Citizenship Not Worth So.

Last Saturday special session of
naturalization court was held in Mauch
Chunk, Judge Craig presiding, and in
consequence Il large number of foreign
ers wended their way to the Carbon
county seat in the hope of securing the
much coveted citizens papers. Judge
Craig, who is perhaps the strictest judge
in the state on naturalization, put a
sprag in their wheel by enforcing II new
rule requiring each applicant to be rep
resented by an attorney.
In former years these men could 60
there aud be naturalized without any
trouble, but this year it was different
and they were severely disappointed.
To add to their trouble the attorneys
formed a combine and demanded fee
of So in advance. This cooled their ar
dor, and only four of the number went
through the ordeal of the judges ques-
tioning and returned with papers.

The largest number of people that
ever gathered within st. AIMS Catholic
church was present on Tuesday evening
when the ten days mission conducted
by the Jesuit priests was closed. The
large edifee was crowded to the doors,
and many of those who attended were
made uncomfortable by the enormous
demand for seating room. The closing
sermon was preached by Rev. Buchholtz.
1t was on the subject of the Catholic
Church, and made lasting impression
upon the audience. At the conclusion
the entire congregation took part in the
renewal of baptismal VOWS, after which
the speaker bid them an atfectionate
farewell.
Rev. BuchholtZ, who delivered the
principal sermons, has an interesting
history. He was one of the thousands
of priests who had to leave Germany
on account of the anti-Jesuit laws of
1872, which have since been repealed
Rev. Alien is native of this country,
having been born near Niagara Falls,
but was educated in Germany, where he
spent several years, and later was sta
toned in Austria and then in England.
The three priests left here yesterday
morning. Rev. Buchholtz went to Vine
land, n. j.. Rev. Altcn to the northern
part of New York state and Rev. Geron
to Cleveland, their headquarters.

Something for the Ladirs.

The ladies of Frecand AMI vicinity
ought to be interested in fall footwear.
They usually are about this time of the
year. They expect something new, a
shoe that combines quality, style and

SHE PROMISED THREE.
A Nanticoke Maid Who Said "Yes" to All
Who Asked for Her Hand.

Two very angry young Poles called
on Squire Powell, of Nanticoke, OIL
Tuesday and had warrants issued fol-
the arrest of Kuklonka Appolona, a very
pretty girl, who, although just sixteen.
has done much damage to mems hearts.
Kuko, as she is called, has been in this
country just three months and has had
three lovers. She accepted the first,
John Motiska, two weeks ago and he
spent $50 in buying her ring and a
wedding dress. Mike Grenskin propos-
ed few days later and was also accept
ed and he layished 800 on the fair
Kulio, after she had gone to Wilkes
barre with him and procured marriage
license.
For few days there were no develop
ments, Motiska and Grenskn each
being ignorant of the others success.
But while they were rejoicing in the
prospect of a speedy marriage Mike
Bano, a good-looking young hungarian,
had spoken words of love in Kuko's
willing ear and she had said demure
"Yes," and on Saturday went to the
county seat with him and got another
license. 1t was not until Sunday when
Mike Bano aud Kuko were announced
in the church that Grenskin and MotiSka
compared notes.
Squire Powell gave Judgment against
the pretty but ficlle girl in two cases,
for Grenskin for 500 and for Motiska for
$50 with the costs added. The money is

TO BENEFIT TEMPERANCE.
Scranton Paper Offers Three Prizes fol
the Best Essays on the Sub ject.


From the Scranton Diocesan Record.
Led by il desire to benefit the great
cause of temperance, and to spur its
friends and supporters to a new and in
creased zeal in this movement, we have
determined to offer three prizes for the
three best articles on the subject, "Tl @
Best Means to Increase the Membership
of Total Abstinence Societies, and to
Attract Members to Remain in Such
Societies after They Have Joined"
This contest will be open till the even

nounced on the tenth of October, the day

The prizes will be three-$1O for the
best article; S5 for the next best; and So
for the third. The contest is open to
all, no distinction being made in regard
to age, sex or creed. The only condi-
tions attached to this offer are-that all
articles must be in not later than the
evening of October 3; that they must be
plainly and legibly written; and that no
contestant shall sign his or her name to
the article, but simply some mark or
sign, but not a letter, by which all den-
tity is disguised.
After each contestant sends in his or
her name, letter must be sent ''to the
business manager of REGARD, Burr build
ing, Scranton" containing the sign or
mark which the writer used for the
article with the writer's real name.
These letters are to be kept sealed and
turned over to the judges who will open
them after they shall have decided the
articles in question.
All articles should be sent to Rev. p.
j. McManus in care of the Diocesan
Record, and should contain not less than
1000 words.

test are Rev. p. j. McManus, of Green

Park, formerly of Freeland; and Attor-
ney Richard j. Bourkc, of Scranton.

John Rymsha, an employe of A. Rude

bezzling the funds in his possession.
He was given hearing before Squire

appearance at court.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Williams
came down from Wilkesbar and ar
rested Rymsha upon a warrant sworn
out by Mike Kcmpshinski, of Highland,
charging Rymsha with alternating the
affections of his wife.
From the information furnished by
Kempshinski, it appears that his wife
left some time ago for Chicago, and that
Rymsha was making preparations to
follow her.
Rymsha furnished bail to answer the
charge in court.
