DISTRACTED THE STREETS.
e. Jacobs Arrested While Preaching on


e. Jacobs Arrested While Preaching on
Eddy Street.
E. Jacobs is a constant attendant on
spiritualistic meetings and "up" in all the
advanced thought of the day. 1t Is his fad
to know Of every new ology and ism, but
it has got him in trouble.
Yesterday he attended a meeting in Wash
ington Hall. and on leaving it waited a mo-
ment to hear a social reformation speech on
the corner Of Eddy and Market streets
Across the street the Salvationists were
holding forth. Not the Salvation Army, but
an outlying squad that breaks the silence
that usually characteriZeS Co numerical street
on Sunday.
Jacobs saw this social Telormer holding
down one corner and the religionists on the
other, and he thought he would do some
preaching on his own score. Drawing from
his pocket a document he commenced to
read. 1t was parer prepared for slgners
protesting against the closing on Sundays of
the Chicago Worlds Fair. Before he had
done reading Officer MacLean ordered him
to move on. He did, but only thirty feet
and commenced again to address a dmin-
ished crowd of listeners. The second COM
mand was not by precept but by example
Jacobs was landed at the new City Hall P0-
lice Station for disturbing the peace and OBJ
Structing the street.
Twenty-Five dollars bail suffi ed TO release
him. 1t was furnished by people in SYM
patty with his views. The other speakers
in the street were unmoleSted and Jacobs
thinks that an unwarranted discrimination
was exercised in his case.

Carpenter is now past 20 and physical

ST. ALBAN'S SERVICE.
Memorial Address Delivered by
Rev. w. L. Citizens.

Last night in Cambrian Hall, 1913 Mission
street, Rev. W. l.. Citizens, chaplain at the
Old Ladies' Home. held memorial services
for the st. Adams Episcopal Mission. The
altar was handsomely decorated and the
chapel exhibited welcoming briliance. due
to the judiciOus distribution Of bouquets and
festOOns about the room. The attendance
was very large.
In speaking of the necessity for such DAYS
of memory the gifted orator said: "This
world is beautiful world-God loved it
but it is not home. Here all is transition.
all Is tieeting. The names we see in old
family Bibles are Of people whose labOrs,
ambitions and lives were the same as ours.
Perhaps from the millions who have lived
there may have been some noble character
more noble than those about him, some
loving soul more lovab!e, or some
event more surprising than the usual every
day trend of affairs, and these we hold in
grateful hearty memory.
1--WE should honor the dead; but how
much better it is to shower half the fullness
Of our hearts on them while they live. If
only One-half the good things we say Of
the dead were said to the Lying what a
paradise this world of ours would be.
Do not keep the kind attentions for the
caSket, but for the loved OneS we have
with us.
1--WE are young nation as yet, but we
have few monuments that hold US to the
past. The greatest of all are the shafts
erected in memory of the tragedies of the
late rebellion. For us of the East the
greatest-f0r it meant the birth of this
Dati0n-is Bunker Hail. May both 90 down
TO memory and teach their good lessons"

ORGANIZED LABOR.
Granite. Cutters VIII Work and
Smoke To-Day.
Mill Carpenters Ordered to Continue Their
strike-sausage-M Makers Unite.
New Union

The members of the Granite-cutters'
Union who went on strike one week ago
because they were ordered to stop smoking
while at work will resume their chisels and
pipes tomorrow with an unadulterated be-
lief in the truth of the motto, In union
there is strength"
They knew they would win the strike
when they went out because there were no
nOn-uniOn granite-cutters in the State 10
take their places and there was an active
demand for granite-cutters throughout the
country. They were urged to call upon the
State Board of Arbitration to settle the
strike, but they left the call to the en-
ployers, and when the board decided in their
favor their representatives said they had no
power to accept the finding Of the board,
although that finding was in their favor
The representative Of the bosses on the
other hand said that he was willing to ae-
cept the arbitratOrS' verdict
The union met yesterday to attend the
funeral of member named Peter Morris,
and before proceeding to the cemetery voted
to declare the strike at an end, and ordered
the strikers to go back to work to-day.
Thus ended the first boycott of the pipe.

CHILDREN'S DAY.
Entertainment at the Third Congrega

Entertainment at the Third Congrega-
tional Church.
The child rem of the Third Congregational
Church Sunday-school enjoyed themselves
and pleased their parents last night. 1t was
the evening of the annual Children's day
a Sabbath set apart especially for the young
members of the Sunday-scho6l, on W hich
they are accustomed TO hold exercises.
About 250 little ones assembled at the
church and ran things pretty much to suit
themselves. The Old folks enjoyed it, too.
Nearly all brought flowers, ami the pulpit
was buried in roses and lilies. The flowers
will be sent this morning to The City and
County Hospital and the Children's Hos
pital.
The exercises opened with hymn by the
children, bright Cleans Our Banner"
prayer followed by the pastor, +. b. Pull
Ian, after which the children sang another
hymn, MY Shepherd" Then came a rec-
tation, The Company l Belong to-" by
Ralph Raymond; Miss Eva White read
paper, "The hound Robin" and john ID.
Mckee followed with an address, Methods
McLerie told why l Attend Sunday
school,"
Tie programme concluded with an ad-
dress by the pastor, who also gave few
reasons why he continued to support the
Sunday school. "In the first PLACE, said he,
Il am firm believer in the association as a
potent power for good or evil. in the Sun
day-SchoOl | am sure TO find good people.
The best men of our country are Sunday
school people and are lending it their hearty
support. Then there is the instruction to
be derived and so very many advantages
and blessings that to enumerate them would
be impossible"

Mr.. Harry Stevens. the Secretary and
Treasurer OF the Pearl of Pekin Company,
which is playing at the Grand Opera House
this week, had a horrible experience at DR..
S. E. Hyndman's Turkish bath esta blish-
ment, q LOngworth street.
1t was only the fortunate attention of one
of the attendants that saved Mr.. Stevens
life, otherwise he would have been roasted

Mr.. Stevens stated to the attendant that
he would take trial of the steam" room
Def ore trying the plunge" AS soon as he
entered the steam-rOom, which is usually
kept at pretty high temperature he fell
fiat upon the marble floor. The room was
vertable furnace, the temperature being
OF such highdegTee that the marble floor
and furniture were hot enough to blister
the flesh as soon as coming in contact with
1t. Mr.. Stevens became insensble as soon
as he entered the room, and came to only
after being dragged from the place by an
attendant, who fortunately called in at an
Opportune moment. His back, sides, bI east
and feet were bnstered ~ an unsightiy de-
gree.
The feet of the attendant were also badly
burned during the short interval he was en-
gagged in pulling Mr.. Stevens limp form
from the awful furnace, with its almost red
hot marble floor.
When seen last night by an Enquirer re-
porter Mr. Stevens was lying in his room at
the Walnut.Stre House, still suffering from
the effects Of lis horrible experience at
Hyndman's. His feet were swollen to
twice their normal size. while his arms were
blistered and raw. and large sores were
plainly visible on his back and breast. -

OBIT u A RY
PRENTICE MILFORD.


Prentice MnfOrd, we'll known in New
York and California as a newspaper man,
was found dead in canoe on Saturday
afternoon in Sheepshead Bay. Tue canoe,
named White Cross, had been drifting
about aimlessy several days, and il was
only the curiosity of some boatmen that led
TO the discovery. milford had apparently
been dead several days. His face was
swollen and his mouth bloody, but there
were no signs of violence. The canoe was
fitted for short journey, Mulford returned
from California last June and became the
editor of the white Cross Library" n
monthly magazine, showing how good results
may be obtained in all branches Of business
and art through force of thought and the
silent power of the mind. On Monday last
he announced that he would spend a month
or two IN and around New York, gradually
working his way along the sound to Sag
Harbor, his birthplace, and where two If
his sisters live. He was in the habit of
going to lonely places and writing down
his thoughts He frequently wrote as if
he was possessed of two person alities, and
In the canoe was found a few lines penued
in this mood. Forty five cents and a cheap
watch were found in his pockets A few
years ago he built hut in New Jersey
swamp, where he lived the life of a hermit,
so that he could better commune with his
own thoughts
