The programme thereafter was most beautifully nrranged by Laura Wade Rice, ot the Lutheran church. The hymns were finely ren dered by the members of the Sunday Hchool. Part second of the programmo consisted of tho reading of ten para graphs concerning the Tressler Luth eran Orphans' Home at Toysvlllo by ten classes of the Sunday school. Rev. Mr. Gift also gave un interesting ad dress. There were celebrations yesterday at the Welsh Congregational church. West Market street. In the afternoon tho exercises were In charge of chil dren of the Dutch Gap mission and in the evening the Sunday school of tho church had charge.

There was special music by the choir and a special sermon by tho pastor. Appropriate children's day ser vices were also held Tn tho Hickory street Baptist church. Although many of the churches In our city have gone far ahead of "All Souls" In thcelaborateness with which they celebrato children's day, the lit tle church on Pino street takes the humble place with some grace and is glad of tho attention given the beauti ful festival. One reason is that at All Souls the festival was first ob served In Scranton. So that Unlver sallsni Is In a way responsible for the local observance, aa It Is Indeed re sponsible for the observnnce at' large. HORNING SERMON. Tho sermon at tho morning service' yesterday was preached to the boys and girls. Prom the text: "And ho shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water." Psalma 1-3. The preacher pointed out things that tho tree needs to make It grow, soil, air, heat and light, and then presented things suggested by these that mako SOUlS CrOW. TllPS flrHt luna w-L. I school.

The Sabbath school of tho Simpson Methodist church observed Children's day yesterday morning. The regular inornlng services of the church nnd Sabbath school we-e merged Into this observance, and the excellent pro gramme was carried out under tha su pervision of Superintendent George L. Peck. The decorations were beautiful. The altar lalllrgs and pulpit platform were hidden In a mass of flowers and Inside the railing In the centre of this inclos ed space a miniature fountain sur rounded by muss, green leaves, plants and llowfis was In full play. On either side were placed two tables completely lined beneath a mass of fragrant flowers, Swinging from tho drooping ends of noma streamers was a wreath In which was suspended a cage, and from the cage almost continuously floated the sweet noted caroling of a canary. On each window sill around tho auditorium were placed ferns and flowering plants, and as If to finish off the bright faces and pretty costumes of the Interested chlldien fully com pleted an Inspiring scene. The decorations were due to thu ef. fortB of a committee, of which Miss Carrie Darling was chairman, Th6 exercises opened with singing by the school, assisted by the church choir. After prayer the choir rendered a se lection and then the little ones of the primary department gave their part of the exercises and their efforts were a credit to themselves and the earnest efforts of their Instructor, Mrs. J, B. Sweet. These youthhil participators began TIIE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-MONDAY MORNING.

Master Walter Smith then declaimed In his usual catching stylo nnd tho exer cises came to a close with tho singing of tho doxology. Rev. L. W. Peck, D. D,, pronounced the benediction and the audience thor oughly satisfied with the pleasant and entertaining exercises, filed out. Children's day waa observed yester day by tho Sabbath school of the Scranton Street Baptist church. In tho morning Rev. S. F. Matthews, pastor, preached a special sermon to tho chil dren and th'elr parents. Instead of the evening service, the children rendered u programmo entitled, "Children's Day Echoes." For tho occasion, a great deal ot pains had been taken by the decorat ing committee, of which Dr. B. G. Bed doe was chairman, to have the audi torium present an attractive appear- arice. On the walls at convenient places, hung largo wreaths of laurel (lowers, from near each vestry door, a streamer of laurel leaves and flowers was carried to a central point In tho pulpit alcove. In this alcove the best efforts of the committee wero seen. A large anchor, representing "Hope," was placed upon a bank of beautiful flow era and green leaves. Tho anchor was made of laurel flowers, lntersnersed with roses, etc. On either side, ar ranged on stands wero vase3 of beau tiful roses and in front Just Inslda tho altar railing waa a veritable bower of green and flowering plants. FEATHERED SONGSTERS. The altar railing and the organ plat form waa also decorated in keeping with the other decorations. To add to tho beauty nnd pleasure, two cages, containing canaries, were suspended from tho chandeliers and ever and anon their sweet carolings would fill tho auditorium. The choir had been aug mented and materially assisted In the singing. Tho superintendent of the school, Dr. B. CI. Beddoe, presided, and the exer cises wero opened with an organ vol untary by Miss Clara Reid, organist.

REDUCTION HEAVIER THAN WAS EXPECTED -Trouble at the South Mill When the Pay Envelopes Were Opened. NUMDER OF MEN QUIT ON THE SPOT Others Thronton to 1'ollow Their 1'xnmplo Hut Wero Dissuaded nnd Last IlvQiiing tho Coinpmiv's.Miiim gur .11 a do tho Statement Thnt tho Trnublo Ilnd Been Settled Mr. Wehruui Hnys tho Men Misunder stand tha Condition of Allnirs, Some little flurry was occasioned down at tho South works of th Lack awanna Iron and Steel company, Sat urday, when the men received their envelopes for the first month's work since tho shut-down, nnd discovered that the "tonnage" hands had suffered heavy reductions in wages, On tho basis of 100 tons, by which the wages are reckoned, .the pliers were cut from 65 cents to 33 cents; tho clip pers, from U to 37; gnggcrs, from' 41 to 37; drillers, from iD to 34; stralghtcn crs, from 66 to CG; Inspectors, from 65 to 4G, nnd so on down tho list of all men paid by the ton. When work was resumed a month ago tho notlco announcing resumption stated that thero would bo a reduc tion of wages averaging twelve per cent. In nearly all departments. Sat urday morning when their pay en velopes showed them that the average reduction of twelve per cent, meant that tho cutting ran from three per cent, to nearly fifty, they were highly indignant, nnd many of those who re ceived itho heaviest cuts quit work on the spot, HEAVY SUFFERERS. Tho eight "clippers," who were nmong the heaviest sufferers by tho re- uuciion, toon their cans nnd went ,home without the formality of even announcing their intention. Others were threatening to follow their ex ample, but were dlssauded by Sup erintendent John O. Stanton, who ar gued with them that they were doing the company an Injustice to cripple the mill, and besides that It would be un wise for them to leave work, even though it might be unsatisfactory to them, unless they had something elso In view. This reasoning had -the ef fect of Inducing nearly all of itheso lat ter to return to their work. The day force of "clippers" also struck when they got around In tho morning and found how they had been treated. This left many tons of rails undipped, and as nobody can do this work with nny degree of speed, ex cepting men trained specially to It, there was much uneasiness on the part of the company. Yesterday a gang of machinists were put at the work, but they, with all their skill, made only slow progress. Last evening General Manager Wen hum said that the trouble had been ad Justed and that the men would be found at their posts this morning. The whole trouble, he said, resulted from a misunderstanding of the situation. New labor-savlng machinery had been put In the mill during the shut down, he said. This machinery will mako It possible to vastly Increase the tonnnge without Increasing tho labor. When tho men become proficient in woiklng the new machinery and the mill works at Its full capacity the wugea will be found to bo quite reasonable. FORCED TO DO IT. Tho company has been forced to make a cut, Mr. Wehrum said, if it would start tho mills. , Some men, it was deemed, were being paid too much and some too little. Tho men who were receiving tho big wages wero therefore cut and tho poorer paid hands wero not molested. Not a single man who is paid by the day suffered a cut, Mr. Wehrum said. There has been a general reduction in steel rail mill wages all over the coun try, ho went on to say, and in most places not only tho tonnage men, but the laborers and everybody else em ployed In and around tho mill were compelled to submit to reduced wages. As prices now stnnd the company loses exactly what Is paid in wages. Pig Iron is S14 a ton and rails soil fnr $17 a ton. The margin of $3 will scarce ly pay the expenses that aro to be computed before wages are given any consideration at all, so whatever Is paid in wages is at the present time a sheer loss to the company. AUYOR BAILEY'S SUNDAY SERVICES. Passes Judgment oil n Dozen or So Lnw Breakers. Mayor Bailey held police court -yesterday morning. The police station was crowded with Saturday night vic tims and the hearings were very live ly. Daniel O'Boyle, Thomas Carroll and James Brown were sent to the county Jail for a month's rest.

Tirran took a trip to the county Jail yester day at his honor's suggestion. Patrolman Gscheldle, fatklns, Desk Sergeant Illdgway and e wag on were necessary to remove Anthony Began from Central Park garden Sat urday night. He was fighting drunk. However, he had $5 left and ho gave It to Mayor Bailey. WRDNESDAV IS ARCANUM DAY. Excursion to Harvey's I.nUo Will Bo n I.nrgo Our.

Smith, ot, Waverly, and Eugene Fellows, ot this city, returned Saturday from West Point, where they took the entrance examination. On the result of a competitive examination held In this city Congressman Connell named Mr. Smith as candidate for the cadctshlp and Mr. Fellows was selected as alternate. Both failed to pass tho etitranco ex aminations, but mado a fine showing and there Is llttlo doubt but that their cases will be reconsidered. Mr. Smith did not quite come up to tho standard In mathematics and a slight physical defect was discovered In Mr. Fellows, which tho local examining board of physicians did not consider worthy of notice, WORK OF LAUGHING GAS. Alatlc a Demented Alan Out of Darlholo mew Longlnotll for a Time Token to the Hospital John Longlnottl Is the proprietor of a peanut stand nt Pcnn and Lackawanna avenues which was tho scene of a queer commotion Saturday. John has a. bro ther Batholomew, who for twenty min utes astonished the neighborhood with hysterical laughter and screams. A crowd gathered and stood outside ot the market. AH that could be seen was the boblng bodies of two men who apparently were holding some ono to tho floor under the counter and out of sight of the crowd. Then the Lackawanna hospital am bulanco came tearing up to the corner and the struggling man was carted Inside, whero two men held his arms and legs. The driver of the ambulance Btarted tho horses and tho mysterious occu pants wero driven out ot sight. Inquiry revealed the fact that Bartholomew was suffering from the effects of an overdose of "laughing gas," which was given him by a central city dentist. Mr. Longlnottl, tho brother of tho victim, says that Bartholomew was suffering from toothache nnd at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon went to a dentist and tho latter said: "It Is a pity to pull out thoso teeth," as den tists do say, and he suggested that tho aching molars be filled. Bartholomew consented. After the teeth wero filled with silver he left tho office apparently fres from tho pain. Soon afterward, however, the teeth again began to uche and at 0 o'clock Saturdny night Bartholomew again went to tho dentist's parlors. The next th'at his brother saw of him, was when he entered the peanut stand about three-quarters past nine and Wo cannot emphasize too strongly tho truth contained In the following bargains: Test our veracity and Judgment and you'll be the gainer.

"Ho gave me something," mutter- eu uartnoiomow, anu wmie no wus talking he began to swing his arms about; his eyes blazed with' an unnat ural lire, his lips curled and suddenly he let forth a terrlllo yell, halt laugh, half screech. His brother grabbed tho young man but he could not hold him. Then he called for help and two men caugh't Bartholomew and threw him to the floor.
