FUNDS RUNNING LOW.
Board of Associated Charities Will Have
to Take Steps at 0uce TO Replen.
lsh Its Treasury.

At a meeting Of the Board of Asso-
ciated charities last night, ID. j. Phil
lips was elected acting treasurer of the
board until the next annual meeting,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death
Of William II. Smith, who was treasurer
of the board since it's organization. Mr..
Phillips was Mr.. Smiths confidential
clerk and for some time before Mr.
Smiths death attended to the actual
work connected with the treasurership.
a committee, consisting of w. G.
Thomas, Il. j. Moore and II. J. Kelly,
was appointed to draft suitable resolu-
tions on the death Of Mr.. Smith, which
will be presented at the next meeting
of the board.
The report of Acting Treasurer Phil
lips showed that the finances of the
board are at a very low ebb. The sec
retary, Rev Rogers Israel, explained
that it was unfortunate such was the
case, for there are more demands on
the board just now than there has been
for a long time, owing to the small
amount of work being done in the
mines. The greatest number of COM
plants come from the West Side, where
a number of men and boys have been
thrown out of employment by the shut
ting down of one colliery and the burn
ing of breaker. 1t was decided that
something must be done at once to re-
plenish the treasury.
The case of the two Kelly children,
Of Bellevue, boy and girl, was brought
to the attention of the board. Both of
the children are covered with running
sores. The boys nose is almost en-
tirely rOtted away and he presents a
frightful appearance. Although the
father has promised to properly care
for his children they are about the
streets daily selling matches, papers,
etc. They are considered a standing
menace to the health of those with
whom they come in contact and the
agent was directed to have steps taken
to place them in some suitable institu-
ton.
The report of the agent of the soci-
ETY., Mrs. w. b. Duggan, showed that
during the month she investigated
twenty-nine cases and gave assistance
to twenty-five. Seven of the applicants
were found TO be unworthy. Transpor-
tation was furnished to nine persons
and employment was secured for seven.
Lodging and meals were furnished for
two, one was sent to the House of the
Good Shepherd, two to the Hillside
home one TO the Founding home and
one to the Home for the Friendless
Two children We're taken from Jail
two We're sent to relatives and medical
aid was furnished to three persons.

Of church work hereabouts. Among the
places he visited were the Lackawanna
and Moses Taylor hospitals, st. Luke's
Kindergarten on he South Side and the
Mt. Pleasant kindergarten on the West

This was Bishop Talbots first visit
TO Scranton and he was highly pleased
with the evidences of thrift and pro-
Gressiveness he saw about him. He
was especially pleased with the work
That Is being done hereabouts for his
church and with the conspicuous posi-
tiob it occupies in local religious cir
Cles.
Last night Bishop Talbot was at Jer-
myu where he confirmed a large class
of young people. He returned to the
city after the services and will leave
today for New York where he has
been called to ofIiciate at the funeral Of

lunched at the Jermyn with Rev. and
Mrs. Rogers Israel.

ACTION OF LIBRARY TRUSTEES.
Adopt Resolutions on tho Death of
William 4. smith.

At a regular meeting of the public
library trustees, on April l6, the follow
ing minute was unanimously adopted:
The board of trustees of the Scranton
Public library, Albright Memorial build
ing, desires to record its deep sense of
the aftliction which befell it in the death
of its esteemed vice president William
Tallman Smith. March 25, 1898. We re-
alize that he has left a vacancy on our
board, and in our hearts, which it will
be difficult to fill.
Mr.. Smith was vice president from the
time of our first organization to his
death; and was greatly interested in the
institution and maintenance of the pub
lie library, to which he gave much
thought and time, To that interest, and
to his generous spirit, we are especially
indebted for the fine portrait of Mr. J.
]. Albright (by Chartran) which adorns
the walls of our reading room.
Wise in judgment, sound in discretion,
sincere in expression, and firm in de-
cisiOn, none of the many organizations
with which our associate and friend was
connected will feel his loss more. or
sympathize more sincerely with his af-
flicted wife and family, than this board.
The secretary is directed to have
copy Of this minute properly transcribed
and presented 10 his widow in assurance
of this fact.

trict. Now comes q resolution to COM
init them irrevocably to the city con-
vention and its baleful influences.
Chairman Watkins said that he could
see no such intention in the planks of
the resolutions referred TO. He was in
favor of holding the convention in the
district and made q fight before the
committee for the adoption OF q rule
that would bring about that desired
end. IF the planks referred to con-
tanned any such meaning as Mr.. Hol-
gate read unto them ne was against
them but he could not see that they
did.
Mr.. Holgdte renewed his objection
and further stated that it was an
effort by resolution to change the
rules of the party which could not be
done at the convention then in ses-
sion because it was not assembled for
that purpose and voters had no notice
that anything of the kind was going to
be done. The chairman ruled that this
point was well taken and the portion
of the resolutions objected to were
stricken out. The remainder was then
unanimously adopted.
STATE DELEGATES CHOSEN.
The chairman called for nominations
for state delegates and Edward Harris
of the third district of the Sixth ward
Of this city nominated John b.
Thomas, of Taylor, and Edward Car
penter, Of Waverly. They were unan-
imously elected. On motion of DR.. n
c. Mackey they proceeded to the elec.
tion of alternates and John w. Reese
of Taylor, and Gilbert Griffin, of South

PLANS FOR PUBLIC BATH.
They viii Be Examined This Afternoon
by Public Safety Committee OF
the Board of Trade.

The first steps toward establishing
public baths on Roaring Brook was
taken month ago when plans for
such an establishment were submitted
to the board of trade and referred to
it's public safety committee. Tomor-
row afternoon at o'clock the COM
mittee will meet and examine the
plans, which were made by A. Lang
erfeld, for the project.
No consideration has yet been given
the financial part of the enterprise.
They will be discussed by the commit
tee and if the present time for raising
$4,000 to erect the baths is considered
imoportune, a report to that effect
will be made at the next meeting of
the board.
The proposed building site is on the
north bank of the brook above the
blast furnace bridge and the old mill
site. 1t would be a point between a
continuation of North Irving and
Prescott avenues at the termination Of
a path now leading to the old mill
buildings from u bride over the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western
tracks.
The plans show a main one-story
structure 2S by 200 feet with a two
storied IL" As by SO feet. The az" is
arranged for a restaurant, kitchen
wheel rooms, dining rooms, etc. The
long, low one story part contains 10
sections of as many bath rooms each.
100 in all, each section opening into a
hall that leads to platform above
the waters edge. Affixed to the plat
form, half Of which is covered, are
spring boards and steps leading to
the water.
Mr.. Langerfeld is the present promo-
ter of the bath house idea. he admits
his inability to suggest financial ways
and means. The board of trade ap-
proves the thing but it will rest with
the committee to hit upon a money
plan.
