arated by a little blind alley less than
two feet wide.
The woman was hysterical, and con-
siderable difficulty was experienced in
getting her out of the alley. First one
of the rescuers would get stuck in the
narrow space and then another, until
il looked at one time as if some of the
boards on the side of the building
would have TO be taken out before the
woman could be released from her
rather painful and decidedly embar-
RAISING position. She was finally re-
leased. none the worse for her fall Of
over 40 feet.

lives in the building where the acci-
dent happened. She had gone TO the
roof TO hear some neighboring music
better. and had intended 10 step over
to the adjoining roof. In trying TO
carry out this plan she slipped and fell
40 feet down in the little alley.

DIED AT ATLANTIC CITY,
William Stern, of Cedar Avenue,
Turned on Gas-Had Been in
III Health for Some Time.

William Stern, who for number OF
years conducted dry goods store at
405 Cedar avenue, committed suicide
in Atlantic City on SaturdnN
Mr.. Stern and his wife went TO At-
lantic City a few weeks ago. His
health was poor and having regained
it on a previous occasion at the sea-
side resort. he went again. The couple
took rooms at 1927 Pacific avenue and
Mr.. Stern began to improve. Last
week he persuaded his wife to come
home, saying that he would return
the coming Wednesday. She came
home and received a letter from her
husband on Friday in which he stated
that he was making preparations TO
leave.
shortly after 3 o'clock Saturday
morning a strong odor of gas was dis
covered emanating from the room
which Mr.. Stern occupied and the
door was forced open. He was found
dead on the bed. The tips had been
removed from the gas jets and every
crevice in the doors and windows had
been stuffed, 10 prevent the gas from
escaping.
Mr.. Stern was born in Bremen Ger
many, some flfty-two years ago, and
had been resident OF this city for
twentv-three years. He is survived by
a wife and one daughter. The remains
will be brought to this city Tor inter-

STRIKES AND STRIKERS.
Rev. James Mcleod, D. D., Referred
to Them in Sermon in First Pres
byterian Church Last Night.

Rev James Mcleod, d. D.. last night
delivered an interesting address at
the First Presbyterian church on the
subject of Strikes and Strikers" In
the course of his remarks he declared
that if both sides would apply the
Golden rule i'm the adjustment of the
difficulties a settlement could be ar
rived at amicsble to both parties, ana
without any cessation OF work at the
mines. Continuing. he said
Wealth is accumlilating I'm this coun-
try and am glad of IT, When wealthy
men and women give hundreds OF
thousands to endow colleges. build
churches and accomplish other noble
works. and when one man who came
to this country gives away ten MILL
ions In two weeks to put good liter
ature into the reach of any poor man.
when such things are done. I say it is
not wise nor Christian 10 condemn
such rich men and such riches.
'I think those who are DESTROYS Of
creating strike i'm these regions
should study that passage of Scrip
lures which says. 1T is hard to kick
against the pricks.' They should look
over the history of past strikes and
remember that not one in twenty has
been of benefit to the strikers
and there has never been a strike
won except when its cause was so just
that IL was endorsed by an enlight-
ened public opinion. But to the best Of
my knowledge the motive which would
actuate a present strike is as small a
piece of business as ever happened. 1t
Is so devoid of reason as to be almost
inhuman.
'1f work Is stopped for such paitry
reasons. the miners will rue their ac-
tion and suffer for It. | hope they viii
take counsel and not at the beck and
call of one man bring poverty on them
selves and their families"

Collins and Farrell entered the store
on the morning in question at about
o'clock. and inquired of Mrs. Squiers,
who came to wait upon them. if there
was any work about the place she
could give them to do. She replied
that there was not and retired into
her living apartments in the rear of
the store, thinking that the men would
go right out.
She was called out in the store a
short time later by the entrance of a
customer and saw that a tray which
had contained several silver watches
and chains was. lying empty on the
top of the show case. She Immediately
suspected the two men and brought
the matter TO her husbands attention

While talking to her husband she no.

him out. Mr.. Squiers overlook him.
but he denied all knowledge of the
theft, admitting. however. that he had
been in the store with Farrell. War
rants were sworn out for the two men
and placed in the hands of Deputy
Constable Fred snyder
Farrell was arrested on Thursday
night I'm Prices hotel, near Archibald.

ETERNAL PUNISHMENT.
Monsignor Garvey Spoke About 1t
in His Sermon in st. Peters
Cathedral Last Night.

Monsignor h. A. GarVey. of Pittston,
vicar general Of the diocese OF Scran-
ton, preached an eloquent and able SER
mon last night at ST. Peters cathe-
dral. outlining the teaching Of the
Catholic church regarding eternal
damnation.
The doctrine of the church. he said
as upheld by council after council. is
that there is a literal hell and that the
souls of all persons dying in state Of
sin and unrepentant are doomed to
everlasting consignment to its tor
ments.
surely" said he, that soul which
in life has been united with Jesus
Christ by the ties of His precious blood
will suffer terrible agonies in hell when
all these ties are rudely broken asunder
and when there will be no hope of ever
again being united with God
Great as is the loss of God. that is
not the only suffering which the
damned soul must suffer in hell. The
Scriptures tell us that there is in that
awful abode a real corporeal and con-
suming fire. not a fire In the hgurative
sense. We are told in the New Testa-
ment that upon the last day Christ will
say unto the wicked: Depart, We
cursed, into the everlasting fire pre-
pared for the devil and his angels"
The everlasting remembrance of the
sins committed on earth, the remem-
brance of what might have been" the
speaker said, is another of the awful
sufferings of the damned
I'VE can fancy" said he, "the wall

pleasures! oh, evanescent joys we can
hear it cry, by what subtle power do
YOU draw your votares on to destruc-

"Dante has written that over the
gate of hell are written the words, AN
hope abandon, ye who enter here
That is the greatest of all the torments
of the place, the loss of hope--hope
which is bread for the hungry, rest for
the weary, medicine for the sick and
life for the dying. No man here on
