ARE AFTER THE ALARMISTS. tFiro Department Is Weary of the Humorists' Pranks. The local fire department has bsen much annoyed of late by the turning in of false alarms. The latest one oc curred early Thursday night, when hox 22, at the corner of Spruce street nnd Wyoming avenue, sent in an alarm and several of the central city companies on responding diseovcied that some humorist was merely in dulging in a practical joke. During the past few weeks a large number of false alarms have been turned in nnd all of them at an exceedingly uncanny hour. It is a noticeable fact, however, that this particular specimen of the genus fnolus delights In playing his pranks always in the fall and winter. As. soon as Jack Frost begins, to put In .111 ap pearance and the night air becomes chill and biting Mr. Box Puller sees glorious opportunities. During the spring and summer time when it would not be so hard on the firemen, horses and apparatus, the joker leaves the boxes alone, hut in x inter he delights in causing the unfortunate lire horses, to slide along the sdlppery streets., drawing their engines, and endanger ing life and limb. Chief Zizelmann remarked savagely to a Tribune man Thursday night: "This pulling of tire boxes is becoming an awful nuisance. "We are stopping it in certain localities by putting up boxes without any glass fronts to them, but the alarms are coming In regular ly at that. The box puller only has to smash the glass front and then turn the key ut the majority of the boxes and he docs it with uu appalling regu larity. However the practice has to Jj stopped, nnd we are determined to put an end to it." THE TUG LACKAWANNA. It Is One of the Most Powerful in Service Around New York. Lackawanna, the most powerful tug In eastern waters, mudo her trial trip from Jolm H, Dialoguo & Son's shipyard at Camden, N. J one day last week, and fulfilled the require ments in every particular.

Dr. Pierce's Mem orial Day Sermon. The completion of the soldiers' monu ment on the court house square re calls the fervent appeal for such n monument made during the Memorial clay sermon delivered by Dr. Pierce in May of 1699. In part he said: To the men who survived the many ills of camp or prison pen, or weary march, or field of carnage, and live to tell us of Hull Run or Antlctnm, Fair Oaku or Fredericksburg, Chan ccltorsville or Chantllly, Lookout Mountain or Missionary nidge, Shlloh or the Wilderness, Get tysburg or Petersburg; who woic villi Sher man from "Atlanta to the Sea," with Sheridan In the Valley, or with the ironchd and Im mortal Grant at Apmmato; to these men we one our ovci -expanding, prosperous and united countiy. Wc will not wait until the little mound in the cemetery shall mark the place of a dream land sleeper, and flags and flowers on Memorhl Day shall tell us that a soldier sleeps beneath the sod, but this hour we will lsuiel our brow with the tiibute of a nation' gratitude. When I mr the hundreds of veterans marching our streets, nnd mw our beautiful lty bedecked with hunting and in holidiy attire, and the thousands of our patriotic citizen entering Into tli" gencious welemne homo to the new veterans of the gallant Thirteenth regiment, returning ftom the Spanl-.li campaign, I wept for Joy that we wire hunored with mull soldiers, 'oung and old. I recall the dijs when you returned as con quering herois from years of battle. Then we were leady to give jou anything you wanted. Hut time has dampened that ardor, and many now begrudge the little pittance dealt out a pensions ami withhold the substantial and en during monuments which should perpetuate jour memories, lkautifu! Scranton, with all its cttl tine and boasted wealth and pride, has been leereant to her trust. It seems ottin that lat-tci-day patrintl.-in is cither fickle or an empty l)OJf.f. Where is the maiblc t,ha(t wliiih toweling to wauls the skies shall tell to generations jet unburn of the noble men who gave their lives (hit America .should be free? If out of the night of indifference. I could call the citizens of this (oininonucaltli to n morning of renewed ac tivity in behalf of the Mildicr oi Lackawanna enmity, this gathering will not have been in vain. 1 plead for a monument on whiih shall be engraved the names of the -.oldicis from this city and county. Let it contain .1 meinoiial lull wheie fchull be kept the piieeless reliej of nur civil war. Let names and scenes and relies become immortal. All honor to Congressiniu Council, f'oloml Hoic--. Mr. Luther Keller, Colo nel Ripple, Colonel Waties, Captain May mil other pitriotio and philanthropic gentlemen, whom t learn were willing long ago to contribute generously that .1 lilting monument be rreclod in our city to commemorate the achievements of our gallant soldiers, living and dead. Shame upon my gie.it commonwealth, rich and prospeious like our own, with a history of which it may well be pioud, honored with some of the bravest and noblest men that ever faced a foe upon the bnltleneld, negleiling to honor its heroes. The city which honois its heroe?, honors itself. Only once in a lift time can our children behold the liii.plring sight of soldieis leluining fiom the battle fields. It is due to them that a perpetual object leon be given them in a monument erected to commemorate the valor, heiol-m and pjtilntlsm f their f.ulieis. thiough whose unselfish devotion to country ve joice in the triumph-, of llbeity.

Sidney Williams, of North Scranton. aged 17 years., has begun a suit for divorce from his girl-wife, Agnes, whom hu married a little over two months ago, on the ground of unfaith fulness. Ho contends that since they have been married his wife has been perslstetu In going to dances against his wishes and that lately she re turned home at an unseemly hour with a male companion with whom she spent the night. She raised such a rumpus in the house that the landlord put her out the next day. Ho had her arrested for disorderly conduct, whereupon she had him arrested for non-support. He then agreed to disagree and has com menced divorco proceedings. FUNERAL OF MRS, GALLAGHER, Held on Saturday Morning from St. Paul's Church.

So Said Mrs. Susan E. Eessenden Last Night in the Green Ridge Presbyterian Church Claims That tho "Liquor Trust" Dictates Muni cipal, State and National Legisla tion and Calls Upon the Christian People to Act Unitedly in Downing It High License Delusion. A nplendld temperance address was delivered last night In the Green Rldgo Presbyterian church by Mrs. Susan S. Fessenden, of Boston, for many years president of the Massa chusetts Women's Christian Temper ance union, and recognized as one of tho leading temperance workers In tho country. Mrs. Fosscndjsn is a singularly striking-looking woman. She Is straight as art arrqw and her strong determined face is crowned wltll .a mass of snowy white hair. She Is an excellent speaker, with a voice that without any effort on her part filled every corner of the big church. She began her address by eloquently de scribing a picture on exhibition In the National Museum at Berlin. It represents a female figure in a chariot drawn by dashing horses, pur suing a panther. Tho figure has eyes for nothing but the panther and heeds not a yawning chasm just in front, over which panther, chariot, female and all are Just about to plunge. She likened the figure to this country, the people of which she claimed are rush ing ever onward in their mad pur suit of wealth, little dreaming of 'the chasm ahead. THE LEADING NATION. "America," said she, "can now be called the leading nation In the world. Emerson called it 'the homo of op portunity,' and Matthew Arnold, who criticized everything American spoke of it as 'the land of the future.' When the Pilgrims landed on New England's shores they established schools and churches and the foundations of a moral and Intellectual strength wero thus created. "In time, we threw open our doora to the down-trodden and oppressed of other lands and for a time this immi gration did us good. Then there came the poverty-stricken, the vicious, the diseased in mind nnd body, who cared not for our schools and who scorned our churches. They thirsted after power and wealth nnd they gtew and multiplied until they dic tated our laws. "Our own people fell In with their ways and today we are a nation of wealth pursuers, oblivious of all else. This beautiful land of ours Is doomed, unless the Christian people hear the call of God and we become a Christian nation in deed as well as name. 'Jn God we trust' is inscribed on our ban ners, but it is 'in wealth we trust' that is written on our hearts. "No soul ever drifted to heaven. It takes a manly struggle against temp tation and a growing in grace day by day. No nation ever drifted into the right course. It takes an earnestness of purpose and a firm conviction on the part of the people that they ran attain to the mission for which God called them, as a nation, into exist ence. READ A CIRCULAR. At this point Mrs. Fessenden read from a circular distributed by what she termed the "whiskey trust" to liquor dealers. It said "the liquor business has lately enjoyed unexam pled prosperity, and If we act united ly we ran continue this prosperity." ".May we not take a lesson from that." said she. '"If we act unitedly as a Christian people wo will bo able to successfully combat tho whiskey trust and every other foe of right Whatever ought to be done can be done and when a Christian people tay it shall be done, it will be done. "Think as you please about gold or s Iyer; believe, if you will, that wo did right In gathering to our arms the Islands of the sea, because they were weak and we are strong: J care not for these issues, but let us act on this other paramount issue together. Re member that we protect everything but tho people. We protect the liquor oligarchy, which has grown so mighty that It telzes the government by the throat and dictates Its terms. Our homes need protection and our people need protection. "You have perhaps not forgotten tho vigorous effort made in many states a number of vears ago to upset this: liquor monopoly; this monopoly that may be said to hold the balance of power in this country; this monopoly that has its hand on our municipal councils, on our state legislatures and in our congress at Washington, say ing to our legislator, 'Thou shaltnot do this or that'; this monopoly that fattens on broken hearts, on broken homes, on debauched manhood and .!e based womanhood, and then asks for protection. THE HIGH LICENSE. "You remember that at that time tho monopoly realized that Us cause was lost If It didn't stem tho tide. And what did It do? Out of Its Inner con sciousness it evolved that beautiful de lusion known as high license. It dressed It out In celestial garb to Ue celvo the people, and It did deceive THE TRADERS OluW BANK, Have you determined on opening a Savings Account some time?

The law should be a little In advance, so that tho people would have to reach up to It Instead of stooping down to It, as at present, Ono of the great ques tions In this country today Is the labor question, "Do you tell me It Is right that nn old woman should die of starvation be cause her llttlo grandson couldn't earn enough to keep her alive by spiling papers, nnd that a millionaire, living only a block away, should pay JS.000 for a vnso twelve Inches high? That's a true case, nnd It shows the two ox tremes existing In this country today. "Would to God that tho 'American worklngman could sec that the saloon Is his worst enemy. It Is not over-production, but rather under-production, that accounts for the accumulation of merchandise In our factories. How I wish that the $1,000,000,000 which Is ex pended In this country every year for Intoxicants could be exponded in cover ing shoeless feet, covering shivering forms and warming cold and dreary hearths. "Oh, but you say all work In the temperance cause Is so discouraging. Wo must not yield to discouragement, and must remember that no work done In the name of tho Master goes for naught." RELIGIOUS NEWS NOTES. Rev. II. J. Whalen, D. .. of Carbondale, nil! read a paper this morning beforo the Baptist Pastors conference on "Tho Basis of Soulshlp." In the Vnlversnlitt church of Alt Soul's, the pastor. Rev. O. R. Beardsley, spoko last night on "Honesty of Professed Christians t. Chris tian Honesty." "Out and In, or Pasturage In All Fields" was the topic of an eloquent sermon preached lost night by Rev. Charles 11. Robinson, D. D,, pa tor of the Second Presbyterian church. "How to Mo Delivered fiom Sin" was the theme of a sermon last night by Rev. J. R. Austin, pastor of tho Ash Street Methodist Epis copal church, who gave 11 forceful Intcrplctatiou of tho doctrine of salvation. Rev. W. J. Ford, pxstor of the Cretn ltldge Baptist church, and who always presents Gospel truths in a singularly attractive way, gave some glimpses in his sermon Inst night of the 'charac tcr of the apostle, as revealed by their recorded conversation with Christ. -Six of the delegates from the Railroad Young Men's Christian association who attended the Philadelphia convention lecently gave their im pulsions of the great lailroad conference meet ings at the gospel meeting in the rooms yes tciday afternoon. All spoke of the features which impressed them most, and the talks were listened to by a laige assemblage. Miss Anna Salmon sang two solos in an effective manner and the delegates who spoke were-: ,T, V.. Mas ters, T. A. Ciamer, W. J. Long, F. P. Bryant, W. A. llurton and ft. W. Adair. One of the most interesting and inspiring fea tures of the State ClnNtlan Endeavor convention, to bo bold in Philadelphia, Nov. 20-2-j next, will undoubtedly be the Junior rally in th Second Regiment armory, Thursday afternoon, the 22d. If the weather is fine the Juniors will meet in the square ut Thirteenth and Stiles sheets, and march to the armory led by a biass band. At this somewhat caily date the Junior rally committee believes that when this aimy of little Endeavoreis march into the ar moiy it will be at least 2,500 it not 3,000 sttong. MR. CHITTENDEN DECLINES TO TALK Thinks the Statements Made by Con troller Howell Do Not War rant a Reply from Him. Select Councilman Charles K. Chit tenden, when seen yesterday' after noon by a Tribune man, would make no extended teply to Controller How ell's charge that malice prompted him to introduce the resolution In se lect council calling for an opinion as to whether tho controller could be im peached and removed from ofltco for certain alleged speciiied it regularities In the discharge of his duiles. Mr. Chittenden would only say that he didn't think such statements war i anted any reply from him and that he didn't deem it wise to specify just at this tima any of the particular Ir legularities hinted at in his resolu tion. 112 again asserted, however, that Mien Irregularities have been common during the last few months 'and intimated that the purpose oil his resolution is principally to pre vent any further recurrence of them. Mr. Chittenden will not say so in so many words, but It is generally un derstood that what caused him to in troduce the resolution was the fact that two pay rolls for street repairs in two separate wards were charged to tho judgments and Incidentals ap propriation by the controller because tho ward appropriations for these two wards wero exhausted. Tills is the rumor. Luther Keller charged the eonti oi ler on the floor of the common coun cil, not many weeks ago, with hav ing chopped In two an old bill of Piothonotary Copeland's for over SI ,000, which was to bo charged to tho Judgments and Incidentals appro priation, lie claimed that one-half was taken out of this fund and that the other half still remains unpaid, despite the fact that other and later claims wero charged up against tho appropriation by the controller, show ing that a balance still remained. Mr. Keller and Mr. Chittenden have repeatedly fought ordinances provid ing for tho trnnsfer of funds from the judgments und incidentals appro priation, contending that old claims nnd judgments charged against this account should bo paid by the con troller at tho very beginning of tho fiscal year, entirely exhausting tho account before tho councllmen get a hand at it. ALMOST A TRAGEDY. Shooting Scrap Was Averted in Oak ford Court, About 10.50 o'clock last night a wo man rushed Into tho Center street sta tion and told Sergeant Jones that a light .was In progress In Oakford court, at what Is known us "tho Arch," and that shooting was about to be done, Tho sergeant Immediately went to the scene of action and found a crowd of about two bundled persons blocking the narrow entrance. He theie heard a man loudly declaring to another fel low that "he would shoot him full of bullets, us he had live shots left," . Sergeant Jones took tho man In charge, meeting Wlht Jlttlo resistance, and escorted him to the station, On being searched, no weapon was discov ered on his person, Patrolman Dave Parry last night awoke a. tramp who was slumbering on Lackawanna avenue. The sleeper on being awakened was very disorderly and resisted so desperately that David was compelled to knock him down sev eral times before he would accompany him to tho station. A tx - 72x&. BISHOP H0BAN RETURNS HOME MADE A PILGRIMAGE TO ROME , AND TOURED EUROPE. With a Party of Ten Priests of His Diocese He Went tp the Eternal City to Avail Himself of the Spec ial Graces Attaching to a Visit During This, a Holy Year Entire Party Granted a Special Audience with the Pope Their Travels Abroad. lit. Rev. M. J. Hobnn, bishop of Scranton, Is home from his European tour, greatly refreshed by his two months' relaxation from the arduous duties of his episcopacy. He had a most enjoyable tour nnd a succession of pleasant experloneer, unmnrred by any mishap, save a rough homeward voyage on the Grosse Kutfurst, which was delayed over two days by con trary head winds nnd storms. At Now York he was met by Rev. J. A. O'llellly, rector of St. Peter's cathedral, and upon his arrival here at fi o'clock Saturday evening, was welcomed at the station by a large number of priests and a delegation of the Holy Name society of the Cathe dral parish. The bishop started on his tour Au gust 2, He was accompanied by ten priests of the diocese and while tho primal mission wus a holy year pil grimage to Rome, they took advant age of the companionship of such a well-posted European traveller as Bishop Hoban, to see us much of the continent ns their time would per mit, Bishop Hoban and Rev. Father O'Malley, of Kingston, made a stay at the Paris exposition, while the others proceeded through Germany, over a route mapped out by the bishop. At Pa ray le Morrlal, Bishop Hobnn nnd Father O'Malley met Father Brfhl, of Plttston, and the three traveled together to Lucerne, where the other party wos caught up with. After a short stay In Switzer land they crossed tho Alps, enjoyed a visit at the celebrated Lago Magglore, saw Milan, Venice, Bologna, and thence to Rome, the priests' party making a detour to take in some Ital ian points of interest suggested by the bishop. AUDIENCE WITH POPE. They saw tho pope a number of times', as ho was borne in his chair through St. Peter's to greet the thous ands of holy year pilgrims who crowd the Eternal City, und in addition to this Bishop Hoban, who, by reason of his ofllce, Is entitled to a piivate audience, succeeded in securing a pri vate audience also for his traveling companions. This is a privilege sel dom accorded now, on account of the pope's infirmity, and the necessity of his saving himself as much as possi ble from extra exertion that he may be able to continue his public au diences during the holy year. When his holiness was told that the party was made up entirely of priests who had traveled all the way from Ameri ca, he readily granted Bishop Ho ban's request and expressed gratifica tion at their coming. The audience took place in the throne room of tho Vatican. The pope appears no more Infirm, Bishop Hoban says, than when he last saw him three years ago. His close ap proach to the century mark, the bishop savs, seems not to have dimmed the remarkable brightness of his eyes or in any way impaired his mental activ ity. The bishop's party made the pilgrim age In a body, visiting the basilicas to gether and recitina: the nrescrlbcd prayers in common. All went to Naples for a four davs' stay. From there the priests continued their tour northward, while the bishop, unaccompanied, sailed to Glbralter and after doing Tangiers and Morroco, made a two weeks' trio through Spain. If there is any lurklngyanlmoslty there against Americans the bishop failed to notice It, he says. Other Americans whom he encountered there reported tho same thing. He sailed from Glbral ter October 7 and landed in New York Saturday morning. The others of tho party will leave Queenstown on the Lu canla November 3, though some of them may stay over till November 20. SAD NEWS IN ROME. News of the death of Rev. D. J. Mac Goldrlck reached them In Rome. "Wo were all much depressed by the news," said the bishop. "I was particularly ! mudo to feel that I had suffered a great loss. Father MacGoldrlck was an able, loyal man. I do not know how I can fill his place. To my mind, he was the ablest all-round scholar tho city had, and his capacity for work was marvelous." At two of tho masses at tho cathq dral, yesterday, the bishop preached, and on both occasions made feeling reference to tho loss of Father Mito Goldrlck. He also said J. caused him regret to find his diocese In a foment of labor troubles, and expressed tho hope that It would soon be .ended. He said he was not sufficiently acquainted with the merits of the case to warrant hint making any comments, but ho would permit himself to offer just one suggestion and that was that a settle ment on terms that aro unfair can not be a permanent one. Yesterday afternoon tho 1 'thop ad ministered tho sacrament of confirma tion to l!25 children at Plttston. Ho re turned for dinner and an uvonlng visit at tho home of his mother on North Washington avenue. RALLY DAY SERVICES. Interesting Sermons Given at Elm Park Church by Dr. Glffln, Very well attended were the Rally Duy exercises at tho Elm Park Metho dist Episcopal churoh yesterday nnd very Interesting and Impressive did the congregation find them. During the morning Rev. Dr. C, M, Glltln spoke on tho subject of "Love for the Church," and delivered a thoughtful and eloquent discourse on this fruitful subject. In the evening his theme was "How to Have un Attractive Church," Ho Indulged in gentle satire ut the ex penso of those who clamor for a more congenial church atmosphere and stoutly affirmed that tho present ser vices conducted In the majority of churches should prove amply satisfy ing to those in attendance, "What more can bo offered?" he said. "Do the people want finer churches? What can be more luxuriant than the places of worship In this country? The cathedrals and churches of Europe, grand and imposing in appearance as they are, nevertheless aro devoid of comfort with their cold stone floors J di2fifts AsMfM','JiSamtiiP-'i It Would Be an Act Of inexcusable indifference for a prudent woman in search of a wedding gift, or goods for her own use, to overlook such values as wc offer in really choice wares.

But in our churches no accessory of this sort is omitted, and in addition the interiors of the churches are beautifully ornate and pleasing to the eye. Do they want more gratifying ser vices? Every minister strives his best to make the services interesting. In a way ministers are like anglers, try ing to land the fish. Ministers angle for congregations and they try their utmost to draw men to the church in order that they can commune with God. "Things, however, are now coming to such a pass that it seems almost nec essary when appointing other church committees to appoint one of church entertainment, whose duty It will be to make church attractive." STILL REACHING OUT. Ontario and Western Is After the Mt. Pleasant Colliery. Negotiations are under way for the transfer of the Fuller Coal company's Mt. rieasant colliery to the New York and Scranton Coal company, a branch of the mining department of the On tario and Western. The sale will likely be consummated soon. E. L. .-""uller. head of the Fuller Coal company, says the disposal of the Ml. Pleasant will not affect his al legiance to the new road. The Mt Pleasant, on account of Its location, was not counted upon as a feeder for the new' road. A contract was made to ship its product over the Ontario and Western after the new road was projected, and was only prevented ftom being put Into operation by an injunction from the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western, preventing the construction of a set of conveyers across the Lackawanna's right of way, to carry the coal from the breaker to loading chutes, designed to be con structed at the end of a spur reaching up from the Ontario and Western line. An appeal from the Injunction Is now pending in the Supreme court. Should the sale be consummated, the Injunction would bo defeated, because the Mt. Pleasant coal could bo taken out through the Capouse or the Pine Brook, whose workings lap it on either side. ELM PARK CHAUTAUQUA. Meeting Tonight in the Reading Room of the Church.

ELECTRIC COOKING, How It Has Been Solved at the Paris Exposition, From the Scientific American. Ono of the most extensive applica tions of electric cooking Is that which has been made at tho testaurant In Iho basement of tho Spanish pavilion. As tho pavilion contains a number of collections of great value, the gov ernment authorized the establishment of a restaurant In the basement, only on condition1 that no coal, gas or petroleum should be used, on account of danger from tiro. The electric sn tem was thus almost compulsory; It was, however. Quite an undertaking1 to establish a plant of this kind, as over four hundred meals per day weie served, with tho complicated menu necessary for a high-class restaurant. The outfit consists of a largo tange, two largo broilers, two ovens, a hot water reservoir, a vegetable boiler and a small heater.

The heat not utilized by direct radiation is used to heat a series of interme mediate plates by which the cooking is finished. The temperature is adjust ed to any desited degree by means of a regulator. The two broilers 'jfcive high temperature, and heat from above, avoiding the falling of fat and the consequent odor; these take a cur rent of 25 to 35 amperes. Of the two ovens, one Is arranged to be heated by the lower part and consumes '') amperes; the second has several heat ers placed in the upper part and con nected to dlffeient circuits, so as to be used independently or together. It roasts every day at least 75 nounds of meat at one operation, taking about 30 amperes. The vegetable boiler and hot water reservoir have each a capac ity of about 60 gallons. For the coffee, tea, etc., a small heater of two fire places is used, besides a water bath. The different heaters are constructed of sheet iron, with solid iron corners and braces; they aro made with double partition, the interior space being filled with asbestos. This installation has worked very regularly since the first of May, and demonstrates the practicability of electric cooking when applied on a large scale. GEYSER IN MID OCEAN. It Is One of Many Queer Freaks Xnown to Sailors. IV. K. (,'urlis, in the Chicago Record. Not long ago the Record published an Interesting story told by Captain Llddle, of the good ship King Bleddyn concerning a geyser he discovered two miles north of Cape Totoche, at th entrance of the Gulf of Mexico, while on a voyage to New York. He said that the surface of the sea was dis turbed for an area about sixty feet in diameter, bubbling up to tho height of several feet, like an enormous rprlng. The water was covered with a white froth, and a dense vapor rose to the height of 75 or 100 feet, like steam from the escape pipe of a boiler. Captain Liddlo believes that he dis covered a submarine volcano or a hot spring of great force. Naval officers who have cruised about tho gulf accept the story ns true, and say that there are other phenomena In the Gulf of Mexico quite as strange and Interesting. Several fresh-wnter fountains are known to exist, where vessels have frequently filled their, casks with ice-cold sweet water that comes up like a geyser hi the midst of the salt water. These fresh-water springs, as tho sailors call tnem, have been known In the gulf for j'00 or 300 years. They were discovered by early voyugeurs, and were the sal vation of many a mariner whose sup ply of fresh water ran short while h was becalmed in the doldroms. Som of tho fresh-water springs are marked upon the charts, but thero Is ho little need of them nowadays by the steam cis on the gulf and the sailing fleet Is so small that no attention is paid to them and they have passed out of the knowledge of tho younger skipper.

When, at 3 o'clock one niotnlnr, Mrs. Newman was convinced that she heard a burglar In the parlor, she cautiously awakened her husband, "Very well," said Mr, Newman, with a drowsy patience born of fre quent similar alarms, "I'll gat my revolver from the drawer and go down and Investigate," "But, William," said his wife, with a sudden gasping remembrance, "your pUtol Isn't there, dear, I I tied It up with ribbons for nn ornament un der your father's sword today!"
