In Behalf of the Prosecuted.

The Christian citizenship of Scranton
row evenings services in the First
Presbyterian church. Apart from the
eminence and the eloquence of those
who will speak from that pulpit upon
this occasion, lies the still unfulfilled
duty OF the people of Scranton to aid
to their uttermost. by words, by SYM
pathy and by cash, their unfortunate
brethren in Armenia, among whom a
summer of wanton massacre and inde-
scribable persecution has been followed
by winter of famine and uneXampled
destitution. If those in authority In the
governments of ChristendOm fail to re-
spond to this unprecedented call for in
tervention, the Christian church in
America should not fail; but should rise
to this emergency as it rose, in our own
country. to the emergency of terminat-
ing human slavery.
In this cause the pulpit rightfully
speaks with the emphasis of paramount
authority: for it is the religion Of the
Armenians which has subjected them
to outrage and slaughter, and it SEEM
ingly must be at the prompting of the
church, working without the co-opera-
tion of the makers Of civil and interna-
tional law, that this crowning blot upon
the civilization of the nineteenth GEN.

DRESS REFORM.
Is Discussed bv the National Woman's counci
In Convention at Boston.

BOSTON, Mass. December --"Dress
REFORM engrossed, o-day, the atten-
tion of the delegates to the national
women's council. In came up in the
form of report from the national dress
committee, presented by President An
nie White Johnson, OF Chicago. It set
forth that increasing interest in the
movement is attested by the constant
demands for assistance which come to
the committee from all parts of the
country, and from foreign parts as
we'll. The popularity of the short skirt
for walking costumes has been very
noticeable this season. There are also
signs that the unsightly hard waist line
is vanishing, and that gowns which
hang from the shoulder are coming
into general favor. In Brooklyn q
woman's club has adopted a rainy day
dress with the skirt five inches from
the ground and intends to inaugurate
q reform in all dresses intended tor
street wear. Allusion was made to
the injury from tight-lacing. The re-
port went on to say that still another
Indication OF advancement was the
successful resistance women have made
to the attempts of dictators and the
manufacturers to establish another
reign OF crinoline. The report con-
cluded in this fern:
"Too much. stress cannot be laid
upon this point: The dress committee
does not champion movement which
seeks to destroy the aesthetic sense
Indeed, our demand for reform il made
in the name Of the aesthetic. But let
us not be charged with mistaking
means for an end. It is not art for
arts sake, nor beauty for beauty's
sake, nor dress for dress sake for
which we are working. Our aim is to
remove those physical and moral con-
ditions engendered by irrational dress
which have helped to arrest the devel-
opment Of women. We would clothe
them not less beautifully but more ar
fistically, not less carefully but with the
minimum Of expenditure 10 the way of
time, money and nervous strength

A eood-sized FLORIDA Fish,

At Steve Melton's fish market yesterday
morning was exhibited a fish that made
minnows of the biggest bass and drum
that were on sale.
The fish was rock groupher, weighed
700 pounds and it was eight feet long. 1t
was struck in the channel opposite May
port on Tuesday morning by the Comanche
going out, and came to the surface ''gill-
ing'' for air.
John Arnau, Mayport fisherman, saw
the monster and set out in a boat with a
negro to capture it. He ran a rope
through the gills and made it fast, but
Just at that time the stunned fish recovered
his usual energy and made things hum.
He plunged downward and set the little
boat spinning like cockleshell in whirl-
wind.
Finally the fish made seaward for more
room and deeper water. He set pace
that made the boat fairly skim the water.
Two miles below The bar, or at Burnside,
he was conquered and landed. 1t took a
mule to pull him out of the water.
The FISH has mouth big enough to hold
the head of man.-FloridaT Times Union,

These men resting here have gone on be-
fore you into the great unknown, where
the sound of battles shall never be heard.
Their trials and tribulations are at an end.
Their bodies rest on in peace forevermore.
"They are gone, grief sits on each noble
brow and pervades every heart. Their
noble forms lie low and have been COM
mitted to their kindred dust. The halo of
their deeds and the brilliancy of their
achievements may almost be said to IL
Illuminate the graves in which their bodies
lie. They are gone from your sight but
not from your hearts and your memories.
There shall their names 1--we on embaImed
with your love and garlanded with your
affections, growing brighter and brighter
as time rolls on. Their memo shall go
down to future generations emblazoned
upon the pages OF history pregnant with
the lesson of wholesome emulation, VINO
in the future do battles, not alone in this
country but throughout the length and
