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.

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,

After prayer the choir rendered a se
lection and then the little ones of the

preached a special sermon to tho chil
dren and th'elr parents. Instead of the

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

era and green leaves. Tho anchor was
made of laurel flowers, lntersnersed
with roses, etc. On either side, ar

tiful roses and in front Just Inslda tho

bers, an Interesting address was made

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.

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

him something and hind afterward
kicked him out of then oftlcc. Lonsl
nottl, tho brother, noticed that Bar
tholomew was shaking from head to
foot. Mis voice was quavering Mid
high-pitched.
"What's tho matter with you7" asked
the brother, becoming frightened.
"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

he let forth a terrlllo yell, halt laugh,

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.
The young man wns screaming nnd

This Is what attracted tho crowd. The
