BURf UKS AT OLYPHANT. They Entered Joseph Spitz's Sioro by Hi-coking the Plate Glass Window, As Joseph Spit, a well-known store keeper of Olyphant, was returning home at 4 o'clock Saturday morning, after spending the greater part of the night with a sick friend, he was amar.cd to Hnd one of the plate glass windows In tho front of tho store broken. An Investigation revealed to him the fact that there were burglars Inside making themselves at home. They heard him coming and escaped through the rear of the store, which they had prepared for hurried escape by taking out a window. iMr. Spit, followed them; they had omo bundles with them, and, after going a few hundred yards, they stopped and fired their revolvers back at him. The shooting aroused the neighborhood, bringing out a large crowd of persons to see the cause of tho pistol reports. Mr. Spitz did not onre much about being a target for the burglars. He retreated and that gave them a chance to make their escape. The borough "police are working on a clue that may lead to the detection of the spoilsmen. Tho booty secured did not amount to $50, and, with the break Ins; of the window, IMr. Spitz's loss will not exceed $80. The articles the burg Jars got were knives, razors, hats, caps and some shoes. : Great Baking Exhibit.

CHEMICAL EXGIXB WAS t'SED With tho Assistance That Policemen and .Men from tho Street Commissioners' ltcpurtmcnt Gave the Firemen. It Was Extinguished. Through most censurable careless ness or downright vandalism. It is not known which, a lire was started in the woods on the (Lackawanna, Iron and coal company's tract, near Nay Aus park, yesterday, and 'it was after hours of hard work by the police, firemen and members of the street commissioner's gang that the' tlann-s were subdued. The lire was llrst discovered by Park Policen'an iMdMannma shortly after noon. and. with the assistance of a few others, who were at hand, he attempted to prevent t he flame from sprosuilmr. Owing to the unusually combustible nature of the fallen leaves and shrub bery, which, owing to .the long, dry epell, were like tinder, their efforts were futile, and when the burning area was broadened to alarming propor tions, help was summoned from the centrnl city. .Police headquarters detailed Patrol men Melnxer. Jyer and Sloat to assist in the fire fighting, and several men front the street commissioner's depart ment wont along to lend a hand. F. 1. MctJowan, whose resilience Is dang erously near the burning district, tele phoned for ilremen. The Phoenix com pany, with the chemical engine, which, owing to the ubsence of tire hydrants In that vicinity, would be the only one of any use. hurried to the scene, and the combined forces began a systematic onslaught on the flames. Systematically l ighting tho l ire. Those who were not manning the en gine cut branches from the trees and. by beating the burning leaves, succeed ed In holding it in check, when it threatened to overreach on the park plot, while the llremcn attacked tha shrubbery and gradually succeeded in getting the llames under subjection. About 4 o'clock the danger point was passed and all but the Ilremen were re lieved from the battle. It was not until 6.01 that the chemical engine was shut down, and only ufter four tanks of the Hre-quclllng fluid had been ex hausted that the last vestige of the blaze was extinguished. Many gaint trees, all the shrubbery and the leaves, which littered the ground, to the depth of several inches, were consumed over an area of several acres. Thanks to tho precaution and hard work of the firemen and the other tire-fighters, the flumes were prevented from communicating to the park, which adjoins the burned district. On Saturday another blaze was start ed In the park by three foolishly thoughtless: youths. Franlt Shtiliz, John Thornton and Charles Connor. The blaze was discovered In time to pre vent Its spread by Park Superintendent Phillips and Policeman Mc.Manama, who, after quenching It, marched the three itict ndianics to the police station, when Alderman Millar taught them a lasting lesson at J2 a head. It was deemed necessary to patrol the burned district during the entire night, as the least breeze was liable to fan into a blaze the smouldering Arcs, which, no doubt, lurked here and there, even ufter the careful and thorough efforts of .the fire-fighters to subdue every ve3tlge of the fire of the after noon. Precautions In the Park. Until the present drought Is ended It Is advised that no one shall throw lighted cigar stubs or fire of any other description in or about the park. Should a conflagration there once get beyond control there is no telling what damage may result. THREE POLICE RAIDS. Sixteen Sinners Arraigned in Sunday Morning Police Court. The determination of Lieutenant WIIKams t'hat no disorderly houses shill flourish In the West Side prxinot brought another motley crowd of un fortunates before Alderman iMillar yes terday morning. They were the occu pants fif two dives on Robinson street, mar the switch and numbered eight women and five men. Two raids were manic. In ithe first five women ani a" like number of men were captured, and In a neighboring holism three lonely females were bagged. Viola "Williams presided over the first house and oneh Anne Law son paid the rent for the otiher. The boarding missus .In each case waa fined 2.1, 'the girls apiece and the men JH. He fore nightfall all had se cured their 'release either by payment of the lines or 1y giving security for fu ture settlement. Yesterday afternoon a drunken vis itor at Kittle Mills house, In Hallstead court, broke a window and otherwise disturbed the Sabbath quiet, which brought the police upon Mie place -with dire consequences to MIssi.VIIlls and an other male visitor, for these two, with the first disturber, were lodged In Jail as Inmates of a disorderly house. They paid the regulation fee. MR. WARDE'S NEW PLAY. ' v , It Was Produced at tho rrothlnRham Sat urday Night. Frederick Warde and company pre sented "J he Lion's Mouth" and 'Utunnymede" at the iFrothinghnm Sat urday to fair sized audiences. The former Is Henry Guy IHarleton's strong play, and was received with much fa vor In the afternoon. There was much Interest manifested In Mr, Warde's new play, "Kunny mede," which was written for him by William Greer lilarrison, of San Fran cisco. It dpals with the condition of affairs In England prior to the wrest ing of the .Magna Charta from King John by the Kngllsh barons on the plain of Hunnymede. The play was staged In a superb manrter, but It lacks dramatic action, and even Mr. Warde and his clever company were unable Saturday night to make of It a play which has the elements of a popular success. IT WAS AGGRAVATING. Machinery llrenk Down During tho l lrst Test at tho Ilnntn Glass Works. The stockholders of ithe I'unta Glass company vlMlted the works on Saturday to Inspect the plant, which la now com plete, and to witness the first practical test of the machinery.

Saturday night witnessed the closing performance of Pain's fireworks pec tacle,. "The Last Days of Pompeii." Notwithstanding the chilly air, about 1.000 persons were In the audience. It was "Firemen's Night," and appropos of the occasion the feature of the per formance was the spectacle of a Are engine In all manner of colors, with wheels turning and tire in lieu of water spouting from the noszle. - It is to the credit of the manage ment that the entertainment was given in all its detail, and the same comment applies to the performers, who must have suffered from the cold. Since Its first night in Scranton "The Kali of Pompeii" has delighted the many who witnessed it, and it Is to be regretted that the enterprise of the Laine credi tors. In securing so costly an attrac tion, have lost money. DEATH OF A BRIGHT BOY. Harry Walil Succumbs to Appcndicits After an Opcra'ton.

Coursen,' sole gent,' ( . '. HIS FAREWELL SERuON Kcv. W.C. Tartriilge's Last Discourse t 1'cob Avenue Baptist Church. RECEl'TIOX TO HIM TONIGHT Mr. Partridge Leaves Tomorrow for Ills New Charge in Cincinnati, Ohio. Text of Ills Morning Sermon to His Congregation. The duties of Rev. Warren d. Part ridge ua pafetor of the Penn Avenue Baptist church terminated with last night's service. He preached morning and evening, and was present at the Sunday school in 'the af tot noon, and after each of these services clasped hands in a parting God-speed with hundreds of numbers of his congrega tion and bis friends. Tlie evening service was a union ser vice of 'Baptist churches, and included the rites of baptism. The sermons of REV. WARRKN O. PARTItlDGR. the pastor might be mentioned as "farewell sermons." only because they were his final discourses. His morn ing sermon Is subjoined. At Its conclusion he spoke only brief ly of his regret over bis coming de parture. He said it grieved him to go, but he could do a greater and broader work In the new Held. Cincinnati, Ohio, where he becomes pastor of the Ninth Street church. He leaves tomorrow morning. Tonight a farewell reecption will be tendered him In the parlors of the church, where all Ills friends, whether members of the church or not, are invited. Mr. Partridge's imornlng text was from Kpheslans, III, 17, IS and 19, but especially that part of the seventeenth verse, which says: "That Christ may dwell In your hearts by faith." He said: Mr. Partridge's Sermon. There is an old tradition ubout the fa mous battlefield or Cuiloden. It is said that belated travelers at night, passing by the three larte mounds of the buried warriors, "have suddenly found them selves amid tilt) smoke and hurly-burly or a battle, and could recognize by their Scutch plaid the clans engaged. After u hundred years the could see the great Scotch commander, con spicuous on a white horse among chad owy combatants." The clouds of bat tle hang-.ng over Calvary have cleared away; but even now after nineteen cen turies we behold the great captain of our ralvation ridi.:g over the battlclleld of tins world from victory to victory, and Christ has multiplied himself a million fold. Martin Luther once said "If any one should usk nie If this was Martin Lu ther I should say ".'o! This Is Jesus Christ." This is Paul's reasoning: ".My life seems to be a mere nn;mal life, in the flesh," but this Is not my true lire; It Is but the musk of l fe under which lives an other, I. e Christ, who is my true life. This Is the frequent teuching of the New Testament. Conversion Is called the new birth. The Infant Is born and begins a new and independent life. At conversion the old nature dies, and there is a new birth the new man which is Christ lu us. As a man owns his house in which he dwells and controls It, so does Christ own our body as the house !n w hich he dwells. We are the house; Christ Is the inmate. We are the mask, Christ is the real face behind the mask. For Paul savs "That Christ may dwell In your hearts' bv faith that ye might lie tilled with all tho full ness of God." So the New Testament dis tinctly alllrms that every true Christlun hns Christ In him. Kvery believer Is a temple; and Jesus Christ dwellcth In you. And wo all who love God sincerely can say with Martin Luther: "This Is not Martin Luther, it Is Jesus Christ." Chi 1st Is the Soul. The believer Is the body. Christ Is the soul. You are the casket; He Is the Jewel. You aro the ship; Bo is the pilot. You are the tent: He Is the occupant. So the church Is railed the body of Christ. What are some of the lessons of this truth? First, wo should think Christ's thoughts. "As n man thlnketh so is he." Our thinking makes up the warp and woof of our character. The 'silk worm must have a particular kind of leaves for Its food In order 'that he may spin silk. We must have a particular food for our thinking in. order to spin the silken web of Christian character. ITnipyo we think Christ's thoughts we cannot be come Chrlstlike. If you think sinrul thoughts, they will stain your character, and after many years when the thoughts have been forgotten, the crimson stains will remain inerfncable. This should be the balance In which to weigh your thoughts. Is my thinking like Christ's? Is It pure? Is it noble? How necessary that every thread be pure find clenn, that when tho fabric of our life Is spread out before the gaze of men nnd angels at the Judg ment It may be faultless. Second lt us express Christ's life In our conversation. Would the world know that Christ liveth In us by our daily con versation! "tint of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh." We tnlk of those things that most Interest us. You ran tell what Is uppermost In a man's heart by his conversation. His hobby will appear in his speech. But Christ liveth In us. He Is our true life. Would the world ever know by our speech thnt Jesus was the occupant of our head? You say how should I tnlk? We should talk as Christ did. We should ever think that Christ Is dwelling w'thln us. Is my conversa tion worthy of my Lord? Christian Should He Cheerful. There Is a distinction between cheer fulness and levity. The Christian should ever be cheerful but never frivolous. Ho many people before they are aware of it, acquire a habit of trifling, a constant habit of seeing tho ridiculous side of ev erything. Such a habit may go so far as to utterly vitiate a person's Influence and make ono shallow and Insipid. It be comes us to have convictions and moral stamina. We should be liko Christ In our conduct. The dutiful son will always think when away from home, "Now I will do nothing to disgrace my futher and mother. There Is a family pride and character and repu tation which is sacred." We nre all away from home, awny from our Heavenly Father's house. There Is the character of the heavenly family to maintain. Wo nsk about our amusements. "Can I do this? Will there be any harm In that? Can I go to that place of question able amusement? Can I have this Indul gence? That luxury, this liberty?" Let me tell you a perfect answer In all these cases. Ask yourself this question: "What would Christ do under these circum stances? Wouldllo go or would Ho not? Would He abstain or Indulge? - Would He care only for His own pleasure, or would He think of His Influence upon others?" You have in the New Testament four biographies of Christ. You can study them every day. We Should Aet Like Christ. Again we should act like Christ in our business. We should ask ourselves would Christ engage In this business. Would He resort to these methods? Many men have a reputation for being smart and shrewd In business. What does It gener ally mean. It sometimes means that a man has real business talent. But too often when we say of a man he Is smart and shrewd we mean in plain English, If we are courageous, that he Is a liar and a theif. The Christian name should mean so much in the business world that at mail could suy: "I will transact business with that man, for he is a Christian. We should show forth Christ in our so cial life and in our estiniute of men and women. When we are about to take some step In life, to do some new thing, wo sit down and weigh the matter. Most of men ask these questions: Now will this be policy for me? Shall 1 make friends by doing this? Will It pay me? Will It make mo popular? Will it bring me public notice or olllce, a reputution or fame? Will U help me socially? Hut only one question should decide a Christian; that is, what would Christ do under these cireumstunees. I will do the thing anil take the course that the spirit of Christ fcird vraycr will lletato. Some people never see merit in a man If it Is dressed in a blouse Hnd overalls. Such sickly sen timent takes ull the manhood out of many men and all the womanhood out of more women. Why not look at the heart and character? Christ chose rude, unlet tered llshernien for His daily eoinpan'ons and disciples. He loved a man not for his clothes or wealth or social position, but for his character. As we dwell upon the truth and growth of Christ in tho believer's heart we should estimate men ns Christ did. If we love Christ wo shall love Bis people, because Christ dwells In every truo believer's heart. Let ns reverence) man for th Christ that dwells within him. You would rather have lost your life than to have wronged or slighted or grieved Christ when He was upon earth. Then do not wrong, or sllKht, or grieve the Christ that lives In your neighbor's soul, hor Christ says: "lii.'imi:ch ns ye did It not unto one or the least of these, my breth ren, ye did It not ui'to me," AN ELOQUENT SERMON. It Wos Delivered by Rev. rather O'Colln hun at the Cathedral. Rev. Father O'Callahan. one of the Paulist missionaries now conducting the mission at St. John's church. South Side, preached the sermon ut the lO.iW mass In the cathedral yesterday morn ing. His discourse waa on prayer, and as yesterday was the feast of the Vir gin Mary, he made his words applicable to the great power of Mary as an in tercessor. After the name of Jesus there Is no other name so worthy of adoration; and yet, not so much be cnuse she was the mother of God, he said, as that she was full of grace. The saints are also powerful Interces sors, because of their union with God. Tho 'Savior .'aid, "What you shall ask the Father In my name, it shall be granted to you." Father O'Callnhan said that It can not be the meaning of this promise that everv whim nnd every enprlclous re quest made by man shall be gratified if asked In prayer. If otherwise were the case man would be the master and God the servant. Human wisdom can see this; wh;n a mother refuses her child's wish, she Is doing good, for that child, and is reserving her granting of the wish of the child for something better. Suppose, said the speaker, that a man should rush Into the l.'nited Statoy treasury and ask for an enormous amount of money; that man would be asked in whose name he demanded so large a sum. He would have to show his right to the money, and if ha said he wanted It In the name of the treas urer, he would have to show that there wns a good cause for the demand. When a man prays to God h: must show the right he has to nsk for th" favor. The sinner has no right to ask favors of (lod, because he does not de serve them. But that does not mean that the lowest nnd meanest have no right to pray. They are entitled to the right to pray, but ns a beggar beseech ing for favors he does not deserve. Sin Is the only thing that can separate man from God. Christ said. "I am the vine and you ore the branches." The sin ners are the dead branches that shall be gathered and burned. The promise of God to grant whatso ever Is usked In Bis name of tho Father Is made only to those who have a right to speak In the name of Christ. Koine will say that the will of God will be done anyway, and that prayer is no use. Argument like that, the speaker said, is a confession nf the man's Im perfection. Prayer Is for those who aro of Christ, who makes them the chan nels of bounty to mankind. He will also be the channel of God's grace to his fellow men and will lift them to his own plai.e. Prayer makes a man the creator of his future self, In body ns well as In soul. This Is seen In tin lives of the saints. They were lifted out of the narrow world to an atmos phere of vitality that Is of God. Prayer Is a life of union with God here and a perfect union hereafter. sabbathTxews notes. Rev. IX C. Hughes preached as usual at the Jackson Ktreet .Baptist church.
