SCORE WAS A TIE.
Business College Eleven Almost Downod
the Bicycle Club Team.
A foot ball surprise was created Sat
urday afternoon, when the eleven of
the Scranton Business college played a
tie game, 6-6, with the Scranton Bicy
cle club eleven, the latter belns clearly
beaten until four minutes before the
end of the second half, when Zang made
a touchdown and Thayer kicked a goal,
tlelng the score.
The college eleven was the lighter, but
played a quicker game than the bicycle
men, equalled them In defensive work
and had only a slight disadvantage in
aggressive plays, which alone saved
the heavy bicycle- team from defeat.
After ten minutes of the second half
a touchdown by Poster and a goal by
Horn gave the college men six points.
By desperate playing Zang and Thayer
tied the score. The line-up was as fol

Two Missionaries Address the Second
Presbyterian Church Congregation.
ONE IS BLACK AND ONE WHITE
Joseph Phlpps, Converted in the Rescue
Mission, Sails Next Week with Rev.
.Philip Vomer for the Congo-Mr.
Venter's Thonchtful Address.
In the Second Presbyterian church
last night was witnessed on unusually
Impressive service, participated In by
Joseph T'hipps, a West Indian negro
member of the church, and younK Kev.
Philip Verner. of Columbia. A. C. who
In a few days sail together from this
country for th CiinRo region In Africa,
where .t'hey will be missionaries.
rhlpps is well-known In Scranton, he
having been converted three jvnrs ago
In the Itexcue mission, on Franklin
avenue, after being connected with a
museum and ilivlng a worldly life.
Voting Mr. Verner comes of a minister
ial family of many generations.
The church was well tllli-d by 7-30
o'clock, when the usual Introductory
service or sonps and scriptural and
psalter readings was begun by Kev. 'Or.
Charles K. 'Robinson, the pastor, who
later Introduced J. A. Lansins. who,
with A. H. Williams and Dr. Robinson,
had been 'Phlpps' friend nnd counsel
lor since 'his conversion. Sir. Lansing
related briefly the young negro's ca
reer. He was born thirty-two years
ago in St. Kltts, 'West Indies, and was
converted In the 'Rescue mission on
July 5. 182. He attended the Moody
school in Chicago with the purpose of
fitting himself for missionary work In
Africa, and devoted six months to
learning carpentry, as this knowledge
will greatly assist him in his chosen
work.
The colored missionary then . spoke,
but occupied the congregation for only
a few moments. Jie confined himself
to proclaiming his thanks to lod for
having brought him from a wicked to
a purer life, and modestly expressed
his confidence In being able to cope
with obstacles and come In close touch
In Africa with the heathen of his own
color.
Roy In Vcnr. Man In Thought.
In Introducing IMr. Verner Pr. Robin
son remarked that his ancestry for
seven generations back had been If the
ministry. When the young man rose to
speak It was noticed that he was not
over 23 or 24 years of age and might be
younger, lie looked a mere boy, but
during the next twentv-flve minutes
held the rapt attention of the audi
tory and proclaimed himself a man In
logical thought and forceful sppaklng
which would thave done credit to one of
more experience and years.
Africa, geographically, topographic
ally and theoretically, he said, offers
today easier means of religious refor
mation than has any other country in
years gone by. Its cl!mnt Is of every
kind save the arctic, while Its veg?table
and mineral resources are of every
known -arIety. The continent ltelf.
which In length would reach from San
Francisco to Europe, he likened to the
rim and crown of a man's hat the rim
representing a marshy lowland border
encircling -almost the whole continent.
nr.d the crown representing a plateau.
The Niger, Cnngo. Zambezi and Nile
rivers, he said, now offer the very In
centive and ald'to civilization, although
these streams In past years, on account
of their huge waterfalls and dangerous
rapids, have In the past prevented navi
gation. Excepting the Nile, each has
a waterfall or waterfalls separately
exceeding the volume and power of
America a Niagara, and around them
feasible routes have been found.
Missionary work nowadays, he said,
Is in Its equipment, methods and sys
tem, profiting by the work of the past
and It is found to aid In the speedy re
ligious reform of middle and southern
Africa, even the former.being more ac
cessible than Is the Interior of China,
which country has been seml-clvlllzed
for many years.
The offering of the evening will he de
voted towards purchasing PhiDDs'
equipment.
Will 15c Kqnippcd In Knglnnd.
'Mr. Vernor leaves Scranton tomorrow
and with his negro companion will sail
from New York for Liverpool next
week. In England they will be out
fitted and supplied from the Presby
terian missionary equipment station,
and will sail direct for the mouth of the
Congo, from where they will go to tht
Interior stations and separate, each
bound for a different mission.
A reception was given Joseph Phlpps
at the Rescue mission by the members
Saturday night. The mission was
filled. The service began with song by
the mission choir, led by Mrs. George
(1. Sanborn, wife of the superintendent.
The new missionary preached briefly
from II Timothy, ill, IS. "With growing
grace and in the knowledge of our Lord
Jesus Christ." Refreshments were
served in ttie basement by Misses
Laura Waugh. Grace Coglizer, Mulr
and Mrs. Sanborn.
FREE BEER ON SUNDAY.
Dr. Mcl.eod Says the Sabbath Ts for Man,
Not the saloon.
"Sunday and the 'Saloon Should Our
Sunday Laws be Relaxed or Repealed
In the Interest of the Liquor Traffic,"
was the subject of 'Rev. Dr. J'ames Mc
Leod last night in the First Presby
terian church. It Is a subject of In
terest Just now In New ork, and Is the
plank on which the Issue of the state
political fight Will depend: evidently
the Interest has become Infectious, for
the congregation -was so large as to
nearly fill the church.
Dr. McLeod based his discourse upon
three verses from the -Scripture: St.
Mark, II, 27 and 28, "And He said unto
them the 'Sabbath was made for man
and not man for the Sabbath," "There
fore the Son of Man Is 'Lord also of the
Sabbath;" St. Mark ill, 24. "And If a
kingdom be divided against itself, that
kingdom cannot stand." Jle said:
The Sunday question was a great one In
the time of Jesus Christ and It Is a great
question now. The Habbath of the Phari
see was made for the Pharisee. Our Lord
very often violated the Pharisaic Sab
bath: He rebuked their hollow pretences.
The Pharisee were utter strangers to the
piru or 'ine true Haubatn. our Lord pal. I
the Sabbath was made for men, and that
It is lawful to save life, to do good cn
that day. 8-ime of the friends, ns well
as Its foes, have forgotten this truth. It
Is quite pitiln from the teaching of our
Lord that even the letter of a dtvlne Inw
can be broken, though not the spirit of the
luw. If you are "In the spirit" on the
Lord s (lay you will not break any law.
Most Important Before the People
Now I call attention to this Rumlay
question. It Is one of the most practical
and Important now before the people; it
Is not a fV-rantor.. question, not a New
York question, though that state Is In a
turmoil over it. Politicians are wrestling
with the Bunday question and with the
Sunday law. Roosevelt and his associates
are held up by the politicians to public
ridicule lor uowig ineir uuty, tor enforc
inn- the law.
"Free beer and no Sunday!" How do
you like that? One party has gone that
far they are the extremist. They want
a Sunday, but plenty of beer; they want
a law passed to give the cities a right to
vote whether thc saloons shall bo open
on Sunday; they want more "genuine lib
erty." There Is another party, which
maintains that thn Sun-lay laws shall be
ministered. To the nonor to the press, be
It said, that mortt of the papers are In fa
vor of the maintenance of the Sunday law.
It Is true that some of these vory news
papers are themselves violating the luw
publishing Sunday papers, and employing
railroad trains and steamboats to deliver
its wares.
When "local option" and "home rule'
phrases are used to deceive the people,
we should ry and give the facts: The
saloonkeepers maintain that each city
should have the right to make Its own
Sunday laws. Then why not mftke ail
the lows for themselves? There are
wards and ward In New York and Chi-
coco that would vote in favor of gambling.
8aH Lake City would probably vote In
tuvor or polygamy, ina proposition is
absurd, but base and nicked ns H Is. It
Is' advocated by some Influential papers.
American Sabbath Is in Danger.
There Is no use (Utilising the fact that
the Amerlcun Sat-batb Is In danger. Uut
It also has Its frlonds; churches, I'aunoiic
and Protestant, have proclaimed through
Its official bodies In favor of the Amer
ican Sabbath. Thank liod that the Cath
olic church has taken the position it has.
If It Is rluht for New York elty to mane
Its own laws on a. bail business, .then why
not let the cities vote on larceny, divorce
u iv I gambling or other acts.
What has brought this aboiHT -ine en
forcement of the law lost money to the
brewers, the distillers and saloonkeepers.
The wurkiiiirnifii who itot drunk on tf'in-
day were coniiM-lled to keep sober on the
Sat.bath and give up tneir practices, ami
they ask us in the Hume "personal lib
erty" 'to help im to pass such laws. When
ami where will this liquor power us
brought down?
Dr. 'McLeod scored Senator Hill for
his position In the matter a position
for votes, die said that the United
States does not want a iierman, Eng
lish. French or Italian Sabbath; bet
ter a thousand times the old Puritan
Sunday, with all its oppression, than a
continental Sabbath with free beer and
resultant evils.
The church choir, numbering about
twenty-two voices, opened the service
by rendering most beautifully "The
fun 'Shall He No I.Ylore by Day," one of
Woodward's best anthems. Dr. Mc
Leod mil the Ten Commandments,
which was tht keynote of his address.
'Miss Sailer, Tom. Abrahums and I). C.
Richard sang with tine effect a trio
entitled "Ood I'o SMerclful Unto Us and
Uless Us."

PROJECT TO EKECT A HALL
Ad Ami-Treating League as an Auxiliary
Orfsnlintlon-Two Cadets Kccelvcd
Badges for Their Active
Work in the Cause
Despite the stormy weather, the hall
of the Hyde Park Father 'Mathew so
ciety was filled yesterday afternoon
with delegates from the Catholic To
tal Abstinence societies of the second
district, assembled In the tenth quar
terly convention. Timothy W. 'McCoy,
of the West Side, entered upon the
presidency of the convention and will
remain at the helm during the current
year. John Gavan, of the South Side,
assumed the secretaryship.
President i.McCoy Is entitled to much
credit for the ability wit'h which lie
conducted the business and shut off
needless debate. Speeches were made
bv ex-d'resldent J. H. Devlne, of the
Diocesan union, ex-Vice-President
Oharles Lavan, of Wilkes-Rarre, and
Vloe-d'resident Peter I.McCoy. The pre
liminary business having passed, the
question was put for debate,. "What Is
the best means of advancing the tem
perance movement?" On this subject
the unanimous sentiment was that the
co-operation of the clergy Is the best
means.
-Delegate iMcTlernan, of Luzerne
ptreet, believed In stopping the Illegal
sale of liquor. He 'had personal knowl
edge of a grogshop In full blast yester
day. 'Some of the delegates asked him
If ne knew about the matter, why he
didn't report It to the proper authori
ties? He answered that they as well
as he knew 'the same facts; they knew
that every Sunday In the year a half
dozen saloons In the very block the con
vention was meeting In keep open
house.
Editor Jtidgo's Rousing Motion.
James F. Judge, editor of the Index,
logued quite lengthily a motion that a
longed quite lengthily a motion that a
vigilance committee, consisting of one
member from each society, be appoint
ed to go around on the Q. T. and col
lect evidence against the liquor seller.-)
who do not regard the laws of the
state. This committee would be ex
pected to confer wMh the spiritual di
rector of the union, with the aim In
view to use moral suasion toward
bringing the saloon element to terms.
The motion cnused commotion and
spirited cross-lire. President iMcCoy
refused to entertain tne motion ami
Mr. Judge appealed from the decision
of the chairman. The appeal was sus
tained and the motion came up for de
bate. A. J. Martin was greeted with many
"O'h's!" when he declared himself not
opposed Ito the licensed snloon. Ho
would put his foot on the hole In the
wall and 'the man who, having a li
cense, sells liquor on 'Sunday and dis
penses it to minors. There were oth
ers, many others, who spoke on the mo
tion; but, flnnlly, w'hen the motion
came to a vote, It was put over until
the next ounrterly convention. All
other questions that were down for de
l-ate were continued until the next con
vention. Mr. Judge brought up another mat
ter, which was that a committee should
be appointed to formulate a plan of
honorary membership in societies. He
and Delegate ;M. J. O'Toole. with the
district 'officers, were appointed on
that committee.
Anti-Trcnting League.
There was yet another matter on
which Mr. Judge desired to be heard.
It was the formation of an'antl-treat-In
league as an auxiliary organization,
the Intention of the league to be the
prohibition of the habit of treating.
The author declared that treating Is a
baneful matter. lEx-Presldent Devine
characterized 'Mr. Judge's proloct as a
radical and dangerous step. 'There was
some discussion and eventually the
matter was laid on the table until -the
next convention.
Mr. O'Toole Introduced a subject that
received favorable consideration nnd
was recommended as possessing very
much merit. (He thought that the tem
perance movement 1s powerful enough
to have a cenitral hall building on some
of the principal streets of the city, as
a monument to the stability and en
during of the temperance cause. At
the nexit convention the plans of differ
ent architects will be submitted to the
dlegntes, and they will be informed In
regard to the cost of erecting; a hall.
Mr. Devlne spoke for the subject nnd
thought It would be Just the thing that
is needed. The delegates took a vote
on the matter of the hall, and decided
that it would he well to look over plans
and consider the estimate of cost,
rndcts Hecclve llndgcs.
A worthy feature of the convention
was the nrescntatlnn of gold badges to
Edward T. McHale and Thomas Ken
ney, two young cadets of the Hyde
Park Father Mkthew society, for 'having
brought In the greater! number of
members to the Cf.det society. J. H.
Brown, president of the Father Mathew
society, made the presentation speech,
and the badges were pinned on thf
breasts of the boys by President Mc
Coy. An Intermission of thirty minutes
was begun at 9 o'clock, and the dele
gates were served with coffee, sand
wiches and cake by a corps of young
ladles. The convention afterward was
occupied with the adoption of plans for
expediting business. It has been cus
tomary heretofore to allow unlimited
debate on all questions, and too mnny
have taken advantage of this latitude
and turned the convention Into an ora
torical kindergarten. The convention
adjourned to meet on l'he Becond Sun
day of January In St. John's hall, Ca
pouse avenue.
