LONDON'S CITIZEN SUNDAY.
Return of Soldiers and Elections Fur
 nished Topics for Ministers.

 London, Oct 29.-Citizen Sunday is new institution which was estab- lished yesterday by the concurrent ac- ton of hundreds of preachers in the metropolis. The obligations of true citizenship were enforced from the pull pits both by the Established church and NonconforInist bodies. The re- turn of the London volunteers after an arduous campaign was q safe topic, and the borough coun- cirs election next Thursday suggests colorless homilies upon the duty of taking hearty interest in local govern ment and choosing without prejudice the best men. The pulpit admonition was not out of place under the sec ond head, for municipal ele1tions have never been taken seriously in London. Now that the vestries are regrouped and transformed into twenty-eight borough councils, with mayors, the ob- ligatiens of citizenship invite pulpit re- fection. These councils will be em- powered to eNpend about S15,000,O0O annually in an area of 125 square miles. with q population of over 5,- 100000. while the London county coun- cil disposes of $J0,000000. They will be something more than sub-municipnl agencies and centers, although Lord Roseberry's ''federaliZed London seems a rhetorical expression and the tendencies of decentralization are more potent than the forces of central.za- ton. As the lists of candidates are made up mainly of former vestry men, It seems probable that the business of lighting, paving and cleaning the streets will be conducted by the same men on the old lines, and that there will be no radical changes in the sys- tenn of local government.
 In consequence of, the adoption of the new municipal mechanism one thing is already noticeable-a tendency to drag national politics into local con rests. The conservatives have dropped the name of moderateS and are striving 10 carry borough elections on parry lines.

Thompson, editor of Reynolds Newspaper, and a man of considerable aDlllty as m organizer, has la,.nchsl new party, known as the national democracy, which may attract many dissatisfied radicals and workfncmen. US principles considered primary are automatic registration, with three months qualifications; manhood sui

 Galleries This Morning.
LEHIGH MINE STRIKERS OUT.

Men Want a Written Guarantee From
 The Mine Owners-Fifteen Thous-
 and Reported For Work at Shamo
 kin Galleries To-Day.
 Hazleton, Pa, Oct 29.-Operations . were resumed this morning at a ma jority of the collieries in the Hazleton district. The strike is still on at the mines of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarrc Coal company located at Audenricd, Honeybrook and Green Mountain. One of the officials said this morning that the company had informed the meE that it would abolish the sliding scale and agree to pay the 10 per cent until April l, and did not know why they refused to report. The mine workers want written guarantee to this eff feet.
 The Oneida and Derringer coIliery of CoXe Bend and company and are also idle on account of some miSun- derstanding on account of the notices posted by the company. All hands will probably be at work tomorrow. The only other colliery that did not resume Is the one at Milnesville, where no demands have been granted at all. Before the strike began this company threatened to abandon this mine and it seems that the threat will be car ried out.
 About 100 strikers found themselves out of work at the Lattimer colliery of c. c. Pardee and company because of the abandoning of the Buck Noun tain vein by the firm who said that operation of this part of the workings will be unprotitable on account of the 10 per cent increase.
 A. Pardee x Company have filled the places of six ''Lokie'' runners, the miners refused to go back to work at Cranberry until their runners were reinstated and in consequence the col lery is idle.
 Shamokin. Pa, Oct 29-When the colliery whistles blew this morning 5000 men and boys between Trevor ton, this place and Mount Carmel re ported for work. The only collieries idle are Henry Clay. Excelsior and Corbin. Whey will be in operation in a few days.
 Scranton. Pa. Oct 29-Work was resumed to-day at practically all of the collieries of the big coal companies in the Lackawanna and Wyoming dis tricts. A few of the mines were not quite ready to start but they will re- sume tomorrow or Wednesday.

the greetings of the South church in his
usual happy manner and the president
of the club, D. M. Camp of Newport, fol-

which the pastor of the Methodist

livered by Rev. Dr. George H. lde OF Mil
waukee and his theme was The Pecul-
arity OF the Twentieth Century Religion" ."
The speaker clearly proved that its most
notable popularity was that it had no
speciality. The ancient religions all had
their speciality; the christian religion
none. DR.. Ide paid his respect to those
who attributed everything to evolution
and to those who found belief toi
Christian Science in religion, declaring
religion to have no such peculiarities bu
to be decidedly free from specialties.
The address was delivered in an elo
quent manner and was closely listened t.
by large audience.
