I'iONKD,
Itev. Dr. C. 13. Hohlnson delivered
an Interesting nnd most nblo address
Inst evening In the Second t'resbyterlan
church on Gladstone. The text was
from Fro verbs, IMG: "Length of daya
Is In her rlcht hand nnd In her loft
hand riches and honor." An editorial
In one of America's greatest papers
calls William K, Gladstone tho great
est Englishman. "Without controversy
ho should be entitled the rjreatest man
of this century.
An unparalleled career In length of
days and honors closing amid the grief
and sorrow of Christendom now chal
lenges nttentlon. The lesson of his life
Is worth learnlnir. Four times prlto'
minister of England, sixty years In
parliament, not for offlco or to satisfy
selfish ambition, but from noblest pa
triotism. A distinguished scholar In
letters; steeped In classic lore; a man
of affairs, covering the whole round of
the greatest questions of flnnnce and
stating thorn In a charming, fascinat
ing literature of numbers; passing
from one extreme of conservatism ns
a stern Tory In his remarkable youth
on to the extreme of liberalism In his
magnificent nnd wonderful old ago,
and yet with no sudden blundering
nnd sensational leaps, but as the moon
comes to her full, by regular, steady
progression.
WAS A GKEAT LEADEU.
A great party lender, not through
political friends nor diplomatic strat
egy, but because of the grasp of his
mighty Intellect nnd the superb
strength of his moral convictions; set
ting aside pomp and pride nnd noble
title, which n kingdom nnd empire was
eager to bestow, to buy If possible his
allegiance to clan, untl facing the
obloquy sneers nnd ridicule of the
mean small ones who hoped to
parry and make Inelllclent his terrific
blows at the whole system; adopting
tho cause most hated of the clan Into
which he was born nnd over which
his great genius gave him control, and
when he might gratify the most vault
ing nmbltion, and then, after sixty
years of life In parliament, when his
extraordinary career had reached to
colossal proportions and when his per
sonality loomed in immense Isolation
the Mount Blanc of public men, with
drawing with no dramatic farewell,
quietly walking out four years sigo;
spending a glorious evening of life
lighted up with the keenest Interest In
suffering humanity, Ills great heart
bleeding over the woes of Armenia, as
in the zenith of his power he turned
aside to aid In liberating imprisoned
Italians.
This was Gladstone.
Surrounded by his family, In whose
pure domestic enjoyment ho was, so
the centre of life that we scarcely
knew where hf was greatest, in state
or home; dying with the tearful eyes
of Christendom turned toward Hawnr
den, with kings and queens, prime
ministers of every land, with the Chris
tian church everywhere claiming him
ns her most honored son, liow can we
let him be borne to the grave without
memorializing the event and studying
the lessons of his life?
AN IMPRESSIVE LESSON.
First Is the impressive lesson of a
pure and noble youth. He did not care
to sow wild oats, for he early recog
nized that what a man soweth that
shall he ulso reap. The bishop of New
Zealand was one of his intimates,
Arthur Hallam was another, of whom
Gladstone wroto last year for the
Youth's Companion a memorial worthy
to stand by the side of Tennyson's "In
Memuiiam."
A description of Gladstone's college
career and honors followed, after
which the speaker told of the care be
stowed by the great statesman upon
his physical frame, his systematic ex
ercise and training.
The unselfish character of his public
life was emphasized. His protest
against the harbnrous treatment of
Italian prlbonets In Venice, his sym
pathy with the Ionian Isles, his con
cern for the Christian subjects of Tur
key were cited as illustrations of his
care for suffering humanity. It is diffi
cult to explain his lack of sympathy
with us In the Civil war, but ho mado
up for It afterward In being America's
truest friend.
Another lesson Is that every true
great man must have, will have, the
courage of his convictions. Gladstone's
early life marked him as tho leader of
the Tory party. No man ever had a
greater temptation to support Conser
vatism of England, but his great moral
nature led him to adopt the cause of
the people as against tho privileged
classes. Everywhere and every time
he was the Great Commoner.
So entirely was he In disfavor that
It was unusual for Americans In travel
to meet with English people who spoke
in any but the most contemptuous wny
of him. One accomplished and beauti
ful young woman said In 'S7 sho "would
like to give him a cup of cold poison."
While they tried to regard him ns a
traitor, down In their souls they were
proud of him.
TRIED TO DISHONOR HIM.
Today among those who are vlelng
with each other to honor his mem
ory are those who tried to dishonor
him while he was fighting nobly
for tho people's rights. Who can fall
to honor him? It Is not Infrequent
that crowned heads are moved to laud
those who have been their loyal ser
vants. Now nnd then the common people
unite to mourn the loss of some great
leader of their own, but It Is rarely
that the royal honors nnd the common
people's tears mingle on tho same
tomb. Moro truly "born to the purple"
that our great Lincoln who wus none
the less royal, William E. Gladstone,
like Lincoln in his martyrdom, gath
ered around him tho tributes of those
who had feared and hated him hut
dared not be silent now, nnd the tokens
of devotion of tho people whom he
served.
The speuker then referred impres
sively to tho beauty of Gladstone's
home life, whose obligation ttood al
ways first. His genuine love- for his
wife nnd family wus marked. Ills was
no small nature so bound by ties of
political and public life that requires
one to live before the world ns If no
one woman waa loved above all others.
It Is not (strange that they hesitate
to places him In England's greatest
tomb unices room enn thoro ho found
for his beloved wife. Lllto our own
Grant, no mausoleum could bo grand
enough for lilts last resting place if his
wife could not bo also placed nt his
side. Tho homo Ufa of Gladstones and
Tennyson wns nllka Ideal.
Tho grandest lesson of nil Is the
depth nnd power of Christian charac
ter based all on "Tho Impregnable
Scriptures," which was ono of his
works on tho defense of Christianity.
A communicant of tho Church of Eng
land, ho wns too truly Christian not
to bo in spiritual harmony with all
"who lovo In sincerity nnd truth."
When the end came, nnd pain looked
In nt tho castlo window, nnd came to
his bedside, and when jeath entered,
ho calmly, gently and with lnefi'nbto
peace, content, sweetness nnd trust
turned himself "to seo his Fllot face
to face."
AT ELM PARK CHURCH.
Elm Park church wns thronged Inst
evening to hear ltev. Dr. C, M. Glllln
speak on "Gladstone ns Seen by nn
American." On n pedestal nt tho right
of tho pulpit stood n bronze bust of
Gladstone, from which blnck stream
ers fell over tho drapery of the Stars
nnd Stripes nnd tho ling of England.
Tho text selected by Dr. Glflln was
from Hob., 7-4: "Consider how great
this man wns." Tho speaker said: "Wo
havo come tonight to study tho char
acter of one whoso excellence cannot
bo located In only a few spots, but to
whom prophet, priest and king bring
tributes of praise nnd upon whom
eulogies such ns have seldom 1 ever
been published aro found In the press,
while around his coflln mankind gath
ers to testify to his goodness nnd
grace.
"Horn In 1S09, by 1S33 ho wns In tho
House of Commons. In isni he had
driven through his wonderful railroad
bill that compelled provision for tho
accommodation of tho poor people.
l!y 1SI7 he had parted from Tory re
lations and had begun the liberalizing
process In his land. He removed the
disabilities that affected tho existence
of tho Jewish residents, founded tho
savings banks, annexed Egypt, suc
ceeded In abolishing the evil practice
of purchasing army positions, opened
a warfare against titled supremacy
until "My Lord" was no longer so
greatly to bo desired, nnd advocated
Irish Home Rule In the only way over
possible to make Its use practical.
"It Is marvelous that any man could
stay on the stage so long nnd intro
duce into staid England so many in
novations. "Four times by tho strangely long
lived queen was ho called to bo her
prime minister, not always on account
of any particular fondness for him but
because it was demanded by the peo
ple, it -was significant that when in
dignant she once said to him, 'I nm the
qupen.' He replied, 'I nm the people
of England.'
"WELL-ROUNDED MAN.
"Ho had the physical basis to sup
port the all-night debates and was able
to endure the much poisoned atmos
phere which destroys the constitution
of many members. He seemed built
for making speeches nt any time, and
his beautiful voice the dampness and
darkness only seemed to sweeten. He
had verity. Ho was true to his con
victions. Ho had versatility, and know
well what he knew. Ho was confess
edly tho Greatest of statesmen In our
day. A scholar In Homeric literature,
a theologian, nnd a connoisseur in old
china, lie could write on the Bulgar
ian question as if he knew nothing
else; was a farmer uccordlng to tho
best methods, and could carve in wood.
Ills abilities ranged from making a
nation to saving a soul.
"He was a believer In the Christian
religion and gave his testimony for u
maintenance of a faith in the invis
ible, nnd In the reality, nearness and
personality of God. Coleridge said a
man baa three friends, 'God, himself
and Death.' The latest messenger has
come to this toller,"
The speaker then quoted a few lines
from 'Scott's tribute to Peel, beginning
"Now is the stalely column broke,"
following with the words, "Well may
he be laid In Westminster Abbey, for
'he was a king among men.'"
At tho close of the service tho choir
sang "Only Remembered by What We
Have Done."

HIS FACE SLASHED
WITH A RAZOR
A South Side Polandcr Assaulted In
Jack (lie Ripper Style.
top of lrrs nosh hanging by a
pew sm:ndi:r shreds-the put
extends to the edgk op the
jaw-stai1bkd in the abdomen,
back op head and twice be-s1des-the
case is mysterious,
and may end in murder.
A posMbl'! murder wns committed at
10 o'clock Saturdny nenr the Lackawan
na Iron und Steel company's mule mrn
on Hickory street. Prank Arnowskl, a
Polnnder, 2S yenrs old, was slashed with
n razor or n very sharp knife in five
places.
His nose was cut through across tho
middle of It, nnd tho gash extended
down his loft check almost to the point
of tho Jaw. The ton of tho nose was
held on bv n few shreds of muscular
tissue. Ho wns stubbed on the tmck
of tho head, In the pit of tho stomach,
In tho right nrm pit, nnd on tho right
elbow. Tho wound on tho poll of tho
head required two stitches: tho other
wounds, except the onu on tho face,
nro superficial.
Arnowskl claims ho wns going along
nbout his business, and was nttaeked
without warning by a crowd of toughs.
He foucht with them and at last was
overpowered. They ran away nnd he
could not Identify any of them. Ho
said there were three or four in the
crowd.
What makes his story untenable Is
tho fact that his watch nnd money
wero not taken. It Is barely possible
that they would havo nllowed him to
remain In jiossesslon of these. Fur
thermore, his clothing did not nl'pe.'ir
as If ho was encaged In even a light
scrimmage. His collar nnd tie wero
not dlsnrrangcd. There was not n but
ton torn out of his vest or coat, nor
was thoro a button off his vest open,
until after ho wus brought to tho hos
pital. OFFICER PAW HIM.
Patrolman Feenoy says that ho was
standing at tho corner of South Wash
ington avenue nnd Hickory street
about 10 o'clock and he sa.w Arnowskl
coming clown from the direction of the
mule barn, which Is located close to the
Boating Brock. The man uttracted
his nttentlon because he was leaning
forward as If about to fall on his face,
and he was going at a rapid gutt.
"When ho came near the blood was plain
to be seen.
The olllcer says ho spoke to the man
and asked him to explain. He told him
he was a-olng to the drug store to get
bandaged. Brown s drug store is on
the corner of River street nnd South
Washington nvenuc, and to that he
went He wrs bandaged, and the pa
trol wagon was sent for nnd he was
taken to the Lackawanna hospital.
Tho police did not know he was so
badly wounded until he was examined
at the hobpltnl by tho doctor. The
had been told he was struck with a
stone In the face, and put It down as a
broken, nose. The wound across the
nose nnd left cheek Is very uglv, and
It Is difficult to foresee tho manner In
which it may heal. It is not overstat
ing the case to say that he Is in a dan
gerous condition. At a casual glance
his face looks as If the wound was
mado with an axu.
Ho lost a large qunntlty of blood,
nnd the shock from the wounds was
enough to lender him unconscious, yet
he wns as stolid when the doctor was
dressing him as If It wero a pin scratch.
Another suvptiHlnir circumstance Is that
ho was sober, and doesn't know, or
Bdys he doein't. who attacked him, or
what thev lcok like. He cannot glvo
the remotest description of them.
WOUND ON THE FACE.
The wound across his face Is ten
Inches long. The one In tho back of
the head Is three Inches and is through
to tho skull bono. Tho one in the ab
domen penetrated no deeper than tho
flesh. Two stitches sewed it up. Tho
ono on tho elbow is not much moro
than a deep scratch, and the onu In the
arm pit Is also .flight.
Drs. Newbury and Webb were questioning-
him yesterday and they could
get nutlunr; out of him, except that
they learned he was employed under
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company and that made him a case
for the Moses Taylor hospital. They
brought tho ambulance around and
took him up there.
A Tribune reporter went among tho
wounded man's friends yesterday af
ternoon to get some definite Informa
tion, but could not. He boarded In a
big tenement on Willow street, near
the foundry, a block from where he was
assaulted. It Is a fact that he was
assaulted near the mule barn, because
the officers traced tho blood to a spot
closo by. But his friends wero very
reticent, nnd tho onlv one who ad
mitted he kti'sw him Insinuated that he
got what served him right, that maybe
he was wounded by an angrv husband.
He Is a powerful man and would bo
a match for two ordinary men. He Is
not In dnnffer of immediate death, none
of his wounds being fatal. It Is only
tho complications that are to be feared.
At a late hour lust night ho was rest
ing comfortably. The police huvo no
information with reference to the man's
assailants,
DEATH WAS NOT ACCIDENTAL
So Thought the Oirouer's Jury iu tli'i
Pynicl; ('anil.
The hearing Saturday night at Coro
ner Longstreet's nillie iu the case of
Allchael Pyslek, who was killed on tho
Delawaie, Lackawanna and Western
railroad above Glenburn a week ago
yesterday, resulted in a verdict to tho
effect that the Jury believed ho might
havo boon tho victim of foul play,
Pyslek was n trackwalkr on the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western.
The person who Inst saw him ullvo was
Andrew Baker and he knew that Py
slek had a gold watch J"id a $:i0 gold
piece then. When hUpFf, body wns
found the watch and money were gone.
Tho Jury camo to the conclusion that
trnmps sandbagged him and left him
on tho truck to be finished by the first
train. A verdict embodying that view
wus rendered.

But for the prompt action of a Dela
waie, Lackawanna and Western rail
road brakeman, another railroad trag
edy would now bo recorded. Last even
ing, Just as night was falling, a train
of empty coal cars was being pushed
out of the yard down the Bloomsburg
division. The head brakeman Jumped
off, as tho trip neared the 'Scranton
street ciosslnc, to run abend and turn
a switch on the other side of the cross
ing. Imagine his horror when he saw.
Just nhead, the body of a man stretched
out between the tracks and his head
pillowed upon the rail along which the
