FIVE YEARTHARD WORK
Interesting Anniversary at the Jack
' son Street baptist Church.
JUDGE EDWARDS ON MUSIC
Rev. Dr. Hughes Congratulated by Many
Prominent Clllzcns on the Fifth Anni
versary of Ills Pastorate of the
' Church-Interesting Services.
An Important event in the history of
the Jackson Street Baptist church of
the West Side was celebrated yester
day. It was the fifth anniversary of
the pastorate of Itev. D. C. Hughes,
D. D.
' The morning services were largely at
tended, and the pastor delivered an
Interesting1 address and gave a brief
retrospect of the church work .during
the five years of his charge. Similar
addresses were made by Deacons John
Davles, William Jenkins, Richard
Nicholls and Ebenezer Griffiths, each
one testifying to the great increase in
the spiritual and temporal welfare of
the church during the pastorate of Mr.
Hughes.
At 2 p. m. the afternoon session was
held, when William B. Owen gave a
retrospect of Sunday school work since
1871. W. O. Jenkins also gave an Inter
esting speech upon Sunday school work,
which was attentively listened to by the
scholars.
, The spacious edifice was crowded at
the evening meeting, when several
prominent citizens were present. Rev.
T. J. Collins opened the meeting1 by
prayer, after which Rev. Warren G.
Partridge made a stirring address in
which he heartily congratulated the
church and pastor upon the noble work
of the past five years. He could con
scientiously congratulate the church
upon having the Rev. Dr. Hughes as Its
teacher and when he read the reports
of the baptisms .and. saw the large con
gregation before him, he could not but
rejoice In the magnificent growth and
building of the kingdom in their mlust.
Congratulations of Fellow Baptists.
He came to convey to them the con
gratulatons of Penn Avenue church as
well as his own, as an individual and a
pastor, and to assure them of their con
tinual help from his church in their
good work, whether by purse, good ad
vice, in the pulpit or in the choir. He
hoped that there were many more anni
versaries which he would be able to
participate In with Dr. Hughes as their
pastor, and from what he saw tnat
night and the manner In which they
appreciated the work of their pastor,
he thought that to be a pastor was not
the most undesirable thing in the
world. Outside the domestic circle
there should be no relation more up
lifting and more eternal than that be
tween pastor and people. He wished
them a future more glorious than the
past, and that God should shower His
blessings upon them was" his only de
sire and prayer.
Judge Hand made an eloquent speech
In which he said that for several rea
sons he was pleased to be present. He
was much attached to their pastor and
had faith In the work of the people of
the church. He had been associated
with the pastor for some time and he
knew that he was sound In the faith,
and sound enough to keep his people
from all temptations and to keep them
fast to the rock of truth.
A Great Biblical Scholar. .
Dr. Hughes, the speaker said, was a
great Biblical scholar and stands on a
pulpit the foundations of which are on
the great rock of truth. He was cour
teous and affable, and was admired by
all who knew the history of their
church. .Judge Hand also made very
pleasing allusions to the similarity be
tween the faiths of the Baptist and
Presbyterian bodies, both of which he
said had done so much blessed work in
this country In civil and religious liber
ty. He had glanced over their creed
and there was nothing in it but what
he could Indorse, although It was said
that If a little water was good the more
the better. In concluding he said:
"You are engaged In a grand work for
the church of Christ, for society and
the common country; and In this con
flict against evil, as we labor, fight and
pray, shoulder to shoulder, no one will
say to which denomination we belong
except to one kingdom, one Head In
Christ, one Lord Jesus Christ, to whom
alone we bow, and by whose name all
others pale. I congratulate you on the
great success of your five years work
and pray God to bless you in the fu
ture." Luther Keller said he was present to
testify to the respect and esteem he
entertained for pastor as well as
church. He could well appreciate the
services of the evening as he knew well
the anxiety and burden which the pas
tor had borne for five years and the
sacrifices which had been made.'whlch
proved that they had been working In
unison, and he was positive that he
could prophecy that the debt on their
church would soon be a matter of the
past and that God would reward them
for their noble efforts in His great
cause. He was more than grateful for
the opportunity to congratulate them
all that evening upon the auspicious
occasion which they had met to cele
brate. . .'.
Mr. .McLave also congratulated the
congregation on the progress of church
work during the pastorate of Mr.
Hughes, and was followed by Dr. Dean,
who referred to the many Instances of
Dr. Hughes' valuable work in further
ing the work of religious Institutions
generally.
' Remarks of Judge Edwards.
Judge Edwards said: "Your chair
man has Introduced me with very flat
tering remarks that bring a blush to
my face, but It was not necessary, as
I am among people with whom I have
lived for the past thirty years and have
seen every day, two-thirds of those be
fore me now: I have seen their sor
rows and troubles, and I well know
how they have borno the brunt of the

blood. Your blood
needs to be enriched
and vitalized. For
this there's nothing In
the world so thor

io which builds up noeded flesh and strength.
In every blood -taint or disorder, if it
doesn't benefit or cure, you have your
money back.
' Dr. B. V. Pkbcb: Dear Sir 1 will say
that I used the "Medlotil Discovery" for my
little girt, and she la entirely well, I cannot
praise your medlolnes too highly. You may

v
battle during the past five years and
the sacrifices you have been compelled
to make to carry out your obligations
to reduce the debt on your splendid
church. Your sacrifioes and effort
have been truly heroic, but my advice
to you is, 'don't worry,' the debt still
unpaid will melt away like the snow be
fore the warm rays of the sun.
"While I have been here tonight and
heard your singing it has made me
think of the old-fashioned congrega
tional singing. Let us consider what
the constitutional elements pf your
church are; where do they come from,
and who are they; the mother, church
Is on South Main avenue, where a large
congregation worship in the language
so dear to many of us; this Is an off
shoot of that church, and while in the
transition state, worshiping God and
singing His praises in another lan
guage and while possessing the idioms
and spirit of the old mother language,
do not forget the fervor and zeal of the
mother tongue. While the young men
are forgetting the language of their
forefathers, I do not condemn them,
but my point is that in worshipping in
the English tongue they do not get the
zeal, the enthusiasm, or the hwyl of
the old Welsh language.
IFcrvor of the Welsh People.
"I have recently read one of Christ
mas Evans' sermons in which Is seen
strongly the religious Instinct and fer
vor of the Welsh people, and in saying
to you In this transitory state, 'don't
forget the spirit of religious instinct of
the Welsh, I mean the quartettes that
we have in churches. Don't make a
concert room of the church.' I care not
how good the nlto, soprano, tenor or
bass may be, I say let all the congrega
tion sing In. the. good old-fashioned
stylo; the time will come when all quar
tettes will be abolished In churches.
It was a good way to deaden religious
zeal and dampen religious ardor to have
the quartette singing In front and all
the congregation sitting down. My
father had no voice and always sang an
octave too low, but it made no differ
ence, it all came in to help the tune
along. It was Important that these off
shoots shall retain all, those things that
are excellent and as shown in history
have taken centuries to build up."
Judge Edwards, in oontlnulng, made
a strong plea for reunion of denomina
tions, and said; "What difference does
it make whether it be great amount of
water or little water, or an exact form
of creed, so long as we have the cardin
al points and essential principles recog
nized? I believe that there is a ten
dency to move in the direction when all
denominational differences will vanish
and be forgotten, and that the Chris
tian church will be united as one to de
fy the power of darkness. We have all
of us one grand purpose in View, to ele
vate mankind and insulsate morality
and all will contribute to the sum total
of civilizing the world. We should
think of the sorrow which Is continual
ly around us and forget our denomina
tional differences to unite In fighting
the evil and doing our best in this
world."
Dr. Hughes, who had made several
brief addresses durl.ng the evening,
thanked the ppeakers in fellcltious
terms and tendered them also the grate
ful feelings of the church for their sub
stantial help of the past and warmly
commended the grand Idea of reunion
so well advocated by Judge Edwards.
IX LOCAL THEATERS.
Tonight Joseph .Murphy will produce
his ever popular "Kerry Gow" at the
Frothlngham. The advance sale of
seats ensures a large house. The New
ark Times savs of Mr. Murphy: "That
perennial favorite among Irish dramas,
'The Kerry Gow,' was presented at
Miner's theater last night by Joseph
Murphy and his company. The audi
ence enjoyed the acting of the star as
Dun O'Hara, the blacksmith; laughed
at his embarrassment in the interview
with his sweetheart's father; applauded
his songs, and was. well pleased with
the scene in which the blacksmith and
his helper work at their forgo, finish a
horseshoe and shoe a horse. Mr. Mur
phy's acting retains all the merit which
has Won him such pronounced and en
during success among Irish comedians.
Rebecca Warren is a pleasing Nora,
and John W. Burton does excellent
work as Patrick Drew, while the other
members of the cast are generally cap
able." Tomorrow night Mr. Murphy
will be see In "Shaun Rhue."
Edward Harrlgan and his New York
company will produce "Rellly and the
400" at the Academy of Music tomor
row night and "Cordelia's Aspirations"
Wednesday night. It has been conceded
that "Rellly and the 400" is tho most
unique comedy Mr. Harrlgan ever
wrote. This fact is emphasized by the
fact that It had a run In New York first
of over four hundred nights, since which
It has been repeatedly revived to satisfy
the demand of the Harrlgan theater pat
rons. In "Rellly and the 400" the tunes
are perfectly charming, and yet withal
as true to the author's theme as the
words. One song especially, "Maggie
Murphy's Home," captured the entire
country for a season and made the
fortune of the clever little girl who sang
It. This little actress, by-the-by, is still
a member of the organization. We re
fer to Emma Pollock, who a short time
ago was simply one of the rank and file.
II II II
Mrs. Langtry and her company will
open their American engagement nt the
Frothlngham Wednesday night In "A
Wife's Peril."
. II II M
"McFadden's Elopetnent," which will
be presented at the Academy of Music
on Thursday, is the promising title of a
new farce-comedy with which Mana
gers Davis and Keogh have planned
to add to the gaiety of nations. It is
by Frank Dumont, whose hand Is an
old and trained one in the construction
of hilarious situations and ludicrous
speeches. With John Kernell, the force
ful and poular Irish comedian, as Mc
Fadden, a most laughable entertain
ment Is asBurred. But the company
has other towers of strength besides
Mr. Kernell. Among them are Dan
Waldron, Phil Peters, Nettie Peters,
Beatrice Norman and Tlllle Barnum,
all clever entertainers who have made
pronounced hits.
u . J' II II
Herbert Cawthorn, America's repre
sentative Irish comedian, will be at the
Frothlngham Thursday night with his
brand new piece, "A Cork Man," and Ills
up-to-date company. Mr. Cawthorn will
be remembered by the fun loving pat
rons of the theater for his clever work
In his old piece, the "Little Nugget,"
which he has played for the past seven
years. Leola Bell, the charming; little
soubrette, supports Mr. Cawthorn, and
Stella May, Georglen Emery, Rena
Trumbell, Susie Forrester, George Gale,
Eric Pollock; Frank Manning, Harry
Collins, William Cake, W. W. Newcom
mer and William Schott make up the
strongest comedy company on the road.
II II II
For the first three days of the week
Manager Davis has secured the cele
brated Holmes-Forreste combination In
the well known comedy-drama, "The
Counterfeiters.' Miss Marcella For.
reste will undertake the leading; part
and her great popularity with the pn
lip Is sufficient proof of ber great abllif
and her standing In, the theatrical
world. "The Counterfeiters" will draw
a good house and Manager Davis will
be repaid for securing such an excellent
company.
Charles H. Sehndt, do you believe In
libelling, lying about and slandering those
who oppose you In politics? If not, Why
not say so like a man?
CHARLES IIEUSTER.
Candidate for Recorder of Deeds A Brief
Sketch of His Life.
The accompanying ,cut is that of
Charles Heuster, the Republican nomi
nee for recorder of deeds in the pending
election.
Mr. Heuster was born In Germany
March 31, 1854. In the year 1871 he came
to the city of Scranton, and looked
around for a place where he could earn
his dally bread. He began his work In
the foundry of the Delaware, Lacka
wanna and Western Railroad company.
With the perseverance characteristic
CHARLES HUESTER.
of his people, here he continued for
seventeen years, learning the trade and
working with diligence at It until with
in five j'ears ago.
Seeing little prospects of advance
ment in the foundry, Mr. Heuster looked
around for an opening that would give
his activity greater scope. He was not
long before deciding to enter business,
and soon he opened up on the South
Side of Scranton, where he had resided
since he came to the city. His success
has confirmed his choice, and the gen
tlemanly ways and kind heartedness of
Charles Heuster has made him a gen
eral favorite among the hundreds who
tranact business with him.
As soon as Mr. Heuster arrived at the
age of citizenship, he cast his influence
on the side of the Republican party.
The fire department also attracted the
young man, and in the year 1874 he
Joined the fire-boys and has ever since
been one of the faithful few, who are
ever ready to obey the alarm call of fire
at any time during the day or night.
As a fireman he has taken active part
In organizing and developing the force,
and has always placed his experience
and knowledge at the service of others
when new companies were needed in
the growing South Side of Scranton.
This is the first attempt at securing
an office, although he has been a con
sistent Republican through the years,
and the probabilities are that he will be
securely seated in the recorder's office
next term.

GLOOMY EUROPEAN OUTLOOK
Death of the Ameer of Afghanistan-Ex-
Embassador Bayard and English Customs-Narrow
Escape of the Future
King of England.
London, Oct. 20.
The field of politics Just now offers
some hard problems for solution. What
will happen In Europe if the Czar dies?
What will follow if the reported death
of the Ameer of Afganlstan be true?
and how long will the present govern
ment be able to retain office under
their present difficulties. For thirteen
years the Czar has withstood the dan
ger and responsibility of his position,
but he has overtaxed his powers and
from all accounts his iron constitution
has given away. The Czar has always
had a strong moral sense and has been
cnosclentlously devoted to the people
he rules, his foreign policy has been
sound and he has striven to avoid Irrita
tion to his neighbors. But his lllneBS
betokens news of the gravest Import
and It Is no exaggeration to say that all
the Stock Exchanges in the world are
regarding the Emporer of Russia as the
greatest guarantor of peace of the pre
sent day. The Czar has always been a
man of peace, and possesses a deep
hatred of war. But the Sclavonic ten
dency leans towards combatlveness and
the average Russian is easily roused
and the feverish desire for hot headed
action and brutality Is of a passion
ate nature. Should this peace loving
Emperor pass awAy, difficulties may
arise, as what may be the personal char
acter of a new Czar can only be gather
ed after experience. Uneasy is the head
that wears the Russian crown and un
easy will remain the several Stock Ex
changes until something definite Is
known of the Czar's malady and of the
tendency of the Emperor of all the Rus
slas that will follow him. The Queen
and the Princess of Wales are both
greatly distressed at the illness of their
kinsman, whom they both regard as a
perfect model of what a husband and a
father should be.
If the news that reaches us from
Simla be true then the situation In
Afghanistan is a grave one, especially
for the Europeans at present In the
country. Afghanistan, although called
by nice people a kingdom, Is nothing
more or less that a series of small demo
cracies with the Ameer as dictator. The
Ameer dead and his son and many
others will be pulling each others royal
(and prominent) noses over the right to
the throne. There are five English
ladles and several gentlemen at Cabul
and Lord Roberts' advise is "Get away
with all speed, for such Is the undying
hatred of the Mahommedan for the
Christian that their lives will not be
worth a snap of the fingers, and It Is
but the personal Influence of Abdurrah
man that had held their passions in
check." These English people advisers
and offiolals are 190 miles from Pesha-
wur and if the Ameer is dead It Is more
than probable that they will never
reach there.
Among other events during the last
week there has been a pussy-cat show
at the Crystal Palace, and standing
among them one Is tempted to alter the
sentence uttered by the old parrot at a
bird exhibition "Oh cocky! what a d d
lot of parrots!" The writer of these
notes has up to the pesent imagined
that the majority of feline creation
assembled of an evening beneath his
lattice window (fourth floor back)
where they nightly repeat their too well
known uprour I mean opera! But he
Is wrong! for at the Paluce there are
'Cats to the right of one, cats to the
left of one, clawing and purring," cats
with talis and cats without, cats of all
colorB and of varied beauty. The fee
for entry is three shilling six pence to
the ordinary Individual and one shilling
six pence to the. "down-trodden" work
ing man, and 80 gallons of milk and
mountains of cat-meat are in dally re
quirement. The pussies look very com-
fortuble and draw large and apprecia
tive audiences.
Sir John Astley, whose death we re
corded last week, was laid to rest on
Tuesday, the sixteenth. At a memorial
service held In the Royal Military
Chapel at Wellington Barracks a large
and aristocratic gathering assembled
to pay their last respects to the much
loved "Mute." The Prince Of Wales and
the Duke of Cambridge were both rep
resented, and the Duke of Teek attend
ed personally, and carls, dukes, lords
and ladles were mingled with the fine
old sportsman's comrades and the many
members of his old regiment present.
The Duko of York and his Duchess
had a narrow escape during their re
cent visit to Leeds. A seml-idlot In the
person of a poorly dressed unfortunate
man sprang upon the steps of the car
riage. The man was 'quickly seized,
however, and a repetition of the hor
rible "Carnot" tragedy was averted.
The Duke showed great presence of
mind and the young DucheBg kept her
composure wonderfully. She has good
blood In her veins that runs down to
some of the finest old Hungarian nobll
Ity. It would have been a sad day for
England If either of the very popular
couple, had been fatally injured, and It
behooves those In authority to take
greater precautions In the future.
Mr. Bayard, the late United States
Ambassador to England has been say
Ing all sorts of pretty things about Eng
land. It Is very nice to read of these
compliments and undoubtedly Mr. Bay
ard was a great favorite In the great
little island, but oh! Mr. B. you must
have hod your lot cast upon tho most
pleasant places at the most pleasant of
times. The respect for the law In Eng'
land struck Mr. Bayard partlcululy
and he is quite right a policeman
seldom llltreats a man here, and the
way a constable can stand quietly
amidst the surging traffic and stem the
tide by raising his arm speaks volumes
for their power and the manner In
which It Is respected. Mr. B. never
heard an oath! dear, dear, we are not
all so lucky, he could never have trav
elled on an omtnbus by the side of an
ordinarily healthy driver, he cannot
have been within miles of a .billiard
room or the East End.- Oh, yes! there
Is plenty of swearing, especially
amongst our young men. Then Mr. B,
never heard a story at an entertain
ment or in private that could raise a
blush! H'm, Mr. Bayard can never have
attended a smoking concert, and many
a London theatrical manager will smile
when he1 reads Mr. B.'s kind words,
However, we are all glad the American
Ambassador can conscientiously speak
well of his treatment here for It speaks
well for both countries and cannot fall
to draw us closer together.
Tho- four principal actors In the Cut
lass case reported last week, are all of
them more or less "better known than
respected" men. One of the prosecutors
Arthur Cockburn, Is a boxing man and
a fast character; his companion, Savllle,
Is a bookmaker, and one of the defend
ants, Taylor, Is well known at the card
tables. Some unsavory details are sure
to bei elicited by the barristers engaged
In the case.
Twang, the tambos. striking the lyre.
Hallelujah! Which, being interpreted,
means that Miss Lucy Booth, a daugh
ter of the one and only Booth of the
Hebrewlc feature and pointed beard, he
who controls the excitable members of
the Salvation army, has been Joined in
wedlock to another party of the troupe.
Her name is now Mrs. Emanuel Hell,
a strangely mixed cognomen for a Sal
vation lassie. The vast audience bowed,
yelled and squirmed In the most approv
ed manner. Tho word "obey" was left
out of the exhortation, and pa and
others advised the couple to live con
tinually in Salvation Barracks, after
which the real live Indians nearly broke
In tho heads of their precious tom
toms. The young couple, will, It Is to
be devoutly hoped, enjoy their resi
dence; personally the writer saw and
heard enough at the ceremony to keep
him quite five miles away for the same
number of years.
There is no reason to doubt that Lord
Dunraven has decided to again send a
challenge to America and have another
shot at the cup. He has not yet form
ally done so. The new yacht will be as
nearly as possible the same size as the
Valkyrie. This Is good news for sports
men on both sides of the Atlantic.
A very pathetic Incident occurred in
one of our police courts the other day.
Quite lately all the private gates that
guarded various noblemen'B property In
London were removed by order of the
County council. Each of these "gates"
were kept by a keeper, and the one in
Eaton square was guarded by an old
fellow that had watched Jealously over
It for many yeai'B. When the gate was
removed the poor old chap's heart was
broken and his living was gone! an A so
he went to the workhouse, but when
ever he has got out he has wended his
way sadly to the old spot and many who
recognized the old man gave him a
gratuity. For this he made his appear
ance before Mr. DeRutzen, who, of
course, only advised the old man to
keep away; "brooding over lost happi
ness only increases present misfor
tune," said the magistrate kindly. The
old man said ho was pretty happy
where he was, "But lor! sir, it alnt like
keeping a gate."
What's In a name? Well, a good denl
sometimes. An orchid with the name of
Cattleya Massalana has Just fetched 100
guineas under the hammer. Others
bearing the'mystlc first name "Cattleya
something or other" fetched 75 guineas,
73 and 50. Joey Chamberlain was not
one of the purchasers.
Mr. Hadyn Coffin, one of our premier
baritones, has been seeking to Introduce
to London's notice several American
composers. The venture has proved a
conspicuous success. Among the com
posers' names that figured on the pro
gramme were those of Mr. Dudley
Buck, Mr. Chadwick and Mr. DeKoren.
Mr. Coffin was assisted by Miss Lillian
Russell, Miss Susanne Lonard and Miss
Hattie J. Leonard.
At last the zoetrope has found its way
over to London, and one and all are
amused at Mr. Edison's latest novelty,
and one and all are riveting their eyes
to the little opera gloss arrangements
and gazing at the barber shaving, the
wrestling match and the cock fight.'Mr.
Magulre (sounds like a genuine New
