the blissful stat of holding young

and the danger of mussing the creases

Editor Of The Tumi xr:
Dbak sut- seeking Information, i know
of no better source thau through your jour
nal, if not too muoh trouble, will you
at an early.date kiudly print in TltK Titni

What 1 wish to know is:
First- Is it necessary that the names of
parties obtaining license be published V
Second -Must notice of marriage be pub

A SUBSORIBSR.
If the tit irriug 9 license editor of The
TribUMI only knew which particular
subscriber of this paper's many thou
sands is the author of the above he
could hotter famish the desired infor
mation. It might be that Punch's ad
vice of "Don't" might be applicable to
Subscriber." The editor's ideas re
frding tiie questions asked are of the
opaque variety to much in vogue now
adays among newspaper men who are
compelled by the pleasures of their
occupation to labor from fourteen to
twenty-three aud a half hours a day.
However, with tho aid of the offlje boy,
be will do his best to enlighten "Sub
scriber.'' Fust question: "Is it necessary that
the natnea of parties obtaining license
be published?"
IT IS SOT NECESSARY.
Tim editor of Thk Tumi ne Joes not
thiuk it tiny more necessary to print
the names of all persons who pay 00
cents for a marriage license thau it is
to eat pie with the aid of a fork. Still
it's quite fashionable, and "Subscriber1
should follow the prevailing style re
gariiiug this matter. It should give a
deal of unalloyed pleasure to any
citizen to read in tho newspaper that
he has been gruuted a marriage lic-msj

any of the hustling young reporters of
a well regulated newspaper like thu

concerned.
UCEKBEOOOD FOR OKI COUNTY.
Tidrd question- "Is a license ob
tained in one county of this state good
wuywhere in Pennsylvania, or only in
the county where granted';'1
The editor regrets very much to state
t.. fcul seribar that if he gets a marriage
license in Lackawanna county lie must
patronlss the home ministers. aldermen,
or justices of the peace. This is in
keeping with the true Republican pol
icy of protecting local industries. Bnt
if "Subscriber" and the young lwlv
upon whom he calls every night are
petint persons, they can, by waiting
until Oct, I, 1805, secure a license at
tho Lackawanna court house and me
ander over to Wayne, Sturjuehantis,
Luaerne, or in fact any other county in
the state, where the marriage license
Will be found to work just us well as
here at home. But wn would advise
"Subscriber" not to wait, as the aver
age young lady is mighty fickle, and
she may at some near day or night -object
to the not altogether pleasant
odor of a celluloid collar, and want to
rend in twain their mutual agreement
of love, sweet love.
Fourth question: "Form of marriage
licenses?'
The &C&ANTON TftllitST. is sold for 3
cents a copy, whereas a mnrriage li
cense costs 60 cents. We a re afraid
that genial Clerk of the Courts Tliomns
would object if we ruined his marriage
licenes business. We have information
in great large wads and we aro always
:::- I to distribute it among our
fri"nds, bnt we are rVher shy on mar
ringe licenses. Mr. Thomas, though,
has a plentiful supply.nnd he is always
glad to give them away at the regula
tion price of SO cents.

a verdict of 6,167.49 was given in
favor of tho Rosenagles, but a new

Case was settlod for 14,000 In 1883
Attorney Palmer wrote to Mrs. Itosen

than president julge of this county,
held the money, subject to her order.
0'i Do. 17. 1883, sho came to this city
from New York and on that and th
following days had conferences with
Judge Hundley r bis office on Lacka

deduoted for counsel fees, aud as Mn
Rosetiaglo desired to invest the $3,000
remaining, she say S that the Judge of

SHE INVESTED HER MONEY.
According to Mrs. Rosenngh-'s story

prosperous business and displayed a
book showing her that he had a large
block of stock iu it aud that other
prominent citizjns of the city were
sl,o stockholders. He told her the
stock would pay six per cent, dividends,
and personally agreed to pay her that
amount. Ou this ahowiug she agreed
to take thirty shares of the stock at par,
and a certificate was accordingly made
Out for her. At that time she did not
know the works of tho Wyoming Man

mine in West Virginia.
On her stock she was paid by Judge
Haiidley three seuii-aunuai dividends of
if!i() each. Tbey w.re paid in Jnlv,
1884; January, 1885, and July, 1886.
o June, 1880, she received a copy ot
ths Star of Charleston, West Virginia,
which conveyed to her the unpleasant
Information that the Wyoming Manu
facturing company was insolvent and
that the coal works on the Kinawt
river were about to lie sold at commis
sioners' sale. She never re.iliz-d any
thing on the sfS, 000 stock she had in tho
company. Although sho demanded
that Judge ilandley nuke good the
amount sue hud lost in the company,
he refused to do it.

The company began operations in

to give two shares of stock for one to
new stockholders as an iiidiicvineut for

He allowed Mrs. Rrnenagle to elect
whether ahe would take thu two for one
stock or purchase a portion of his stock
at par and receive the guarantee of a
dividend. She took the stock at par,
as she wanted an assured income from
her investment. He felt that he could
safely guarantee tho dividend, as he

THREE MEETINGS IN ONE DAY
lieggiug on the streets of the city of
Scranton, or in any part of the city, is
to be stopped. Ill Associated chari
ties has taken up tho mutter in dead
earnest, and a test cn-e is to be made.
For years the city tins been infested
with a class who, although being not
in needy iliroumstBUCSS, instruct their
progeny to daily go out begging from
door to door, asking for and taking
everything conceivable, from a loaf Of
bread to a pair of shoes, a hut, a shawl,
a dress or a coat.
Even iu the city's most prosperous
condition the begad ng has been prac ticed
with profit, ami the mendicants
are not confined to any particular por
Hon of the city. CHrls, and even boys
ot tender years, aro sent out. and in
stead of Independence mid selfreliance,
they are taught to become hypocrites
and prevaricators
The public generally will rejoice Hint
an end is to be put to this disgraceful
practice, and il tho effort proves suc
cessful, as it undoubtedly will, it will
aid very materially in separating the
deserving from tho unworthy, and will
place the latter class where it properly
belongs, behind the bars of our penal
Institutions.
A 'I EST CASE.
A little girl, apparently under IS
years of age, is the first person to be
arrested, and a test cuBe Is to be made
of her. The little one, who is from the
West Side, was picked up on Lacka wanna
avenue yesterday. She gave
her name us Uumbrowsld and ad
mitted that she und her mother went
f i oiii door todoor hogging. The mother
herself is liable to prosecution for send
ing the chili) out in the deplorable coil
ditiou in which she was found.
She was in a pitiable condition when
found. Siie was illy clad and, judging
from her appearance, the water mains
ot the Scranton tins an 1 Water com
pany are not laid in tho vicinity of her
home.
The little one wan picked up by Mrs.
Pettigrew and taken to Colonel Rip
ple's office in the Third National bank.
An officr was sent for aud thu little
Waif was then taken to the city hall.
Eater in the day Mrs Dnggan applied
soap and water with 'good effect and
the child was then sent to the orphan
age, whets she will remain until Mayor
Oonusll'S return from New York, when
the hearing will take plat.
LAW IN THE CASE,
Tho'nrrest was made under U19 fol
lowing section o( a city ordinance:
"Person! found begglogin the streets
by policemen, shall be taken before the
mayor, and if found to b- proper subjects
for relief, the) are to b;j taken before the
directors of the poor. If found to be va
grants or impostors, to be dealt with by
the mayor according to law.''
Colonel Ripple, president of the As
sociated Charities, thus defined the
intentions of his organisation in tbS
premises to a TRIBUNE reporter last
evening:
"We aro acting in the cause of hu
manity. We want to put an end to
bogging, it is our desire to separata
those worthy of relief from tnose that
are not. To the former class we will
accord nil that the msana at our dis
posal will allow. The other class will
have to earn an honest livelihood or go
where they properly belong, behind

Prayer Meetings Held All Over the
Boroug.li - Mr. Gillam Preaches at
Each Service in tho Presbyterian
Church Sermon on Skepticism In
the Evening.
The revival meetings being conduct
ed by Kev. Ralph Qlflam, who assisted
U. ray Mills in his meetings at the
Adams Avenue tabernacle, at tho FMin
more Presbyterian church, aro attract
iug great interest.
Yesterdnv was a SpSOlsl day and
three services were held at the church.
Prayer meetings were held iu all sec
tions of the borough and were all large
ly attended. Mr. dillam preached
strong sermont at loth forenoon aud
afternoon sessions.
His subject last night was "Skopti
ism," aiid one of the largest uu lieucea
of the week greet d him. The spacious
audltorum was inaiiftioieiit to hold the
rowd, necessitating the op tiipg of the
largo doors leading to tho lecture room
Mr. uillamj text was, ''The Bon of
man bus come to savii that which was
lost."
''Then are hero tonight," Slid Mr.
Oillam, "many who came expecting to
hear mu slap at the skeptic; but I want
to talk to the so callo 1 moral man as
well as the skeptic. There is not one bit
of hatred in mv heart tonight because
everyone's belief is not the 8 line us my
own.
sin, NOT BKIPTft isu.
'I do not believe it is skepticism
that keeps a man from accepting Jesui
Christ as a Saviour, but it is sin. Get
sin nut of the heurl aud skepticism
Hies away. There are the honest aud
dishonest skeptic. Tho first is honest
in his skepticism and says very littie
about it, but the dishonest sk 'ptic is
forever tliunting his skepticism betore
the people anil In most cases he dors
not know what ho is talking about.
'T here lire men who are doubt -rs,
but they are tru. men beOSUSS they are
honest in their doubt. I do not believe
Christ can save a man against his own
will. No one can be saved who does
not surrender his will to tho L or I. The
dishonest skeptic cannot withstand
argument and if cornered will gen
erally escape by s lying mean things.
' llier are men beretonignt that are
honest in their skepticism; but I do not
believe that there are any here tonight
that will go out of the door a skeptic if
he prays to (r id for lignt. I ho honest
skeptic wants to believe but cannot,
because of the doubts in his heart
You cannot surrender your will to God
aud offer up prayer expecting to have
it. answered,"
The second part of Mr. Gillam stalk
was given to the moral man. He said:
''There is no tru mor il man outside of
Christianity. I beleive that Jeans
Christ cannot save a man who thinks
he is good euotiga."
BILL 18 ROT fOK MAN.
"Hell was never prepared for man
but for the devil and his angels and it
is a m ill's own fault if he goes there.
"There are two kinds of moral men
the one who lives a pure life but yet
is; not a Christian and the man who is
always talking about Ins morality
Tho latter claims he has always pai l
his debt- and treat' his neighbors hon-
stlv This he is continually flaunting
before hi3 fellow men und scornseverj-
tnine concerning the church. hat
snch men need is to take their places
before God as sinners and yield to liitn.
"1 would say to the pure moral man,
add to your already good life tbe hope
for the hereafter and give your heart
to God. Seek first the kingdom of
God mid his righteousness and all
else will bp added unto yon.
"To the man who knows he is a sin
ner 1 would say, listen to the text,
'The Son of (foil is como to seek and to
save that which was lost. ' AU a sin
ner must do is to take his place as oue
of the lost and he is saved.
'Jesns is not coming bnt. as the
text says, 'He is come.' He is seeking
the lost ones; not the ones already
saved. The devil is biding for your
