Wadsworth, Jr., the Hlg- Kins candidate for speaker, confidently claimed bis own election. Christmas day will be fittingly observed in all the churches. Among: Catholic congregations there will be special services to mark the feast day. Imposing ceremonies, special music and elaborate decorations will In part constitute the especial tribute to the season. In St. John's church thp musses will be at 5, 7, 8, 9 and 10:30 o'clock.

At the 'solemn high masses the choir will? sing Mercadante's mass and the oljteratory piece will be the "Adeste Fldplis," a hymn sung only at Christmas time, by the choir. A handsome new crib, depicting the scenes about th$ lowly stable at the Nativity will be seen for the flrst time. This is a handsome group that was purchased recently at a cost of several hundred dollars. The figures are life-size and will be placed on a platform erected before the altar of St. Joseph. Thej platform has been completed, but the figures will not bo placed in it until .'Sunday night and will be seen for the first time Christmas morning. There will be no other services than those mentioned during the day, but the church will be open and will be visited by many of the parishioners and by visitors.

Michael J. Dady of Brooklyn, chairman of the Kings county Republican committee, declared himself opposed to the election of Wadsworth. That the literature of the various companies, much of which is misleading, has never been examined by the department.

A third council promptly took the place of the second, The continuation of the coroner's investigation into the murder of John Schlaikus, of Inkerman, whose badly beaten body was found near a culm pile at that place last Saturday night, was set down for 4 o'clock this afternoon, in the office of Deputy Coroner Casterllne, in the Uennett building, Wllkesbarre. Considerable interest was manifested in the investigation and the indications were that some pertinent testimony might be given. He also charged Governor Higgins with similar conduct and said both were trying to wreck the party to satisfy personal ambition. Mr. Odell said: jured in Scranton. That the superintendent was aware that the law gave him power to examine into these matters. HOUSEHOLD FILTERS. "Mr. Roosevelt said It was n shame that New York should be represented iu the senate by twrt almost senile old men (Piatt and Depew); that the great state of New York should have men who could speak for it with credit and command attention of the senate and the country; that It should have a man like former Governor Black.

This rumor gained circulation on account of the fact that one ! day when police officers went to her : home she was not to be found. That j Mrs. Schlaikus has not disappeared J was shown by the fact that she appeared at the office of the deputy coroner, in Wllkesbarre, this afternoon at 2 o'clock, a couple of hours before | the time set for the opening of the j Inquest. Her testimony will be of importance.One man was killed and another seriously Injured by coming In contact with live electric wires In Scranton yesterday afternoon.

In St. Mary's church, 'Upper Pittston, the services will be of a simplenature. owing to the fact that the congregation occupies at present a temporary jDlace of worship, pending the completion of their new church. Masses will be at 6. 8 and 10. The choir, under the leadership of M. E. golden, will sing Emerson's mass in E flat. The most efficient method of purifying contaminated water supplies on a large scale is by means of sand filter beds in which the water percolates very slowly through a layer of fine sand several feet in thickness. Cities that have Installed such plants report a great Improvement in their health statistics. Knowledge of the danger to be apprehended from the water supply has become so widespread, however, that domestic filters intended to be used by the individual householder have come into general use.

In the church of St. Mary's of the Assumption, in addition to the services of Christmas cheer .the congregation will have an uddei&pleasure In hearing for the flrst time a fine new pipe organ now being placed In the church. The organ was built by Mr. Baumelster, a member of the congregation, and has been In course of construction for a year past. It is now being placed In the church and Its builder is busily engaged getting it In readiness for Monday.

Anthony Kernozicky, the prisoner i in thf case, was to be brought down j from the county jail and given a chance to testify before the coroner's Jury in his own behalf. At the first session of the Jury, the prisoner made no attempt to explain away the circumstances of his trousers, worn on the day of the murder, being discovered in the vault of an outhouse at his | home, covered with blood. It is pos- I slble that the prisoner may be able to offer some explanation that will clear himself of the charge brought against him. Several other witnesses are on Mr. Hendricks declared that It would be a great mistake and grave error to giant his department or himself any more power over insurance companies than it held at the present time. Coupled with tills declaration was the statement that he could see that an insurance company would be justified in paying its president a salary of $400,- 000 yearly if lie were a good investor. record -I think he appointed ray brother as postmaster at my home in Newburg.

The heavy*"wind storm of Wednesday night and early yesterday morning created much havoc to the electric light, telephone and telegraph wires. Poles were blown down In many instances, while the wires in all parts of the city were consldecably tangled. This was particularly true at the Erie railroad bridge In the rear of the armory. where, during the early morning the conditions were such that some of the night men went out to cut the wire, thus preventing a possible fire. Moscow reports serious disorders and lighting between troops and strikers. Martial law was proclaimed in the city. Crowds of strikers marched through the streets of Moscow trying to close the postofflces and all the stores. These are of numerous varieties and employ many different substances as the filtering medium, such as charcoal, sand, mineral wool, unglazed clay or porcelain and so forth. These may appear to be very useful, owing to their ability to remove a certain amount of coloring matter and floating materials, but as usually employed they fall far short of the necessary degree of efficiency and may even be directly a source of added danger apart from the false sense of security they inspire.

Make no mistake about that," be added savagely. Strike leaders boasted that the strike will be transformed into an armed revolution, the orators at the meeting declaring that Itussia will be drenched with blood before the long struggle ends. These declarations were made after Mr. Hughes had asked the witness to make suggestions as to what additional power should be granted his department in order to more efficiently control Insurance companies. "1 charge President Roosevelt and Governor Higgins with Injecting their personalities into the speakership contest. They will be to blame if disaster results. 1 and my friends have not made this tight, but now we are for Yesterday afternoon, shortly after 3 o'clock, Lineman Saxon, of the electric light company, was sent by Line Superintendent Duffy to repair the break, and Murifhy was sent out to assist him. While Mr. Saxon was down the hand, including Justice Wynn, of Inkerman; a foreigner named Shula, who was in the Schlalkua house on the evening before the murder was committed and who left the house with Kernozicky, the prisoner, a few hours before the murder was committed; also half a dozen neighbors of the Schlaikus family.

He eliminated all but Merritt and said that neither New York nor Buffalo could have it because it would stir up opposition against the cities. I asked him if Merritt would be satisfactory to him, and he asked me to see Mr. Merritt and ask him some questions. There is but one safe way for the consumer to deal with a doubtful water supply. If enough suspicion attaches to the water to make the use of a filter seem desirable the conditions are such that halfway measures are out of place and only absolute sterilization can be considered. Every drop of such water intended for table use should be thoroughly boiled.

The solemn Gregorian muss will be sung at both services and will undoubtedly be excellently rendered, as the choir has been engaged on It for some time. Father Quinnin was one of the first pastors to conform with the new rule of the church regarding church music and, consequently, since the rule has been made positive, St. Cecilia's choir is one of the first in this section to be prepared to sing the ritualistic music.
