STAR COMBINATION.
Great Concert at the Armory ,on
April a.
The Stur combination of artists that
the home managers have secured for
the annual benefit Is not surpassed
anywhere on the globe. Twelve years

Uils country as u "Wonder Child," To

wonder" with his astonishing violinist's
powers.
Of Hen Duvles, the famous Welsh
tenor fiom London, the following can
safely be said, that no artist from
England has ever met with lite Success
achieved during the pnst few years.
The possessor of n magnificent voice,
pure its a bird and an artistic .temper
ament which has placed liliu nt the
head of the list nf tenors now before
the world on tho conceit plAtforin.

NO LONGER A SPECIAL.
Commission of Frank Kofchinskl Re
voked by Director Wormser,
Director of Public Safety F. h. Win ni
sei got back to his olllce Saturday
morning after his trip to Pittsburg and
his first olllelal net was to revoke the
commission held by Frank Kofchinskl,
i has been a special olllcer for some
time.
The dliector took this step upon
learning that Kofchinskl Is now under
ball on the chatge of extorting money
from Old Forge saloon-keepers by Im
personating County Detective Phillips,
it will be teiuembei-ed that Kofchinskl
Is also under Indictment for the killing
of Daniel McAullffe on Luzerne street
several months ngo In a riot glowing
out of the s'treet car troubles.
MINE LABORERS PROTEST
They Are to Demand Better Treat
ment and Better Pay from the
Miners.
Mine laboiers of Polish, Hungarian
nnd Llllnmnlnn extraction have started
n movement looking to the securing or
better wages, .lust how far the move
ment has spread Is not known, but the
leaders claim that there are 10,000 of
these people In the coal legions, and
that all of them can be gotten to join.
Most of the miners, the projectors of
the movement point out, are English
speaking men, and most of the labor
ers are foreigners, who can speak little
or no English. The latter being anxi
ous to get work, submit to anything
that the miner sees lit to Impose. As a
result. It Is claimed the laborer not
only does not get his full shaft of tho
earnings of a chamber, but is required
to do work that belongs to the miner.
The miner, it Is contended, earns from
$.1.7") to $4 a day, for three or four hours'
work, while the laborer gets only about
V- a day. and must woik from eight to
ten hours. Some minors, It Is averred,
Mmply mark where the holes arc to be
drilled, and after they are drilled
charge and fhe them, requiring the
laborer to do the drilling, as well as his
tegular work of loading and cleaning
up.
The laborers, it is said, propose to
demand equal pay with the miner, and
that the miner shall do his own work.
The miners declare that if such a de
mand is made, according to one of their
number, the laborers will be discharged
and the miners will do the work them
selves. MEMBERS FAVOR IT.
Considering Proposition to Build
New Club House. i
At the meeting of the Scranton club,
Saturday night, the proposition to erect
a $150,000 club house was very warmly
favored and the board of dlrectois was
authorized to appoint a committee to
consider and report on what would be
the best means of successfully carry
ing out the project.
Another meeting will be held Satur
day night next, to penult of a fuller
expiesslon of opinion than was possible
at one meeting.
The officers of the club are quite con
fident that the project will go through.

THE SERIES OF EVANGELISTIC
MEETINGS WAS BEGUN.

Penn Avenue Baptist Chuieh Last
Night on Christ's Injunction to
Peter, "What Is Thnt to ThecP
Follow Thou Me" Meetings to Bo
Continued Every Night This Week
nt 7.40 O'clock Bible Readings hi
the Afternoon.
llov. Dr. L. M. S. llayncs of Ulng
hnmton, a powet fully eloquent preach
er and u clergyman well known
throughout the east as a revivalist of
more than ordinary ability, delivered
the llrst of a setles of evangelistic ser
mons last night In the Penn Avenue
Baptist church. lie tools for his text
a part of the twenty-second Verse ot
the twenty-llrsl chapter of John,
"What Is that to UiieY Follow thou
me," and spoke In part as follows:
"You all. no doubt, ri call the clrciiin
stances which led Christ to say these
words. He had given Peter to under
stand that he -.wis to feed Ills lambs
and sheep. Peter was apparently sat
isfied In his own mind as to what he
had to do, but he took occasion to ask
the Lotd about John. 'What shall that
man do, Lord?' hi said, and Christ re
plied, What Is that to thee? Follow
thou Me.'
"You and I, everbody In the world,
In fact, are constantly asking questions
similar to that asked by Peter. There
Is so much that attracts our attention
ind so much to be explained. There
Is so much that we do not understand.
We are wanderers groping In the dark.
We cannot see God. we cannot feel
Him, we cannot touch Him, but we
know that He exists and all that we
tan do Is to listen and to heed the
words of Ills divine Son, who bade
Peter follow Him.
DIFFEKENCE OF CONDITIONS.
"One of the things which attracts the
attention of men and which prevents
many from accepting Christ is the dlf
feience between the conditions of the
rich and poor. This has been the
great question of the ages. "Why
should there be snnie supplied with all
the luxuries of life, and others too
poor to buy themselves bread? There
has never been n time In the history
of the world when theie nave not been
both rich and poor, and there never
will be a time ivhe'n these two classes
will not exist. It Is not for us to ask
Cod's leason for these conditions of
life. It Is rather our Christian duty to
accept that life which Cod has seen lit
to place us In and to remember the
words of Christ, 'What Is that to thee?
Follow thou Me.'
"The difference among the Christian
churches Is another thing which keeps
people away fiom Christ. They see
some people being baptized by Immer
sion and some being baptized by the
simple pouring of water on the head;
they near of the doctrine of the Bap
tist, Methodist, Prppbytei,",?..: -ind Lu
theran churches and they become con-fus-ed,
not knowing which to accept.
They should remember Christ's Injunc
tion, 'What Is that to thee. It Is not
the church we ate to follow. It is
Christ. Any church -where the Lord
Jesus Is Muster Is a proper resting
place for the wandering s-oul.
MEANING OF LIFE.
"What does life all mean? Where are
system, having been on the load for
thirty-seven years.
The new chairman of the trainmen's
committee Is likely to be called upon
to devote all his time to business of tlie
uigunlzntlon, and a pinposlilou Is now
under consideration to make the posi
tion a salaried one. It is the duty of
the chairman to visit the various lodges
whenever summoned for consultation,
and as these lodges aie t-ealteied over
i tluee states, some of them divided by
a distance of lour hundred miles, the
j c liainnaii, as may be believed, is not
allowed much time for his regular avo
cation. W. J. Welsh, the newly-elected school
controller from the Ninth waul, Is a
worthy successor to his piedec-essor.
Captain W. A. May, who, during his
four yenris' term of service, was recog
nised as one of the ablest and most
capable men on the board. Mr. WeMi

we going to? Why am 1 heio? How
often we hear these questions and how
much the great philosophers have writ
ten upon them, They are the myster
ies of life. They perplex me often, as
do many other great questions, such ns
the existence ot the 1100,000,000 Moham
medans In tho world, ull followers of a
false ptophot. Hut when I am thus
perplexed, 1 simply say 'Whut Is that
to thee" follow thou Christ. Do just
as lie f-ays; obey His laws and you
will be sure to emerge sometime from
the forest of doubt Into the great open
of God's love on the plains of the eter
nal city.
"What tt glorious thing It Is to huvc
Jesus as our Master ana as our guide
over the rough and dangerous places.
Lost wo truly are In the depths ot a
great forest, and without Christ as our
guide we shall never llnd the open.
Put your trust In Hint nnd follow Ills
guiding hand until tho end of life's
Journey. It's the only safe way."
The evils of procrastination or the
putting off of conversion day by day
were forcibly pointed out by Dr.
Haynes, who told a little Incident of
two shlpwiecked men cast ashore on a
bleak- and barren Isle, with only one
broken match between ihin. lie told
of the Infinite care with which they
guarded this match ana how each was
afraid to take the responsibility of
kindling a fire with It, for fear It would
go out. Finally, after hours ot hesita
tion, one of the men struck It and set
fire to the dry wood which they had
gatheied together.
DON'T DELAY.
".My friend," said he. "you may have
but one match left and but one more
day left in which to strike It. Tt may
go out If you wait longer or you may
lose It. Won't you try to strike It for
Christ tonight and have your hearts
kindled with Hod's ever-burning love."
Dr. Haynes will preach In the Penn
Avenue Baptist church every night this
week except Saturday and will give
lllble readings this afternoon and also
on Wednesday and Friday afternoons.
The night services proper will begin
piomptly at 7.4," o'clock nightly, but
they will be preceded by a song ser
lce, beginning at 7..10 o'clock. The
afternoon services will begin at I1.30
o'clock.
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK.
Talk at Elm Park Church by Rev.
Hugh Cork, of Pittsburg, a Well-
Known State Worker.
Rev. Hugh Cork, of Pittsburg, super
intendent of organization and house-to-house
woik for the State Sabbath
School association, addressed a gather
ing of Sunday school workers yester
day afternoon in the Sunday school
room of the Elm Park Methodist Epis
copal church. He s.poke on Sunday
school work in general, and sought to
inspire his listeners with gt eater en
ergy and with a definite purpose In
their work.
The Sunday school, he declared, pre
sents today the greatest and most
fruitful field of activity for those Chris
tians who may desire to Invest their
talents for eternity. Those who aie
brought Into the fold of the Christian
faith dm lug childhood, he said, are in
nearly every Instance the best and
truest Christians.
"Oh, the opportunities for good thnt
are being constantly neglected," said
he, "Kit teen years ago a little chap,
who couldn't speak much English, was
wandering about near Allegheny, Ho
wasn't looked after to any very great
extent by his patents, and theie was
no place Into which he was called to
leam of the Master. Last September
that neglected boy sent two bullets Into
the body of President McKlnley, and
threw the whole country Into sonow.
Perhaps the neglect of some Sunday
school worker, w hen that fellow was
young, was directly icsponslble for his
wandering away Into sin and wicked
ness." He declared that the Sundny school
Is a hindrance In one lespeet, and that
he sometimes thinks that for this one
reason the world might be better with
out ;t.
"I lefer to the habit which some
Clulstlan people have," said be, 'of
bilnglug their children to us to train
for them. The Sunday school bus Its
place, but It Is not Intended to sup
plant the home. 1 send my children to
the Sunday school and I am glad to do
so, but when they go to heaven, I wwnt
myself and my wife to receive the
major p'irt of the credit for sending
them therm The work of the Stiudav
school Is simply to supplement the
work of the Christian home and to do
for the tin-Christian homes what they
ate not doing for themselves."
lie pointed out the necessity nf Sun
day school workers giving up the idea
Unit all wisdom and understanding Is
to he found In their own denomination,
nnd of profiting by the experience of
workets in other churches,
"Our Sunday schools aie not doing
what they ought to do," said he, In
conclusion. "We have methods and
plans enough to turn the wot Id upside
down, If they weie only propel ly ap
plied and rightly operated, Theie are
loo many of us doing the woik with
out any definite purpose nnd who are
unable to give a reason for their doing
of it except that they drifted Into It
and find It hurd to get out ugaln. You
must have n deilnlte purpose, a definite
piupiiratlou for the accomplishment ot
that purpose, and you must be able to
ilellultely present the work to your
pupils."

A sjiell of mild weulher unseason
ably warm, In fiict has come to the
relief of producers, and the most de
structive Hood in the anthracite le
gion has ever known has resulted In
little discomfort to producers. Had
the weather for the past week been as
cold and raw as a year befoie, then
would have been a great howl for-ooal,
and all manner of newspaper talk
nbotlt it coal famine. As matters stand,
consume! s wunt coal only for Imme
diate needs, and those who have a
little on hand wall until thut is gone
before ordering more. As a result, the
demand Is not strong, and Jobbers and
dealers have been able to meet orders
without much trouble.
Most of the railroads huvc repaired
the washouts along their lines, and all

Delawure and Hudson, nnd the Lacka
wanna are about In shape, so far as
transportation Is concerned, to get
through their usual tonnages.
As regards the prospects of a general
strike nt the mines, present Indications
are against It. The mlnels are mak
ing good wages, and there Is every
prospect that the companies will an
nounce a continuation of the present
wage scale for another year. At the
same time, they will probably refuse
to grant any such drastic, demands as
those made nt the Mine Workers' con
vention at Indianapolis. There Is no
prospect of the companies announcing
their spring prices until It Is seen that
there Is no probability of a sti Ike. En
