There is nothing mysterious
about the success of our store. 1t
has come easy, naturally. People
have learned to know that we do
save them money on every pair of
shoes they buy. That's the story
in nutshell. That's the reason
the store is always crowded.
That's why you should come also.

RIGHTS OF MAN.

Tho right of the rich man is to get rich,
laudaby, If he can, the right Of the poor
man is to remain poor II he so elects, but
this chasm must not be bridged by STRIKE
Iawlessness and rapine. Jay Gould wan
dered from hamlet to hamlet with pack
of notions on his back, and rose to the
highest opulence. Every man has the
opportunity to be Gould, II he is not, 1t
may be because he is hindered by drink,
idleness, incapacity. Either be a Gould
or be content with poverty.
A man has the right to quit work, but
not the right to control the brain and
hands of other men, neither the right to
compe. capital to do his bidding and en-
ploy whomsoever he elects. ON the other
hand capital must recognize the Golden
Rule and turn its eyes full of tears upon
the enslaved and toiling thousands who
know only the sound of pick and shovel.
OF the horrible anarchy on our own
fair mountain sides these September days
l cannot now speak untii the evidence is
all in, but / lament In tears this cruel
bloodshed, God pity our blindness and
wantonness, our wicked daring all for the
gold that glitters with such scenes in a
civilized community the night shuts in.

ORGANIZATION FORMED.

On the 9th of September 1894, an or
ganization was effected with thirty-two
charter members by Rev. A. N. War
ner, of Northumberland, Pa, secretary
of the Susquehanna synod. The Sab
bath school had been organized in July.
n Ladies Aid society was formed in
September. In October the pastor left
for Gettysburg to resume his studies.
During the winter the mission was
supplied by the pastors Of the Susque-
hanna synod.
In the spring of 1895 the mission was
placed under the care of the board of
home missions, and call was extended
to the present pastor. On the 1st of
June, 1895, the present pastor began his
labor in this field. In July, 1895, the
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor was formed.
The need of a house of worship was
now the pressing problem. In May,
1896, the lot corner Madison avenue and
Mulberry street was purchased for
$4,000. There was a small building, 30x-
20, with an annex, upon the lot. 1t was
once used as a schoolroom, and at
the time of purchasing it, as a dwell

SANBORN'S ADDRESS.


Sanborn, who conducted services for
the congregation while they worshipped
in the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton, would give a short address. Mr..
Sanborn congratulated the congrega-
ton on the achievement of so much
in so short time. He also compli-
mented the splendid music rendered by
ths quartette.
He was followed by Rev. John Davy
who spoke of the spiritual longings of
man and that only God can satisfy
them. He urged that this be remem-
bered as we rejoice over the blessings
of the day.
An opportunity was then given for
those to contribute who desired to do
so. The service closed by singing Joy
to the World the Lord Has Come"
The evening services were a contnu-
alton of the morning services of thanks
giving and praise. A large congrega-
ton filled the building. Two selections
were rendered by the quartette and one
solo.
Short addresses were delivered by
Rev. Thomas Barker and Rev. John
Davy. The congregation sang GLORY
be to God on High" Nearer My God
to Thee" and 80. Could 1 Speak the
Matchless Worth"
This ended day of thanksgiving and
rejoicing for this people and they can
look back with grateful hearts to the
| short but eventful history of the con-
| gregation.
| The history of Grace Evangelical
Lutheran church dates back to June,
1894. The present pastor then a stu
dent at Gettysburg, Pa, was sent to
Scranton to look up the interests of
General Synod" Lutheranism in this
busy center. He reached the city on
the 4th of June, 1894. On the 18th of
June the first services were held, in
the Young Mems Christian Association
rooms, in which place services were
thereafter regularly conducted during
| the summer.

Salt Lake, Feb. S.-Fire last night
destroyed the Scott-Auerbach building,
on Main street, entailing a loss OF
$3.50, 900, a little over half covered by
insurance. Besides the great financial
loss, there were several accidents that
narrowly escaped being fatalities. Elec-
trician Vail, of the fire department,
came in contact with live wire and
fell from the third story window OF the
building, but fortunately came in con-
tact with network of wires, which
broke his fall, and though he dropped
to the pavement with fearful violence,
it was with lessened force. Miss
Smith, roomer in the building, was
rescued by Assistant Chief Donovan
from the roof, whittier she had been
driven by the pursuing smoke.

signed BY THE QUEEN regent
Proposed Cuban Reforms
Receive Sanction.
TO HAVE LIMITED HOME RULE
An Assembly viii Be Created Hav-
ing Certain Powers in Admins
tering the fairs of the Island.

Madrid, Feb. S.-The queen regent
signed plan for reforms in Cuba The
scheme includes numerous and elab-
crate DEGREES and will occupy several
pages of the official gazette.
The reforms consist chiefly in the
creation of an assembly to be called
the council of administration, COM
posed of thirty-fve members, of whom
twenty-one are to be elected by the peo-
pie and six by different corporations.
The remainder will be one magistrate,
one university professor, one archbishop
and five former senators or deputies.
The council of administration is en-
powered, firstly, to prepare a budget;
secondly, to examine into the fitness OF
officials appointed; third, they make
may tariff, subject to the condition
that Spanish imports will have the ad-
vantage over the general tariff.
The governor-general will represent
the home government, and have the
right 20 nominate officials who shall be
Cubans, or Spanish who have resided
two years in Cuba. Nevertheless he
may freely nominate high function
aries, such as magistrates, projects, etc.
Other DEGREES concern the organiza-
tion of provisional municipalities which
are to be literally representative. The
municipal councils in general will be
empowered to elect their president and
have exclusive control of the public
education.
According to another decree the gov.
ernment reserves to itself extraordi-
nary powers in the event of any dis
turbance of the public order, and Cuba
will continue to elect senators and dep
utles to the cortcs as at present.
Altogether the reforms are much
broader in the direction of decentraliza-
tion than those granted to Porto Rico.
The powers of the governor general are
much extended, while the council of
administration is fairly representative
OF all parties and interests The Span
lsh government will continue to vote
the budgets and treaties for the col
onies. Spanish products, according to
the reform scheme, will be allowed a
rebate OF 40 per cent of the Cuban tariff
compared with other imports.

purrant ReIieves Butler Innocen,.

San Francisco, Feb. S.-The supreme
court of California has handed down no
decision on the appeal OF Theodore Dur
rant, found guilty of the murder of
Blanche Lamont twenty-one months
ago. 1t is understood the appeal has
not yet been considered by the supreme
justices, but many attorneys believe
the justices will grant Durrant new
trial. So many important civil cases
have precedence over the Durrant case
that it is said decision will not be
handed down before the end of the
year.
In an interview today Durrant ex-
pressed his sympathy with murderer
Butler, "because the newspapers are
bounding him." as he said. Durrant
expresses his belief in Buffers limo.

WILL NOT REACH A VOTE
Arbitration Treaty to Go Over to Nex,
Session of Congress

Chicago, Feb. S.-A Times Herald
special from Washington says:
The understanding among senator's at
present is that the general arbitration
treaty will come to vote ut this ses.
sion OF congress. No one doubts that
1t will be debated, but the opposition
makes no secret Of its intention to con.
sumo so much time in discussion that
vote cannot be reached.
1t will be an easy matter TO do this
as the business of the senate is fost
reaching that stage in which there will
be great struggle for precedence
Already the friends of the Nicarogno
canal bill, the immigration bill the
bankruptcy bill and other measures
are fighting for time. In short time
the regular appropriation bills will
nave to be taken up and they will dis.
place almost all other business. Under
such circumstances it will be compora.
lively easy to crowd the treaty into the
background. The sentiment of the son.
ate is generally against an open debate
on the treaty.
