A Lewiston Man Tells Il Good Story of the

Tho returned Lewistunian fell to talk

and then he diycrged and told this story
"OnCe when we were going down in
the Indian Territory AZ We rode out Of
the village we passed the house where
q New Brunswick girl had just come to
live in the little prairie village, There
bad been considerable joking abont the
new arrival, and as We passed she oamo

the Now Brunswick girl hang up Il pair
of the longest, biggest striped stockings

seized those stockings and pulled 'om

"All that trip down across tho hot
plains and over the rustling buffalo

stockings, Ihad put them int0my trunk

ST. LUKE'S XMAS TREE.
over $50 Children Receive Gifts and
Toothsome Things.


st Luke's church presented a beau
titul appearance last evening upon the
occasion of the Christmas festivities
or the Sunday school of the church and
South Side mission In addition to the
Christmas decorations which had been
allowed to remain, a magnificent tree,
specially ordered from New York. was
placed in the aisle near the chancel
steps. The tree was over twenty-five
feet in height, reaching the top of the
chancel arch, and was loaded with
Christmas gifts and ornaments.
Rev. Rogers Israel and Rev. A. l..
Urban conducted the services, which
were opened by professional hymn.
Onward Christian Soldiers" after
which the special service for the children
was sung in an interesting manner. The
carols, Failing, Softly Falling" STARS
All Bright Are Beaming," "See Amid
the Winters Snow" were sung by the
children in a hearty manner, after
which the gifts were distributed.
A sum of $3.50 had been raised by
voluntary efforts, with which a large
stock of gifts We're purchased. In addi-
ton to gift each child received a box
of mixed confectionery and oranges.
Over $50 children We're present, includ-
ing 40 from the South Side mission.
The service concluded by singing the
carol, Farewell to Thee, o Christmas
Tree" followed by recessional hymn.
A committee consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. c. B. Derman, Percy Mott, Miss
Emily Stevens, Miss Emma Mott,
Misses Bessell and T. II. Jackson decor
ated the tree.
The children from the South Side mis-
sion returned home in a special car.

JINGLE OF SLFF Ill BELLS.
Turnouts of High and Low Degree
Thronged the Streets Yesterday-Street
Car Traffic Resumed.

A large number yesterday took ad-
vantage of the excellent sleighing, and
in the afternoon particularly the busi-
ness streets and favorite drives
throughout the city were thronged with
turnouts of high and low degree. Com
Portable family sleighs and flashy
rigs of practical horsemen predomi-
mated but there We're many who sled
ded simply for the fun of it and were
content to drive almost anything, from
an easy-going dray horse to an illmated
pair attached maybe to an old-fash-
ioned jumper or rickety cutter-any
how, there was sleighing and lots of it.
Along Washington avenue ind
through Green Ridge to the open coun-
try beyond, the jingle of bells was most
incessant; but, rather than take
chances Of encountering drifts in the
outskirts, there were many who chose
the residence streets of the central
city or the hum and life in the busi-
ness district. Along Lackawanna ave-
nue. the merry music of the bells con-
tinued all day and at times the process
sion of sleighs was so dense that pedes-
trians had difficulty in crossing the
streets.
Elmhurst boulevard proved popular
drive for horsemen with nags which
could do as good or better than 9-min-
ute clip. There We're no drifts of any
consequence and the roadway was fully
as favorable for sleighing as the streets
Of the city. The enjoyment of those
who drove over the boulevard was
made known after their return, and
will be the means Of attracting many to
the Elmhurst drive. A loop connecting
with the boulevard proper and contain
ing half-mile track was used by many
who drove fast animals, and If the sun
shines today sufficiently to allow the
snow to pack, some spirited brushes
will be seen upon the speedway.
Street car traffic on all the lines, eX-
cepting the Green Ridge and Dunmore
Suburban routes, was resumed to and
from the city limits before nightfall.
The number of cars running was re-
duced owing to the fact that the lines
were opened in most cases only to the
city limits and because of a breackage
at one of the power houses. 1t is anti
cipated that during today the entire
system will be put in running order.

FUNERAL OF NJ. L. HEFFERN.
Was Employed by the ID. L. & w. Com
pany for IS Years.


pany for IS Years.
A large number Of friends yesterday
attended the funeral of Michael F.
Heffern, late of Penn avenue and Lin
den street. Mr. Heffern had been in
the employ of the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western Railroad company
for thirty-fiVe years and had formed
many close associations during that
long period, as was testified by the con-
course of sympathizers at the funeral.
Solemn high mass of requiem was
celebrated at st. Peters cathedral,
when Rev. j. A. McHugh was cele-
brant; Rev. j. A. O'Reilly, deacon, and
Rev. M. J. Mlllane, sub-deacon. Father
OReilly delivered an excellent SER
mon, in which he referred to Mr. Hef-
fern as an upright, conscientious
Catholic, and man who always ad-
hered to his duty. no matter what
would be said by the world. He was a
good Christian and manifested a great
interest in the salvation of souls.
J. j. Kearney, A. H. Masters, Adam
Faunfelker, John Innes, John Murphy,
and Martin Devanney, all of whom are
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
conductors, acted as pail bearers. In
terment was made in the Hyde Park
cemetery.

M|NOOKA IS BEFR|ENDED
Common Council Passed the Annex
alton Ordinance on Two Readings.
NET WITH MUCH OPPOSITION
Arguments Against and For the Proposed
Alliance - Measures Regulating
Alien Labor and Wages on
City Contracts.

Common council met last night and
passed on first and second readings the
ordinance providing for the annexation
of the south and southwest districts of
Minooka to the city of Scranton. When
the meeting was called to order twelve
members We're in their seats and it did
not look bright for the Mlnooka ordin-
ance, because two Republicans could
walk out and leave the meeting with
out quorum.
Mr.. Battle moved to pass the ordin-
ance on first reading. 1t went through
with rush, and Mr.. Battle arose again
and moved to pass the ordinance on
second reading.
Captain Moir took the floor after the
motion was stated and made a very
clever speech in opposition to the pas
sage of the ordinance. He said it is not
self sustaining is too far removed from
the center Of the city, offers no induce
ment to the city, is altogether not
much better than 1900 acres of waste
land. He is in favor of a greater
Scranton, but this city has not reached
yet that stage of progress where she
can afford to branch out and shelter
such distant foundlings. Before the
city anneXes such vast district there
ought to be some assurance that It
VIII not be tax burden on her hands.
What Minooka Claims!
Mr. Battle replied to Captain Moir
and said that Minooka is at present
self sustaining and will not be de-
pendent creature in case it is annexed.
1t Is built up largely and populated
| with $500 people Its citizens are in
dustrious and progressive and are will
ing to share the burden of the tax. 1t
possesses good schools, and all that it
requires to give 1t the same general ap-
pearance Of prosperity and progressive
ness is graded streets.
Captain Moir on second reading
moved to postpone it for four weeks.
This was followed by a motion by Mr..
Grler to table the motion Captain Moir
and the Republican members voted to
table and then raised the point that the
ordinance was also tabled. Chairman
| Nealis ruled otherwise. The ordinance
then came up and passed on second
reading.
The ordinance providing for the grad
ing of Franklin avenue with vitrified
brick was introduced by Mr.. Godfrey
and 1t passed first and second readings.
Wages on City Contracts.
Mr.. Battle. Of the judiciary commit
tee, reported favorably on ordinance es-
tablishing the wages to be paid by con-
tractors receiving contracts from the
city.
An ordinance passed third reading
prohibiting the employment of any
alien in and around the public works of
the city of Scranton and also to prohibit
contractors doing business for the city
to employ aliens.
The meeting adjourned to meet next
| Wednesday evening.

TO THEATER.GOERS.

The Republican in yesterdays edition
states that James A. Herne will appear
at the Academy of Music New Years day
In his celebrated play, "Shore Acres.'
AS the Republican now poses guide
In the theatrical world I should like TO
call its attention to the fact that James
A. Herne In his No company closes a
weeks engagement at washington, d. c.,
this night, and opens in Boston, Mass,
next Monday evening for two weeks
run, and the No. 2 company are playing in
Cortland, N. Y, to night. They played In
Fulton, Dec. 26, and Geneva the 9th. The
Academy people do not say that Mr..
Herne will be here, but the Republican
does. Which Is correct?

OFT, THE STAR GAZER.
Pleased the Audience at the Academy of
Music Last Night.

Eccentric Joe OFT played a return en-
gagement at the Academy of Music last
night and the large audience was con-
vulsed with the daughter that is pro-
voked as the details of NJ. Otis new
play, 1.-The Star Gazer," are unfolded.
He has no equal or successful imitator
in his peculiar line of comedy and 1t is
this oddlty that is his peculiar charm.
His efforts to amuse are ably seconded
by his brothers, Phil and Matt Obt, who
are in many respects quite as clever and
entertaining as Joe. Besides these
three there are number of excellent
people with the company who assist in
giving very entertaining performance.
