material, and when nearing his
destination was assailed by q
number of young men who
threw rocks, one Of which

TO THE PUBLIC.

lt was deemed necessary TO do some
thing for the destitute poor of oul
city in order to help them along IN
til there was no longer danger Of
their freezing to death. Mr.. Kelly
as president of the school board
very readily assented TO the use oil

school building. 90 on last Thursday
afternoon men were sent out to no.

unprovided with food or fires to %
TO the Schooi-house where fires were
kept up night and day, and coffee
bread and soup was furnished ia
them till yesterday morning when
the delightful weather permitted OF
their being sent back to their homes.
They fiacked to the school house in
large numbers, many families re-
naming during the whole time.
Fifty slept in the building on Thurs
day night, one hundred and sixty
one on Friday, one hundred and
twenty on Saturday. and ninety on
sunday night. Coffee and bread
was issued morning, noon and
night, aud on Saturday and Sunday
strong soup and some meat was
given out at noon. On Sunday
there were four hundred at the
school-house to get soup, and the
number of sick at their homes, to
whom some was taken, made the
number fed nearly thousand.

Growing Miniature Trees.

It is vastly interesting to experiment
with an acorn and study its possibilities
as IN attractive window garden plant.
One of the most popular methods of
starting It into growth is to suspend II by
a piece Of thread within half an inch Of
the surface of some water contained in
o ~hyacinth glass. It should be permitted
to remain suspended in this manner
without being disturbed, and after q
time it will burst and throw o root into
the water and shoot upward it's straight
and tapering stem, with beautiful little
green leaves. A young oak tree growing
in this manner in the window is q very
interesting object. Several oak trees and
also a chestnut tree have been noticed
growing thus, but they are liable to die
after a few months, probably owing to
the fact that the water Is not changed
often enough to afford them the neces-
sary quantity Of nourishment from the
matter contained in it, but the interest
displayed in the short lived little trees
is well worth the trouble of experiment.

These stories about the beauty of the
temple at Jerusalem must be taken with
a grain Of SALT" said DR.. Solomon
SCHNEIDER. I'VE must remember that
at no time were there more than so, 900
or so, 900 people in Jerusalem. and that
they lived in small. low rooted huts and
had narrow streets, and that their sur
roundings were anything but beautiful
The temple was not larger than Mechan-
les hall nor more beautiful than the
Park Street station, but to people who
had such surroundings as the Jews at
that time such buildings would be things
OF great beauty by comparison. We must
judge all things by comparison. Dos

ANNUAL FREE EXCURSION.
II Will BE Conducted as Usual BY St
Luke's Com re CATION.

II VIII BE Conducted as Usual by St.
Luke's Cons re CATION.
A meeting of the vestry of st. Luke's
church was held last night, when It
was decided to hold the annual free
excursion for the poor of the city. The
time will be arranged ait an early date.
The meeting discussed the question
of providing a summer home for the
destitute sick. For some years the con-
gregation Of st. Luke's church have
maintained a home at Dalton during
the summer months, but this year they
were unable to make arrangements for
the renting of the house. A plot OF
land has been donated in the same
vicinity, upon which 1T was intended
to erect a permanent home, but the
vestrymen are anxious to secure suit
able premises for the coming summer.
After some discussion a committee was
appointed to report upon a sutabIA
house and place for q temporary home,
and also to further report as to ac-
quirng a permanent home.
The meeting was unanimous in en-
pressing their determination that this
useful and philanthroplc feature of
church should not be broken during
this year. as many sick persons were
already anxiously anticipating the
change to assist them in recruiting
their health. The committee appointed
will report as soon as possible.

OPENING LAUREL HILL.
Gilmorc's Band TO Play Grand Music Sat.
urdaN aud SUNDAY.

Gilmore's famous band will come over
from New York next Saturday to play
four concerts for the opening of Laurel
Hill park, two on Saturday and two on
Sunday, the Sunday concerts to be of
sacred music throughout. Some spe-
cially appropriate opening air, or dedi-
cation ode may be played first, but the
first programme number Saturday
afternoon will be the RienZi overture.
Victor Herbert, the new conductor,
who has already won such renown at
the head of this band, and who accord
ing TO all accounts, makes the band
play better than ever, although of Irish
birth is purely German by education,
having passed some eighteen years in
the land of music, at almost constant
study and playing. He was for many
years associate conductor with Anton
America.
So much Wagnerian element is mani
fest in Herbert's writings that
he is quite generally known in
New York as the Irish Wag-
ner." This characteristic is quite no
ticeable in his latest opera, prince
Ananias," which the "Bostonians" are
now playing with such success, and
some of the most striking gems of this
work will he played on Saturday. under
his own baton.
Another piece of Mr.. Herbert's sue
cessful writing will be sung at the Sum
day night concert by Miss Ida Klein. 1t
is the Easter song, kiss of Spring"
which was, upon special request of
James Gordon Bennett, composed by
Mr.. Herbert and published for the first
time In the last Easter edition of the
New York Herald. On both days the
concerts will close with Mr.. Herbert's
own American Fantasle," which has
been played many times by both the
Thomas and Seidl orchestras. 1t is q
glorious arrangement in a fantastic way
Of national and typical American airs.

OFF FOR READING.
knights Templar viii Make Their Annual
pilgrimage on Monday.

Changes have been made In the plans
of the pilgrimage of the knights Temp
lar from this city to Reading to attend
the annual conclave there which begins
next week. 1t is anticipated that be-
tween so and 75 from Scranton, Car
bondale and Great Bend will go.
First 1t had been intended that all
would depart on a special train at 8
a. m., Monday via Central Railroad of
New Jersey. This plan has been
changed and instead they will go on
the .23 p. m. train the same day. Two
special cars will be attached to the
regular train for the exclusive use of
the knights Templar. The train will
arrive in Reading at 5.45. BY this later
arrangement Scranton members will
have q chance to transact business in
the morning, which might otherwise
prevent them from accompanying the
excursion. Another reason Is that 1t
will give the Knight Templars from
Great Bend an opportunity to go at the
same time.
All members of Couer De Lion and
Melita communicates will assemble at
Masonic hall on Penn avenue at noon
and headed by Bauer's band will have
q short street parade, and thence to the
station.
