RESOLUTIONS OF REGRET.
Adopted by the Directors of the
Traders National Bank.

The following resolutions have been
adopted by the directors of the Trad
ers' National bank on the death of
James NJ. Everhart:
Whereas, 1t has pleased Almighty God in
His infinite wisdom to remove from our
midst our honored and trusted fellow
member James NJ. Everhart; and
Whereas, The intimate and aff2ctionate
relations resulting from his service of
seven years on this board as a fellow-di-
rector, makes 1t proper and fitting that We
should place upon our records our appre-
citation of mis- unsCltiSh services and our
deep regret at our loss; therefore,
Resolved, BY the board of directors of
the Traders National bank, that the sud-
den removal by death of our esteemed fell
low director from the position which he
held as an officer of this bank since its
organization with ability and fidelity, Gre
ates a vacancy not easily filed and that
this board fully realizes and deeply de-
ploreS the loss to themselves and to the
share holders at large.
Resolved, That We hereby extend our
sincere sympathy to the bereaved rela-
tives and friends of the deceased and we
venture to express the hope that in their
afliction they may find some little con-
ISOLATION in knowing that the worth of his
private qualities and his unselish devo-
tion to his public duties were fully ap-
preciated by those with whom he served.
Resolved, That this resolution be en-
bodied in our minutes and that a copy OF
the same be sent to the family of our de-
ceased fellow director and that it be pub
lished in the daily papers of this city.

Unusually Fine Entertainment at the
Second PRESBYTERIAN Church.

large audience last night enjoyed
very fine entertainment given in the
lecture room of the Second Presbyter-
ian church by the Sabbath school or
chestra, assisted by the choir. Pro-
fessor J. NJ Chance, the church or
ganist, who is also the efficient director
of the orchestra.
The first number was "Frolc of
Cupid" (Gruenwald), given in pleasing
style by the orchestra. This was fol-
lowed by a quartette selection, Loves
Old Sweet Song" by Messrs. Croft,
Runyon, Cross and Dryer. Will r.
Allen played a delightful violin solo,
DeBeriots' Seventh Air, with varia-
tions.
Miss Garagan, of the church choir,
sang Sunset" a beautiful piece by
Dudley Buck. Miss Garagan was Civ
en- a cordial reception. The orchestra
then played Rubensteins' melody in
f. The performance was very will
done, and showed the training that the
young musicians have received from
Professor Chance.
Miss Black, OF the choir, delighted
her friends in the singing of "One
Spring Morning" (Nevin), and "You''
(Robyn). William Hanley played the
violin obligato.

the orchestra, was skillfully given. At
this point in the programme the church
quartette, Misses Black and Garagan,
Messrs. Beynon and Morgan, sang

lightful entertainment was the Mas
ter Miner" played by the orchestra.
Charles Doersam, assistant to Pro-
fessor Chance, added valuable assist
ance to the success Of the concert.

HOW SHE KNEW 1T.
A Youngster Who Recognized That
He Had Reen Detpcted

A child 8 years of age had developed
a bad habit of rising in the night to
drink from the water bottle, and had
been forbidden in vain. on the night
Of a recent storm the parents, being
away, his aunt tucked him safely in
bed.
Now, Dickey," she said, remember
1 can tell If you go to the water bot
tie"
"Oh, no, auntie," he smiled, slyly
"how can you?"
Il can TELL" she said, with convic-
tion.
But how?" said Dick, skeptically.
II can" she repeated, land, since
you won't promise, you naughty boy,
shall empty the bottle" And she did
so, to the young reprobate's consterna-
tion.
In the middle of the night the gable
of the house was blown down, and
crushed like thunder through the cell
ing of Master Dicks room. AS his
aunt and the servants rushed in a ter.
rible sight met their gaze. The bed
was almost hidden by masses of bricks
and masonry, two iron feet at the head
being driven completely through the
floor. With a Shrek his aunt fell or
her knees. 20, Dicky! poor Dicky!'
she cried. Hes been killed"
The words had hardly left her lips
when there came light, faltering steT
from the bath room, and, as they
turned, there stood Dicky, his teeth
chattering with cold. a candle in one
hand, and a full water bottle in the
full ronOoept he Snryauac
the bed with it's ton or two of de.
bris, and then shook his head with
sorrowful admission.
"Yeth aunty," he declared, you thed
you could tell if / did"

BOOT.BLACK ACROBATS ARRESTED
Charged with Having Robbed a Pitts
ton Man of $50.

While amusing a crowd in the vicn-
ity of the Delaware and Hudson sta
tion with their agile antics, yesterday
afternoon, Walter Campbell and
Thomas Colleran, the little bootblack
acrobats. were swooped down upon by
Captain Richard Edwards and Patrol
man Feeney and marched up to head
quarters where they We're called upon
to face the charge of robbery.
Chief Lotus, of Pittston, telephoned
word To arrest and hold them, saying
they had relieved a drunken man of $50
in a Pittston hotel, Thursday night
1t is known that these boys or at
least some two boot-black tumblers,
were in PittstOn Thursday night. IT
is also admitted by the boys that they
went to Philadelphia Friday to witness
the Washington celebration. They de-
ny however that they made the trip on
the Pittston mans money and even
that they We're in Pittston, Thursday
They were held until late last night
and as no one came to identify them as
promised Chief Robling ordered them
released. They can be picked up at
any time if the Pittston authorities
come after them.

THEY WILL DECIDE
THIS AFTERNOON
Board Of Revision to Frame Report TO
Councils on Assessment Decision.
AN APPEAL is NOT IMPROBABLE
If Such n Course Is Decided Upon an
Effort Will BE Made TO Have the
Supreme Court Pass Upon 1t ut
Once.-Board Will Have Two As-
sessments Ready to Meet Any Con-
dition Of Affairs That May Arise.

The board of tax revision and ap-
peal will meet at o'clock this after
noon in the city clerks office and dis
Cuss a plan of action in consequence of
Judge Archbald's decision that the re-
cent special tax assessment is Illegal.
1t is quite probably that the board will
prepare a report for councils recon-
mending that City Solicitor Torrey be
directed to take an appeal.
Not until next February will the Su-
preme court meet in regular session to
hear cases from this district, but as
twenty-four cities are involved in the
special assessment matter and as sew
eral of them now have special assess
ments pending it is believed the Su-
preme court will sit in special session
to hear the case and make an effort
to hand down an opinion without any
delay. Personally, City Solicitor Tor
rey Is anxious that the appeal should
be taken. He has been so urged by
letter from several city solicitors,
throughout the state. So whatever
may be the personal wishes of council
men or of some of their constituents
who have had their taxes increased 1t
is thought that the city legislators will
speedily direct Mr.. Torrey to take the
course indicated.
Meanwhile, the board of revision and
appeal will finish the last of their work
in connection with the new assess
ment and will'also prepare an assess
ment on the old basis. No taxes will
be collected as the board does not wish
to be put in the position of approving
or taking exceptions to the opinion of
the local court. BY having the two as
sessments prepared, however, every
thing will be in readiness for tax col
lections according to the Supreme
courts reversal or affirmation of Judge
ArChbald's opinion.
There has been raised the question of
whether the board of revision has the
power to direct City Solicitor Torrey to
take an appeal. AS there is a division
on that point among the board menu
bers and as they are anxious to avoid
even slight delay it is quite likely that
it will be left to councils to order the
appeal. 1t is believed the Supreme
courts decision can be obtained in
from six to eight weeks.
