RECEIVED STOLEN BRASS
Charles Wartoskl and His Son Ar
rested on Saturday Jas. Flynn
Accused of Stealing1 It.
Charles Wartoskl and his son, Simon,
junk dealers whose place of business Is
located on Hickory street near the
Lackawanna river, were arrested and
held under bail Saturday on the charge
of receiving stolen brass. James Flynn,
one of the alleged brass thieves, was
also arrested and hold under bail.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Hallroad company has had
largo quantities of brass stolen within
the past few weeks despite the fact
that many arrests have been made for
this offense and that special officers
are continually at work trying to run
down the guilty persons.
Special Officers Spellman and Peel
traced some of the brass to Wartoskl's
shop and called one day last week In
the course of their investigation. While
they were in the junk shop Flynn
sauntered in with a dinner pall full of
brass which he offered for sale. It
was found to be brass from Lacka
wanna locomotives and a little further
investigation led to the discovery that
Flynn is employed by Contractor
O'NIel, who breaks up old engines for
the company. This led to Flynn's ar
rest. It was ascertained that Wartoskl had
sold a large quantity of brass to the
Kverhart Brass Works. A search war
rant was secured from Alderman
Ituddy and nearly a wagon load of the
stolen metal was discovered on the
scrap heap. The officials of the com
pany operating the works admitted
having purchased the brass from War
toskl but said they were suspicious of
the metal and gave him a thirty day
note in payment instead of cash to give
thorn time to investigate.
Wartoskl and his son were arrested
on warrants issued by Alderman
Buddy and both waived a hearing anil
entered bail In the sum of $300. Flynn
entered ball in the sum of $300. It Is
understood that a number of other
brass thieves will bo arrested In a few
days.

BEGIN IN SCB-ANTON,
A Word About Missions, with a
Local Application!
In the course nf the special mission
ary exercises of the draco Unformed
rcplseopul Sunday school yesterday, the
following on Xorlh American' missions
was read!
"American missions ate to us huinc
missions, and, like most things, close
at hand, and matters of dally experi
ence, they excite lltttle Interest among
us. It Is easy to gel together n large
audience, and rouse them to u fever
heat of enthusiasm over China, India
or Central Africa, but try to gather the
same audience and to arouse the same
enthtiBlamn over the needs of those
perishing at your very doors, and you
will not be llkelv to repeat the experi
ment. Wo need not go outside Scran
ton for a proof of lite coriectness of
this assertion.
"On Franklin avenue, In our own
city, an institution as trlily missionary
as any medical mission to Central
Africa, or society for establishing
schools and churches in China, Is dying
(If It be not already dead) of starva
tion, It asks from the people of Scrim
ton less than four cents per head to
reach out and save the lost In Christ's
name, and Scranton practically says It
costs loo much. Verily human souls
are cheap today.
"W hen our Lord commissioned Ills
disciples, he ordered them to begin
their work at Jerusalem, and I believe
that Ills command to Scranton Chris
tians, to Grace church Sunday school,
Is to begin at Scranton."
UNION VETERAN LEGION.
Steps Being Taken to Organize an
Encampment in This City.
What Commander Says.
J. Edwin Hrown, of Washington, D.
C, natlonnl commander of the I'nlon
Veteran Legion, was in this city yes
terday laying plans for tho organiza
tion of an encampment of the legion
in this city. He bus Interested several
war veterans in the plan and they have
promised to circulate a petition for a
charter.
The Union Veterans' Legion is essen
tially different from the Grand Army
of the Republic, in that membership in
it is very much restricted. Only sol
diers, sailors and marines of the Union
army, navy and marine corps during
the war of the Rebellion who volun
teered for a term ofithree years and
were honorably discharged for any
cause after a service of at least two
continuous years or who were dis
charged by reason of wounds received
in the line of duty, providing they en
listed before July 1, 1S0S, are eligible to
membership.
Commander Diowii in conversation
with a Tribune man yesterday after
noon, said:
"The Union Veteran Legion Is not
antagonistic to the Grand Army of the
Republic as many people surjpose. I
am a member of the G. A. It. myself
and I would sooner lose my right arm
than lose my membership In it. The
aim of tills organization is to satisfy
the desires of old soldiers who may de
sire a distinctly soldiers' organization.
In a Grand Army post room the battle
scarred three year veteran may bo
seated between a. soldier who volun
teered for only nine months and who
only served for thirty days and another
who had to be paid $1,000 to fight In de
fense of the flag.
"That isn't possible In our organiza
tion. Every member must be a real
veteran with two years' service to his
credit. Xo drafted person, no substi
tute nor any person who has ever
borne arms against tho United States
Ik eligible. The Union Veteran Legion
is the only leal soldiers' organization
In the world."
R. II. Holgate has become actively
interested in tho movement to estab
lish an encampment here and has prom
ised to assist in arousing an interest
among the old soldiers. Thirty names
are required before a chillier can be
secured.
Something of Interest.
To the ladles. Beginning January I, wo
offer our $2.60 and $3 ladles' box calf
shoes for $1.73. No old stock.

THE HUMAN
LOCOMOTIVE
SERMON DELIVERED BY REV.
DR. M. W. STRYKER.
President of, Hamilton College Spoke
In the Second Presbyterian Church
Last Night, and Drew an Analogy
Botween tho Railroad Engine and
Its Engineer, and the Human Body
and the Individual Reward at tho
End of tho Division for Those Who
Obey Ordeis.
Itev. Dr. M. W. Slryker, president of
Hamilton college, preached an analo
gous sermon last night In die Second
Presbyterian church, likening tho
human body and the Individual to a
locomotive and a locomotive engineer,
and showing that the same rules and
regulations which must bo observed by
the latter apply to the former as well.
The doctor took for hfs text Romans.
iia:l, "I beseech you, therefore, breth
ren, by the mercies of God, that ye
present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God. which Is
your reasonable service." After rcfer
llng to the American locomotive as a
Witness to the world of the. enterprise
and power that lies In u free manhood,
Dr. Slryker said:
"What a wonderful thing this thing
of steel ami steam Is. The manufac
ture of locomotives has always been an
evolution, and the machine Itself at
every stage has borne the touch of
mind. Every perfected eontrlvnnce on
a modern locomotive represents a
thought, tho gieat machine Itself Is an
Idea In Iron. Swift or slow, but alwavs
sure, It is a wonderful epitome of man's
control of material things and a won
derful parable showing that the great
forces of nature can be transformed
Into uses.
AROUT Ol'll BODIES.
"Your bodies, like the locomotive, arc
fearfully and wonderfully made. They
are compactly lined, tubed and jolnlcii.
Who can say that they are less ex
pressive of the work of a master me
chanic than is the locomotive? The
Master Mechanic in this instance is
more than a man, and should the en
gineer say to Him, 'Whv hnst thou
made me?' or 'Why am I here?'
"The owner of a. locomotive has the
right to use and the authoilty to con
trol it as he will. It is his, it was made
for him and he can do with it as ho
wills. He puts an engineer In charge
and transfers to him his authority to
run tho engine. It becomes the en
gineer's engine for the time being, and
it Is for him to use or abuse. If he Is
careless or di link, the engine may be
wrecked nnd with It other engines. If
he is wise, he will care for his engine.
He will protect it ami force It to do Its
best.
"But do with it what lie may, he w'lll
be held responsible for it in the end,
and will be called to answer for Its
condition, just as you and I will be
called upon to answer for our stcward
shlp of that intricate, wonderful, dan
gerous machine, the human body. We
dare not sav we are not the engineers
and that we are the whole road, be
cause we each of us know that our con
trol of this human engine is but n
delegated control and our authority but
an authority vested in us by God.
MAKE NO PROGRESS.
"I suppose all of you are familiar
with the models of locomotives which
wo sometimes see enclosed in glass
cases. You drop a coin in the slot and
the wheels move, but the little engine
stands still. How many of us there are
who have motion, but who make no
progress. A pathetic story causes us
to feel and move, and we just begin to
make a fair show when we suddenly
stop.
"Oh, let us couple on to the cais,
forty or sixty of them, according to the
load. Let us send more steam to our
cylinders and less to our whistles. Let
us bite the track and keep out of the
repair house as much as possible. Let
us run on the track and not off. The
rails are God's commandments. There
is nothing more pitiable than to see n
great engine off the track and out of
use for the time.
"Let us remember to heed orders, no
matter when or how they come. If the.v
tell us to stop, let us stop. If they tell

the action of Iho union after the meet

"io CYiitinl Labor I'ulou has

never color blind, that wo may see the

many burstetl boilers and shattered
wheels In the ditches alongside the rail

"If we follow these directions, we
may be sure that when we slow down
at the end of the division, panting but
punctual, the manager of the road will
not forget us, though we may not be
noticed by the pnssengers.
"Yield your bodies, my friends, as a
living sacrifice acceptable unto God.
That Is what you are In the world for.
There is danger, of course, but will you
shirk danger? Work, but you ate men
and women trained for tho place and
should be ready to die with your hand

TOOK CARBOLIC ACID.
Georgo Poarch, Despondent Because
Out of Work, Attempted Suicide
on Saturday Night.
George Poarch, an eldeily German
who has been boarding for some time
with Jacob Klefer, of 115 Prospect ave
nue, attempted suicide shortly before
midnight on Saturday night by taking
carbolic acid. He will probably re
cover. Poarch had been despondent for some
weeks because of his failure to se
cure employment and had been con
tinually worrying about the welfare of
his four little children. He was out
on Saturday night and came in shortly
after 11 o'clock. He went directly to
Ills room and shortly afterwards the
members of the family heard him
struggling fiercely and crying for as
sistance. Going up-stalrs they found him
writhing on the floor In great' agony
w llli an ounce bottle labelled "carbolic
acid" clutched In bis hand. Dr. Webb
was summoned and rendered all the as
sistance possible until the arrival of
the Lackawanna hospital ambulance.
Poarch was removed to that Institu
tion where It was said last night that
he would probably recover. He Is sul
len and morose and won't talk to any
of the hospital attendants.

SERMON.
In tho Ehst Presbyterian Church
Yesterday Morning Ho Spoke on'
"Christ's Witnesses" The Chris
tian Church Need Not Fear That
tho Testimony of Christ and His
Apostlos Will Be Overthrown.
Many Arc Very Weak Witnesses
for Christ nnd His Holy Religion.
In tho First Presbyterian church yes
terday morning Hew James Mr-Leo 1,
D, n spoko' on "Christ's Witnesses,
the Source of Their Power and the
Sphere of Their Activity and In
fluence." Ho took as his text the words
found In Acts 1 and 8. "But, yo shall
receive power, after that the Holy
Ghost Is come upon you; and ye shall
be witnesses unto me both In Jerusa
lem, and In all Judea, and In Samaria,
ond unto tho uttermost parts of the
earth." Dr. McLeod spoke as follows:
Thej wonU of our T,onl were .itMiewnl to Ills
ilMplei Immeillntcly before Mil acenlon. Tliev

Duihiff the duty il.i. . that hail Intervened be
tween Ills resurrection anil lib nseemlnn, our
Lord s.ne to Ills disciples many Infallible proofs
of llli Mcwhbshlp. lie proved unto tliom, be.
oml the pcwililllrr of doubt, the fact of His
resurrection; ntul lie instructed them In "tliliw
pertalnluc lo the kingdom of (foil." They needed
Ills Instiuctlon, for, in jet, their Ideas of C!od't
l.lnsrdoiu weio vit'iie nnd crinneous. Notwith
standing llieii ii"iulitio!i with .leans for three
.o.irn, thei Mill clung to the notion h.it the
Messiah's lelgn would.be temporal, nnd that
Ills Kingdom would resemble that of Puld and
Solomon. That was the iireinlcnt .Tew-i-.li belief,
and fie diclples of Clnlst Imbibed It, and ad
lined to it. It was this belief that prompted tile
question: "f.oid, wilt thou at this lime restore
npilu the kingdom lo Kindf" ITIiIh question
was pioinpled, not only by .1 false conception of
tho nature of Christ's Kingdom, but aNo by nn
unwise (iiiioelty. Tlie.i wcie anxious to Know
the time. Ilcnre our Lord nnswered tlii-m, saj
Ing: "It Is not for you to Know the times or
the fi'.ioin which the father hath put in His
own power. ,
HIS FIRST IlKIU'Ki:.
Thli was not the first lime that our Lord had
occasion lo ieiroe ami r-lm'.p his disciple. IIu
admtnlsteied a .stinging rebuke lo lVtev a few
dajs bcfoie, for piling Into the futuie in older
to gratify his ruiiusity tombing the fate of Ills
deaily lieloied John, lint the only answer Christ
gave Iiiin was: "What, is tint to thee? Fol
low thou me." Po, too, our Lord had ccc.isinn
to lebuKe .lames anil John, the sons of Xebcdee,
for their fjl-i conception of Ills Kingdom, and
for their -eltlsh ambition to seeuic the chief cats
of honor in Ills kingdom, lie said unto them:
"Ye Know not what ,ie a-K."
( 'in lost ty is natural, but there are times wIumi
cuiloslty may be so foolish as to lie i-infiil.
.Speculation touching our Lord's second aihcnt,
and tombing the nituro of His kingdom, has lint
ceased. Cm ions specul iters hale lived dates for
our l.uid'rt coming, and this notwithstanding the
evpiess dedaiation of Christ Himself, who says:
"Of.tlt.it day and that hour Knowcth no man, no,
not thu nngels which aie in hcau'li, nelHici the
Sin, but" .ly rather only."
Thru- aie times and seasons, which the Path r
hull put in Ills own power: tlieie aie questioi s
concerning the future, that we had better not
asK; and theie .lie many things peitainiug to the
Kingdom of Clod which ire now beyond our com

may make plain, and for thai day let us patiently
