QUAD CLUB OUTING. Races the Reature of tha Day at Lake Scranton. The P. Quad club held is annual outing at Lake Scranton, yesterday, where about 75 of the members were driven in large carry alls. The start was scheduled for 8 o'clock in the morning1, but threatening weather caused them to wait until noon.

The afternoon was pleasantly spent in various amusements and a clam dinner was served at 5 o'clock. Run nine, lumping and a fat man's race were the sporting events of the day, The party returned about 9:00 o'clock, CAUGHT A DEAF AND DUMB BURGLAR Officer Quinnan's Experience Yester day Boyle Feigned Sleeping on the Bar. A deaf and dumb burglar is laboring under a great disadvantage, as J. Boyle, an alleged one of that descrip tion. Boyle will be tried today for drunkenness and forcible entry.

While passing O'Hara saloon on upper Lackawanna avenue, yesterday morning at 3:60 o'clock, Officer Quin r.an noticed that the door had been forced open. It was nearly four hours after closing time, and the officer im mediately decided that he was about to catch some burglars. The interior was very dark and Quinnan drew his revolver as he en tered. At the farthest end of the bar lie was tsartled to place his hand on the form of a man. Seizing him with a grip that evoked a yell of pain, the officer held him while he struck a match.

He recognized Boyle imme diately. A brief search was sufficient to show that Boyle was alone. He had lain down on the counter and was feigWng sleep when the officer's pinch startled him from further slumbers. At police headquarters the man tola in writing that he was drunk and sought a place to sleep, with no intention of burglary. The story would have held good had it not been for the fact that Boyle's reputation is said not to be the very best.

He has served time in the penitentiary on similar charges and in the county Jail for robbing a man and then It is said placing the man, who was drunk, on the railroad track. i LOCAL GOSSIP.

Mrs. Margaret Murray, wife of the late Daniel Murray, whose death oc curred Saturday night, was a woman dearly beloved by a host of friends. She had resided In this city for some forty years, coming here from Lake wood, N. J. Twenty years ago her husband died, leaving her with a family of nine children for whom she struggled hard and faithfully.

She was, Indeed, a model mother, who lived with and for her children. She was a woman of rare intelligence and charming conversation. Being a student, she was conversant with history and kept posted on the events of the day. She was ever entertaining and enlightening. As a Catholic she was devout and consistent.

She lived as she believed, ever useful and helpful to those in need. Though a struggling widow with a large family, she gave liberally to tie poor and she was always interested in them. She lived, an ideal Christian life, forgiving an uncomplaining and in the goodwill and respect of those with whom she came In contact. She is survived by four sons and four daughters. They are: John and Charles, of this city; Edward of Buffalo; D.

As the geologist wades about among the pools or follows the shore line at low water, he is Impressed with the prodigious amount of lime segregated from the sea water by the superabundant marine life exhibited on all sides, says Mines and Minerals.

Every pool, every rock, is teeming with life of some kind, and most of these organisms have secreted a certain amount of lime from the sea water to form shells on their bones, internal as well as external, structure. Most of the pools are lined with so called "sea mosses," more strictly calcareous fern like corallines ot pink or purple hues, the lime secreted by minute polyos. In addition to this, there are many forms of algae, or sea plants, that secrete lime. Considerable masses of a structureless limestone are so formed in the Bay of Naples. Apart from the vast beds of sea shells we know to be secreted in the mud and sand, as well as those shells like the abalone found under the rocks, an enormous amount of segregated lime is represented by various forms of Crustacea, particularly of the worm of annelid family, encased In tubes of lime.

These tubes cover the floors of caves, while the walls are still more densely coated with limpets and rock barnacles, while in the crevices hundreds of little crabs crawl about and menace you with suspicious eyes and formidable claws, and hermit crabs carrying their whelk shell home on their backs swarm In the pools. With such a teeming superabundance of lime gathering life, the mining geologist no longer wonders at the vast amount of limestone' he meets with in. the marine rocks, in which his blanket veins of lead and silver are found, as at Aspen and Leadville, and throughout the world generally wherever lead abounds. He sees now how it Is that occasionally he finds a fossil sea shell in the limestone wall of his mine, and only wonders he does not find more. In mines further east he would And the lime stone composed of nothing but a mass of pea shells.

Deposits of comminuted shells and coral sands, thrown up on shore by the stormy waves, may be cemented into a compact rock, or limestone, by the redeposit of carbonate of lime between the fragments. In such a way is formed the "shell limestone" of Florida, and doubtless many of our old fossiliferous limestones were formed In this way. THE SCRANTOff REPUBLICAN, MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1903. SILENCE CHRIST Kev. Charles E.

Yickerj's Sermon at Elm lark Church Seven Notable Utterances. CiiAIiACTEK STANDARDS Rev. Charles R. Vickery, assistant pastor of Kim Park, addressed an unusually large congregation last evening from a text found in Mark 15:34, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" It was a thoughtful discourse, modernized and of apnreg priate application. The thought of the sermon was prefaced by a mention and comparison of Christ's biographers.

Mark's written history of Christ was not a chonologi cal biography, said the speaker, but the writer did more than narrate. He went further than the external act and sought the motive. Biography was said to be valuable, only in presenting the motives which prompted deeds. To this faculty was attributed Mark's genius and the success of his roaster piece in literature. In further introduction of the thought to be developed later, Mr.

Vickery mentioned that the four Gospels were singularly successful andj complete in themselves, in that the theme was divine and the writers in spired. Never were books more fav ored. John adopted the simple, con versatlonal style; Matthew, the narra' tive; Mark chose memoirs and Luke, the exploits and teachings of John, Chronologically they may not always agree, but In spirit they are a composite unit. They do not close until their purpose, that of showing that the Christ was what he professed to be, was accomplished. And so with character everywhere.sald the speaker, we measure men, events and things by what they profess and accomplish.

With reference to the text, Mr. Vick ery stated two standards for judging character, motive and motor, silence and utterance. Follow a great man to some crisis in his life, he said, and it will be often noticed that he in silent when faced with a barrier which men would tear down by speech. In Christ's life this undertow of silence is striking. His divinity In that is as convincing as by word of mouth.

In the garden he was silent. When asked to defend himself and speak when on trial, and when railed, he malntainedhls silence, realizing his divinity. Likewise his measure was taken by utterance, the more common way. No one would go to Emerson's home, or to the cold boulder In the Concord graveyard to learn of Emerson. He would read Emerson.

To the last utterances, the heart words of great men, special significance is linked. Thus the last words of Socrates and St. Paul are illustrative the character of the men. So with Christ. He is distinctly measured by those last words, towering in significance above all he said and did.

There were seven notable utterances which sum up the whole character of COURSEN'S BLUE STAMPS WITH DOLLAR PURCHASES. BRING COUPONS. Headquarters for Peaches, Melons, California Fruits, fresh Vegetables, Coffees, Teas and fancy Groceries. Wholesale and Retail E. 6.

Christ, noted the addressed to three, groups: The mob, the thief, and the group where his mother and fa vored disciple stood. They were made while nailed on the tree in a world alien to him and while acting a part that didn't belong to his life. It was but natural that he should make the address to his God, the words of the text, after attending to his mother, promising the thief a paradise with him and addressing the crowd, "Fath er, forgive them," etc.

His fifth ut terance was the only personal one. asking for a drink in the words, thirst." His sixth was the memorable utterance, "It Is finished," and lastly, "Father into thy hands I commend my spirit," words of final resignation. On the words the fourth utter ance, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Mr. Vickery placed special significance and drew from them the lesson of the sermon, ine words are a soliloquy, not an agonizing cry of despair, said the speaker. It was not possible that af ter such a cry as that, showing his in timacy with the father and cofidence in thus addressing him, that he could be in the depths of despair.

The very thought is nulifled in the act. The motive is elsewhere, and was not orig inal with Christ. It was said in the 22d Psalm and 18th verse: "They part my raiment among them and cast lota upon my vesture." Christ was not forsaken, nor are we at such times as when we may be prompted to thus cry out," said the speaker. "Christ in some mysterious way is working out for us a high destiny. As Christ's cry was a shout of triumph in close communion, so we have an eternal hope in praying, 'My God, my He is never nearer than then." GRIEVANCES FOR UMPIRE TO DECIDE Some Hard Nuts for Carrol D.

Wright to Crack Oil Now Depends'' Upon Him. The failure of the conciliation board to agree on any of the great grievances referred to it on account of the tie between the operators' and the miners' representatives on the body, and the delay in the adjustment of many of the minor complaints from each one of the three anthracife districts, have caused considerable dissatisfaction among the mine workers at the colleries directly affected, but no general discontent of a serious character as yet among the miners as a whole, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. The award of the Strike Commis sion providing for the appointment of the Conciliation Board was at first looked upon as the proper relief for whatever disputes might arise between the operators and their men, but when each, side placed on the membership of the body its foremost advocates, hope for the adjustment of the important grievances without reference to the umpire was given up. It was the expectation of the miners that the board would meet oftener than once a week and dispose of the matters before it with dispatch. With a session once a week little progress has been made so far.

District President Dettrey expressed himself a week ago today as being disgusted with the conciliation board. Like the other presidents of the Mine Workers he favored referring all matters in dis puts back to the Strike Commission, so as to get a clear understanding as to the intent of the president's strike arbitration. Mr. Dettrey said that the public would! be greatly surprised if it knew on what grounds the operators' representatives refused to adjust some of the more Important of the miners' complaints on which the conciliators are deadlocked. He declined to say what reasons the other side advanced for refusing to coincide with the views of the Mine Workers' presidents.

The principal grlevanaeg of the miners In this district relate to alleged discrimination against former strikers by Coxe Co. and the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company, and the computation by some of the companies of the 10 per cent, increase on the net instead of the gross earnings of the men. The Coxes agreed, when the strike at their mines was settled last fall, to take back all the miners except those under indictment for crime at the time. A majority of the men who were accused of misdemeanors during the strike were acquitted or their cases Ignored by the Grand Jury, but It is estimated that three fourths of this number are still idle. This, the mine workers contend, is a violation of the findings of the president's commission.

The Lehigh Coal and Navigation company made no agreement whatever with its men when the strike ended except that it announced its wlll lngness to abide by the decision of the commission. About 150 miners, many of whom took an active part In the strike, are still without work In the Panther Creek district, where the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company has exclusive control of the collieries. Objection is also made by the mine workers as to the manner In which the monthly increase under the operation of the sliding scale is paid. The companies have no regular time for the distribution of the extra money; some pay in the first half and others the latter half of the month following the announcement of the average prele of coal at tidewater and the bonus to which the miners are entitled. The companies expect, however, to systematise, this matter before long and no serious difficulty is looked for on this score, Much depends on the umpire, Carroll P.

Wright, who has been called in to settle the Questions on which the conciliators are tied. Tf his decision on the points on which there i an equal division of opinion among the six conciliators are fair, the dissatisfaction caused by the futility of the board to agree will vanish. If, however, he rulis against the miners on several of the most vital Issues, such as the one relating to the right 0f ilA nant nAmtiAnlAa 4a i4ln1tnniA men for any cause, except membership I in a labor union, some developments may be looked for. President Dettrey, of this district, has announced that if an adverse ver diet is rendered on the "right to dlS' charge" question he will be ready to resign as a conciliator. Such a step would disorganize the body and bring about a condition of affairs not con templated by President Roosevelt's Commission.

Carroll D. Wright, the new conciliation 6oardumptre, was born In Dunbarton, N. July 25, 1840. He received his education In the public schools of his native state, and when the war broke out he was studying law. He enlisted in the Fourteenth New Hampshire regl ment, and in 1864 became its colonel.

He served for a time as adjutant general under General Sheridan, but resigned in lSba on account of poor health. Then he resumed his law studies, and in Oc tober, 1805, was admitted to the bar. Af, ter practicing his profession in New Hampshire several years he removed to Massachusetts. In 1871 he was elected to the state senate, and while still a member of that body wag appointed chief ot the state bureau of labor statistics He held this position 15 years. In 1880 he was appointed state supervisor of the, national census, ana in isso tne governor of Massachusetts commissioned him to examine the public records of the towns, parishes, counties and courts of the state.

The law providing for the estAb lishment of a national bureau of labor was passed in 1884, and In 1885 Mr. Wright was appointed its first commissioner. Since then he has published an immense number of reports and official documents, and in addition works on "Strikes and Lockouts," 1887; "Ethics of 1886: "The Present Actual Con dition of the Workingmen," 1S87; "Hand Labor in Prisons," 1887: "Historical Sketch of the Knights of Labor," 1S86; "Historical Sketch of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers," 1893. His fame as a statistician and au thority on all questions of labor is now worldwide. In 1885 President Cleveland appointed Mr.

Wright commissioner of lnbor, and President McKinley reappoint ed him in 1900. In 1804 he was one of the commissioners who investigated the railroad strike In the West. When the anthracite coal strike commission was appointed by President Roosevelt latt year Mr. Wright was made recorder, but was afterward appointed a member. THOMAS REAP DIED AT DUNSMIIR, CAL.

Buried There Five Weeks Ago Address of His Relatives Wanted. A letter was received at The Re publican office yesterday from Duns muir, In which it stated that Thomas Reap, formerly of this city, died there on July 10. The letter evidently refers to "Tom" Reap who for almost 30 years was a familiar figure in the Lackawanna baggage office in this city. He went west about 12 years ago and in the meantime nothing had been heard of him and his wife, Winnie Reap, gave him up for dead years ago. Last night The Republican was unable to locate Mrs.

Reap or any children, If any. of the deceased. Reap was about CO years of age at the time of his death and when in this city lived in a house near the Oxford breaker, which he owned at that time. According to the information from Calflornla he was taken ill and sent to the hospital, where he was an inmate but two days when he died. The letter can be secured by the relatives by calling at The Republican office this afternoon.

The Republican Jubilee. A committee of Republicans has been organized at Detroit to arrange for a jubilee at Jackson. in March, 190 1, to celebrate the com pletion of the fiftieth year of existence of the Republican party, established In that city in March, 1834. republicans are to be invited from other parts of the country, and as the Jubilee will precede by some months the Republican national convention of lUlU, special interest, it is believed, will be taken in the gathering. It is usual to speak of the Repub lican party as organized at Pittsburg In 1855.

The first convention taking the name of Republican assembled there, and after adopting a platform of principles adjourned "to meet in Philadelphia in June, 1856. At the Philadelphia convention Fremont and Dayton, the first candidates of the Republican party for president and vice president, were put in nomination. The honor of establishing the Re publican party has been claimed by sundry cities, like Homer's birthplace but, historically, Jackson, ap pears to be entitled to the honor. Jackson's claim Is based upon the fol lowing, circumstances: In the Thirty third congress, Michi gan had two Democratic senators and four Democratic representatives. In the election for the Thirty fourth con gress the Republicans carried three of the four districts of Michigan and the three Republican members called a meeting at Jackson, the state capital.

and adopted there the name Republi can, as that of a national party. Subsequently, at Detroit. Milwaukee and elsewhere in the West, the name Republican was taken up, but it was not until the meeting at Pittsburg that representatives from other states made their appearance, acquiescing in tne aeciareci purpose ot tne party. wnicn was not to bring about the abo lition of slavery, but to oppose any extension of it to Western territories, Michigan has given a popular ma jority for the Republican party in every presidential election since the first gathering at Jackson.

GUERNSEY HALL 314 316 Washington Ave. Write for Catalogue. in WITH REGULARS MW National Gnard of Pennsylvania on Saturday Became Subject to Call of the President. CHANGES ARE THE KESULT On Saturday last the National Guard of Pennsylvania became subject to the call of the president of the United States. The militia bill, passed by congress last January, became operative on that day, although Its provisions are already in force in this state under general orders issued nearly five months ago by Governor Pennypacker.

Little interest isbeing taken by guardsmen lit the fact that the bill becomes a law this week, as they have already become familiar with its intent and have found nothing in it to which objection could well be raised. It will have a number of curious bearings on the guardsmen of Pennsylvania, however. Under the old law the guard was liable to two weeks camp service every year, and to any other service the governor might deem proper. For this the privates were paid $1.50 a day, the officers receiving proportionately high pay. These duties still remain, but it is now possible for the president to call out the guard and assign it to service in any; part of the world the very next day after the governor has acted.

The enlisted men would then receive a month instead of $1.50 a day. Another effect it will have on the men is that it will require each one to have three complete uniforms instead of two, as now. Under the Militia bill the National Guards are put in the regujar army basis as far as equipment is concerned. January 1, 1905, is the time fixed by which the change must be completed. Long before that time It Is believed the Pennsylvania troops will have the new green uniform serge for summer and woolen for winter.

The reorganization of the army practically put the hoys in blue, so dear to the poet and sentimentalist, out of existence. Only the dress uniforms, under the new system, will be of blue and will be seldom seen. This will apply to the National Guards, of course, so that an extra uniform will be needed by each man. The facings of the new infantry uni forms are different from the old. In stead of white, which has heretofore been the distinctive mark of this arm of the service, the color will be a light blue, almost slate In tint.

This change has already been wade almost universally in the Pennsylvania guard. Krag Jorgensen rifles have also replaced nearly all the Springflelds for merly used. One feature of the new Dili was put into effect at Mt. Gretna, wnue tne Third Brigade was there. This was Inspection by officers of the regular army.

This was made possible by Governor Pennypacker's orders, which really antedated the law. Knights of Pythias frv.iirfnn nrnnfl TidcA conven tion at Carbondale on Wednesday, leaving for Lake Lodore in the after TrIn leaves Scranton 7:45 a. m. Grand parade in morning. Goldsmith's Bazaar.
