HAS RE-ENLISTED.

Edward r. Conley. South Side cor
respondent of the Republican, who is
employed in the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma and Western car shops has re-en-
listed in Company B, of the Thirteenth
regiment, and will leave with the other
recruits this morning for Mt Gretna.
The re-enllstment of Mr.. Conley is of
more than passing interest from the
fact that he has served eight years in
Company b, his term having expired a
month ago. He was anxious TO re-
enlist at that time, but family ties
compelled him to consider the step
carefully. Owing to many uncompli-
mentary things said about the guard
since the mastering into the United
States service occurred, Mr.. Conley has
decided to make great sacrifices to
show that he is not soldier in times
Of peace and on parade days, and will
proceed to the front Several friends
have signified their intention of assist
ing Mrs. COnley in doing her husbands 8
journalistic work during his absence.

Services last evening in the Hickory
Street Presbyterian church were of an
elaborate nature, the occasion being the
twenty-third anniversary of the Ladies'
Aid society of that congregation. The
exercises began at 7.30 o'clock, the regu-
lar hour of the sunday evening SER
vices. Rev. w. A. Nordt preached a
special sermon, taking his text from
the gospel of Matthew, twentieth chap
ter, twenty-eighth verse;. Even as the
son of man came not to be ministered
unto, but to minister, and give His life
as a ransom for many" The reverend
speakers subject was: "The Service
of Women in the Church of Christ"
Rev. Mr.. Nordt eloquently eulogized
the work done by women for Christ in
their homes, among the poor and sick,
on the battlefield, and among the down
fallen of the land.
To them, he said, is due the praise of
mankind and the blessings of God for
their noble efforts in uplifting human
lty and maintaining the sacredness of
Christ's teachings and examples.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Nordt's mas
terful discourse, Mrs. Caroline Sohns,
secretary of the Ladies' Aid society,
read her annual report, which was re-
plete with interesting data to the MEM
bers of the society, and the congrega-
tion in general. During the year now
closed the receipts were $669.37 and the
expenditures amounted to s59S, used
among the poor and sick of the con-
gregation. As a tribute to the energy
and pride of the society is the hand
some and large parsonage occupied by
Mr.. Nordt and his family. The society
has membership Of 1876, and during
the year four died and twelve were
admitted TO membership.
The officers are: Mrs. Pauline
Mursch, president; Mrs. Charles Leng-
Ter. vlce-president; Mrs. Mary Schunck,
treasurer, and Mrs. Sohns, secretary.
The singing OF the choir, under the
direction of Professor Schmidt. was
above the ordinary, and that part Of
! the programme was augmented by
Fred. Widmsyer, violinist, and Charles
! Doersam, pianist.

WAS DECLARED INSANE,

Patrick Smith was arrested at the
residence of his mother, Mrs. Dominick
Smith, at 1916 Washburn street, Sat
urday evening by Constable Tim Jones.
Ills arrest was made at the instance
of his mother, who was forced to take
the heart breaking step by reason of
her sons peculiar actions. For some
time past, Smith has not acted as a
man who is in full control of his facul-
ties, and lately has given signs of be-
ing dangerous to those about him.
He was locked up in the West Scran-
ton police station and yesterday an eX-
animation was made as to the question
of his sanity by Drs. w. ]. Williams
and w. A. Paine. lie will be commit
ted to the Hillside home today. Smith
is a single man about 20 years Of age,
and has borne good reputation among
the people by whom he was known.

The congregation of the First Welsh
Congregational church on South Main
avenue was treated to two very able,
patriotic sermons at the regular church
services yesterday by the pastor Rev.
David Jones The evening sermon
was a continuation of the morning dis
course and his theme was Wharf.-The
present one and its probable results.
In the morning he discussed the
question as to Whether war; under
any circumstances, was justl1able?"
and while deploring the necessity of
war for any purpose, proceeded to
show that there were circumstances
under which it was right and duty
10 so to war. He alluded to wars for
mere conquest, and greed of territory.
and for supremacy in the councils of
nations, and unsparingly condemned
all such, but was in favor of wars un-
dertaken in defense Of the weak, or for
the guarding of rights, and for resist
ing oppression.
Then. from the general question, he
came to the particular one. namely. to
that of the present war with Spain.
lie showed that this war was justifi-
able in the light OF reason, and of tho
word of God. inasmuch as it was n
var for unselfish ends on our part, and
for the benefit of the downtrodden Gu
hans, and because Spain had failed to
rule according to justice and good
will.
