Mrs. tonkln in St. Paul's Church
last evening spoke on Why Young
Men Go 4Astray.' ' She said in part
that the reasons why young men
go astray are; First the
churches are not rs earnest to save
than as they ought to be and they
are entirely too cold while the
young mon are in their services.
There arc many homeless travellers
and church welcome means much.
Then they lack the proper home

Makes Heart of Poor Breaker Boy Happy
by Presentation of Clothing.

Judge Gray returned home from

strike commission, Of which he is
president. having adjourned to
meet in Philadelphia on January
9Th.
Before leaving Scranton Judge
Gray sent u boXill Of Christmas
presents to Andrew Chippie, the
boy who picks slate in one OF the
Markle Company's breakers. TINS
boy testified before the Comm sson
that he is l5 years Old. bat he does
not s=em 10 be more than 10 or 1.
In MAY, 1892, working at cents

vember. 1902, at the same rate he

MR.. ADDICKS AFTER
NEW CASPR0PERTY
Wants to Control Philadelphia
Corporation Under the
Incoming Mayor.

j. Edward Aldirks, representing
Il syndicate Of gas niagnates, is try
ing to wrest the management OF the
United Gas Improvement Company
of Philadelphia from Thomas Dolan
and John NJ. Mack, by outbidding
them before 1907 when Philadelphia
again will lease the big gas plant or
operate it itself:
When the United Gas Improve
ment Company assumed the man
agement of the gas works Of Phila-
delplia, they We're being operated
at II loss exceeding $4oo, 600 yearly.
Since then the city has received
SlOo, 900 a year from the corpora
ton. and it is estimated that the
city'S net receipts for the thirty
years Of the lease will exceed So
GEO, 900. One Of the conditions upon
which the United Gas Improvement
Company's contract could be reyok-
ed is the payment in cash and with
interest Of all money spent on the
gas works in improvements. That,
five years hence, would be- upwards
of $l9, 800, 900.
As it appears, the scheme would
have an Important influence upon
political and financial affairs, The
plan is this:
MUST BE DONE "BEFDRM' 1907.
In the lease of the gas works to the
United Gas improvement Company,
IL 1893. there was q provision that
if, on "or before July lst. 1907,
written motto" signed blythe Mayor
and declaring the city's purpose to
terminate the contract on January
lst. 1908, should be served on the
corporation, tho municipality could
again assume control. 1t would be
necessary for the philadelphi
Councils to pass an ordinance, and
the city would be required to reim-
burse the United Gas improvement
Company for all money, with inter-
est, spent in tho improvement and
extension Of the gas works since
they were leased to the present
operating corporation.
Unless advantage shall be taken
Of the option on "or before" that
time, the company will retain pos
session of the gas works for twenty
years moro.
The limit Of time for serving notice
upon the United Gas Improvement
Company and reyoking its contract
will fall in thp FIRST month of a 'ueW"
Mayors torn il 1907, AID it is argu-
ed, a most iuopportune time for
such a project as proposed, for it is
doubtful II the proposition. as a
political measure could be accom-
p!lshed thea. if thcrcwas any friction
in the Republican organism.
Therefore. it is said it is proposed
10 take advantage OF tho option
"betore' July ist. 1907; that is,
towards the close Of the next
Mayors term.

EXTRA CASH FOR

Big Christmas.

The suggestion of tn DAILY RE-
PUBLICAN regarding the paying of

The conductors on the local line,
are, as a rule, the best natured Of

which they have to put up with is
considered, this is to be- wondered
at.

there is no reason why the mems

to work every day in the year and
in all kinds of weather, and the
sacrifice they make i'll workin.
holidays is great,
1t is the public which is accommo-
dated by the cars running Christmas
day, and five cents extra from every
one who rides will not break the
public, while if everybody contribu-
ted an extra nickel the aggregate
amount would make handsome
Christmas present for the motor
men and conductors.
There are Il few people who ride
regularly on tho cars who never let
Christmas 60 by without giving the
conductor something. Some times
it Is half dollar, more often a
greenback. Some people would
like to give the conductor of the
car something on Christmas. but
cannot afford to give much and will
not give a small amount, This year
everyone will have chance
From the feeling ma--!.tcstel now
the scheme will be eu"ct ssiul, as

says that he will be willing to do his
share and be glad to do it in the
presentation of a Christmas gift to

LAURA BICCAR
WITNESS ABSENT

Freehold, n. j., Dec. 22.-One Of
tie States most important witnesses
against Laura Biggar has been spirit
cd out Of town. The impression IS
that she kas been hidden by the State
to keep her from falling into the
hands Of the defence.
The witness is Mollie DeSkin, who
was maid in the household OF Ben
nett when he lived at FarminsdaIe.
II was the purpose Of the State to
put her. with two Others on the stand
today to reout some Of the evidence
for the defence. When Miss Blggar
was on the stand she was asked II
she had not said to Miss Deskin:"Oh
MolIle, wish Pop would many me;
if he dies now | would not get any
thing" Miss Biggar denied having
said this.
Lawyer Noonan, Of the defence,
has admitted that the letter alleged
to have been written by DR.. Hen
bricks to Miss Biggar on the day Of
the filing of the will for probate in
Freehold on June 18th had been a
hard blow to his side. He said.
When it was produced in the
morning we objected to its being
read. But during the recess we de-
cided thai with holding it would
make worse impression on the
jury than if we let them know the
contents. Accordingly they heard
DR.. Hendricks alleged addressing
Miss Biggar as mamma and speak
ing of little kitten, although he
had insisted that his position to.
ward her was that OF physician
