quiet and was taken away
Trouble began very early IN Jaa even

oil night fell, and his parents, assisted by
a score OF friends, tied him 70 his bed.
The news that an insane man was in
the building did not soothe the hystericaI
tenants To sleep Up stairs on the top
floor l-y Persky, SO quiet that his mother
said:
What's the use OF keeping the poor
10y tied up? He viii be good now
SO they cut the ropes and wera sur

the carving Knife from the hand that had
released him and shouted;

locked in by mistake a few nights ago,
and when the other employees arrived next
morning he said he had been chased by

had defended himself with a Sledge-
hammer.
When Persky fIouriShed his knife before
his family there was scattering. He ran

than usual.

the street.
Persky made thorough canvass of the
house and soon had it all to himself

they heard him coming, and the men were
not far behind.
| Then few bold ones. seeing that Psrssy

him upstairs, his parents promising that
they would not let him loose again.

did not stay there long. Two hours after

The Rev. A. w. Filter, pastor OF Central
Presbyterian Church, preached sermon
last evening IN predcstination TO u large
congregation. DR.. Pitzcr took iis text
from the Epistles to the Ephesians; Be-
ing predestinated according to the purpose
Of Him who worketh all things
All are willing, the reverend speaker
said, To discuss predestination, the young
and old, the learned and ignorant. All
alike are willing TO pass upon it, but who
understands it. Thousands who never
read a chapter of Scripture or a verse OF
the Psalms, viii discuss it and hazard
an opinion but there it ends. Predestina-
tion, DR.. Pitzer said, is not what this or
that man may define it TO be: not even
what theologians may call it. Predcs-
tination, he said belongs to God SO who
else can tell what it is. The grand uni
verse created and ruled by God was not
made in par IS aud TO be changed for the
accommodation of circumstances; it was
created according 10 Isis divine wisdom

teau scientists lave demonstrated it is
that not an atom of matter ever was or

If at times we cannot harlnOniZc facts
that is no reason, said DR.. Pitzer, that
they are not true. Each of us must de
termine for ourselves whether we Will
acrept Gods word as a final settlement
and stand by it. II mas been Questioned,

The answer is plain and simple, No; for

of wheat. The substantial part of the

PRIESHLY PEACE COUNSELS
Effective Clerical Advice to the
Miners at HazIetOn.
4 Quiet sunday Passed by the Strik-
ers in the District Under
Martial Law.

Hazleton, Pa. Sept. 1 19.-Dunken brawIs,
often resulting in a murder, usually mark
The Sundays Succeeding pay-days among
the foreign element in the mining patches
surrounding Hazleton, but today passed
without a serious disturbance of any kind,
despite the happenings Of the past fort
night.
The customary Sabbath peace ana quiet
prevailed in the city itself, and the at
tendance at all the churches was large.
Huns Poles and Italians crowded all the
ma sses, as IL was expected that the priests
would refer I'm some way to the pencing
Troubles. Several OF them did so, coun-
selling their hearers to keep the peace;
to commit no acts which might bring
them in conflict with the law, and to
await tie legal inquiry into the killing a {
Latimev with confidence that justice would
be cone.
The outlook for an early settlement OF
the strike is steadily improving. a pow
erfm factor to bring about such result is
the Catholic clergy Of this re gion. The
priest of the Italian church here in to-
days sermon not alone urged his parish
ioners TO Keep the peace in every way, but
also TO get back TO work tomorrow. He
told there that he felt sure that if the men
went quietly to ~oTk the operators would
grant all their reasonable demands.
As the priest mentioned wields power.
fI influence among his countryInen. 1t is
more than likely that the viii follow his
advice. The emaoyes Of the Lehigh and
Wikesbarre Coal oflI any held meeting
in Audenreid this afternoon and deter
mined t. 60 back to work tomorrow on the
basis Of the 10 per cent increase offered by
the company. AS Audenreid is the keynote
of the situation, the strikers in the other
mines win in all likelihood follow the ex.
