EDUCATIONAL ANNIVERSARY.
Services Conducted in the Asbury
Methodist Episcopal Church.


An educational anniversary service
was conducted Sunday evening at the
Asbury Methodist Episcopal church, un-
der the auspices of the Epworth league,
at which addresses were made by l.. +.
Bower, A. M, Professor Fuller, of the
Scranton High school, Frederick Lid
stone, Miss Ella Fuller, of No. 2S
school, and Miss Ella Roney, of No. 81
school,
The evening was opened at 730
o'clock by the singing of a hymn.
Prayer was then offered by Halsey La
thrope, after which Z. S. Pratt read
from the Proverbs. l.. F. Bower spoke
on the subject of Education" He
said education is commonly associated
with books and school teachers. That
is far far too narrow a definition,
however. Education means develop
ment and growth. The ability to use
facts as We find them, that is educa-
tion.
Professor Fuller chose as his subject,
Culture and Strength" In the course
of his talk he said "The primary OBJ
ject of education is not to make people
like other people, but to develop our
selves. Physical culture gives us bodi-
ly strength, mental culture gives us
mental power, and moral culture gives
us pure strength. Education is sup
plemented first by the home. then by
the school. then. If possible, by the
college, and lastly by the school Of
life"
Frederick Lidstone in the course of
his interesting talk pointed out the
vast difference existing between the
Christian and heather life. He spoke

a long article accompanied the cut
on the base ball prospects of Villa

alyZing the several players.
One of the few men sure of a place on
the nine is Joe Weir, formerly of st.
Thomas college, who is now slated to
play shortstop for the varsity boys,
Richard Nallin, another local man, who
last year captained the Villa Nova foot
ball eleven. will probably play first
base, and Munley is candidate for the
outfield. '..''
The team is under the care Of "Dick"
Harley, who as coach is giving the
nine his personal supervision. Harley
is the same fast player who has put up
such an excellent game in the outfield

National league teams, and who for
merly played on the Georgetown coll
lege nine. ' .-
One of his first professional engage
ments was on the Springfield Eastern
league team, and while with that club
he frequently visited Scranton. He
made himself big favorite here by his
clever aggressive work, and clean,
gentlemanly conduct on the field.
II is very probable that Harley will
this year captain and manage the Phil
adelphia Athletics who will help to
make up the Atlantic league circuit.
He will Dlay left field. and Scranton

Mrs. b. T. Jayne next rendered a
vocal selection. She sang in fine voice
and her solo was enjoyed by all pres
ent. Miss Ella Fuller spoke on The
Influence of the Cultured Woman"
She ably discussed the influence of
cultured and refined woman both in
and outside of home life.
Miss Ella Roney spoke concerning
Educational Opportunities and Facili-
ties" Education" she said, must
touch our mental and moral sides as
we'll as physical. But al the same time
we should remember that a healthy
mind and a healthy body go together"
The meeting was brought to a close
by a collection being taken for the

versty, both of which are Methodist

today Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, of
New York, spoke upon the Puerto
Rican tariff measure as follows:
There is no division among the ma
jority in either house as to the power
of congress to legislate on this sub
ject. The majority all agree that the
constitution does not extend by its own
power over these now possessions, and
that congress can legislate for them as
it deems wise, subject only to the pro-
hibitions upon congress in the consti-
tuition. The Democratic party accept
ed the other view, that the constitu-
tion does extend by it's own force into
the territories. from the moment that
1t was invented by John G. Calhoun
for the purpose of carrying slavery
into the new territories, when it was
impossible against the aroused con-
science of the country to secure legis-
lation to that effect. 1t is but fair to
say that while the action of the coun-
try by the unanimous consent of all
statesmen and of all parties for fifty
years, and the trend of the decisions
OF the Supreme court, sustain the pow

The island itself consists of two mill

is in forests. orchards. gardens and un-

portion of these owners are Spaniards,
English and other foreigners. The
coffee, sugar, and tobacco estates are
mortgaged for about one-quarter of
their value at rates of interest varying
from 10 to 25 per cent. The profits of
production are so great, even with the

Paralysis of Income.

The suspension of coffee. suffar, ami
tobacco industries reacted upon the
people in the towns who lived by hand
ling these products and by furnishing
the supplies to the people Of the inter-
Tor. There was paralysis on the one
hand of the purchasing power of their
former customers. and on the other of
the occupations by which they them
selves earned living With the is
land in this stricken condition, and the
people in this deplorable situation, it
was impossible to raise revenues for
schools, for roads, for courts, for po-
lice. or for any purpose of government
by direct taxation. The Puerto Rican
government must be supported and the
means found for the regeneration Of
Puerto Rican industries and the resur-
rection of Puerto Rican farms and the
salvation of the Puerto Rican people
either by taxing the people of the
United States, by taking money bodily
out of the United States treasury ami
pauperizing the island, or by finding a
method by which the island itself can
secure income and credit. 1t was when
these conditions had become familiar
to our committee that we changed our
bill from free trade TO the tariff meas

tariff measure which is not a Chinese
wall, not an oppressive act of arbitrary
power, but the most generous and ben

against them for the past four years,
they were enabled to meet this interest
and enjoy as much prosperity as is pos
sible under Spanish rule. The govern
ment by Spain was oppressive to de-
gree. The taxes were enormous, no
roads We're built, no school houses
erected, no public improvements main
tanned, but these great revenues were
dissipated by the Spanish officials.
There was no justice in the courts,
sal. There was no habeas corpus, ana
civil rights were not respected. Arbi-
trary arrests were made and citizens
lay in dungeons for years because
there was no way by which they could
get a trial. The Spanish government
gagged its eXactions by the profit Of
the planter. and managed to take
nearly everything that the planter
could make which he could fairly call
net above maintenance, his own sup
port and the interest upon his debts.
For the five years preceding our oc-
cupancy the average value OF the eX
ports of the island was $l6,0000 900, of
which s10,000,O00 were coffee. $4,000. 900
sugar, 100000 tobacco and the rest

the condition of this island when it
was occupied by our troops, and sub
mitted to our authority with scarcely
struggle The introduction of Ameri-
can methods and government were
rapidly producing most beneficent re-
suits when a calamity occurred which
has no parallel as affecting the, whole
people of country.

sanction of the war department, given
by direction of the president. It's pro-

1t is understood the members of the
military committees are somewhat in
different in regard to the bill and in
certain quarters there is opposition to
the measure. The objections come
principally from the friends of Gen

OLIVE OIL GOOD FOR THE HAIR
New Ointment for Growing Glory of
Chicago Women.

The well-groomed woman of Chicago
is always glad to learn of a new re-
cipe to prevent her Growing glory
from diminishing in splendor.
Some well-meaning persons have
sworn by kerosene and many easily
persuaded women have tried it, only
u ind themselves a nuisance to the
family while the ''cure" was in process
and in the end obliged to abandon it's
use from the very disagreeable after
effects of the treatment
All authorities on the subject of
hair-doctoring agree that the natural
oil of the hair, judiciously augmented
by an artificially applied oil, will be
of material benefit in producing luxuri-
ant, glossy tresses and prevent the
long ends from splitting and the hair
from falling out, for the reason that
the roots are properly nourished.
Another reason why some good oil
should be carefully applied to the roots
of the hair is the necessity of keeping
the scalp loose fro mthe head and by
this means permitting the natural oil
of the hair to nourisn it as nature in
tended 1t should
1t has been found that the best,
purest olive oil, purchased at some re-
liable grocery or Italian wa ehouse or
in small quantities from the drug
store, has all the medicinal qualities of
kerosene without any of it's disagree
able after effects.
Only use very little at time, dip
ping the fingers into a saucer contain
ing not more than half a teaspoonful
of the very best oil. Then massage
the scalp thoroughly mot letting the
toll touch the long ends of the hair)
until it is worked in so completely that
the scalp feels almost dry.
This treatment applied once a week,
with shampoo the principal ingredi-

and then washed with hot water and

water once every two weeks, it is said
