HARVEST HOME FESTIVAL.
"A Series of Tableaux Given in Elm
Park Church.

A delightful harvest home festival
was conducted last night in the base
ment of the Elm Park Methodist Epis-
copal church, under the auspices of the
Epworth league. The attendance was
rather small, because of the inclement
weather, and it was decided to repeat
the programme tonight
The particular feature of the enter
tainment was a series of tableauX rep
resenting country scenes. participated
in by a number of the members of the
league. There We're scenes representing
an old-fashioned husking bee and apple
cut, together with a series of hunting
scenes, all of which were prettily staged
and grouped. Perhaps the best tableau
was one entitled '"The Old Oaken
Bucket" which was accompanied by
the singing of that old but ever popular
song.
Miss Ozenbaum small girl about 0
years old, who seems to be II born act
ress, gave a number of clever recita-
tions. Her impersonation of the little
girl who forgot her piece and who broke
down and cried bitterly, was as capl-
tally done as anything seen on the
stage.
A double quartette sang MY Old
Kentucky Home" and number of pa
triotic songs, most acceptably; banjo
solo was played by Miss SAKE, and a
piano duet was executed by the Misses
Maycock and Weeks.

COUNCIL DIDN'T MEET
And the Ordinance Providing for
Scranton Street Pave May Have
to Be Re-introduced.

Common council was to have met last
night, but only nineteen members, or
one short of quorum, had put in an
appearance at S.15 o'clock. and an ad-
journment was taken. This failure to
meet may necessitate the passage Of a
new ordinance providing for a pave
ment on Scranton street between the
gas house bridge and the Lackawanna
railroad tracks.
Councils some months ago passed a
resolution announcing an intention to
pave that portion of the street men,
toned and giving the property owners
sixty days in which to signify their
wish as to the kind of material to be
used. This sixty days expired with no
petition from the property owners hav-
ing been filed.
An ordinance was accordingly intro
duced providing for paving the street
with vitrified brick. A paving ordin-
ance not accompanied by a petition
from property owners requires the fa-
vorable votes of three quarters of the
members of each branch of council on
final reading to render it's passage legal.
This necessary three-quarters vote was
secured in select council, but when the
measure was called up in common coun-
Gil at the last meeting only twenty
five or four less than three-quarters of
all the members voted for it.
The ordinance was therefore defeated
though every member present voted for
1t. In order to be legally passed it
would be necessary to reconsider the
former vote and then pass it again with
at least twenty-nine affirmative votes.
The rules of council provide that action
on no ordinance shall be reconsidered
except at the next regular meeting.
Now last night was the date fixed for
the next regular meeting and no meet
ing was held.
A number of the councilmen present
last night discussed the question, and
all seemed convinced that action on the
ordinance cannot be considered at the
next meeting and that therefore new
ordinance will have to be introduced.
