LECTURE ON sAvIoUR's LIFE.
Rev. w. Robert Goss, of Jersey City,
Gave illustrated Address.

Rev. w. Robert Goss, of Jersey City.
last night gave an illuminated lecture
on the life Of the Savior at the Scran-
ton Bicycle club hall, under the aus
pices of the Rescue mission. The lat,
ter at the conclusion of the lecture
withdrew their support. Rev. Goss will.
however, repeat the lecture tonight,
and is confident that this time the
evening will pass without any hitch.
The difficulty last night was in prop
erly focusing his moving picture ap-
paratus and it was only towards the
end of the entertainment that this was
satisfactorily adjusted. Tonight, how
ever, Rev. Goss declares that this diff
Guilty will be entirely done away with.
The entertainment was of a very in
teresting nature. 1t dealt with the life
of the Savior, and was Illustrated by
sacred pictures and with moving pic
lures of the great Oberammergau Pas
sion Play. Several scenes in the life
of Christ, such as the raising from the
dead of Lazarus, the entry into Jerusa-
lem, the Lords Supper, the trial be-
fore PLATE. were very we'll portrayed.
Sacred musical selections were also

RAID OF THE PLACES
GOES MERRILY ON
Four More Arrests Made and Two Of
the Accused Given Hearings and
Fined by the Mayor.

"Down with the speakeasies," con-
tinues to be Mayor Moir's battle cry,
and four more arrests were yesterday
made of proprietors of illegal liquor
establishments, and two of them were
given hearings, while the others will
be heard today.
Patrick Cawley, of s07 Alder street,
was fined $25, as was also Mrs. Thom-
as Rainey, of 81 Archibald street Mrs.
George, who dwells at the corner Of
Eynon street and Eighth street, will
be given hearing this morning. and
the case of an italian speakeasy-
keeper, living at S51 Moosic street, will
also be heard.
Cawley was given hearing during
the afternoon. When asked whether
he was guilty or not guilty, he re-
piled: ooh, I'm not guilty. I've only
sold little corn beer and soft beer"
"Well we have men here who say
different" responded the mayor, and
one of the witnesses stepping for
ward, calmly described the interior Of
the Cawley domicile and after giving
n minute and detailed description Of
the place, said that he had drunk beer
there.
"Oh," said Mr.. Cawley at this, his
backbone weakening perceptibly,
maybe 1 did sell the bye some beer
Ye don't need to call any more wit
nesses," and he then very amiably
paid his fine and the costs.
Mrs. Rainey is the wife of Thomas
Rainey, who only three weeks ago
was committed to the county Jail on
his refusal to pay the fine imposed
for keeping a speakaasy.
Two witnesses testified to drinking
beer in the place, and Mrs. Rainey
was exceedingly wroth at them, BURST
ing out with the following remarks:
"Ye are only a couple Of black-hearted
scoundrels and ought to be ashamed,
to try to put a poor woman in Jail"
She further said, this time address,
ing his honor: "If yell only wait a
week, till me man gets out of jail, I'll
go up me'self.'
AS the mayor was undesirous of
waiting, however, Mrs. Rainey paid the
fine.
A peculiar thing about one of the
speakeasy keepers arrested Is that
when the constable who served the
warrant entered the place he found
an agent for a brewing company COL
lecting $3.50 bill, while in rear room
sat several men drinking beer Yet
the proprietor was exceedingly in
dignant when the warrant was served,
and loudly asserted that the estab-
lishment was no speakeasy.

NORTH MAIN AVENUE PAVE.
Bricks Are Now Laid as Far as Wes-
ton Place.

The North Main avenue pave is pro-
crossing, these days, very rapidly, City
Engineer Phillips having succeeded in
getting the Girard company to get a
hustle on itself. The brick is now
laid as far as Weston place, quite a
distance beyond the corners, and the
concrete is down several hundred
yards further north.
There has been little delay in Sc
curing curbing, but this has not in
terfered with the work to any great
extent. 1t is thought that the COM
pany will be able to work for over a
month yet, and If they can. the pave
ment will then be about three-quar-

What It Would Mean.

would mean, and its deductions are

UNTlMELY OPPOSITION. Federal Storage of Waters Almost Re- ality. But Western Dissentions Tend to Kill the Proposi-
 ton.

Opposition has been made to the
 federal storage proposition on the
 ground that nothing has yet been ac-
 complished along these lines although
 efforts have been made for years, and
 therefore, it is argued, "the project
 might as well be abandoned Atten- ton has been called to Ex-Governor Mc-
 Cords statement that Congress last
 winter came very near to appropriate
 ing $2l5000, to being work upon q
 national system of irrigation for the
 arid West, and that the leaders agreed
 with Senators Warren and Carter that
 at least that sum should be appropria-
 ted by the present Congress, if they
 would theG consent to let the matter
 go over Therein, 1t is stated, is the
 measure of what can be expected for federal irrigation construction by the
 present Congress. Two hunored odd
 thousand dollars apportionei among
 the arid states and territories would make a sum for each so paltry as to amount to naught, and the citizen of to-day would have to live to be hun dred before he could see any apprecia- ble results from government irrigation development,
 This entire position is certainly erroneous and misleading. The small appropriation asked last year was not intended to be apportioned among the States interested in irrigat ton. It was for the express purpose of building one or two storage reservoirs. This was to be the beginning of policy which should include the complete survey of all the arid region and the building of storage reservoirs by direct and con timing appropriations from Congress to Congress, in every arid State and Territory Rome was not built in day, and western legislators did not expect Congress to build at once hun dred storage reservoirs, but this ap- propriation would bave been begin ming As Senator Carter said, "Let it be distinctly understood that this is the entering wedge Of new policy, | etc." It is not expected of the present Congress that it will by any favorable | possibility make an appropriation of | $100, 600, GOO. or even enough money to build single reservoir in each arid ] :sTate, bDtif it aopropriates faR3 1skor one reservoir and for complete sutteys l in other States, the hopes of the peo- pie who have been arguing federal | storage will be realized. This would | be the entering wedge, and nothing could prevent its widening and broad ening the opening Wyoming is not going to have Q reservoir built by the 1 government without Nevada and Mon tana and dozen others claiming the same privilege, any more than San Francisco can get a government harbor improvement and the rest of the coast ask in vain for like assistance.
 So in these times, when Congress seems ''very near" to appropriating money for national storage of waters, it behooves every citizen of the terri tory interested to stand shoulder to shoulder with his neighbor in support of policy which if carried through to completion, will make a new west over the present west even as the west of to-day is different land from the west of the sixties.

HIS PREVIOUS STANDING.

The petitions contain the statement that prior to the embezzlement of the Pioneers money, Hughes was of ''good standing." He had, however, so fla grantly neglected the duties of his office as to be officially censured by & com mittee of the grand jury. The report of the committee, filed September 26, 1886, is as follows:
 Your committee appointed to investi- gate the office of the board of supervi- sors have the honor to report that we found the affairs of the office apparent ly all right, but that the work of the clerk is behind. The clerk complains of inability to keep it up, although he claims to be obliged to work night and day. Yet we find that he has plenty of time to devote to playing faro bank, | nd your committee respectfully sug- gest that in view of public opinion the honorable board of supervisors would do well to employ a clerk who will refrain from gambling. Respectfully submitted. (Signed.)
 GEORGE PUscH,
 K. l.. HART,
 w. V. M'CLEARY." In the light of the above facts tue pardon or parole of Hughes would seem to be making burlesque of the laws to wipe out the distinction be tween right and wrong, and, in fact, tc be putting a premium on the embezzle ment of public moneys. Very Re spectfully,

DecemOer Izi loJJ. Hon. N. 0. Murphy, Governor, Phoe- nix, Ari zona.
 DEAR SIR: Regarding the petitions published yesterday for the parole of one Fred G. Hugh es, now serving term in the territorial prison for embezzlement, beg leave to lay the following facts before you. The peti- tions express sympathy for Mrs. Hughes and her children, and doubtless it was this feeling that prompted the signatures of the many excellent gentlemen whose names appear. The undersigned shares in this feeling as fully as anyone, but this is not incon- sistent with the presentation of certain matters which are facts and not mere sentiment.
 EABEZzLED FROM THE PIONEERS.
 The offense to which Hughes pleaded guilty was the embezzlement of $3,000 belonging to the Azizona Pioneers uis- torical society, of which he was presi- dent. This sum had been donated by the Arizona legislature. It was gambled away or otherwise dissipated by Hughes and is forever lost.
 The petitions state that the signers I believe that this "offense was not com mitted with criminal intent" If thii were the case, and Hughes had been guilty of no other crimes, reason fol your clemency might be urged. The evidence is overwhelming, however that during long term of yeari Hughes was a habitual criminal 1 From an early date up to the time o his apprehension his was continuou course of,crime.

Mikado" Continues to Craw Crowded
 Houses to That Resort

The largest house of the season by sever- al dollars heard the third performance of "Mikado" at Lakeview last night. The audience was as great in enthusiasm as it was in size.
 One of the very pleasing features of the opera is the work of the young ladies and gentlemen in the minor roles of the play. A minor role when badly played always mars what may otherwise be a faultless performance
 The part of Pitti-Sing, who is the second in the Three Little Maid" trio is taken by Miss Margaret Kelly. Not only has she a very attractive personal appearance, but also clear soprano voice, which she handles very cleverly. Hes going to mar ry Yum-Yum;'' her description of Nanlxi- Poo's decapitauon. and in fact all of her work was very cleverly done Miss Bessie Gafford was the Third Little Maid" She has one of the chief requisites of an ac- tress, that of life and action and has a number of admirers. Miss Elvira Lewis sings the alto part in the ''Madrigal" one of the most difficult of quartettes and does it most satisfactorily. VII Hood plays Pish Tush, part that d. $ not require very much heavy work. bu. which involves the catching of a number of cues He has strong, rich baritone voice, and his work in the "Mikado,' and in fact in all the preceding operas has been very pleas ing.
 The chorus of the company is also doing good work. They put plenty of action in their music, and very seldom have any thing like drag" The male chorus has a good opportunity for effective singing al the opening of the opera, and they have made good impression.
