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.

WILLIAMS & M'ANOLTY
FIRE AT NAT AUG PARK
Hard Hattlc to Subdue the Flames in
the Trees and Shrubbery.
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

New York; Dr. iE. O. Shakespeare, of
Philadelphia; 'Dr. (Porteus, of Taylor;
(Messrs. Kotrt &,.fton. of iPitteton ; Victor
Koch, Dr. 1). 'II. ,Kand, Emll Welchcl,

LAST OF POMPEII.
Firoworks r Spectacle Closed Saturday
Night at Laurel Hill Park.
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.

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

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.
