county Jail Saturday night by Con-
stable Tim Jones, of the Fifth ward,
and committed on a bail piece. Mr..
Price is defendant in a case of larceny

man until Saturday morning., when he
arrested him IL his room in his huard-
ing house,
Even then the valiant constable did
rot come away without rurninr con-
siderable risk. Price wanted to sign
over his pay to his boarding mistress
before leaving. While he was engaged
in doing this, under the watchful eye
of the constable, the husband of the
boarding mistress appeared upon the
scene and objected to the removal of
any bOarder. He backed his objection
by displaying a revolver. \ son took
the revolver away, but the irate man
succeeded in getting it again and start
ed in to create trouble.

eral mix-up ensued. Constable Jones
was assisted by one-armed local con-
stable and after a little display of their
own shooting irons they got out Of

his refusal rather troublesome. They,
however, ultimately succeeded in land
ing him in the county Jail here.

Members of Congregation Who Died
During the Year.

The service in the Penn Avenue Bap-
tist church last evening was for the
special benefit of young men, as was
the sermon by the pastor, Rev. Dr.
Joseph X. Dixon. The day marked the
close of the Young Mems Christian
association week of prayer.
DR.. Dixon's sermon topic was THE
Judgments of Earth" which was
based on the text For ] have not
found thy works perfect before God"
Revelations, iii:2. He contrasted mans
care in judging man in religion, busi-
ness and all else and his Indifference
in needing Gods judgment. The dead
letter office is a standing judgment on
mans chirography, and Dunn's pub
lished mercantile reports are judg-
ment on mans credit. Man Is very
careful to scrupulously surround him
self with safeguards against his COM
mercial and other business and world
ly mssteps, but though careful in
these things he forEets in judging his
fellow-men, that he will sometime
have to stand before the judge of all.
John r. Watkins sang two baritone
solos, "Thy King" as an offertOry, and

of everything; IL regulates the wages
OF brain workers and also of laborers.
There is a system which has lately
been tried and that is general co-opera-
tion. Under that system every work.
er receives an equal share of the pro-
duct of the combined labor of brain
workers and hand-workers, and there
is no depressing Of wages, no periodical

greeted with tremendous applause.
John Gray was the first speaker to

which the whole grain Is fed, and
which grinds It, makes dough and
bakes the bread automatically. Five

ADDRESS ON Cn-0PERATION.
Delivered Last Night at the Sunday
Educational Meeting.

DtiiNGlfu IItSl NlSui iN NIc SUNNY
Educational MeetinG.
The Sunday evening educational
meeting at Workmcn's hall, corner AL
der street and Prospect avenue, was
crowded last night The subject was
brain and Muscle" The lecturer be-
gan by describing the great difference
between the present conditions of our
Industrial affairs and those which eX-
listed at the Inauguration Of our pres
ent form of givcrnment. He described
the old method Of making bar iron
i'm a homemade "plant" consisting Of
a small wooden wateT-wheel and a
home made hammer and lifting mech
anism.
Brain workers then gradually made
improvements until now we have i'm
mense mills" like the two in Scran-
ton. The value Of the labor in maxi
ing a bar by the old method was easily
determined because one man did all the
work and the cost OF the plant" was
insignificant as the same man often
also made that, and its cost could
easily be distributed over the work
done while it lasted. But now hun
dreds and even thousands of BRAIN
workers and laborers are employed to
make one simple bar Of iron, and mil
lions Of capital are invested in the
Dlant.
How can the relative value of the
brain work and mere labor be deter
nincd? The lecturer showed that in
vcsted capital is entitled TO be replaced
and returned, but is not entitled to
any increase, because no matter how
much capital is put into anything, it
viii be unproductive If no work is
applied TO it, and therefore the work
Is entitled TO all the increase or pro-
duct. But how shall this product be
divided among those who do brain
work and those who merely labor?
Under the present competitive system
supply and demand regulates the value
