Globe Warehouse
Glove Selling
Is one of Ihe leading features in this store these days.
No doubt the weather iu part accounts for this, but the
effect of our superior stock on public opinion cannot be
underestimated, for nothing like it has ever been seen
in this city.
Gloves for Everybody
Are seen at their best here. My lady, who sets as much
store on a perfect fitting, rightly made and accurate
match iu her gloves as she does in the style of her
dress, never nieecs with disappointment here, while the
laboring man, who earus his bread by the sweat of his
brow, may also be suited with the rough, strong pro
tection for his bauds against the elements which his
calling requires, aud there isn't a single link missing
iu the long chain of makes, degrees, materials, prices,
etc., that run between the daintiest gloves for evening
wear or dress occasion and the commonest leather mit
tens, where comfort is sought, instead of clegauce.
Even the Children
Of both sexes caii find what they waut here iu gloves,
aud while their cold weather u-jiI; hiv beau am
ply provided for, gloves for dress occasions and social
fuuetious have also been provided for the rising gen
eration, with no sparing hatid or stint iu style.

tered Into li Mr. I.arkln and Con
tractor Huwiey. The suit was brought
to tecover wages. The defendant was
lepiesented by Attorney Jessup, while
Attorney Jeffies appealed for the

It seems that Contractor Hawley
entered Into contra' t with Mr. I.arkln
to build a dwelling on Chestnut street.
The amount of the conduct was $425.
When the work was about half done

Hawley tluew up the job. Wages to
tile amount of about sliiii were due the
woikmen. other workmen were put
nu the Job to coniotete it and It looked
as If the Hist gang would be out of
their wages. Hence the suit against
the owner of. the dwelling. Alderman
John reserved his decision until tomor
row evening. 'I'lils Job has provoked
considerable double in the laboring
circles, and the Ciirpenteis- union
have had Its attention called to It.

DUNMORE DOINGS.
New Arrangement by Which the
Postofflce Will Be Kept Open
Until Eleven O'clock Each
Night Saturday's Fire.
The borough and postofllce authori
ties have agreed upon a new and wel
come manner of conducting business
after the 7 o'clock p. tn. mall, which
will be a great benefit, ns well as it
great accommodation to business men
and people having lock boxes, who
now find It Impossible to be at the post
office Just when the mall is distributed,
and as a result have to wait until the
following day to receive their mall.
instead of closing the office after the
evening mall, as is the custom now. It
will be kept open until 11 p. m. each
evening with Chief of Police J. G.
Dlerks on duty In the vicinity of the
office, to watch It and keep the place
clear of loiterers. The stamp wlnc'ow
or mall delivering window will not be
open any later than usual, but thos
having lock boxes can receive their
mall from tlu1 office until the hour men
tioned. FIltE ON PINE STREET.
An nlarm of fire was sounded from
box .11, corner of Pine and South Blake
ly streets ."bout 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. The fire proved to bo in the
residence of Michael Carr. on Pine
street, nnd occupied by John Munley.
The damage was slight, the fire being
put out before the arrival of the com
panies. The cause of the fire Is un
known, but Is supposed to have been
caused by children playing with
matches, as the fire was discovered In
one of the beds.
If there l one thing mere than tin
other which needs to be called to the
borough's attention, it Is the present
fire nlarm svf.tem. which Is generally
out of working order. When the alarm
was turned for the above fire yesterday
morning three different alarms were
sounded by the gong. This was not the
first time, nor the second. It Is Im
possible, frequently, for a fireman to go
to a fire before going to the hose room
to see what number Is registered upon
the Indicator.thus losing valuable time.

A. MOFFITT AT ST. JOHN'S.
He Has Been the Curate nt the
Church for Some Time and Was
Recently Appointed Pastor of the
New Parish nt Taylor Century
Hose Company Invited to Partici
pate In a Fireman's Parade at
Dunmore George Bush Arrested
for Recklessly Using n Firearm.
Every available portion of space of
St. John's Catholic church on Fig street
wns occupied at the three masses cele
brated yesterday, it being the last Sun
day that Hew J. A. Moffitt will be the
assistant pastor of that congregation,
he having recently been uppolntel
pastor at Taylor. Present at the ser
vices were many of the denominations
who entertain for the greatly beloved
priest the deepest sense of respect.
Father Moffitt was the celebrant of
the 7 and 9 o'clock masses. His usual
remarks were substituted by a farewell
sermon. To the good priest and his In
numerable friends the scene will be
memorable. It was one ot the hardest
efforts of Father Mount's to say die
formal farewell to his flock. J lis voice
trembled with emotion and every eye
was tear-stained.
Ho recalled the most pleasant nnd
hnppy six years he spent among the
parishioners of St. John's church. Ho
came to them very much ,i stranger,
but soon endeared himself to them.
Father Moffitt told them that their
feelings were reciprocated more fully
than ho could give utterance to. Vet
he said that In the sadness of the oc
casion there wns a radiant stroak of
gladness. Ills friends rejoiced as he
did over the signal honor and blessln;
of God In choosing him to .enter upon
n new Held of labor.
Father Moffitt concluded his farewell
remarks by asking that his friends
pray for him often, that he might faith
fully continue In the performance, of
his noblo and arduous duty.
Rev. K. J. Melley, pastor of St. John's
church, celebrated the lO.r.O mass and
he pn!d n glowing tribute to Father
Moffitt ns a priest and a man. While
ho regrets of the leaving of his ourato
he salfl ho wns greatly delighted that
Father Moffitt was chosen for the I n
portant pastorate at Taylor. In ills
estimate tho selection was an Ideal one.
