TO sUPPLANT CHIEF HICKEY.
Report That His Successor Will Be
Named Next Week.

The annual reorganization Of the
board Of engineers of the fire depart
ment will take place one week from
next Monday night. The old board
wound up its business at the last meet
ing and the new board should have re-
organized last night, but owing to the
fact that common council committees
have not as yet been named, and the
further fact that Mayor Moir has not
named the new district chiefs. the re-
organization could not be effected.
Chairman Keller will name the COM
mon council committees next Thursday
night 1t is understood that Mayor
Moir will name new district chiefs and
q successor TO Chief Hickey at the
meeting of select council one week
from Thursday night. Common Coun-
Gilman John II. Walker is said TO be
slated for the position.

the confines OF this parish She was
the faithful and dignihed wife and
mother, the partner of his joys and
sorrows for more than ffty-flve years.
She was charitable in a true and broad
sense. because she loved God and her
neighbor. In conclusion Mr. Holland
said:
I'VE accept this noble gift and ex-
tend to you our hearty thanks and also
to our Heavenly Father that he hath
put It into your heart to build this
magnificent house for his glory and
honor, and the good of our fellowmen."
THE BENEDICTION.
The office of benediction was then
pronounced by Bishop Talbot, who
made most happy address at it's
close, In which he alluded to the pre-
vious" statement in some of the papers
to the effect that this ceremony had
taken place on Saturday when he was
accredited with saying many clever
things that he would not say. lie con-
fessed to feeling of propretor-ship of
this diocese, saying down in Lancaster
This Is my farm, and my city, and my
church, and when in Scranton he felt
a similar sense of possession He
liked to think of other houses of wor-
ship with a sentiment of sympathy and
kinship as part of the corporate Chris
tian unity--Considering it a "ioy and
privilege to love all who love God"
He then paid beautiful tribute to
MIR. Israel and spoke Of his affection
for Dr.. and Mrs. Throop in whose home
he had been entertained. lie refrained
from making a comparison between
this parish house and that at Bethle-
hem, of which the whole diocese was
proud, and spoke of the probable time
when Scranton will also be n See city.
He congratulated the people on the
completeness of the parish house and
the practical arrangements contained
therein, and stated that he should re-
gard 1t as q sort Of post graduate re-
sort for his young men who could here
learn how model parish should be
managed, alluding to the apartments
for unmarried clergy. He trusted the
| dear benefactress, the rector, the NeS-
try and the parish might see the con-
summation of their highest ideals in
the new facilities for effort.
at the conclusion of the service in
vitation was extended to visitors TO go
over the DUlldlng ana tne dlterhooli
was devoted to inspection.
Last night an informal reception was
| held and hundreds visited the new
| Parish house. In the Womans' Guild
room Bishop Talhot's distinguished

vestry and congregation assisted in re-
| ceivng. Bennie Throop was present
\ and the fair little face smiled in friend

SAME SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.
This Years Allowance Is Not to
Be Cut Down.

There was some doubt existing in
school board circles as TO whether or
not the school appropriation from the
state was to be cut down this year.
This doubt was removed yesterday by
the receipt Of the following letter:
Commonwealth Of Pennsylvania, Depart
mcnt of Public Instruction, April ), 1893.
Il. -. Fellows Scranton, Pa.
Dear Sir: In reply 20 yours Of the 1th
inst, l would say that the appropriation
for the school year ending on the hrst
Monday of June. 1899 was made at the
session OF 1891 and is the same rs for
the year ending on the first Monday OF
June, 1898, $5,jO0,O0O. The appropriation
made at the present session Is for the
years ending on the first Monday of
June, 1900 and 1901. l do not think there
IL any likelihood Of the amount being
reduced for those years. You will receive
for the year ending June, 1899 the same
as for the school year ending June, 1898.
Very respectfully,

The rich arabic land of the island is not
found in large tracts, but in scattered patch
es among the hills, which is suitable for to-
bacco patches rather than sugar p antaticns.
The demand for consumption in the sand $
small, and the freight rates to the main
land high Hence the only agricultural
product that commands a ready cash mar
ket is tobacco. OF this staple the island
exported last year about 1900 bales of 100
pounds each. This year the amount will
fall TO 1900 bales, or less, for the reason
that the workers. who had come to the is

be made paying project except for home
consumption.
To sum up, in brief the material re-
sources of the island are as follows: Fine
timber for the saw is not large. The area
of cane land is Insignificant. High freights
and distance to market make agricultural
produce valueless except for home con-
sumption. The amount and quality of ma
hogany is not sufficient to attract buyers
from more promising fields. This, of course
appertains to the northern part of the is
land.
The southern part of the island has not
yet been thoroughly inspected Its re-
sources will be the subject of visit in The
near future. Tobacco culture is capable of
great development. Men of experience and
capital will do well to inspect the marble
quarries. The greatest returns to the capt.
talist, as well as the greatest benefit to
the island ITSELF at present seems to lie
in Its future as a sanitary resort. The is
