CHRISTIANITY NOT EFFETE.
Remarks Of Rev. James Hughes in
the Adams Avenue Chapel.

The Rev. James Hughes, speaking
at the monthly meeting for missionary
work in Adams Avenue Chapel. New
York street, last evening, reviewed the
extensive operations OF the Presby-
terian Missionary society in China.
He showed that the progress of the
cause of Christ in that strange land
was very gratifying and a proof that
tie gospel was still the power OF God
TO every one that believeth. He said
that there are many thousands there
who have forsaken the faith of their
fathers and embraced the gospel OF
Christ. The missionaries are working
hard, both in season and out of season,
as is evident by the fact that they
paid 1Sa.211 visits to the sick last ysar.
and r. ad and explain ID the scriptures
t. them. The largest missionary press
in the world is in China. 1t issued
45,S00,00 prayers in Chinese last year.
Mr.. Hughes said that one of the
strongest evidences of real church life
Is living, loving interest in missions,
both home and foreign, and one of the
srrest guarantees of continued pros
perity of real spiritual character in
our churches Is a burning daSir, with
commensurate effort to bring others
into the enjoyment of the Word of
God both at home and abroad.
The blessing and the power come
with distribution. Churches which are
not interested in the salvation of 9TH
ers become as stagnant pools where
the green cuticle is generated, which
becomes the prolific source of certain
failure and complete annihilation.
There is much true religion in living
for others, and an entire absence of
vital Godliness in living for self alone.

THREATENED WITH A BOTTLE.
Amusing Adventure Of Which Ser.
reant Reese Jones Was Hero.

Tuesday evening Sergeant Reese
Jones in the Centre street police sta
ton, had an amusing adventure with
a drunken man. The latter, entering
the place, made himself generally OBJ
noxious and was forcibly removed from
the place by the sergeant. He con-
tinued to loiter around the station,
however, and Sergeant Reese at last
departed from his lair and going out
side ordered the. man to leave the
premises. The stranger looked at him
and growing a surly answer suddenly
reached his hand back toward his hip
pocket. There was the flash of the
gas light burning outside the station
on something glittering in the mans $
hand, and in a moment the sergeant
was on him.
The stranger was a big. burly indi-
vidual and it was only after a hard
tussle that the sergeant downed him
and triumphantly wrenched out of his
grasp the cleaning object.
When he closely examined II, how
ever, the doughty Reese bit his lips
with chagrin, for instead Of being a
deadly six-shooter II was a bottle of
equally deadly whiskey. The obnox-
ious party was. however. locked up by
the sergeant and was yesterday morn
ing committed to the county Jail by
Mayor Moir.

the condition of affairs existing shocked
her in such a way that the warrant
was Immediately sworn out. She found
the children and old woman shivering
from the cold, and with barely enough
food or nourishment in the house to
keep them alive.
1t is also said that Edginton himself
drank and brought to the house evil
associates. so corrupting the morals of
the children. The story has its. affect
ing side. In more than one sense. as
Edginton was formerly n respectable,
Woodworking man.
After his wife died, however. he is
said to have taken to drink and to
have neglected his family.

A. Kuntsch. the we'll known sport
promoter Of Syracuse. is trying to Sc
cure for his billiard hall the impending
match between Keogh and DeOro for
the pool championship of America,
which DeOro year ago wrested from
the Scranton man.
keogh is now in Boston under con-
tract for the greater part of the win
ter to play exhibition games at the
big Murray billiard parlors. At the
expiration of his contract he will go
after DeOro again and hopes TO win
back the championship. The Syracuse
man, it Is understood. has succeeded
in securing promise from peOro TO
play in that town. and as the champion
has the right to name the battle
ground it Is not unlikely that the con-
test will be waged there. Keogh will
challenge DeOrO for $1,000, or as much
more as the Cuban will agree to play

Before the advent OF the witness
clerk 1t was possible-and rumor has
it the thing actually occurred-for a
witness to draw two days pay IL he
appeared in two cases that were tried
on the same day. There were also
other abuses practiced, such as a wit
ness collecting pay for a whole week.
though his case was disposed Of the
second or third day, or a number of
superfuous witnesses being placed on
the subpoena and then not called. the
prosecutor giving the commonwealth
attorney to understand that events de-
veloping subservent to the summoning
OF the witnesses in question, made it
inexpedient to call them, or something
like that
Now all this sort Of thing is done
away with. A witness can only collect
pay for the actual number of days ho
is In court from the day his case is
set for trial until it is disposed Of. and
no matter how many cases he may ap-
pear in in one day, he can draw only
one days pay for that day.
There hasn't been a day yet that the
witness clerk has been on active duty
that he hasn't saved treble, and often
ten times, his salary. The establish
ing Of this office Is a move for which
the new county commissioners merit
much praise. and at the end of the
year, when the witness bills will show
a very decided decrease, as they un.
doubtedly will, this praise will assured.

PHILOSOPHICAL LASS THIS.
1neligibility Of Groom-elect
Phazed Her Not a Wit.

Last week Miss Josepha Czyvitc.l
accompanied Anthony Oryloski TO
Squire Slivinski's and made applica-
tion for license that would permit
them to wed. The application was
transmitted to Clerk cf the Courts
Daniels and a license issued, but before
it was delivered Miss Clyvitch heard
that her prospective husband had II
wife living in the old country and de-
clined to marry him.
He protested that it was all a mis-
take: that he was a single man, and
though 43 years Of age never loved till
he met and loved her.
She allowed this might all be true,
but she was not taking chances on
warmed over love and, anyway, Alex
androvitch OlsZcroski. younger
though less opulent suitor. was still
persistent, ard she guessed she'd ac-
cept him.
Olszcroski paid over tc Oryloski the
expenses which the old groom elect
incurred in securing the now useless
marriage license. and yesterday he and
Miss Czyvitch appeared at the clerks
Office and got a new one OF their own.

TELEPHONE ORDINANCE AGAIN
Booked to Come UP in Select Council
Tonight.

1t Is now known that an effort will
be made this evening TO again bring
the I.ackawanna telephone ordinance
before select council. Those who were
in favor OF suspending the rules when
the measure was declared cut of order
some time ago now claim they have
II sufficient number of votes to carry
their project. At any rate the result
of tonight's meeting will be watched
with interest.
Common council also meets this
evening in regular session. 1t Is
thought that the license tax ordinance
will be called up on second reading,
and If it Is called up it will probably
be swamped in small Niagara of
amendments.
