Lackawanna Hardware 81 Lackawanna Avenuo Co,, Mill I BURGLARS MADE A HAUL ON THE HILL VISITED THREE HOUSES OX SATURDAY MORNING. They Secured Plunder to the Value of 81500 Places Visited Were Houses of F. E. Piatt, Assistant Postmaster D. W. Powell and Dr. J. N. Rice Several Ineffectual Shots Were Fired Milkman Glea son Was Held Up May Be Gang from New York State. The most pretentious burslatles which hap been committed In this city since I'unk Cotirtrlglit and hi? gang weio rounded up by the police on Chtlstimm Day, occurred here early Saturday morning, when throe housea on Sanderson Hill, were entered and burglarized between the hours of 1.4" nnd 4 SO o'clock, about $1,500 worth of Jewelry being Hecured. Fiom nil Indications It would appear rhat.nll tlueo parties, P. K. Piatt, who lives at tho corner of Web ster avenue and Olive street; As sistant Postmaster D. W. Pow ell, of 1034 Linden street, and Dr. J. N. Hlce, CIS Webster avenue, were tobbed by the simo burglar who then immediately took some train for parts unknown. At thp Towell residence tho entrv was made through a kitchen window, which method of Ingress wns employed nt each of the places, and complete seaich of the house was then Insti tuted for Jewelry, tho Intruder going ptinelpally through the bedrooms. Neither sllveiwaie, nor any nluables, besides Jewels, or other very portable articles, were taken. In Mr. Powell's room they found his vest containing a gold watch nnd chain, which they appropriated, the watch alone being worth $90. MRS POWELL AWAKENHD. About this time Mis. Powell was nwakenrd by a noise and quickly nroused her husband. He got up nnJ walking toward the door bumped Into a man. Ho thought It was his son Will, but on questioning him, the fel low turned and dashed down stalls. Mr. Powell, taking his revolver, tiled at the buiglar, but missed him. About 4 o'clock the iPlatt lesldence was plundered. Hpip the buiglar se cuied m Immense haul, piocuring sev eial pieces of valuable Jew eh y, upon which no definite aluc can be set, but which would piobably amount to over $1,000. Just as the burglar was leaving he was s-eop by Mr. Piatt, who Immedi ately Moctued his revolver and iliea several shots out of the window. Llk Mr. Powell, however, he missed his maik and the rascal got off unscathed. On going down fctulis islble evi dences weie shown of the intruder hav ing made himself perfectly to home and having thoioughly enjoyed his bilef stay in the place. A box of Mr. Piatt's cigars, which ho had kept In a desk, were Ulng on the table, with a half-smoked cigar ette beside them, and the loom hud a general appeaiance of the Intruder having made himself very comfoit tible. Hp took the following articles: Dia mond sunburst, star shape, eleven htones; diamond ling, maiked "J. C. P. from C. S. S. P."; scarf pin, sapph ire and eight diamonds; several stick pins, with small diamond and opal set tings; ticket fiom Seranton to New York, and one from New Yoik to Scianton; plain gold ting; gold bowed spectacles; about $20 in cash. At Dr. Wee's home, nono of the In mates were uroused, and it seems that the buiglai or buiglars should hive had an easy time in tho puisult of tin Ir infarlous pui poses. The place- was gone thiough eiy huiriedly how ever nnd only a. revolver and pail of cuff buttons were secuied. An attempt was also made to bur glailzc the residence of Colonel Holes, on Clay nvenue. An entiy was tiled through a side window at about 4.43 o'clock in the morning, but the bui glar was scaled off before lie managed to get In and do any damage. KNEW GOOD JEWELRY. The burglar must have been a con noisseur In Jewelry as he was seen iibout 4 20 o'clock In tho morning on Webster avenue by Milkman Albert Gleason, examining tho Jewels in the Jewel case taken from Piatt's and ac tuillv throwing some of them away. Gleason watched him a short while when the man suddenly looked up nnd walking over, savagely asked the milk man, "What aie er mbberln' at." Ho accompanied his words by pleasantly pointing a sl-shooter in Gkason's face. He then gnvp the milkman':! horse- a slish with a whip, causing it to st.iit down the stieut. He then dashed off at the top of his spied, throwing the Jewel case away la ins iiignt. this nas since been re loveicd nnd together with tho reject ed low els leturncd to the owner. A description of the man who held him up vvaH given to the police by Mr. Gleason, and they nre now woik In,? on the ease, A suspicion pievalls that the burglnis may be the mom ton of u gang who have been woik Ing Blughamton, Elmlia nnd other places in New Yoilc, making their visits to those places In ilose pioximity, and who have now tiansfeired the seat of their opeiatlons to Pennsylvania, THE CHILDEN OF THE GHETTO. Rabbi Salzman, of Wilkes-Barre, Believes It Is to Be Commended. At the South Washington Stteet tem ple, Wllkes-Baire, Friday evening Rabbi Salzmun gave an intcrestin-; dUcouise on Isiael Zangw Ill's play, "The Children of tho Ghetto," which was produced In this city duilng the week. Dr. Salzman went Into a stu dious atticism of the pioductlon, eon eluding that It was to be commended, its viitues outshining In datk places. In pait he said: What Is the purport of this play? Its nuiiin tells plainly. It hah been called uu Incomplete plcturo of Jcvvibh life. So It Is, It does not pretend to give a com plcto one. Necessarily it Is as Incomplete as tho Ghetto bondage is a comparative ly small pait of tho Jewish history. Hera wo aro brought face to face with men and women violently thrust upon them selves denied tho right of living men, tho scapigouts of ignorant and super stitious mdbtcrs, herded together like cattle, ct tho heirs of strong bouls ami helpful hearts. They are literally children of tho Ghet to, native, products, 'llicy aru not up rcfccntutlvcs of Jewish life, but only of u degree of Jewish 111 nut by the bide of thcso repulsive traits thero uro rich, mighty, redeeming virtues. Theio uie virtucn that uro Irrcpi edible; there Is u piety uih conlldeuco reaching tho ex ticmo; there Is u self tjucriflce that all must applaud; there Is a devotion that Is sublime; thero la fellow feeling, love of duty, a purity of home llfo thnt tnnko ono wonder. Wo did not expect to see such traits, Wo had n. vague notion that thev wero monsters not men. Wo had made so much of their faults and so 111 tlo of their virtues that we scarcely be lieved tho world would bo Interested In tl'ctn, nnd wo luivo tried again nnd again to lit thnt Ghetto pnst bury Its dead and bo forgotten. Wo hnd bought to deny kinship wllh them, hoping to make our. boIvps mora acceptable to men. Hut what cl nnge enmo over us us we saw the same faithfully reproduced! How tho humanity In us did nfsert It self! How willing wo were to call them our kinsmen! Wo felt proud of them Wo followed Ihctn, deeply nbnrbi d In their Jos and borrows, and when the iiirtiiln fell we remembered not m mm h the distorted features and ugly traits as tho grand, painful ones to deeply rooted In whole-souled nftectlrn. Tho Inst Im pression was thnt their virtues far out shone their vices. Will this play do tho Jew harm? Is It right to cpoo so nianv sacred things to public gaze? Many bellevo that no .tow should encourage it. It Is a mjstcry to mo how they como to that conclusion, I am Iiu lined to bellevo thnt they belong to tho class of apologetic Jiws, who are nhvnvs ready to ask forgiveness for be ing Jiws. 'I lie enthusiasm with which It was received wns not confined In the Jews. Home say actors nre responsible for It. but nctor.i cannot put life Into u dead thing. And ns for tho sic red things brought before us, it is uplifting to look upon them when thev con-.pcr.ite It to the pi ice It should hold. That Is tho reil stngo that It shows sanctities of life, the orrois nnd virtues of Its characters. It will bo n blrsnl day for mankind when the nlr of sinctltv becomes tho native nlr of the stage. Uroathlng In rich nlr man Is mnro than his ordlnttv solf; he is deeply Intel ested In all tint Is human.

Luther Hess Waring, pastor of Grace Luthcian chuich, delivered a thoughtful addiess yesterday afternoon nt the men's meeting held in tho Young Men's Christian association rooms on Washington avenue. The meeting was In chnige of Assistant Sectctary Haines. Rev. Mr. AVnring took as his topic, "The New Recruit." and used ns his text Matt., xv 11:51, "Xovv when tho ccntuiion and they that wero with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, tiuly this wus the Son of Cod." Ho went back to tho time of Christ and can led his listeners with hlin as he detailed the deba&ed nnd the de praved condition of almost the entire world in that age. He tefctrcd to the great battles of all history and said that on the day of the crucifixion there was begun the gieatest contest of nil tlmes.the battle of right against might; of hatted against love, and of daik ness against light. He lefeircd to the centuilon as being the "New Reciult," and told how, heathen though ho was, ho saw nnd heard enough at that hour of Clulst'a death to make him believe that here was a man whose power was gt eater than the power of the Roman emper or, a man who could command n.ituie Itself. In conclusion he -ald: "There Is no victory without n bat tle and theie Is no ohaiacter without temptation. Let us take up the shield of fnlth, ns St. Paul ays, that we may ward off the llery darts of tho evil one. Let us lake In hand that great offensive weapon of all Chris tians, tho svvoid of the spirit, which Is the word of God; let us have this sword over by our side so that vvp may assail when men come to assail us. Let us bo centuilons of salvation, with power from above and let us strive to enlist the sympathies of otheis In this great cause of Chi 1st." QUARTETTE ARRESTED.

The doctor himself calls Ills invention 11 "peacemakei," but with the greatest lespect to him, I do not bellevo ho had any Idea of saving llfo or an thing of thnt sort In mind while at woik upon the gun, whatever ho may have thought of It since. Theie wns a field for weapons, offensive and defensive, the more muiderous the for mer the better, and from what tlun existed In iltenrms and fiom tho fer tility of his own bt.iln, the Catling gun was evolved the Hist of Its kind.
