CHURCHES AND SOCIETIES.
Those Intending to Hold Excursions
Must Act Without Delay.

Lake Lodore has not only the charm
of novelty: 1t exceeds in natural beauty
any of the old excursion resorts. The
ride to the lake, overlooking vast
stretches of surprisingly beautiful
scenery; the grove, with its densely
shaded drives and walks. smooth and
dry as asphalt, its white booths and
balcony-encircled dance pavilion, its
fine springs and rustic bridges; its ca
rousel and varied other attractions:
the ball ground set with Spalding
bases. and the lake itself with its
charming scenery, its broad surface
and quiet hooks and coves, explored
by handsome launches and great fleet
of row boats--all these things render
Lodore a summer paradise.
Then, too, rates to churches and So
cieties are lower than rates to many
other sesorts. In short Lodore is at
once the most pleasure giving and
most proht-reaping place for excur-
sionists in this region. Dates are be-
ing filled rapidly and organizations in
tending TO go should apply without de-
lay at the Lackawanna avenue depot
to II. W. Cross, Division Passenger
Agent, Delaware and Hudson Railroad.

JOHN MITCHELL is SILENT
Local Mine Workers officials Got No
Response to Telgerams Sent to
the National President.

National Committeeman Frederick
Dilcher, National Organizer Chris
topher Evans and Secretary John T.
Dempsey, Of District No. l, are the
only prominent mine workers who keep
the local headquarters from looking
entirely deserted, since the departure
for New York of National President
John Mitchell and the three district
leaders.
Dilcher teegraphed President Mitch
ell at New York last evening asking
for some information regarding the
success of the mission of the four pres
idents, but up to early this morning
he had received no answer.
Dilcher is in charge during President
Mitchells absence, and was seen yes
terday afternoon by Tribune man.
The interest of all the mine workers
OF the region. all the operators and
everyone, in fact. who has been fol-
lowing the development of matters
centres in the coming joint session OF
the district boards and national mem
bers. Dilcher was unable to give out
any definite information concerning the
date of this session, but stated posi-
lively that 1t would be held in Wilkes
Barre. President Mitchell, who has the
power of calling the meeting of the
national board. alone knows when it
will be held, and he isn't telling every
thing he knows at present.
The miners leader is not showing
any more communicative spirit in New
York than he evidenced here. and this
fact is abundantly recognized by the
mine workers themselves. John is
keeping pretty quiet, I see," remarked
Dilcher. with a chuckle, yesterday.
The meeting is very likely. however.
to be held this week. April comes on
Monday, and is the day set by the
Hazleton convention for the conference
with the operators. A session of the
board will undoubtedly be called before
then to decide on course of action to
be pursued in event of the operators
continuing to maintain their negative
attitude. President John Mitchell is a
member of the national board. and so
are Nice-President r. l.. Lewis. OF
Ohio. and Secretary w. b. Wilson, or
| this state.
The other members are w. r. Fair
ley, of Alabama: Edward Mckay, OF
Pennsylvania, a member from the
bituminous field: George Purcell, of In
diana: Joseph Pendleton, of Arkansas:
James Boston, of Illinois; Benjamin
James, of Pennsylvania, and Frederick
! Dilcher. of Nelsonville, o.
The board consists of eleven menu
bers, and besides the members named
above there is another to be yet elected
| to fill the place caused by the resig-
nation of John Fahy. of District 9. or
| this body. Mitchell himself it may be
said with a very fair degree of cer-
} tainty. favors a strike, unless a confer
| ence is agreed upon.

Rev. James Mcleod, u. D., OF the
First Presbyterian church, and Attor-
ney Charles Il. Daniels left for Harris
burg yesterday afternoon as a commit
tee representing the signers of the pro-
test against the Vaughan license bill,
which protest was adopted at the meet
ing of the city clergy held last Thurs
day morning.
The committee will endeavor to Sc
cure a recommital of the bill. and then
make their remonstrance. or viii try
to secure a hearing before the house.
A protest was circulated yesterday
among the city business men. and a
large number Of names were affixed To
1t. This document will be laid before
the house, as an evidence of the trend
of public sentiment. Its fun text fol-
lows:
We, the undersigned. citizens aud business r,en
Of Scranton. respectfully protest against th1
passage OF the Vaughan bill reducing the cost
Of retail liquor licenses from Si,l0O TO $3.50, tor
the following reasons. 10 witt The city Of Scran'
ton has just passed from the third class TO see
end class m cities, and il in need Of all "cye-
tues obtainabc. The city requires for addi'
tonal salaries and the expense Of paid fire de-
partmcnt, which is irperatively demanded, about
10000 additional revenue. The Vaughan hui
would cut on city revenues instead Of Increasing
them.
To date under the Sll00 act lJs licenses
have been issued, yielding the city Sli2,OO,
while the greatest possible revenue TO be dc.
rived under the Vaughan bill would I've about
SaI POO, provided the same number licenses (20)
should not be taken out this year last year.
With the increased expenditure consequent upon
being second class city, this difference in rere'
mo is of importance TO taxpayers. Taxes OF m
dividuals are being increased. II the Vaughan
bill be passed. the license taxes Of liquor will be
decreascd--an injustice to taxpayers.

There is no officlal in the court house
more popular and none with wider
acquaintance. 1t has often been re-
marked that he would make an un-

The success of the Mems union in
its crusade on the unlicensed estab-
lishments in which intoxicants are
sold Is due in no small degree TO the
untiring efforts and indefatigable zeal
of the man in charge of the unions
staff Of detectives. Robert Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson has handled the campaign
against the proprietors of the tppling
houses like a general. and when the
various cases came up before the grand
jury the evidence he produced proved
50 strong and telling that In nearly
all of the instances In which he fig
ured as prosecutor, true bills were re-
turned.
Agent Wilson is i'm charge OF a large
number of special detectives, whose
sole duty is ferreting out speakeasies,
and then securing evidence against
them by the very simple and vet en-
ceedingly practical method of purchas-
ing specimens of the liquor dispensed
at the bar and satisfactorily estab-
lishing to themselves its nature.

quietly maps out and directs their
work and does it in an exceedingly
capable manner.

talk with a Tribune man last night,
said:
I'VE realize that the difficulty OF the

come, as has been argued by some Of
the measures champions. Mr.. Robin
son. in the statement he gave out, de-
clared that but one hundred and
twelve licenses would be taken out
unless the Vaughan bill was passed
and the cost reduced.
Already there have been one hun
dred and fifty-eight issued and COM
parison with 1900 shows the following
existing conditions: Last year there
were two hundred and fifty-three ap-
plications, of which ten were refused
and withdrawn and twenty not taken
out. OF the two hundred and twenty
three remaining. twenty-siX were for
brewers or wholesale licenses. leaving
one hundred and ninety-seven retail
licenses issued.

SOME COMPARISONS

This year. there were two hundred
and ninety-two applications, of which
number seven were refused and twen-
sale licenses. leaving two hundred and
fifty-elght retail licenses granted II
the same number were not taken out
this year as last, twenty. it would leave
total of two hundred and thirty-eight
for 1901, as against one hundred and
fifty-eight really taken out. The diff
ference in the revenue of the two years
is largely in favor of the city.
1.-TWO hundred and thirty-eight IL
censes brought the city the sum of
s74,615.5G, while one hundred and fifty
eight at $3.50 means a net total OF s139.-
O40, which is an increase in revenue OF
s64,424.42 for the city.
"Inasmuch as the estimates commit
tee of councils has been laboring under
tremendous difficulty in making the
anticipated revenues OF the city meet
the increased expenses, this increase In
the license revenues will be hailed with
satisfaction, providing, of course, they
are not stricken off by the passage of
Senator Vaughan's bill. 1t will be
further noticed that If the bill is passed
and dealers need pay only $3.50, the
revenues of the city will be diminished
10 s63,20o. net loss OF $4,000.
In case the measure is passed, a.
strong effort Will be made to have
Governor Stone withhold his Signature
to the bill"

The Chinese officials are somewhat

PEACE NOW PREVAILS,
France Has Received Full Satisfnc-
tion For Denands Made on the
Turkish Government.

Paris, Nov. 1.-THE French foreign
has signed an trade for the execu-
tion Of his engagements with the
French government, and that the
Franco-Turkish dispute is now at an
end. Tewfk Pasha, Ottoman minis
ter of foreign affairs, wrote a letter
to NJ. Bapst. councillor of the French
embassy in Constsntinople, notifying
him OF the signing of the trade,
which, while settling the original
French demands. accepts the fresh
demands as set forth in q dispatch
to the Temps from ,Constantinople
Friday. together with an additional
clause by which the sultan pledges
to consider as authorized in full right
the foundations, extensions, construc-
lions and repairs of the schools and
religious and hospitable establish
ments which France may desire to
carry out II the porte is advised of
her intentions and makes no object
ton within five months.
France has thus far received full
satisfaction, and NJ. Delcasse, on the
receipt of NJ. Bapst's dispatch, tele-
graphed him to inform Tewfik Pasha
that diplomatic relations had been re-
sumed, and that NJ. Bapst should con-
slider himself as regularly charged
with the affairs of the embassy.
Instructions were also sent to Adm.
Caillard at Mitylene to re-embark
the marine and to return to Greek
waters, which is understood to mean
