today over th lease of tho old Henry
Junes residence, nt 13 Mount Vernon
place, to "Billy" Sunday nml his party
of 11 for the comlliK enmpalRii.
When It Is considered that Mount Ver
non plnce Is the tcttcat of the crenm of

light "Ullly" Is to pay $200 n month rout, but
It Is said the customary pi Ice la $600, and
thnt the committees In olmiKO of tho
campaign obtained the lodurtlon. The
Sunday followers consider themselves
fortunate, as the house has largo, old
fashioned npailments, many bcdiooms
and Is sumptuously furnished.
If any doubt exists as to tho desirability
of the location ono has but to look around.
The fashionable Washington Apartments,
where Joseph WIIon, In other of tho
President, lives, stand on tho noithwcst
corner of North Chnrlcs street and Mount
Jt Vernon place.
The Baltimore and Unlvcislty Clubs arc
one block north, ami n few doois ftntlicr
on stands tho lcsldenco of Mayor Pics
ton. Tho palntlal home of Theodore Slnr
I burg, former Ambassador to Belgium, Is
just across the street from "Blllj's' new
quarters.
Dr. Henry Barton Jacobs, one of the so
cial leadeis of the city, lives a few doors
west of whcic "Blll" will reside, and
the residence of Alexander Brown, tho
banker and financier. Is Just aciuss the
way, In Cathertial street. Clustoilng In
the vicinity nto tho homes of l-'rniik B.

and the Mcl'addcns In Philadelphia.
Ill the society clubs and in escluMvc
circles "Blll.v" Is nlmost the solo subject
of convcisatlon. Over tho teacups at the
Baltlmoro Count! y Club and the Blkrldgo
Kennels, nt the debutante dances, and
even. It Is rumored, nt the Bachelors'
Cotillon tho Hundnyites are talked of ami
dilated upon. People whose knowledge
of b.iU-plnyer.s Is limited to what can bo
seen from boxes In the Grandstand nio
suddenly taking a gloat Interest In the
. national game. Just what kind of a per

"Oh! I am Just wild to meet Mr. Sun

refused to allow her namo to be used.
-"Can he fox-trot well'.' Ho w'lll have Mich

"We will have him ovci at the Balti

ATLANTIC C1TV, Jan. 31.-Wlth two
weeks lomalnliig of the Stough cnmpalgn
to evangellzo Atlantic City, tho normally
peaceful woll-oidered shore resort's pop
ulation Is being divided Into two camps.
Thliteen of tho 2) odd churches, probably
half of the hotel men nnd n host of trall
hlttors are nriajed against Mayor Wil
liam Illddle and what ho stands for, and
determined to lotlie him from public life.
Thou-Miids of others, who discount the
evangelist's allegations of corruption, aro
rallying to tho Mayors cause.
Last night, while Stough was berating
Itlddlo bcfoio a tvplcal tabernacle crowd,
depleting 1,1m. to tho accompaniment of
hlstcn, as the exponent of everything that
Is vicious, tho Maor's picture was flashed
upon the serei'ii of a movlng-plcturc
theatie, crowded to tho doors. Instantly
the audience bur't Into applause. The
cheering lasted soxeial minutes.
Tho city 4od.iv Is llngitig with Slough's
chargo that a man whoso shout of "hur
ah for Itlddlo" broke up his afternoon
mooting, sending sovcr.il thousand men
lushing for tho exits when he was beg
ging them to come forward, was scut to
tho tabernacle for tho "dastardly, dia
bolical and Infernal" purpose of bteaklng
up the meeting. The police made no at
tempt lo arrest the offender.
I'aduro on the part of Iilrcctor of Pub
lic Safety Barllett to nriest the disturber
toduv, Stough said, would be a confession
that the polke know of the plot and were
a fiaity to It. Thousands of church inem
beis believe this to bo tine and regard
It as their duty to end what tho evangell
lut teimed a "miserable, llc and vicious
leglnie." Owners of three ISo.tnlv.alk ho
tels without bais have given S1S01 to make
up the campaign budget.
Yesteiil.iv't, total of tt nil hitters was
small. Stough worked dospciatoly to ob
tain converts at his evening sevvlee, hut
the iospoii.se was halting. Itlddlo support
ci.h derlnrn be has antagonized the city
bv his i-cn.'.Uloiml methods. The size of
the ciowd that goes to Ti niton Wednes
day to plead for local option will be the
test of the success, or failuie ot tho cam
paign, they assert.
TltKN-TOK, N. .1., Jan. 31 -The total
"Billy" Sunday Irall-hlttcrs for vestcrdav
reached 700. as 200 were converted nt tho
sen Ice last nlnht. "Ma" Siinda was tho
onlv woman present In the crowded tnber
Jiaole. She came, evidently, to see that
her husband did not overtax himself, ns
for the past few days lie had been ex
tremely tiled
Sunday i-altl that In politics he wns an

nrdvllln and Oiovevllle
As In the nftcirooti yestorrinv, Sunday
asked the ciowil bow many would prom
ise to vote the saloon out of business If
they got the opportunity, and nil ocept
2m0' "f "lp entire nudlenco arose
The "Booze" sermon Is the favorite of
thi evangelist, and he goes to It with his
soul. Ho sered nutlio, for the second
time since ho 1ms been here, that tho
I.ogMature will hear ftom him. He said
that the liquor people of three States
blame hltn for the present diyness of
thoio States, West Virginia, Iowa and
Colorado, and he Is going to uso all his
strength to make New Jeisey dry.
He seized a large American flag and,
waving It from the top of the pulpit, ho
asked nil of those who would enlist be.
hind tho banner of God nnd country to
como forward. At the afternoon service
more than 500 men hit tho trail.
He called 10 boys to the platform and
said thnt every victim of liquor wns once
as puro as tho boys.
"I am the sworn enemy of the liquor
trnlllc," snld Sundny. "I ask no quarter
nor do I give any. When I die I think I
will ask my wife to skin me, tnn my hide
and mnko It Into drumheads so that men
can walk the streets and to the tom-tom-of
the drums yell, 'Billy Sundny still lives
nnd gives to tho liquor Unfile the best
run for their money they have over had!'
'Tho I-cRMatiiio will hear from us
within the next few dny.s, and they must
give tho people n chance to settle this
question."
He said thnt as soon ns nil church mem
bers, Catholic and Protestant, voted
against tho saloon that day It would
cease to oxlst.

WILMINGTON. Jan. SI -Evangelist
I.von nnd his wife shntteied two records
during his services nt the tabernacle nnd
In city churches i,osterday, winning 194
converts Collections nmounted to
$17tt!0, the Intgest offeilng of a single
dav since his cnmpalgn opened here. Ih
all 2030 hac professed concrslon, 218,900
persons have attended his meetings nnd
J9132.S7 has been given In cash.
It Is estlmnted that nbout 19,000 persons
attended the tabernacle services of yes
terday, 50M nt the moinlng service, 6000
men the afternoon nnd S000 nt the evening
service. About 1M0 women were present
for Mrs. Lyon's nddress nt tho West
Church.
At the morning service the evangelist
told of his conversion from Unltarlanlsm
to Christianity. At tho men's meeting In
the afternoon he renewed his bitter as
sault on "booze" In Wilmington, but nlso
gave his opinion of the European war.
"Selfishness nlono Is the cnuse of this
grent European conflict," ho snld "And
what this nation today needs Is not so
much fortification, but moro purification.
Purify nnd make godly the minds of peo
plo nnd the bitterness and onvy that In
spire war will be nonexistent.
"A saloon la the last place to look for
lrtuo nnd tho first place to look for
vice," ho continued. "Saloons aro the
hotbeds of anarchy I saw In one of
your papers tho other day that an appli
cation wns mndo for a saloon In a certain
locality because It was a necessity.
"Men. a saloon la no moro a necessity
to a community than a cancer Is to the
face of a woman to mnko her beautiful.
DEFINES A TltAITOn.
"The man who votes to llcenso a saloon
Is lust ns much a traitor to his community
ns Benedict Arnold wns to America "
Doctor Lyon nttneked the practice of
lauding deceased persons indiscriminately
at funerals even though their lives had
been filled with crime.
"If you are going to llvo like tho devil,
why don't you die like tho devil, and go to
hell with tho devil," he yelled nt his

our funerals," lio added, "wo would not
need ro many revivals nnd there would
be moro souls snved. Don't think because
you are going to have n big display at
your funeral that you aro sure of a placo
In heaven, because, you may hot be there."
In attacking tho half-and-half Chris
tians, he remarked'
"You with your wealth, your life of
ease, your political honors, your love for
beer or wine, your fondness for the thea
tre, your card table and your tlnnco lloor,
balls and worldly society, sit back with
that sickly, self-satisfied look when the
Invltntlonn nre given and refuse to accept
tho wondrous gift of Ralvntlon You nre
lost. The great gulf for you Is fixed, and
you will not pass over It until you come
out definitely on the Lord's side.
"Will man and wife be separated In
eternity? Most nssuredly they will bo
separated," he said. "In fact, they are
separated hero on earth, and not by di
vorce nt that Picture a godly man with
n wife who loves the dancing master, tho
poker game, the clgarctto habit nnd tho
wine In proferonco to Jesus Christ, nnd
on the other hand picture the godly wlfo
who Is married to a man who craves
for the sensations of tho theatre, In seeing'
some vile actress, half dressed or half
undressed, performing In scjme cheap
vaudeville theatre, or who can handle a
pack of cards with far more skill than he
can open a Illblo In preference to a
Christian life."
"What must a man feel like when he
has a wife who spends nil she enn manage
to got possession of on her back to ap
pear dressed, or rather, undressed. Thcso
mnrrlcd couples aro separated on eath.
Cetalnly God will sepanto them here
after. Many n, husband should bo going
around on four legs Instead of two. They
llvo for their nppetltes for flesh, for
physical Indulgence, nnd hold lovo for
nothing else Many of tho matches of
today smell of the sulphur ohd not of
true divine unity."
After pleading from, tho running board
for several minutes, tho evangelist
stepped down to tho "trails" ami walked,
through tho audience, making1 a dramatic
circle around the audience, exhorting all
the while.
Today ho nnd Mrs, Lyon will visit

A big statement, but a true one, based on our knowledge, as manufacturers, of mate
rials, construction and costs.
The materials used in the building of this instrument are as good, and in some
cases better than the materials found in Player-Pianos that dealers sell for $600 and $700.
The construction is by experienced Piano workmen and under the personal
supervision of the manufacturer himself, backed by the experience of over a quarter of a
century's Piano making. )
The price is based on the actual cost of manufacturing, plus a legitimate profit;
there are no freight costs, jobbers' profits and dealers' profits that go to make higher
prices, but no greater value.
To earn a reputation for meritorious Piano building the manufacturer must give value and service unquestionable. The
reputation of Cunningham instruments can be appreciated to a greatf r extent when you realize that there are over 50,000 satis
fied Cunningham owners; or, to take the entire number of individual homes in Philadelphia (365,000), there would be a Cunning
ham instrument in about every seventh home.
You owe it to yourself, your family and your bank account to inspect these instruments. If
you have a used piano, we will take it as part payment, allowing you full value.
Easy terms; no interest or extra charges.
