THAT FIREMEN'S FUND.
Greater Part of il viii Go TO the
Cities OF the State-TOtaI
Amount.

The 2 per cent. tax on gross premi-
ums of foreign fire insurance companies
doing business in PENNSYLVANIA is
about to be levied. The act of 1895
provides that one-half of this tax shall
be divided among the cities and bor-
oughs of the state to be applied for the
benefit of injured and disabled firemen.
Insurance Commissioner Lambert, at
Harrisburg, prepared for the foreign
insurance companies doing business,
list OF all the cities and boroughs in the
state in order that the companies might
state the amount of premiums collect
ed in each city and borough.
These lists were sent to the comaa-
nies some time ago and many have al
ready been returned. These show how
much money is received from premi-
ums in each city and town, and on the
amount per cent. tax is assessed. One
half of this tax is returned by the
auditor general to the city or town
from which it is collected, and the mu-
nicipal corporation can do with it what
it pleases. There is nothing in the law
to compel the municipal authorities to
establish a tiremen's beneficial fund.
1t was supposed that great sum of
llioitS "Oulb De ItdllZtu Dy tnlS law,
but it found that the gross amount will
be about $4,000. There are over 700
cities and towns in the state that ex-
pect to be benefited and $75 900 will
be divided among them according to
the amount of premiums paid in each
by the foreign insurance companies.
Some of the towns are going to be
very much disappointed The bulk of
the foreign fire insurance company
business is done in Philadelphia Pitts
burg, Erie, Harrisburg, Williamsport
Scranton, Reading and Wilkes Barre
and as a consequence when the money
is divided these larger cities will get
the bulk of 1t because the business was
done there. The smaller cities and
towns where not so much business is
done will, of course, get but a small
share of the tax.
In the smaller towns there is not
such great need for a fremen's bene-
fcial fund as the number of men in
jured in lighting fires is much smaller
than in the cities where buildings are
larger and higher and fire fighting con-
sequently attended by greater danger.

ORIGIN AND END OF MAN,
Sermon by Rev. w. =. O'Donnell
to a Large COngresation.

a congregation composed entirely of
men, filing the auditorium and gallery
of the spacious cathedral, heard Rev.
w. p. O'Donnell of Holy Rosary
church, deliver a most eloquent and
impressive sermon last night as the
first of series of special Lenten dis
courses for the men of the cathedral
parish.
He took as his text, "Now this is
eternal life, to know Thee the only true
God, and Jesus Christ, whom Thou
hast sent His theme was the origin
and end of man, and his argument was
that God created US and for purpose,
hence that purpose the honoring of God
in this world and the enjoyment of
communion with Him in the next
should be ever kept foremost in the
Christian mind
Next Sunday evening Rev. Father
McCabe, of Avoca, will preach on
Hell" Wednesday evenings there will
be special sermons for women, the first
of which will be delivered by Rev. Fa-
ther Feeley, of the cathedral. Each
Friday afternoon at o'clock during
Lent there will be a special sermon for
school children.

Rev. ]. b. Sweet preached a special
sermon last evening to a delegation
from Globe lodge of odd Fellows at
the Simpson Methodist Episcopal
church. The large auditorium of the
church was filled, the aisles being util-
lied in an attempt to accommodate the
throng that sought admittance. After
short song service Mr.. Sweet an
nounced his text: Genesis, xiii 8, For
we be brethren"
The Introduction was a brief sketch
of the relation sustained by Abraham
and Lot and the reason for the utter
ance of the words of the text, following
which Mr.. Sweet said:
All advancement of the human race
has been because of brotherhood and the
recognition of fraternal rights. All true
brotherhood has been revealed unto men
by Divine Truth and Divine Manifesto
tons of self 1t has only been as we have
Coinprehended, according to our measure
of ability, the revelation of God, that
brotherhood has been developed and dem-
Onstrated.
The term "brother' is not a restricted
term horizoned with the lines of the home
circle; true, a brother may be of the
same parentage with ourselves. but again
a brother may know no ties of blood and
yet in thought, word and deed far sur
pass to us the one to the home-born.

TWO GATES, TWO WAYS
Topic That Rev. DR.. James Mcleod
Spoke on in the First Church
Yesterday Morning.

Rev. DR.. James McLeod's Lenten
sermon yesterday morning on the
topic Two Gates and Two Ways"
was heard by a large congregation
The texts were:
Enter We in at the strait gate, for wide
is the gate and broad is the way that
leadeth to destruction, and many there
be which go in thereat because strait
Is the gate and marrow is the way that
leadeth unto life, and few there be that
find it," "Strive to enter in at the strait
gate, for many, l say unto you, will
seek to enter in, and shall not be able
Matt. vii, 13, IA; Luke, xiii, g.
"The Sermon on the Mount" said DR..
Mcleod, will never grow old. The
Christian study of nineteen centuries has
not sounded all its depths, nor exhaust
ed all its meaning. The Christian life of
nineteen centuries has not reached the
perfection of its holy precepts. 1t Will
continue, until the end of time, to the
Sermon of Sermons, even as its Preacher
will continue to be the Preacher Of
preachers. 1t will never cease to be pro-
fitable for doctrine, for reproof, for cor
reCtion, for instruction in righteousness.
These words of Jesus are sufficiently star
Ting. A hasty glance at them is very
dscouraging. The broad way to destruc-
ton is crowded! The narrow way to life
is found only by a fewr'
DR.. Mcleod then proceeded to show
that more than a comparatively few will
be saved; that the number will not be
less than the number lost: that Christs
words applied to the period of his earth
ly ministry. Christ Himself is the wicket
gate. In lis person, by His work, by His
doing and dying. He has opened the
way to the holiest of all holes. The way,
though, is not found without difficulties,
a.. 49,,
unwillingness to be saved Concerning
this struggle, DR.. Mcleod said:
This opens up the question which has,
for centuries, been the occasion of a
great theological debate. Is salvation OBJ
tained by faith alone, or by works?With-
out attempting to state, much less to de-
bate that question, let me say that 1t is
well to keep in mind the two views Of
truth which are implied in the text and
which are more plainly and fully stated
in other Scriptures. From one point Of
view, salvation is easy. 1t is obtained
by giving our believing, loving. penitent
look to the Almighty Savior. This is a
good truth-Believe in the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved There
is human as well as Divine side to the
truths of the Gospel Work out your
own salvation with fear and trembling
Strive to enter in at the strait gate.
"The way to heaven is not smooth
and level plain, nor is 1t a lovely upland
park, where the flowers are always IN
bloom and where the birds are always
singing and where the roads are always
clear, and where the scenery is always
charming and where there are no diff
culties to overcome and no dangers to
avoid. No; Jesus Christ tells us differ
ent story and some of us know by ex-
perience, that His words are true. The

PITTSTON MEN IN LUCK.
Seven Foot Vein of Coal Has Been
Struck Near ShamOkin.

A new vein has been found at the
Girard colliery, near Shamokn, and
John b. Law, of this city, the general
manager, and Alexander Law, who is
superintendent, are congratuating
themselves on the good fortune at
tending their work. The vein is a
seVen-footer and has been tapped at
the base, and indications point to a
supply that will last for years.
Four months ago men started a tun-
mel in the second lift, No. 2 slope, and
after 250 feet had been driven the work
was abandoned. Another attempt to
locate the vein was made by driving
a hole on the face of the tunnel, and
after forty feet had been sunk there
were signs of coal. Then the tunnel
was driven u few feet with the above
result.-Pittston Item.

They had gathered mp their fast load and Mrs. Kinsey was out of the door when her husband called to her that he could not find his way out. She started to his assistance, but the roof fell in before she could reach him. In their fruitless efforts to rescue him from the roaring flames Mrs. Kinsey and her son were painfully burned.
