The commission for the revision OF the
constitution has begun its work, and 1t is
progressing in that dignified manner
which had been anticipated by those who
believed that the only way by.which a
new constitution could be secured was by
proceeding according to the way provided
by the organic law Of the state. Interested
persons have appeared with drafts Of pro-
posed constitutions and separate sections
to be engrafted upon one, and the COM

that he was a member of the secret

ciety," and could hardly break his
oath. He treated his toast under three
heads, viz, impression, anticipations,
and realizations.
Druggist John r. Davies touched up
on Parks" He drew out the thought
that the day being the anniversary of
the Battle Of Waterloo it was with
some propriety that the man who lost
this great battle was great board of
trade man and chat Napoleon gave the
city Of Paris many improvements in
the line of board Of trade works, among
them the blessing of parks" He then
cited many instances Of the beautlfica-
tion OF cities by the introductions of
these breathing places and offered sew
eral practical suggestions of the OBJ
tanning of parks for our city.
Engineering" was the toast as
signed to City Engineer Joseph p.
Phillips. He spoke of the difficulties
of any engineer in doing his work from
the fact that his work was governed by

them. Their lowest idea of him was
reverence itself as compared with his
highest idea of them" was one of the
neat sentences of paper and possibly
the best expressed idea contained in
any of the papers OF the evening.
Sol Driesen next delivered in an easy,
graceful style and with marked rhetor-
ical effect, an Grafton on "phe Des-
tiny of Our Country" Lillian Elizabeth
Brooks was the next essayist. Her
subject was "Co-education. She dis
puted the contention that co-education
meant either the Owe pg of the
girls physique or the low hg of the
grade Of the curriculiUsl, saying that
experience disproves this and shows
the opposite to be almost invariably
the truth.
Miss Josephine May Stephens was
to have read an essay on Elements OF
Industrial Power" but was excused
at her own request.

each ban1ueter had settled himself
comfortably in his chair, Toastmaster
A. B. Holmes arose and made q few
timely remarks, the pith Of which was
that the same spirit indicated in at
tacking the viands served should
characterize their labors for the board
of trade.
d. d. Evans was called upon to speak
Of the Board of Trade" Mr.. Evans
wished that in the future increased eff
fort would be put forth by the board
and said he, individually, would hear
tily cooperate in all the boards work.
Attorney c. r. Pitcher spoke upon
the subject of Legislation" He made
the statement that little less politics
and little less law making would
be very beneficial to the country in
general.
Hon. John H. Fellows next discussed
"Clean Politics." Mr.. Fellows open his
remarks with the statement that he
had supposed that a.. politics We're
clean. The price of votes, he said,
seemed to have advanced since he ran
for the office of mayor, or at least it
was said so. In a reminiscent way he
reviewed some elections of other days.
The toast of sanitation" was allotted
to DR.. j. j. Carroll, and he treated it
in a practical manner. He cited sew
eral ways in which the health OF a
community might be preserved, and
said that Hyde Park was the health
lest spot in all the Lackawanna valley.
The toast, 1.-THE Viaduct," was given
to DIR. P. F. Struppler. He opened his
statements with the remark that a
viaduct was the greatest want Of Hyde
Park. He then stated several facts
which proved its necessity.
The Press" was the next toast, and
this was assigned to Hon. John R.
Farr. Mr.. Farr remarked, in opening,
that he had been in a position to feel
the power of the press. He had found
that the press" of Scranton and
Lackawanna county occupied a signal
place in the newspaper world.
Diverting a little from his subject he
stated that the politics of Lackawanna
were purer and better than any other
county in the state. In reference to the
legislature, he remarked that the press
of the state seemed to neglect the real
business accomplished and abused
rather than praised. The legislature
of this year, in his opinion, was better
than any since 1891, yet was receiving
more criticism than the others since
that time
1.-THE West Side Hospital" was the
toast given to DR.. M. J. Williams.
Although great credit was due to the
board of trade, he said greater cred
it was due to our representative at
Harrisburg, Hon. John r. Farr, for the
existence of the West Side hospital.
f. E. Robathan was then asked to tell
about the inner life of the city councils.
Mr.. Robathan treated his subject
from a humorous standpoint. He said

MADE QUICK RESPONSES.
Scranton Firemen Had Surprise
Sprung on Them by the Mayor
Last Night.

The companies in the third district
OF the fire department were called out
on test alarm from box 81, corner
OF Madison avenue and Mulberry street
at lc.35 O'Clock last night. Mayor
James G. Bailey turned the key and
His Honor, with a party of friends, in
Guiding Mayor Bailey's brother, Sterl-
ing l.. Bailey, of Chicago, witnessed

partment has ever made
The alarm was sent in after the hour
Of 10 o'clock, which means sleep taps
Tor the permanent men. 1t was a COM
plete surprise. Chief Hickey himself
was not in the game, and he made his
usual prompt response, dressing in his
carriage on the way.
The first appearance was made by
the G. mical people. They were crash
Ing up toward the corner of Madison
and Mulberry at terrific pace. An in
slant later the Crystal horses hove
around the corner as they came up
Linden street. The two wagons met
just at the corner. Driver Campbell
got the best of the turn and then a
pretty race was begun up Madison
avenue toward the corner.
The two teams were on either side of
the road, with the Chemicals about two
yards behind When the corner was
reached the Chemical horses passed the
line only a foot ahead of the Crystals.
Mayor Bailey stopped them before
the hose was released. He had for
gotten all about his time piece, he was
so intently watching the race up the
avenue. The time, however, was un-
der two minutes.
/Chief Hickey reached the corner in
two minutes and thirty seconds.
: The Century wagon from the South
Side made the distance in three min
utes. Three minutes afterward the Re-
lief company, of Petersburg, arrived.
The ''out" taps were sounded before
the Hook and Ladder truck reached
the corner.
In responding to the alarm Chief
Hickey's buggy ran over and smashed
a bicycle on Madison avenue near the
4 Elm Park church.

connected and logical way to show
how, by comparison of the phe-
nomena Of nature and the wonders
which man works, one can be made to
feel the littleness Of humanity and the
greatness of God

however, but after acknowledging the
compliment proceeded in clean and
well modulated voice to read, predatory
to her speaking the farewells, an es-
say on THE Personality of Longfel-
low." 1t was a very entertaining sketch
of his life, and careful and true esti-
mate of his loveable character. His
nature, she said, was like the Charles
river, he loved so well, with rapids or
cataracts, serene and calm. He was
all gentleness, sweetness, tenderness
and mercy and these noble character
istics permeated all his works.
President T. j. Jennings, of the board
of control then presented the diplomas
with an appropriate address, directed
first to the audience and then TO the
graduates, asking the former, as a rep
resentative body of the public to bear
with and encourage the board in its
efforts to give the city the best of
school facilities, and advising the
graduates to make the best use pos
sible of the benefits they had obtained
in the school they were about to

Good Streets" fell to the lot OF
Major M. l.. Blair which he touched
upon in a comparative way. The
streets were vastly different in this day
he said than they were when he was

Il. Fellows Mason spoke upon "Sew-
ers and Drains" in few remarks in
which he expressed his wish that Hyde

forts of the board of trade.
b. f. Laudig was then called upon
to treat of Real Estate" as his toast
He stated that Scranton was a city in
the coal region which was populated
with a home-building people and that
real estate was higher in price for that
reason than elsewhere in the coal re-
gion. owing to the efforts of the board
of trade to better the approaches that
Hyde Park real estate would soon ad-
vance materially, he said
The toasts were brought to close

oliver upon what constitutes a good
secretary" His remarks were short
and to the point and bore upon his
keeping in touch with each member.

the undergraduates occupying the rear
seats, the girls all in pure white occu-
pying the chairs nearest the centre
aisle, the boys fringing the outside
The graduates marched in by twos,
coming down the centre aisle, separat-
ing when the lower rows of chairs were
reached, one going to one side and the
other to the opposite, the succeeding
couple not appearing until the first
had reached it's place. This marching
was pretty feature and was met with
almost continued applause, the friends
of each of the graduates declaring
themselves as their favorite appeared.
When all had reached the places as
signed them, Principal George w. Phil
lips, appeared, and when the applause
which his appearance provoked had
subsidized introduced Rev. j. p. Moffatt,
of the Washburn Street Presbyterian
church, who made the invocation.

GRAHAM'S LAST CHANCE.
n Motion For New Trial to BE Made
Because of Perjured Testimony.

4 Motion For New Trial to BE Made
Because of Perjured Testimony.
Another effort will be made in behalf of
Bristow Graham, whose appeal has been
denied by the supreme court, and who is
under sentence of death for the murder of
Ben Wilson.
Mr. w. E. Morrison, Graham's attorney,
has secured from one of the main wit
nesses against Graham an affidavit to the
effect that he (the witness) committed will
full perjury on the witness stand. The
witness said the matter had been worry
ing him for some time and he had to tell
it. This affidavit will be presented to Judge
Fallgant it is understood and along with
it there will be a motion for new trial on
the ground that Graham was convicted up
on perjured testimony.
According 10 the code, when a verdict is
the result of wilful perjury on the part
of any witness, it is ground for setting
aside the verdict; but it must be shown
that the party committing the perjury has
been convicted. of that crime, and also that
the verdict was due wholly or in a great
part to his evidence. or that his testimony
was material to the result. The matter
will probably be brought up within a day
or two.
