AN UNLUCKY NUMBER.
Thirteen Members of Board of ContrO
Met and Approved OF Bills.

hcI ana hppioNSu VI
Thirteen members of the Scranton
board of control responded to the call
of Secretary r.. d. Fellows for special
meeting assembled for the purpose of
approving of two bills for work done
on the new high school building.
One of the bills was for $4,000 In
favor Of Contractor Conrad Schroeder,
and IL is the fourth draft of that
amount paid to date on the contract
price of the new high school. There is
yet to be paid the sum of s103. 900.
The other bill was for s50S.25 in favor
of the architects, Little & O'Connor, of
New York. Their rate of payment is
two and one-half per cent. of each in
stalment paid to the contractor. The
percentage in this case amoun is to $500,
and the 1925 item is for car fare to and
from New York.
Mr.. NotH stopped tanning himself
with his sombrero straw hat long
enough to object to paying the travelling
expenses of the architects. Mr.. Jen-
nings explained that this was an agree
ment made with the architects. and Mr..
Notz subsidized and the meeting ad-
journed.

SERMON ON MCRA7|TUDE
Delivered by Rev. Father MOffitt at
Cathedral.
THOSE WHO ARE UNGRATEFUL
Reasons Why Persons Should Return
Thanks to God for the blessings lie
Bcstows Upon Thcm-Rev. Father
Pagan viii Speak Tonight.

Again last night, as on Sunday night,
st. Peters cathedral was crowded de-
spite the uncomfortable weather, and
| the sermon of the Forty Hours devotion
was preached by Father Mofiitt of the
South Side, his subject being ingrati-
tude. He quoted the parable of the ten
| lepers mentioned in the holy book, how
but one of them was thankful for being
| cleaned.
The speaker referred to the unthank-
| fulness of man that Is in good health; !;
God, the giver of this bounty, Is not
| remembered at all; on the contrary. He
| Is sinned against. That is the blackest
| ingratitude. And 1t is repeated again
| and again, but God, in His merciful
forgiveness, washes mans sin away.
Although this mercy Is shown again
and again in a mans life, yet he Is un-
| grateful to God, and as long as he is in
good health he continues in sin, instead
of employing his thoughts to return
thanks for the enjoyment of that
| health.
| Evidence of His Neglect.
Mans ingratitude Is again shown
when he absents himself from the holy
sacrifice of the mass, knowing of what
that sacrifice consists; fully cognizant
| that the body and blood of the divine
Son, the real Presence, Is offered up on
the altar by the priest. 1t would be
hard to imagine greater ingratitude
than neglect to attend the sacrifice of
the mass.
The speaker dwelt particularly on the
| thankfulness that parents who are
blessed with good families owe to God.
1t Is a most noble blessing for parents
to have a good family, and God, who is
the kind Father that is the giver of this
precious boon. should be duly praised
and thanked for His goodness. Hus-
bands who have good, pure and devot-
ed wives should be thankful for that
blessing; and the wife who is blessed
with a good husband should not forget
to thank God and be grateful.
| Should Not Give Scandal.
Catholics, the reverend speaker said,
ought to be careful so that by their
conduct they may not give scandal to
those not of the church. They should
be thankful to God for all graces and
| mercies, and in the times of grace such
as the present season they should avail
themselves OF the benefits and spiritual
| fruits of the Forty Hours.
Confessions were heard, after the
benediction of the most blessed sacra-
ment, by about twenty priests, who
have come from different parishes of
the diocese. The parishioners who are
obliged to work will be accommodated
with a mass at s a. m. tomorrow morn
ing to go to holy communion.
Rev. Father Pagan, of Susquehanna,
will be the speaker this evening.

CHICAGO MARKET LETTER.

Furnished by the Topeka Grain and Stock
Exchange. Room .. Columbian Building
Wheat opened strong with an advance
of over 18c from yesterdays closing and
remained strong around the opening
prices until about 1U:30 when Partridge
and his crowd appeared on the floor and
hammered the market numerically,
causing decline of over full cent for
the day and closing at the bottom.
1t seems that the Bull crowd have been
whipped so much by Partridge and his
followers that they are afraid of their
own shadows and throw their wheat on
the market regardless of price every
time he is seen on the floor.

BARBERS FALL OUT.

The Central Shop Discharges Its COlOred
Artists and Hires White Men.
There was a row in the Central barber
shop in the basement at the southeast
corner of Seventh street and Kansas
ave. this afternoon, which resulted in the
proprietor, John Putnam, discharging all
of his colored BARRIERS and putting white
union men in their places.
1t appears that one of the colored
BARRIERS named Harrison Jones, was
discharged from the membership of the
BARRIERS union at its last meeting for
non payment of dues
Secretary George Parlinger, of the
union, went to the shop today to get
Jones to turn over his membership card.
It is reported that Jones struck Par
linger in the face. At any rate Jones
was discharged on the spot by the pro-
prietor, John Putnam, and shortly
after the three other colored
BARRIERS, John Craig, George
Gray and Bill Washington were also
discharged for reasons personal to the
proprietor. Several of the BARRIERS are
old-timers in Topeka, Gray especially
so, having held a chair in the same shop
for over ten years.
w. NJ. Jones and ]. s. Banks, two
other colored employees of the shop, re-
signed last week in order to open up a
new shop of their own.
The colored men say Putnam's move
will be d losing one and claim they are
"carryin' off mugs by the armful."
