DR.. REA'S ADVICE.

"You'll not find l. bit crowded up
there said he. "Be practical, for prac-
teal talent is the only substantial basis
for any profession. BE optimistic. Look
at things brightly, and if there's no
light side, polish up the dark side.
Don't depend upon the influence and
pull Of your friends to get along. for
no nurse ever succeeded by these
means Keep your moral tone high,
the higher the better, and. above all
else, cultivate close mouths"
Before presenting the diplomas, ,Presi-
dent Dickson made a statement, tend
ing TO Offset the adverse criticism of
the debt which is now standing against
the hospital. He explained that the
state appropriation was only $4,000
this year, leaving $4,000 to be raised
from local sources. The present debt
of $4,000 has been created in several
ways. Part of it accrues from the fact
that $500 was paid for nurses home
and sl,50O for furnishing it.
In the course of statement of the
enormous expense under which the
hospital is laborng Mr.. Dickson men,
toned the fact that the Scranton Gas
and Water company recently placed a
water meter in the institution, thereby
raising the water rent from $40 to $40
a month on a jump.
In concluding. he paid a graceful
tribute to Mrs. +. n. Willard, whom
he spoke of as the guiding angel of the
hospital. There is never a day" he
stated, whether the weather is good
or bad, when this noble woman is not
at the hospital, cheering up the suf-
fering ones. Some days she brings
flowers, some days dainty eatables,
and on all days something"
He then presented the members of
the graduating class with their diplo
mas and badges, after which an in
formal reception was held, during the
course of which dainty refreshments

OPENING PRAYER.

The exercises were opened by prayer
by Rev Rogers Israel, d. D., rector of
st. Luke's. j. p. Dickson, president
of the hospital, who presided during
the evening, then introduced Judge II.
NJ. Edwards who made one of his
usual witty and clever addresses. He
dwelt in particular upon the place and
advantages of the hospital in a COM
munity and emphasized the fact that
the people Of Scranton do not do their
duty towards the Lackawanna hospi-
tai.
THE Legislature of this state" said
he, must be taught to economize on
expenditures which can stand economy
and not pinch so that the charitable in
stitutions will be made to suffer. There
are two things in Pennsylvania which
must be taken care of above all others
and those are the common schools and
the charitable institutions"
In concluding he addressed the grad
uates and congratulated them on the
showing made. Yours" said he 'is
a gospel of servitude and a gospel Of
patience, and not a gospel of words"
DR.. James l.. Rea, one Of the MEM
bers of the staff, was the next speaker,
and, though the doctor remarked that
he felt n little shaky and that like
Marc Anthony, he was no orator, new

address in a rather quaint manner

The New York sun Of Jan, has the

CONTRABAND OF WAR.

The British government has an inter-
esting and complicated problem on it's
hands in the question OF deciding on
what constitutes contraband OF war
Obviously arms and ammunition in
tended for the use Of a bellIgerent may
be fairly classed under this title. and
the general usages Of nations would ap-
pear TO justify the English In selling
vessels which contained men on their
way TO the Transyaal for the purpose
Of Joining the army Of the Beers. To
have permission 10 seize the guns which
the men were to use in a fight against
the English, and yet to be prohibited
from seizlng the men who were 10 car
ry the guns, would appear to be one
sided or distorted construction OF inter-
national law. But when the problem OF
breadstuffs is presented the matter en-
tiers into new phase.

We know II Is not the desire OF the
Church authorities TO mingle religion

positive instructions have been given to
prevent IT, The utmost care should
be taken 90 avoid even the appearance
OF the intrusion OF religion into the dis

the statement made by our correspon-

been stepped over by our friends in

arisen from oyer-sensitlveness on the
part Of some persons anxious to guard
the schools from sectarIan influences.
We think they are mistaken,
The proper thing 10 do, in the settle
ment Of this dispute, IS, in our opinion,
for the parties on either side or their
representatives TO come together and
offer mutual explanations. In any event
II should be understood, that re-
llgion classes have been instituted in
this Church for the instruction Of chill
dren whose parents desire them to at
tend, and that they are and must be
kept entirely separate from the public
school system Of the State.
