NO DESIRE TO OFFEND the LAW.

Editor of THE TRIBUNE.
DEAR SR-After reading your ar
ticle in the TRIBUNE this morn
ing, we desire to state for your in
formation, rs well as the public, that
we have no desire to offend the law.
We believe we have q right to ask the
court to interpret the law of 1891, as far as
1t concerns druggists. We are not con-
tending against the law. We believe that
drug stores by reason of necessity and
custom, are obliged to keep open on Sun
day, and that the law of 1894 does not
prohibit them from being kept open. We
do not agree with the idea that some OF
the people held, who wanted us to ac-
quiesce in this matter, not that they were
III sympathy with it, but that the nov
ment was only %spasmodic and would blow
over in a short time. We believe that we
are either right or wrong, before the law,
and that tho courts should settle the
question for us. If the decision is an ad-
verse ono 10 the druggists, we will then
comply with the letter and spirit of the
law.
We regret that some OF the people who
have been prosecuted have assumed a posi-
ton whereby they may offend the relig-
ious sentiment; by tantallging those who
are, as we believe, honestly endeavoring
to bring about n better observance of the
Sabbath. We also regret that we have
been placed in a position to appear rs
though we were defying the law. We
have been arrested in q spirit OF coercion.
We do not think MIR. Dony, the agent who
is prosecuting US, is competent to decide
this question. We think that we have q
right of defense in this matter, and we ask
the public TO suspend judgment until the
courts dispose OF it. We 40 not intend to
take advantage Of any means to defeat the
object OF the law. We have appealed the
clse to court and are anxious for n prompt
disposal of it..
The Law and Order league Of Pittsburg
have abandoned their prosecutions and
have decided to permit the city authorities
to enforce the law Of 1894. The latter
have decided that druggists are compelled
to keep open. We believe that il the men
who are leading this movement had made
n reasonable effort to have the city author.
tiles OF OH city enforce the law Of 1894
they would nave met with success.
Yours respectfully.

RECEPTION TO raw. MR.. PARRY.
He Also Delivered Il Sermon at First
Walsh Bantist Church.

He Also Delivered u Sermon at First
Welsh Baptist Church.
The Rev Abel j. Parry preached at
the First Welsh Baptist church, South
Main avenue. last evening, to another
large congregation. This being the
last of the series Of the special services
at the Baptist church, several who were
unable On previous occasions, awaited
themselves of the opportunity to hear
the celebrated Welsh divine. The SER
vice was entirely in Welsh and the
Rev. w. J, Jones and other clergymen
assisted IN the conducting of the ser.
vices. MIR. Parry selected his text
from ii Peter, i: oil, and based his
discourse principally upon the ninth
verse, But he that laclisth these things
is blind, and cannot see afar off,"
There were. he remarked, two differ
ent kinds of good sight," to see afar
off and also to 'see clearly" And then
by an admirable illustration of the case
of Moses, who was enabled to see the
land of Canaan afar off from Mount
Pisgah. he dwelt upon the absolute
necessity Of all who would be true and
earnest Christians not "to lack those
things" which were referred to in the
words Of the text, but to make certain
of their Mount Pisgah. To ''sse c clearly"
was also M essential factor for the
welfare OF the would-be Christian, and
by some excellent illustrations aptly
given, the preacher forced his points
with great power and made an evident
impression upon his hearers.
a reception was held in honor of the
Rev. A. 7. Parry at the residence Of
Mr.. Davies. South Main avenue, yester.
day, where Il large number of friends
enjoyed a pleasant afternoon.

ADVANTAGES OF SCRANTON.
They Are Stunned Up by Secretary Of the
Board Of Trade Anterior.

- -
In discussing the local industri al
condition and outlook Secretary D. B.
Athsrton, Of the board Of trade, said
yesterday to a TRIBUNE reporter;
The manufacturing advantages Of
this city are peculiar. In the first
place we have the cheapest fuel known,
costing when improved plants are used
less than SO per horse power per year.
This fuel Is here in abundance and can
be had for 10 cents per ton st the
mines or Tor not more than 80 cents
delivered at boilers. Again. we have
an inexhauStable supply of pure water,
which Is a very important item to the
manufacturer"
I'm Scranton there ia an abundance of
labor, both male and female, that can
be had at reasonable rates. Strikes and
labor troubles are unknown"
The silk mills and other industries
have run steadily here all during the
late depression. Just at this time
there IL a desirable site offered free to
any responsible concern that will be.
gin operations at once. Two outside
industries are now considerering the
locating Of n plant on this plot of
ground and it IL likely that councils
will exonerate from taxes for ten years
any concern that occupies this or any
other location"
II believe Scranton today is the best
place in the country for the manufse-
turer; beside the cheap fuel, une1celled
transportation facilities and cheap
labor; we are q city of elegant resi-,
dences. the best lighted city in the
United States, with plenty of educa-
tional andchurch facilities"

that a canvass was made by them. The
cold reception mentioned evidently was
enough to convince them that this is not

cred an address on the EIizsbethean

pleasing speaker, and held the atten-

siHer remarks dealt with the manners
and customs of people during the reign
of Queen Elizabeth, England's virgin
ruler. The qnaintnees and oddly of
wearing apparel and tho confined
limits Of woman's sphere during the
queens reign were eontrasted with the
styles Of today, and the extended lati-
tude given to woman's circle In this

Miss Dickinson was roundly ap.

on the sublime and revealed the pol.
ished finiah of an accurate and well

Editor of TUE tribune;

Editor Of TUE TRIBUNE:
DEAR SIR wish to thank you for your
excellent editorial of this morning on the
Sabbath question. 1t IL refreshing read
ing. Violation of law must not be ex-
cused because Of notification of law nor
because Of responsibility of law breakers.
10 an ordinary citizen notification is no
more tolerable in Scranton than in South
Carolina and the open resistance to enforce
ment OF law IN Scranton is as i%neXcusgble
rs III the coke regions. Indeed, in the lat
ter case when men are ignorant Of our
laws and think they are fighting for bread,
theirs seems the least fragrant case.
But l wish to say ono word about a term
used by you, and also in n late address by
our honored mayor, to wit: "Donyism.7'
1t does not suggest u strong case to abuse

been said about Dony and his methods
which do not affect tue issue. MIR. Dony
has yet to experience the abuse which has
been visited upon Anthony Comstock and
Doctor Parkhurst, and he may congratu.
late himself accordingly. l have person.
ally known Mr.. Dony since we were bows
together. He was a good boy TO his wild
owed mother, u good student and a GOOD
friend. Time and distance separated us
for many years. He entered tho gospel
ministry and l have yet to hear a woru
against his standing-indeed consider the
great Methodist church a~bundantly com.
petent to care for its honor as represented
b. him, and II he were unworthy, we
would know it.
l understand Mr.. Dony before entering
upon the Sunday closing work took partic-
ular pains to visit the druggists and re-.
quest them to stop the sale of soda water,
and only resorted to law when other
means failed. What other method
could he have adopted2 and what other

ment will be made in this column later.
