PARTNERS DISAGREE.
Intervention OF the Court Asked to
Prevent an Alleged Injustice.

Trouble that evolved an injunction
from court, has arisen between two
factors of the directorate of the Collins
Hale Furniture Manufacturing COM
pany
w. W. Van Dyke, A. L. Collins and
w. F. Van Dyke are the complainants,
and c. e. Spoerl, John Kashenbach and
{. Il. Hale are the alleged offenders
The company was organized in 1896,
with a capital stock of 0000. OF this
amount, S23,500 has been paid in, the
stockholders contributing as follows:
w. w. Van Dyke and John Kashen-
bach, $4,000 each; c. e. Spoerl, $1,000;
G. Z. Hale, $l,500
At the annual meeting held Jan. Z,
1898, Messrs. Spoerl, Kashenbach, Hale,
w. W. Van Dyke and Collins were
chosen directors and these afterwards
selected w. w. Van Dyke as president,
and w. F. Van Dyke, son of the former,
secretary and treasury.
Ignoring this agreement, so 1t is al
legged, Messrs. Spoerl, Kashenbach and
Hale met together and named Kashen-
bach for president and Spoerl for Sec
retary ana treasurer. They then pro-
ceeded to call a meeting of the direc-
torate for Feb. Z, yesterday, at o'clock
q. M, with the purpose in mind OF issu-
ing $4,000 of the treasury stock to
Spcerl for q one-half interest for an
unpatented invention, a machine for
'tutting," which it is claiI ed is not
worth more than 5000 at the most.
To give $4,000 for Spoerl's alleged
interest in the invention, as was pro-
posed to do, would be fraud and the
height of folly, it was contended, and
court was asked to step in and prevent
it.
An injunction was granted as prayed
for, returmble Feb. 18th. j. w. Brown
ing, John f. Scragg and Willard, War
ren and Knapp represented the COM
plainants.

CISNEROS LEAD
THE GRAND MARCH
Annual Masquerade Ball Of the Scran.
tou Lelderkranz,
WAS A VERY PLEASANT AFFAIR
Opened with a Burietta Representing
Carl Decker Going to Cuba and
Rescuing MISS Cisneros That She
Might he Princess OF the Lieder.
kranz Carnival - Masqueraders
More Numerous Than Usual.

Evangelina Cossio Y Cisneros was
not rescued in vain. She acted as Prin-
cess of the carnival last night, at the
twenty-ninth annual ball of the Scran-
ton Liederkranz, at Music hail.
1t was possibly the wittiest and pref
tiest little concert with which a Lie
derkranz ball has ever been opened.
The stage was very tastefully arrang-
ed, the costuming was ridiculously
funny and the mechanical effects were
a mirth provoking travesty on the
modern stage realism.
First was shown a ship departing
from America with gallant Paul Deck
er Uouis ReicharD aboard. Arriving
at Cuba, some ten feet away, he is re-
ceived by his confederates two Ameri-
can newspapermen Qsadore Ross and
Philip Wagner) and after saying a
whole lot of happy things, which no
Spaniard could ever make out, they
proceed to assault the Jail.
The now historic ladder is placed
across from the adjoining building to
the wall of the Jail and 10! the happy
Miss Cisneros (more Familiarity known
hereabouts as William Vockroth)
makes her appearance at the Jail win
dow and climbing out is escorted across
the ladder to safety and the tune of
Home, Sweet Home"
After the risky ladder walking act ie
over the character of Cisneros is as
sumed by Miss Minnie Welker, the
handsome young daughter of II. Well
ker, proprietor of The Fashion"
While the band plays "The Star Span
gled Banner" the ship reaches New
York and as soon as Miss Cisneros
reaches land she is told by Carl Decker
that he has brought about her rescue
that she might be the Carnival Prin-
cess at the twenty ninth annual ball
of the Scranton Liederkranz. She now
doubly thanks him and accepting the
proffered hand of the Carnival Prince,
Otto Stoeckle, she comes down from
the stage and starts the grand march
with four flower girls in her train,
Lottie Vockroth, Lena Reichart, Lillian
Greiglestein and Christine Zenke.
In other respects the ball was equally
as successful. The number of mas
quers was larger if anything than usu-
al and the character of the costumes
was equally as rich and varied as on
previous occasions. The decorations
by Fuhrman We're very tasteful. Bau-
er's orchestra furnished the music.

The Sight OF a Policeman Yesterday '
Intercepted Thieves.

One Of the electrical companies in
this city can get quantity Of wire at
police headquarters for nothing. There
are three punches of the wire and at
present the stuff is stored under the
stairs leading from the police depart
ment proper up to the first floor in
which place PatrolnIan Mcmillan left
it yesterday.
The policeman was walking up Null
berry street yesterday afternoon and
when passing Forest court he saw three
young men, approaching up the court.
Each had bundle of wire in his hand.
Patrolman Mcmillan stopped.
The young men went one better by
dropping the wire and skedaddling off
in an opposite direction.
The patrolmen went and picked up
the wire and took it to police head
quarters. The stuff was evidently stol-

EXCEPTIONALLY FINE PROGRAMME.
VIII he Rendered at Pure Food show
Wednesday.

Those who failed to listen to the re-
cent delightful concert given by Bau-
cr's band in the Lyceum have prob
ably wondered why there has not been
a repetition of IT. This would hardly
seem necessary in view of the delight
fu, series of concerts that are being
given at the Pure Food Exhibit in
Jonas Longs Sons Store Particularly
will this be true at the concert to be
given there Wednesday afternoon this
week.
Prof Bauer has arranged an excep-
tlonally fine programme for that day
which will include special solos by a
number of his best artists and in addi-
tion the full orchestra will render
rumber of their descriptive pieces
which have become so popular. TAX
ing into consideration that these con-
certs are free to all, it is little wonder
that enormous crowds are present there
every day. Wednesdays attendance
promises to exceed that at any of the
previous ones.

NAMED AFTER CHARLIE ROSS.
Tobyhanna Mans Heritage ScOrched
by PoIiceman's Star.

Charley Ross was up before Mayor
Bailey yesterday. The charge was
drunkenness. The man, when ques-
toned closely concerning his identity,
denied that he was the great Charlie
Ross. He admitted, however, that he
was named after the kidnapped young
ster, he being just come into the world
when the other Ross apparently left it.
Ross called upon his brother, James
Ross, who was arrested with him, to
bear him out in his statements. Both
hail from Tobyhanna. They were let
off with 81 fine each.

EMINENT DOM AIN.
II Rests Only With Companies
Privileged.

BY unanimous decision of the Su-
preme Court the Hawaiian Commercial
Company comes out winner in one of
its several legal contests with the Ka-
huui Railway Company. The finding
of Judge Stanley, of the Circuit Court
Is reversed. He had held that the
railway act of rs was a general statute
and gave the right of eminent domain
to common carrier and ike corpora
tions. The Supreme Court says that
the right of eminent domain can be
exercised only by such corporations as
have an express contract to that effect
with the Government through the Min
lister of Interior.
This case arose from the desire of
the Kahului Company to condemn GER
tain water front land on Maui owned
by or under the control of the Hawai-
ian Commercial Company.
The Supreme Court decision is by
Justices Frear and Whiting and w. X.
Castle, the latter sitting for the Chief
Justice, disqualified.

ishness by very old methods. Burylng
the child with tid-bits. or compliments,
is the first step. The sellishness learned
then becomes fixed. In the sunday
school the child is rewarded for study
ing the story of love. II is the same IN
the schools. There the child is led TO
feast his eyes on the glitterng bauble
of. per cent. Il is not learning he Is
after. but per cent.
Ambition IL to do more good today
than YOU did yesterday. Other amDi-
ton leads to selfishness.
The old way TO treat child was
logging. Then came bribery. NOW
is per cents. Why do we mark? BE-
cause there must be some purpose be-
fore the pupil you say. Yes, the child
must have something ahead that VIII
move 1t; and selfishness VIII accomp-
lish that quicker than any one thing
else. This lack Of a sound purpose
shows a failure of our whole system.
We must get out OF 1t. a higher idea
must be aroused.
Every child is a born worker. In
the kitchen, the yard or elsewhere
however young. they want to help. II
had my way every yard In the world
would be convered over with White
sand. In them the children would
build houses, castles and mudhouses.
Their natural inclination ~ do some
thing, to make something, would find
full expression. Through IL the mind,
the soul would be developed and grow.

foundation of the prosperity OF TIE

There is music in the soul of every
child. Every child must be taught 10
sing. There is consonance with ma
tme in Il. The brook babbles, birds
sing. and the sea rolls in rhythmic
swell. The child Is part of the great
world of music. moves in rythm, and
must sing. Rhythm pervades every
thing, even the movements of the
body. Calesthenics are necessary. There
the consonance is again reached.
Music is the most practical thing in
all the world. Tell a child Sing at
your work"
Heretofore we have gone on by ira
dtion without looking at the child. |
There was a time when we thought a
child was born in wickedness and must |
go through certain processes. We now
know the power Of the child in the |
early days OF constructive activity. But |
We do not yet appreciate the POSSIBLE

the most complete doctrine of eiuca-

ON ARITHMETIC
Col. Parker Says Func.
ton is Measurement.
The Beauty Of Lincoln
and Emerson We're Types Of
True Americans.


Miss Allen Will lecture on Child
hood" at s o'clock tonight in Progress
Hall. The public is invited to be pres
ent.
Yesterday morning Col. Parker ex-
planned the exhibit which he brought
from Chicago. 1t is now in position IN
Progress Hall and represents the work
OF children OF the different grades per-
formed without the aid of teachers lie
said that the Hawaiian pupils could do
Just as good work as that of the Chi
cago children.
In the regular lecture Col. Parker
asked what is the function of arith-
metic. 1t enters into all life, it Is an
essential 10 progress in all life. AS
trology changed to astronomy, alchemy
changed to chemistry, by its use. Num-
bers have but one function, that is
measurement. Numbers are used TO
limit quantity. The housewife can
not bake loaf of bread without arith-
matic, farm work cannot be carried on,
almost no duty of life. Little can be
done in life unless distance is known,
area, volume, weight, force, time,
value and Limitation of single things.
Most work in arithmetic has nothing
to do with quantity. All arithmetic
must he done by measuring. In gao
graphy, history, botany, all contain
Infinite problems in numbering. What
could be learned of physics without
numbering. When it is taught in an
isolated form 1t becomes dead
weight.
Mrs. Parker gave list of excellent
works OF literature for different grades
OF school work. Nothing should be
taken up until the child's mind Is pre-
pared for 1t. Mrs. Parker read several
selections, representing tit work for
each period. She said that the child
learned not only changes OF the sea-
sons, the variations of nature; but a
true love for poetry. She paid a high
tribute to poetry. Poetry, she said,
eleVates the moral tone and stimulates
the spiritual life. She said she could
not see how one could read literature
lntelligsntly unless there is a deep
love OF nature. Reverence is decidedly
lacking in the American child. There
is nothing TO stimulate reverence and
humility in the American form of Gov
eminent, EXultation, independence
are there, but little reverence. Two
highest types OF the best Americans
she said were Lincoln and Emerson
