Cross Church Twentieth Century
Movement Goneral News Notes.
Many life-long friends of Hew B. Tl.
I,owls assembled In the Tabernacle
Congregational church liiHt evening to
bid him farewell on his departure for
AVales. The gathering was an Infor
jnal nlTnlr, but iiroved to be Interest
ing and enjoyable. All of the ad
drosses wore of a nature calculated
to Insure How Lewis a safe journey
and l-oturn.
William J. Morris, of the First Welsh
linptlat church, was chairman of the
meeting; and made a few remarks.
Letters of regret were read from Col
onel 13. II. Ripple, who wan unable to
Toe present, and Rev. T. t. Ij. Kvnns,
of Gomer, Ohio. An original poem,
dedicated to Rev. Lewis, was read by
Rev. D. C. Phillips. Others who spoke
were David Vaughn, Richard 15.
Thomas, William 13. Reese, Rev. D. P.
'Jones. Mayor Motr, John R. .Tones,
Rev. E. A. Roy, John J. Howell and
Rev. Lewis.
Rev. Lewis ban been a resident of
Kcrantan for over forty years and Is
one of the best-known Welsh preach
ers In America. He will sail at noon
tomorrow afternoon from New York
on the Majestic, und will spend sev
eral months In Wales.
Another Narrow Escape.
Shortly after Mayor Moir signed the
viaduct ordinance on Saturday, a start
ling Illustration of the necessity for
' this publlc.lmprovement was furnished
nt the West Lackawanna avenue cross
ing of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western railroad, when a street car
became stalled on the north-bound
track.
The conductor had suae on ahead of
the car to see if the crossing was clear,
rtnd bad signalled the motorman to go
ahead. Just as the car struck the
north-bound track the trolley slipped
from the overhead wire and left the
oar powerless In the middle of the
crossing.

Dress Goods
At the
The
Buck
Glob
Has often formed the topic of conversation among Dress
Goods experts miles aud miles away from Scrautou,
because of the completeness, variety aud extent of the
stock carried within its limits. Outsiders cauuot un
derstand why a stock of such magnitude should be car
ried in a city like Scranton, when stores with much
greater pretensions than ours in New York, Philadel
phia, Pittsburg, Chicago, etc., get along with half the
assortment Ave offer our patrons.
The "Whys" Regarding This Fact
Are not worth discussing, however, for while we are
proud of the distinction of having one of the most com
plete Black Dress Goods Departments in the country,
we have no thought of becoming vaiu-gloriously boast
ful about it. Indeed, all we care for is to impress this
one fact upon the people from whom we look for pat
ronage, viz,:
If Black Dress Goods Are Wauted
And the Weave or Design Sought for
Is Wot Antiquated, We Have It at Its Best
And at a lower figure than it can probably be bought
for elsewhere. It will be found in our Black Dress
Goods Department as soon as it makes its appearauce
on the market. We do not wait to see whether the
new style will take or not. Experience has taught us
to solve that problem at a glance, consequently we
never hesitate,
These facts are uot easily grasped and taken at
their true value by the mere reading of au advertise,
ment, but if it should happen that you are not familiar
with our Black Dress Goods Department, favor us with
a call at an early date, if for no other purpose than to
look it over. After that you'll be as firmly convinced
as we are of the truth of our statements,
Globe Warehouse
o'clock, going north, was heard coming
up tho track. Mevoral Iluginou rushed
down towards tho bridge and succeed
ed In having the train stopped before
It reached Hie crossing, thus averting
a serious accident. The trolley was re
adjusted and the train went on,
Five passengers were on the oar at
the time, and as soon as they realized
their danger, mudo their escape In
safety, liut for the timely action of
tho men who (lagged the train, tlrro Is
no telling what the result would have
boon.
A Novel Proposition.
A well-known young man has re
ceived n. liberal offer from an enterpris
ing real estate agent, which, If accept
ed, will prove an Interesting public
event. The proposition Is to the effect
that the young man assents to a pub
lic marriage ceremony on the land
company's tract.
The company In return offers to build
the couple a new house and fuinlsh It
throughout, and when the minister for
mally pronounces them husband ami
wife, a deed for the entire oriullMioiit
will bo turned over to them. The only
stipulation outside of the above, Is that
a brass band shall play the wedding
march. Tho young man Is now en
gaged In looking for the girl of his
choice.

DUNMORE DOflNGS.
Theodore L. Purcell Dies as the Re
sult of a Blow Received from an
Unknown Man.
Theodore Ij, Purcell, the nineteen-year-old
son of W. J. Purcell, of
Drinker street, died at Ills home at 4
o'clock yesterday morning. Ills death
is tho direct result of Injuries received
by him while pursuing his duties as a
driver for the Sunny Side Dairy com
pany. On the morning of November 5,
while delivering milk to his customers
on Marlon street, above Adams avenue,
at abcait 3 o'clock In tlio morning, ho
noticed a man standing near his horse's
head.
As he stepped upon tho step of his
wagon tblH man hurled either a sand
bag or a heavy stone at him, which
struck him squarely in the stomach,
partially dlsablng him. He managed,
in his weakened condition, to lire three
shots at bis assailant from a revolver
he carried, evidently without effect.
Hemorrhages began almost immediate
ly and continued since, with the excep
tion of a few days previous to last
Thursday, when they began again and
continued until dentil relieved him from
his suffering.
A post-mortem examination was
made yesterday morning by Drs. Bern
stein, Garvey, Gunster and Thompson,
who found that death was tbe result
of tho rupture of a. largo Wood vessel
in the stomach.
lie was a young man much thought
of by his employers and those who
knew him best. To these his death in
such a sad manner comes as a great
shock ab this time, as the fact of bis
serious illness was not generally
known.
Ho was an only son, which fact
makes tho grief of his parents much
harder to bear. He was a member of
the Epworth league of tho Methodist
Episcopal church. The funeral will bu
held in the Methodist Episcopal church
on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Interment will be made in the Duu
niore cemetery.
The attention of Coroner Roberts
should be called to this case, in order
that an Investigation may be started
and stops taken tu capture the guilty
parties.
Revivnl Services.
The first services of tho union revival
meetings were held in the Dudley
Street Baptist church last night. The
house was crowded and everybody
came, it seemed, with the Intention of
having ti spiritual feast. The ltev. W.
F. Gibbons, of the Dunniore .Presby
terian church, preached an excellent
sermon on "What He Says Unto You,
That Do."
Mr. Gibbous spoke very effectively,
and the audience appreciated what ho
said. He Insisted that we must obey
what Christ commanded us, tilled with
faith aud hope and love, No hiilf
hearted service would be satisfactory
to our God or His Sun. There was a
most excellent spirit manifested in tho
meeting. The Hov. Mr. Kramer sang
a very lovely solo at the close, and
many arose, asking prayers for their
friends.
The services this evening will be held
in tho Trltm Avenue Christian church.
' und the Kev. Mr. K reamer, of tlio Bap
tist church, will preach. His topic will
bo "A A'lslt from Jesus." All Christian
people are Invited to come and bring
their unconverted friends. Let every
body work for the upbuilding of the
cause of Christianity In Dunmore.
There will be good music, and every
one Is welcome.

i Candor in Business Is Commendable
We do not believe that the Intelligent piano buying public wants to
be humbugged, nor that It can be for any length of time. Facts, un
questionable facts, are good enough for us. We lost the sale of a piano
tho other day because wot could not allow w'lthln seventy-five dollars
as much for an old stpiare piano as our competitor did. AVe subsequent
ly learned that the parties paid $450.00 for a piano tho duplicate of one
sold a few weeks previously to a party, who had no square piano to
trade, for $27n.00
AVe allow casli value for old instruments nnd no more: but the
prices of our pianos do not expand the moment you mention organ or
square piano. Every Instrument in our ware-rooms bears a tajc with
the price marked on in plain figures, and THIS IS OUR SELLING
PHICE. Does this idea meet with your approval? If so, wo can inter
est you.

OUTWARD BEAUTY AND INNER GOODNESS
