Tho Great Electric City.
NIAGARA FALLS was ten years
ago a quaint little village nestled
about that great water falls, to which
thousands of tourists annually wend
ed their way In bcarch of pleasuic,

Other than this tho village was life
less and unimportant. Suddenly tho
ejes of the commercial world weio
turned towaul the little hamlet A r
other than cuilous reasons; for within
Its borders had come the greatest enp
ltallsts of the country; the most
learned men of science, engineering
nnd mechanical Ingenuity, for tho pur
pose of making an actuality out of
THE DREAM OF A CENTURY, the
utllizrtion of that limitless force of
tho great cataracts foi- commercial
purposes to drive wheels for Indust

Plans were laid out with great care
and money flowed abundantly to carry
out these plans, and today there is In

Two Ways for tho Cost of One.
To cnnble those who may desire to

THE DAWN OF A
NEW ERAHIS TOPIC
SERMON OF THE REV. A. J. VAN
CLEFT LAST NIGHT.
It uns Delivered In tho Dunmore
Methodist Episcopal Church to tho
Dunmoro Lodge, No. 1022, Junior
Order United American Mechanics.
Interior of tho Church Was Artis
tically Decorated by the Members
of the Order Church Was Crowded
to tho Doors.
Dunmore lodge, No. 1022, Junior Or
der United American Mechanics, at
tended in a body the divine services
In the Methodist Enlsconal church, on
South lilakely street, Dunmore, lust
cvenlng.the pastor, Rev. A. J. Van Cleft,
preaching at their solicitation an Im
pressive and highly Interesting sermon.
The church was filled to overflowing
long before tho opening services nnd
presented a pretty aspect, being decor
ated by a committee from the lodge In
a simple and attractive manner, tho
decorations consisting entirely of
Hags, which were profusely scattered
along the walls and choir loft, while
a largo flag was attached to Hie top
of tho auditorium and looped up di
rectly over the seats occupied by the
visiting lodge men, who represented
over two-thirds of their membership.
The pulpit was enveloped with u largo
Hag, also, ono of the chief emblems of
the fraternity, for which Rev. Van
Cleft delivered his address.
Rev. Mr. Van Cleft's topic was "The
Dawn of a New Era," and he took for
his text the words found In Eccleslnn
tes, seventh chapter and tenth verse:
"Say not thou what Is tho cause that
tho former days wcro better than
thefo, for thou dost not Inquire wisely
concerning this," Mr. Van Cleft sail:
Ecclcsia-itcs Is 11 wonderful book. IJut
thero Feems to bo n dlfterenco of opinion
rcgirdlng its authorship and the peitocs
in whl h it was written. As tho author
calls himself tho Son of David and tho
King of Jtrusialem most peoplo bellevo
Solomon wrote It. Others think it mast
have been written in a later period and
attribute It to Hczcklah, others to Isaiah
and others to a still later period.
Tho author styles himself "Tho Preach
er," so it has been called Solomon's ser
mon. It is claimed he prepared it when
ho was an old man and when he returned
to God after having been led into sin
by his Rtraniro wives. Ho had pursued
tho world for years nnd now saw his folly
and said "Vanity of vanities, all is villi.
it."
ARH ALL SET FORTH.
This stems to havo been the text foi
his most excellent btrmon, 'ihe ultcr
insulllclency of tho world to make us
happy; tlio vllenes-s of sin and Its cer
tainty to make us miserable: the wisdom
of being religious; the solid comfort and
satisfaction that are to bo had in doing
our duty to God nnd man arc all set forth
In this most remarkable book.
But however men may differ about tho
authorship and tho printiplo of Interpre
tation it lias generally been acconlea
the plaeo It holds among .the sacred
books of the Bible. Nor do "they affect
either the character. Importance or util
ity of the book Itself. As Dr. Adam
Clarke said, "It Is a production of singu
lar worth and tho ilnest monument wo
havo of tho wisdom of tho ancients ex
cept tho book of Job."
In the text there seems to be a dia
logue between tho writer nnd what to
day wo call u pessimist. This man, like
many others, evidently thought ho had
in en born too late In tho world's history.
IIIlo looked around and saw nothing
but wickedness. He lool'ed backward
nnd saw nothing but goodness. Ad
vantages and opportunities were not as
great as in former time".
It appears the tendency to paint tho
past in glowing colors, Is of ancient date
and It may be -t It is a conseo.ueneo
of human nati'i. 1 v If. Job was not tho
flrst nor tho last who cried nut "Oh that
I were ns In n nths past." Probably
Juiob was in a similar mood of mind
when ho heard of Simon's detention In
T'trvpt ind of Judaii's i.rcposal to tak"
Ben'imln down thre. Tho old man who
wept at tho foundation of tho second
temple certainly believed that the Cays
when the first temple win standing wcro
Incomparably moro resplendent thaa
those In which tftey lived.
Thero are politicians In whose opinion
tho country was moro happy and more
prosperous In former days than now,
fiat tho statesmen were moro honest,
hincere and capable, that tho Judges wcro
more true and ' right; that we had bet
ter laws and taey wcro better inter
picted nnd enforced; that thero w ro
Grants In thoso day, mf" of great abil
ity and unllhichlng' Integrity.
I believe thero are as many Grants in
tho world tot." ly f there ever were.
ARE IN HIMSELF.
Often tho change for the worse is not
In a man's fcuiroundlngs but in hlrcuolr.
Leaving his youth and piimo behind him
ho has left his vigor, his buoyancy, hw
power of inahtcry and of 11 Joyment, tho
times nro wel 1 enough Mil ho hlmso.t
Is fulling nnd ho sees through eyes grow.
Ing dim with yea is. But he r calls tlie
days of Ills youth and paints tho scenes
and experiences of bgono times In col
ors supplied by a fond deceptive fancy.
Willi somo this strong Imaginative fac
ulty jepr.-sents to tlum&elves a state of
tho world ar.d n condition of society, a
phaso of tho church which never lind a
real existence. By figuring all prosper
ity and happiness to have belonged to a
past ago they removo their fancies fiom
tho range of contradiction. All things
to their vision become lustrous and fair
with the "light that never was on land
or sen."
If wo look around us carefully wo will
find tho present ago as good, yea better
than any which Ins preceded It. What
a contrast In tho methods of travel. A
hundred years ago It took a week or more
to go to New York. Now wo can reach
the city In a few hours. It took six weeks
to cross the Atlantic. Now wo can cross
it In us many days. It took nearly a
month to get nn answer from Boston
by mall for which they hud to viy 23
cents postage. Now you can receive It In
twenty-four hours. Or you can call the
party to the 'phono and talk with him in
a few moments.
Tho flrst religious newspaper published
In this country was tho "Recorder," by
Rev. John Andrews In 18H. The first
dally of tho world was published In Lon
don In 1703 and the first one In Now
York was tho "Journal nnd Register,"
In 17&S. It whs not unltl 1S10, twenty-two
years nfter It wns started, before it could
secure a circulation of two thousand
copies. What a chungo during tho cen
tury. I think wo are tending towards
tho era, for It seems to bo dawning,
which was predicted by tho prophet,
"When nations shall learn war no more."
Tho peace congtr's recently held at The
Hnguo call together by the czar nf the
Rt.shlas Is at least suggestive and pro
phetlc. I had hoped wo had reached tho
age of peaco before tho Brltlsh-Hoer or
our lato Spanish-American war. But
while America drew the sword it was In
the causa of frcodom and for tho op
pressed. Never before has tho woild
witnessed uch nn exhibition ns our na
tlan gave when It declared war In tho
Interests of a foreign but downtrodden
people. I thunk God that our armies
were successful,
I have no n.mpathy with the critics
who condemn this government for its

SERMON ON M0RM0NISM.
Rev. O. R. Beardsley Spoke In All
Souls' TJniversallst Church on
"Mormonlsm; Its Place."
At All Souls' Universally church last
night Rev. O. R. Beardsley delivered
an Interesting nnd spirited address on
"Mormonlsm; Its Place." He opened
his sermon by describing tho source
from which Mormonlsm sprung and the
founder of the creed, tho famous Jos
eph Smith. The speaker was reared
In Atton. N. Y the place where Smith
spent his boynood and he has made
many researches nnd 3tudles of the
man and his doings, having spent much
time In collecting testimonies fiom va
rious persons living In tho vicinity nnd
in making a careful study of his life.
Rev. Mr. Ben''dsley said that he
spoke, not againsi the Mormon people,
but against their practices. Smith and
his family, however, bore a general
name as being shiftless nnd disreput
able and tho speaker had the testi
mony of fifty-one persons of the neigh
borhood to certify to tho fact. Smith
was known ns a dreamer and ono full
of visionary projects. Joslah StowWl,
a deacon In the church and a good
man, was duped by Smith nnd had
him living with him nt Afton and
when tho future leader of the Mormnn
church wns nrrested nnd tried for va
grancy he testified as to his character
and reputation and sworo that he was
no vagrant, but had a means of sup
port. Smith had several believers at that
time who thought that he could look
through wonderful stones he claimed
he had found ond see things far be
yond tho usual vision of man. Most
of the people, however, took but little
stock In lilm nnd thought him of email
account. The speaker then made an
expose of various so-called miracles
of the Mormon leader and then passed
Into a general discourse on his subject.
"The place for Mormonlsm," said he,
"Is with the other abominations and
evils which should all bo thrown out
and nbolished. It Is corrupting In ln
lluences and ono cannot find anything
comforting or of solace In Its creed.
"In the Bible one can find words
teaching a grand and noble lesson and
lifting us 'higher my Lord to Thee.'
Not so with Mormonlsm. It Is time
for the American peoplo to step In
nnd think seriously of this growing
evil."
The speaker then remarked: "Some
one, however, will probably ask 'How
It Is that such an Illiterate man as
Joseph Smith could construct and
write the great Moiman Bible?' Jos
eph Smith never wrote that Bible.
Solomon Spauldlng, an Ohio minister
wrote the book, but Intended It ns a
romanon or novel, never intending It
for nn thing serious. Ho left It with
a Pittsburg printing firm and while It
wns there the manuscript was copied
hv a workman by the name of Slrtn y
Rlgdon. This man later met Smith
nnd together the two men used It as
the foundntln- of the Jlo-raon faith."
Rev. Mr. Beardsley closed his rer
mon with a severe nrralgnmcnt of
Mormonlsm and n scnthlng denuncia
tion of its principles. He intends to
-tlnue h's researches into it and will
again visit Afton and Southern New
York. At some future date ho will
speak again on Mormonlsm.

DEMURRER HAS
BEEN WITHDRAWN
ANOTHER POSTPONEMENT OF
THE POOR BOARD CASE.
Attorney John F. Scragg Was Al

His Answer to tho Plaintiff's Aver
ments Injunction. Askod for by
Mrs. Ellen Taylor Against Georgo
W. Brown Argument Heard In
Caso of Mt. Pleasant Coal Company
Against D., L. & W.
Another postponement has taken
place In the long-drawn-out poor board
caso. After having undergone abotlt
every experience that Is possible to fall
to the lot of such a proceedl'-g, It was
scheduled for final argument, Saturday,
on the demurrer which tho defendant,
Poor Director F. J. DIckort, had ll'ed
to tho statement of tho relator, Attor
ney John .1. Murphy.
When the case was called, however,
Mr. Scrngg. attorney for the respond
ent, made a motion for permission to
withdraw the demurrer, that ho might
make formal nrswer to tho relator's
averments, particularly to tho ono al
leging that tho relator had been legally
elected. Court granted the motion and
gave tho respondent ten days In which
to file his answer.
Mr. Burns, attorney for Mr. Murphy,
urged upon court the necessity of a
speedy answer, that the case might be
gotten In shape for appeal before Feb
ruary, when tho Supreme court hears
Lackawanna cases. Court took this
Into consideration In fixing the tlmo
within which tho answer Is to bo tiled.

ing Mrs. nilen Taylor, secured a rule
from Judge Edwards, to show cause
why a preliminary Injunction should

erty. Mrs. Taylor owns a lot adjoining
Brown's livery stable on Robinson
street. She alleges Brown is about to
build a ru.iway from his barn to tho

five square feet of her property. Tho
rule was directed to be served on the

DANGEROUS WORK.
Coupling an Engine to a Fast Ex
press Train in Motion.
From tho New York Tribune.
"One of tho most scientific pieces
of railroad running I ever saw," said
John Ruggeis, a former employe of a
railroad company, who has now given
up rallrondlng and Is engaged In busi
ness at Milwaukee, "used to be done
on a road running an hour and a half
train from Philadelphia to this city,
and as tho present speed of locomo
tives had not been attuined It was
somewhat difficult of getting engineers
to make It. The terrific speed main
tained, together with the constant
strain of anxiety throughout the run,
told heavily on men's nerves and after
taking thu train through a few times
they had to give it up. But to return
to tho scientific work I started to tell
you of. To make such a schedule ev
ery minute that could be saved wit
counted. Princeton grade was ono
drawback to the run. It was long anJ
heavy, and an inevitable deluy always
mn
in school? Then you have
often heard them complain
of headache; have frequently
noticed how they go about
in a listless, indifferent way,
haven't you?
Scc?n& Emulsion,
does grand things for such
children. It brings a healthy
color to their cheeks,
strengthens their nerves, and
gives them the vigor that be
longs to youth. All delicate
children should take it.

ensued there. To Btop and couple on
two engines would not help matters,
as the time necessary for tho stop
more than equalled tho extra tlmo re
quired to climb tho grade. Flna.ly
they tried coupling on tho extra en
gine when running nt full speed and
the plan worked to perfection as long
ns the train was kept up. It was ono
of the most beautiful pieces of work I
ever saw. 'Ino extra onglne would e
running quietly along several miles
from tho grade, nnd when the express
came In sight tho speed of the extra
would be Increased until It was great
er than that of tho oncoming train.
Then little by little the engineer would
decrease tlio speed and dtop back un
til the englno and train would eo.no
together ns gently as a feather floats
to earth. A man stationed on the cow
catcher would couplo tho two engines
together and their united strength
would whisk tho train up the grado
with scarce any abatement of speed.
The grade surmounted, the forward
engine would then be uncoupled and
would run forwnrd at top speed until
It came to a switch whlcn was open
and waiting for it. Into this it would
run, the switch would bo closed and
a moment later tho fast pi'SJ
would thundred on lta way to Its de
stination. It was a pretty and s2isn
tlflo sight, nnd If you realize! tho
attendant danger a thrilling one ns
well to watch.
