FIRE WARDENS MUST ACT.
State Forestry Commission Can Do
Nothing to Check Forest Fires.
Chief Clerk Conklln, of the State
Forestry commission, says tho unusual
numbei of forest flies raging thiough
out Pennsylvania this spring Is the
lesult of the general lack of the cus
tomaty spring lalns and the conse.
quent dryness of the uudeigiowth of
the forests. The giowth of leaves on
the tiees has been very backward, and
the conditions have been favorable to
n spiead of forest (lies.
There are no steps that can be taken
bv the Foiestry commission in the
direction of fighting the fires, except
thinugh the fire wardens of the var

WIDE OPEN SUNDAY
SAME AS BEFORE
SALOON KEEPERS NOT MUCH
AFRAID OF CRUSADERS.
Tribune Reporter Describes a Tour
of the Central City Bar Rooms
Mado Yesterday Afternoon Rep
resentatives of tho Men's Union
Wcrn About the City Yesterday
and' Told Saloon Keepers to Close
or Look Out for Trouble Eleven
More- Warrants Issued.
It was predicted during the week
that yesterday would be a ery drv
Sunday In Scranton, but It was far
from that. 4
No man with u thirst, no matter how
robust It was, had any difficulty In
extinguishing It. At very few of the
places In tin central city was the pre
caution taken of -Statloning-a guard at
the side door. It was open to all com
ers and the contents of the bar was
at the disposal of the caller If ho had
the price.
There nio thtee saloons In the cen
tint patt of tho city that are closed
tight every Sunday, and the propil
ctors of these places did not depart
ftom their usual custom jesterday
As a result of last week's crusade
Iheh number was Increased by one
jesterdny. A pi eminent restauiant
keeper had his bar closed, though he
served meal" nnd lunches to all corn
els, liven with meals he lefuscd to
seiM- beer or liquois.
UKPOUTKIt IMAKKS THII HOUNDS.
Dining tho afternoon hours a Trib
une lepoiter made the lounds of tlu
moie momlncnt vUmms of the central
city and found them all doing a heavy
business. in .1 few Instances beer was
ladled out under the name of ginger
alo nnd Weiss beer, but usually even
that slight subtcifuge was not icsorel
to by the .saloon men. One of the
Places Uslted was that of a man nr
lested last week, who Is now under
bail Ills place was thionged, and the
Inukeepets weie kept on a run wall
ing on tho thlisty multitude.
Itepiesentatlves of the Men's union
of Gicen Ridge weie about tho city
yestpidny for tho puipose of ascertain
ing the way In which the law was
being obsetved. Some of these went
out secietly and some openly The lat
ter went Into all the saloons which
weie open, and told the prortiletors to
close or look out for squalls. The re
quest was heeded for a time by neatly
all of the saloonkeepeis, but they al
most Invailably opened again after a
time.
Last night the icpresentntives of the
union prepaied a statement, gling th"
name of each dilnklntr place vlslte i
and the condition of affair- that they
found there. It ceitalnly goes to prop
that the crusade has not as yet scaipj
the liquor dealers very badly.

DICKERT TO MAKE ANSWER.
The One Question Remaining Unset
tled in the Poor Board Case.
AneWcr will be made Noday by At
torney John F. Scrngg, for Poor Di
rector F. I j. Dlckert, to the quo wr
lanto brought by John J. Murphy,
to secure the "South wind" s?at on
the poor boatd.
The only question lemaiulng to be
settled Is whether or not Mr, Mur
phy's election In !!! was a legal pos
sibility. Judge Kdwnrds has decided
and tho supreme court affirmed that
It Is for the people to elect nnd not
for tho president Judge to appoint.
Judge Kdwnrds, furthermore, gave It
ns his opinion that 1859 seemed to be
tho proper year In which to hold an
election.
Tho respondent will say In his an
swer thai while all this may be true,
Mr. Murphy was not legally elected,
as It Is Impossible to hold an election
In the old South ward, tho election
machinery having been deMroyed. Tho
answer will aver that new territory
has been added to the South Side
wards, which, generally speaking, com
prise the old South ward, and other
territory taken out of It.
Mr. Murphy holds that as he had no
opposition and received votes In all
of the South Side wprds, ho must nec
essarily have received nt least one
legal oto and consequently a -.valid
election occurred
The matter will In nil probability
be settled finally at the next term of
aiguinent coutt.
ABOUT MISFIT MARRIAGES
Sermon of Rev. R. F. Y. Pierce Last
Night in the Penn Avenue
Baptist Church.
Rev. R. F. Y. Pierce, V. D., p.wtor of
the Penn Avenuo Baptist church,
pleached a forcible senium last even
ing before a large congiegr.tlon, tak
ing as his theme, "Unequally Tnk"d
Together, or Misfit Muulages." IIo
found his text In the Second Hnistlc
to tho Corinthians, lMt: "Be ye not
unequally yoked together with unbe
lievers." Among the many excellent
things he said weie:
"Paul says that the cnuieh of today
mufat not fotm unholy alliances. He
says that good and evil cannot be uni
ted and that the people of !od must
live apart from tho world. A"ou can't
pick up coal without being soited, ou
can't toy with sin without hiving your
life blighted There are soni" hrppy
homes where husbands and wives arc
not of one lellgious faith, but there aie
thousands of other homes that are un
happy and In which there a.e thous
and? of bleeding hearts It young peo
ple only thought before thev stand at
the altar rail together, If they only
thought of the tremendous conse
quences, there would be less mapiage.s
between the believer and unbeliever.
"1 do not marry all the couples who
come before me, and I hope none of
you will eer come unless God has
bound our hearts with eternal loe
and affection. The unity of those of
different forms of Christian worship
is also a bad thing. The wife claims
that her church Is the light one; the
husband claims that his Is, disputes
ailse, discord comes and families are
dliupted.
"Some people flippantly say that
marriage Is a lotteiy. Mairlage Is not
a lottery and the man and woman
who start out with this view In mind
will wind up sooner or later In the
dhoiee couit. Mairlage Is a God or
dained Institution and should be the
culmination of a deliberate choice and
a wise selection.
"There should be a complete yield
ing of hearts and a sut rendering of
life to life. This is what makes the
true marilage ceremony beautiful.
Marriage always reveals faults, for In
courting man) defects are hidden. The
true man or woman should not say,
however, that ho or she has been dis
appointed and then drift away. There
aie Intellectual mltfits In married life.
The husband may be well educated,
and the wife not so well, and one looks
dow n upon the other.
"I would bay to cveiy young woman,
don't marry n man of some other re
ligious belief than your own unless you
believe before God that you are or
dained to do It. Be suie you think
ulike as well as love alike. I would
say to every young woman. Don't
many n man to lefonn him, unless
theie Is manhood and character In him
to reform. I would tell oung men not
to mairy 'or beauty alone, for If they
do, mairlage will Indeed prove to be a
lottety nnd the ticket diawn will be
oftentimes a blank. Finally I would
say to all young people contemplating
mairlngp' Don't marry until you thor
oughly understand each other's tem
perament." m

BRIEF MENTION OF
MEN OF THE HOUR
E. B. STURQES, WHO IS AT THE
HEAD OF CRUSADE.
Years Ago When He Bore tho Brunt
of a Similar Movement His Friends
Told Him Ho Was Inviting Certain
Ruin, but They Troved Bad Pro
phets Success of F. W. Pcarsall
as a Railroad Y. M. C. A. Worker.
Praise for E. W. Softly The New
Clerk of Common Council.
It takes a man with a lot of sand as
well ns a lot of civic pride and consid
eration pro bono publico, to under
take tho task that has been assumed
by E. B. Sturges and his associates of
the Men's union of Green Ridge. Thero
Is no question of Mr. Sturges possess
ing a deep regard for the clts wel
fare, and those who know hlni will
not hesitate to tell you he has tho
other requisite. He led the crusade
of 1870, which gate this city such a
cleansing that It didn't know Its moral
self when It stopped to tnko a loo.t
nbout at the conclusion of the ck'.i us
ing process.
Mr. Stuiges was then a young law
jcr with his name and fortune to
make. He was told by his friends
that he was surely ruining every
chance he pohsibly could have for suc
cess. He thought differently and pci
severed ns his light led hlin. Today he
Is one of the most prominent, icspect
ed nnd, Incidentally, wealthiest men
In the city. He proceeded on the prin
ciple that honest, law-abiding and law
respecting men would understand his
motives and he did not care what the
other fellows thought about him or his
work. Ho did not expect applause
from the men who were then learning,
with sadness and sorrow, that the law
cannot be Ignored and spat upon Is
theie Is enough chic pride In a com
munity to raise a Drotest.
F. W Pearsall, the former secretaty
of the Railroad Young Men's Christian
association of this city was in town
Saturday nnd esteiday and was
warmly greeted by his host of Scran
ton ft lends and ndmlrets. Mr. Pear
sail may almost be described as the
father, or at least the step-father of
the inllroad association movement In
this cit, for with his coming It re
ceived Its gieatest Impetus He woiked
early and late to build It up and
lead men to turn their thoughts to the
Master It was not alone In associa
tion work that his energy and strong
peisonnllty was felt In every form
of missionary work in the city his ser
vices were freely asked for and al
ways given
When the Spanish war broke out and
the necessity for Y. M. C. A. field
workers was apparent. Mi. Pearsal!
was one of the first asked by the
International committee to go for
ward with the soldiers. He hesitated
not a moment. There was woik to be
done nnd he wanted to do It and a few
days afterward found him at Chlcka
mauga, where he did yeoman service
among the young men drawn from all
parts of the countiy to that great
mobilizing camp. Soon nfter his ie
turn to this city he was called to en
ter a wider field of usefulness In the
Railroad association of New York. The
qualities that won him success In this
city are doing the same thing for him
there and making him one of the best
known rallioad association workeis In
the country.
E. W. Softly, of this c!ty,who now
resides at Des Moines, Iowa, where
he Is employed as w lndow dresser by
the big dry goods firm of Harris &
Emery, has been receiving high praise
In the papers of that city for some
recent decorations he did there. The
Register of that city says:
"Theie aie no less than twenty dis
tinct stocks displayed In the windows,
and all the work and designing, elec
trical and otherwise, Is the handiwork
of Mr. E. W. Softly, who has been
with the firm as decorator for the past
two jeais. No moie beautiful show
windows hae ever been seen In this
city, and the firm Is to be conciatu
lated upon their securing the services
of so artistic und capable a gentle
man." The Times, of the same city, had the
following: "The decorations were tho
work of Mr. E. W. Softly, than whom
no window decorator In the countiy
has a higher reputation ft.r artistic
abilities. He Is the holder of two gold
medals won In contests In the national
association of his ciaft The windows
which were displayed yesterday when
the curtains were drawn at the open
ing houi, were certainly inanels of
their ait In the west window the
striking feature Is the figure of a gi
gantic peacock, standing in a perfect
sea of the finest goods, nnd with a
gorgeous tall built up entltely fiom
eoloted electilc lights The window

the "King of the Third Ward," and one
who does hint ciedlt. For seveinl yeais
Mr. Lynett hns had the ambition
strong within hlni to be cleik of tho
common council, but It was not until
this )car that things s,o shnped them
selves as to make his election possible
and Giler was astute enough to Im
mediately see the possibility and take
advantage of It. Mr. Lynett makes an
efficient clerk nnd Is uipldly winning
the regit id of tho members of council.
He Is painstaking, quick and courteous.
Tho new clerk Is a vocalist of some
local lenown, his tine olie having
been henid at nearly all of the public
entertainments for charitable objects
that have been given In this city dur
ing tho Inst five yeais. Ho also pos
sesses no little ability for the bisti ionic
nit and has won applause in soveial
of the amateur pi eductions that
have besn given hero dm lug tho last
few years. Mr. Lynett is pel haps tho
youngest man who has ever been elect
ed to the office of cieik of the common
council. He Is a resident of the Third
ward, which has been the scene, of
some of the most despeiate political
battles In the hlstoiy of the city
Reared In that ntmospheie and with
such a icsourceful coach as "King"
Oiler It Is only reasonable to suppose
that Mr. Lynott has n knowledge of
the game of politics that his youthful
appearance gives no hint of to tho
casual observer.
