"The Passing of an Infdel or the
Skeptics God and Mine" This is the
topic of the sermon announced by Rev.
r. F. Y. Pierce for the Sunday even
ing service at the Penn Avenue Bap-
tist church. In view of the recent death
of the great unbeliever and agnostic,
it may be inferred that many preach
ers will take occasion to speak of the
teachings and life of the noted infidel.
Mr.. Pierce is always kind and frank
in his dealing with topics about which
others may differ, hence we may expect
an earnest and fair discourse on the
teachings of infidelity in contrast with
true Christianity

MUSICAL NOTES.

The JerViS- -Hardenbergh Summer
school has been phenomenally success
full On the opening day, June 2Gth,
sixteen pupils enrolled, and Mr.. Jervis
finding every hour of his time filed,
was obliged to decline further arplica-
tion for lessons. The success of this
summer term indicates a widespread
interest in the Virgil Clavier method
in Scranton and 1t is daily obtaining
new and enthusiastic adherents.
Prof John T. Watkins will leave on
Monday for Ocean Grove, where he Will
p1l ticipate In an operetta called THE
Sleeping Beauty" under the auspices
Of the Women's Christian Temperance
union.
The Hatch Music company Of Phila-
delphia published two songs from the
pen of Alfred Wooler, tenor of Elm
Park church. One is ballad entitled
Dearest Flower, Forget Me-Not;" the
other a sacred piece entitled why Art
Thou Cast Down, o My Soul" Both
songs are of high order, especially
the sacred piece, which has already Sc
cured high praise from many musi-
clans of note who do not hesitate to
say that it ranks with the very best
of sacred songs.
Alfred Wooler, by request, will sing
The Holy City" by Adams. at Elm
Park church tomorrow evening.

QUEER ORIGIN OF
MANY SURNAMES
AN ODD BOOK BY PRESIDENT
ARTHUR's FATHER.
In 1t He Traces Back the Derivation
and Import of Family and Chris
tian Names and Deduces Some In
teresting Conclusions.

w. +. Curtis in Chicago Record
In a secondhand store some time ago
l found a well-worn copy of an inter-
esting book written by the father of
President Arthur while he was pastor
of a Baptist church at Newtonvllc, AL
bany county, n. Y, in 1856 The title
Is AN chronological Dictionary Of
Family and Christian Names, with an
Essay on Their Derivation and I'M
port, by William Arthur, A. NJ" He
gives list of the $500 surnames and
500 baptismal names which are most
common among our people. a majority
of them appear to be Gaelic, Celtic
and Saxon origin. "All Names" the
author says, must have been originally
significant" and he explains the GUS
toms that prevailed among the ancient
races in naming their young. He says
that the Jews always named their
children of the eighth day, the Greeks
on the tenth day, when the event was
celebrated by entertainments to the
friends of the parents and sacrifices
offered to the gods. The Romans
named their female children on the
eighth and their male children on the
ninth day after birth, which they called
the day of puritcation and solemnized
with a feast.

WANTED: ANOTHER SCAPEGOAT.

Matters have arrived at that pass
where that good and pure man, Mr..
Mckinley, is in need of another scape-
goat on whom to lay responsibility for
the present condition in the Philip
pines-for, you know, it is quite out
of the question for the President to
shoulder the blunders of his own ad-
ministration. With Alger retired and
Otis played out as scapegoat and with
Root not yet ripe, the good man in
the White House is in a bad quandary
as to whom to blame things ON. Some
fertile mind has devised a temporary
expedient, however, by means of which
Mr. Mckinley may tide over until
matters are in such shape that Mr..
Elihu Root may assume the role of
scapegoat and shoulder the response
bility. 1t isn't to be Otis, or anyone
connected with the administration this
time-not even Gen. Miles. The ad-
ministration has now discovered that
Congress is to blame for it all.
A Chicago administration organ
quotes letter written by "a high Of
fetal of the administration $ 3
to one of our ambassadors abroad" to
show, as the correspondents puts it,
that the country should place the
blame for the situation upon Con-
gress for its delay in ratifying the
treaty of peace and in defeating the
passage of the Hull army BILL
As the high official himself puts it:
General Otis should not be held re-
sponsible for the delay in the ratifca-
ton of the treaty of peace any more
than should the executive or the war
department; nor the responsibility
for the defeat of the Hull bill, the
prompt passage of which would have
obviated this embarrassment and use
less expense of lives and treasure A
review of the debates and dilatory tao
tics on the Hull bill are of interest to
tnOSe looking Tor the real cause OF
lack Of more active work in the Phil
ippine campaign"
So, Congress must play the scape
goat until Mr.. Root gets down to work.
Mr.. Mckinley in his extremity pro-
poses to find fault with the Senate for
not ratifying the treaty off hand. with
out question and without examination
OF the work Of the Presidents agents
in Paris, taking it for granted that
they were as immaculate as Mr.. Nc
Kinley himself is so well known to be.
and hence could do no wrong.
But Mr.. Mckinley has got the wrong
scapegoat By the horns here It was
