REV. HUGH K. WALKER
Arrived Yesterday-Will Preach at
Emmanuel Church Tomorrow

The congregation of Emmanuel church
turned out in force yesterday afternoon
to meet the Sunset limited train bearing
TO his new home the Rev. Hugh X.
Walker, their new pastor. A large part
of the church session, members of the
board of trustees and many private
members of the church were present
and extended most cordial welcome to
Mr.. Walker, who comes from the city
of Baltimore. He will preach, both
morning and evening, tomorrow at I'm
manuel church.
Mr. John Shirley Ward, one of the
elders of this church, has this to say of
Mr. Walker:
REV. Hugh K. Walker comes as al
most a perfect stranger, personally, to
every member of the church. He is a
young man, scarcely 36 years of age
Born in East Tennessee, he was edu-
Gated at the University of Knoxville
After completing his university course
he spent three years at the theological
seminery at Auburn, n. Y. where he
graduated in 1887. East Tennessee is
not a center of education or thought. yet
| it has given to the world many of the
ablest men Of the nation.
st. Paul was never considered BOAST
er, yet he did boast of his ancestry. He
was proud to be "a Hebrew of the
Hebrews" This was a commendable
pride. But Mr.. Walker, while he makes
no boast of it, can point, on his paternal
| line, to the Rev Mr. Rutherford, dele
gate from the Church of Scotland to the
Westminster assembly at London in
1643, and on his mothers side to the Rev.
Joseph Rhea, who preached the first
Presbyterian sermon, in East Tenn
essee, while it was yet part of North
Carolina. From this Grandfather Rhea
there have descended fifteen Presby-
terian preachers, two Of whom are Mr..
Walker and brother.
'Dr. Chichesters great success here
makes his place q hard one to fill, yet
the Emmanuel people feel that Mr..
Walker will wear worthily the stainless
mantle of their former pastor. Every
body will be glad to welcome Mr.. Walker
and Emmanuel church will be crowded
to hear his first sermon"

Ruins of an Unknown City Many Centu-
ries Old Discnynred

The ruins of an ancient city many centu-
ries old, inhabited by race whose name
and origin has no record in the annals of
history, has been discovered in Guatema-
la. The shape Of the drinking and cooking
utensils found in the structures composing
what was evidently the residence portion
OF the city. and the chalices and other sa-
cred vessels in the temples and fanes are
entirely devoid of the characteristics of
Aztec and Toltec antiquity. But however
they may vary in these particulars from
other ancient articles, they bear general
resemblance to the effects Of Hostetter's
stomach Bitters, inasmuch as they have
well served the purpose for which they were
made. The ineffectiveness of the ancient

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
IAN Hour With the Stars" by B. r.
Baumgardt

The usual large audience was present
yesterday at the Friday Morning clut
meeting, when b. r. Baumgardt gave 6
scholarly and instructive lecture which
he called AN Hour with the Stars" The
lecture was Illustrated with fifty stere
opticon views, all of which were inter
esting and some were very rare; an
the speaker was followed with close and
ppreoiative attention throughout.
In introducing his subject Mr.. Baum
gardt gave a general description of th'
heavens. and referred to the impressio.
that a starlit night produces upon anN
one with a contemplative mind. Mex
he spoke of the moon in its various
phases, and pictures of its rugged con-
tours. mountain chains, peaks. ram
parts and craters, its driedup ocea
beds and shadows of mountains werl
thrown upon the screen.
Several views were shown of the plan
eft Mars, with its immense system OF
suppostitious canals and on these the
speaker dwelt in detail, presenting hi:
speculation and those of Schapirelli
Lowell, Flammarion and others regard
ing their artificial origin.
An excellent view was shown of the
planet Jupiter, taken from a photograph
taken by Prof. Barnard with the 36-inch
mammoth refractor at Mount Hamilton
Several views of telescope comets were
shown, and various hypothesis as to
what comets are We're presented.
From the solar system Mr.. Baum
gardt passed to the sideral universe,
showing star clusters and nebulae of
great interest. A spiral nebula in CAMS
Venatici, the ring nebula In Lyra, sew
eral views of the queen of nebula In
Andromeda and five different exposures
of the great nebula in Orion all proved
extremely interesting.
Clusters with stars so closely packed
that they defied all attempts at calcula-
ton We're thrown upon the screen In
rapid succession. Regions of the constel-
!ation Cygni, with over three hundred
thousand suns, each with retinue of
planets and satellites, and all within the
space of three or four square degrees,
defied all attempts at explanation.
In concluding Mr.. Baumgardt charged
his audience to sometimes lay aside the
cares of business and the pursuits OF
the everyday theater of their lives and
to devote some time to the study of as
tronomy. which would enable them tc
appreciate intelligently the things which
are taught by beautiful starlit night.

LURED BY A SIREN
A Section Hand Loses His Money on
Commercial Street

VIII Jones, section hand working
out near San Bernardino, came to town
Thursday to have good time. In the
course of his meanderlngs about the
streets he ran across siren who lured
him to her room on Commercial street.
Jones visited several saloons in company
with the woman, and imagined that he
was having the best kind of time. It
was only yesterday morning that he
realized how bad he really felt when he
discovered that the 500 which jingled in
his pockets on his arrival here had mys-
teriously disappeared. The result was
warrant sworn out for the arrest of
Frankie Gardiner.
The woman was taken before Justice
Morrison yesterday afternoon, but when
the case was called 1t was stated that
Jones had concluded not to prosecute
and had gone back to San Bernardino
The case was dismissed.

Nearing the End.
OUTBREAKS ARE SUBDUED

LABOR TROUBLES ELSEWHERE.

Hazleton, Pa. Sept 2l.-Unless un-
foreseen developments occur the an
thracite coal strike IN this region is
Tnded. Yesterday 1900 men, half Of the
full equipment, returned TO work a the
Honey Brook collieries OF the Luhigh ana
Wilkesbarre company, as did 800 of the
1900 at Pardees Lattimer mines, while
the Cranberry. Crystal Ridge and Har-
wood collieries OF the same company and
Coxe's collieries in the Drlfton district
remained at work. The latter were to
have settled the question OF strike yes
terday, but at the request Of thu opcr-
ators they held off until next Thursday.
Nearly 5000 strikers have returned or
will do so today. ans little less than that
number are SIN out, with indications
in favor OF their joining the workers
The only incidents OF yesterday were
small outbreaks at Lattmer and Eckley,
both of which were quickly subdued,
and the serving Of warrants Of arrest
upon Sheriff Martin and number Of
lis deputies. At Lattiner. bands Of
women attempted 10 drive out 300 Ital-
ians who returned To work. They were
armed with clubs and stones, and moved
on the engine house and company's
stores. The raid looked forbidding for
a time and was not ended until three
companies OF the Thirteenth regiment,
with fxet bayoncts had pressed back
and Dispersed the crowds. A number
Of Builder valley miners, who wanted
10 return 10 work at Lattimcr. were
driven back by body OF armed strikers,
who met them % they came over the
mountain. a mile or more from camp.
The disturbance at ECkley was an al
tempt by the strikers 10 intimidate the
men who wanted 20 work, and IL. too. was
quieted by the troops without violence.
The break OF the strike is practically
"A victory for te operators; in only one
or two Instances have the demands OF
the men been granted. although several
companies have promised to consider
the grievances.
The warrants for the arrest OF Sheriff
Martin and his deputies were issued by
Judges Lynch and Bennett at wilkes
barre. They were served last night
and no resistance was made. The writs
contain Is names. including the sheriff,
