watched with great interest by the operators of the whole anthracite region. Changed It* Form.
