Church Dedication.


One of the leading church events
in the history of our city was the
dedication of the beautiful new
Primitive Methodist church last
Sunday. Everything was in com
plete readiness, and the elaborate
program published in last weeks
| TRIBUNE was carried out to the
letter.
The sermon in the morning by
Rev. w. J. G. Bond, of Kewanee,
ILL.,, was undoubtedly one of the
ablest ever delivered by that able
divine, which is saying considerable,
for We all know from years of ex-
perience that MIR. Bonds efforts in
the pulpi, are all such as only
emanate from deep thinking mind.

hell shall not prevail against it."
His expressions were grand and

every hearer Would that we could
cause our pen to do them justice
The afternoon services were in

very large number attended and the
special biblical aud literary program
proved very entertaining and profta.
bic to ali.
At the evening service Rev. Thos.
Kent, whose pastorate here in years
gone was SO pleasantly and profla-
bly, conducted that he endeared him
self in the hearts of our people to a
lifelong degree, occupied the pulpit
in the evening. He took for his text,
"If be lifted up from the earth |
will draw all men unto me-" His
manner, as all know, was cool, earn
est and magnetic. But few ministers
display more depth of thought, or
can expound the gospel in a clearer,
simpler manner 1t was a happy
hit to secure his services for the
occasion.
The financial statement was pre-
sented by Phil. Allen, Jr., who has
been, perhaps more than any one
! else, the inspiration Of the move
ment that has eliminated in the
erection of this magnificent struct.

quired $22 400. OF this about Sl3, 800
still remained unraised, but $4,000
were secured by collection and sub
scription at the three services, leav-
ing an Indebtedness Of only $4,000,
which is regarded as a light burden
for the energetic members Of the
church.
Rev. 5. X. Chubb seemed the
directing mind in all the services
and displayed his usual wit, tact
and zeal.
The choir is entitled to much
praise for the excellent manner in
which they rendered the several
choice selections

that no lives were lost.
EVERY man who has ever made a
real success has valued himself far
above all his possessions, aud has
been willing to invest freely in
ev erything obtainable that could add
TO his power and resources as q man.
A pitiable sight, truly, is that of a
young man clinging timidly to a
little property, fearful Of losing it,
eager to increase it, and unwilling
to take enough stock in himself TO

LIE America, the representative news
paper Of the Italian colony in Chicago
and throughout the west generally, has
special Geographic messages from Rome
concerning the exhibit at the worlds
fair to be made from Italy. 1t states
that the central committee in charge of
the worlds fair Italian exhibit, acting
with the concurrence of the chamber
Of commerce at Rome, has completed
the organization of the committees APP
pointed by the chambers of commerce
in the principal Italian cities.
Milan, Genoa, Turin, Florence,
Naples and Palermo will, with Rome,
lead in the great Italian display. The
feeling and interest now thoroughly
ava kened in Italy are such that it is
evident that the artists and merchants
fully understand that their exhibits to
be made in Chicago will probably open
up to them new avenues of patronage
and commercial exchange. They are
evidently determined to work cooper
atively and make the very best of the
opportunity.
In Rome Deputy Ferrari, the cele
brated sculptor, is especially active in
the art circles. He was the protector
OF the monument to Giovanno Bruno,
and it is stated that he will send an
original statue Of great beauty Basile,
the noted architect, will forward the
designs of the Palermo exposition. The
leading features of the commercial ex-
hibit will be fruits, samples of
preserved fruits, wines, collections of
medicinal plants, marble, bronze,
and metal work. Collections of
antiquities will form part of the art
exhibit. The italian government has
thoroughly promulgated through the
country it's proclamation in reference to
the worlds fair through the agency Of
the minister of commerce and agricul-
ture. While the government will send
ship of war to transport the exhibits
and give full official sanction to the un-
dertalSing, yet 1t prefers that the de-
tails Of creating, collecting and taking
charge Of the exhibit should be under
taken by the chamber OF commerce. 1t is
thought that this is much the better
plan rather than that the government
;hould have to organize the details OF
the worlds fair bureau. Nevertheless
It is expressly stipulated that the direc-
ton and installation Of the exhibit shall
be under government control.
The central committee has been In
vested with full power to pass upon all
proposals and to decide upon the value,
rarity, and appropriateness OF collective
or individual exhibits to be made, either

JINRIksHA SERVICE.
fhrse Thousand Japs May Wheel Thei
Carts About the Park.

49, -"
Those who looked with so much curl
osity upon the two jinrilsshas, intro
duccd into Chicago last summer by an
enterprising merchant, and which were
sent back to Japan because they were
thought TO interfere with alien contract
law, will be interested to learn that
there may be fifteen hundred or per-
haps two thousand Of the same We
hiclcs ut jackson park next year.
At the meeting OF the ways and
means committee recently the matter
was discussed, and it was decided not
10 take final action until it was learned
whether it would be possible to inn
port tho jinrikshas without ngain
clnshing with the law. There is in
America n sentiment against allowing
n human being TO convert himself into
beast OF burden. The Japanese en-
perer also opposes the idea that his sub
iects are to take u degraded position be-
fore the world. And II the iinrilxshas
are introduced both of these opposing
elements must be overcome.
AS matter Of fact, the opposition to
the jinriksha is by many considered
mere prejudice. AT jackson park they
would prove Of great service. The
Japs who propel them are hardy little
fellows, who can travel further in day
and keep up harder pace longer than
horse can. They are all intelligent,
and they would find their way along
the boulevards in an easy manner and
would avoid crush. II they are
brought into service blockade will
never occur, and persons using them
will be able to get about the grounds
easier than with q carriage and horses.
II it is decided to bring the jinrilssha
into use not less than fifteen hundred OF
them will be imported. 1t is probable
that this legal question will be at once
referred to Attorney Carlisle, and as he
decides 50 will the committee act

Robbed the station AGENT.

On Saturday morning Station Agent
James McHugh took off his coat and
hung it up in the depot. In the coat
was over 500 in money and as much
more in checks. During his temporary
absence carrier of the Plain Speaker,
Harry johnson, took the money and
checks. Upon his return Mr.. McHugh
discovered his loss and as the carrier
was the only person about the depot at
the time suspicion fell on him.
After leaving the depot johnson met
a Sentinel carrier, Ira Jeffrey, and the
two proceeded to destroy the checks and
hid the money. Later in the day John
son was accused of the crime and he
confessed. The money was returned to
the station agent and the two boys were
held upon their own recognizance for
hearing next Saturday.

st. Johns Slavonian Catholic church
at Ridge and Luzerne streets will be
dedicated by Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara,
of Scranton, on Sunday, June IS. The
church is completed with the exception
of few finishing touches, and the ex-
terror and interior present handsome APP
pearances. 1t is certainly a credit to
the congregation which erected it and
the members feel proud of their ability
to add to this town of churches an edi-
fee that will be an ornament to the town
and one that is in keeping with their
numerical strength.
A pastor has been secured and will ar
rive here from Hungary shortly before
the dedication. He will reside perman
emily in Freeland and regular services
will be held.
Previous to the ceremonies at the
church on dedication day there will be a
parade, which is in charge of St. Johns
Society. Invitations to participate will
be sent to all the Catholic societies of
this section.

Murder in the First Degree.

Considerable surprise was occasioned
by the action of the jury in the trial of
Thomas Brown for the murder of Lucius
Robinson at Ebervale, the details of
which were given on Thursday. No one
expected to hear Of verdict of murder
in the first degree, the one the jury
brought in. AS both parties implicated
in the trouble had revolvers and seemed
bent upon hurting one another it was
thought verdict of voluntary man
slaughter would be about as strong as
they would agree to.
Sentence has not yet been passed upon
Brown, but predictions are freely made
by lawyers that he will never be hanged,
as the evidence scarcely warranted the
verdict.
Attorney Shea on Saturday filed
reasons for new trial, and the general
opinion is that it will be granted.

The school entertainment.

The entertainment of the pupils of
the borough public schools on Thursday
evening attracted an audience that filled
the opera house at an early hour and
even standing room could scarcely be
obtained when Prof. Edmunds began his
opening address. With the addition of
music by the p. o. S. of A. band the
programme was strictly followed out and
each pupil, class and school that took
part did their work in a most creditable
manner. The various recitations, songs,
dialogues, charades, ETC., met with much
applause, and especially the drills and
marching of the pupils by schools were
favorably commented upon.
The teachers, Prof. Edmunds and
Misses Gallagher, Lindsay and Schmidt,
deserve praise for their successful effo
in training the children.

COUNCIL MEETS.
The Tapping of Sewers and Other Matters
Settled on Friday Evening.


Settled on Friday Evening.
AT meeting of the council on Friday
evening the matter of tapping sewers
was taken mp, and it was agreed to make
no charge for tapping to parties residing
in the borough, except the so cents for
permit to open the street and sidewalk.
They must also agree to place trap on
the connection.
Where the sewer runs through private
alleys outside the borough limits it can
be tapped upon paying 80 cents. Other
properties in the township can connect
by paying So, and 81 of this will be
returned if the portion of the township
where the properties are located comes
into the borough within six months.
The secretary reported that the Union
Company had filed its acceptance of the
ordinance giving it the right of way
through the borough. The question of
widening Johnson street was laid over
with instructions to the solicitor to pro-
cure a profile of the original township
road and ascertain its width.
The secretary stated he had referred
the matter of dog tax to the solicitor and
he would render his opinion at the next
meeting.
The street commissioner was directed
to see that the parties engaged in hauling
dirt from new cellar excavations do not
I'LL their wagons so full as to have it
falling over the streets. Five sets of
crossings were ordered to be laid. The
street committee recommended that the
grade of the alley in the rear of Patrick
Dougherty's property on Walnut street
be changed, as the water overhows into
the stable. No action was taken in the
matter and the council adjourned.
