REV. DR.. REED WAS ILL.
Could Not Speak in the Elm Park
Church Yesterday.

The members of the congregation of
Elnt Park church are always reluctant
to lose an opportunity to hear their
own pastor. They dread the summer
vacation when series of supplies,
preach they ever so eloquently, are
scattered over the Sundays and they
are sure to welcome DR.. GifIin with
enthusiasm on his return. one of the
visiting clergymen, however, whom
they hold in high favor Is Rev. DIR.
George Edward Reed, of Dickinson coll
lege, and the announcement that he is
to speak is certain to be received with
pleasure. 1t was therefore disap-
pointment yesterday when the pastor
stated that a sudden illness had de-
tained DIR. Reed at his home.
DIR. Giffin then said that he had been
so fortunate as to secure DR.. Hughes,
formerly missionary in South Africa,
who would speak on this occasion.
DR.. Hughes gave an able sermon on
the text found in Matthew xviii: 20,
There am l in the midst of them
His subdued, pleasing manner of de-
livery, his charming diction and many
fitting illustrations made his address
one of great interest. The deep and
sincere spirituality of his thought gave
additional effect to the mornings dis

WHAT ABOUT MACHINERY
The Meeting Last Night iu Working
mems Hall Considered Matter from
Laborer's Point OF View.

The regular Sunday evening meet
ing for discussing questions concerning
the general welefare of the country
was held in Workingmen's hall last
night. The subject of last Sunday, rs
Machinery a Benefit to Workmen?' was
continued and presented by Mr.. A.
Langerlield in a matter of fact manner.
He quoted the following poetical de-
scripuon of the present state of af-
fairs which was received with much
applause by the audience.
There's an overproductfon of cotton,
An overproduction of corn;
Too much of everything is grown;
Too many people born;
a surplus yield of wheat and bread,
OF potatoes, oats and rye,
Hogs and hominy, ham and eggs,
And homemade pumpkin pie;
But too little money to buy.
Too much to eat, too much to wear,
And cattle on too many hills;
Too many agricultural tools,
Too many scIapers, plOughs anu drills.
There's surplus now of clothing
OF every grade and kind.
Too many books and papers
And too much thought and mind;
But with little money of my kind.
Too many men to do the work,
Too many women to weep;
More daylight than the people need,
And too much night for sleep;
OF benefits a surplus,
An oversupply of girls;
Too many birds and blossoms,
More bees than there are hives;
But no money to make girls wives.
More sunshine and more shadow
Than is needed for the dell;
An overproduction OF gravestoncs,
More coftins than we can sell:
An overproduction Of ignorance,
More children than there's schools;
Too many poor, too many rich,
And lots too many fools
Who act as moneys tools
NJ. j. Coleman spoke of the neces-
sity for a general organization with
a plain and practical platform on
which all truly patriotic men can unite
to remedy the present unsatisfactory
condition of the country. John Goebel
was the next speaker and illustrated
the results of the Introduction Of labor
saving machinery by quoting instances
which show that in some trades 40
per cent of the men formerly needed
ere now out of work and can not go
at other trades or work because in
every line there are now more men
than wanted.
Pen Castles eX-factory inspector.
then gave a number of his experiences
and complained that workingmcn often

laws have been made to secure them.
John Gray, called attention to the rea :
son wage workers do not demand the
enforcement of law, saying that it Is
because they have learned that if they
do they are discharged.
The subject for next Sunday even
ing will be, What Does Henry George

MET DEATH ON
AN ASH DUMP
John Kupsick's Body Was Found with
Life Extinct.
GASES KILL A RUSSIAN POLE
low and Probably Laid Down to
Hest--Arms and Legs Were Burned.
Coroner Longstreet Sees the Body
and Decides an Inquest Unneces-
sary--The Remains Were Taken to
kupsick's Home.

The deadly gases which arise from
the huge ash dumps in the vicinity of
the mines, caused another death dur
ing Saturday night or early yesterday
morning. The victim was John Kup-
sick, a Russian Pole, of 430 Laurel
street
Kupsick met his death on the ash
dump of the Cayuga breaker. His body
was found lying in one OF the several
depressions caused by the sinking of
the ashes beneath the track. which
runs along the top of the dump.
James Wethers, employed as a fore
man at the breaker, discovered Kup-
sicks body. He had rolled his coat
into a bundle and used it for pillow.
There were no evidences of violence
about the body or the scene and the
supposition is that Kupsick was either
intoxicated or weary, and lay down to
sleep in the spot which proved his
death-bed. The dump lies in what
would be a short cut between Provi-
denCe and the mans home
The arms and legs of the body were
quite badly burned. After the discov-
cry by Foreman Wethers the body was
left i'm charge of Patrolman Thomas
Thomas until the arrival of Coroner
Longstreet, who decided an inquest un-
necessary.
1t was not until late in the day that
kupsick's identity was learned. He
was a laborer in the Cayuga mine. but
was probably ignorant of the fatal
dump gas as he has been but seven
months in this country. He has been
married two years but had no chill
dren.
Undertaken Jones took charge of the
remains and prepared them for burial.
Last night they were removed TO Kup-
sicll's home

BUNCoERs ABROAD BEWARE

1t is the trick of the Organized De-
mocracy this fall to make false
charges against Republican methods,
raise big dust, hire Republican mall
contents to organize Republican bolts
and then coax individual Republicans
to desert their party on the represen-
tation that party ties needn't count
for anything in an off year" by this
trick, if it shall work, the Bryanites
will get foothoid for a hopeful fight
in national campaigns, and make just
so much more trouble for Mckinley,
the Republican congress and the cause
of sound money.
You now see through this trick. Are
you going to let it work?
