Rev. Father Coffey, of Carbondale,
Gave an Interesting Address on
the Liturgy of the Mass. Miss
Burke Gave a Continuation of Her
Talk on History Which Was One
of the Interesting Features of the
Day - Mothers Meeting Last
Night Addressed by Mrs. Burke.

The Sisters institute opened yester-
day morning with the singing of
hymn, after which Rev. Father Cof-
fey, of Carbondale, gave an address on
the Liturgy of the Mass" The Sisters,
he said, were not merely school teach
ers but religieuse whose work was to
instruct in piety and morals as well as
along intellectual lines. The word lit
urgy, he said, signifies a public SER
vice, great and splendid. 1t includes
all the external worship with special
reference to the Eucharistic service.
These external observances have been
instituted and commanded by God. In
the early days of the church they were
so impressed on the Catholic mind that
members of the church lost their lives
in preference to accepting violation

pose of considering the proposals to

WERE NOT HEARD.

Charles Lowry, representing a num-
ber of property owners along a portion
of the proposed route, appeared before
the committee with a protest against
any pavement in front of their prop
critics until a sewer is laid. He was
told that the committee had no au-
thority TO consider the protest, much
less to act upon it, and that he would
have to treat with councils direct.
Councils have already refused TO en-
courage the objecting property owners.

TANGLE DEVELOPES
In PAVING BIDS
LOWEST FIRM WANTS TO WITH
DRAW ITS PROPOSAL.

Bid Too Low on the Providence Road
and North Main Avenue Sewer
Contract-Joint Pavements Com
mittee of Councils Considered the
Proposals But the Mem .ers Are
Divided on the Wisdom of Releas-
ing the Firm, James B. o'Rielly &
Co., of Philadelphia.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1898-07-27

When the Reilly proposal was opened
in select council last Thursday night
it's low figures on the several kinds of
brick surprised alk the competitors and
those counclmen conversant with
pavement work. Since then Reilly &
Co. have expressed their determina-
tion to withdraw if possible. The COM
mittee has been divided as to the wis
dom of releasing the firm from it's OBJ
legation.
COMPANY'S EXPLANATION.
The company makes this explanation:
1t was furnished specifications on
which to base a proposal, but did not
receive the ordinance. The specifica-
tions include the information that pay
ments for the work shall be monthly,
but do not reveal the provisions of the
ordinance that the cash to be paid
shall not exceed the amount derived
from the assessments and in the hands
of the treasurer, the balance to be paid
in street Improvement bonds on COM
pletion of the contract.
Under these provisions Reilly d Co.
say they would be obliged to ad
vance about 100000, which is beyond
their resources. While the oversight is
the bidders and not the city's. a ma
jorty of the committee is disposed to
award the contract to the next lowest
responsible bidder. This majority says
this course can be taken by accepting
Reilly & Co.'S forfeiture of their 81, 1000
guarantee or by declaring the firm ire
sponsible according to their own state
| ment.
All the members of the joint commit
| tee were present last night as follows:
| Select council-Messrs. O'Boyle, Will
| liams, Ross, Coyne and McAndrews;
| common council-Messrs. Reese, Kel-
| ler Grffiths, +. f. WenZel NJ. V. Nor
ris.
The work involves one of the largest
single paving contracts in the city's
| history. The proposals include the set
| ting of curb stones, grading. the lay
| ing of a small amount of sewer pipe,
| etc.
| COST OF WORK.
According to the lower bids the cost
of the work would be about $66, 300 to
| the property owners-not including 81, =
| 500 for inspectors-and about $ll 200 to
| the Scranton Railway company. These
| figures are based upon the present posi-
ton of the trolley tracks and branches.
| The cost to the property owners and
Scranton Railway company will be de-
creased and increased, respectively, ac-
cordng to the laying of a double track
along a part or the whole of the pro-
posed pavement route. In considera-
ton of the company's agreement 10
pave between its rails with the same
material and method as is to be en-
ployed outside the tracks-somethine
which IL was not obliged to do under
the terms of it's franchise-councils
have agreed to permit double tracks
along the whole route.
The proposals to lay the pave are
arranged in the table in the order OF
their increase, the lowest bid appearing
first. Several other contractors, indi
viduals and firms. were ready to pre-
sent bids but did not do so when it was
learned that their bids were higher
than those of certain competitors. The
low prices appearing in the table vii
be appreciated when II is recalled tha

ton-Madison avenue-cost s2.33 PEI

HISTORY OF LITURGY.

A brief history of the liturgy of the
church followed. The men who were
the means of forming the early liturgy
were mentioned and various terms
such as the Roman Missal the Ordi-
nary of the Mass, the breviary, the
rubrics OF the church. etc, were de-
scribed. The special books used by the
bishop for certain ceremonies were also
mentioned in an interesting way.
After intermission, Miss Burke con-
tinued the talk of the day before on
History, particularly emphasizing the
value of story telling in the study of
this subject. The live interest of the
teacher is the handspring of success in
this. Local history was recommended
but not to the exclusion of the larger
world, lest the child gains an inordin-
ate idea of the importance of his own
limited surroundings. Her prophecy
regarding the probable history of the
Cuban war was that it will be rather
more diverse in it's character than that
of other events, owing to the endless
variety of opinions entertained regard
ing its justification and ultimate re-
suits.
Mrs. b. Ellen Burke then resumed
the subject of spelling. Defective hear
ing frequently produces poor spelling.
She was not in favor of the reform
movement in orthography, as she had
a keen interest in the study of words,
their origin and history. She gave a
number of amusing illustrations of the
ways in which words are mispro-
nounced, and spoke of the wide differ
ernce in authority regarding certain
words. The rules of capitalization are
being more and more violated by the
newspapers and magazines. Slang, she
said, could be dropped without loss
when the writer or speaker attains the
proper standard.
FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR.
At the beginning of the afternoon
| session Miss Burke spoke on History,

French and Indian war. In connec-

of them. and fled to the Catacombs to
perform their outward worship.
In secular life vast buildings are
reared for the administration of JUS
tice, the enactment of laws and the
conduct of municipal methods. There
is a similarity between these and the
churches the Catholic community
builds for religious services. Without
these external forms it would be diff
cult at times to worship God, as with
out His visible manifestations it would
be impossible to know of His plans.
