Death of Michael Dcmpson After an Ill ness of Two Months Strange Disap pearance of Teresa Tobln. After an Illness of two months of aplnal disease, Michael J. Dempsey died at 4.30 Saturday morning. He was 33 years of ag-e, and four years ago was married to Miss Emma Clifford, an es timable young lady( whose present be reavement has earned for her the sym pathy of the entire community. Two mall children are left fatherless. He had been for twenty years in the em ploy of William Connell & Co.. the greater part of It being spent as trusted clerk In the Meadow Brook store. He was possessed of a genial disposition, and had friends among all his acquaint ances.

Seven-year-old Teresa Tobln, daugh ter of Michael Tobln, of 923 Irving ave nue, disappeared from home at 7 o'clock Saturday evening, and has not been aeen by her friends since. The child had her supper about 6 o'clock and an hour later, left the house, clad only In light, frock, and wearing no shoes. Her parents' did not worry about her absence until 9 o'clock, and when they searched among the neighbor's houses he was not to, be found. The police were apprised of her disappearance. But no trace of her could be got. As Irving avenue Is within a short distance of the woods the supposition hi that he may have - strayed and lost her way. The parents are very much alarmed.

A Foe to Dyspepsia 1 TWO MEMORIAL SERINS ft. vered by - Rev. Dr. Pcarcc and Rev. Warren G. Partridge. ,JANY BEAUTIFUL THOUGHTS Intern oven with nooiitiful Sontlmohts bv tho Eloquent Clorgymsn Ezra Griffin Post ot Penn Avcnuo Church and Monies Post at Elm Park. Elm Park church, although so spa clous, was crowded last evening at the memorial services to such a degree mat many jeraons were unable to se cure seats, and returned In Brent dls appointment. Colonel Monies post and the Women's Itcllof con were present in a uouy. The specially arranged re Hponslve readings were most heartily sum by the vast concourse, and a pro gramme of uniiHiuil excellence, com- prising special music most appropriate for the occasion, was rendered by the choir. Hev. V. H. renrce's memorial ad dress "The Sacrament of Flowers," was the masterpiece of the eloquent preacher's orations. At muny times uuring the address the veteran showed evident signs of deep emotion. ana many of 'them wept when the rev eremt gentleman In a sympathetic manner touched upon the history of old association. The following excerpt from the tiddivss will Hluntrate the beautiful thoughts so well presented by ur. t 'carve: "This nation cannot keen In too sn cred remembrance, nor can It by uny chance or purpose too highly honor the men who, during the dnrk struggling duys between '61 and '65, stood like a wull of uJnninnt between ua nnd our Irreconcilable enemies, -or; laid down their precious lives aa our daysmen. The tongue of eloquence can never pro nounce on them an enconlum that would be too worthily given. The his torian can never embkuon their names too highly or richly on the national escutcheon, and garlanded procession moving toward graves with benedletlve hands can never be too Impooing or magnificent; for there, men, fighting as they did. and for what they did, de serve to be laureled with fadeless re nown and everlastingly enehrlned In the nation' sheart. Their (iullunt Service for Country. "Since many of these stood through the last watch of the nation's dark night, and saw the hellish monster of human Blavery die: since they have gloriously attested that the great and beautiful Mississippi Valley was never dug for freedom's grave, thnt the Blue Hidge that looked down so long on the bloody strife was never piled' for lib erty's monument; since they have proven that the myriad-tattered flags now folded nway by a grateful nation did not become freedom's wlndtng sheet, and the staff that bore the Stars and Stripes so triumphantly did net become the pall to bear away her life less corpse. Since -this, they deserve a i -aeeanitry. burdened with the truest and highest honor, and this whole na tion ought to be profoundly stilled in l'ts activities and with flowers of scar let and crimson that suggest 'Suffering, and with flowers of white, that suggest victory, and wtth wreaths of ever green that suggest Immortality. It ought to take up Its grateful march to the sepulchred temple of the honored dead. Oh. If we could comprehend by any measure of thought or range of vision Just what tnese men nave wrought out for us and bequeathed to us, we would cover their graves deeper with summer blossoms than tney nave ever been covered with winter snows. God forbid that the perfume of a na tion's thanks, the kiss of a nation's, love nd the shout of a nation's deliverance should ever be withheld from these brave men who set themselves sterniy shoulder to shoulder, making their breasts a bulwark for tna derense ot their motherland; and If "the time should ever come when tnis reaeemea nation becomes so mercenary, so ab sorbed in whatever else, or so forgetful as to fall to commemorate with appro priate and Impressive ceremonies the v-inr nnd heroic deeds of our fallen ft-,iHira tt deserves to be abandoned of God, and like the prophet's role, written within and without with lamen tations, mournings and iwoes. At Penn Avenna Church. A conereeatlon which crowded every nortion of Penn Avenue Baptist church attended the memorial services last nigh, when Rev. Warren u. partrmge preached a powerful sermon on "Pa triotism." Ezra Griffin post was pres ent In uniform. The musical portion of -the services, which was delightfully rendered by the quartette and chorus, was most appropriate for the occasion. The edifice was beautifully decorated ibv the ladles of the church. The ser mon was preached by Invitation of the members of .the Ezra B. Orltlln post, and over 250 veterans were present, who thanked Mr. Partridge for his masterly address. The following ex tracts, taken from the reverend gentle man's address. Indicate the eloquent terms In which he discoursed on the subject of the evening: "True Christians are patriotic citi zens Christianity Is the safeguard of liberty and free Institutions. Memorial Lay Is a .monument to American pa triotism, and It Is pre-eminently fitting that the nation should revere the mem ory of those heroic men who laid down their lives for their country during the civil war. We owe a debt to these valorous veterans that can never be re paid. We should cherish their memory in perpetual gratitude as saviors of their country. No government Is sa.fe without genuine patriotism among its citizens, and .patriotism Is as essential In times of peace as In itlmes of war. 'In no country W love of country so paramount as In a republic. The vry existence of democratic government depends upon the patriotism of Its citi zens. Republics have flourished In the history of .the past as long as genuine love for country has .turned brightly unon the hearts of Its freemen. Hut when the fires of patriotism have be come extinguished the foundations of free Institutions have crumbled and perl-shed. Il I a Ch:lttinn virtue.

"The- welfare of the most powerful race on tho globe Is wrapped up In the destiny of America. - No country on earth has been so wonderfully pros pered. In Its liberties and growth It stands without a parallel In human his tory. Its future Is of Inestimable value to the whole human race. Its Influence will be felt on every part of the earth. Every man who Jives onder the "Stars and Stripes" should be grateful to Al mighty (Jod for this glorious country... "Not only those who were born .oh. these shores, but all who have come to us from the other nations of the earth, should love our free government and institutions with enthusiasm and con stancy. These veterans whose, graves will be strewn wllh beautiful flowers cm Memorial Day died for a principle. Thnt principle was that 'the United States was destined by the Almighty to be one und only one nationality. The old Hag todny waves over a free and united country." Other Memorial Services. Memorial services were also held at the Second Presbyterian church, when Hev. Charles H. Robinson preached an Impressive sermon on "How to Mnke the Most of the Soldier's Sacrifice." The sermon was full of Interest, and wns delivered to a largo congregation. W. C AVeeden, nsttisted by the chorus choir, presented n programme of appropriate music. Rev. XV. J. Ford, hi his sermon at tho Green Ridge Rnptlst church Inst eve ning, spoke on "The Duties of a Na tion to the Memory of Its Heroes." The service was specially arranged, and was largely attended. At the Providence Methodist Kplsrfo pal church Chorister W. D. Wntklns arranged nn excellent musical pro gramme. In the evening Rev. Wllllum Kdgar preuched a powerful sermon on "Unknown Graves." U11JI.K IN THE SCHOOLS. Rev W. G. Wntklns Savs Thnt It Should L'o Kcnd. A large congregation listened with deep (merest yesterday morning In tho North Main Avenue 11nitlst church to Hev. W. G. Watklns' sermon on the Rlble In the public schools. After, de scribing the action of the Supreme court of Wisconsin In what Is known aa .the "Kdgerton Hlble clause," and the similar case now pending In our own count relative to the Waverly school, .Mr. Watklns said: "Sifting the present rase nnd lifting it from a local to a general application, it is the old question. 'Should ithe "Bible be read In the public schools?' Unhesitatingly, yes. "First Recause In no sense can the Rlble be called a sectarian book. It belongs to no man or set of men ex clusivelyas the atmosphere Is (Sod's free gift ,to all his creatures which have lungs to appropria te it. so H the ISIble ito all creatures having souls to whose needs It 4s adapted. "Second Because of the Incalculable benefit which has accrued from the long established custom of rending It In the schools. The verdict of history Is emphatically alllrmatlve. "Third Bible teachings, wherever known, are recognized as the basal stones of right government. An Im posing array of names and opinions can be adduced In substantiation of this claim. One or two will sultlne. J. A. Froude. the historian, declared that Henry VIII, In placing the open Bible In all the schools of England, and commandlnqr the clergy to exhort and encourage the people to resort to It and read It, was laying the foundation stone oi tne wnoie inter nistory oi ji.uk land.' "Coleridge rays: 'For more than a thousand years the Bible has gone hand In hand with civilization, law and science; with the moral and Intellectual culture of the ppecles, always support ing them, and often leading the way. Its very presence as a believed book has rendered the nations having it a chosen race; and this In exact propor tion as It Is .more or less gen erally known and ptudlod. Good and holy men, the best and wisest of mankind, the kingly spirits of history, enthroned in the hearts of mighty nations, have borne witness to Its Influence, declared it to be beyond compare the most perfect Instrument of humanity.'

OUR CLUB IS HOME ftCAIH Manuflcr burnlc Still Hopeful for. the Future. WE MUST HAVE A WINNING TEAM If tho Doys Do Not Begin to Hit tho Ball Soon Ho WIllIMako Changes-Are I'lnylng a Great liumo In tho Field. Tho Scranton base ball club and Man ager Barnle arrived home early yeBter duy morning. All the players are well, but most of them have lame arms as a result of -the severely cold and damp weather that prevailed throughout the trip. Hmlth, the New York catcher, re cently signed, Is In Philadelphia, where he was summoned on account of his mother's niness. He will come to Scran ton today or tomorr6w. To a Tribune reporter Manager Barnle yesterday talked quite freely concerning thu recent trip, during which the club dropped from second to sixth position. The severe weather of the first week and the club's Inability to bat wore mentioned by him as the two chief reas ons for losing more than a reasonable number of games.. He argued, too, that tho Scranton club hud to contend against luck In several contests. When nuked If he would release some of the players, Manager Barnle re marked emphatically that he would do so If In a reasonable time they did not show a disposition to lilt the ball. "Scranton will have a flrst-clui-a team If money and effort can secure. It," he said. "We want the support of the pub lic, and we know that to be successful we must have a winning team and we'll get It. It Is a fact, however, that In field work no club In the league has done better than ours. If we hud been as fortunate In batting we would not now be in the sixth position, but the season is young and our present position In the race does not signify thut we will not do better."
