1T CAUSED AN ALARM.
The Chimney Fiue Was Damp and
Did Not Draw Well.

An alarm was sent in from box No.
is at $50 last evening, and responded
to by the Chemicals. Crystals and Nay
Augs. Their services were, however,
not required, as the smoke which had
been seen issuing from F. c. Dimler's
tarber shop, on Lackawanna avenue,
was owing to the .flue not carrying it
out of the stove.
The shop is below the sidewalk level,
and beneath McGarrah & Thomas drug
store, and there was much excitement
for some moments. The utility boy
had been attempting to start a fire
In tho store and the smoke had all come
lack into the room.
1u responding the Chemicals mar
rowly escaped a wreck at the Lacka-
wanna avenue bridge. The asphalt at
the end of the bridge is very damp
and slippery and in rounding the turn
at that point one OF the grays went
down and slid nearly across the street.
Good horsemanship and a well-trained
horse happily prevented anything Sc
rious, and the company came on to the
fire with scarcely any loss of time.

DIR. PEARCE PREACHED.
Former Elm Park Pastor Greeted by a
Large Number of His Old
Pensioners.

A large congregation greeted Rev. DR..
W. II. Pearce, of the First Methodist
church, Wilkes Barre, as he occupied
his old pulpit at Elm Park yesterday.
His morning subject was from the text
Hebrews. 1925: "Esteeming the re-
proach of Christ greater riches than
the treasures in Egypt, for he had re-
spect unto the recompense and the re-
ward"
The sermon was a series of lessons
drawn from the life of Moses, his aban-
donment of luxury and assumption of
responsibility that led him through diff
ficulties and suffering and his won-
derful endurance because of the vision
ever in his mind of the future of his
race. Moses by his military prowess,
his executive ability, his moral balance
and many other attributes, Dr. Pearce
remarked, was about the largest speci-
men of man ever made in the image
of God.
When he found out, we know not
how, the story of his life and when he
realized that the swarthy Hebrews
working in the sun moulding bricks
beneath the oppression of a cruel task
master were his kinsmen, he hesitated
not to yield his place in the luxuries
of Pharaoh's court and go forth to their
rescue. Many brave men and great
leaders bent their energies to the eman-
cipation of the southern slaves, but
this one man single handed took upon
himself the task of liberating a nation
and accomplished the mighty deeds
that causes him to stand in the fore
most place of earth.
UNIVERSAL LIBERTY.
Where do we find an explanation of
this one mans power and endurance ?
IT is because he saw through the years
the dream of universal liberty, the rec
ompense and reward, and endured the
weary marches through the wilderness
because the hope of that landscape fair
and fruitful that lay beyond, endured
the tremendous care and responsibility
because of the triumph at the end.
There have been, remarked DR..
Pearce, many who saw beyond the
present a vision of the future and its
recompense. Socrates, Savonarola, John
Huss, Luther John Brown, Cyrus Field,
Livingstone with a large outlook saw
the reward to come after the martyr
dom, the toll, the tears and discourage
ments. We who seek something from
the great work of life should look afar
and beyond the dearth, the penury of
today and see the years of abundance
to come.
We shall be messengers of Joy, watch
ing for the time when swords are
beaten into plow shares. when the last
war cloud shall roll away, leaving the
| sunshine of perpetual peace and broth
erhood.
Looking at the church in a larger
way as something more than an ordi-
nary association, something better than
a confederation of persons. but a living
body containing the mystical pulse OF
Jesus, we shall work for the church OF
the future, not in a selfish, penurious
half-hearted way, but with a wide COM
| prehension OUTLYING the life that now
is to something enduring, eternal.

From Florida.

Editors Intelligeneer: So much has
been said and written about Florida, tine
land Of love and orange blossoms is
beautiful scenery and delightful climate,
that a word from my pen would seem
futile. However, I will give q few briefs
of Santa Rosa County. 1t lies between the
Alabama line and Gulf of Mexico, and is
she second county from the western border
OF the State. It has within it's borders
East and Black water Bays and large por-
lions OF Eacambia and Pensacola Bays,
with q salt water coast of over 200 miles.
There ia some lovely scenery along the
coast OF Escambia and Pensacola Bays and
Escambie River. which empties into
Escambia Bay. On this river, near Nc.
David, Fla, il one of the finest mineral
Springs t., De found. I am most sure 1t is
the "ioun:ain of youth," for which Ponce
'deleon was searching. There's plenty OF
fish in the lakes near by, and the spring is
quite a plen ant resort III summer. There
are any number OF lax Cd and rivers in the
county, ALL they TEEN with fish. Game
is not so pi. utiful as it once was, but there
are still deer and turkey, plenty Of small
game, and, occasionally, q bear. So hunt
ing and fishing can be enjoyed by all who
care for the sport. This is fine farming
land. The soil Is very fertile and corr,
cane, rice, potatoes aud ell kind of vegeta-
bles are grown without much trouble, and
within a few years cotton and tobacco will
be grown to O great extent. Any one with
little money and lots of energy can do well
and "live at home" in Santa Rosa County.
On trial the land will be found the home
of the grape and peach, and for q while
pears did well, and dotted here and there
throughout the County were large or
chards. But blight has impaired them to
q considerable extent, and the pear will
aoon be a thing of the past The Kelsy
plum and japan persimmon and other
fruit will thrive here. Tho fig is grown
readily and rapidly from cuttings, and will
bear the second year. The pine, cypress,
oak, sweet gum, and other varieties oftim
Der are found within the borders Of the
County, and the principal industry is the
logging and timber business, but the peo-
pie are turning their attention to farming
more so than formerly. This ia a very
progressive people aud want to keep up
with the procession. There are good
sc%hoolhouses and churches throughout The
County, and health is fine.
But If I don't wind up this effusion it
will find 81 rsting place in the waste
basket" FLoRIDIAN.

Suggestion to Check Lynchlng.

To the Editor of the State: The fire.
uuency Of lynching is a matter for grave
concern. Its reckless disregard OF law
and it's demoralizing tendency must
awaken serious apprehension inthe mind
o fevery thoughtful man. The law delay
Is no doubt d cause Of lynching. The
recent lynching in the county of Laurens
Is a case in point. At the time Of the
offense the regular term Of court was in
session. The offender wal captured and
turned over to the officers Of the law
under the impression that q speedy trial
would be had. Unfortunately the grand
jury had been dismissed and, under the
existing provisions of the law, the case
could not be heard until the next regular
term OF court. The aggrieved and In
censed citizens were In no humor for
delay and they proceeded to lynch the
offender. There ought to be q remedy
for this delay and we submit the follow
ing suggestion for the consideration OF
our legislators:
Let the general assembly provide by
law for the holding of special terms OF
court for the immediate trial of cases OF
q certain nature as they arise. The power
ofcalling the special term might be lodged
with the governor, hedged about with
such conditions as the legislature in Its
wisdom might see proper to impose. The
Judge OF the circuit should preside, or !!
he be engaged, the governor, as provided
in section six, article five Of the Consti:
tuition, Gan appoint some man "learned
in the Inv" to preside. The law should
provide for the Immediate %summoning Of
the grand jury and the trial jury of the
preceding regular term should be required
to serve. The further details will readily
present themselves to the Legislative
mind. LEX.
