When Almsgiving Is a Sin,

1T is no exaggeration to say that the
use of money is a test of character and
a revelation OF mans nature" writes
Ian Maclaren of The Genteel Tramps
in Our Churches" in the April Ladies'
Home Journal There are men who
lose money by their foolishness-was-
trels; there are men who spend it on
their vices-prodigals; there are men
who hoard it with jealousy-misers;
there are men who lay it out in we'll
doing-they are the wise men. When
| say well-doing | am not thinking of
that unreasoning and indiscriminate
charity which, whether it take the form
of aims to a lazy vagabond or large
benefaction for the creation of paupers.
is curse and not blessing, sin and
not duty.
1--WE are not to read in mechanical
fashion the advice of our Lord to the
young ruler to sell his possessions and
give to the poor, for though that might
have been the only pledge of sincerity
he could give in that day, it would be a
great calamity in our day. Whatever
may have been the case in ancient
times, there can be no question that in
our day the man who establishes a
mandatory in small town and pays
fair wages does ten times more good
than he who would use his wealth to
found an almshouse."

1.-THE Span of Lifsu

That unique and highly successful
play, THE Span of Life" will be the

and allows excellent scope for scenic
display and highly dramatic situations.
There is enough comedy interviewer to
break the monotony and furnish food
for laughter. In the third act, the
famous living bridge, from which the
title of the play is derived, is given.
Mrs. Blunt and her child are taken
prisoners by the villain, Leech, who has
become Il leader among the Arab slave
hunters. Attired as Arabs, Blunt's
friends take him before Leech as IL pris-
oner, AS soon as l4eech turns his back,
Blunt and his wife aud child are re-
leased, They fly to the mountains.
Blunt's friends cross chasm by means
of bridge. Ere it is reached by Blunt
with his wife and child, the Arabs ap-
pear and throw the bridge into the
chasm just as the fugitives reach it.
Then is formed THE Span of Life" and
the heroine and her child cross over.

Death of Victoria Cross Holder.

Thomas Cosgrove, who claimed to be
the only resident of this state who had
Victoria Cross, died on Thursday at
his home In Pittston of general debility,
aged IS years. Cosgrove won the much
desired cross by notable gallantry in the
South Andaman island in 1867. He was
then serving in the British army. A
scouting party was cut off, and voun-
teers were called for to find them. Cos
grove was the first to step forward, and
he was placed in command of five men.
The island swarmed with ,avages, but
the little party searched the woods and
found their comrades surrounded by the
natives.
They fought their way through them
and then back to tho coast with their
comrades. Not a man reached the
coast without wound. Co;grove was
wounded three times, but recovered
Each of the liLtle party of rcscuers was
rewarded by the Victoria Cross. Cos
grove came to this country thirty years
ago and has since lived in Pittson. Cos
grove enlisted under the name of Muir
ply, his mothers name, and his name
appears on the official list of Victoria
Cross men. There are only 1863 living in
all the world

On Monday afternoon Mrs. James Nc
Garry, of Monacaqua, received letter
from her missing husband, who mys-
teriously disappeared one week ago.
He wrote from Shaft, Schuylkil coun-
ty, small mining town, that he had
no recollection whatever of his leaving
home and his memory was entirely a
blank as to his wanderings since Mon
day night. He remembered, he said, of
having drank several glasses of beer
on the night of March 10 and of going
to the gate with Il neighbor, but after
that, up to the time of writing to his
wife, his mind utterly failed him.
Nothing is known of any family trou
BILE and he had no financial difficulties.
AT the West End collieriey he was much
thought of by the superintendent and
employees. 1t may be possible that with
his multiplied duties, having recently
been appointed outside foreman in con-
junction with the duties of breaker boss,
his mind became temporarily unbal-
anced. As stated before he was a hard
worker and faithful employe.
