afternoon and by the school and congrega
tion in the evening. All the exercises wore
held in the church, which was beautifully
decorated. The altar and space within the
chancel rail resembled a tropical garden.
Lovely plants and flowers of many varieties
wero artistically grouped and from tho
midst of them arose in majestic splendor a
handsome white cross with gilt inscrip
tions and surmounted by a crown. A
banana and an orange tree, the latter loaded
with fruit were among the collection.-
The services were very interesting and in
many respects surpassed any previously

large class was also confirmed in the Pol
ish Roman Catholic church on North Jar-
din street.
Rev. It. M. LIchtenwalner preached an
interesting sermon before a largo assein
blago in the new quarters of the United
Evangelical church lu Dougherty's hall
last evening. His sermon treated du the
Pharisees and hypocrites and was very
interesting.
He made a distinction between the two
and also referred to a recent article in
the IIekald In which a button torn from
the coat of a man betrayed his visit to an
improper place. Rev. LIchtenwalner said
that, whatever might be said of the
Pharisees, there was no record of one losing
a button under such circumstances. It is
tho hypocrite that is caught thus.
Contrary to the announcement, no service
was held in the Evangelical church, corner
of Cherry and West Btreets, yesterday
morning, Three people assembled to
attend the service, but left when informed
that Rev. Newhart, of Pottsville, who was
to have officiated, had not arrived. Service
was held in the evening and the attendance
showed that the movement to install a
congregation in the old church is making
slow progress. There were twenty-eight
people In attendance.

SAVED BY flElt SON.
A Woman Resolves to Reform Under
Impressive Circumstances.
About 1880 a family named Ashwert
resided at St. Clair. It consisted of hus
band, wife and threo chlldreu. According
to tho Pottsvlllo Chronicle, tho wife turned
out to bo a wild, reckless character, and
Wespite nil the efforts of the husband to
reform her, sho kept going to the bad, as
sociating with men of questionable char
acter and neglecting her children. Her
husband finally, broken-hearted, went
down to a suicido's grave, aud his remalus
were Interred at St. Clair. Tho death of
her husband did not sorve to chock Sarah
Aslpvcrt In her downward career, but now
that she was given a free rein, she plunged
deeper and deeper Into vice.
A short time after tho death of her hus
band she and her children removed to
Pottsville aud took up their residence iu
tho town's then most notorious locality,
the "Heights." Here sho associated with
men aud women of depraved character
and it was but a little while before she was
ainoug tho lowest denizens of that unsavory
neighborhood. She was known by the
appellation of "Blue Jay" and was always
tho ringleader In the disturbances which
were constantly being reported from
"Guinea Hill." Her children were grow
ing up surrounded by vice and crime, and
would undoubtedly have followed closely
in the footsteps of their mother had not a
kindly hand interposed. Ou the borough
police force at that time, wero James Shaw
and Conrad Miller, very efficient officers.
They noticed tho helpless condition of the
chlldreu and called the attention of tho
mauagers of the Chlldrens' Homo to them.
The latter a few days later had them trans
ferred to that Institution, and thero thoy
remained for several years. Finally word
came that they wore heirs to somo property
In England, and their relatives leuioved
them to that country, where they wero
reared and educated. In the meautlmo
their mother continued her lifo of depravity
on the "Heights."
Nothing more was hoard from tho chil
dren and tho history of the family had
nearly been forgotten, when, during tho
early part of last week tho oldest son,
George, arrived here from England aud
went to St. Clair In tho hope of finding
some traco of his parents. He made him
self known to tho Edwards family there,
and explained his crraud. Thoy remem
bered that Officer Charles Graoff had been
on tho pollco force at thetlmo the children
wore placed in the home, and they referred
him to that gentleman. Mr. Graeff was
much surprised when Introduced to the
tall, good-looking stranger who, he learned,
was one of tho little "shavers" his col
leagues had saved from a life of crime
fourteen years ago. It was last Tuesday
that Officer Graeft, in company with Mr.
Ashwert, visited the "Heights" aud had
an interview with tho mother. The son
did not make himself kuown to the woman
at that time, but represented himself as a
friend of her children, who wanted to
have a tombstone erected above the grave
of their father.
The woman accompanied him to St,
Clair that samo day, aud there, above tho
gravo of husband and father, the son made
himself known to his mother. It was an
afl'ectiug scene, and the woman, whoso
career had heed scarred and seared for so
many years, wept tears of bitter regret,
The son actod kindly with her aud, seated
there upon tho grassy mound, had a long
aud earnest talk with his erring mother,
which resulted in the latteriigreeiug to re
form and desert her old habits for a life of
respectability. Tho son has made arrange
ments for having his mother enter tho
home of a relative residing at Shenandoah.
He and tho other children propose taking
up their homo In this country In a short
time.

The entiro system of the Lakeside Elec
tric Railway was disabled yesterday on
account of au accident at tho boiler house
and no cars were run over the lino until
after five o'clock last evening. Tho acci
dent was iu tho form of an explosion, by
which ouo man, John Carlln, a fireman,
was dangerously scalded, and William
Pounders, an engineer, slightly in
jured. After operations ou the lino were sus
pended Saturday night, Pounders, Car
lln and an engineer named Javid Wil
liams started to put a "T" on one of the
steam pipes connected with tho boilers.
They finished the work at about five
o'clock yestorday morning aud the steam
was turned on. About an hour and a half
later tho pipe broke at one of tho flanges
aud Carlln received tho full force of the
steam on his chest, neck and face. Ho was
thrown against a brick wall, nboui; twenty
feet distant and when picked up was in a
precarious state. He was terribly scalded
from tho waist up, but it Is believed he
will recover. Pounders was slightly
scalded on tho face and neck. Williams
was out of reach of tho steam and escaped
injury.
The steam was turned oft' by Williams
aud as soon as Carlln was cared for, the
work of again repairing tho steam pipe
was begun. This work occupied tho entire
day and the line could not bo operated until
last evening,

What Stnto Superintendent Sohnoffor-
Says ConcorniUK Tenchors.
Dr. N. C. Schaefl'er, Superintendent of
Public Instruction, writes to tho Harris-
burg Patriot commending its prizo con
test by which facilities for higher educa
tion have been offered to Harrisburg school
girls, and takes occasion to say that if
atlve talent can bo induced to study away
from home In the best training schools for
teachers it will be better for the schools.
Ho says : "If a School Board employs
only homo talent, filling all vacancies from
the ranks of tho graduates of the high
school, there is dangor that tho quality of
the instruction will deteriorate, that the
methods of teaching will become ant'
quated. An Infusion of new blodtl ,
needed from timo to time. Where only-
home talent trained nowhere except in tho
homo schools is employed year after year
there Is very great danger of deterioration
and stagnation. It requires a high order
of courage for directors to ignore the
claims of their neighbors and to employ all
teachers solely upon the basis of merit and
In tho interest of tho children for whose
sake the schools are maintained; but wher
ever this policy has been pursued, the re
sults have justified It."
Soon tho school days will be over for
many young men and women, says tho
Reading Times in a reasonable strain, but
they should not commit the error of assum
ing that all their studies are to be droppod
ou the threshold of mature life. Thence
forth the demands of business for the
young man, or the pleasure of social life
or the cares of the household and family
for tho young women, aro to crowd to tho
wall, and ultimately to exclude, purely In
tellectual pursuits. Literature, history,
music, art are no longer to occupy a serious
place with advancing years. They are to
bo regarded as temporary "accomplish
ments," momentarily pursued to afford the
student a superficial polish, rather than aa
a continuous stream of influence and de
velopment quickening to continual fresh
ness the aridity of life's harder toil. There
are many unfortunate results which follow
from this mistaken view of tho purpose or
education, but one only, which Impresses
us especially, will be touched upon hero.
It Is the drooping and death of imagination
and enthusiasm which almost inevitably
result from withholding the peculiar nutri
ment on which these faculties feed. If we.
occupy ourselves wholly with business or
family cares we may develop keenness,
shrewdness, a narrow practicality, but we
excludo tho balancing qualities which tend
to soften character and to enlarge our
sympathies with the world. If our pleas
ures, oven though in themselves harmless.
require no effort of the mind, give no wings
to the imagination, or extend In no dogroo
the horizon of our knowledge, life tends
moro and more to become a dreary round
of monotonous tasks, or a feast of unsatis
fying pleasure, rather than what it should
be, a widening conquest in which the mind
to us a "kingdom Is."
