Corps opened on Saturday evening on the third floor of the Grand opera bouse building. The opening night was fairly i successful, quite a large number of peo ple attending and apparently enjoying ! their visit. Both of the large rooms on tlie third j floor are occupied by the fair and many j handsome and useful articles arc dis played. Among them are a modern, \ ( high-class range, a bed-room suite, sev- : cral rockers and easy chairs, paintings, j line works of art, silverware, household : ornaments, etc. A number of selections will be played nightly by St. Patrick's band. The proceeds of the annual fairs are ; j applied towards cancelling the debt in- ' curred by the Young Men's Corps in | erecting and equipping the opera house ( building, and with such an object in | view it deserves the hearty support of ' | all tho people who take pride in the I town. j Few places the sizo of Freeland have j as fine an opera house as this, and as ' j I the cost of its construction and fitting : I up has been groat those who took thai risk ought to bo aided as largely as 1 possible in return for their efforts to ad vance the town. The Corps, in spite of conditions of the past few years, reduced its indebted- , ness considerable. There is yet, how- I ever, quite a sum owed, but with the continued help of the public all tin* I claims against the building will be j ' liquidated in a short while. . The fair will be open on Monday. Wednesday and Friday evenings. Hishop'a Council Chosen. The annual conference of the priests of the Scrauton diocese was held at Scranton on Thursday. The principal j business that came before them was the selection of members of the bishop's j council, which consists of six clergy mop. Three were appointed by the bishop and three by the priests. Bishop O'llara was present, but owing to his advanced j age, his coadjutor, Bishop Hoban, pre sided at the meeting. Bishop O'Hara's appointees as mem bers of the council are: lit. Rev. Bishop Hoban, Ilev. E. A. Garvey, V. F., of Williamsport, and Very Rev. P. C. Nagel. V. F., of Wilkesbarre. The three chosen by the priests are: Rev P. I. Mc- < Manus, of Green Ridge: Rev.

The pastors were instructed to trans mit to the bishop deeds of all real estate owned by their parishes. A rule was promulgated providing that no pastor shall incur a debt exceeding SSOO with out the consent of the bishop. Atten tion was also called to the fact that it is j contrary for a pastor or other trusters of church property to mortgage it with out the consent of the congregation. There is also a board of examiners, whose duty it is to examine in theology priests who have been serving less than fivo years, and a board to examine teach- i ers in the Catholic schools.
