31EM0R1AL SERVICE.
Held In tho Dumnuio prcshytcriun Church
in Honor of the Lots John It. Smith-Address
by Ucv. J. W. Williams.
Special memorial services were held at
the Dunmore Presbyterian church yes
terday morning when a permon, full of
expression and tenderness, was deliv
ered by the pastor, ltcv. J. W. Williams,
relating to the lale John 13. Smith.
The reverend gentleman preached
from Job xix, 25. "For I know that my
P.edeemer liveth, and that he shall
stand at the latter day upon the earth."
He referred to the faith of Job as firm
trust In the religion of Clod in the time
of suffering and sorrow. Job's faith
was a personal faith and there were
times in the lives of all persons which
compelled us to acknowledge that the
tics which bind us to earthly thing!
me but slender, and when tho voice
of human sympathy sounds like mere
vanity and meaningless words, but no
such disappointments ever come to lilm
whose, faith is centered on the l'.ock of
Ages, and such were the feelings of
Job. Jt carried him safely through
every temptation, trial and suffering.
Job's faitll showed consistency amount
ing to knowledge, He did not say, "I
believe," but "I Know that my Re
deemer liveth."
Tliis faith triumphed over fear of
death. He believed death was near und
his wasted frame seemed to him as
ready for the grave as the grave was
ready for him. He know that "his
Redeemer lived and would stand at the
latter day upon the earth." Ho enjoyed
the thought of dying; he looked to his
death as a consummation of the highest
and suiblimest consolation. "In my
rlesh shall I see God" could we not all
say as we contemplate sue.li a brave and
heroic character, "Let me die the. death
of such a righteous man and let my last
end bi like tills, and uuth has no terror
for the one whose faith rests in his
Rt-.doemer. It becomes to siuch a mere
gateway into that glorious eternal,
where the weary ones are at rest und
the wicked cease from troubling.
"Life is the vestibule and death the
gateway to another, higher and hap
pier life beyond. I have selected this
text this morning for the reason that
these words of Scripture were amon
the last utterances of our departed
friend.
Reference to Mr. Smith.
The reverend gentleman then re
ferred to the many tuallties of the
late Mr. Smith, his living to a good old
age, a man of gnat understandings, a
man gifted with keen insight and nn
earnest spirit of perseverance, vigorous
Intellect and wonderful executive abil
ity and firmness of will.
As the result of the work of Mr.
Smith's life he mentioned that it was
manifested allithrounrh 'the valley and the
town of Dunmore especially was grea;
ly indebted to his generosity and benev
olence. He was a man of genius, yet
not eccentric, quick In perception, quick
interpreter of human nature and a
strong hater of dishonesty, outspoken
In denunciation of evil, a de.-iplncr of
shams, and a good judge of character.
Mr. Smith was always kind to the poor,
a grf at worker, and a large contributor
to his church. His relation to church
was as a consistent member and lie hud
stood firmly by his church from the
beginning. He was notably a man of
laige sympathy and a great Bible
reader.
Mr. Williams concluded his sermon
by relating sevtral impressive reminis
cences c.f .Mr. Smith's career and the
many thoughtful sayings during the
time of his nicknrss. Immediately be
fore his death. Mr. Smith was a true
believer in Immortality and the motto
of his life was "Trust .In God and Per
severance." God gently relieved him
from Mils life and then dear friends had
a yenrning desire to depart to be with
the Lord.
Other Addresses .Made.
Rev. P. II. Brooks, of Wllkes-Barre,
and Rev. II. Iliorns, of Scranton, deliv
ered grief addresses also, which were
brimful of pleasant memories of the
good deeds of Mr.. Smith. Special mu
sic was rendered, including the anthem,
"God Shall Wipe Away Their Tears
from Their Eyes." Mrs. George Du
Hols Dlmmick sang the solo " I Know
My Redeemer Ilvelh" (Messiah) and
"I Would Not Live Always."

Takes Exception to the Alleged Ex
posure of His Methods.
LETTER PROM CLAIR H. STEVENS
Statement Is Made by Baldwin that It Is
on Attempt at Blackmail-What
Mr. Stevens Hun to Say
iu Hcply.
A sensation, or rather two sensa
tions, happened at the Frothlngham
Suturday night. The dense crowd thut
occupied every seat were more inter
ested in what Mr. Baldwin termed "the
exposure of tmposltors" rather than in
the entertainment which had been re
peated each night during the week.
Mr. Baldwin spoke about Dr. Allan
Norton Leete, editor of the Sunday
News, nnd Clair II. Stevens. The former
was charged with having written an
article false and libelous purporting to
expose the methods of the Baldwins
and advertised to be published in the
Sunday News the day following (yester
day.) Stevens was accused of having
written a letter demanding $100 or the
methods of the Baldwins would be ex
posed. In his treatment of the two
men named Mr. Baldwin did not mince
words nor terms and his manner and
language sulllced to put his large audi
ence on the tiptoe of excitement.
The magician had promised during
the week to disclose on Saturday night
the means by wJilch he performed his
rope-tlelng tricks within the cabinet
Ho kept his word und the result con
vinced the spectators that what had
seemed uncanny and unnatural was
really acquired by dexterity and the
hardihood to endure severe pain. .
W. Baylor accompanied Mr. Baldwin
Into the cubinet and when the Interior
was exposed to view Mr. Baylor's head
was covered with a tin pail and tarn
bourines, the same as had happened to
others on previous evenings. Then in
full view of the audience the magician
with an effort withdrew his hands from
the rope which hiu'J seamed tight
enough to secure them.
Said It Caused Intense Pain.
He explained thut it caused him In
tense pain, but there was a knack In
doing it. Ho then gave a remarkable
exhibition of tieing and untieing knots,
and proved expert in making a four-in
hand knot with one hand in a little
over four seconds.
Mr. Baldwin then announced that,
according to advertisements in the city
papers, Dr. Leete would, on the day
following (yesterday,) expose the mind
reading accomplishments of Mrs. Bald
win. The advertisements stated that
the work was done by material and
mechanical means, and not by "second
sight" or mind reading.
A proof eheet of the article In ques
tion was produced and portions of it
read. Briefly, it said that the Baldwins
employ a. retinue of advance agents or
detectives who ascertain from local de
tectives what crimes have been com
mitted and what unusuul things have
happened recently In the city and vlcln
ity. Furthermore, the article stated
that numerous agents with magnify
ing glasses and kodaks ure nightly
scattered ubout among the audience to
ascertain a sufllclent number of the
questions asked.
The article alleged that the questions
were then communicated by the ugentu
to Mrs. Baldwin In her dressing room
and the interval between the time the
questions were written und Mrs. Bald
win appeared on the stage was so she
might have time to commit theansvvers
to memory.
The most startling part of the expose
was contained in the assertion that be
neath Mrs. Baldwin's chair was a trap
door, whore a confederate, scresned
from view by the fabric which covered
Mrs. Baldwin, prompted her when she
faltered.
Mr. Baldwin announced that If the
article was true the entertainment was
a hoax nnd the business would hi
ruined. If it was false then the writer
was an Impostor.
Ilo Offered Proof.
He then stated and proved toy the
stage carpenter that the nearest trap
door was fifteen feet distant from Mrs
Baldwin's chair, and offered $1,000 to
Dr. Leete If he would come forward and
prove tihecontrary. Instead of a carload
of people, he said his company consisted
of only 13 persons. He ridiculed the
magnifying glass and camera Idea and
presented arguments to support the as
sertion. Mr. Baldwin accepted the challenge
to ihave committeemen locuted on dif
ferent parts of the stage. In addition.
he consented to have any respectable
woman accompany Mrs. Baldwin to her
dressing room and remain with her
while she was being mesmerized and
until she appeared on the stage.
During his remarks he made frequent
nnd vindictive statements against the
author of uhe article.
He closed his address by reading a
letter signed Clair H. Stevens and de
manding $100 under penalty of an ex
posure. Mr. Baldwin denounced the
letter writer as a blackmailer deserving
Imprisonment, and stated that he
would at some time return to Scranton
and prosecute him. Clair H. Stevens
has an office at 420 Spruce street and Is
the manager of the Stevens Baking
Powder company. He boards at 027
Adams avenue.
No lady accompanied Mrs. Baldwin
to her dressing room, but a number of
committeemen distributed themselves
about the stage. A number of ques
Hons of the same character as on previ
ous evenings were answered.
Tho Baldwins will return to this city
In March.
Stevens Gives Ills Version.
A Tribune reporter paw Mr. Stevens
last night at Jil-JMwrdlng place on
Adams avenue. Ha ssTbl:
"I was unprowued with a sent ot
Wednesday night's performance and
was standing at the rear of the balcony.
A man, who I believe to be an agent
of the Bnldwlns, but a stranger to mo.
gave me a ticket and told me It was for
a good reserved seat In the orchestra
He had a number of other tickets In
his hand.
"My ticket wns for nn excellent seat
a few rows from the footlights. A man
who sat at my side was, I believe, a
'copper of the Baldwins. After I had
written my question he went out but
returned again. Mrs. Baldwin when
she came upon the stnge called out
my name, described my appearance,
watch fob, overcoat lining and other
details of my attire and said 'your wife
Is well and happy.' I had written 'In
what town Is my wlfo at this time.'
"I believed the wholo scheme a clever
system of confederacy. I frequently
write for New York and Philadelphia
papers and thought my experience
would make a capital speclul story,
After writing It It occurred to me that
possibly Mr. Baldwin could use It for
advertising purposes, So I wrote him a
letter offering to sell it for $1,00.
- "I also made Mr. Baldwin the propo
sition that I would give $100 -to any
charitable Institution In this city If he
and Mrs. Baldwin would successfully
undergo the lest: I to write a simple
question and Mrs. Baldwin to answer it;
the wholo to be done in, the presence
of a committee. I am willing to stand
by this proposition."
Mr. Stevens stated that the letter
sent Mr. Baldwin was with the ap
proval of Attorney Watson. Mr.
Stevens suld further that ho had Inves
tigated twenty cases which were simi
lar to his own. Ho said that many
questions sent by mail to the Baldwins
at their hotel were answered by compli
mentary tickets to the performances
where the verbal answers were given
publicly and with a show of no pre
vious knowledge of the questions.

cases on for the week comprise - all
manner of Indictments, running from
keeping a gambling house to breaches
of the peace. The trial of K. C. Ed
wards, the typewriter thief, is set down

Joseph Remlnlsky Is the first, and Con

VERDICT FOR HA I LEY.
Jury AwurJs Him SI, 500 for tho Injuries
He Sustained.
Tho jury that had been deliberating
so long on a verdict In the trespass suit
of George Bailey aguinst the borough
of Dickson City came into court Satur
day morning and tho result of their
finding was an award of $1,500 in favor
of Bailey. It was a special verdict nnd
the Jury In answer to the question
whether or not Halley was drunk when
the accident occurred to him stated
that from all the evidence in the case
they were satisfied that the plaintiff
was drunk, but not to tho extent that
his condition was mainly responsible
for the accident he sustained. ,
The Jury was convinced that the At
fectlve sidewalk was In a most dunger
ous condition and It would not have
been safe for even a sober man to walk
along. Tho verdict was received from
eleven Jurors, as one of their number,
John Duggan, took sick and had to be
withdrawn. Bailey sued for $.V),000.
The other jury In the trespass suit of
Mrs. Margaret Hughes-Davis against
the city of Scranton brought In a ver
dict of $100 In favor of the plaintiff. The
Jury said that no damages had been
sustained to the property ot Mrs
Davis upon the lot that measured 40
by K.O.

ing topic this -week and which Is bound
to be itulkod about for weeks to come.
Each evening will be given the dances
by the young girls und young men,
while at ithe matinees beginning to

fit of the Lackawanna hospital und
that SM dancers will take part. The
dances Include the national measures
of many countries and are to be given
In costume under the direction of Miss
Llla A. Stewart, of Kingston, N. Y.,

An Idcu of the Dances.
To describe the grace and novelty
of the intricate dances, the beauty of
the costumes and other details is quite
impossible in limited space. The dances
to be appreciated should be seen. An
Idea, however, of what Is contained In
thu above programme is offered as fol
lows: In the opening tableau will be seen all
the dancers led 't'hroug-h the Intricacies
of a grand maroh by the court jester,
Harry G. Newman. The lime lights,
the sinuous and varl-colored streams of
promenaders and the muslo is bound to
combine a spectacle pleasing and beau
tiful. Introductory to the programme
proper will be seen the "Shadow
Dance," by -Miss Grace Silkman. De
scribed briefly, it consists In the ap
pearance on ttie stage of a charmingly
attired girl who discovers a shadow at
her feet. The s'hadow is, of course,
her own and is thrown by a light hid
den In the wings. The dancer dis
covers her dark and ever-mlmicing
companion and begins to coquette and
dance with It, producing nn effect that
Is pretty in Idea and pretty materially.
Each of the dances following, which
Include from twenty to thirty or more
persons, haye Individually gome win
ning feature. Most of the dances have
solos or duets. In th.J German, or north
country harvest dance, a duet will be
presented by Miss Palkowsky and Fr?d
Tropp. The queen of the Maypole
(English) Dance will be Miss Ethel
Frothlngham, her attendant Miss
Albro.
The Military Dance.
Tothespirltedand familiar "Darkey's
Dream" Miss Gibbs and Miss Edwards,
two of the pretty West Side girls In the
Gypsy Dance, will dance the duet. In
the Military Dance following will be
seen the striking ihussar costumes of
red and gold. To cymbal music a stute
ly and very "fetching" duet will be
danced by Miss lloban and Miss Gussie
Tropp.
The Uur-t Included in the Tarantelle
Dance will be presented by Miss Board
man and Miss Foster. Scarfs, tam
borines and an idea of coquetry give
the dance a very telling effect. Scotch
lads ami lassies will appear In the
dance of hieland craigs an' lowland
dunes. Captain James Molr will do the
highland fling, nnd the sword dance
will be given by Mr. Gunn.
Miss Skinner und Miss Archbald will
appear In the duet in the Spanish
dance. The duet is called "Cachuchu."
If the Hume signifies anything the
dance should be bewildering and a
maze. In the Indian Dance the solo
will be given by Miss Grace Connolly.
It is said to be quite a truthful repro
duction of the rapid, whirling measure
of t'he Jted women.
Not the least attractive feature of
the Kirmess will be the music. Bauer's
orchestra will render selections espe
cially chosen and appropriate for the
different events. Well-known women
and their assistants in appropriate cos
tumes will preside over candy, flower,
lemonade and other booths afternoon
and evening. The doors will open at 3

I IN I
When the advertising atmosphere is so
heavily charged with exaggeration, it
is well to remember who the honest
advertisers are. Windy assertions about
GKEAT reductionsadvertising goods
at impossible prices, find no lodging
place in the minds of intelligent people.
Dull trade throughout the legitimate
business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clothiers to
attract trade, but the schemers will
have to scheme harder and find new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can sto;t the people from coming
to this store for honest values. The
triumph of this store is the triumph of
intelligence, and you have made it so.
Trade has been up to the mark here,
yet there's a touch of attractiveness in
the styles and assortments. We've add-
ed another and more taking attraction
REDUCED PRICES, natural order of
th i n gs here at this season; LOWE R
PRICES than you find ELSEWHERE
