WHY MEN DON'T GO TO CHURCH
There Are Potent Reasons, Some of
Which DO Not Speak Well for the
Churches.

From the New York Times.
A correspondent of the Hartford
Times, in referring to the reason for
the non-attendance at religious SER
vices in that city-which a well-in-
formeed statistician puts at $4,000 in
total population of 53,000-says the
chief cause is the inability of the poor
to dress suitably for a visit to the
churches. There seems to be very
much of truth in this. and pastors of
churches in this city and Brooklyn
alike have all too frequently heard the
same reason advanced by persons
whom they have visited and invited to
their services. A well-dressed person
whose purse strings are loosely drawn
finds himself most cordially welcomed
and escorted to q front seat in the
edifice. But to the man or woman
who seeks a church home wearing
clothing that is not of the latest cut,
there is too apt to be q cold shoulder
turned by the ushers and looks of
contempt from fashionably dressed fell
low-WOrshippers. This is a condition
that exists not only in the fashion
able" sanctuaries, but in those where
social distinctions are not supposed to
be made so much Of. Ministers and
rectors may try faithfully and earnest
ly to break down barriers, but they can
make little, if any, headway in the
work, and all acknowledge their ina
bility to recreate any of the old feeling
of fellowship that once drew strangers
in cities to church congregations, not
only to enable them to ind congenial
acquaintances, but communistic wor-
ship according to the faith in which
they had been brought up in their
homes. 1t is the clannishness of
church-goers against the man not sty-
lishly dressed ard the woman who
does not flaunt sealskins and diamonds
that prevents the success of any evan
gelistic movement in great cities, and
that thus drives thousands into the
arid plains of ali irreligious life.

MAY RESPITE TERRIBLE PETE.
An Eleventh. Hour Accusation by a
Condemned Murderer.


Wilkes Barre. July 1S.--"Terrible
Pete" Wassl. who is to be hanged next
Thursday, made confession yester-
day afternoon, stating that Frank
Sockalofski killed Kupersavage, Of
whose murder Wassil was convicted.
Wassil's attorney, Mr.. Ward, Will
leave Monday for Harrisburg to ask
Governor Hastings for a respite.
Wassil says in his confession that his
brother n-law Frank Sockalofski, fired
the fatal shot through the window. He
says that the men had been quarrel
inE in saloon. During the trouble
Sockalofski was beaten, and in a rage
he ran home and procured a revolver.
He returned as the disturbance ceased
and fired the fatal shot.
Wassil denied all knowledge of the
crime at the time of the trial and pro-
tested that he was in bed at his home
at Diamond Patch, when the murder
was committed. He now says he was
present at the shooting, but told the
other story to save his brother-in- law.
IIe has changed his mind since then
and does not propose to sacrifice his
life for a crime committed by another.
Peter says that the gang promised to
liherate him If he would not tell on the
culprit and the unsuccessful attempt
to effect his escape lends color to his
story.
Frank SCckalofsk was arrested with
Terrible Pete" at the time the crime
was committed and spent several
months in Jail on a charge of being
Peters accomplice in the murder.
When Wassil was tried witness swore
he was the guilty party and the COM
monwealth made such a strong case
against him that the case against
Sockalofski was nolle pressed and he
was liberated
Sockalofski is in Jail on a charge Of
theft. He denies that he shot Kuper-
savage.

BURGLAR SHOT.
william Gallagher Captured While
Burglarizing the Delaware and
Hudson Depot at Lanesboro--Ofii-
Ger Aovelacc the Hero of the Occa-

sion.
SusQuehanna, July 1S.-Lanesboro
was thrown into a state of excitement
Friday night by the capture, through
the bravery of officer Miles A. Love
lace, assisted by Arthur Buckley, of
William Gallagher, a physical giant
guilty Of burglarzing the d. & H. de-
pot.
Between one and two o'clock, as the
Transcript tells the story. Albert b.
Fritchley, watChman at the tannery,
discovered Gallagher and a pal in
the act of entering the depot Of Che
l.. Il II. railroad located near the Star
rucca viaduct. Entrance was effected
by raising q window and opening the
inside blinds. About this time a pass
ing train caused Gallagher to secrete
himself behind the station for short
time. After all was clear, as Cal
lagher supposed, he entered the depot
and proceeded to fill a large bag with
what might strike his fancy.
Gallagher, after completing his "col-
lection" and taking his departure from
the depot, encountered Officer Love-
lace and Arthur Buckley. and a strug-
gle ensued, during which Lovelace
struggle circumstances justifying the
act, officer Lovelace drew his revolver
and fired. The bullet entered Gallagh-
er's neck, lodging in the chest, inhct-
ing a dangerous though not necessar-
lily fatal wound. The wounded bur-
glar was then taken to the borough
lookup, where he is attended by DR..
Miller and is being made as comfor-
table as possible.
The prisoner gives his name as Will
liam Gallagher, aged 32; born in Haw-
ley, Wayne county. Pa. With permis-
sion Of District Attorney w. d. B.
Ainey, of Susquehanna county, the
wounded man will probably be taken to
a hospital in CarbOndale for treatment
until able. in the event of recovery
from his injuries. to be committed to
the county Jail in Montrose to await
action of the grand jury.
1t is thought by Fritchley that Gal
lagher had an associate in the crime,
but the latter disappeared before the
scuflle which resulted in the capture
of Gallagher.
