lie was removed tn the Lackawanna,
hospital where he was found to be suf
fering from Internal Injuries and sev
eral severe contusions about the body.
FIRE IN THE ROOKERY.
When First Discovered It Looked
as if It Would Be a Very Se
rious Affair Damaga
Not Great.
Another big fire scare was occa
sioned this morning nt 12.15 o'clock by
a blaze In the Kookery, and the con
templation of the crippled condition of
the firo department.
The llames were leaping high above
the roof even before the alarm from
Uox 21. sounded nt 12.1." o'clock, and It
seemed as If the big four-story struc
ture, surely, nnd the adjacent buildings,
likely, were doomed to destruction.
It developed, however, that the dan
ger was not nt any time as great as
threatened. The llames shooting from
the roof proved to be emerging from
the ventilating shaft and that the
burning area was comparatively small.
Its center was In a toilet room on the
second Hour, Just about In the middle
of the building and adjoining the shaft.
A window connected the toilet room
nnd the shaft and through this the
llames found their way to the roof. Tho
toilet room was thoroughly burned out
and the shaft with Its surrounding
cupolu damaged beyond repair.
The hallways In the vicinity of the
shaft were also badly caved and the
plastering on the upper floors In the
Immediate vicinity of the shaft loosened
by the water.
Tho Phoenix Chemical company was
first to nrrlvo and did the bulk of the
work of extinguishing the llames. The
Crystals had a stream on for a short
time, but a bad buist occurred In their
hose, which was not repaired before
Acting Chief McManus called off the
water companies and left the chemi
cals to finish up the light.
The- loss Is indicated In the damage
described above. The stairs and of
fices suffered very little from water.
The shaft extended Howards from the
storeroom, formerly occupied by
ISIedlomnn the bookman. A large
amount of debris and nearly all tho
water and chemicals poured on tho
blaze, found Its way Into the room. It
being vacant little or no loss Is to bo
chronicled.
Fsually three persons sleep In tho
building, Charles II. Nelson, ladles'
tailor and his wife, and Photographer
T. :. Dillon. The latter two were
away fortunately. Mrs. Nelson is vis
iting relatives In New York and Mr.
Dillon went Into the country to spend
Sundav.
Mr. Nelson was the only occupant
at the tlmo the (lames broke out.
, He was awakened, ho says, by op
pressive heat and a stilling sensation.
Ho got up out of heel, opened the win
dows of his bed room on the second
lloor front and again retired. When
(ho heat became more oppressive and
breathing still more difficult ho struck
a light to Investigate the cause and
was startled to find his room filled
with smoke. He lost no time In get
ting to tho sidewalk.
It was not known at (list that Mr.
Dillon was not in the building and as
his room was on the third lloor which
for some time was Inaccessable much
excitement resulted.
Common Councilman F. W. Zlzel
man, foreman of tho Nay Augs,
knocked down n Crystal man named
F.dward Cooney, who. It is alleged' at
tempted to prevent tho Nay Augs
from connecting to the twin hydrant
just opposite the lire from which tho
Crystals wero stretching a lino of hose.
There were threats of a general
rumpus but up to tho tlmo of going to
press It did not materialize.

MOMONISM IN UTAH
VIEWED BY A WOMAN
ADDRESS BY MRS. T. J. COLLINS,
A FORMER SCRANTONIAN.
Delivered in Welsh Baptist Church
Lnst Evening Interesting Facts
Concerning the Customs and Be
liefs of the Lnttor Day Saints Itef
renco to the Existence of Polyg
amyDescription of tho Temple,
Tabernacle nnd Surrounding Coun
try ttnd Products of the Country.
Mrs. T. J. Collins, wife of tho for
mer pastor of tho First liaptlst church,
of West Seranton, who hits been en
gaged In missionary work with her
husband In Utah during the past four
years, spoko at the Welsh Itaptlst
church last evening on "Tho Mysteries
of Monnonlsm."
In introducing the subject Mrs. Col
lltfs Btnted that after leaving this
city, the family was located In the
City of Zlon, where they labored In
Christian work. "It is u great valley
up In the mountains, nearly a mile
nl ove the sea level," she concluded.
"Tho surrounding mountain ranges
are full of gold, silver, copper, lead
and other precious minerals, and some
of the highest peaks are covered with
snow all the year round.
Into this great valley the Mormons
entered over fifty years ago. It was
then covered with sand and sago
brush, but through their tremendous
sacrifices and energies It soon began
to blossom as the rose, and a great
city sprang up as If by magic. Mount
Nebo, one of the highest mountain
peaks, Is .over 11,000 feet above the
sea level. At the base of this moun
tain Is tho sea of Galilee or Utah Lake,
and from It tho Jordan river, like a
silver ribbon, strotchos down to a
beautiful valley to the Dead Sea, or
Great Salt Lake.
A GREAT LAKE.
"This Jake Is about seventy miles
long by forty-live miles wide, and hns
two Islands in the midst of Its waters,
to one of which tho grave robber of
newspaper fame was banished. Hath
lng In the waters of this lake Is de
lightful and exhilarating. All that Is
necessary in order to know how to
swim is to sit down nnd puddle with
your hands and your feet will take
care of themselves. One cannot sink,
ns the salt exercises Its saving power
and keeps tho swimmer from going to
the bottom.
"The discovery of gold and other
precious metals in tho surrounding
hills has caused an influx of Gentiles,
and the waters of this holy land are
being polluted by them.
"The population of Utah Is esti
mated at about 200,000, one fourth of
whom are 'Gentiles, and they comprise
n majority of the citizens of Salt Lake
City. The latter city is laid In the
form of a chess-board nnd was In
tended to cover about nine thousand
acres. At present, however. It only
occupies about one-third that amount.
The streets are one hundred nnd thirty-seven
feet wide, and the blocks
forty rods srfunre. On both sides of
the streets are rows of beautiful trees,
and at their roots flow streams of
fresh sparkling wnter.
"The court house rs similar to the
one In Scianton, but tho temple Is the
great attraction and stnnds where
Ilrlgham Young struck his cane and
said it should stand, when he first
entered the valley. The temple was
built of white granite, taken from the
mountains In Utah, at a cost of be
tween $3,000,000 and $4,000,000. A
statue of the Angel Mnronl stands on
the east end, blowing bis trumpet.
"This building, it Is claimed, Is a
reproduction of the Temple at Jerusa
lem, and as no Gentiles were nllowed
In that one, the same rule applies at
Salt Lake City. There are under
giound compartments, and In the tem
ple proper, It Is claimed, there Is a
miniature garden of Eden. Into this
heavenly place the faithful saints go
to be marr'd, and there Is also a
baptismal fount, where the saints are
baptised.
SrimOUNDED PA A WALL.
"The block In which the temple
stands Is surrounded by a great wall,
and within this enclosure Is the as
sembly hall and the great tabernacle.
The lawns and grounds surrounding
the buildings are well kept and beau
tilled with grass, flowers, fountain,
etc.
"Tho tabernacle is a largo circular
building, with a huge oval wooden
dome, and will seat from 10,000 to 15,
000 people. The great pipe organ In
this building cost over $1000,000 and is
the second largest in tho United States.
"About the Mormons themselves, the
speaker said, In regard to their theo
logical views, they are polytheists.
They claim that there are many gods,
having human forms, and are graded.
Adam of Genesis Is the highest in spir
itual rank, while Christ. Mohammed,
Joseph Smith and Ihigham Young also
partake of divine nature.
"A very sad but true state exists,
that the sexual relations penetrate
every portion of their creed, and the
saints on leaving this world are dei
fied, and their glory will be In propor
tion to the number of wives and chil
dren they have. Thus they urge the
necessity and Justlllcatlon of polyg
amy. If a man Is not able to support
many wives, he may induce as many
nice, pretty, sweet girls as he can to
be sealed to him, or to marry him for
eternity.
"They believe that the Ulblo is tho
Word of God, so far ns It is correctly
translated. This gives them a wonder
ful scope for digression. The Hook of
Mormon Is absolutely correct, accord
ing to their belief, as God hlmolt
translated It from tho plates the angel
showed to tho prophet Joseph Smith.
On reading It, uno would naturally
think it would huvo been well if God
had studied a little grammar and rhet
oric before undertaking the job.
"It is nn nwful conglomeration of
stuff written in a very poor imitation
of Scripturo style, and purporting to
glvo a history of certain Jews who
came to this country at the fall of
Jerusalem. Tho Mormons believe In
progressive revelation and so have an
easy way of getting out of dinicultles.
SPECIAL ItEVELATION.
"They clulm to havo had a special
revelation, besides the teaching of the
Old Testament, that polygamy Is ull
tight. In a paper passed by the Pres
bytery of Utah, August 20, 1898, It Is
stated that this living In polygamous
relations has resulted In tho birth of
more than 1,000 children since state
hood wus granted January 4, 1890.
"When thu United States government
took up matters and polyfjumlsts wero
hiding in the mountains, or serving ft
term In the penitent I dry, their presi
dent, then Mr. Woodruff, had a reve
lation that they must glvo up polyg
amy and be subject to the powers that
bo. At llrst their extra wives wero
kept out In the country until the people
had forgotten their pledges, but the
practice continued Just tho same.
"After Utah became a state, tho
church authorities Issued n manifesto
requiring nil the officers of the chtttch
to first secure the sanction of tho
church authorities before running for
any political nfllce. Mr. Thatcher, one
of tho npostlts, refused tu sign this
manifesto nnd ho was depti cd of every
ofllco In the church and defeated for
United PtntPs senator.
"Congressman-elect Roberts made
tho same pledge and signed the mani
festo and was elected. He Is one of
the ablest orators In tho United Stctcs,
and George L. Cannon Is a long-headed,
shrew d-fctntesmnn.
"Mormonlsm Is one of the best, If
not the best, organized Institutions In
tho world, and they are rapidly gain
ing political control of Washington,
Montann, Maho.Arlzona and New Mex
ico. Every district and Individual Is
looked after, and they have meeting
houses In every ward In the city and all
over the country. They baptize their
children when they nre eight years of
age, and at these meeting houses, they
have their dances and nmusements.
They have their young men's Industri
al Improvement associations, and
courses In literature, history, science
nnd ethnology tire taught.
MUST PAY TITHF.S.
"Everybody has to pay tithes. Tho
tithing system hns been thoroughly
drilled Into them nnd Is a mighty
source of revenue, which enables the
leaders to get hold of business and the
paying mines of the eountry, and thus
control the labors of the field.
"It Is necessary to send tried men
nnd women Into this field. Thny must
be full of the knowledge of God's word,
and full of the Holy Spirit, and have
grace, grit, and gumption to carry on
tho work. Chinnman was asked
what ho thought of the war with Spain.
His reply was: 'Sp-inlshman ho telhee,
talkee, tnlkec: Mcltcnn man, be Dewey.
Dewey, Dewey,' and there Is great need
of more Dewoys In th" Wst."
Mrs. Collins held the close attention
of her hearers nearly an hour with her
address, which was decidedly Interest
ing throughout.
FELL THREE STORIES.
Remarkable Experience of William
Price of Peim Avenue Saved by
Electric Light Wires.
About 2:15 this morning William
Price, a hotel waiter, fell from a third
story window at his boarding place at
316 I'enn avenue. He was sitting In
the window when ho lost his balance
and fell backwards. One story down
he encountered electric light wires
which broke the fall to a certain ex
tent nnd burned one of his arms. At
the second story he struck a sign
which went down with him. Price
landed on his back on the stone walk
and Police Officer Pollster and a num
ber of persons rushed to the spot.
The officer had scarcely reached the
prostrate figure when Price sprang to
his feet and walked up stairs, appar
ently no worse for his fall.
GUNBOAT IN 1,500 PIECES.
That's the Way It Is to Be Shipped
from England to Lake Nyassa.
English naval eonstructirs are very
much interested in t. gunboat which
hns just been completed for service n
Lake Nyassa. In Central Africa, and Is,
to be shipped to that point in pieces like
a Chinese puzzle. This boat, the atien
dolen. is now split up into 1,500 pack
ages for tram-portation. A reporter of
the London Echo describes th boat
In bis account of his inten lew with J.
A. llniile of the engineering linn which
built the Guendoleii'
"So there Is going to be fighting on
Lake Nyassa?" I remarked tentatively.
"I never said so," he replied with llt
tlng diplomacy.
"Then that's niv mistake; I merely
judged so fiom the fact of your taking
out what on a lake would bo consid
ered a first-class battleship for the
Guendohn Is heavily armed, Is she
not?"
"Yes, If you call six Maxims and fotir
Ilotehkb's guns a big armament. Sh-
Is Intended ti replace the three small
gunboats now on tho lake which are
practically obsolete, and Is a vast Im
provement on them in every way. Her
length Is 138 feet, beam 23 anil tonnage
350, and with a draught 4 feet 0 Inches
Is intended to steam twelve knots."
"1 suppose the depth of the lake did
not necessitate a shallow drnjf.h: ves
sel "'
"P.y no means, us then- Is plenty nf
water even close Inshore- that enabled
us to have twin screws, for on shallow
wnter such as the Niger or the Khoja
(by means of which the Russians In
IM'4 penetrated far up toward t'hitral)
a sternwheel Is absolutely necessary.
She Is eiulto a normal type, except for
the fact that she Is fitted with Eras
er's under-fired boilers, and w 111 burn
wcod fuel, nf which there Is an abund
ance In nnd around the lake; coal Is
only brought up from the- coast for the
use of two or three forges, at a cost
of some C10 per ton such Is the difficul
ty of transport."
"And that difficulty will be Increased
In tho case of a gunboat, I shuuld im
agine:" "Not so.mueh as you think," said Air.
Rennle. "You see, we can only bolt,
not rivet her together In the yard here,
so as to Insure the perfect fitting of
every part. In this condition tho'Guou.
dolcn was Inspected by Sir Edward
Reed, who expressed himself as thor
oughly satlslled with her. Then she
wns taken to pieces, uery piece being
previously numbered, nnd on a small
model, theFe numbers are marked off,
tho Internal fittings of course tho
model Is only of the outside of tho hull
having their propr numbers marked
on scale drawings. Drawings and mod
el accompany the ship, which Is split
up Into 1.500 packages, that containing
tho boiler of 2'i tons being the heaviest,
so that on her arrival tluio need bu no
difficulty whatever In putting: her to
gether again."
Mr. Remit added that If one of the
packages chnuld be lost, It would bo
dlfllci'lt to replace It. The packages arc
to ho transported for miles over a
rough country by bullock wagons, and
an extra weight Is an Important con
sideration, no1 spare parts nr carried.
Commander Cullen, R. N, It., the commander-in-chief
on the lake.has charge
of tho transportation, and ho will su
perintend the assembling of tho parts.
UTTER DEVOTION
TO A GREAT PURPOSE
FORMER PASTOR'S SON HEARD
AT ELM PARK CHURCH.
Rev. Dr. George P. Eckman Sponks
on tho Necessity of an Absorbing
Passion The Tendency of tho
Times Toward Trivialities No
Great Success Reached Unless an
Intensity of Feeling Is Cultivated.
Tho Theory False That Cold Re
serve Should Bo Actuating Motive.
Rev. Georgo Eckman, D. D., pastor
of St. Paul's, one of tho most promin
ent Methodist churches of New York
city, and son of Dr. J. G. Eckman, late
presiding older of the Wyoming dis
trict, occupied Elm Park pulpit yes
terday and preached two sermons, re
markable for their scholarly thought
and directness of purpose.
Dr. Eckman was pastor at Morris
trwn, N. J., when ho received n num
ber of culls to Important churches. II"
nccepted that of St. Paul's, which ho
Is serving with eminent satisfaction.
Dr. Eckman Is a man of fine per
sonal nppcaranco and has an excellent
method of delivery. Ills preaching is
characterized with the Impassioned
earnestness nnd conviction that gave
such power In evangelistic eloquence In
the earlier years of tho century.
Ho spoko yesterdny morning to a
large congregation from the text: "My
heart Is fixed, O God! My heart Is
fixed," Psalm, lvll:7.
In opening the subject ho pictured
a prince without a palace; a poet with
out a patron; the scion of a noble
house whose literary genius had fram
ed Immortal lyrics exiled to the maz's
of a desert, his shelter a cavern. He
then said:
WHEN HE IS INTERESTING.
"A king is not ns Interesting, when
In his regal state, ho tides amid the
htl?zus of the populace, as when
whelmed In some disaster, surrounded
by rebellious subjects or In the midst
of a revolution. Alfred, tho Saxon,
hiding In the peasant's hut; Louis
Phllllppe cast ashore on Great Rrltaln,
while his subjects are founding a re
public of his kingdom; James II, ex
lied to France and at tho court of the
Grand Monarilie, while a Dutch prince
occupied his throne, nre more interest
ing than In their prosperous days.
"The poet Is more fascinating when
his lines are in the crimson drops of
his own sorrows, or ruddy with the
llmne of his martyrdom. Ovid, on tho
Inhospitable shores of ahe Euxine sea,
looking ever toward his Rome; Milton
in the darkne.s of n sightless Impris
onment and surrounded by iiolitlcnl
enemies; Charles Wesley, writing ser
aphle stanzas while the mobs barked
lilce dogs at his heels, excite our sym
pathies more than the poets laureate
amid the roar of popular applause.
"Hero Is one," said the speaker, "who
Is both poet and prince, the illustrious
son of Jesse, of tho royal line from
Which should spring the Messiah. Ho
Is a poet not transcended In the history
of the world."
Then followed a graphic word picture
of the poet In the durkness of the cav
ern singing In the rapture of Inspira
tion at the crucial moment. He had
found a mooring on tho rce.lless sen.
He had found the true centre of life so
that bis equilibrium could not be dis
turbed. The all-absorbing passion he
felt must develop In any man the
noblest manhood.
MUST HAVE DEVOTION.
All men must have devotion to some
object. As n poet has sale, "If no one
loves, the very si In heaven Is ex
tinct." Illsmarck said, "I am tired,
not sick. There is no complaint, but)
uneasiness of life In which nothing can
give me pleasure." In a great pas
sion great lives are filled with a mar
velous beauty and symmetry.
The pity of the ago Is that so many
waste these powers on infinitesimal
pursuits and squander nil their souls
on trivialities. Too many devote to the
brute creation the loving attention de
manded by humanity. The horse and
the dog nre noble animals, but the
genus homo also Is worthy of consider
ation. The bibliophile, the numismatic,
the antiquary are not useless, but It
must be conceded that volumes rich lu
manuscripts of departed years and
coins and medals of remote civiliza
tions are Insignificant beside the habits
of the human soul.
John Stuart Blackle chose rather to
devote the remainder of his life to
lighting the wrongs of the Highland
Crofters, than to occupy tho chair of
Greek at Edlnborough. declaring that
the dead languages are of less Import
ance than tho demands of human
brotherhood.
The speaker then said that all great
passions are akin. Any great purpose
develops character. Newton. Sir Joshua
Reynolds, and Schllenmnn In his ori
ental research, were cited as Illustra
tions of the all-absorbing Influence of
a great purpose and Its corresponding
development of character.
DAVID'S AUSORIHNG PASSION.
David was possessed with an nbsorb
Ing passion for God. It gave him tran
quility and courage. Peter had that
courage on the day of Pentecost; Gus
tavus Adolphus had It, when after
battle he recited '.'A Mighty Foi tress is
Our God," tho hymn of Luther. Will
iam Lloyd Garrison hnd It. when he
said, "I will not retreat an Inch and I
will be heard."
It was this passion for God that mad"
David the foremost maker of religious
poetry in the world. He might have
been a great poet otherwise, an Ana
creon, a Homer, a Uyron, a Moore, a
Shelley, but he would not have been
the David whom we know. Had he not
been inflamed with devotion to God his
psalms would not have como down to
us, for the Hebrew literature of his ago
Is all lost -xcept that within tho lids
of tho Ulble.
His poetry has been called the wheila
music of tho human heart. Lafayette
knew It and repeated It; Cromwell re
cited It at Dunbar. Queen Louise of
Prussia, after the battle of Jena, and
Livingstone In Africa found in this
poetry tho only words to use. Tho
modern teaching that self-control
should rule, that cold reserve Is thi
true way of living, Is a flippant phil
osophy and a He, for Jesus said: "Thou
shalt lovo tho Lord, thy God, with all
thy heart and with all thy strength
and with all thy mind."

THE CHINESE CALENDAR.
Some Queer Divisions of Time and
Names Applied to Them.
From the? stnats Zeituns.
The Chlnesp do not compute their
time by centuries, but periods of sixty
years (luck shlimslx wood): each year
in this space of time hns its own name,
partly relating to the live elements
adopted by the Chinese sages, !z.,
wood, fire, earth, mineral and water,
partly connected with denominations
of live creatures such as r.i:, cr.ttle,
tiger, hare, etc. From the combination
of these two factors Into a double
word results, at the same time,
whether the year is a lue'cv or an
unlucky one. If, for instpn-e, wood
and cattle meet In the name of a
year, this signifies a good crop: die
and tiger prophesy a year of war. Tho
year lSl)7 bore the name of divigh-dai;
-lire and fowl and slnti's a year
of peace. The Chinese attach great
value to these names, .ml ate fre
quently governed In their . nlerprises
by the fact whether the name of the
year Implies luck or bad luck. The
dhlslon of the year Is a two-fold one,
It being divided Into twelv months
and twenty-four semi-months. The
latter bear the signs of the old Chinese
zodiac, and aro called rain water, ver
nal equinox, pure light, rain for the
fruit, morning Mush of summer, Httlo
rainy season, seed of tho herbs, sum
mer solstice, commonrvmrnt cif the
heat, great heat, sign of autumn, end
of the heat, white dew, etc. Like us,
the Chinese have four seasons (intia),
Th" months have alternately twenty
nine (weak months) and thirty days
(strong mouths); frequently leap
months are Introduced for the sake
of equalization. According to the
Chinese calendar, there are also two
kinds of weeks, tome of ten days and
others of fifteen days, so that a month
is divided either Into two or three
.weeks. Tho first dnys of tho months
are designated by numbers, but the
first day Is also called that of the
weasel and the last one that of return,
every day of the full moon being styled
tho day of hope. Tho night Is taken
at seven hours, tho duy at live. Tho
counting of twelve hours, each equal
to two of ours, commences at 11 o'clock
at night.
Frequently, however, the hours aro
also designated by anlmnl names; thus
tho midnight hour Is called the hour of
tho rat, while the midday hour Is that
of tho horse, Each hour Is divided Into
double minutes, minutes, and seconds.
