PARSONAGE DEDICATED.
Was Formally Accepted by the Congre.
cation Of the German Presbyterian
Church Yesterday Afternoon.

The dedicatory services by which the
congregation of the Independent Ger
man Presbyterian church, of Chestnut
street, formally accepted their recently
erected parsonage, marked an epoch in
the church's history.
Last year the question of building a
parsonage was considered and 1t was
decided to do so. Plans were submit
ted and accepted. The plot of ground
lying Immediately in the rear of the
church and facing on Farview avenue
was purchased at cost of So, 700. The
dwelling houses thereon were torn
down and building operations COM
menced forthwith. The dedication yes
terday was the result of much self
denial and indefatigable effort on the
part of the officials and congregation
OF the church. They were also materi-
ally assisted by outside friends, which
they deeply appreciate.
The building itself is very pretty ar
chitecturally and was constructed with
a view of it's necessities. Frank Mich
ter, drafting engineer of the Delaware.
Lackawanna and Western company
and a member OF the church, drew the
plans, which were carried out by Con-
tractor Dickman. The house contains
nine rooms and large reception hall
and all modern improvements. The
total cost was Sl,70O Rev. Jacob
Schoettle, pastor of the church. will
remove his family from their present
residence some time during this week
to the parsonage. 1t will be partly fur
nished by the congregation, but in
course of time they expect to furnish
1t throughout.
The services were opened at $3.50
o'clock by an Introductory address by
Rev. T.. j. Schmidt, pastor of the
Church of Peace, Of South Scranton.
Frank Nichter, architect and treasurer
of the building committee, then for
nAly rendered the key to II. II. Bur-
schell, chairman of the committee, and
Rev. Mr.. Schmidt performed the dedi-
cation. The choir of the Church of
Peace, Professor Saft, organist, sang
an appropriate hymn.
The dedicatory sermon was preached
by Rev. F. e. c. Haas, pastor of St.
Pauls church, of South Scranton. The
speaker was forceful and eloquent. He
referred to their laudable purpose and
the mastery manner in which the pur-
pose had been carried out The choir
of St. Paurs sang a hymn and the
pastor, ReV. JACOB SchOettle gave q
short address, in which he reviewed
the undertaking from its inception to
its completion. The friends who had
assisted were thanked. A financial re-
port of the work of the building COM
mittee was read by Frank Nchter
which indicated that a debt of $4,000
remained standing out of a total cost
of $4,7OO, which covered the whole
undertaking.
The congregation sang and a collec-
tion was taken UP. Chairman Bur-
schell then rendered the key to the
pastor and spoke of the work of the
committee. He returned his apprecia.
tion of the able assistance accorded him
by every member of the committee anc

A young son of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Evans was taken suddenly i'll Satur-
day afternoon. The boy was bitten
about two months ago by a dog which
was supposed to be mad. The parents
called in neighbors who pronounced the
case hydrophobia. A physician was
called in and put an end to their fears
of the dread disease by pronouncing
it a case of sunstroke. AS several per-
sons were bitten by the same dog, the
rumor was a source of much worri-
ment to themselves and friends.

BOYS WILL BE Prosecuted.

The parents of boys residing along
West Linden street and vicinity have
received a statement from General
Manager Silliman, of the Traction
company warning them that unless the
boys are not kept away from the street
cars and their jumping on the same,
steps will be taken by the company
toward that end. This has become
necessary on account of number of
boys ranging in years from to 10,
who make a practice of mounting the
cars all along this street, thus adding
to the danger and making trouble for
the crews of the cars. This policy will
also be followed in other sections where
a similar nuisance exists.

WISE AS AN OWL.

The owl is said to be the wisest of birds
because he keeps both eyes and ears wide
open, says nothing and keeps up good
deal of thinking. When sciatica takes hold
of man, he is wisest who says nothing
but keeps his eyes and ears open for the
best remedy, who thinks and knows it may
result in crippling, and who hnds by trial
that st. Jacobs Oil is the best known rem
edy for its treatment and permanent cure.
lk,penetrates to the seat of the eXcrutiating
PIN, soothes and cures it, and prevents
whats ~sonletim"s happens--the use of the
surgeons knife to get rid of the torment
The owl thinks and then acts quickly, and
the sciatica sufferer should act promptly to
arrest the progress of the disease and to re-
store the nerve by the use of st. Jacobs
Oil to its natural condition.

Shot Ahead of Armor Again.

Only few years ago a process was
discovered by means Of which the ar
NOR plates Of war ships could be so
hardened on the face that the best pro-
jectiles were shattered on striking
them. This was regarded as decisive
victory for armor over guns. Recently.
however, the tables have been turned
once more. The first step, according
to the Scientific American, was the
placing of cap of soft steel on the
point of the projectile. This enabled
the shot to penetrate the armor plate
by preventing the breaking of the
point. Then increased velocity was
given to the shot by the use of improved
powder. The result was that six-incb
solid shot was sent through ten inches
Of face-hardened steel. twelve inches of
oak-backing and three additional
plates, each seven-sixteenths of an
inch thick, after which the shot prac-
tically unimpaired, buried itself eight
feet in bank of sand. The expert
ments were made in this country, and
both the best armor and the best shots
are Of American invention.
