SEAMAN PETER PLYNN
THOUGHT HE WAS ROBBED
It Cost Htm Ten Dollars to Learn
That He Had Made a Mistake.
A tall, ilnely built tnnn, bronzed
by exposal e to tho weather, came Into
Superintendent of Police Day's ofllee
jcFilerduy afternoon In a hurry and ex
plained In an excited way that he had
been robbed of J-100 In a disorderly
houso on Centre street, kept by Kale
Lewis. lie had the money In his vest
pocket, ho said, and when ho left the
place he discovered It was missing.
The superintendent sent Detective
Delter down to the Lewis house, where
a thorough search was mnde for tho
money, with no success. The Innuites
of the place, one and all, denied having
tiki'ii It, and the detective accordingly
pwuie out a warrant for the proprie
tress, on a ehnrge of maintaining a dls
oiderly house. She and four women
found In tlje place were arrested and
locked up In the Centre street station.
Then the detective took Peter Flymi,
tlie gentleman who said he had been
lobbed, lit hand, and asked to be taken
tn his nuaiiers. Flynn took the de
tective to his room, and, at his sugges
tion, searched thiough his belongings
for the money. He explained Hint he was
lecently honorably discharged from the
1'nlled States navy and that he drew
?fi00, his salary as petty officer for sev
eial years. Ho showed o medul, prov
ing Unit ho was with Dewey at Manila,
and swore by nil the gods on sea and
land that the money had been stolen,
Detective Delter suggested that he
strip, and lie did so, piotestlngly, as
If the thing was a huge joke. Inside
hie Inner shirt was a little pocket,
which he showed tho detective, explain
ing1 that ho kept his money there while
travelling. The detective stuck his
hand in and pulled out the missing
pocket-book, with $-100 In clean, crisp
bills.
The surprised Mr. Flynn suggested
that It would be very lilting anil proper
If the detective kicked him several
limes, but he was led, instead, before
Magistrate Howe, who was sitting In
police court, to pass judgment on the
Lewis woman and her females.
"I see you're innocent, and I won't
be hard on you," said the magistrate,
as he discharged the women.
"And you, Peter, you'd ought to be
ashamed of yourself," he continued,
looking at the seaman. "You had no
business carrying any Mich amount of
money with you. I fine you $10 for the
trouble you've given the police."
Click, went Peter's heels together,
and, standing at attention, he saluted,
saying, "Very good, sir," the man-o'-vnrs'
man's response to the orders of
his superior officers. He was banded
iH90 and he left the court room a sad
der but wiser man.

HEADACHE CHARMED.
It Is the Experience of Scranton Peo
ple That Proves the Magical Effect
of Dr. Chase's Nerve Pills with
Sick and Nervous Headache.
It has never come to any other medi
cine never to all medicines the
abundance of Scranton testimony
showing the uneuuulcd merit estab
lished by Dr, A, W. Chute's Nerve
Pills. There Is probably no case of
nervous sick headache they will not
cure.
Mrs. James Watson, of No, 313
Twelfth street, Scranton, Pa says;
"Dr, At Yv Chabe's Nerve Pills are
line. 1 began to use them for nervous
sick headuches and nervousness, and
had great success In Mopping them
completely. Recently I used them to
oveicome the depression und weak
nesses following grip and they weio
again successful, giving mo bodily
strength and nerve steadiness. As an
nll'iound nerve and general tonlo they
are grand, and I am very much pleased
that my uttentlon was called to them

At the afternoon session the report
of the credentials committee was re
ceived and adopted. A lengthy discus
sion then rollowed us to whether or not
the American Federation of Labor con
vention, which met In this city, had the
authority to select tho temporary offl
ceis of today's convention. A majority
of the delegates thought It had no such
power, and a number of names were
placed la nomination for temporary
president.
Joseph P. Allen, of Philadelphia, rep
resenting the United Labor league of
that city, was elected. George Gothler,
of this city, was elected temporary sec
i clary, and E. E. Grenwalt, of Lancas
ter, assistant secretary. The contltu
tlon and by-laws to govern the federa
tion weie debated until the hour of ad
journment. Action will be taken to
day. The per capita tax to be levied on
local labor unions for tlio support of
the federation Is the most serious prob
lem that confronts the convention.
This will make the twenty-flrst State
Federation of Labor embraced In the
Aineilcan Federation of Labor.
The main purpose of a state federa
tion ii to look after legislation. The
convention will likely last three days.
FUNERAL OF THE LATE
REV. WILLIAM F. EDGAR
Services Conducted in the Dunmore
M. E. Church, of Which He Was
Formerly Pastor.
The funeral of the late Rev. William
F. Edgar, of Owego, N. Y occurred
yesterday afternoon from the Dunmore
Methodist Episcopal church, of which
he was formerly pastor. The spacious
edifice was crowded with friends and
former parlshoners of the deceased,
v iio were anxious to pay their lust
ti Ibtile of respect to one who had been
su bt loved in life.
The service began with the rendering
by tne church choir of the hymn, "My
Times Ate in Thine Hands," after
which Rev. Charles II. Newlng, of the
Lninmore Methodist Episcopal church,
offered a most fervent and touching
prayer. Rev. J. F. Warner, presiding
elder of the Honesdale district, read
the Scripture lesson and Rev. Dr. L. L.
Pprague read resolutions eulogistic of
the deceased, w hich had been adopted
by the Methodist Ministers' associa
tion ot Wllkes-Barre. Rev. C. H. New
lng read similar eulogies from the
Providence and Dunmore Methodist
Episcopal churches.
Rev. H. II. Dresser, presiding elder of
the Owego district, made a short ad-d'-ess,
during which he paid the highest
honor to the deceased as a preacher
and as a Christian. He said that lie
had never known a man with less
faults and more virtues' than the de
parted. He Impressed the thought on
his hearers that their efforts should be
to live as truly, as nobly, and as grand
ly a had the life just closed.
Rev. Austin Griffin, presiding elder
of the Wyoming district, delivered a
short eulogy. Among other tilings, he
saiu:
"it i3 apportioned to but very few to
iHi-'inipJish what tho deceased had
wrought out. His faith was beautiful
ly shown In his last hours, when his
only thoughts were of those dear ones
who had gone before and who he was
so sron to meet. He was possessed of
an unusually well-rounded Christian
diameter. Jn the pulpit, he was
thoughtful, In the homo life, meek and
generous: In the social meetings, spirit
ual, and In the management of church
all alls conservative. He was In all
ways successful as a Christian minis
ter." Dr. Griffin closed by Invoking the
heartiest sympathy of the church for
those bereft of both father and mother
to iccently.
The rendering by the choir of two
favorite hymns of the deceased, "Beau
tiful Isle of Somewhere" and "Sweet
Bye and l.ye, ' was very touching, the
last one being the last hymn upon his
lips before the spirit left him.
The pall bearers wero Revs, H, C,
McDermott, A. II. Chaffee, F. P. Doty,
Frank- Young, James Bennlnger and U.
A, carp. Tho llower bearers were Clin
ton and Edwaid Benjamin and A. E.
Wngtiei.
Among the ministers present, the fol
lowing were noted: Revs. (!. A. Cure,
