"Billy" Thinks Commercial
( "Ads" Occupy Too Much

I Advocates Modern Meth
ods in Religion.
By a Staff Corretrondent
PATEKSO.V. N. ' J., April 23. "Billy"
Sunday has two new Ideas this morning,
one sartorial and the other pictorial. One
hasn't a thin to do with evangelism; the
other has, one Is somebody else's Idea.
The other Is "Billy's" own conception.
The sartorial Idea, which originated In
the Chamber of Commerce of UiIh city
and whl-h "I'llly" has adopted, Is that
men nil over the United States should
ear shlmmery silk suits In the summer
time "Billy Is KolnB to do It and set
tho fashion, thus "oilt-BrjnnlnK" William
Jennings B. and his well-known nlpRca.
Since "Billy" Is going In for silk suits,
Paterron has dccldbd to supply Ills ward
robe for tho remaining summers of his
life. It Is suggested that the wnrdiohe
shall Include a black silk cutaway, a
black silk evening coat, n black silk
Prince Albert, a half-dozen black and
blue and brown and mauve silk sack
suits, nnd blue silk pajamas. He will
appear In one of the silk suits at a "silk
suit luncheon," to bo given here In May
by the Chamber of Commerce. That Is, If
"Ma" will let him. "Ma" says that
"Blllj" haB two fnults temper nnd
clothes. ' Billy" always Is togged up to
the minute.
THE PICTORIAL IDEA.
"Why, Mr. Sunday," says trainer, ex
puglllst and assistant evangelist Jack
Cardiff, "Mr. Sunday, he won't put on
trousers that aren't creased sharp enough
to cut you, he won't."
"Billy's" pictorial Idea opens up new
fields In evangelism. He wants to see
salvation flared forth by electric lights
on Broadway or Chestnut street.
"I'd like," said he, between mouthfuls
of sliced oranges, "to see salvation put
on as successful a bnsls as modern busi
ness and politics. There is no reason
why the man riding from New York to
Philadelphia shouldn't sec a big sign "Be
euro your sins will find you out,' nnd a
lltle further on another sign "If we con
fess our sins, Christ will forgive our
transgressions.' " Although despite pov
erty In the convert line. "Billy" was
pleased last night when he learned that
only $3,763 was needed In the tin pan col
lection beTore the J22.O00 expenses of the
campaign will be met His temper got
the better of him when the meeting was
Interrupted by a fainting woman.
He stopped short In the very middle of
a vehement sentence, grabbed his Bible,
and flung himself Into his chair.
"Good heavens," he exclaimed, "If
jou'd get as excited about people going
to the devil as you do nbout a sick wo
man you might be of some use In bring
ing souls to the Kjngdom of God." A
number of ministers appeared to be
shocked. When It came to the call for
converts "Billy" got after them with a
"What's the mater with you preachers?
Get down off tho platform and help some
body to Christ. If you don't, I'll have to
declare your seats vacant." He looked
as though he meant It.
PHILADELPHIA GIBLS TO ATTEND.
Everything Is In readiness for Mothers'
Day, tomorrow. Tho 100 young women
coming to Paterson from Philadelphia
will play a big part in it.
The Philadelphia girls will attend ser
vices conducted by Mlsa Miller tomor
iow at the Church of the Redeemer.
They will so to the tabernacle on Sunday
afternoon. They will hear Miss Miller
again at the 5th Regiment Armory. On
Sunday night they will be In Miss Gam
lln'3 audience at the Regent Theatre.
"Billy" will preach on "Devil's Boom
erangs, or Hot Cakes Oft the Griddle,"
to men on Sunday. He has been Invited
to address the prisoners at the county
jail and he Is thinking about addressing
the convicts at Sing Sing.
In all probability "Billy" will not visit
Philadelphia during his Paterson revival.
He is too tired, he said, to do It. "We're
through with Philadelphia." said "Ma,"
"and I don't think It would be right for
Mr. Sunday to preach In one church
there when so many churches were In
terested In the campaign."
The church In which "Billy" was asked
to speak In Philadelphia was one In which
John Wanamaker Is Interested.
"Billy" Is a Rotarlan, and will address
the Rotary Club, of this city, today.
Opponents of the campaign are laugh
ing today over the arrest of one of the
young women who was "sentenced" by
Recorder Carroll to "one tabernacle serv
Ive." The woman la under arrest again.
When she was taken In by an officer, she
had, according to local papers, "a frank
furter In one hand and a hymn book In
the other, and In the hymn book was
written, 'Sadie Cunningham, saved April

"BABY EARL MORRIS,
"J-.00 Merlon ave., West Phlla."
This note Is no longer a mystery, but
less than a week ago It rather puzzled
Sergeant Thomas G. Sterrett, who found
It one morning slipped under the door of
the United Stntcs marine recruiting office,
at 1103 Arch street. The missive was In
closed in a much-besmudged envelope and
In tho envelope was 1 cent.
"Another crank letter," the sergeant de
cided, and threw the note Into a waste
basket.
Sergeant Sterrett has changed his opin
ion, however, for "Baby" Earl .Morris it
not a rrank but a robust G-ycar-old boy,
who Is now a frequent visitor at the re
cruiting office and gives promise of b
Ing ono of the most efficient and enthu
siastic recruits who ever sought enlist
ment in the Marine Corps.
"Baby" made his first appearance at
the recruiting office the other day with
his mother, Mrs. Ernest B. Morris, who
explained that she "couldn't do a thing
with the child" because of his determina
tion to enlist.
"I am really qulto worried about him,"
she said, "for he won't cat anything and
he hasn't slept for the last week. Ho talks
guns, soldiers and war from morning
until night, nnd wants to see every waf
'movie' In the city."
At this point "Baby" Interrupted.
"I guess my letter must have got lost,"
he said. " 'cause you never answered It
an' I know George Washington would
answer It If he got It 'cause lie is n big
sojer an' an' I guess he didn't get It.
'cauie It must have got lost, so I thought
I'd better conic down an' see you 'bout
it so I can Join tho George Washington
army right away."
"Baby" then explained that his "really
truty" name Is Shepherd Rodney Earl
Morris, 6 years old and "goln' on 7." He
proudly exhibited an air rifle and a
'Nltcd States flag which he had brought
along.
EAGER TO JOIN WASHINGTON.
"Course I though I might need' em," he
said, "cause a sojer always needs a gun
an' a flag and George Washington might
want me to fight 'most any minute, so If
It's nil tho samo to you I'll get right into
my sojer suit so I'll be all ready. Where
is it?"
"Baby" was almost heartbroken when
told that he would have to wait until he
was 15 years old before he could even en
list as an apprentice to real soldiership.
He was only pacified when Sergeant Ster
rett took hlm In hand and showed . him
how to operate the big "machine sun"H
and assured him that he should devote
his time to target practice with the air
rifle If he wanted to be a good "sojer."
Mrs. Morris explains the child's Inclina
tions toward the military service by the
fact that three of his great-uncles servod
under the colors In the Civil War.
"I don't believe In. this song about not
raising your son to be a soldier," she
said. "If 'Baby' wante to be one I shsll
not stand In his way, for I certainly
would be proud to have ft boy of mine pa
triotic enough to devote his life to serving
his country."
Since "Baby's" Initial visit to the re
cruiting station he has returned every
day and has become a favorite with the
recruiting officers. When the time comes
when he must go he always tells his new
comrades, "Don't worry. I'll be back
again tomorrow," and then, with a salute,
he marches from the office, his alrgun
over one shoulder, the flag over the other.

GAS RANGE WAS BORN
HERE 50 YEARS AGO
Golden Anniversary of Manu
facture of First Stove Will Be
Observed Universally Next
Week.
Philadelphia Is the home of the modern
gas range. The flrit stove sold with
nil appliances for cooking, baking and
roasting by gas was made In this clt
nearly 40 years ago, and today six of the
largest factories In the world producp
enough gns ranges to make tho annual
local output greater than that from any
other city In the world.
Tho gas r.mgo Is not the only stove that
wbb evolved In Pnllailclphla. Way back
before I7t,0 Benjamin I'ranklln suggested
a stovo standing in a room awny from
the chimney. Tills wns the llrst time any
such thing had ever been thought of anil
Franklin, In his characteristic way. do
scribed tho details of his newest dream's
construction. It Is In view of these facts
that "Gas Range Week." which beginning
noxt Monday will be celebrnted all over
this country, has nn added significance
to this city
The llrst recorded suggestion of tho use
of artificial gas for cooking and heating
was in tho patent taken out In England
in 1S05 by R A. Windsor, for a process of
"extracting inflammable air from ooal."
Little was dono to utilize this gas for
other than lighting purposes until 11.
when a small oven with a circle of gas
flames about a reflecting cone was built.
Between 1SJ0 and 1810 Inventions for cook
ing and heating by gas became increas
ingly numerous, but all wero crude.
About 1E61 Charles Burnham & Co.,
10th and Sansom streets, built the "Old
Dominion Gas Cooking Stove." This
was the first distinctive gas stove ever
sold and resembled closely tho portable
stoves sold today. The "Old Dominion"
was a three-burner hot plate with a poit
able oven and a sadiron heater for usi
on the top burners. This stove and Us
numerous variations were exhibited at tht
Centenninl Exhibition In 137G.
The first stove to approach the modern
gas range was built by W'llllanVW. Good
win & Co., 1012 Filbert street. This firm
In 1878 built the "Sun Dial" rango. a
picture of which accompanies this article.
Every gas range since then has been
merely a variation or Improvement of this
"Sun Dial." Tho stove had a burner
in the top of the lower oven, which was
used for broiling. '
This burner also heated the upper oaK
Ing oven. Under the top burners was a
removable drip pan. The top of the range
was a solid casting with a number of
small projections on which the cooking
utensils rested Holes were cut for the
tops of the burners. All these details,
only In more Improved forms, are familiar
to the COth century housewife.
The present-day cabinet ranges, which
are the latest step In tho gas stove. In
dustry, are composed of a number of
broiling and baking ovens, with addi
tional top burners and a variety of com
binations of these parts. Thus It Is pos
slble to obtain a range suited for every
conceivable culinary purpose. The new
creations range In size from those built
for the small flat to enormous stoves
used In hotels and restaurants.
Some of the conveniences which are
found on the modern range Include top
shelves, warming closets, canopies to
carry off the heat, smoke and odors;
hoods, glass-door panels, temperature In
dicators, enamel equipment, porcelain
cook handles and other details for com
fort and cleanliness. The latest develop
ment has been building elevated ovens,
broilers and other heaters, thus obviating
the necessity of stooping. The Incon
venience of bending over to look at what
Is being cooked Is appreciated by house
keepers. An Idea of the proportions of a cabinet
range may be had when It Is realized
that the stovo shown in contrast with the
"Sun Dial" consists of SO distinct parts.
A later evolution of gas appliance is In
the extension of the use of gas to the
so-called "all gaa kitchen." In these
rooms a gas water heater, a gas Iron, a
gas water bterlllzer, a gas garbage in
cinerator and gaslight are found accom
panying the range.

BLIND MAN IN COURT
Prisoner Accused of Assnult Dis
charged by Magistrate.
A dlfllcult problem confronted Magis
trate Beaton, In the Central police court,
today, when William Gelger, known as
"Blind Bill" was brought before 'hlm,
nccused of assaulting Joseph Dalton, of
21C South 10th street. Bill said ho wasn't
huio that he struck Dalton, although ho
wns quite positive that Dalton wns the
man who lind been insulting him whllu
he was making his round selling shoe
laces.
Bill said he had known Dalton for
years, and was qulto sure of his voice
when Dalton called hlm a vile name and
accused him of being an Impostor. The
blow ralcd a lump on Dalton's face,
and he wns sent to the Hahnemann Hos
pital. Bill and Dalton were taken to
City Hall. "As no one Is here to corrobo
rate cither of you," said the Maglstrnte,
"I will discharge both and warn you to
end all hostilities."

Tho Toung Man who had Wandered
In by Mistake let himself down Incon
spicuously Into a sent In the last row.
It waa the rooms of the American Phi
losophical Society, Independence Square
He had seen little groups of men going
In ever and anon nnd ho thought per
haps there was an interesting exhibition
Inside which he ought not to miss
There was. The scientific brains of the
world seemed to have gathered together
there for the cxpross tyirpose of demon
strating the fact that 11 meeting could be
conducted In the English language which
wns perfectly unintelligible to a man
with a proud A.B. degree from his alma
mater.
Savants with beetling brows and sa
vnnts with bulging domes that seemed
nigh ready to burst from the erudition
which had been crammed Into them sat
round and drank In thirstily the pearls
of wisdom which dropped from the lips
of their learned confreres.
A shy lltle lndlvlduat of the bookkeeper
type, who looked as though a 10-mlle
sprint In God's free country might have
dono wonders for him, expounded a bit
doprecntlngly, as though he himself were
a little ashamed of knowing so much.
His subject was linear Integral equations
In general analysts. The theory, he said,
embraced by specialization the regular
cases of various classical instances.
PLAIN AS A PIKESTAFF.
Fearing that he had not made himself
quite clear to those assembled he hopped,
with bird-like motions, over to a black
board nnd before one could say Jack
Robinson made a aeries of hieroglyphics
resembling the curly excrescences thrown
oft by a planing machine.
"And now, gentlemen," ho concluded
modestly. "I'm sure It's perfectly obvious
to you all.'
He retired amid a burst of applause, as
the newspapers would say.
The Man who had Wandered In by MIs
tako did a mental somersault. He took
his gray matter way up Into the top of
the tent and made It slide down a greased
wire. He held Ids head and thought of
all the equations he had ever heard of,
but beforo he could figure It out a hush
had descended upon the room.
A bearded gentleman with a Teutonic
ace, whose blue eyes twinkled ns though
he might have been real human, had
taken the platform. It was his Intention,
he explained, to give a direct solution of
an equation with "analytic kornel."
An old wiseacre with a face like pareh
mtnt smacked his lips In anticipation. Ho
hitched his chair forward tor the rare
treat and cupped his right ear with his
hand so aa not to miss anything.
The gentleman with the Van Dyke was
brief and to the point. What he said,
however, could never bo set up even by
the most expert llnotyper. But tho phi
losophers smiled at tho direct and simple
way In which he presented his problem.
It was plain to see they did not consider
him the technlclst of the party.
He was not going to run the risk of be
ing misunderstood, however, and so, not
withstanding the tolerant smiles of his
brother scientists, he unfurled a cabalistic
dlngram, so that the gentlemen of the
press might also understand.
These Ignorant persons, realizing the
Jolie was on them, masked their chortles
uni'cr a knowing look and wrote surrep
titious comments to each other. In which
they hurled Invectives on the heads of
unfeeling editors who assigned them to
such "stories."
HOT SHOT FOR GERMAN COPY-CAT.
Now u fiery looking professor with a
grim line of determination around his
mouth took the platform. In his hand he
carried a sheaf cf papers which he began
to read Immediately.
The Man Who Had Wandered In by
Mistake gleaned that the speaker's spe
cialty wns playing with molecules, atoms
and other such minutiae. But every time
he was careless enough to drop one. It
seems, a rival In Germany named Khrn
dorff (which may or may not be the way
to spell It) wai Jarred.
Finally, In sheer desperation this copy
cat Ehrndorff began dropping molecules
and atoms himself, which was really more
than the gentleman on the platform could
put up with, all things considered. The
result was he Just had to write this
paper.
"And so, gentlemen," ho concluded ag
gressively, "I see that It Is perfectly plain
to you all by this time that there can be
no such thing as, a subelectron."
Outside a gentle dove cooed throatlly to
lis mate In the eaves of the Hall. The
voices of little children plajlng In the
square rose shrilly In tho clear spring alf.
The Man who had Wandered In by Mis
take slunk out like ft cur who had found
himself In a kennel with blue-ribbon prize
winners. He had tho feeling of having
rend Getrtrude Stein's "Tender Buttons"
on the morning after a night with the
boys. As he descended the stairs these
words came wafting down after him!
"These conditions suggest the possibil
ity that hybrids may at times continue
Indefinitely as heterozyous species through
a failure to produce homozygous zygotes
or through the mortality of zygotes hav
ing homozygous constitutions."
A passing citizen caught htm as he fell.
At the Pennsylvania the doctors declare
that In time he may recover, but mean
time they have ordered a trip out of
town and complete cessation from all
brain work.
