ADDRESS BY JOHN r. FARR.
Delivered in pittsburg Wednesday Even.
ing-Reasons Why There Should BE u
Law Making Education Compulsory.

The address which Representative
Farr, of this city, delivered at Pits
burg Wednesday evening in support of
his compulsory education bill is one of
the strongest arguments yet made on
this subject. Only a synopsis of it APP
pears in the Pittsburg papers, and from
this We quote as follows:
For twenty years at least there has
been an earnest agitation in this state for
compulsory education. At the session of
81 the house and senate passed com
pulsory educational measure, which pro-
vided for the attendance at some school
of all children, between the age of and

least sixteen weeks Il year. Governor
Pattson vetoed that bill and a large army
of coming men and women cannot read
and write as consequnce. He again ve-
toed ii in 1893. hundred thousand or
more neglected children are the sufferers
and must go, through life handicapped by
ignorance because of the sentimental re-
gard of Governor Pattison for the rights
of parents who will not, when they can.
educate their children. Within two days
of his veto on this educational measure
Governor Pattison signed the amended
factory bill, which prevented children
under Is years of age from working in or
around coal breakers and factories inter

to the extent of preventing parents from
putting their children to work. but Civ
ing them license to allow these children to
roam the streets and to pass into man
hood and womanhood as illiterates.
If we deem 1t necessary to keep out un-
desirable classes is 1t not of the greatest
Importance that the children of those who
are here get some instruction? Their pa
rents have very limited knowledge of our
customs and laws. They cannot talk
English. Most are eager for the rights of
citizenship. In many portions of our state
they are now the balance of power and
the day is near when in some places they
will express the wish of the voters. Police
courts and criminal lists are burdened
with their msdoings. They have low
cred the dignity of labor and reduced
wages. They are with us. however and
the process of their assimilation must be
patiently awaited; but what of their chill

MISS BOICE GOES HOME.
No Telling When the Training School Will
RcOpcn.

1t is extremely probable that the
Scranton Training school for teachers
will not reopen for some time. Miss
Laura BOice left yesterday for her
home in Philadelphia and there is no
telling at the present writing who her
successor will be.
f. l.. Wormser, chairman of the
teachers committee of the board of
control, said last night that at this
time of year it might be found very
difficult to replace Miss Boice with a
person properly equipped to continue
the work of the training school. Super
intendent of Schools Phillips, he said,
would endeavor to find a suitable per-
son and a meeting of the teachers COM
mttee will be held in a few days to
consider the case.
Mr.. Wormser was of the opinion that
it would be a great hardship to the
students at the training school to have
it close now.

GAMBLERS IN HARD LUCK.
Their Goods viii Go Up in Smoke This
Morning.

An unusual sight will be seen at the
rear of the city hall between and 8
o'clock this morning. A bonfire will
be made of several thousand dollars
worth of gambling apparatus captured
in the wholesale police raid of three
weeks ago.
The articles to be burned include a
roulette table with imbedded wheel, the
whole valued at $500, taken from the
room of Eli Ager and JONES Morrey
at the Windsor, corner of Penn avenue
and Linden street. In the collection
are several faro layouts and markers,
tables for STUD and the American
game of draw poker, and large quanti-
ties of chips, cards, tally sheets and
other gambling articles. The property
was owned, according to the order Of
court directing that the goods be
burned, by Christy Armenian, Sig
Cohen, II. A. Eaton, Eli Ager, James
Morrey and William Dumary.

FUNDS ARE NEEDED.
Appeal to the Public Issued by Board of
Associated Charities.

A lack of funds and an increased de-
mand for helping the needy has caused
the following appeal to be made by
the Associated Charities:
The severe weather has increased the
demands upon the Associated Charities
to such an extent as to make 1t necessary
to appeal to the public.
Families are actually suffering Money,
clothing and provisions of all kinds are
needed. Money may be sent to William II.
Smith, treasurer; clothing and provis-
ions to Mrs. w, B. Duggan, municipal
building. f. II. Ripple, President.
Rogers Israel, Secretary.
The agent of the board in conversa-
tlon with a Tribune reporter yesterday
stated that destitution and want is alb
normally prevalent and that the condi-
tion of many families is critical. The
funds now available by the board are
only sufficient for immediate needs, and
there is practically no supply of pro-
visions and clothing.

TAX DISPUTE IS SETTLED.
Judge Edwards Decides That Lackawannn
Township Has No Right to Claim Taxes
from the Portion of Bellevue Annexed
TO the City of Scranton.


Tax Collector James Butler, of Lack
awanna township, will not collect any
taxes from the property owners of that
part of Bellevue which was formerly a
part of the township, but which was
annexed to the city of Scranton on Dec.
10, 1893. When Mr.. Butler appeared to
collect the taxes the citizens, led by
John Hale, one of Bellevues most
prominent men, refused to pay the
taxes to the township collector on the
ground that Bellevue is a part of the
city, and the township has no claim
whatever on any property or taxes of
the district.
Equity proceedings We're begun in
court and preliminary injunction was
granted, restraining Tax Collector But
Ter from levying any tax until the mat
ter should be decided. Judge Edwards
heard arguments in the case. and, after
passing upon them, he handed down
decision yesterday making the prelimi-
nary injunction permanent.
In summing up his opinion Judge Ed
wards said that he could not see how
any doubt could creep into the case.
The law gives all cities of the third
class right to annex townships. bor-
Oug'hs, or parts of either, and this is
done and formulated by action of the
city councils. AS u matter of fact the
councils of Scranton did by ordinance
annex the district in question, on Dec
10, 1893, and that action was final, unless
an appeal to the courts was taken
within ten days. Such an appeal was
taken, but the courts confirmed the
proceedings on Jan. 16, 1894.
1t made no difference whether the act
of annexation ought to date from the
time the ordinance became law, or the
date of the confirmation of the pro-
ceedings by the court Both dates were
anterior to the township assessment
which was made by the supervisors on

the case and the charge of the court.
This was one of THE cases that has a
hidden story of true friendship that
passes all Hypocrisy. Mcdonald is an
old man and the uncle of Gilpatrick
when the latter became involved in
trouble Mcdonald, who had never been
married, always led a frugal industri-
Gus life, and had saved up several
thousand dollars in bank, took these
savings of a lifetime and turned them
over to the city of Carbonate to make
good the amount Fitzpatrick owed as

return was the stock in Gilpatrck' 3
