Church Notes.
At the Stroudsburg union Thanks
giving service in St. John's Lutheran
church the sermon was preached by
Rev. Dr. Chalfant. pastor of the M. E,
church. Dr. Chalfant, in his address,
defended the Chinese against the attacks
that aro being made on them, and said
that the United Slates is made a dump
ing place for nations more offensive than
the Chinese.
The sermon created a great of inter
est in the church and throughout the
town and was the principal topic of con
versation in Stroudsburg yesterday.
"Strikes and boycotts" was the theme
of the Thanksgiving day sermon by
Rev. Dr. James McLeon, in the Presby
terian church at Scranton. His subject
was inspired by the street railway
strike there, he having been served
with a notice because lie was seen
riding in a boycotted car. He desig
nated the boycott a foreign importation
—an infernal social machine—the
meanest, un-American, un-Christian
device that can be imagined.
A new $65,000 German Catholic
church was dedicated in East Mauch

Over lifty priests from surrounding

Pittston Reservoir Bursts.
Pittston was in a ftsver of excltninont
yesterday causod by the report that the
large reservoir of the Pennsylvania
Coal Company had burst its dam, and
that the water wasrushlnginto the city.
The rumor proved to be well founded,
but not of startling proportions. The
large reservoir at the top of No. 3 plane
broke at 5 o'clock In tlie morning. The
water rushed down the hill, washing
out the E. and VV. V. tracks and caus
ing great damage to property. The
break has been feared for many months.

THEATRICAL
"Barbara Frietchie" is an unusually
clever play, beautifully staged and will
be successful under any circumstances.
The quaint street in Frederick. Aid., in
which the scenes are laid, with its low
dwellings is one of the best scenic
pictures yet displayed. The drosses of
the era of crinoline were designed
without a touch of extravagance and
will bo much admired. "Barbara
Frietchie*' is a new and \aluable orna
ment to the list, of American plays, of
which wo may be proud, and the title
character is acted by Miss Florence
WlckiilTe with a sensitive appreciation
of all its qualities and with simulations
of tremulous ardor that are splendidly
victorious.
t t t
Phil R. Miller's "Hottest Coon in
Dixie" Company gave one of the finest
musical entertainments last evening ever
seen at the Grand. Every player was
an artist and their specialties were of
a high order. The singing also was
first class, and that the production
found favor with a large audience pres
ent was evidenced by the luughter and
applause which greeted the performance
from the beginning to the end. Bob A.
Kelly. Joo Hodges and Lai a Launch*
more were deserving of special mention,
thoir work being excellent. —lla/.leton

"A Trapper's Daughter" was not
played at the opera house Wednesday
evening, as the number of admissions
was too small to warrant the raising of
the curtain. The company, It is be
lieved, is above the average of its kind,
but they carry a band and give a street
parado, and this condemned them in
the eyes of local theatre-goers, owing to
the fact that the companies which
recently appeared here with bands gave
very poor performances.
t t t
The "Barbara Frietchie" Company
arrived here today from Carbondale and
will leave tomorrow for Allentown,
where they end their one-night stands.
Commencing with Monday next they
play only week stands for the balance
of the season.

Studying American Methods.
William Abraham, a member of the
British parliament from the Rhondda
valleys district in Wales, is making a
tour of the coal region. During the past
week he has been in Wilkosbarre and
has nightly made addresses to the
miners and other working men. His
mission here is to study the conditions
of the mine workers, their plan of or
ganizations and such features as may
improve upon the conditions now exist
ing in England and Wales.
He is president of the Welsh Miners'
Federation, representing 133,000 mem
bers, and next year the system of regu
lating miners' wages, hours of work,
etc., is to be changed. In view of this
he resolved to come to this country and
study the conditions. He has already
visited the soft coal regions, and is sur
prised at the great progress thore in the
work of miuiug and the many improve
ments in use which havo not yet been
introduced in Great Britain. Ho was
particularly impressed, ho said, with
the use of electricity as a motive power.

night between Jack Uonner, of Summit
Hill, and Dan Creedon, of Australia, at
