tmlto, who Will sing at Young Men's

work the Wilkes- Harre Record of yes
terday speaks as follows:
"Miss Mary Thomas Is a new star on
the musical horizon. She is only peep
ing over the edge Just now, but she
promises to become more brilliant us
the years go by. She is a tall, well
made, handsome young; woman and
possesses a-rich, and an exceptionally
.sweet contralto. Her first number, "The
Flower Sons," from "Faust," was per
fectly suns-, and it made a pronounced
Impression. It was a crucial test for
the young singer, but she stood It
bravely and scored a triumph. Her
second, "Good Bye," revealed a depth
of. feeling that surprised and delighted
the audience. Hut It was In the clos
ing selection, Thomas' '"Summer
Night." that Miss Thomas excelled.
Her rendition of this was exception
ally tine. She thoroughly Identified
herself with the piece, bringing out
Jl Its tenderness and nuthos. While
her lowest tones are remarkable, those
of thu middle and upper register are
sweet and true and she sings with
great Intelligence throughout.

THE WYOMING (LVSSIS.
Annual Session is in Progress at Calvary
Keformcd Church -Thoso Who Are in
Attendance Off Ucis l.lectcd.
In Calvary Reformed churrh. corner
of Monroe avenue and Gibson street,
the annual synod of the Reformed
churches of the Wyoming classjs,
opened last evening. The classls em
braces Lackawanna, Luzerne, Sullivan.
Columbia, Northumberland, Montour
and Carbon counties.
The synod was called to order by Ttev.
W. H. Stubbleblne, pastor of Calvary
church, who was vice president of the
classls last year. Prayer was offered
by Rev. A. Houtz. of Orangevllle, und
niter hymn singing the sermon was
preached by Kev. William I. Happel. j
of Wilkes-Harre. He spoke on the text j
found in St. I'uul, "Preach the word." j
What, said he. Is this word we are ex- j
horted fo preach? Some may lind In j
the Hible Idens suggesting geology, as- i
tronomy and other science: some llnd
In It u bisik of morality, 'iut what isj
the truth St. I'aul tells us to teach? It i
I t one grand truth that runs ull through !
the Ulble from beginning to end and !
binds It lnt'i one whole.
The cyseiitlul reipiiremen. Is that we '
must find unity. There Is one great I
truth fi.und running through Briituiv '
and In It the keynote of religion is con- !
talned. It Is hut which tells us that
Christ Is truth. The various books of .
the Hible may huve different thoughts t
running through them, but they till' I
center upon the one great and central
truth which ixilnts to the coming of j -Christ,
for the redemption of man from
the snares of the devil. .
WOULD IS MADK RETT EH. f
It is by preaching this that the world j
Is mndtf better. The two-fold object of
the Christian minister Is to encourage
men to become Christians and Chris- !
Hans to become better Christians. If ;j
we preach the word we will do thut j
which will make the world better and
will last not only for time, but for etern- I
Ity.

Hemmed to the House at Which lie Was
Shot to Get Assistance in Getting to a
Hospital.
Petersburg. ScranKm's most quiet
and best ordered, suburb, contributes
a rather exciting episode to the day's
doings.
Hotelkeeper Benjamin Thauer, of Ash
street, was uroused about I o'clock yes
terday morning by a noise In his bar
room and descending cautiously from
his living ouarters on the second rloor
espied two men behind the bar, one at
tne till and the other stunding guard
with a rocked revolver in his hand.
Mr. Tiiauer had a revolver, but being
u good wing-shot und like a true s)orts-
timu disliking not to give his game a
fair chance he called out. Intending to
frighten them and then get a pop at
them while they wt re on the run.
Hut they dldn r frighten for u cent.
Imtead they made u rush for the room
into which Mr. Thauer had retreated
when he heard one of them cull out
'Plug him Jack" and commenced
tiring through the door. They ulso tried
to batter It down with u monkey
wrench but falling in this they made
for a window and got out.
Just as the second man was climbing
out of the window Mr. Thauer got buck
nto the bar-room und tired. He then
went to the window and emptied his
revolver at the fleeing pair.
About ft n clock In the morning Mr.
Thauer was again aroused by the same
parties. In answer to a rap at his door
he went down and found a tramplsh
Kicking fellow who said that he' was
wounded and wanted ' to get into a
hospital, adding that as Mr. Thauer hud
wounded him, it was his duty to ussist
him in getting medical attendance.
Mr. Thauer quietly Informed his ner
vy caller that he would be nursing an
other wound If he didn't make himself
scarce and followed up the remark by
retiring t: get his revolver. When he
returned the nervy burglar had depart
ed. Tracks of b'ood on the porch and
about the- garden proved that the fel
low was telling the truth when he said
he was wounded. No tidings of a man
with a bullet wound could be gleaned
from the hospitals.
A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Town of Mooslo Visited by Flames and
Threo lluildlngs Burned Down.
A fire which visited . Mooslc at 2
o'clock yesterday morning destroyed
$30,000 worth of property. Three build
ings were burned to the ground. The
fire originated In the engine room of
the Mooslc Knitting mill, a corporation
which was recently organized and was
engaged in the manufacture of knitted
goods. The building adjoining it in
which was a barber shop, meat market
and undertaking establishment, was
swept, as was the residence occupied
by C. X, Lancaster and owned by Wil
liam Hailstone. The total insurance Is
said to amount to less than 416,000.
The knitting company was organized
u year ago. James Butler. John A. Gll
llck. and Michael McDonald, of Mooslc;
P. C. Connolly, of Minooka; and Philip
Foy, conductor on the South Side street
car line are the stockholders. About
three dozen girls were employed. The
mill pas In the first floor of the build
ing on the corner of South Main and
Spring streets. The second story was
taken up as a meeting room by five or
six different societies.
Fire companies from Avoca came to
the scene with their hose carriages but
the hose would not fit the hydrants In
Mooslc and assistance was impossible.
The building next to the mill was occu
pied by Walsh Brothers, stepsons of
Mr. Butler. They had very little insur
ance. Mr. Lancaster carried no insur
ance nn his furniture and Mr. Hailstone
none on the house.

street, at 2.30 o'clock Monday morning
and robbed of his watch and a small
amount of money which he had on his
person at the time.
Despite the efforts to keep it quiet the
affair leaked out yesterday and there
was much marvelling that such a deed
could happen In the very heart of the
city.
The police have a suspicion of who
the highwaymen are, and for the last
two duys have been doing some quiet
but ineffective work In trailing them
down,

INTENDS TO J1E BOTH
Select Council Kill tic Asked to Con
firm Koblinrj and Taylor.
HICKEY. AND HTZSIMHOXS
Both of Them Are Slated, Former for
Chief of tho Fire Department
and Latter for Captain
of Police.
Mayor Bailey will send tome of his i
appointments to the select council to- I
night for confirmation. He will nanv? ,
Captain Frank Robling and Joseph
Taylor as patrolmen and P. J. Hlckey
as chief of the fire department. The
Intention is about June 1 to promote
Robling or Taylor to the office of chief.
There ha3 been no announcement offic
ial or F-eml-oflicial as to which of them
will ultimately be made chief, but the
impression is that Holding will be the
mun; and that Taylor will wear a
lieutenant's uniform.
John FitzslmmonB Is slated for cap
tain, but tho appointment will not be
made tonight. Two weeks hence his
name will probably be sent to council
for confirmation.
Hlckey was told thut he would be
named for chief of the lire department
If he could give the mayor positive as
surance that select council would con
firm his appointment. It was reported
last night that a majority of the select
men will vote to confirm Hlckey, and
It Is therefore probable that the ap
pointment will be made tonight.
Patrolman John Mcilale was called
before Mayor Bailey yesterday after
noon und asked to refdgn. Ho refused
to do so. Since he went on the force
otie year und a half ago he has been
one of the most faithful officers on the
force and his habits have beep above
criticism, No charges have been pre
ferred against him and his resignation
Is usked solely for political reasons.
What action will now be taken in his
case remains to be seen.
Today Stephen Dyer, Thomas V.
Lewis and James Coleman will be
asked to hand their resignations to the
mayor.
Peter Haggerty, of the Twentieth
ward, will be appointed to succeed Mc
Hale on the police force. Ills name
was to be sent to select council tonight
but Mcllale's refusal to resign may
make a change of programme neces
sary. PAYING LICENSE MONEY.
