RAISING MONEY FOR THE HOME
Plea for It Made in Central City
Churches.
Tho nttempt to save the money
pledged conditionally on securing $10,
000 for the Home for the Friendless
debt was continued yesterday, when
many of the churches took up a special
collection for this worthy object. Rev.
Dr. Israel, Rev. Dr. Robinson, Rev. Dr.
Pierce and Rev. Dr. Gltlln, ofithe cen
tral churches, made pleas for aid in
lifting the debt. St. Luke's church
made a great lecord In collection of
$22.".. At the Second Presbyterian
church $70 was reported. Returns from
the other churches have not yet been
made. The amount necessary has not
thus far been secured.
The receipts of donation day were
larger than usual. The entertainment
given there under the direction of Mrs.
E. F. Chainberlln nnd her committee
was a new feature, which was certain
ly a great success. Not only were the
inmates given nn unusual treat, which
was really a great event In their mon
oonous lives, but the affair took on a
social aspect which was delightful to
all concerned.
The annual dinner was, ns usual, a
feature of the day, when twenty-four
of tho thirty members of the board
were present. The following is the

UNITED AFTER
MANY YEARS
BROTHERS WHO KNEW NOT OP

Scranton nnd Philadelphia Join in
Furnishing a Reunion Story That
for Affecting Interest Is Seldom,
if Ever, Surpassed in Real Life.
The Elder Brother Thought the
Younger Brother Dead, and the
Younger Never Knew Positively
He Had a Brother Persistency

Seldom docs real life develop a story
more beautifully pathetic than that
which Is entwined about tho reuniting
of John and William Coylc, brothers,
now grown to middle uge, who up till
last Tuesday were Ignorant ench of the
other's existence.
They were orphaned and separated
In childhood; the elder thought the
younger dead, and tho younger did
not know he ever lutcl a brother; they
both became railroaders and at one
time their trains were frequently at
the same junction; tho younger by
some Intuition, or possibly nn Impres
sion lingering from his cradle days,
was convinced that he had a brother
and impelled by this conviction to
mnke almost conslnnt Inquiries, he
finally proved his conviction correct
and brought about one of the most
affecting scenes that It is given thlh
work-a-day nge to witness.
With a commendable regard for the
appropriateness of things, Fato de

WHY HE FAVORS HIM.
John M. Kemmerer, nn ex-president of the board of trade and one
of the leading business men of the city, in telling why he favors
the re-election of President McKinley, said last night:
"I favor the re-election of Mr. McKinley because I believe that
his re-election means a continuance for four years more of the won-
derful industrial activity which has characterized his admlnistra- .
4. tion. Never before in the history of tnls country have its Indus- 4
f tries been in such a flourishine condition as during McKlnley's ad-
ministration.
"I believe that tf Mr. Bryan's election were within the realms of
4 possibility that there would be even now a tremendous industrial
set back. I believe that his election would mean a serious blow to -
the industrial growth of this country; a blow that It would take
years to recover from.
" "We need President McKinley for four years more to carry out .
tho policies which he has already shaped for our new possessions in
-f the Pacific Ocean and in the Carribean Sea. We need him because he -f
f has proved himself a wise statesman and a patriotic American."
f-f-f-f-f---f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-t-i-0-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-f-t--f-f'f-f-f-f-f-f--f
drama should be laid In the City of
Brotherly Love. There, thirty-five
years ago, when the principals of this
story were aged respectively 9 and 2
years, their father died. Within a year
their mother re-manied and shortly af
terwards she passed away. The older
brother In the Interim was sent to an
Industrial school some distance out
side of Philadelphia by the step-father
and kept from communicating In any
way with his home. His childish
yearnings, however, prompted him to
run away from the school and return
to see his father, but his long trudge
and the many hardships he endured
were Ill-rewarded. The house was va
cant and locked and all he could learn
from the neighbors or rather from
those who lived In the vicinity was
that his mother had been burled three.
days before and that his infant broth
er was dying of smallpox In the house
of a woman nearby.
LOST ALL TRACES.
He was too young to think ot mak
ing any detailed Inquiries and wont
back to the Industrial school, where he
remained until he was sixteen. When
he c.ne to an age when his neglect
of childhood's yeai.s was appreciable
tho neighborhood of his former home
had lost all trace of those who could
tell him aught of his relatives more
than he had gleaned seven years pre
viously. He was firmly convinced that
his brother had died and scarcely In
dulged In even a passing hope that
such was not the case and that long
years afterward they would meet
again. He continued to live in Phila
delphia, entered tho employment of
tho Pennsylvania Railroad company
and is now the engineer on one of the
Atlantic City flyers.
The younger brother, after a long
Illness, recovered from the smallpox,
and, as the good woman who had
taken hhn In and nursed him was a
wlflow with three children of her own
to support, shu felt she hud done her
share, and sent the friendless, penni
less babe to an orphan asylum. She
knew very little, or nothing, of tho
boy or his family and about all she
could furnish for the records of tho In
stitution was his name, She only
knew- that imperfectly, us the sequel
illustrates, for ho was entered as "Wil
liam Guile" and by that name he has
ever since bttn known,
William was kept tit the orphanagft
until he was about 6 years of age,
when he was indentured to a farmer
living near Manunka Chunk, The far
mer treated him badly and finally
turned him adrift without a cent. He
sought work with other farmers and
managed to cko out a miserable exist
ence working for his board and clothes
until lie was .sixteen, when ho quit
farming and secured a Job as brake
man on thu Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western road,
LIVES ON ADAMS AVHNUK.
When he was leaving tho last far
mer he worked for hu was rewarded
for Ills year's labor with n present ot
U cents, 5 cents from the furnipr. 5
cents from the farmer's wife and a
penny from their daughter. He canto
to llvo In Scranton and now .resides on
Adams avenue. Ho Is married to a
daughter of Professor dross, formerly
organist at St. Pelor'8 cathedral, and
Is the fnthar of tinea children.
Ever slnco arriving at tho aEe of
reason the Impression that Jio had a
in other living tool; firm hold of him,
and as years'rolled by this became a
conviction with him, an.l his constant
thought was tho solution of the mys
tery of hla birth und the discovery of
his brother, It was almost a mania
with him. Hundreds who will read
this will tell of "Guile" having talkud
to them about It and of his having
made inquiries of them us to whether
or not they over heard of a man of ills
name.
"Something tells nie I have a
brother living and sometimes I have
a fancy that l also had a sIsUt," he
would say. Almost every one he talk- I
Ihu myrlery of his life nnd was nskod
to let him know If ho or sho should
ever hear anything that might glvo
him a cltto to tho solution of tho mys
tery. One day ubotit three weeks nco hu
was talking with the hrakcmnn of :t
Uelvlduri' nnd Philadelphia train on
thu platform at Mnnunka Chunk June
Hon, and repealed to hhn tho oft told
story of his life, when nnnthiir ihu
of the nnndr on tlu Dclvldcio a'Hi
Phllitdelphlt train hnppoiud ulont! nnd
Joined In listening to the latter pAtt
of the story.
FOUND A CLUR
"1 don't know nny man named
Guile," said the new comer, "but
there's tin engineer in Philadelphia
named Coylo that 1 kntnvi slightly.
Don't suppose he could he tho same
onr- though."
"No tolling," remarked Guile, "tf t
ever tlnd my brother I'll bet he'll be
n railroader, T don't know Just why
1 think so, but that's what sometnlnu
or other tells me."
The Phlladelphlnn offered to get En
gineer Coylc's nddress nnd when he
next found time ta hunt him up told
him of the man up. In Scranton that
wns looking for a supposed brother,
and how ho thought possibly he might
he the man sought.
The Philadelphia, hi other lot no
tlmo In sending his uddrcss and a
long letter explaining all he knew f
his early history and Inviting the
Scranton man to come and see him.
Letters wore exchanged and ns a re
sult, on Mondny hist, Mr. and Mrs.
Guile left for Philadelphia.
The husband could not wait for his
possible hi other at tho Litter's home,
but must needs go to the Tiraad street
station and meet his train whin it
came In Tuesday morning. Ho wtis
out on the platform when tho train
came in and rllmbol up In the cab
before the engine came to a htnr-.dstlll.
"You're my liro'tlvr," declared Wil
liam as sooti as he lat I eyjs on the
4 - - - 4 - - 'f'f - f - f'f4 - - f - f - f - f - f - t - - - - f
engineer. The latter look';! at the
man searchlngly for .1 moment, and
the next Instnnt they wbm in each
other's embrace. There was no mis
taking. The resemhlaiicp, while not
what would be callol strong, ii suf
ficiently marked to leave no doubt of
their kinship, and If tli"ro wns any
lingering doubt the natural attivctlon,
each confesses h felt for the other
the very moment they met, removed
It as far as their minds arc concernad.
The next two dnvs were spent by the
hi others and their wives at John's
home and to say they wpi-c two happy
days for there reunited brothers Is
unnecessary.
AT LAST-RE-UN1TED.
The meeting of the brothers was wit
nessed by several thousand persons,
who of tho vast throng that constantly
passes to and fro in the Immense
P.road street station, had their atten
tion attracted to tho two men in an
engine cab wrapped In each other's
embrace, and totally oblivious of all
their surroundings by reason of their
almost supernal happlnosr.
It was learned during their conver
sations at John's home that the hit
ter, off and on for year.", had run an
engine on tho Pelvldeiv and Philadel
phia division and that his and Wll
llam's train must hnva often been at
the junction at tho samo tlmo.
Before sepatatlng the brothers ar
ranged that they should live together,
nnd ns soon as William can arrange
his affairs hero ho will leave for Phila
delphia. Another singular coincidence
aside from that tho brothers both be
came ralhoadcrs Is that each married
a wife who Is a gifted musician. Wil
liam's wlfi'. who was Miss Gross, is
one of Soranton's leading pianists,
John's wife plays twelve different In
struments and plays them well.

OBSERVANCE OF
THE SABBATH
QUESTION DISCUSSED BY REV.
W. J. FORD AND OTHERS.
Speclnl Service Held Yesterday Af
ternoon in the First Presbyterian
Church and Presided Over by A. W.
DlckBon Rev. Mr. Ford Said That
the Observance of the Sabbath Was
Necessary to a Man's Moral, Men
tal and Spiritual Welfare Re
marks of W. W. Lnthorpe.
The congregations of tho First and
Second Presbyterian churches assem
bled yesterday afternoon In d,hc former
temple of worship, the occasion being
a union meeting to promote tho cause
ofSnbbath observance.
On the platform, when the services
were opened by the chairman, A. W.
Dickson, were seated the following
clergymen: Rev. Dr. S. C. Logan, pas
tor emeritus of the First church; Rev.
Dr. James McLeod, pastor of the First
church; Rev. Dr. Charles E. Robinson,
pastor of the Second church; Rev. Dr.
R. F. Y. Plerce, pastor of the Ponn
Avenue Baptist church, and Rev. W. J.
Ford, pastor of the Green Ridge Bap
tist church.
In Introducing Row Mr.Ford, who
made the principal address, Chairman
Dickson remarked thnt the city of
Scranton has always had the reputa
tion of being a Sabbath-keeping city.
"I remember," said ho, "that when I
first came to Scranton I was surprised
at thr great quietness on Sunday, and
I said nt that time, and I say vet,
happy is the city founded n Ute tradi
tion of Sabbath keeping."
SABBATH FOR lALL MEN.
Rev. Mr. Ford, In beginning his re
ntal kn, said that Christ said that tho
Sabbath was made for all men, whether
Jew, Gentile or unbeliever. "So long,"
said he, "as man has a body tn enre
for, a mind to develop and a soul to
save, so long Is the Sabbath binding
on him. No nation can long exist that
does nqt maintain the Sabbath day.
This can be proven by history." Taking
up the question of laws compelling
Sabbath obseivanco, hu said:
"The state does not concern Itself
with the Sabbath as a religious con
sideration, but solely because man
needs the Sabbath. The laws passed
for the observance of tho Sabbath duy
ore not religious precepts but laws
passed for the mental, moral and spir
itual uplift of the people."
He then dwelt upon the necessity of
the Sabbath as a day of rest for r.H
men and especially for the people of
this country, who are, he said, "living
at a tremendous rate." He said that
a hopeful sign was to be found In tho
fact that the tradps unions nre begin
ning to take up the question and de
manding that labor be allowed a day
of lest once a week.
SOME LABOR NECESSARY.
"As society Is now organized," said
he, "It is necessary that some men
should work on Sunday, but it Is not
necessary that the large number woli
now do. so should. Back of all this
Sunday labor may be found the greed
of gain. There would be no railroads
or trolley lines 1 mining on Sunday, no
concerts or no places, of amusement
open on the Lord's day unless some one
were making money."
In the course of his remarks, Rev.
Mr. Ford referred to the Sunday news
papers, and when he had finished Mr.
Dickson took occasion to-remark with
his characteristic earnestness: "My
quarrel Is not with the men who own
or who work on the Sunday papers, but
with tho quasl-rellglous people who
advertise in them. If there were no
advertisements in the? Sunday papers
they couldn't live two weeks."
The only other speaker as W. W.
Lnthrope, representing the Philadel
phia Sabbath association. He explained
that It was an Incorporated organ Issa-.
tion, formed for the purpose of pro
moting the observance ofithe Sabbath
by distributing literature and holding
Sunday meetings. "Our national ex
istence," said he, "Is dependent upon
a proper observance of the Sabbath. If
wc have a continental Sabbath, we
can expect to have continental skep
