The lecture was given under the auspices of the Century cilub and the accommodation of the patrons was looked after by the following young women: Misses Louise Connell, Gretchen Mott, Mary Zehirder, Ruth Lerch, Lucy Sander son, Marian is.ingsDury mu jcu Hosie. With etereopticon slides and nicture films, the lecturer brought the audience face to face with the conditions surrounding Mexican life and problems.

The whole afforded an excellent contrast between conditions Immediately surrounding localities where foreigners have es tablished industries and communities not yet reached by the march of civilization. Th eabject poverty and ignorance of many people on the one hand and the military splendor and gaiety of others, and the development of) the resources on the other were all brought out in their various forms. Davis said that there is great work below the Rio Grande for this nation and for this people, and then with a series or pictures proceeded to show the conditions. The ruins and havoc of the many revolutions, the idols still worshipped by many people, the old cathedrals, native dwellings and types of life, were all thrown on the screen and explained in detail. One point of similarity drawn by the lecturer was that in Mexico it is difficult to get the men to church and views of worshippers Bhowed women greatly in the majority.

When the photograph of Diaz was shown Davis said that he is one of the greatest men produced during the 19th century. Huerta, he said, is almost a full blooded Indian, and in spite of his many faults and incompetency in some ways, is still the ablest man in the Mexi can army, villa, he claimed to be a man of great military genius and the dominating influence in Mexico. apata, he said, is the worst type of Mexican bandit bloodthirsty and devoid of de cency and common sense. 'iews of Vera Cruz were watched with keen interest, as being the central point in the present crisis. The tower, in which many Mexican sharpshooters were killed by our bluejackets, was shown, as was the headquarters of the United States consul, the harbor and other points read about in the newspapers.

The moving pictures showed many in timate glimpses of Huerta, as he reviewed the soldiers, conferred upon them badeea of honor, etc His actions in kissing the decorations and embracing army officers created considerable amusement. Other moving picture reels showed holiday festivities, soldiers at drill, and other fea tures of Mexican life of much interest at the present time. NO MEASLES AT ST.

W. Kamback and Is Tried for Assault. Court yesterday decreed that if I there was legal reasons for the break ing of a constables' nose the proboscis of the proper constable should have been' fractured and not that of an innocent attendant at a sale. This statement was brought about because I of the contention of Attorney John Edwards in the case of Constable J. W.

Kamback against Frank and Fred erick Pilger. The case was called for trial before I Judge H. M. Edwards yesterday at 1 ternoon in the main court room. Dis trict Attorney Maxey represented the! commonwealth and Attorney Edwards I the defense.

It was alleged by Constable Conley and Constable Kam back that a sale occurred at the prem 1 ises of the defendants at Old Forge I on March 28 last as a result of a land lord's warrant issued by Alderman W. S. Millar, of this city. During the) progress of the sale, or just as it was! about to commence, Frank Pilger Is I said to have advanced in a threatening manner toward Constable Kam back and after calling hima ordered him. from the premises.

Hel did not go as eoon as it was expected! he would and when Pilger came to his I side and ordered him to go and put! his fist in his face he resented it by pushing him aside. Then it is al leged that Pilger struck the consta ble and beat him so badly that his I nose was broken and his face disfigured. Later his father, Frederick Pil ger, struck tne constaDie. When Pilger was placed on the I stand he said that he struck the con stable after the latter had struck him and that he "pasted him good." He admitted that he struck him four or I five times and that after "my father! and I got through with him he was I covered wKh blood. Attorney Edwards contended that! his client had a right to beat Urn back and Judge Edwards said that I there was nothing in the evidence to show that Kamback was In any man ner concered In the alleged i trespass I and that even If the contention of thej attorney was correct that he had a right to break a constable's nose the! nose of the proper consiaDie snouiui have been 'Tn that event." said the judge, "the! nose of Conley should have been brok en, as he was the man who was con ducting the sale.

Th cniirt declared that there was I nntviiticr in the law to permit tne as sault nf any person as there were le ai remedies which could have been I resorted to. Pileer made a rather pronounced witness for the state when he admit 1 ted that he beat the other man sol hHiv that he was bleeding all over! and stated that he was satisfied that I diri the right tiling when ne aia u.

m. auv. POLITICAL FIELD Old Jupiter Pluvius got into politics when he decided he'd just deluge Scranton Monday nlKht, He spoiled the plans for the big Bible parade, and the parade was put over until next Monday night. That was the nighl set for a big Dimmick rally At Hall. But when the Dimmick force, heard of the big parade planned for that evening they decided not to enter intn comoetition for the crowds, or interfere in any way with the demon stration planned.

Thi' hnw the rain got into poll tics, for the Dimmick meeting is called orr. insteaa oi a oik raiiy io Hail, tha nimmick managers decide simnlv to have an open house at the neaaquariers on Wyoming avenue, ine open house win a novel tning in Dolitics. Mr. Dimmick will be on hand, and it will be a sort of reception, with cigars, and good words and enthusl asm to uass around. Dimmick managers decided that it would be as effective as any way to help the Dimmick cause, without inter fering in any way with the plans for the big parade.

The meeting for Wilkes Barre will be carried out, planned, and Candidate J. B. Dimmick will be among the speakers. Th change in plans means that in all his campaign throughout the state Mr. Dimmick will not have a chance to address the voters in his home town.

Supporters of his boom for the Re publican nomination point to this fact as indicating Mr. uimmick's strength in Northeastern Pennsylvania, nd bis willingness to abide bv the decision ot ns own townspeople, word was re ceived yesterday that J. Denny O'Neil, me Aiiegneny county commissioner. wno is a strong uimm ck man. nre diets the nomination of the local can dldate by a good majority.

Mr. iNeil is very much sat nfled with the campaign," it was said at local neaaquariers here. "He is making great headway in Plttsbursr. lesieruay Mr. uimmick spoke by In vitation to the ministerial msanria tion, of Pittsburg, and after his talk.

the clergymen adjourned the to creel mm. xnat an indication nf the enthusastic reception he is accorded there." Palmer McCormick men have arranged for a meeting in the Ninth Regiment Armory in Wilkes Barre In the interest of their ticket, which will be favored by an address by Secretary of State W. J. Bryan. The address of the secretary and the appearance of McCormick and Palmer on the same platform goes to prove the ancient adage about what kind of a bedfellow this old politics thing Is.

Judge John Garman. who was an original Bryan man in Northeastern Pennsylvania, advocating his candidacy for president on three different occasions, now finds himself on Jhe other side of the political fence from his former hero and is nreparing his batteries for a shot at the Secretary of State. In 1896, Congressman A. Mitchell Palmvr nr mm Democrat, supporting Senator Palmer, of Illinois, and Buckner against Bryan in the Democratic convention. McCormick.

too, voted against Bryan in the convention, and In the election nunnnrt.H Wil liam McKinl.y. judge Garman, who is now opposing Bryan, and the ticket thf R.v.n the national leaders are forcing down the throats of Pennsylvania Democrats" was Democratic state chairman in 1896 when Bryan was running for president on the 16 to 1 platform. At that time, the Democratic party was somewhat of a nonentity In Pennsylvania and nobodv could be found willing to sacrifice him elf as a candidate for Conaresa from the Luserne district. Rather than the party unrepresented. Juriir Rmn went into the field nanriiriut him self.

That's whv thera la mnr than Interest displayed in tonight's McCormick rally. Ryan men are circulating "facsimile reproductions of the editorial column of the Harrteburg Patriot to show the absence of the union label on the day that Vance McCormick took hold of that newspaper, and every day since. The reproduction shows the column on July 31, when D. A. Orr owned It.

Th. union label was then displayed under th. masthead. On August 1, the next day, when the control passed to McCormick, the reproduction shows the absence of the label. McCormick leaders, however, profess to place no Importance on this reproduction, declaring that tne proof of the Patriot's fairness to union labor Is found In the resolutions adopted by the district convention of th.
