The patrolman had just come cm

the electric light nnd discovered
young Kppstelti behind the show cas-.
At police headquarters the prisoner
was hcarched and a dollar and lorty

he claimed the money was his, but
later win forced to admit that ho had
extracted It from the till. i:ppstcln
had a new&paper bag thrown over hli
shoulder. In which he undoubtedly In
tended to conceal pipes, cigars, etc.,
but was surprised before completing

After the business of the meeting
was completed, iv splendid address was
delivered on the work being done by
tho American Hlblo society, of which
the county society is a part, by tho
national -eeretary, Hcv, Dr. -lohn
Fox, of New York city.
nr. Fox briefly traced tho history of
tho society lrom Us organization In
ISlf! to the present time nnd cited tho
Interesting nnd generally unknown
fact that the first Illble moiety In
this country was the first Continental
congrcsu, which appropriated J2rt,000
for the Importation ot lllblcs during
the Revolutionary war, when there
was a scarcity of them In Mil coun
try. Ho said that tlieie wan a time In
tho first halt of the Nineteenth cen
tury when a membership In the Amer
ican Hlblo society wr.i conslderel u
patent of nobility. This feeling had
died out, he said, to a very gteat ox
tent, but he expressed a hope that It
would soon levive. The American so
ciety, he said, furnished the key to
the foreign missionary situation and
without Its nld nnd assistance In the
furnishing of translations of the
Seiiptures in nearly every known ton
gue, tho foreign missionary move
ment would be practically dead.
STRIKERS ORGANIZING.
MEETINGS HELD Iff DUNMORE
AND MINOOKA.
Girlo from Bliss' Dunmore Mill and
Petersburg nnd Simpson Plants
Met Yesterday Afternoon.
Thcie have been no new develop
ments In the silk mill strike during
the lust few days, and mutter have
now settled down Into what looks like
a long-drawn-out deadlock. The own
ers nil resolutely refuse to raise their
original wage offers by a single penny.
Wednesday will bo pay-day nt Val
entine Hllss' Dickson mill, but Mr.
Hliss states that no ntlempt will be
made to prevail upon the gltls to re-sunn-
work. He said yesterday: "Wo
will have no balloting as to their will
IngncHj to come back, nor will any in
ducements be offered. For my part, I
w 111 let the matter rest, and shut down
the mills for u period of what ut pres
ent looks like u few months, at least."
All of the big mills will be closed
down today, and no efforts will be
made lo operate them In any Instance.
Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the
sti Iking girls from Hllss' Dunmore
mill nnd the Petersburg plant of Ilell

IT WAS A BIG SUCCESS.
Closing Presentation of the Mario
Antoinette Fete.
The benefit entertainments for the
Home for Mio Friendless ended .Satur
day nlulit with the most successful
one of the series. General regret was
felt that the performance could not bo
repeated another night, ns the demand
for tickets was great enough to have
filled the house again. The patronage
of both afternoon and evening enter
tainments was very large.
Ft lends of the Home weie generous
In cveiy possible way which could add
to the fund. The flower booth realized
a hantNoine sum, the candy and art
booths were vety successful, and the
programmes sold for a creditable total,
while consld. table was realized from
the balloting for the favorite dnnce.
The Uus.slau Flag Dance was success
ful In th evening contest, which was
very livr-lv. The prize was a mtln

The lieriett- and Pienot dance

the enormous amount of woik under

due. The returns of tho entertain

mornliifr ho found his text in John.
ISM: "Abide In me and 1 In you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of Itself,
except It abide In the vine; no more
enn ye. except you libido In me."
In the afternoon ho based his te
rnaries on the second chapter of tho
second epistle of Paul to Timothy,
which he sulci was the greatest chap
ter In the Hlble on "Service." Tho
doctor took six words from this chap
ter and dwelt upon them briefly as In
dividual subjects. He said, In part:
The first word which strikes us most forcibly In
Mils chapter Is "witness," Whit is n w lines.). A
wltncM is .1 person who known sutncthliig and
tells what he knot-.-. This Is the tlrst condition of
Christian irnler. Any one who has found m
Christ a Sailor should be a witness foi Jems
Christ.
The second wool we will note a "soldier."
The apostle epiuhs of "i gi,d vihller of .lesui
Christ." s. soldier in the limnin empire was a
man separated tompletelt and cntlnlj lrom the
cbil life. You cannot fant.t how complete this
siparatlen was. lie gtte his wife, his cliildrcn.

tl is the same with us. It w would be true
soltliof of Christ we niu-t sep irate ourscltcs
floin the entanglements of sin and worhllinesj.
We must ilop n riling to l- approted of men
ami must sch to b- appinri-d of Ood. We
must p!oJe,o fiii.-thci. ( vt would gii real
sertlee to Cod. to follow- the blood-staliud ban
ner of tho croii wherurr it may lead.
The third word I will speak on Is "athlete"
mils word Is not found in the cpMle. but it is
implied when nuiitlmi is tntde of the mm striv
ing for masteries that he might be crowned. If
we would be erowh.d in tills life we must piae
tlce self-subugalioii. Don't be so anxious to
sue other soult that .ton might negktt jour
own. Holiness is the basis of (rue sirtne.
Wheneter jou put setticc before holiness jou
ore imertlng the dltine order. Od cares more
for what .ton are than for what you do. If jou
put the doing Iwforc the being jou are tetrrslng
(iod'it law. Vu mint know whit It is lo con
quer j'our tempos, tour Iniu und .tour appe
tites. There is fat too little teaching of the
iicoestity of hillniMt. Manj lhln(.s aic spoken of
as infirmities which art In reality crimes. To
apologlro lu our deallnirs with unholy liilnc is
to otfer an egregious lnult to Ood.
IjCt in look foi a moment at the word "hus
bandly." Ihe husband nun sows the seed and
walls fur the harttsl. When jou tow the seed
or the word of Cod jou must sow jourself with
it. Vmr llle must be n witness for Jesus. You
needn't worrj" if jou can't see any irault. Stat
tee the seed cteij where and leatc the results to
Cod.
'flic phrase, "a workman that necdttli not to

The chili and the gieatot word of all in the
chapter Is "tes-el." It is used nut in the sense
of a ship, but In tint sense of a receptacle or
something to contain something It Is ihe mot
