DANIELS WAS CHOSEN.
Catholic Total Abstinence Men Make
Him District President-Proceed-
ings sf Quarterly Convention.

w. J. Daniels, a mernber of the st.
Aloysius Temperance society, Of South
Scranton, was yesterday afternoon
unanimously elected president of the
first district of the Scranton Diocesan
union of Catholic Total Abstinence
societies. He was elected at the
twenty-second quarterly convention of
the district. held in Pharmacy hall
on Pittstcn avenue yesterday. after
the resignation Of Timothy Burke, the
former president, had been read and
accepted.
The convention was very largely at
tended over 100 delegates from the
tey's, Father Whittey's Cadets. st.
Irene's, st. Cecilia's, Father Whit
tey's, aFther Whittey's Cadets, st.
Patrick's, Father Matthews. Father
Matthew's Cadets, St. Faul's. st. Pauls
Cadets, st. Peters. st. Johns. st.
Joseph's. st. Aloysius, st. Aloysius'
Cadets, st. I.eos and st. Veronica's.
A number of the delegates reported
for their respective societies as nav
ing voted the required amount to-
wards the general campaign fund, but
as number of the societies have as
yet not done SO, the convention took
no definite action as to how the money
was to be disbursed.
Quite little discussion was pro-
voked by a motion made to conduct
the two temperance rallies ordered for
this district by the DIOCESAN union,
in the central part of the city. Some
of the delegates objected to this pro.
position because they thought the var
ious sections Of the city they repre-
sented should he given the meetings
and others because of the proverbial
lack of interest in the central city In
the temperance cause. The motion
was finally adopted. but no definite
time was fixed for the holding Of the
rallies.
Th. following list of questions which
had been previously submitted to the
various societies were answered and
discussed by a number present: What
is the best method of extending the
cause of temperance" "How do you
reclaim fallen memhers?" What
spiritual aid do you give your pas
tor?" what action have you taken
on Father Lynett's paper on Sunday
| Closing read at the HazlctOn cOnven-
| tion?"
Many valuable suggestions on thes1
| topics were given by those who spoke
| and were heard with interest by those
| present.
Just before the convention adjourned
Mrs. T.. F.. I.asher. of West Scranton
was elected ladies' district organizer
| and North Scranton was chosen as
the place of meeting for the next con-
venton, to be held in April next.

TREAsURER'S REPORT.
The report of Treasurer Henry Belin,
jr., presented, gave the expenditures
of the twelve months as $12,224.45.
The balances on the several funds on
hands were given as follows: Mining
section, $50: city appropriation, $611.2S;
improvement fund, $1.995.31; young
peoples library fund, $1,55l.95; total,
| S4,20S54.
The officers of last year We're re-
elected and then the board held its
regular monthly meeting for the trans
| action of routine business.
Librarian Carr announced that the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
Railroad company, through Superin-
| tendent +. +. LoOmis, of the coal de-
| partment, had presented the complete
| files Of the Republican from it's first
issue. all neatly and substantially
| bound. A vote of thanks to the COM
pany and Mr.. Loomis was rendered by
the trustees.
It was also announced by Librarian
Carr that it had been found necessary
to omit from the library purchases the
books of a number of popular authors
owing to the unreasonable cheapenina
in material quality by the publishers
use of inferior paper, poor or worn
out type and fimsy binding. These
books are made up now only for chear
trade and it is impossible to secure 4
durable copy of them for reasonable
price. AS rule they have to be re.
bound after a few issues. and, as this
item of expense is growing to unwar'
ranted dimensions, it was deemed eX'
pedient to cease purchasing any more
of these publications until such time
as the publishers put a better quality
| of material into them.

SHOE SENSE!

The contest for seats in the United
States Senate commences with the
assembly of the different state leg
islatures in January and more than a
passing interest is displayed over
the result in a few cases. The retire
ment of Pettigrew attracts more at
tention to South Dakota than does
the question of his successor. In Ill.
there is a merry war already on over
the seat occupied by Senator Cullom
and the scandal monger is busy at
work. In Minnesota two senators are
to be chosen. Senator Nelson will
have no opposition, but a lively con
test will take place for the unexpired
term of the late Senator Davis. In
Pennsylvania NJ. S. Quay is prepar-
ing to make the fight of his life for
political existence. The anti-Quay
forces are strong and well organized
under h leadership of John
Wanamaker. Two senators are to be
chosen in Nebraska where the fusion
lists hope tojoin forces withsome weak
republican candidate and pluck one
seat as a result. An almost similar
situation exists in Delaware where the
Addicks forces hope to enter into a
combination with the democrats to
fill the two seats which will be
vacant. In Montana, Clark seeks
"vindication" and will probably
obtain it. Altogether January is
apt to furnish lively market in Sem
atorial futures.

A bachelor girl" is an old maid that

Money makes every mare go but the

The only successful way to give adj

A woman will beg her husband all the
year to go to church with her, but if he
offered to do it for a Christmas present
she would apply for a divorce.
The first six months after he gets mar
