the three emblems of the Order. In
discussing virtue, reference was made
to industry and immigration.
Mr. Gift did not hesitate to condemn
the present indiscriminate immlirra
tion system, while admitting that this
country la free to all the world; but
he argued that the constitutional and
other laws would not condone the ad
mission of any but "true men." "Lib

in a religious sense and in its amdica
tion to schools means religious schools
but not sectarian schools. He com
mended a principal of the Order which
favors a Bible in every school house
and a United rUates Hag lloatingr from
each school building. .
Of "patriotism," he urged his hear
ers to be true to God and themselves,
and then to be true to their country,
whose ystem of government invites
stalwart devotion.

This meeting will be addressed by Mrs.

poor board: and by Miss Anna M.
Clarke, M. D.
In reference to the meetings the fol
lowing has been received by The Tri
bune from Rev. Mr. Miller:
"In sending the announcement of ad
dresses to be delivered In Trinity church
on the subject of "1'nchastlty," it may be
necessary to add a Word of explanation:
It Is not intended to inaugurate a regu
lation crusade ueulnst the social evil in
this city, but Hither to warn those whose
hearts are not yet seared bv this bodv and
soul-destroying flame of hell. Under the
conviction that prevention Is far better
than cure, and that the Christian ambas
sador dare "keep hack nothing that Is
profitable," it Is purposed to ileal plainly
with a subject upon which there is, too
ofien, criminal silence.
Obviously certain phases of the evil can
not be dealt with in the pulpit, neither is
tne preai nrr quaiineci to speak or them as
the magistrate, the Physician and others
whose professional and philanthropic work
brings them in trill I closer contact with the
crowning curse of society. l'or this rea
son the sermonlc discourse for the general
fnibllc Is to be followed by separate ineet
ngs of men and women, to be addressed
by well known and highly respected per
sons, whose opportunities for presenting
needful facts are necessarily large.
They say that Luther once threw his
Inkstand at the devil. However that may
be, printers' ink, If it reflects sound moral
principles, is good stuff to throw at the
devil of uneleanness. If It does not kill,
lis blackness ttlves his disguise the color
of his real self, and ithus alarms tho un
suspecting. It Is therefore hoped that the
usual help of the city press will be extend
ed this effort in tho interest of good mor
als, and that there will be no attempt to
give this matter a sensational, and thus
doubtless a harmful, coloring.

NEW PASTOR IN CHARGE.
Kev. .Mr. Nordt Officiated at Hickory
Street Presbyterian Church.
Rev. 'William A. Nortlt officiated yes
terday for the llrst time as pastor of
the Hickory Street Presbyterian
church. He preached morning and eve
ning to congregations that occupied
every sent In the church.
His morning discourse was on the
text, "And when they had lifted up
their eyes they saw no one gave Jesus
only." The transfiguration' of Christ,
said the speaker, wus a sign to His
apostles of his divinity, that they would
understand his presence among them
was about to cease; but His word was
left for them to preach to all mankind.
Rev. Mr. Nordt told his congregation
that he had not come among them to
preach any new doctrine; they shall
hear from him only teachings laid down
In the word of God. He touched brief
ly on the past troubles In the church
and advised that the past be forgotten;
the present can be made fruitful and
with God's help the future will be
bright.
In the evening his text was, "Come
now and let us reason together, salth
the Lord: though your sins oe as scar
let, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they
shall be as vT)ol." This discourse ex
plained the great mercy of the Savior.
He invites mankind and promises to
them forgiveness for their transgres
sions against His laws. The speaker
urged the present as tha acceptable
time.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
The .Merry World Will no Seen at the
Irntliinphnm To-night.
The leap that Canary & Lederer took
at the New York Casino during the
summer of 1894 in the presentation of
"The Passing Show," an entirely new
style of entertainment, having for its
chief feature a burlesque reproduction
of the principal current successes, em
boldened them to enlarge upon the Idea
this year, which they ambitiously ac
complished at the same theater under
the apt title of "The Merry World,"
which will be seen at the Frothingham
tonight. All accounts agree that "The
Merry World" Is even superior to "The
Passing Show," In the treatment of top
ics, with the result of a greater con
sistency and connectedness In the pro
gramme. The topics of "The Merry
World" may be readily divined as in
cluding the now Irrepressible "Trilby,"
the Napoleonic "Sans Gene," together
with the whole ?nmut of comic operas
from "Hob Roy" to "Wang," up or
down, the programme shows a feast In
Itself. The costuming is considered on

1'nclc Tom's Cabin To-night.
Of Uncle Tom's Cabin, which will
be seen at the Academy of Music to
night, one of our exchanges says: "An
Immense crowd held a sort of mnss
meeting around the Onera house doors
while sections of it filed In and packed
the house until the card was hunir tin.
announcing standing room only. This
unusual demonstration was not due to
anything new, for it was only Uncle
Tom, but Stetson's management In
cludes good and liberal advertising.
The show was to an admiring au
dience: its funny side was enloyed im
mensely and the pathetic incidents met
equal appreciation." The prices at the
Academy tonight are, gallery, 15 cents;
balcony '-"S and 35; orchestra. Rnd or
chestra circle, 33; parlor chairs. CO.
The Girl I l eft llchlnd Me,
If It be true that the nubile nro the
best critics, then "The Girl I Left Be
hind Me," which will be seen at the
Academy on Tuesday evening-, has
nothing to complain of, as to the recep
tion with which It has been received
on both sides of the Atlantic. For two
seasons It packed the principal the
ater In New York City and is now
Playing to enormous business in Lon
don, England. In fact everywhere this
piay nas neen presented it has been
received with open arms. The secret
of Its success Is undoubtedly due to the
fact that It appeals to all classes of
society, and while it Is a war play It
contains none of those noisy features
which often keep people awav from
plays of that character. It will be pro
duced as a benefit for Company D.
Thirteenth regiment.
.Mnntcll Wednesday Evening.
Lovers of finished acting will enlov a
treat Wednesday evening, when Hubert
Mantell, the celebrated romantic actor
comes to the Acndemy in one- of the
strongest plays of tho present day. It
is entitled "The Husband." by Espy
Williams, and gives Mr. Mantell ample
opportunities to produce sumo most ef
fective acting as It is upon the' "Fed
ora" order, the play in which Mr. Man
tell made his bin success some years
ago.
Hoyt's Military Comedy.
Charles Hoyt's spectacular military
comedy, "A Milk White Flag," which
ran last season at Hoyt's theater In
New York city, and for over 100 nights
In Chicago, will be seen one night at
the Academy. Thursday night. The au
thor has seized upon many opportun
ities for twitting our amateur soldier,
and from this material has constructed
a comedy more elaborate than any of
his previous efforts.

and -a Number of Impromptu Ad
dresses Were Delivered Pro- "
gres of Work on tho Uomc.
Under the auspices of the Commer
clal Travelers' association of Scranton
a rally was held Saturday evening in
ioung Men s Christian association hall.
followed by a banquet at the St. Charles
hotel, the object of the celebration be
ing to stimulate local enthusiasm to'
ward the raising of $1,000 as a subscript
tion to the building of the national
home for indigent commercial travel
lers.
W. A. Coleman, of the Weston mill,
was chairman of the meeting. There
was a number of out-of-town persons of
prominence present, among tnem be
ing Mayor George E. Green, of Bing

ter, N. Y., secretary and treasurer of
the association; George H. Strome,

vllle, N. Y.
Mayor Green was the speaker of the
evening. Hespoke about the early strue
gle of the Home committee and smooth
ed them over. No more loyal citizens.
said he, are there than the commercial
travelers. The national association
numbers 6,000 members; therefore they
have suffered from lnck of organization
He urged that men be sent out to carry
tne gospel of organization.
He spoke eloquently on the need of a
home for travelers in their old age. and
he resented thelmputation that it would
degrade into an asylum for bummers
and Brots. He was proud to say that the
element of this character In the asso
ciation was in no time more than a
handful, and that even that small per
centage Is fast dwindling away. In
conclusion he hoped that the building
would be dedicated In October, 1896.
Mr. Roche's Resolution of Thanks.
Speeches were made by other mem
bers, and then on motion of John E.

called, and special thanks are due and
tendered to the gentlemen, officers, ex
ofticers and members of the association,
who have addressed us, and we pledge
the officers our warmest support In
their efforts to complete the building."
Mayor Green presided at the banquet
and called for Impromptu responses to
the toasts that were offered. It was
pledged around the festive board to
subscribe J1.OO0 toward the building
lunu (i me nome.
The subject of erecting it Is one that
has occupied the minds of the commer

manent organization was also formed.
A committee was appointed to obtain a
charter and this committee after con
sulting eminent legal authority, decided
special legislation would be necessary
In order to attain the object desired.
Judge V. E. Peckham, of Jamestown,

act of incorporation. It was presented
to the legislature of New York state at
the session of 1892; It passed both
houses and was signed by then Gover
nor Roswell P. Flower on February 25.
At the second annual convention of the

A Specimen Hook of Great Value.
The Tribune manager was the recipi
ent on Saturday of a new and una
bridged specimen book from the John
son Type Foundry, Philadelphia. It
contains 950 pages of types, borders, or
naments, rules, etc., of their own manu
facture, elegantly printed on fine paper
and the typography is such as would
confer credit upon any artist In the
country. We prize this book above any
or its kind we have ever previously re
ceived, and, no doubt, we will spend
many an hour pouring over its con
tents in order to keep Tne Tribune cus
tomers supplied with the latest materi
al .in the printing world. No Institu
tion In the world has done more for the
fraternity than MacKetlar, Smiths &

them on this, their last effort.
