friends in Elmhurst.
The school board met in the high
school building last night and held an
adjourned meeting for the purpose of
considering the report of the commit
tee appointed to investigate the secur-
ing of buildings suitable for tempor-
airy schools. The buildings suggested
in the last meeting We're the Christian
church on Tripp avenue, and the Ho-
ran and Healy building on Mill street.
All the members We're present. Mr..
Wilson reported having examined the
Christian church building and found it
to he entirely satisfactory in every
manner and perfectly suitable for
school purposes. The building could
be rented for $50 per month. Mr.. Hor-
an reported the Horan and Healey
building on Mill street to be unfit ow-
ing to its being unoccupied for num-
Der of years. Another building, how
ever, owned by the same firm and stu
ated on Chestnut street, could be OBJ
tanned. The building was reported to
be in good condition and in all prob
ability could be had at rental of 500
per month Messrs. Bronson and Swift
We're appointed on the committee with
Horan and Wilson to see the furnish
ing and preparing of the buildings for
school purposes. Mr.. Swift moved
that two teachers be appointed for
these buildings. This met with fierce
opposition on the part of Mr.. Ginley
and in consequence a very hot scene
followed during which Mr.. Ginley
asked to retire from the room. He

A Worthy Appeal.
Editor of The Tribune.

Sir:-zion Mission of the United
Evangelical church will celebrate its
third anniversary next Sunday, Jan.
IT, This church is partially sup
ported by the missionary society
of the conference to which it belongs. 1t
consists of some forty actual members,
all of the laboring class The several de-
partments consist of a Sunday school,
Keystone League of Christian EndeaVor,
a junior society and a Ladies' Aid all of
which are rendering effectual service.
The missionary contributions for this
year will average at least $l.5O per mem
ber and other benevolent collections will
be accordingly liberal, and for all pur-
poses will average no less than $40 per
member.
The actual cost of the church and lot
is trifle less than $500. a debt of about
S1,S0O rests on the said property. one pur-
pose of this anniversary is to at least cam
eel the debt on the church.
In view of the foregoing modest state
ment, We believe, no more worthy cause
appeals to the philanthropy of the people
of this city than this one. And We're it
not for the cause of Christ and in the in
terest of righteousness, we could not pre-
sumo even upon the charity of the public,
But we do appeal for aid because we are
not ashamed of the cause we represent.
How many of our generous citizens whom
the Lord appointed stewards will come
to our help? Because of the many similar
appeals we assure you we shall be CRATE
full for any contributions, however small.
We earnestly invite the public to our an
niversary and solicit hearty response to
this appeal. Contributions may be sent TO
the undersigned, who will cheerfully ac-
knowledge the same.
Respectfully yours,
Ct. l.. Maice, Pastor.

gest itself to the committee of ar
rangements or if it did they didn't act
upon it; at all events this very appro-
pirate theme was not on the toast list.
There was a toast THE National Dem

stituted for State Chairman John NJ.

the "Judiciary;" Edward Merrifield
told of The Day We Celebrate:" May

Democratic Organizations" Hon. John
+. Quinnan spoke for THE Ladies" and
City Treasurer G. G.. Boland had the
subject Just Wait Till Next Time"
or as it appeared on the toast 1900"
Nowhere, however, was there any allu-
sion to what to a man on the fence
would seem to be the most timely topic
for discussion "Who is the Democratic
Party?"
If the committee was little at fault
in its selection of toasts it was not so
in its choice of speakers. Each of
those enumerated above did full justice
to the theme assigned him and with
the eloquent predatory speech of Coun-
ty Chairman II. j. Jennings, chairman
of the banquet, and the witty opening
and happy introductions of the toast
master, the eloquent and entertaining
Colonel Frank j. Fitzsimmons, a most
enjoyable evening of oratory and wit
was enjoyed.
The first part of the evenings pro-
gramme was in keeping with what fol-
lowed and Landlord Mcbride has Just
cause to feel proud of his efforts as a
caterer. The dinner comprised seven
full courses and lacked nothing ap-
propriate that the season affords.
1.aWrence's orchestra discoursed ex-
cellent music during the progress of the
dinner and. a colOred quartette enliv-
ened the occasion with their merry
melodies at intervals during the post
prandial exercises. All in all it was a
most enjoyable affair, a fitting ceebra-
tion of DemOcracy's eXemplar, the in
trepd Andrew.

GOOD FARCE COMEDY.
Entertained a Large Audience at the
Frothjnrhnm Inst Night,

"a Railroad Ticket" one of the most
popular farce comedies that visits
Scranton entertained large audience
at the rockingham last night.
The stars of the company this year
are Louis Wesley and Miss Marie Stu
art, although Arthur Mouton, who has
been with the farce for several years,
Is as clever as ever
There are a number of good special
ties introduced during the progress of
the farce. Miss Stuart gave an imita
tion of some Of the French concert hall
artists that was very well done.
A feature not down on the bills was
the laughter of a man with a calliope-
like voice who occupied a seat close
to the loge on the west side of the
house In the last act he so aroused
the risibilities of Mr.. Wesley that the
performance had to come to stand
still several times.

WEBB RUN TO EARTH.
He Was Wanted for DesertiOn and
Threatening to Kill.

Fred Webb, of Peckville, is charged
by his wife, Isabella, with desertion
and making threats to kill her. A few
days ago she caused a warrant for
his arrest to be issued by Alderman
Milar and since then Webb has been a
much wanted man in that alderman's
court.
Last night when the hunt had ceased,
10 give the weary constables some re-
freshments and rest, there strolled into
Mr.. Millars court a man who casually
said. Have you a warrant for Mr..
Webb's arrest" Alderman Millar said
he had and being suspicious of the
questioner asked him ARE you Mr..
Webb?" The caller denied that he
was and turned to leave. He was go
ing down stairs when he met Mrs.
Webb coming up. She gave the alarm
and Constable Carman gave chase af-
ter Webb but the latter eluded him.
Subsequently Detective Clifford ar
rested Webb and the alderman commit
ted the prisoner to Jail in default Of
