RAIDED BY BURGLARS.
They Ransacked the Home of Mr.
and Mrs. Willard Matthews,
Who Are Now in California.
This) city Is ngaln visited by profes
sional burslars. Tho latest depreda
tions worn made, on Saturday night at
the residence of Willard Matthews, on
Qulncy avenue. Mr. nnd Mrs. Mat
thews are In California, having; been
touring with Mr. and Mrs. II. G.
'Brooks for tho ra.st six weeks. When
they went awny tho house was closed
up and the courhman was left ns care
taker, belns Instructed to visit It
dally and see that all way right.
Sunday inornlng, when Up started on
his usual rounds, he found tho iloor
fastened, whleh ho usually entered
with a key In his possession. This
excited his suspicions nt once, land he
hastened to makn an entrance, when
he found the interior In a most up
pnlllng state of confusion. Not a
room had escaped the thorough ran
sacking which had taken place. Door3
which had been locked veto pried
open with a disregard to the hand
some wood. Bureau drawers were on
the floor with their contents over tli-j
rooms In tho wildest disorder. Beds
were turned topsy turvey, with tha
evident hope of finding corcealed valu
ables, and every portion of tho houso
bore evidence of the vandalism.
C. P. Matthews, XV. It. McClave and
T. K. Brooks were at once Wormed
of tho condition of affairs, and thesj
gentlemen spent a good portion of the
day In endeavoring to estimate tho
probable losses and to find n clew to
the perpetrators of the knavery.
Owing to tho absence of Mr. and
llrs, Matthews nnd tho uncertainty as
to how much silver was left In their
homo, it was impossible to know just
what had been stolen. Toduy tho
vaults nt the bank where they usual
ly stored their valuables, will be ex
plored, and it Is hoped that tho great
quantity of solid silver which they
possessed will bo found in safety.
That the burglars were; profession
als 4s apparent from the fact that tho
plated silver was fourd ctrewn around
all over thu louse. Many caskets
nnd boxes, whloh formerly held ster
ling articles were found torn open and
scattered about, but It Is uncertain
us to whether the thieves secured any
of the contents. A rlrhly rtirved side,
board is ruined by tho rough moasurfs
taken to open it, nnd many pieces
of handsome furniture In the shape of
dressing tables and bureaus are badly
marred. Poors of locked room3 twer-s
also .lammed open with tools, whleh
have left serious traces.
The chief of police believes that a.
gang of professional thieves has prob
ably been in the city, but 'at. a lato
hour last night no traces of the bur
glars could bo found. Tho depreda
tions are peculiarly unwelcome nt this
time ns Mrs. Matthews has been seri
ously ill in California, and will be
little able to withstand any further
shock.

They Will Be Publicly Distributed
to Soldiers on April 6 at the Ar

REV. 0. R, BEARDSLEY
ON HIS YEAR'S WORK
SPOKE IN THE UNIVERSALIST
CHURCH YESTERDAY.
He Has Just Closed His First Year
as Pastor of That Church Re
viewed tho Work Done in the Bun
day School, in the Y. P. C. XT., and
in the Church Itself and Stated
That There Is a Great Demand for
Vniversalism in This City Today
and That the Outlook Is Inviting.
Rev. O. R. Ueardsloy, pastor of All
Souls' Untversallst church, delivered n
sermon yesterday morning, giving ti
resume of his labors In Scranton dur
ing tho past year and telling of the
prospects of tho church for tho coming
year. Ho took his text from Cor.,
8-10:
Today closes our first year as pastor
and people. 1 dcslro to note the pleasant
union nnd above all tho more firmly es
tablished principles of our. glorious faith.
It is not necessary for mo to review tho
history of this church prior to my coming
here. I would rather speak to you "who
have begun before, not only to do, but
ulso to bo willing a yenr ago." When I
met you for tho first time, 1 was told by
the ono who Invited mo to meet you,
that here was a faithful band who had
struggled through years of toll to plant
n church In Scrunton that could take tho
name Liberal by holding fast to their
creed. I do not stop to question tha
methods vscd beforo I came, the right
or wrong way of work, enough for me to
know, that In good and evil report you
held to tho faith. There Is praise duo to
thoso who struggle for tho faith they
love, tho value Is to them sacred who per
huve.ro In tho face even of defeat. I tell
you tho mettlo men nnd women arc mado
of is moro clearly to bo seen In those
who, through tho changes of wisdom nnd
mismanagement keeps the cause to tho
front than to thoso who have fair sailing
nmld fair weather. All hall tho stand
ard bearers that can keep the flag up
and nt the front In seeming defeat and
success. All hall, tho band that never
surrender while tho banner floats.
THEIR SPECIAL WORK. "
I do not propose to preach at this time,
I would talk In regard to our special
work, of tho present and Us results nnd
of tho future with Its hopes. It Is well
for us at times to set nside special days
to tnko an Inventory of our possessions,
and lny plans for our future procedure.
The successful, business man knows nt
the end of the year tho business capltnl
he has to enter Into tho new year with.
Ills methods of work depends upon the
revelation given by the yearly Inventory.
I regard It equally essential for a church
to know Just how they stand, their pos
sessions ns compared to tho beginning
of tho year past. Let mo say right here
that I estimate tho vnluo of a church not
by tho number of feet frontage, not by
Its mnsslvo walls, neither by the number
of Its communicants. 1 would that every
church In this place had to enlarge Its
seating capacity, to nccommodato church
goers, and I would that tho peculiar and
distinctive doctrines that give them sep
arate names were proclaimed fearlessly
nnd forcibly. While I remain your pas
tor I desire it to bo distinctly understood
that I preach every Sabbath tho distinct
ive doctrine of the Untversallst church
us tho correct interpretation of tho Scrip
tures. In my year's labor here I find in
looking over the material employed, and
now on hand, that nono of our number
have become fascinated by any other
doctrine, nnd I bellevo I nm" correct when
I say that there is not one of our num
ber that has in tho past year said to any
other pastor of tho placo that they wero
moro In sympathy with his doctrine man
their own, but wero held to our church
by social ties, etc.
Every person who was willing a year
ago to assist In building up our doctrine
In this placo aro moro than anxious to
not weary In well doing. While church
membership has not been enlarged to my
expectancy during the year, I cannot see
It In any other light than that tho com
ing year will be tallsfactory In that di
rection. It is with Joy that I speak of
tho earnestness rhown by thoso who seek
this church, for a church home. They
must realize that their presence and
earnestness has enkindled a new tlamo of
hopo In tho hearts of those who wclcomo
them to our worship. 1 urge parents to
prcFent their children for baptism. I can
not road in this earnestness of parents
aught but a sincere desire to bring their
children up In the fear and nurture of the
I.ord. I believe I can read in tho lives
of those parents a brighter future, a
moro earnest nnd consecrated lire, as
the result of tho gift to them from God
of thoso blight Jewels that ara to tho
home tho central thought, and for which
llfo Is so cheerfully given. Under tho
supervision of our Sunday school superin
tendent and his faithful teachers we have
every reason to rejoice.
SUNDAY SCHOOL.
The Sunday school has a healthy
growth. It Is enthused by young blood.
Wo aro more and moro recognizing tho
fact that our doctrine of tho God love,
and the meting out In Justice life's bless
ings and life's needed chastisements to
humanity, finds a hearty sanction in their
young minds to clearly discern right and
wrong beforo their minds become warped
or case hardened by circumstances and
conditions of their own llfo that shrink
at tho thought of Justice. Wo do not
have to hold back tho fundamentals of
our fnlth to hold tho children. The
clearer wo set forth tho doctiiuo of our
church thu moro tho children lovo to hear
the old, old story of God and Jesus und
their love. Wo believe, because experi
ence teaches It, that a child taught In
such a way that It does right because It
lavee to, not becauso It has to, possesses
tho truo spirit und gives promise of high
er spiritual development than were tho
cause reversed. Wo believe tho principle
wo teach will naturally draw tho child to
God In Its Joys and sorrows, In Its Joy
In doing, flnil for its correction for wrong.
Wo bellovo there Is room und need of
such teachings In this place. Our Young
People's Christian union, while not largo
In number, Is large in consecration. Wo
nre well awaro of tho good being dono
and sincerely ndvibo a closer relation ot
tha older members to tho work, und their
Intercession among the younger to be
come nctlvo workers. Let the younger
members cut loose the tonguo and speak
tho heart's sentiments and I believe It
would tend wonderfully to not only in
crease their spirit but would Increase an
Interest in all being prompt at their
places at tho appointed hour to drink In
und glvo out tho beneficial object of tho
order. I would urgo as a part ot tho
ccmlng year 8 work a liberal assistance
financially to the church. While we nre
not believers In the so-called trinity, we
enn point to our church, Sunday school
and Young People's Chrlstluu union as
agreeing In one.
Jt may bo usked by some why struggle
to establish a permanent Unlversalist
church In Scrunton when tho doctrine
that stands against ours Is being pre
sented In such modified form, thut only
on special occasions the old dogmas aro
given an utrlng? I reply that In my opin
ion there never was a greater demand
for us to tatfo our position than today. I
regard tho tendency of tho times is lend
ing men to regard religion ns ot a su
perficial nature, nnd believing us wo do
In tho natural inclination of men to wor
ship, they are liable to full short of the
deep spiritual emotions of character,
when thu church Is held as an end in
stead ot a means of salvation, and fur
ther when salvutlon Is taught as an es
cape from Justice, instead ot a birth and
development of a character that In the
even tenor of its ways truly worships
God and loves humanity.

REV. A. C. GAEBLIN SPOKE.
Addressed a Union Y. W. C. A. Meet
ing in Grace Church.
Rev. A. C. Gaeblln. of New York city,
yesterday afternoon addressed the
members of the united branches of the
Young Women's Christian association
of this city at Grace Reformed church.
Rev. Alrlch, pastor of the church,
presided over the meeting and intro
duced Rev. Gaeblln. The latter 1s at
tho head of the Hopo of Israel mission
In New York and does considerable
mission work among tho Jewish resi
dents. He will remain here today and
tomorrow, giving talks tft Grace Re
formed church. He chose as his theme
yesterday tho gospel of Matthew and
spoke eloquently and forcefully upon it.
"I will give an outline," he said, "of
the gospel as expressed by Matthew,
It has been briefly termed the Genesis
of the New Testament, dealing as It
does with tho beginning of the new
era."
He spoke briefly of dispensatlonal
teaching and said: "The person who de
spises dispensatlonal teaching can never
grasp tho scopo of tho marvelous teach
ings of Matthew." From this he passed
to the tendency of some people to
Imagine the gospel is simply a chrono
logical history of Jesus Christ. Its
mission in such cases Is entirely lost.
"Christ must be shown," sold tho
speaker, "first, as the King of the
Jows; second, ns an obedient servant,
and, third, as the only begotten son of
the Holy Father.
"There are seven things irt Matthew's
teachings which must be carefully ex
amined and studied. They are the
King, his Kingdom ot Heaven, the
King and kingdom rejected, the king
dom people rejected, the King of Heav
en, the revelation of the church and
the prophecy of Jesus Christ on the
Mount of Olives."
He carefully analyzed these various
points, thoroughly explaining and go
ing over each one.
Last night Rev. Gaeblln addressed the
congregatlonof Grace Reformed church
on the "Psalms." He spoke against the
modern practice of applying them In
a too realistic manner, such as Presi
dent Kruger's sending one of them to
a certain general, as the directions for
the conducting of a battle. He also
spoke concerning the Jews, and the
coming of another Messiah.
"He will come this time in all his
power and glory," said the speaker,
"and will be received with due homage
and respect by the people of God, who
of late years have been rather as err
ing children."
In his talks this and tomorrow after
noon and night. Rev. Gaeblln will
speak on "The Psalms," the "People
of God" and "The Glory of God Yet to
Be Revealed."

MEASURES THAT
DIED Ni COMMON
FAILED TO PASS THAT BRANCH
OF COUNCIL.
Some of Them Never Got Through
Committee and Others Had Passed
One and Two Readings Two of
the Most Important of the Meas
ures Are the Speakeasy Ordinance
And That Establishing Water
' Rates in the City Poultry Ordin
ance Will Dio with Councils.
While the record of common council
in the matter of allowing measures of
vatlous kinds to die of their own ac
cord by not acting upon them Is not
quite as enviable as that of select,
nevertheless the number of ordinances
thus killed Is very large, there being
some twenty-five now reposing In the
flics of the various committees of that
body and in the first and second and
third reading files of the clerk.
The most Important of these is prob
ably Councilman Melvln's ordinance
establishing the water rates to be
charged by tho Scranton Gas and Wat
er company. This was referred to the
light and water committee and never
got beyond that body. 'Another im
portant ordinance thus killed Is the
one making the keeping of an unli
censed saloon a misdemeanor. This
never got beyond first reading.
The following ordinances had passed
two readings and were awaiting third
and final when the last meeting of
common was held last Thursday night:
ON TWO READINGS.
Providing for tho construction of a
pavement on Penn avenue In front of tho
Hundley estate.
Providing for an electric light In tho
Third ward.
Providing for nn additional permanent
man for the General Phlnney Englno
company.
Providing for tho purchase of a third
class englno for tho Franklin company.
Providing for two electric lights in the
Second ward.
Providing for tho opening of Vino street
between Irving and Prescott avenues.
Providing for nn electric light In tho
Fourteenth ward.
Providing for two electric lights In tho
Sixth ward.
The following ordinances had been
reported favorably from committee, but
had not yet passed first or pecond read
ing: Providing for the pavement of McKenna
court.
Providing for tho payment of tho claim
of Thomas Stevens.
Establishing tho grade of'Capouse ave
nue. Providing for two hydrants In the Thir
teenth ward.
Providing for two electric lights in the
Twentieth ward.
Providing for a flro alarm box at the
corner of Cayuga nnd Bloom avenues.
Transferring funds for tho repair of the
Franklin engine.
TWO HELD UP.
The fire department committee held
up only two ordinances, which Is doing
rather well compared with select. They
provided for the erection of a hydrant
In the First ward and for the payment
of the claim of J.' H. Spain.
The streets and "bridges committee
failed to act upon an ordinance pro
