Miss Sadlo Kaiser, who lins been fill

vicinity for sumo weeks, la meeting
with crcat success. A short time ago
Hiio visited I'rof. Inncs, the leader of
the fnnioun Innes band. Although there
were a dozen applicants waiting, ho
gave her a licarlnu' at once, and nftcr
she had .ang, engaged her on the spot
for a concert a few nights later, at the
Manhattan theatre. She sang there
before a largo nudlence, and although
she had never sang with the band be
fore, received an enthusiastic recall,
and a lino bouquet. SSe could not re
spond, however, ns she had no more
music arranged for the band. Even
the band applauded her-and Bho had to
appeal several times and bow her ac
knowledgments. Miss Kaiser will re
turn Wednesday or Thursday, ns she Is
to sing at tlio concert In the armory
April 1, In which Egbert, the famous
violinist, will appear. Wllkes-Barre

A woman who Is evidently very much
opposed to the Seranton Hallway com
pany's present coal-carrying device,
writes aa follows: ,
Although questions of such great Im
port nro now agitating tho country, do
not let us, In our Interest In them, forget
tho needs of our own city. I have Just
teturned from a visit In a distant town
of some two or three months, and, of
course, noticed many changes on coming
back, but what struck me most forcibly
was seeing a car filled with coal coupled
to an electric car. I could not at ilrst
believe that my eyes saw aright, for It
seemed liieredllilo to mo that tho peo
ple of Seranton should have been mndo
to suffer such an outrage. Several peo
ple have spoken to me since then, nnd
many have been tho complaints heard
on all sides. Tho noise Is something fear
ful, and I know of one sick woman
whoso nerves suffered ngonlcs whenever
the ear went by. Horses are all afraid
of it. Ono of our well-known citizens
nearly met with a bail accident tho other
day "from tho terror of his horses on
seeing it. In summer the dust from tho
loaded ears will bo dreadful, and Scran
ton Is not such a clean place now, thnt
we can very well stand any more dirt.
1 do not understand why, for tho con
venience of a few men. so many families
along tho route of the People's car should
be mndo to suffer. It has never been
found necessary to carry coal In this way
before, why should It now? Can not
something bo done? In the name of the
sufferers I ask It.

Patrons of tho All-right Library
have recently missed tho beautiful
portrait of the founder, Mr. J. J. All
bright, which for some tlmo hns grac
ed the space over the great oaken
mantel in the reading room. A short
tlmo ago tho portrait was loaned for
an exhibition In New York. It will
hold additional Interest to the Scran
ton public now as It was the gift of
Mr. William T. Smith, who today Is
sadly welcomed back to his homo after
his last journey, by a multitude who
loved and honored him nnd who are
deeply shocked at his sudden death.
Mr. Smith Induced Mr. AUbrlght to set
for the portrait to Chartran, who at
that time was In America.
All members of the Otis Whist club

There Is no sort of doubt that the
patrons of tho street railway are safer
In riding In company with prisoners
In bandcuffs or in charge of officers
than with lots of Individuals not thus
guarded who patronize tho trolley
cars and who are not labelled as dan
gerous; but nfter all the Idea of be
ing thus closely brought into contact
with crimlnnls Is not pleasant. An
other disagreeable feature which
seems not to have been touched upon
Is that tho children should not bo
subjected to such associations. Near
ness to criminals Is not desirable for
the rising generation and the morbid
taste thus fostered to becoming en
tirely too prevalent. The procession
of children which follows the arrest
of a "drunk" on the street Is always
an unpleasant picture and one that
many sensible officers attempt to
eliminate. To habitually take little
children In street cars where their
sensibilities are shocked, or their
morbid curiosity excited by the sight
at closo range of thieves nnd crim
inals In general, Is to be deprecated
even more than the contamination of
their elders by the same process. Mr.
Sllliman's stand in the matter Is to bo
commended at least on this ground.

At Holy Trinity Lutheran church
yestordny morning Jtev. Charles Gk
Spleker, tho pastor, preached from St.
Luke, xxlll:S9-43, "And one of the mnl
fnctors which were hanged railed on
Hint, saying If thou bo Christ save
thyself and us. But tho other answer
ing rebuked him saying: Dost not thou
fear God, seeing thou art In tho same
condemnation? and we Indeed justly,
for wo receive the due reward of our
deeds; but this man has done nothing
amiss, nnd ho said unto Jesus: Lord,
remember me when thou comest into
Thy kingdom, and Jesus said unto him,
Verily I say unto thee, today shnlt thou
bo with' Me in Paradise," He said:
Of Christ it had been foretold, by the
prophet, that Ho should bo counted
among tho ovtl decrs. And so it was ful
filled, for no sooner had Jesus begun with
Ills public cxerclso of His ofilco than
tho Jews spoke of Him, as Ho himself
tells us. John caino neither eating nor
drinking, and they say ho hath a devil.
The non of man came eating and drinking
und they say, behold a man gluttonous
and a wine bibber, a friend of publicans
and slnnets, Again tho Pharisees mock
ingly said of Him. this man recclveth
blnmrs and eatcth with them. By which
they would have tho Impression go forth
that Chi 1st was no better than those
with whom Ho tssoclated. They called
Him a sainarltan. 'Ihey denounced Him
us n triitor. and tnld Ho blasphemed.
They handed Him over to Pilate as ono
who had consulted against the govern
ment, a rebel. Ho was not only classed
with the evil doers in general, but Ho was
reckoned nmcinc the criminals, the .'cry
outcasts of humanity.
PBOPHECY OF ISAIAH.
Tho prophecy of Isaiah was fuhllled.
Jesus was crucified In u place whero the
common criminals were executed, and
two malefactors were crucified with Him.
Tho ono on His right, the other on His
left. Jesus In tho middle, as though He
had been the woist of the three. But not
only on earth was Ho reckoned among
tho transtressors, but also In heaven,'
for Ho was accounted the transgressor of
all transgressors. On Him lay tho sin of
the wholo world. Tho wages of sin Is
death, and as lie had taken upon Him
self the sin of tho world, according to
Divine Justice, ho suffered death jttbtly.
Tho two men crucified with illm were
called malfactors or thieves, who had
been guilty of that for.vvhlch the law re
quired tho penalty of death to be paid.
They hung there as a result of their
rrime. They died justly, having deserved
it by their acts. Although they both were
common criminals, they differed vast
ly. Tho ono was a hardened, callous sin
ner, who, when ho heard tho rabble
around tho cross mocking Jesus, also
railed and mocked Him. Facing death
Ho yet scoffed nnd sneered; he went
down to his destruction without repent
ance nnd tho fear of God. But although
bellnglng to tho samo class and no doubt
having been a partner In crime with this
hardened sinner, tho other Is filled with
higher thoughts. His heart is moved.
Ho opens his lips and reproves the mock,
er, reminding him of tho fact that now In
that last hour It Is time to let mocKcry
alone and think of God nnd Ills Judgment
to which both will so soon have to ap
pear. What a contrast wo have. Whilst tho
one was hardened nnd stubborn In his
wickedness, this one was repentent. He
was lined with remorse. Terror overcamo
him at tho thought of tho coming Judg
ment, and Luko In his gospel tells us how
in all sincerity ho turns upon the re
viler and says, "Dost thou not fear God,
seeing thou art In tha samp condemna
tion? nnd wo justly, for wo 'received tho
duo reward of our deeds; but this man
has dono nothing nmlss." Turning to
Jesus, ho tnld: "Lord remember mo
when thou comest Into Thv kingdom."
And hero wo have an example of a truly
penitent nnd believing sinner. In him wo
have the two parts of true repentance.
Confession and faith.
PROMPTED BY SORROW.
This confession was clearly prompted
by sorrow for his sins. Because he had
offended against God, thereforo ho was
willing and ready to bear the conse
quences of ills sins. If tho sins would
only bo forgiven nnd removed from the
sight of God. Not only did ho confess his
own guilt, but ho also defends the Inno
cence of Jesus. Ho has dono nothing
amiss. Novvhero in the wholo passion
history do wo hear such a testimony as
this thief gave. Hanging on the croas,
forsaken by all, guarded by tho Boman
soldiers, mccked by tho wealthiest of the
Jews in tho inldst of all that great gath
ering there was but one man who lifted
up his volco in defense of Jesus. It was
this mnlefactor.
Tho thief had true faith, as tho won
derful prayer Indicates. "Lord remember
mo when thou comest Into Thy king
dom.' Reviled and slandered, called a
blasphemer by tho scribes and Pharisees,
hanging on tho cross, bleeding and about'
to dlo yet tho thief recognizes In Him a
king nnd he humbly asks tho Lord to re
member him In His kingdom. No, ho
had no reference to an earthly kingdom,
for of what good would that bo to him.
He was about to leavo this world; ho saw
In Christ a heavenly king, having a spir
itual kingdom; he recognized that Jesus
was to establish a heavenly kingdom and
that Ho was to be a Saviour of tho soul
from death and sin nnd from hell. Ho
also knew that the Lord would not estab
llsh His kingdom by force of nrms, but
by sufferings, for his prnyer Implies that
ho regarded Jesus as Just entering into
His kingdom. Ho knew who nnd what
Christ Is and therefore Is not oifendlng
with his lowiyness, but openly confesses
Him beforo that crowd of murderers,
That which was hid from the wlso and
prudent, unknown to tho priest and
Lovito, wns manifest to this poor, miser
ablo culprit tho saving knowledge of
Christ Jesus. And so tho Lord at all
times preserves unto Himself a church,
a llttlo Hock of such ns know Htm us
their Hhcpherd, who trust In Him and
confess Illm beforo men even In the very
faco of death. If tho great and wlso vill
not confess Him, confet..,ors will ho
found among tho meanest of earth, yea,
even among tho criminals,
Jesus had been called tho friend of pub
licans and sinners, and though they
mennt it us a slander, yet they uttered
ono of tho grandest truths tho world ever
heard. In all Ills work and llfo Jesus
showed Himself tho friend of tho forlorn
and penitent sinners. Ho went about do
ing good and healing all that were op
pressed of tho devil "Peter." He camo
to preach good things to tho meek, to
bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim
liberty to the captives, to open tho prlton
to them thut were bound und to com
fort all them that mourn. Day and night
He was Intent on performing this, His
mission, and such a friend Ho remained
even when hanging on tho cross.
Tho petition of the tnief was soon an
swered. As soon as ho turned to tho
Lord in true repentance, he received the
arsurnnco that he should havo part in tho
kingdom of the Lord. Ho cried and tho
Lord heard hfm und saved him out of till
his troubles. As David wrote In his
thirty-fourth Psalm tho Lord heard him
and told him that very snmo day ho
should bo with Illm In paradise. In para
dise his soul was not to go first to
purgatory not to a plnco of probation,
but Into tho presenco of tho Lord.
llo camo Into tho world to save sin
ners. Ho had nothing to gain by prom
ising a portion in His kingdom to thnt
thief. There on tho cross it could only
bring Him greater humiliation, for it
gavo tho proud, self-righteous scribe and
Phnrlseo a now occasion to sneer nt Him.
But Ills great work was to save souls,
no matter what tho sneering multitudes
might say.
In tho Bight of Clod wo are no hotter
than tho thief. Beforo tho civil law wo
may Indeed bo reckoned good, law abid
ing citizens, but beforo God wo are out
laws. Wo havo transgressed Ills law,
violated His commandments, and wo nre
no better than tho outlaw In our text.
Wo havo deserved death as tho due re
word for our sins, but as this outlaw ob
tulned mercy so also wo can rest as
sured of obtaining tho samo If wo only
turn to tho Lord as ho did. Thcro nro
those who rise up and try to Justify them
selves, suylng they havo lived moral lives,
having dono no wrung to any man. "1
havo worshipped God from my childhood.
I am no thief." Indeed here it Is dcnllng
with nn almighty nnd eternal Infinite
righteous Jesus beforo who all who have
transgressed even In tho least aro guilty
of death, outlaws.
By His law wo aro all sinners for we
havo transgressed Ills holy and righteous
law, Ono has perhaps violated it ottenor
or committed greater sins than another,
but in His sight thcro Is no difference. Wo
nil havo sinned, nnd if wo hope to bo
saved like tho thief wo must appeal, not
to our own keeping of tho law, but nlono
to tho mercy of God nnd tho merits of
Christ Jesus
Look nt tho thief; hear him claiming no
kind of merit for himself; ho tries not o
frhlft his guilt or to excuso himself on
tho plea that because of this or that
one's treatment, or what another nus
said, or dono to him, ho was where ho
was. On tho contrary ho acknowledges
himself guilty of death, ho looks nlono
to Christ nnd appeals to Ills mercy.
And so there Is no other way for us to
bo saved. Wc may perhaps be able to
justify ourselves In the sight of men, but
If wo desire to be saved we must repent
of sin: wo must cmbrnco Jesus Christ; wo
must acknowledge, and that unreservedly,
thnt wo are sinners who are put out by
tho law and sentenced to eternal tor
ment. But Jesus Christ has redeemed us
from the curse of the law; He became a
curso for us, and by Him tho blessing of
Abraham comes vpon us. Beloved, let
every ono truly turn to this Loid Jesus
Christ and pray unto Illm, even as did
tho thief on tho cross, "Lord, remember
me. A poor, sinful creature, and grant
me a portion of thy kingdom."
Then, too, ns He heard shall we, for
so the Lord has promised it shall be.

MR. CONNELL'S VIEW.
Interview With Illm Appears in tho
l'liilndelphin Inquirer.
Congressman William Connell, of this
city, Ih quoted on the Cuban question
as follows In yesterday's Philadelphia
Inquirer among a number of other
interviews with representatives:
"I don't see that we can avoid feed
ing these starving Cubans, and that
means intervention. I have no doubt
that Spain will resent our taking care
of her people, for while we will not
furnish them with nrms and ammuni
tion, wc will supply them with food,
which will give them strength and the
life necessary to continue the insurrec
tion." "If Spain should object to our hu
mane Intervention and make it an ex
cuse for war, there will be nothing left
for us to do but light. I am not In
favor of war if we can honorably avoid
It and if it does come Spain must bo
the aggressor."

Great musicians uso KImballs. The
testimony ot musicians who command
a salary of from $1,000 to $2,000 for each
performance must be accepted as hav
ing weight. They, at least, escape tha
charge of not knowing what they ara
talking about. Lillian Nordlca says:
"The more I use my Kimball piano tho
better I like It." Jean Do Iteszke says:
"We haye concluded to purchase Kim
ball pianos for our personal use." John
Philip Sousa claims: "Tho Kimball
piano Is first-class In every respect."
Some of the most beautiful cases in
walnut, mahogany and oak can be seen
here. I havo some fine large pianos,
all colors, from $250 to $350, on easy
terms, and a term of lessons free.
