ecutive committee met last evening in

resolution, passed at the meeting, will
be forwarded to Mayor Bailey by Rev.
G. e. Guild, president of the City
Union. The resolution is as follows:
The executive committee of the scran-
ton Christian Endeavor union, in regular
session, now June 81 1897, hereby
Resolves, That we deprecate the desc
grafton of the Sabbath in our city by the
widespread and constant playing of base
ball games on that day. Further we be-
lieVe the said games have a demoraliZing
effect on the communities and city, and
to be against the law of the state. We
believe, further, that his honor, Mayor
Bailey, has both the authority anl the
power to effectually stop the said Sun
day base ball games. And therefore be II
Resolved, That the union representing
societies OF various religious denomina-
tions and having a membership of near
ly 1000, respectfully request mis- honor,
Mayor Bailey, to exercise the authority
in him vested and forbid and prevent
hereafter the playing Of base ball games

tion was submitted to the senate yes
terday but what further action, If
any, was taken, was not stated.
Colonel Ripple when interviewed on
the matter declined to say anything
for publication regarding what his
policy might be, as he felt it might
be presuming a little to take
for granted that the senate would
confirm him. He preferred to wait, he
said, until he was something more than
q nominee.
Postmaster Vandling's term does not
expire until the fall, but as he Is de-
sirous of making a European trip this
summer he requested the department
to relieve him al this time. His resig-
nation will take effect July /, if his sue
cessor qualities before that time.
THE NEXT POSTMASTER.
Few, indeed, if any Scrantonians en-
joy greater popularity that Scranton's
next postmaster. and it viii! doubtless
be conceded that he Is in every way
fitted to give most satisfactory ad-
ministration of this important office.
Col. Ripple was born in Mauch
| Chunk, Pa, February IA, 1912, At the
age Of fifteen his parents moved to this
city locating on the West Side, then
the borough of Hyde Park He at
tended the public schools and after

March 1864 he enlisted in the Fifty-sec
ond Regiment, Pennsylvania Volun-
teers. July 8, of that year he was cap
tured by the rebels at Charleston, s. G.

| by bloodhounds and although he
| fought hard for his liberty was recap

| close of the war he underwent even
worse tortures than he was subjected
| to before.
POSITIONS HE HAS FILLED.
Among the positions of prominence
that he has filled or is filling might be
| mentioned colonel of the Thirteenth
