In Trinity Lutheran church last night
Rev. Edwin Lunn Miller, the pastor,
delivered his sermon continued from
last Sunday on "The Sin of Tnchas
tity." His remarks are of more than
ordinary Import, following the separate
meetlnps of etirly in the week for men
and women when addresses were made
by Mayor Connell, Dr. W. W. Ives and
Dr. L. M. Gates and by Mrs. Frances
U. Swan and Dr. Anna C. Clarke.
In the first part of his sermonic ad
drers. Hast Sunday. Mr. Miller dwelt
upon the multiformity and the enormity
of the sin. l.cibt night he spoke upon
the chief feeders of the evil and the
safeguards against it. Ills text was
from I Thevsalunians, lv, 3-7. Much
that he said was an indorsement of the
sentiments expressed during the meet
ings for men and women during the
week. He remarked:
"It Is deplorable that a lack of par
ental authority must head the list of
cuupea for uuchastity. It is admitted
that some eons and daughters have
careful conscientious parents, whose
efforts go for naught. Hut 'parents,'
'parents' and 'parents' was the keynote
of warning in all the addresses of the
eirly week. Ale the parents of the
257 girls, who, according to Mayor Con
neU's statement, walk the streets In
the evening, exercising their proper
duty? Possibly some parents are guilty
of over-confidence In their children,
and would resent from a kind friend
any Indication that the girl or the boy
is wayward. This does not lessen the
responsibility of the pastor or the
friend: It Is the duty of each to put
parents on their guard before the bell
has tolled the downfall.
Io Not llcgin I'arly Enough.
"To all things, there Is a beginning.
And so In reference to lack of parental
control It will be found nine times out
or ten that we do not begin early
enough In restraining children; in many
cases we are afraid of them; we com
mand and are disobeyed; we protest
and are Insulted and so It goes. The
children go and come as they are per
mittedand who Is to blame? The
children or the parents?
"Bad literature and vile pictures
which unfortunately flood the land have
much to do with fascinating the young
mind. The bill boards, the Illustrated
papers found in lesser barber shoos,
cigarette pictures and many other
things are Illustrated schools of vice.
If they cannot be kept from the sight of
the child, the child should be taught
their harm.
"With girls, poor girls who work In
factory and store, the love of money be
gets possession of It. How? Often
through the barter of virtue. Degrad
ing popular amusements such as the
cheap dance halls are a common medi
um between Innocence and degradation.
The stage must not be wholly con
demned. It has Its good features and It
has Its bad ones, and every parent
ought to be satisfied what kind of a play
the children attend.
No .More l!l M Wxntei.
"An abundance of restrictions against
unchastlty are provided. Of law there
Is a sufficiency, so It Is needless to speak
of or suggest new ones while the old
laws are not carried out. As to licensing
prostitution, the plan Is, first, counter to
good morals; second, it really provides
no physical safeguard according to the
testimony of physicians themselves.
We have enough licensed evils; let us
put no more blots on bur national repu
tation. "Unless a man has religious principles
firmly rooted in him he will fall If as
sailed under certain circumstances, and
parents are guilty of a grave error and
running a fearful risk If they do not In
culcate In the child the love of God, the
church and tho Sunday school. Re
solves go for naught If unfortified by
prayer and nearness to God. "Let Him
that thinketh he standeth take heed lest
he fall."
"With your religious precept and ad
vice add an attractive home life. The
combination Is one of the strongest
against worldly temptation and gross
desire. Tlje father should not be too
busy, and the mother should not be
too petulant to Join In their children's
fun and encourage them In It. This ex
ample will guard against a bad result
If the child Is ordered to choose this
or that amusement, or, worse still, Is
left to choose for Itself. With a good
home life, habits of Industry should be
encouraged.
Church I Not CniMem
"The church Is not guiltless. It Is
somewhat neglectful; It Is careless.
What does It provide In tho way of
sociability? Tou say the church Is a
religious not a social Institution. So
It is. Hut does It forget that Christ
began his public ministry at a mar
riage; that he enjoyed frequent visits
to the house of Lazarus; that he ate
with publicans and sinners. Let us try
an Imitation. . It Is true that many
church gatherings purport to afford
pure social enjoyment, but It Is also true
that the average affair of this kind is
connected with some scheme to make
money from the liberal giver, and the
poor man Is disgusted.
"The social part of the problem, I
will go so far as to say, merits the
attention of the state. The Athenians
had their feaBts and games; so did the
Romans In the great Colleslum; con
tinental countries have their distinc
tive public amusements, but It Is often
deplored that we live so fast as to neg
lect the social requirements of our na
ture and particularly of the poorer
classes. Cannot a Christian nation pro
vide clean amusements for Its citizens?
Would It not be profitable? We have
our Young Men's and Young Women's
Christian associations . and the like.
They are good and commendable, but
there are distinctively social pleasures
which they cannot give, but I have
nothing to suggest on a subject which
may better be left to practical reformers
and philanthropists. . ,,
"Hearken unto me now, therefore, O
ye children, and attend to the words of
my mouth.
. "Let not thy heart decline to her
ways, go not astray In her paths.
"For she hath cast down many
wounded; yea. many strong' men have
been slain by her.
"Her house is the way to hell, going
down to the chambers of death."

TWO CASES OF TREMENS.
Wonderful Strength Displayed by a
Drink-Crazed Trump.
There were two violent cases of de
lirium tremens at the station house Sat
urday night. A tramp who pave his
name as James Scanlon nnd his home
Forest City, came to the station houso
Intoxicated about 7 o'clock In the even
ing and asked for lodging. Half an hour
after he had been placed In a cell he
became violently affected with delirium
tremens nnd In his frenzy broke the
faucet and water pipe oit the washbowl
In his cell, flooding the cell room.
Sergeant Pel tor and Patrolman Pal
mer had all they could do to overpower
him and put him In another cell. For
about an hour he lay writhing in pain,
frothing at the mouth and grinding his
teeth. Dr. Fulton relieved him some
what and In the morning he was so far
recovered to be out of danger.
Cclcbrntinc HIh Wedding.
The other case was that of Patrick
Qulnn, of the North End, the same Indi
vidual who was brutally assaulted In
Raymond court Thursday night and left
lying bleeding and unconscious on tho
cobble stones. Qulnn was married some
time last month and has been on a
drunk ever since his wedding day.
His friends took him to the station
house last night and asked to have him
locked up to keep him away from the
bottle. Ho was placed In a cell and
went quietly to sleep. Towards morn
ing ho beenme delirious and suffered
excruciating agony for several hours,
being finally relieved by the ministra
tions of the police surgeon. Dr. Fulton.
Alderman Millar In police court yester
day sent Qulnn to the county Jail for
sixty days.
Wife Looking for n Divorce.
Qulnn's wife Is looking for a divorce.
Friday night last she encountered
Patrolman May on Washington avenue
and after relating her sad and possibly
unique story, demanded that the patrol
man write her out a divorce.
The policeman thought her deserving
of one, but Informed her that as yet the
divorce laws had not facilitated matters
so that divorces can be had on applica
tion to the nearest policeman, but ex
pressed the belief that such a thing was
among the possibilities of the near
future. Mrs. Qulnn, at the officer's sug
gestion, will consult the courts.
SOURCE OF THE LACKAWANNA
Rival Companies lighting to Secure It
for a Water Atipplv.
Sheriff Leonard.of Susquehanna coun
ty, was In the city Saturday serving
writs In an equity suit which has been
brought In the courts of that county by
the Valley Supply Water company
against the Vondllng Water company,
the Fall Brook Water company. Con
tractors Warren Tappan and James De
vine and the Delaware and Hudson
Canal and Railroad company.
The complainant company comprises
Scranton capitalists; namely, John Jer
myn, L. A. Watres, J. C. McClure, O.
D. 8hepherd and C, P. Jadwln. The
suit Is to restrain the railroad company
from seizing the source of the Lacka
wanna river at Stillwater, above For
est City. Not long ago the Valley Sup
ply company, by right of eminent do
main, seized about five acres around the
source of the river and filed a bond of
$5,000 In the court as an Indemnifying
guarantee.
The railroad company alleged that
the damage done by the seizure of the
source of the river means to them not
thousands, but hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Before the decision of the
court was handed down, the railroad
company began the construction of a
dam near the source. The court of Sus
quehanna granted a temporary Injunc
tion and the contractors, Warran, Tap
pan and James Devlne, were stopped
from proceeding further with the work.
The answer of the respondents re
cites that the Valley Water Supply
company did not In compliance with the
provisions of Its charter carry on Its
work of construction and complete the
same within Ave years and, therefore,
all the rights and privileges of Its let
ters patent are null and void.

THE W ATKINS CONCERT.
Circular Issued by the Coramlttco Hav
ing the Matter In Charge.
The following circular has been Is
sued by the committee having In charge
the John T. Watklns testimonial con
cert, which consists of Judge H. M.
Edwards, chairman; C. P. Colvln, sec
retary; Henry T. Koehler, treasurer;
Hon. John E. Barrett, Hon. Alex. T.
Connell, R. G. Brooks, J. R. Cohen, A.
F. DufTy, Frank B. Martin, Alex. Dunn,
Jr., Fred C. Hand, Professor T. J.
Davies, Haydn Evans:
At the suggestion of several friends of
John T. Watklns, he has decided to enter
the Royal Academy of Music, London, for
a term of three years, to prepare him
self for opera, oratorio and concert work.
The suggestion Is the result of an earnest
conviction existing In the minds of mnny
of the cltlsens of Scranton that Mr. Wat
klns should devote his whole JJme to mu
sic, on account of his acknowledged abil
ity In this direction.
In order to accomplish this purpose suc
cessfully, it Is necessary that Mr. Watklns
should be assisted In a substantial man
ner, and for this reason It has been de
termined to raise a fund by subscription
and a concert. The committee feels amply
Justllled In appealing1 to the people of our
city In this behalf, because the benefi
ciary of the fund fully deserves our assist
ance. For years he has generously re
sponded to the calls of charitable and
other organizations, nnd no worthy causa
has called upon him in vuln. He has lib
erally assUted others. It is our oppor
tunity now to assist him.
Subscriptions may be forwarded to
Henry T. Koehler, Scran to, treasurer of
tho fund. The dally papers will announce
the tlmo and place of the concert.

Mark Twain lays "cauliflower Is noth.
Int; but cabbace with a collets duca
tlon." That's about the difference at
tho present time between made to or
der and ready mudu clothing. Tho
name's different, but aa far as practi
cal service and actual appearance aro
concerned It would take an expert to
tell one from the other If WE aell you
tho ready made. We'vo made a repu.
tatiou in this line and couldn't have
done so, had we not had better goods
to offer than the other fellows and at
lower price. We've a stock of goods
that an artist would revel In full of
blending colors and suggestive strong,
ly ot the latest fashion plates.
Which Will You Have?
Not where shall you buy will be tho
question to decide after you've paid
us a visit. You'll see what you Ilka
right at the start, and the further you
look the more that you like will you
see. The prices will be right we'vo
attended to that; marked them low
enough to have r.o question about the
sailing. And the plain, the fancy, the
gav, the neat, the gaudy, will be found
here in great variety and to suit any;
