republics and at last affairs would have
come to such a crisis that the people
would call on the United states gov
ernment to show them a wav out OF
their trouble"
Chaplain Pierce also referred to the
customs and habits of the Filipinos,
and spoke especially of their initiative
ness, first i'm military tactics, referring
to their study of the United states
troops at drill and soon after intro
ducing the same manoeuvres In their
own forces, and also in music. The
native ear is very quick and after
hearing a musical selection can easily
repeat IL.
After seeing few military funer-
ais said the speaker, "at which the
military band was present, they con-
Ceived the notion that at every funeral
there must be music, and as result
every funeral of man, woman or child
was attended for awhile by band.
After the Bali and "A Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight were the favor
ties and the rendering of the latter
melody at funeral produced certainly
a rather odd effect"
At the conclusion of the lecture, Rev.
r. F. Y. Pierce pronounced the bene-
diction, and an informal reception was
then held at which Chaplain Pierce
met and became acquainted with many
of those present. He will leave for
New York city Monday.

COMPANIES TO COMBINE.
Those Interested in the Independent
Telephone Systems Will Hold
Meeting at Harrisburg to
Formulate Plans.

Independent telephone systems are
springing up all over the state like mush-
rooms. Two hundred and thirty-fve
cities and towns, according to the last
count, have them completed or in
course of completion. Next Tuesday
the representatives of the independent
companies are to have a big meeting
in Harrisburg to formulate plans for
connecting up the different local sys-
TENS and the promoters of the scheme
confidently expect that before the sum-
mer is over a long distance service
quite the equal of the Bell will be in
operation.
S. l.. Wayland, manager of the inde-
pendent companies in this city and
Wilkes-B Barre. called the meeting. He
is the Pennsylvania representative on
the interstate traffic committee of the
Independent Telephones companies of
the United States. Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan are actively interested in the
inter- state association and arc quite as
far, if not farther. advanced than
Pennsylvania in the matter of estab-
fishing independent companies.
Mr.. Wayland is also interested in a
richly capitalized company which pro-
poses to connect up the different state
systems. 1t. is possible also that this
company will offer to connect up the
different companies within the several
states. In Pennsylvania the question
of making connections on the co-opera-
tive plan or letting the work to the
long distance telephone companies WIFI
be decided upon at Tuesdays meeting.
The latter plan is the more likely to
be adopted.
Northeastern Pennsylvania is far
from being the least prolific part of the
state in the matter of new companies.
Wilkes Barre, Pittston, Scranton and
Carbondale either have independent
syste ms built or building, and the inter
vening and adjacent towns of sufficient
size to accommodate a company are
taking steps to inaugurate systems of
their own with a view OF becoming a
part of the new service.
Honesdale has a new company well
under way, while Jermyn and Peck
vile companies are seeking franchises
from their respective municipal au-
thorities.
The Jermyn Telephone company was
chartered in Honesdale last Monday
and the Peckville company expects
within couple of months to begin ac.
tive operations on the construction OF
its Independent system. An ordinance
granting the requisite franchise was
introduced at the last meeting and laid
over for a month. Vigorus opposition
to it's passage is expected, but some OF
the most influential men of the borough
are at the head OF the movement ant
| confidently expect to overcome the i'm
| pending obstacles.

Moreover. the agreement between myself and the
school board was merely a temporary one:
Scranton, Pa, March 30, 1900.
Esdras Howell, Esq City Controller
Dear Sir-In response to your inquiry Of this
date ! would say that under the provisions Of
the act Of 1874 the city controller was made
"ex.offico" the controller or auditor OF the
school district, but no provision was made for
his compensation.
Upon your refusal to perform the services i'm.
posed by this act an attempt was made to com.
pei you to do so by mandamus; but the court
held that as the act was unconstitutional, you
were not bound TO follow it. From this decision
an appeal was taken to the supreme court, which
remains undecided A temporary agreement was
made between you and the board Of school con.
troll under the provisions Of which, as ! reinem-
Der IL. you were TO receive compensation for
work done by the board Of control pending this
appeal.
This was Of a temporary nature only. Your
legal relations to the school board at this time
arc entirely Independent OF your official char.
acter city controller being based upon the
contract to which referred above.
Very truly yours,
A. A. vosburg.
respectfully ask your honorable bodies in com.
mon justice TO make this appropriation
Very respectfully
f. Howell, City Controller.

tions set forth.

emblem of mercy and charity, was
totally ignored by the Filipinos i'm

Entire Nous Thanksgiving Dance.

Entire Nous Thanksgiving Dance.
The Thanksgiving ball at Pythisn
Castle was attended by about fifty
couples, the Entire Nous club member
ship being increased for this holiday
dance by the addition of a number of
our college students who were home for
the weeks vacation.
The music for the occasion was very
good considering the late date it was
arranged for which gave the players no
time in which to prepare, and left them
much at disadvantage. The floor was
like glass and its very smoothness added
greatly to the pleasure of the dancers
the big lodge room and the dining room
both being utalized for the tripping OF
the light fantastic. A supper was
served at midnight at the Lawler Res
taurant on Franklin street after which
for the nonce dancing was resumed
until about half past one.
A vote was taken by the male portion
Of the Entire Nous, and from this time
henceforth dancing will commence
promptly at eight and end at twelve
o'clock, very commemorate resolution
indeed.
The general verdict of members and
guests at this pleasurable evening was
that the first meeting for the season OF
the Entire Nous was decidedly social
success.

viands was served, near the close of

that the occasion of this bright assem-
bly, of friends was the twentieth we'd
ding anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs. Hol-
lister. This was surprise complete to
one and all and it added new zest to
the evenings pleasure. After the pass
ing of favors in the form of red heart
boxes filled with choice candies, the
tables were removed and the guests ar
ranged themselves for an evening of
thorough enjoyment, the first part there
of being given over to the reading Of
quotations concerning matrlmony, many
of which were vastly amusing. Later
games were participated in and until a
late hour in the evening pleasant co.
cial atmosphere surrounded the guests
and goo nights were said with the
