An Appeul for the Orphan Asylum.
The Right Rov. Bishop O'Hara has
addressed the following circular to priests
and people of the Scranton Diocese in
behalf of the St. Patrick's Orphan Asy
lum at Hyde Park.
The collection will be taken up in the
different churches of the diocese at
such time as will be most convenient to
the respective pastors. The date fixed
for the collection at St. Ann's Church,
Woodside, will he Sunday, October 1!),
at which it is expected that each adult
member of the congregation will contri
bute according to his means.
The object for which the appeal is
made is a noble one, and onethatshould
excite the sympathy and charity of all.
The circular is as follows :
THE BISHOP'S CIRCULAR.
REV. DEAR Slß: —The financial condi
tion of St. Patrick's Orphan Asylum at
this time obliges us to make an urgent
appeal to the clergy and faithful of our
diocese. The building and the comforts
of the children are all that we can desire.
They have a good home and are cared
for in a motherly manner by the good
sisters, servants of Immaculate Heart of
Mary. But the number of inmates of
late has increased to a large, extent.
Formerly two hundred dollars monthly
w as sufficient for their support, but lately
the number has increased from 50 to 135.
Hence we find it necessary to urge upon
you and your good people to give greater
consideration to the support of these,
our wards, deprived of their natural
guardians, and now left to the mercy of
a cold world, unless cared for and reared
by you and us in that faith which is most
dear to us all.
To contribute to the needy and desti
tute isone of the great duties of Christian
charity, and a duty performed which on
the last day will appeal in our behalf to
the mercy of God when we shall be
called upon to give an account of our
stewardship. We are all aware of the
strong teachings of sacred writ, in which
"He that giveth to the poor lendeth to
the Lord," and when we have given to
the destitute in clothing and food, our
blessed Lord will say on the last day :
What we have given to them we have
given to himself, and these poor orphans
are classed among the most destitute on
account of their helpless condition.
We therefore "appoint the present
month as a time for the collection to be
made, leaving the fixing of the Sunday
to the discretion and prudence of each
pastor. The sum realized will be for
warded to Rev. P. Christ, rector of St.
Mary's Church, 421 Hickory street. We
close our appeal for this most worthy
charity, hoping that all will bear in mind
the words of our Blessed Lord : "Suffer
little children to come unto me and for
bid them not, for such is the kingdom of
heaven."
Given at our residence, Scranton, 3d
of October, 1890. WM. O'HARA,
Bishop of Scranton.
The Pay of School Teachers.
The Depertment of Public Instruction
has been formulating some tables bear
ing on the compensation of female
teachers. Here are a few of the figures
and facts . Allegheny county, with 196
male teachers and 1402 female teachers,
pays its men an average of $57.61 per
month, and its women teachers $39.50.
Lackawanna county has 02 male teachers
and 307 female, and the men receive an
average salary of $48.37 a month, while
the women receive an average of only
$29.64. Luzerne county lias 183 male
teachers, 498 female, wliile it pavs the
men an average of $50.34 a month, and
the women an average of $34.31. Phila
delphia, with 89 male teachers and 2435
female teachers, pays the men an aver
age of $133.20 a month, and the women
an average of $67.20 a month. The
same rate holds good throughout all of
the counties. The district of Allen,
Northampton county, offers a remarkable
exception to the rest of the county in
which it is situated. Allen is not large,
but it does business on business princi
ples. It employs ten teachers; five are
men, five are women; each teacher, re
gardless of sex, receives an average
salary of $35 per month. Compared with
the preceding year, there lias been a de
crease in the State of 812 in the number
of male teachers and an increase of 1038
in the number of female teachers. Not
withstanding the fact that the salaries of
men have always been far out of all just
proportion to those of the women, the
salary of male teachers was increased
last year by an average of 46 cents a
month, while the salary of the women
was increased only an average of 15
cents a month.
Weekly Coal Report.
The anthracite coal trade is in a satis
factory condition, and the fall activity
has fairly begun. There is reported ii
good demand for egg, stove and chestnut
sizes, and all orders accepted are taken
only at or about the new circular prices.
The inquiry for coal from the East is
better than had been expected on ac
count of the large quantities which had
previously been shipped to the New
England and Long Island Sound ports,
and the demand for coal from the West
is in excess of the ability of shippers to
forward immediately on account of the
scarcity of cars. The local anthracite
trade is quite active, and the return to
the city of many folks who make their
summer residence elsewhere lias greatly
stimulated the retail trade. The prices
for anthracite to the line and city and
harbor trade were advanced on the Ist
instant 15 cents per ton for broken, egg
and stove and 10 cents for chestnut, and
a like increase was also made in tiie
prices to the Baltimore and Washington
trade. The shipments of anthracite to
VVestern lake ports thus far this year ore
considerably less than the quantity for
warded last year to the corresponding
date. The Southern tidewater coal busi.
ness is soon expected to begin, as vessels
will be diverted from the Eastern ice
trade and will seek lumber and other
cargoes from Southern ports.
The total amount of anthracite eoal
sent to market for the week ending
September 27, as reported by the several
carrying companies, was 801,731 tons
compared with 779,615 tons in the corres
ponding week last year, an increase of
22,116 tons. The total amount of an
thracite mined thus far in the year 1890
wa524,971,101 tonscompared with 25,436,-
028 tons for the same period last year,'a
decrease of 464,927 tons. — Lcdqcr.
