AND MINocKA.
Girls from Bliss Dunmore Mill and
Petersburg and Simpson Plants
Met Yesterday Afternoon.

There have been no new develop
ments in the silk mill strike during
the last few days, and matters have

a long-drawn-out deadlock. The own
ers all resolutely refuse to raise their
original wage offers by single penny.
Wednesday will be payday at VAL
entinc Bliss Dickson mill, but Mr..
Bliss states that no attempt will he
made to prevail upon the girls to re-
sumo work. He said yesterday: I'VE
will have no ballotlng as to their will
ingness to come back, nor will any in
ducements be offered. For my part. I
will LET the matter rest, and shut down
the mills for a period OF what at pres
ent looks like a few months. at least"
All of the big mills will be closed
down today, and no efforts will be
made to operate them In any instance.
Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the
striking girls from Bliss Dunmore
mill and the Petersburg plant of Rei-
ling, David & Schoen was held at Man

Der of the girls from the two mills
were present and were organized into
a branch of the union by members of
the SauQuOit local.
4 meeting was also held in Minooka
of the strikers at the Simpson mill.

IT WAS A BIG SUCCESS.
Closing Presentation of the Marie
Antoinette Fete.

The benefit entertainments for the
Home for the Friendless ended Satur-
day night with the most successful
one of the series. General regret was
felt that the performance could not be
repeated another night, as the demand
for tickets was great enough to have
filled the house again. The patronage
OF both afternoon and evening enter
tainments was very large.
Friends OF the Home were generous
in every possible way which could add
to the fund. The flower booth realized
handsome sum, the candy and art
booths were very successful. and the
programmes sold for IA creditable total,
while considerable was realized tror,
the bailotinc for the favorite dance.
The Russian Flag Dance was success
ful in the evening contest. which was
very lively. The prize was n satin
banner with the lilies OF France as a
decoration.
The Pierrctte ana Pierrot dance
came in second, while the pretty dance
of the Pages and Dairymaids third
The Little Peasants dance of the matt
nee won the Pied Piper banner,
The little people In the Pied Piper OF
Hamlin have closely divided the hon.
ors with the Marie Antonette dancers
Miss Evelyn Samt"r was like fairy
in her pretty poses. and she sang most
sweetlN, Misses Jeuu Samter, Ruth
Wolfe, Elizabeth Jelmyn and Edith
Russell We're simply fascinating in
their lovely flower dance. Miss Mary
Greely's charming contralto solo was

Edgar added much to the success OF
the affair OF course. little Tommy
COburn was the centre of attraction
much Of the time.
No one who has not been directly
engaged in the presentation of % big
entertainment such as these have been
can have an adequate conception OF
the enormous amount Of work under
taken by the participants. TO their
faithful, willing efforts and the un-
stinted patronage and assistance of Il
multitude of friends the unbounded
thanks of the Home management is
due. The returns Of the entertain
ments viii be large, and il is hoped

CARELESS BURGLAR THIS
FORGOT TO TAKE KEY FROM
THE LOCK.
Patrolman Parry Surprises Young
Eppstein in Spruce Street
Cigar Store.

Henry Eppstein, 16 years Of age,
was found by Patrolman Parry at
half past five o'clock yesterday morn
ing. crouched behind a cigar case in
Charles Falkowsky's cigar store, at
327 Spruce street. with the contents
OF the cash drawer, a dollar and forty
cents, in his pocket
The patrolman had Just come on
duty and was trying doors, when
he noticed a key sticking in the lock
or the cigar store. He opened the
door. which was unlocked. but could
hear and see nothing. lie turned on
the electric light and discovered
young Eppstein behind the show case.
At police headquarters the prisoner
was searched and a dollar and forty
cents found in his clothing. At first
he claimed the money was his, but
later was forced to admit that he had
extracted it from the TILL Eppsteiu
had newspaper bag thrown over his
shoulder, in which he undoubtedly in
tended to conceal pipes. cigars, ETC.,
but was surprised before completing
the job. In addition to a couple of
packages of cigarettes, a dollar and
sixty cents in pennies was also found
were obtained by breaking open a
slot machine.
The key which Eppstein had was
OK brass and had been filed to ft
that particular lock. 1t is thought
that Eppstein may have committed
the greater number of minor burg

the past two years. AS in this case
the burglars have demonstra ted their
knowledge of the habits of the no.

Eppstein was arraigned before the

DIR. FoN's ADDRESS.
After the business of the meeting
was completed. splendid address was
delivered on the work being done by
the American I'iblc society. OF which
the county society is part. by the
national secretary, Rev. DIR. John
Fox. of New York city.
Dr Fox briefly traced the history OF
the society from It's organization In
1916 to the present time and cited the
interesting and generally unknown
fact that the first Bible society in
this country was the first Continental
congress, which appropriated SEQ o.ono
for the importation of Bibles during
the Revolutionary war, when there
was a scarcity OF them In this coun-
try.
lie said that there was q time in
the first half OF the Nineteenth GEN.
tury when membership i'm the Amer
ican Bible society was considered q
patent of nobility. This feeling had
died out he said, to n very great ex-
tent. but he expressed a hope that IL
would soon revive. The American So
ciety. he said. furnished the key ia
the foreign missionary situation and
without it's aid and assistance in the
furnishing of translations of the
Scriptures in nearly every known tom
que, the foreign missionary move-
ment would be practically dead.

Review, a celebrated and profound
Bible scholar and a preacher of singu-
lar force and power. yesterday began

to be continued during the first four
days Of the week. The meetings are

the Young Women's Christian asso-
citation.
DIR. Pierson delivered three sermons
yesterday. speaking In the morning
ana afternoon at the Penn Avenue
Baptist church, and in the evening at
the Second Presbyterian church. In the
morning he found his text in John.
1884: abide IN me and in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of ITSELF
except it abide in the vine; no more
can ye, except YOU abide In me-
In the afternoon he based his re-
marks on the second chapter of the
second epistle of Paul to Timothy,
which he said was the greatest chap
ter in the Bible on Service" The
doctor took six words from this chap
ter and dwelt upon them briefly as in
dividual subjects. He said. In part:
The first word which strikes US most forcibly In
this chapter is "wtness." What is a witness. 4
witness Is Il person who knows something and
tells what he know This is the first condition of
ChristIn service. Any one who has found N
christ Savior should be witness for Jesus
Christ.
