Santa Fe system $130O0O a year, exclusive
OF the New York transactions which in

ance of stock certificates.
These transactions viii amount to thous-
ands of dollars additional, but as they are
handled exclusively in New York, Treas
urer Wilder has no means of estimating
the amount.

The estimate of $50, 900 expense a year
to the Santa Fe proper is made without
certain economical moves being con-
sidered. Treasurer Wilder stated to-
day, however, that the economy to be
practiced by the road would reduce the
expense but little It would have to be
exercised chiefly in the matter of pay
checks, and Mr.. Wilder says the present
system is too thorough and attended with
too much safety to the company to be
changed because of a small expense. While
it is probable that all employees in Topeka
and Chicago will hereafter be paid in cur
rency instead of by check. the check sys-

Stamps to the amount of 81, 500 have al
ready been secured for the Santa Fe

includes 10000 one cent stamps which
are now distributed among the agents at
every station along the line from Chicago
to Denver, Albuquerque and Purcell.

If Tom Williams doesn't give Jim
Judge one of the hardest battles ever
experienced by the Scranton welter-
weight, the friends Of Williams will be
greatly disappointed Though Judge
has the advantage of age, Williams has
profited by over 200 contests. He is

he will be matched to meet Charley
Johnson, or Andy Walsh also, he will
be announced as ready to meet any 40
pound man in the world, bar none.
Manager Skelly has every faith in
Judges ability and expects him to win,
even though Williams has the distinc-
tion of having to his credit a 20-round
draw with Dick Burge. one of the
greatest fighters England ever pro-
duced. Williams has always defeated
his man by quick, sharp work. He is
said to have a right hand as strong as
Peter Maher's and has no doubt of his
ability to beat Judge. So sure is Will
liams Of this that he has asked Skelly
to arrange a match for him two weeks
after he defeats Judge. Williams has
many friends in and about Highbridge
where he conducts boxing and wrest-
ling school. Many of them will come

bout and they will come to take all the

said they had been robbed and spread
the story generally among sporting
men in New York. AS soon as Jack
Skelly, manager for Judge heard the
story he agreed to post money to bind
Judge to a contest with Case in New
York, but the latter's manager refused
the offer, saying he did not want Case
to box until cold weather began.
Judges victory over Case gave him
a big boom. He had received several

SAUQUOIT EXCURSION.
Annual Outing at Lake Ariel Satur-
day Attended BY Nearly 5000
Persons.

The third annual outing giEan by the
owners of the Sauquoit silk mill to
their employees was held at Lake Ariel
Saturday. The transportation of the
eighteen hundred employees, and fully
one thousand friends and guests. was
accomplished without the least hitch.
Four trains of twelve coaches each,
and each train drawn by two engines,
were used. The last train left Scran-
ton at 1913 o'clock in the morning.

of the Lehigh Valley, New York, Lake

gave a check to every employe for a
plate of cream. The stampede that

REV. DIR. MoGG'S SERMON.
Wilkes-Barre Pastor breaches in
Elm Park Church.

Rev. DR.. c. E. Mogg, pastor of the
Central Methodist church of Wilkes
Barre, occupied the pulpit at Elm Park
church yesterday and greatly pleased
large congregations, both morning and
evening. DR.. Mogg speaks in very
attractive manner and has exceptional
gifts in the way of elegant diction and
Clearness of logic.
Dr.. Mogg's subject in the morning
was from Job, xxiii:3, "Oh, that / knew
where 1 might find Him." The SER
'non was lofty in thought and intense
ly spiritual in sentiment. He said
that this has been the cry of humanity
through the ages.
Job was seeking a person whom he
knew existed. He had great wisdom
and knew something of science, but the
knowledge of Gods works did not sat
isfy him. There We're impenetrable
mysteries beyond. There was an un-
earthly disturber in his breast. He
was like a mariner set ahoat in a
ship OF which he has no knowledge
or given understanding of the chart;
compass which he could not explain
with figures ne could not read.
Man needs a father, to give more
than earthly parents can give. His
er, ours, for we need spiritual faith
er. We find in God our redeemer and
vindicator Mrs BroNning's "Cry of
th" Children" edo you hear the chit
drcn weeping oh. my brother?" is veri-
ned in the wall of humanity If one
would know the depth of human need
lac should look into his own soul, TO
study the heart history of the human
race. All the achievements of genius
that the world can hestoW may be
lr"uGht IL the yearring spirit only TO
be snurned. Nothing but spiritual
kinship can appease it
When we have found Him what arc
the arguments with which to fill our
mouths to plead before the throne?
Man is lost and helpless without Him
and ss = bird seeks the covering of its
mothers wings SO must the soul long
for refuge in the secret place of the
Most High. Standing thus in the PRES
ence of God our argument is in our
divine origin which gives the right 10
thus plead. We live because God per-
Ietuates lii" and the consciousness Of
kinship remains He who implanted
the Cesire for divine communion has
no right to leave these desires unsasis-
fed.
Then there is the longing for holi-
ness. Amid the conflicts OF life re-
mains the desire for purity and this
gives the right to so before God who
is holy asking this legacy. More than
all these is the love of God the supreme
and conclusive argument. He canno.
Withstand our demands since He re-
ceives our love and loves us. We cam
not go expecting to be heard on per-
sonai merit. But, pleading the merits
ot the Son Of God sent from heaven
ard clothed with power dying in mans
stead, we may go pleading the only
name given under heaven whereby
man may be saved.
The soul, born of the inspiration of
God, fraught with the divine affiatus,

OF the Father and the longing to nestle
In His bosom, but in chains and the
ooncage of sins in a far country feels

Rev. DR.. James Hughes preached
yesterday morning i'm the jackson
street Baptist church and strongly ad-
yocated the cultivation and develop
ment of intelligence and piety in our
churches. He attributed the inaggres-
sive or feeble aggressive action OF the
church to the deplorable absence OF
masculine thought and robust plety
among the rank and file of church.
goers.
The head and heart. he said, required
cultivation. for the head supplied the
shot and heart the powder, and both
are needed. There is room in the
church for men of action and men of
thought. Some people by the very con-
stitution of things will ever remain
only chessmen on the great board of
life moved by the thinkers of the day.
Blessed is that church where there are
a sufficient number of thoughtful.
thinking men and women to keep all
the other members in constant useful
activity.
DR.. Hughes said that he was once in
formed by one of the most successful
ministers in England the late Rev.
Hugh Stowell Brown, of Liverpool, that
he was more indebted for his minister
ial success to one man. a silent member
of his church, than he was to all the
rest put together.
HE COULD THINK.
That man, the Liverpool dinvine said,
could not speak. but he could think,
and his constant thought was how to
increase the usefulness of the church.
He would make known his thoughts
and schemes to some members who
could speak and he would lay them be-
fore the church with the result that
these suggestions were generally taken
up and energetically worked out. All
were kept active and the church grew
and became a mighty power for good
In the city of Liverpool.
Let those who feel they will never
attain to any eminence as thinkers not
dispair, he urged, there is a sphere of
usefulness for them. There is ample
room for Martha as well as Mary in
the great temple of human life. Still
every one should aim at the develop
ment of his powers, both mental and
spiritual, and by so doing there will be
a great augmentation of the intelligent
moral forces of the churches, and a
proportionate increase in usefulness.
He contended that men of high, no.
BILE, sanctified thought live the longest,
do the greatest amount of good in the
world, and are in the long run the most
highly respected of the human race.
More fire in the heart, more light in the
head, he argued.
