IMPORTERS AND RETAILERS OF COS TUMES AND SELECT DRY GOODS. Pennsylvania's Largest Carpet Stock Outside of Philadelphia "We think thero is not another such Carpet Store In Northeastern Penn sylvania, and there are patrons in Wyoming, Lackawanna, Luzem Wayne, Susquehanna, Sullivan, Col umbia, Northumberland and Lycom ing counties whose opinions bolster up this impression. For years wo have been recognized as leaders In Moor coverings in this corner of the state. It is this leadership and the expecta tions it engenders in tho public's mind that prompts us this season to gatl.'-r such a stock, as only the largest ex clusive Metropolitan stores can com pete against in extent and lowness of price. Our invoices since tho first arrival of Spring orders, shows A Stock of Over 90,000 Yards ji Divided up among something like 650 Patterns.

The next best thing to pack ing a barrel to send away would bo to see the scene at the other end when tho barrel arrives, and witness the wel come the contents receives." At the conclusion of her talk, Mtss leathering Tlmberman, of the Scranton Conservatory of Muslo and contralto of tho First. Methodist church, sang with marvelously beautiful effect "If I Were a Voice." She was obliged to respond to nn encore. Dr. W. II. Penrco made a pleasing address In appeal for tho collection, after which Mr. T. D. Williams, of tho First church, Wllkes-Barre, sang beau tifully "In tho Secret of Ills Pres ence." Dean Buell gave his last lecture of the course on the subject, "Modern Methods In Defense of the Faith." Four things were necessary, he said: First, courage; second, knowledge of tho foe; third, discrimination between the non-essential nnd the essential In the Scriptures; fourth, strategic con cessions. The lecture was valuable to the many ministers who listened. Rev. Dr. L. L. Sprague, president of Wyoming seminary, presided at the educational anniversary last evening. Miss Saldee Kaiser, director of vocal music at the Wyoming seminary, de lighted the great audience with her beautiful solos, and the Independent Glee club also sang with excellent ef fect. Bev. Dr. B. P. Baymond, president or wesieyan university, made u bril liant address on "Tho Opportunities of the Hour," In the course of which he said: DB. RAYMOND'S ADDRESS. False rumois of tho campaign and of Iinmedlato advance often deceive tho rank ami Hie. There are, however, certuln unmistakable signs. Rumor Is rlfo to day of an ndvaiu-e of the church mllltuut. These are certainly -cry significant signs. A study of our titles shows that a ic dlstribution is going on in our population; between 1SS0-JM)0, the urban population Increased Ct per cent, whllo tho rural population Increased only II per cent; 30,063 towns decreased in population dur ing tho decade. A study of our great cities shows that tho evils which destroy ate massing themselves down town. And while all tho conditions there are favor able to the breaking of every command ment, thu wealth, the culture and tho churches are moving up town. Unless this movement Is reversed we shall liud the down town population a menace to health, morals, schools, church and state. Tills condition of things Is a challenge both to our courage and our faith. Al lenily there are indications that tho chal lenge is to be ueceplcd. It will demand the highest type of Intelligence and of ,i very steady and persevering faith to m"c: and watch these enemies. What preparation have wo for tho de mands of the twentieth century? We have mnttterid the resources of tho world. Tho Increase of our wealth Is J7,lW0,O a day. A statistician has estimated that the work done by 0,000,000 factory work ers would have taken lo0.0v0.U00 pet sous if done by hand. In the United States, Great Britain, Germany nnd Fiance tho steam power at work represents Kil.COO.Mii) able-bodied men. We have tapped the wells of oil. m Idled and bitted the light ing, harnessed the steam and now com mand the souroes of power neeessary to the conquest of tho world. Fifty years uk we had tho mastery of none of these jic wers. A study of tho Orient shows a strange life astir, an epectant attitude of mind. Chli.a Is already divided up Into spheres ot Influence and these spheres the va rious powers aro to cultivate. SIGNS OF THE TIMES. These are the slcns of the times. We are ut work for largo issues. It is no longer a question hnw far a few Isolu'ed missionaries can affect a vast heathen ism. Ralnouds, telegraph wires, com merce, men-of-war, schools and churches nie all mess'iiEf is of the gospel. A steam engine curies western Ideas and western Ideas, carry. Inimitably, thu gos pel. How are we prciiailug for this work? The twentieth coutuiy commis sion appointed by the board of bishops Is to bring that question to tho attention of all our conferi nces. They have asked us to give J20.COO.OtiO ns a thank offering for years past, and as a pledge for work for the days to come. They havo advised that $10,000,000 ho given for tho causa of education. W hen we consider the need of tialncd men for every field of work wo shall understand the slgnlllcance of that call. We have tho resoutces. Wo are In tho path of em pire. The world's achievements havo all been wrought within our lattltude. Fol low the course of history from Abraham the patriarch to our tlmo and you could march across tho zone of achievement in a few days. With every facility at hand, and the expectant world waiting, what reprisal shall the Methodist church make j to this challenge to faith ana courage? Tho muse of history waits at the sum mit of tho twentieth century to write, concerning this decade and the rally de cades of th" twentieth century, "Tho days of tho renaissance of tho faith." Shall she so write? That depends on whether we master, marshal! nnd march tho mighty foiees of our time under the banner of the Christ. Rev. Dr. John H. Bnce spoke on the Ulysses. S. Grant university, of Chat tanooga, Tenn., of which he Is chan cellor. The choir of the Kingston church rendered a beautiful pro gramme under tho direction of Profes sor Black. Rev. G. T. Price failed to appear yesterday at tho Investigation. It is probable that the report will bo re turned this morning, and that it will practically sustain the charges. Among the probable changes In the Wyoming district vh be Frank James, G. T. Price. E. L. Santee, John Humphries, C. M. Surdam, John Brad shaw, F. Gendall, William Edgar, W. G. Simpson, J. F. Warner, Wilson Treiblo. Those who have passed the five-year limit are O. L. Sevcrson nnd A. F. Chaffee. There la a possibility that the latter may exchange places with ... G. Simpson, of West Plttston. There are about eight possible suc cessors to W. L. Thorpo as presiding elder, only one of whom can De chosen. Chancellor Day, of Syracuse univers ity, Is tho biggest man In attendance at the conference. He towers head and shoulders above all tho other people. Rev. Dr. GIflln will make one of his characteristic addresses tonight at tho anniversary of the Preachers' Aid so ciety. Coinniandery at Elmhuvst. A commnndery of Knights of Malta will be Instituted In Elmhurst on Sat urday evening, April 29th. Tho Knights of Malta and black degrees will be con ferred in full form by the degree staff of Anthraclto commandery, No, 211, of this city, and Grand Recorder Georg H. Pierce, of Philadelphia, will exemplify the unwritten work of tho higher degrees. This will bo the tenth conimundery in this cotinty. ON THE FIRING LINE IN AND NEAR MANILA Concluded from Pago 10. would go along to tho next one, never tho least bit excited. There were also two young fellows packing a photo graph Instrument on the afternoon of Feb. 10th at thu taking of Caloocan, They followed us for 3',4 miles, taking views. I believe they set their ma chine a hundred times, for every time we would slop and look around one of them would sny that ho was taking another shot at us. And thero were a great many officers wives out look ing at the excitement. The Harper's Weekly correspondent at Manila and his wife were also close to the lines at nearly all the battles, with their note books nnd pencils, and they also pack ed pistols with them. He was un lucky and got shot through the wrist, but did not seem to mind It much. Ho Just tied n cloth around It and went to work taking notes again. CAPTURING A BATTERY. One of the most Important deeds that our regiment, or I would say, three companies of us, did, I nearly forgot to mention. That was at tho capture of Santa Ann. Wo drove tho black devils away from two lireech londlng, three-Inch Krupp guns of latest model, one they had trained on the bridge that wo had to cross tho same day that wo took them. The other was trained on the river and thnt one stopped the river gunboat from going up, ns It was only pro tected from Mauser bullets and ;iot from artillery, and It dare not show up until after we had taken the fort; nnd then the "mud hen" (as we call It), started to go up the river making as much noise as the Oregon would. But It has done some very good work along the river with Its rapld-lb-e guns. When they would turn ono ot these loose It would make the niggers hunt the hills. I have sent you pome papers nnd will send you some more as soon as I can get them as they are at our quar ters and we cannot get a chanco to go after anything, but have to remain In our position as wo have been placed nnd are threatened with court martial If we go fifty yards from our regular beat. This la done, as some of tho boys left their posts and deserted their companies to go to tho lliing line, when their company was not getting a chance to go and they have to do some thing to keep them In town We have had a tough time this last throe weeks or more, for since Feb. 3, I have not, nor has any of our company, had our nhoes off to sleep, but one night; and they get pretty heavy dragging them around all the time, although wu do get a few minutes to ourselves and get n chance to take a bath in the day time. Every minute T think of throw ing mine away and going like the Chinaman. But we are not the only ones, for It Is every regiment the same; and nil havo done good work and stood It fine. SPECIAL ELECTION TODAY. It Will Be Held in the Twenty-First Ward. In the Twenty-first ward there will be n special election this afternoon to 1111 the vacancy In the common coun cil caused by the death of Thomas Norton. The candidates are John Ord, Republican, and M. J. Norton, Democrat. The latter Is a brother of the deceased councilman. Court yesterday t'ppolnted James Murtha and Martin Joyce overseers of today's election In the Second district of tho Twenty-first wrrd.

' ' In Spring work, we sow grain and expect a harvest. The cloddy ground is plowed, harrowed and cross-harrowed until with proper fertilizing it is in condition to respond heartily.
