HATTON HEARD FROM.
He Issues a Call for Another Repub.
lcan Convention in the First
District.

Republicans of the First Legislative
district have variously interpret ed the
call of H. q. Hatton for convention
to be held Thursday to nominate can
didate for the legislature. The conven-
tion which met in May last nominated
John R. Farr, the present representa-
tive, and the following call issued by
Mr.. Hatton is construed by Mr.. Farr's
friends as an effort to disloige him or
affect his condidacy:
The Republicans of the First legislative
district Of Lackawanna county will assem-
BILE in convention OF Armory hall Provi-
dence, in the city of Scranton, on Thurs
day. the eth day Of September at 2 o'cl ocli
p. M, for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for the legislature.
An election for delegates to the conven-
tion will be held at the regular polling
between the hours Of and Up. m. Each
election district will be entitled to the
same representation as at the late county
convention. II. q. hATToN, Chairman.
The claim of H. G. Hatton to be
chairman of the Republican committee
OF the First legislative district is rem.
iniscence of the Won Storch- -Farr cou'
test for the nomination for the legisla-
ture.
Two years ago when Mr.. Farr and
Mr.. Won Storch were contesting for The
Republican nomination the friends Of
Mr.. Won Storch strove hard to have
new rules adopted. At convention tc
select delegate to the Republican
state convention of that year, 1892
Mr.. HattoD, a North End man. wai
selected chairman. Notwithstanding
that that convention was called for the
specific purpose of selecting delegate
to the state convention. Mr.. Hatton
the chairman, appointed committee
to draft new rules and afterward called
another convention to ratify these
rules.
The only material change made in
the county rules was that the chairman
of the last district convention, which
was Mr.. Hatton, should preside at the
convention to nominate candidate
for the legislature The county rulel
provided that the chairman Of the
standing committee shall preside at the
convention until permanent orgsni
zation is effected.
The friends Of Mr.. Farr hold that
the rules were not legally adopted.
The call for the convention of las
May which nominated Mr.. Farr was
made at meeting Of the Republican
legislative committee, for which meet
ing the aspirants for the Legislative
nomination had both written and yerba
notices. By unanimous vote thu
convention day and the time tt

CENTRAL CITY TENT.
first Meetings in 1t Conducted by
Evangelist Schievera-Two
Large Audiences.

The first Of the series Of tent meet
,ngs in the central city was held on the
vacant lot on Linden street opposi to
the court house yesterday afternoon
when Evangelist Sehievera addressed
large gathering in we'll chosen remarks
upen the revival, basing his subject on
II Chronicles vii. IA. from which he
spoke earnestly upon the responsible
ties OF Christian people, their respon.
sibility for sin and the responsibility
OF Christian characters.
Mr.. Schievera's strong point on which
hesucceeded in impressing his audience
was that Gods people kept Judgment
from coming on the world and were il
not for the church we would not, he
declared, have the world. AS a mega
tive illustration he quoted the remark
of two infidels that they had no use
for tue church. but who when stranded
in land Of savages in an awful storm
thought that they would event
ually be eaten up by the cannibais
until they sighted church steeple
when one exclaimed: 1--WE are all
right and safe; there is church here"
II, therefore. the compact of Gods
people could do so much he urged upon
them to be united during the coming
week and to pray for an especial favor
from the hands Of God. He then dealt
with the power Of prayer and cited the
ease OF John Knox. who prayed God
that Scotland might be saved, and in
answer to his prayer the Presbyterian
church sprung throughout the land.
In speaking OF the singing at the gos-
pei services Mr.. Sehievera remarked
that he did not want any fancy sing
ing operatic tunes" but something
that everybody knew, and concluded
his address with ,fattering report of
the railroadcrs meeting on Friday and
the meetings held down the mines in
his campaign up the valley.
In the evening Mr. Sshievers
preached to an audience which swelled
out beyond the limits OF the tent. He
took his text from Titus il, 14-16. and
spoke upon the "Grace OF God" and
divided his subject into two divisions,
/. What Is the grace of God. 2. What
the grace of God does.
Mr.. Weeden sang three solos last
evening with his accustomed skill, and
interpreted the meaning of the hymns
with much clearness. Messrs. Schiev-
era and Weeden, in conversation with
a TRIBUNE reporter. declare themselves
thoroughly satisfied with Scranton and
believe that much good is being accom-
plished by the missions. The singing of
yesterdays choir under the direction of
G. P. Whittemore was regarded as very
satisfactory. Mr.. Schievsra expressed
himself as being latter the masses"
and more than anxious in his endeavor
to reach and do good to those people
who do not frequent churches. Mr..
Schisvera in private life ismore earnest
than on the platform where his humor-
ous bent of mind seems to be an attrac.
tion which succeeds when probably
other methods would fail In sustaining
the sontiued interest Of his hearers

The conscience fund Of the United

they have in some way defrauded the gov

Lippincott II is learned that this fund
was established in 1911 and now aggre-

been received in all manner of ways and
usually in very small sums. Remittances
are received nearly every week and fire.

For ages the very first gifts which boys

spoons, the established presents sponsors

apostle spoons because the handle Of each
