BACK PRmThFlIPPINES.
Thomas Stanton, a West Scranton
Youth, Has Some Exciting Ad
venture in Pacific Islands.
Thomas Stanton, of fill North Hydo
Park avenue, who recently returned
from the Philippines, where ho was a
member of Company A, Twenty-eighth
Volunteer infantry, hnd some exciting
experiences In the East. Stanton en
listed In the service on July 26, 1899, at
Camp Meade, and wns Immediately
sent to San Francisco, from which port
he embarked for the Philippines In
August of tho same year.
Nearly 1,300 soldiers were on tho
transport, which stopped for two days
at Honolulu, where coal was taken.
The regiment arrived In Manila bay oii
November 26, and shortly after their
arrival- the Twenty-eighth was called
out to reinforce the Fourteenth. From
that time young Stanton had a varied
experience, but it was in common with
many of the others, who were doing
garrison duty most of their time.
Their battalion engaged the insur
gents for the first time on January 7,
1000. The fight was at Putol. It was
a brief but bloody engagement. Col
onel Blrkhimer, with Companies A, B,
C and D, of the Twenty-eighth In
fantry, nnd a section of Battery F, of
the Fifth artillery, were sent out to
wartl Novalota on a reconnaissance,
with instructions, to got In contact with
the enemy at long range, and to de
ceive the insurrectos into thinking that
the main attack was to come from that
direction.
Having made this feint, Colonel Birk
himer's orders were to return to his
former encampment at Bynacyan. But
subseeiucnt events made it necessary
that a different course of action should
bo pursued. The march commenced at
an early hour in tho morning. The
column passed through Cnvlto Vlojo
without meeting any opposition, and
not until Barrio de Batamitnn was
reached was the presence of the en
emy discovered.
On the road from Batamitnn to
Putol, across the sluggish Mindlat
river, there is an old stone bridge that
was built by the Spaniards. At this
crossing of the Mindlot river the in
sjirrectos were prepared to offer a des
perate resistance. Stanton's company
was one of the first to enter the on
emy's trenches. This engagement lasted
two hours and seventeen minutes, in
which one sergeant and three privates
were wounded. The enemy's loss was
104 killed and eighty wounded.
On February 23, 1900. the regiment
again engaged the enemy near Calacca.
This was followed by a succession of
engagements which were extremely
thrilling. On March 16, 1901, the regi
ment left Manila bay, stopping a few
days at Japan. They reached San
Francisco on April 14, whore they were
mustered out.
Stanton is probably one of the young
est soldiers wlio served in the Philip
pines, and says he has hnd enough of
it. Ho likes army life, but would not
care to go through his experiences
ngain on foreign shores.
What he says would not afford much
encouragement to those who are anx
ious for tho service, and while he was
fortunate, both in health nnd escaping
injury during his service, there are
many, he says, that enlisted that will
never come back to the states as well
as they went away.
TEARING DOWN THE PLATFORM
Lake Ariel May Be Cut Off from Ex
cursionists. The Krie company has begun tear
ing down the covered platform at its
Lake Ariel station. This tends to cor
roborate tho story that the running
of excursions to this most popular re
sort is to be discontinued.
Cottagers nt tho lake will be Just
as well pleased to have the excursions
cut off, but It is far from pleasing to
the Lake Ariel Improvement company,
which has Invested thousands of elol
lars in making It an attractive excur
sion report.
Tho company has not declared offi
cially that excursions would not bo run
to Lnko Ariel hereafter, but rumor to
this effect has been afloat for some
time,

Mrs. Campbell on Saturday filed an

a trial by Jury.
The Ubeiiant charges cniel and bar
barous treatment against his wife. It
Is her Intention, it is claimed, to show
that this charge is unfounded and that
she was sinned against, rather than

WORSE THAN
MONTE CARLO
DR. M'LEOD'S OPINION OP STOCK
SPECULATION,
It Is Perfectly Legitimate, He Says,
to Buy and Sell Stocks if you
Really Do That, but to Meroly
Nominally Buy Them for Specula
tion Purposes Is Gambling of the
Most Vicious Kind The Stock Ex
change Is a Commercial Necessity
Nowadays.
"It Is a perfectly legitimate transac
tion to buy or sell stock, but to merely
nominally buy It, in hope that It will
rise, Is gambling, an act In which tho
loser gives and the wlnnner wins
something for nothing, nnd I think
that tho play nt Monto Carlo Is re
spectable compared to that which oc
curred last week In New York."
Thus spoko Rev. Dr. James MeLood
at tho First Presbyterian church last
night, where ho delivered a powerful
sermon on ."Some Bible Truths Touch
ing the Power nnd Importance of
Money as illustrated by the Stock
Gamblers' Recent Frenzy In the Race
for Riches."
" 'Love of money Is the root of evil.'
So writes the Apostle Paul," declared
tho speaker. "It Is not money, but the
love of money which is condemned,
the absorbing passion which Induces
men to give It chief place in their
minds and affections nnd even risk
their lives for It. Money is God's ser
vant nnd too often man's master. It
controls the actions of millions In this
country and other countries, and the
love of it Is the chief root of the liquor
tinflic, the opium traffic and tho gamb
ling traffic.
IT STIRRED MILLIONS.
It is this power of money which
stirred up millions to fever heat last
week In New York and other cities.
Gamblers gamble for money, nnd to
quote Herbert Spencer, In their case
the 'happiness of the winner in every
case implies the misery of tho loser.'
The transactions of the New York
stock exchange attracted the attention
of the world. If the gains were mil
lions, so, too, were the losses. No one
has any good reason to condemn stock
exchanges. It is an honorable busi
ness and a commercial necessity those
days."
Here followed the remarks quoted at
the beginning of this article and Dr.
McLcod then resumed:
"The teachings of the Bible arc of
ten misunderstood in regard to money.
It is not wrong to seek and have
riches in a righteous wny and right
eous uses. Jesus Christ only warns us
against the abuse of wealth. It is our
duty to provide for the poor, the
widows, the friendless nnd tills can
not be done without money. Money
has done much good in this world, but
not nearly as much as will be dons
when all wealth will bo consecrated
wealth and every rich Christian will
regard himself as a steward of tho
Lord.
"One may quote scriptures and tell
of Dives, or Judas, who sold bis mas
ter for thirty pieces of silver as ex
amples of men and money, and Abra
ham was rich and yet a goodly man.
Isaac was rich, Jacob was rich, David
was rich, and Job wns very very rich,
all great and good men."
"Money could not buy Henry IV. a
good night's sleep; riches cannot keep
away sickness or death, avert tooth
ache or any ill, and yet If you had
asked the men on tho stock exchange
last week what was the chief end of
man they would have answered that It
was to glorify gold and glorify it for
ever. I have no doubt that some men
would have made that answer."
MENDICANTS AND BEGGARS.
Dr. McLend here digressed from his
original trend and turned to the men
dicants nnd street beggars, another
class of people who want something for
nothing, and then referred to local
strikers and their efforts to attain the
ends they have set before them. "I
have no objection," he sturdily ex
claimed, "to strikers striking for bet
ter wages or for tho nine-hour el ay,
but If a man wants to work ton hours
a day and a striker seizes him by the
throat and says, 'No, you shall not,'
that Is not the action of an American
citizen.
"Tho man who wants something for
nothing Is a despicable creature,
whether ho Is on the New York stock
exciinnge or the strectB of Scranton,
Anyone willing to obtain wealth by de
spicable means is not worthy our re
spect. And yet, who is this person who
regards lire a laiiure unless he can bo
rich? He is an Immortal creature with
a soul akin to the nngels. And what
Is tho consuming desire of tho man
who mndo two or three millions last
week? To secure a seat nt tho right
hand of God in Glory? No, to securo
a handful of dust, ho keeps his im
mortal soul grinding at the wheel of
Mammon.
"Though Mammon worship is popu
lar In America, if you will live and
labor as heroes labored, though you
ello a poor man and ho burled In a
pauper's grave, even if those who pass
your grave say, 'Poor follow, his life
has been a failure,' If you but live ns
thoso have lived of whom tho world
wns not worthy, you will have tho tes
timony of a good conscience to sootho
your dying hours,"

hibition of the kind that over left win

THE D., L. & W. STRIKES.
Men at Kingston Are Out Council
of Affiliated Employes Issue Let
ter to Their Employers.
The one hundred men employed by
the Deluvyuro, Lackawanna and West
ern Ttallroad company at tho Kings
ton yards went out on strike Saturday
noon, as a result of tho absence of an
answer from Master Car Builder L. T.
Canliold to the nine-hour day petition
presented to him. This leaves work
completely tied up nt Scranton, Dover,
Buffalo and Kingston, with Hoboken
the only place ut which the men aro
still working.
Delegates from the local lodge are
now In Hoboken and it Is expected
that they will return today. A meet
ing wns held yesterday of tho strikers'
executive board, but nothing wns given
out concerning its deliberations. To
day a mooting will be held at which
the matter will bo discussed of calling
out the men at Hoboken.
In the meanwhile everything goes
along tuiotly. The strikers have men
posted at the stations to watcli the
Incoming trains, but as yet have? seen
nothing of any men Imported to take
their places. There will bo a meeting
of tho car builders Wednesday night
at Economy hall. Master Car Builder
Canfield spent yesterday at Lake
Henry.
At tho Lackawanna mnchino shops
everything is also quiet. Superintend
ent of Motive Power and Machinery
T. S. Lloyd Is known to have held
n conference during the latter part of
tho week at Buffalo with men from
the shops ut that point and here, but
nothing is yet known of the result of
this conference.
Yesterday afternoon the committee of
Affiliated Employes met In Hulbert's
hall and decided on a uniform com
munication to bo sent to all the local
superintendents presented with the
nine-hour day petition, except tho Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western au
thorities and the Dunmore Iron nnd
Steel company. In both those instances
tho concerns' own employes have as
sumed control of the situation. Tho
nature of tho communication -was not
stated and will not bo until after this
morning, when they will be mailed,
Tho non-compliance of the various com
panies In answering tho nine-hour day
petition occasioned this letter. The
Dickson company Is included among
those who will receive today's epistle.
At yesterday's meeting of the coun
cils ten out of twelve delegates were
present, every union being represent
ed. At tho Dunmoro shops tho men
havo been nsked.to wait until Wed
nesday by General Manager Slado for

ADDRESS BY
TH0S. H.DALE
SPOKE AT ELM PARK CHURCH
LAST NIGHT.
The Occasion Was the Celebration of
tho Twelfth Anniversary of tht
Organization of the Epworth
Lcaguo and Mr. Date Choso for His
Subject tho Llfo of Paul tho
Apostle, Which Ho Handled Most
Eloquently Brief Remarks Mado
by James G. Shepherd,
Tho twelfth anniversary ot tho or
ganization ot the Kpworth lcaguo wns
observed Inst night In tho Elm Park
Methodist Episcopal church with a spe
cial service, tho principal feature of
which was a splendid address by
Thomas H. Dalo on the lesson to bo
learned nnd the Inspiration to bedrawii
from tho llfo of St. Paul.
There was on especially large con
gregation present and after several se
lections by the quartette tho pastor,
Rev. Dr. C. M. Gltlln, Introduced as
the first speaker James G. Shepherd,
the president of tho Kim Park Ep
worth lcaguo,
Mr. Shepherd spoke but n very few
minutes nnd his address was princi
pally devoted to a brief summary of
tho work accomplished by the Elm
Park league. He told of the weekly
devotional meetings conducted with an
average attendance of between 200 and
r.OO, and of the work of tho Mercy nnd
Help band, the members of which visit
the hospitals nnd tho homes of the af
flicted, bringing good cheer and sun
shine. Ho spoko of tho wonderful growth
of tho organization, with Its twenty
seven members In 1SS9 and Its 2,000,000
members today. "The Epworth league
Is no fad," said he," It Is not experi
ment. It hns been for ten years and
is today concreting Christian doctrine
into right conduct and real service."
A SPLENDID ADDRESS.
Mr. Dale spoke for nearly three
quarters of an hour upon tho life of
Pan! eif Tarsus, and hold the atten
tion of his auditors until tho last syl
lable of the last word. It was a revela
tion to many In the congregation to
hear this man of business and of af
fairs talk so ably, so earnestly nnd
so sincerely upon a religious topic and
talk as he did with an eloquence that
wns powerful because It was simple.
Paul, ho said, was the one Christian
whoso theology Is today the dominant
theology of all Christendom. Ho traced
the story of his early years, dwelling
especially upon the religious environ
ments with which he was surrounded
from tho very dawn of Ills reason, his
latlior Doing a Pharisee or tho Phari
sees. Ho referred In brief to tho young
men's training In the great Jewish
university at Jerusalem and to the
wonderful story of his conversion while
on tho road to Damascus. Ho satd
that of the twenty-seven books in the
New Tostnmont, fourteen, or a majori
ty, were written by Paul and so deep
an impression has the apostle mado
upon the mind of some of the German
rationalists that several havo not hesi
tated to express their belief that he
and not Christ wns the real founder
of Christianity. This Mr. Dale took
occasion to refute.
THINKER AND ORATOR.
"Unexcelled as a writer and thinker,"
said Mr. Dale, "St. Paul was no less
noted as an orator." He spoko briefly
of his two most celebrated orations,
his address to King Agrippa and his
speech to the philosophers and scholars
of Athens and analyzed them carefully
and interestingly. "These orations,"
said he, "are unsurpassed and unsur
passable. They are models which are
worthy of the closest study and the
most studious insight."
"How few really classical figures
there are in profane history," said he.
"How few there aro who have stamped
the age or epoch in which they lived
with the imprint of their own person
ality. Tiiey can, when sifted down, bo
counted upon the lingers of one hand.
Alexander, Julius Caesar, Charle
magne, Napoleon and Washington.
"Our own hero, Paul, however, Is
greater than any of these. They
sought empire nnd aggrandisement.
Paul sought only righteousness nnd
tho conversion of tho world. His
glowing words havo brought hope,
cheer nnd consolation to thousands
who havo scarcely over heard of tho
others T havo mentioned. Paul
stormed tho very oltldel of wrong and
planted tho banner of truth upon tho
topmost wall."
lie pictured most graphically tho
scone as Paul was led a captive along
tho Applnn wny and Into tho Eternal
City and told of tho final conquest of
Christianity over the standards of tho
Roman empire.
MEN LIKE PAUL NEEDED.
"In these later days," said he, we
demand men like Paul, nbounding in
lovo nnd mighty In Intellect and out
of such organizations as this Epworth
league will they come to inspire a
deeper piety und equipped to wago a
successful light ngnlnst the powers of
evil."
In conclusion Mr. Dalo showed that
lie is a cheery optimist of a most pro
nounced typo. In fnncy ho gavo his
auditors a glance down the vista of
tho coming years and pictured tho
vice, intemperance and wickedness
which will then exist ns they exist
now. To combat these forces, ho ."aid,
he could ?eo a vision of Chrlstlon
churches dotting tho land and srrend
Ing tho Influence of tho gospel over all
lands,
"Seeing no fear for tho future," said
ho, "I coino down from my vision
most (satisfied and confident,"
