MACHINISTS FORM AN ORGANIZATION Two Hundred of the Employes of the Dickson Works Meet at Economy Hull. About 00 of the employes uf the Dickson Locomotive -works, the IMok .ou I'enn avenue shops, the Delawnre, Luckuu unna und AVestern rntlroiul whops, and other mnuhlne whops in the ottj' met In Kuonomy hall yesterday ufternoon for the purpoje of funnlnsr an organization. The movement Is the outcome of the efforts of the Intel na tional Association of Machinists to secure :t nine-hour day throughout the country next Hprlnp. The discussion of the mutter by thu machinists in the I various whops In the city h.is occa- tinned much iiifiulry fmm u large pro- liortlon of men employed In all the machine shops, holler shop, foundries. etc., as assistants or on a class of woik not requltlnsr a suillclent amount of skill to entitle such n woikman to members-hip In any existing: order of Journeyman mechanics. Tho machinists' association, lielns: nilHlated with the American Federa tion or Labor, Is In touch with tho organized blacksmiths, bollerniakeis, moulders and patternmake-is, but the considerable proportion of other em-ploj-cs were not In a position to co oiserate. These men bcins: anxious to laiow what effect a nine-hour day would have on them anil to prepare themselves for It, desired to organize and co-operate with tho organizations already existing which would be -n-KUFreil In the movement. It is the purpose of all to woik In entlro harmony with their companies autt at a later time to in some way come In touch with the ofllcers of their companies and secuio from them full information as to the tllfllcultles. If any, In tho way of a nine-hour dav and ir possible remove those dlflioul 'tlcs. It Is the desire of all that noth ing bo overlooked which may later cause dissatisfaction, but that the en tire matter of the reduction In hours and readjustment of wanes be consid ered from the standpoint of both tho companies and the men that there may o no strike while the movement Is pending, nor any grievance committees fiom any one class who have been overlooked. ine meeting decided to oraunlz.- what the Ametlc.in Federation of Labor designates as a Federal Labor union, the charter for which Is ar ransed to include those who art- not eligible to an association of Journey men mechanics. For the puipot-c of securing a charter and dlspoMn? of tho details of organizing, a teinpoi-aiy organization was etfected, consisting of Humphrey It. Campbell, who s president of the Scranton lodge of the International Association of Machin ists, as president: John Williams, from the Dk-ksou Locomotive shops, record ing secretary; James Q. Martin, of the Dickson locomotlvo holler shops, finan cial seeietary. and Harry Adams, of tho Dickson company's 1'onn avenue shops, Inside sentinel. It was decided to endeavor to form a national organization of the samo class of men now militated with the American Federation of Labor and a commltteo was appointed for tho pur pose. Over eighty men Joined as char ter memheis, nnd it was decided to hold the next two meetings open for the admission of charter members. The balance of those present being' af llllated with tho machinists and other associations were not eligible to mem bership, but were piepent to lend their aid and support, and vveie In hearty sympathy with tho movement. Uefore adjourning tho president spoke a few wouls to the members, telling them they weie not organized for a stilko but to avoid one, and In order to have oveiy thing so well con sidered and arranged bofoio a move Is mado that neither tho companies nor the men would bo wronged In any par ticular, and w here there was no wrong there would bo no trouble. h0 also cautioned them against taking their company's time for ngltutlng tho union or discussing It, their noon hour being suillclent, and asked every man to so conduct himself that his company would want more union men. The meeting adjourned, subject to the call of tho olllccrs when they shall iiavo received thu charter from tho American Federation ot Labor. T REFUSE NOT THEMVIOR LEARNED DISCOURSE BY REV. JAMES M'LEOD, D. D. "Seo That Yc Refuse Not Him That Speaketh" Is Mado the Text of nn Interesting and Scholarly Sermon by tho Pastor of the Elrst Presby terian Church When. Jesus Speaks His Words Seem Irresistible To Refuse Him Is a Deadly Sin. In tho First Presbyterian church yesterday morning Rev. James Mc Lcod, D. rX, the pastor, preached a sermon on "Itefuse Not Him." Ho took his text from Hob., xll:23, "See that yo refuse not Htm that speaketh." Ho said: Who I3 this "that i.pcaketh"? Wheio does He speak? What docs lie aj? Why does Ilo speak? And why thU solemn caution; "sec that o refuse not Him"? The. questions open up a wide field for enie. ful observation and for serious rcllcctlon. The Held Is so broad that the longert life Is not long enough to traverse it, and tho nubJecU It pre. stilts for our devout contemplation, are so tniti-, and so Important, and so profound, that the keenest and most capacious mind Is Incap able of grasping their full slgnltlcai.ee. One might as will expect a up to hold all the waters of the boundless sea, a.s evpect a gospel prearhe? to coiupnss all the Infinite truths of (!od, within the narrow- circle of our finite un derstanding. But aa a cup may hold enough ot thu cre.it ocean tu fuinlsh a sample f'ir examination, or to give one nn Idea ot Its quillty and of its taste, so a brief gopel act 11.011 may contain cmugh of divine truth to arrest attention, uid to nwaken inquiry, and to incliuc one to examine It, and taste it, and thus prove Iti quality and Its wvlng power. May It please Cod the Holy Splilt bo to use this discourse. "O taste and see that tho Lord Is good: bleated Is the man that trustcth In lllm." Cod forbid that any of us hould be guilty ot the deadly lolly and of the deadlier Jii ot refusing "Him tint speaketli." For rounder: 1. "lllm that rpeakelh 'I Who Is He? Your tnsvvcr U uady. Ilo Is Ji"-u, the Son ol CoJ, our Divine ltedi-inier, 'Ihiiefue, 111 view ot Ills c).altcd inrxii and of III endurable work; be cause He "Is over all, !od Morcil foievei"; becau-e of Ills inllnlle- lmi f-.r 11 guilty world; because of the unspeakable and cmla-llng woes that arc lmolic-d In His rejection, mid because of the ineffable ar.d tvrilastlng jojs that an Involved In Ills acceptance "See that ye iefuc not lllm that speakith." Tho rontcxt make the admonition of the text more emphatic. Note the rontraot be tween Mount Smal and Mount Zlon. The voire that fpol.e from Sinai was so awful, nnd the sight of that binning mountain was o tenlhtc, that even Mo'es, the man ef jiod, slid: "I exccedinglj- tear and quahe." Hut why this dn-adfiil tenor? It was lieimi-e that thundeiing voice fiom Sinai was the vuke of btun Jiiithe. While tlut voice i.f Cod pioililmtd tint Mho law is liolv, ami jn-t, and good, ii uUo pic elalnuil another gnat tiuili, namely, "that no 11 an is Justlilcd by the law, in the idght of Hod." Th- voice Item sinai lsvies this tearful prorki millon: "Currtd Is every one that lonlltiuctli ii'it in all things that mo written in the book of tho law- to do them." 'I hat piorUmatioii leaves nc, way 01 escape tor llif.'e who ait undci the law. 0!i i: 1'ltOM MOF.Si' ZKiV. Hut the voiie from Mount .Ion peaks In no ueh hsrsli and thieateiiing loin.

ITS SIM AND SUIlSTANCi:. (j llul the nlaio where Jesus speaks mvt i Iratl-, and most lovingly, is the Itlblr, Of this Hock It may be kald that Jems t inltt Is llf sum and Mibstance.

Iliry testify ol lllm, and through tliem, lie tpe-akJ to us. "5ee," there foie, "that je refuse not lllm that speaketh" In this holy Hook. Ida lllhlo l-t preeminently the Saviour's book, for Ills Holy Spirit Is Its author, but it is also rte-emtncntlj' tha tinner's book, for it was "written for our learning, that wn through patience and lomfort of tha Scriptures might li.iv "hope." Had tt not been for Him who speaks to us In the Hlhle, our knowledge of Cod would be limited to what we might Icatn of lllm fiom the l-xik ef niturc. Hut while th Hook of Nature was tho first book that Cod gave to man, It hat pleased lllm to nupplcment that good old book with this reiver, and clearer, and .fuller, and more satisfactory revelation of Himself. "Cod, who at sundry times and in divers manners rpoko in time pist unto the fathers of tho prophets, hath In these last dajs spoken unto us by Ills son." ThU makes the lllble a very serious and a scry solemn book, as well as a very Instructive and blessul book; and when we read the words of Jesus, we ought t.i see to It tint wo "refuse not lllm that srtaketh." .'!. Hut what docs Jesus say? He makes known unto us the mind, the will, the purpose, the truth, the love, and the very heart of Cod. Jesus Christ is the ltevralcr ol God, the Father. "No man know-cth the Son, but the Father; tieltlur knovveth any man the Father, save the Son, and ha to whomsoever the Eon wilt reveal lllm." If, In the revelation that Jesus has made ot Himself and of Cod the Father, and of the Holy Ghost, we cannot find the path to hnpplnces hem and to a blessed Immortality hereafter, then our cause Is hopeliss. For there Is 110 other person or revelation In tho universe that can help us, In tho least degree, II wo refuse lllm that speaks to us from Cethsemane, and fiom Calvary, and from Ills open lomli. and fiom Ills throne in liravrti. "Neither Is there salt alien in any other; for there is none oilier name under heaven given among nun, whereby vie must be saved." In his anxiety to save sinners note: (a) How He wains and thteitcm them. "See that jc re-fu-c not Him that speaketh." Why? Rcratiso "if tiny i-scined rot who refused Him that spoke on eaith, n.uih mote shall not we escape, If we turn away from Him that speaketh from hraven." llusc aic very solemn words, and so too are the words tint lmmcdtatelj- follow- them, When the Son of Cod spoke from Slnal, His "voice then shoik the earth, but now He hath promlsi-l, saving. 'Yet once more I shake not the caitlt onlj', but al-,0 heaven.' Wherefore we nceivlng .1 kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, vvluieby we may sirve Cod acceptably, with reverence and godly fear, for our Cod is 1 consuming fire." It Is a blessed truth that "Cod Is low." Your attention was called to It last Sabluth, and I trust It made a holy and lasting lmprrsion upon u. Hut it is ci-milly true that Cod will punish those who reject the Cospcl of His blessed son: "For our God is a eonsumlng Are." The thought that salvation was offered and tint tt was rejected, and that the pleidlngs of Divine love wen- resisted must constitute A part and, perhips, a chief part ot the woes of perdition. A guilty conscience U a pnpetual toimtnt, and that 1 01 mini mu-.t be intensified nio-,t acutely, bj- the memorj of sllahted opportunities arid of ahu ed privlliges vvhlih All thu soul with end less renior-e. May not this be the wouii that dieth not, and Ihc (in- tint U never quenched? Let u-i be will aiiud tint It Is Divine love that Induces Je-ns to warn and to threaten sin nets. "Sec thai jr uIiim? not , lllm that speik ct li tlirr.o warning und threatening wouls.

He Is a Typo of the Aggressive Young Business Men Upon Whom tho Puturo of tho City Largely De pendsAttorney Charles P. O'Mal ley aa a Raconteur and Wit Great Work on the Gridiron of Dr. Okas. ' Gelbert Fred Phillips as a, Min-strelman. If John II. Utooks, tho secretary nnd chief actlvo representative of tho now street car company carries Into his newly assumed duties tho dash and energy which hns characterized Nhls activities In other directions, the new company will have no cause to re gret his selection for this all-Important ofltce. Mr. 11 rooks litis the happy faculty of doing well everything he undertaken to do. In his school days ho Interest id himself In baso ball and became the recognized leading Inflclder of the col lege world, and because of his excel lence as a player and popularity with the team was made Its captain. Ho took to golf when the game began to be played hero nnd today he Is not only the undisputed local champion, but It Is claimed fop him that ho has no superior among tho amateurs of tho country at large. A few yeats ago, upon arriving nt the ago xvhen he was cnlled upon to cast about for a life occupation, ho choso n business career, and interested himself In the firm of Floroy ."i lirooks, dealers In sporting goods nnd cameras. It Is now one of the leading and best pay ing business concerns In the city, nnd most of Its success hns been achieved since .Mr. litooks Identified himself with the firm. It is understood that the Idea of the new railway originated with Mr. Hrooks nnd that It was through his efforts tho company xvas capitalized. Tho matter of securing the franchise and attending to tho hundred nnd one other Important details preliminary to the construction of the road have been left to the direction of Mr. Hrooks. Ho is n striking example of tho kind of young men who go to make Scran ton the llvelj", hustling city that it Is, and upon whom the future of the city depends. There are manj ver" clever lacon teuts in this city and 'many1 men ipos sessed or the tare gift of repartee In a highly cultivated degree, but nearly everyone who has heard him Is willing to accede thu palm In this particular lino to Attorney Charles P. O'Mal le.v, or "Chai ley," as excrj'one calls him. "Charley" Is usually tho to:t3t master at the delightful social ses sions given cx'orj- now nnd then by th" local lodge of Elks. He has the happy faculty of mak ing witty Failles on lhe spur of the moment. His humor Is spontaneous and that's wheieln Its merit lies, it Is not thought out befoi ehund nnd he needs but the slightest suggestion to ttttn a happj" rematk upon. He has a fund of good stoilcs that, like Mope, "springs etetnnl." Tharo Is a story going th.' rounds about a certain lawyer, whom sonio ate mean enough to i-ay Is "Ohnilay." but he disavows "all connection with It. This ceilain lawyer, whoever he was, was defending a certain person charged with selling liquor without 1 llcpits-e. The prosecution bad a pro.ty good case and even hnd a big photo graph of the outside of the alleged speakensx-. showing a. nice pyramid1 of whiskey bottles In one ot the win dows. The nlmve-montloned ret tain law--cr for ll;- defense, of court. had to examine this picture nnd Willi? so do ing, by Iho HTMost accident, of course, he ' -uoned to have an Inky pen In his hand. Also, bv the mernst acci dent, of couii-e. 11 dab of the ink from the pen ha opened to fall upon tho pyramid of bottles, completely obscur ing them from the public gaze. Th'' picture wai duly piesented to the Jury for examination and they finally agred upon a verdict of not guilty. Tho uncontrovertible fact that the bottles could not b" seen Is said to havo had a little effect In assisting them to arrive at this eon.-Iuslon. The magnificent work upon th grid Iron this year of Dr. Charles t'ielbert, of this cltj. has again made liltu one ot tho foot ball heroes of the country. Thoie are lew men who, after retir ing fiom the collegiate uic-na witn well-enrned laurels, continue remain ing In a state of physical perfection, nnd at tho end of five or six years can play practically ns strong a game as when In the prime of their careers. With Dr. (ielbert, however. It Is dif ferent. Ho played at the University of Pennsylvania back In the early 'On?, ar.d his work" ut half-b'aek and end hns gone down In foot ball an nals ns 11 standard for aspiring young giants. In '01, 'W and '96 ho wat chosen for one of tho end positions on the All-American team, and thera xvor candidates In the field for the places In those days who wete far front what mlgnt be toimed slow. Last yeur and this. Dr. Oelbert has played end for the Duiiuesno Country and Athletic club, of Pittsburg, which annually puts on tho gridiron a con stellation of dazzling foot ball stars. Kx-ery account of the team's matches contained glowing tributes to his proxvess. Besides being a foot ball player of renown, ho Is also nn all around athlete, and played on lhe Pennsylvania base ball, -s well as foot ball team. He Is of splendid build, and for a heavy man Is exceedingly swift ot fool. o Common Councilman Fred Phillips, of tho Eleventh ward, Is going to bo one of the star features of the Jungsr Mnennorchor mlnsttel show at Muslo Hall tomorrow night. Ho'h Rolns to deliver himself of a monologue, and thnt he's going to make a lilt goes without saying, because Fitd Is 11 "natural born funny man." 'Tho man with tho expansive smile" for that's what he's generally known ns, is about tho only man in councils who doesn't get mad If things aro go ing against him. He Just leans back In his chair, If one of his pot sclu-mni falls or If the chairman calls him off, and smiles and such a smile. It's se-nrth seelncr. and If he tries It on with fhls faco blackened, ho can have his audience with him without saying a word.

How to escape tin- payment of the $1,100 license fee this year Is now the all-engrossing pioblem among the city liquor dealers. Scranton, thy contend, will not be come a second class city In the matter of government until the first Monday In April and as the licenses are Issued to go Into effect, they should not be tequlred to pay more than Is teriulred for 11 license In 11 third class city. The distinction they would make Is that while Scranton Is now. nnd has been since last Thursday a city of tho second class, Its second class form ot government docs not obtain till Mon-daj-, April 1. and until the second class charter goes Into actlvo operation, tho city Is not subject to any teeoud class city laws, and In consequence the II enso feo exacted In a second class city can not be exacted before the second class city ehifYter Is In operation. As iiirainst this argument the conten tion is made that the license laws for various cities are not n pail ol tne charters of the city, but wholly Inde pendent of It, and that as soon as this city was proclaimed by the governor to be a second class city, the license laws for second class cities went Into effect here. Tho question xvill be tested In tho courts. The Itetall Liquor ueuieis Protective association bus already taken steps to this end and a vigorous light against tho payment of the high er license will bo mntle. Tho liquor men believe that if they etcapo tho $1,100 Heme this year they will ercapo It for all time, as they are expecting that .1 bill revising the li cense laws In second eluss cities to be udmlnstered bj uu excise commission acting Independent of tho Judges will be paii'iod bv the lues-nt legislature. Such a bill Is being drafted by the Qttoyltes, It Is said, as one of the means of destioylng the Fllnu-Mugeo eouttol of Pltt-jburg. BEV. DR. OIFPIN ON POLITICS.
