SNEAK THIEVES AT WORK.
Sneak thieves seem to find AVest
Scranton an easy "graft" during those
piping times of war. Yesterday morn
ing, shortly beforo noon, the bakety
shop at 2JS North Main nvenue, of
which Max Blumo Is proprietor, was
enteied and the contents of the money
drawer taken Nothing else was dis
turbed so tar as jr. Blunie could as
ceitaln. Theie Is no clue ns to the per
petiatois, or rather bold thieves.though
two or thiee suspicious-looking men
have been seen hanging about the
premises of late
Mr. and Mis. Blume, who teslde In
apartments above the store, were ab
sent at cliuich and It wns only upon
their leturn that the robbeiy was dis
covered. Mr. Blume went into the store
for some put pose and noticed that sev
eral in tides were dlsaiianged and an
Investigation followed The money
dtawei, open nnd bioken, Indicated
whut had taken place and left no doubt
nlso that something was taken fiom
the place. Thero was a small amount
of loose change in the dinner, how
much is not know n, but not more than
a few dollars, ns Mi. Blume Is not In
the habit of leaving a great quantity
in ine urnwer over night.
Entianco was gained by means of a
rear cellar door. From the cellar the
person or peisons got into the store.
Tho operations must have been gotten
through with quickly so ns not to at
tract much nttentlon from without.
Also the absence of the residents of tho
building must have been known. The
authorities have been notified.

"I nin the Good Shepherd, and I lay
Down My Life for the Sheep" The
old law, said tho speaket, contained
the shadow of tho new law. and the
new law Is the fullillment of tho old
Tho old law made sacrifices to God
When Christ came into the wot Id It
was divided in laws, phllosophi and
teachings He came to unite the dis
cordant elements, but in order to do
so It was necessary for God to die
While He was on eattlt, though, he
dwelt among his sheep, fed them,
guarded them and gave up his life for
them In order that He might never
desert the sheep He Instituted His
church and left His body and blood In
the presence of bread and wine,
St, Peter was installed as lie id of
the church. Befoto Chi 1st dlttf Ho
gave the biead and wine to the apos
tles and told them to eat and drink of
His body and blood He thus wiped
out the sacrifices of the old law and
Instituted the sactillces of the mass.

Patriotism in Simpson htirch.
'Patriotism" was the theme from

an eloquent seimon nt last evening's

serv.ee. Tho church was Tied to over

tion Joined in the singing of patriotic
hjmns From the top of the organ loft
hung three Immense flags. To the right
and left the beautiful Stars and Stripes
and from the centre the lone star flag
of Cuba.
In opening, he read the 137th Psalm,
which speaks of the longing of the then
captive Israelites to be once more a
free people
"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my
right hard forget her cunning
O, daughter of Babjlon, who nrt to be
destrojed, happy shall he be that re
wnrdeth thee as thou hast served us"
Referring then to the scenes attending
the retent departure of our soldier boys
to the ftont ns an "outburst of wel
come unparalleled," he said It recalled
the old dajs and meant to the observer
the fact that In answer to the country's
call the response camo back, "We are
coming 125,000 strong."
REASON AND CAUSE
Naturally there wus a reason and
cause for nil this and the reason was
that the president had need The cause
was to be found in that ptinciple of
patriotism which underlies our coun
try's history. The speaker quickly re
viewed the early dajs of the count! y
when we were passing through the
formulatlve period nnd seeking to fiee
ourselves from the control of the
mother count! j He brought his hear
ers up to the point where we, having
passed through all trfcciises of a coun
try struggling against odds for Its fiee
dom, felt for other peoples who were
thus aflllcted And though some might
ask 'Why are we fighting for Cuba
when she does not belong to us?" we
weie going forward to her assistance
tiue to our udheience to a principle
and the trust In the Infinite He Indi
cated by statistics fiat Cuba's struggle
was much the same us had been ours
and then reviewed this countrj's his
torj1 from Its dlscoveij up to the pres
ent time . "I am not a prophet, nor the
son of a prophet, but I take it that tlte
jellow fiag which flaunts Its folds over
a countrj which represents tjranny,
rapine, bloodshed and treacherj will
soon be counted not in the list of the
nations.
"We had offered to buy Cuba and
some Americans had tried to take her,
but Spain had said, No, we will never
give up Cuba until our honor is gone
At that rate Cuba should have been
ours long ago And now, In spite of
the 15,000 officers, the 200,000 men and
the $500,000,000 which Spain had staked
against the efforts of a poor people,
only 1,600,000 In number. It must lose
Cuba. The million and odd hud be
come 72,000,000 and w hat had been tried
by the Three Friends, Dauntless, Lau

by the wutships of the gteatest nation

Hl'HANGE WELLS.
Thnr Pore-tell Storms nnd Hasvo In
draughts and Outdinughts.
From tho Chicago Chronicle.
A series of blov Ing or "whistling"
wells as thej- uie called, in Polk coun
ty, ure ( ausing a good deal of discus
sion The wells are six in number anil
they range in depth from 120 to 160 feet,
but the ono owned by James Callln, irt
the town of Eureka, exhibits the most
remarkable features. It Is 120 feet deep
and was dug fifteen j'ears ago. Tha
fit st tvventj' feet Is hardpan nnd tha
1 eat coaie gravel Before a storm tho
wind blows out of this well with great
foice, making a. 1 oaring, moaning
sound that can be heard a great dis
tance This current of nlr is so hot
that water placed over the well will
boll in a few seconds The ruirent
blows out only befoto a storm, and tho
seveilty and dm ttii n ot the storm H
accuiately foretold by tho force of this
cutient and Its dutatlon.
In tho winter a current of air Is
drawn In be fine a change of weather,
Just itf fotciblj as it blows out In hot
we at hei. This current will freeze water
120 feet below the surface moie quickly
than it would at the sutface.and though
many attempts have been made to uso
a pump in the well they have all failed.
Seine j eats ago a house was built
ov'r the well and a stove placed In It
i-o that It could be heated to an intents
di ree, but, strange as it may seem,
this did not prevent the water from
freezing and bursting pipes 115 feet

in the well In winter, Ice freezes reveral
Inches in thickness in spite of all pro

have ills been tiled, but the water
fieczes over so thick In one night that

the hinvy downvvatd current befoio a
change of weathei will cause the water
to lower, while in summer the outward
