THE LATE MR. MOODY. Beautiful Tribute from tho Pen of Rev. James Hughes. The Tribune has received from tho Itev. James Hughes, the following beautiful tribute to tho latu Mr. Moody: As I nm debarred from taking duty today at my church, on account of seri ous domestic ullllctlon.lilndly permit mo t. express through your columns what I most certainly would express from my pulpit, a word of deep sympathy with nearly all who speak tho Hngllsli lan guage In tho various zones of the rolling globo who mourn on account of tho death of tho great evangelist, Mr. Motxly. In tho demise of this distinguished Chris tian gentleman, the church of God has sustained a loss of no ordinary magni tude. When death comes, as a rule. It Is like an arrow passing through tho air, which soon closes upon it, nnd all is tranquil again. But when such a grout llfo and ornament of tiio church as the lato Mr. Moody was, Is quenched, such nn event somewhat resembles tho apocalyptic vial poured Into that element named and which changed Its temperature and pro duced fearful commotions. Well do I remember how his visits to England were looked for by the churches with prayerful expectancy, and how his ministrations there stirred up tho relig ious life of tho whole country, and re sulted In a glorious spiritual harvest. I shall never forget the pleasure It gavo me while living In South Africa when I read tho reports of tho wonderful work which tho Lord was doing through Ills honored servant in this country. Often was my soul refreshed In tho midst of tho depressing Influences of an Afrlcun life, when I read some of his sweet evangeli cal utterances. Ho was a great person ality, and a mighty religious force. His labors created an epoch in church life. Thero was but one Mr. Moody, though there arc hosts of fceblo Imitators; ns in Hnglnnd there was but ono Mr. Spur geon, though there wero many who nped him. No one can estimate tho amount of good that was accomplished by that ono man, whose death Is slncerc'.y mourned by Kngllsh-sp "king people today, throughout tho world. He was no fiery recluse trylr.g to preneh the people Into a new crusade; but like a mild and earnest seer, while he moved about among tho people, he boro olwmt with him a rever ent consciousness that he dealt with the majesty of man. nnd by tho magnetic force of spiritual life, drew nround him nil grades and conditions of human life, which ho directed with marvelous power nnd clearness of thought and simplicity of language, to the only refuge for guilty man. Thank God for the life and labors of Mr. Moody. RELIGIOUS NEWS NOTES. An appropriate Christmas service was held In the Young Men"s Christian asso ciation rooms, yesterday afternoon. Af ter a brief Introductory song service, Georgo G. Malty, the general secretary, spoko on tho theme, "Thanks Bo I'nto God for Ills Unspeakable Gift," 2 Cor., lx:10. Mr. Many pointed out tho fact that tho writings which have como down to us, of men who lived just prior to about tho tlmo of Christ s advent, reveal ed a state of strange unrest and even of hopelessness and despondency. For the future of the human race, personal vir tue, honesty, kindness, gratitude, sympa thy, and in fact every quality which makes human society and human pro gress possible, seemed to these writers to be dying out and they could seo no light on tho problem for the future. They wero unfamiliar witli God's proph ecy in lea., xlll:C. "I Will Give Him for a Light to tho Gentiles," us afterwards they wero Ignorant of the planting of tho llttlo seed In Palestine, which should af terwards fill the earth with Its majestic growth and overthrow every forco and power of evil arrayed ngainst It. What was truo In tho world before Christ came has been truo In tho life of every man who Is capablo of taking a serious look Into tho future. Vnrest lllls him, the fu ture is dark to him. But where tho llfo and tho light and the glory of Christ Is revealed to and nceepled by him, he, too, can say what Paul said, "Thanks Be to Qod for Ills Unspeakable Gift." "Incarnation; True and Mythical was the themo discussed by Kev. I. J. Lansing yesterday morning In tho Green Uidgo Presbyterian church. In the evening ho delivered n Christmas sermon on "Buys from Bethlehem's Star " "Tho Origin of Sinn; n Clirlstmrs Thought" and "Tho Destiny of Man: A Christmas Thought," were tho subjects of two able sermons delivered yesterday by Itev.

Silver-Dollar Smith's Funeral. Now York, Dec. 24. The greatest fu neral crowd that ever assembled on tho Kust Side, gathered about noon today to take a last look at former Assemblyman Charles (Sliver Dollar) Smith, who died Friday at his homo on Rsscx street.

Ho Is Ono of tho Greatest Romancers of tho Present Ago Reason Hon. Cyrus Gordon Was Able to Come to This City to Hold Court Dr. Henry Welaenberg-, tho Houso Sur geon at tho Lackawanna Hospital. Ambition of Henry J. O'Malley, of tho Third Wnrd. "Who Ig Whitney?" Is a question frequently nsked In thin city of at taches of Tho Tribune by parties who Have come to look for his weekly con tribution from Susquehanna qulto .13 nnlxously ns they do for anything olso that appears In tho paper. Who Whitney Is can't ho nnswered at any great length for ho' Is just a news paperman and newspapermen aro such Impersonal beings that they do not admit of very lengthy descriptions. Suffice It to say of him In this re cord that ho Is middle-aged and mar ried nnd pretty well tlought of by his neighbors especially those who don't happen 'to read of yomo of the SolngS'on of Wayne, riko nnd Susque hanna counties, ns he describes thorn, In tho Now York nnJ Philadelphia pap?rs. Hut, as to his deeds. tie Is cor tnlnly ono of tho greatest romaucorts that over caused a metropolitan n'jws editor to teleErnph n corres pondent: "Aro you pure of your facts?" Ills ynrns are mostly of tho highly Improbable order, but his clever way of dressing them up makes them pass current for news matter and many a paper ncccpts his "stuff" and prints It bellovliiB It to bo a narration of nctunl fact. Once In a while he gets a query :"Is your source of Information on mad bull story au thentic?" to which he Invariably re sponds: "Do you want affidavits?" One of the best stories told on Whitney Is to tho eftcct that tho freak styllntr himself the Human Ostrich, while nt The Tribune oillcs ono night to Invito a. reporter to wit ness lils exhibition of eating- horse shoe nails, lamp chimneys, coiks, and other like delicacies, wns shown a Whitney stoiy tolling of n cow be longing to a poor crippled widow that gathered faggots on Its horns whiles grazing, brought them homo at even ing and dumped them into tho wood box. "Nop," said the Human Os trich, "I can't swallow that." No jurist who ha come hero to assist In the local conits has won more popularity and admiration from the members of tho bar than Hon. Cyrus Gordon, of Clearfield, who pre sided here recently In the Carbondale township murder cas nndt 'in tin Smlth-Loomls ejectment suit at tho Inst term of common pleas. His busi ness-like way of conducting a case and his modest, dlgnilled and courteous manners, at once brought hint Into favor with tho law-yen-., und his com ing wilt always be welcomed by the Lackawanna bar. Judge Gordon's presence hero has an Interesting story behind It. Just at present thcio Is no court In his coun ty; nt least there nn r.o Jury trials. A Democratic ofl'cial was to bo tried thero two months ago for embezzle ment. The Pemocratlc official was a close friend of tho Democratic jury commissioner. The accused olllclal se lected tho names of several hundred of his closest friends throughout tho county and induced the Jurv com missioner to allow hlr.i to substitute them for tho names that were In the Jury wheel. Tho fraud was discovered and as there Is no law covering such an emergency, courts in that county had to be suspended until next year. The accused olllclal and the jurv commissioner aro vlslllnrr friends in Canada or somo other distant cllmo, and Judge Gordon Is going around the state assisting in conduftlr.fr courts In busy counties, where they have jury wheels that have not been tamperu with. Dr. Henry Weisenberg. the new house surgeon at tho Lackawanna hospital, is ono of tho mest popular physician over connected with that In stitution. He was especially fortunate in b"lnpr promoted to the nouse-sur-geonshlp after having served but four months as junior surgeon. Dr. Weaver's term having expired. He has proved h'mself equal to the emergency. The lower or men's surgical ward of the hospltnl, the care of which devolves upon the houso surgeon, has been es pecially crowded during tho 'past two months, and It requires not only a good medical skill but also great pres ence of mind and foresight In Its management, all of which qunlltles Dr. Weisenherg has displayed The doctor is a Now Yorker by birth nnd at first Intended to become an electrical engineer. With this intent Iip entered Lafayette college and com menced a course In electrical engi neering. In n short time, however, ho abandoned this idea nnd took up a course In chemlstrv, which he finished ..nor two vear's hard work. He thn entered the University of Pennsyl vania and completed the four years' medical com so, graduating with the i-lass of ")9. A number of Scranton ooooooooooooooooo Cigars. 90000 "Bock & Co."

Theso and a number of other local friends would no doubt be pleased to havo tho doctor settle down In this city upon the expiration of hi term, nnd there Is a strong probability that he will do so. Talking- nbout men of tho hour, It wouM seem that School Controller Henry J. O'Malley, of the Third ward, Is deserving of some mention. Somo of the things done bv Mr. O'Malley during his term on the board of con trol could make Interesting reading-, but that Isn't hero nor there. Just at present the public will bo chiefly concerned In what Mr. O'Malley pro poses to do. When his candidacy for the select council was recently an nounced it wos generally suppose that the gentleman from tho Third had In mind that his talents would bo of more service tr his ward as a mem ber of tho upper branch of tho city legislature than as their representa tive among the law makers of tho school district, but it now develops that this dees not fully express Mr. O'Malley's Ideas. Mr. O'Malley proposes to f.ervo In both capacities. The law governing the Incompatahlllty of offices reads: "No person shall at the same tlmo be a member of more than one of tho following bodies, to wit: Tho councils, the city guardians of tho poor, tho board of health, and the Inspectors a! the county r-rison: nor shall any per pon be a member of any of thes bodies who Is nt tho same tlmo a salaried ofl'cer tinder tho samo. or any of tbrm Members of councils shall not horetafter hold any city or county ofHces !n tho choice of tho people while pervfng as a mem ber of said councils." Mr. O'Mollov contends that school contro'ler Is not n city office, the courts tlmo and again having dis tinguished between the school district nnd the municipality. If elected. M.-. O'Malley proposes to terve In both mn nn matter what may bo th exnenso of time and effort on his part Mr. O'Malley is Who will say in;u not a truo patriot' A STRINGENT FOOD LAW. Prohibits the Use of Arsenic or Alum in All Articles of Diet. The law enacted by tho Missouri leg islature, which prohibits the manu facture or sale of any article Intended for food or to be used In the prepara tion of food, which contains alum, ar senic, ammonlu, etc., places that state In the advance In the matter of sani tary legislation. Laws restricting tho use of alum in bread havo been in force In England, Germany nnd France for many years. In this country, In Minnesota, Wiscon sin. Michigan, Ohio.. Kentucky and several other states, direct legislation In reference to the sale of alum baking powders has also been effected. In several of these states their sale Is prohibited unless thoy ore branded to show that they contatn alum, and in the District of Columbia, under tho laws of congress, the sale of bread con taining alum has been made Illegal. Following nro the names of some of the brands of baking powder sold in this vicinity which aro shown by re cent analysis to contain alum. House keepers and grocers should out the list out and keep It for future refer ence: Baking Powders Containing Alum: KGG Contains Alum. Kgg Baking Powder Co., New York. DAVIS' O. K Contains Alum. It. B. Davis & Co., New York. Crown Contains Alum. J. P. Dieter Co., Chicago. LESLIE'S Contains Alum. Tho A. Colburn Co., Philadelphia. GRAND UNION Contains Alum. Grand Union Tea Co., New York . A. & P Contains Alum. Great Atlantic & l'aclilc Tea Co., New York. The housekeeper should bear In mlnJ that alum makes a cheap baking pow der. It costs but two cents a pound while cream of tartar costs thirty. The quality of the powder Is therefore usually Indicated by tho price. MOODY'S FUNERAL.

Moody remained Indoors nearly the entire day, owing to the constant downpour of rain, leaving the houso only for a brief Interval during tho forenoon to attend services at tha Congregational church.

JONES' HOUSE NEARLY $200 WORTH OF VALU ABLES STOLEN. Thirty-four Dollars In Money Was Also Taken from a Rook Case Drawer Entrance to the House Gained by Prying Open the Back Door List of tho Articles Stolen. Most of tho Plunder Was Mrs. Jones' Wedding Presents No Cluo to the Burglars. Burglars entered the homo of Prof. John T. Jones, prlnclpnl of No. IS school, on North Main avenue, last evening, 'and made n rich haul, carry ing away silver, gold and money amounting In nil to over $200. En trance was gained by prying open the rear door, nnd every room'ln the house was ransacked and tho contents of bookcases, dressers, etc., were strewn over tho lloor, tables, chairs and beds. The work'wns evidently done by pro fessional burglars, Judging from tho articles taken and the manner In which entrance was gained nnd the way things wero left. The theft Is 'all tho more deplorable from the fact that nearly everything taken wero tho wed ding presents Mrs. Jones received only a short 'time ago. The various articles taken, which could bo accounted for readily last evening, were as follows: One dozen silver teaspoons, marked with the In itials M. T.; eight silver teaspoons, un marked; eight silver table forks.markcd with tho German Initial M.i'ono silver berry spoon, one silver sugar spoon, one silver sugar shell, ono gentleman's gold watch, $34 In money, one gold ring, -with moonstone sotting; one gold ring, with topaz setting; St. Cecilia medallion: one gold stlck-pln, with Lily of tho Valley setting; one pair of gold cuff pins, one palr'of gold-rimmed eye-glasses, one dozen sliver knives, half dozen sliver dessert spoons, gold class pin, marked "88, 13. S. N. S." 'and a gold society pin, marked "Phlloglan." ARTICLES UNDISTURBED. Tho articles of value which were 'un disturbed were a gold watch, which lay In a small box on Mrs. Jones' dresser, and several silver 'forks and spoons, which lay on the dining room table, bearing the family, monogram. The thieves did not(r''".ry away anything that could no' "readily bestowed away In their pockets. The house Is situated at a point over looking tho Delaware, Lackawanna'and Western railroad from the rear, and directly back of the yard is nn open plot of ground, which Is commonly known 'as tho "Diamond Meld." Tha premises were undoubtedly approached from the rear, and In making their exit the thieves left tho same way they en tered, i Mr. and Mrs. Jones wero spending tho afternoon and evening nt the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Dyer, on 'Jack son street, and returned home about 8.45 o'clock. When they approached tho front door, they found the keyhole 'had been plugged, and It was with some difficulty tho door wos unlocked. Upon entering the sitting room an -unusual sight' met their gaze. Tho combination bookcase and writ ing desk had been pried open and the drawers, with their contents, scattered over the floor. Tho money taken was found by-the thieves in one of tho drawers. A pack of playing cards hod evidently been recklessly tossed asun der, as they were found on the table, lloor and chairs. Two of tho 'cards lay on nn open Bible on one of the chairs, and had evidently been placed there by the plunderers, as 'they appeared to havo been set perfectly straight on either page of the open book. SORTED THE SILVER. The sllverwnrc' was evidently ported out on the dining room table, as the forks and spoons left behind wero found there. Nothing was disturbed in the parlor, excepting tho medallion, which wns taken from the table. Both windows in the kitchen were unlocked nnd also the door, which had been pried open with a crow bar or chisel. The thieves were considerate enough to pull down the curtains on either side of the house, and shut the fold ing doors between the sitting room and the pallor, In order to prevent the neighbors from witnessing their ne farious work. They also lit the gas to assist them in carrying out their plans. Jiurnt matches were scattered f f f Se.d?:e" $loo i Men's Seal Goat Tan Slinners Men's Seal Goat Wine " Men's Chocolate anil Black Slippers. Men's Brown (ioat Slippers Have always sold for 2.

The nrtlcles of Jewelry mentioned wore found In the bureau drawers and on tho dressing case, whero Mrs. Jones' gold watch was left undisturbed Tin drawers nnd contents wero scattereJ over tho beds and on tho lloor. The entire Interior of the house looked as though a cyclone had struck It, bo much disorder being arparent. As soon a? tho robbery waB dis covered Mr. Jones notified Detective Dyer of tho occurence, and tho shrewd llttlo officer began woik on tho case. Tho central nnd suburban police wero notified by telephone, find an Itemized list made of the nrtlcles stolen. Tho above description of the things taken was: furnished bv Mrs. Jones and Is aourato In so far ns the losses wero discovered last night. THERE IS NO CLUE. Neither Prof. Jones nor his wife can remember having seen nny suspicious characters lurking around tho prem ises, but their supposition Is that tho house was entered after dark, and thot the thieves left the premises but a short tlrrie before they returned homo. Their neighbors on tho north side of tho house were entertaining tho family who reside on the south sldo of the building, nnd between the time Mr. and Mrs. Jones left and returned, the two families had occasion to pass In tho rear of tho house, but nono of them paw anybody uround tho premises, and know nothing of the burglary until Informed by Mr. Jones. The case will be worked out, If possible. Lieutenant Williams having. personally visited tho house last nignt nnd mado an Investigation of tho premises. WANTED TO GO TO JAIL. Patrolman McColligan Took tho Man at His Word. "Take mo to jail; that's where I want to go," said an Intoxicated man who leaned confidingly against Patrolman McColligan on South Washington ave nue yesterday afternoon. To be sure he didn't say It in quite as steady a manner as tho above would Indicate, but the staid types re fused to reproduce the unevenness of his speech. It was Christmas, even the patrol man was filled with the spirit of tho occasion and ho took his man to Jail, as per request. This morning ho will have an opportunity of explaining why he was so anxious to get behind the bars. MARRIED. COX-SOPER-Dcc. 17, 1SP9, at Dover, N. J., by tho Rev. Carl Pronkey.
