SOUTH SCRANTON NOTES.
Contemplated Changes In Hickory
Street Presbyterian Church--In
Honor of Her Birthday.

The contemplated changes at the
Hickory Street Presbyterian church
were brought to a head at the last spe-
cial meeting and the plans have been
placed in the hands Of a committee,
headed by Louis Schumacher as chair
man. The other members who will aid
in having the work pushed to a speedy
completion are: William Hammer, ST.,
Henry Spruks, John Freuchtel, sr., and
Casper Fuhrer.
The principal changes will be made
on the interior, where the side galleries
and organ loft will be removed, SO as to
secure the full value Of the side VIM
dow light, which SO far has been OBJ
scured by the gallery. making the in
terror SO dark and gloomy that lights
had to be burned frequently.
A new gallery, however. will be put
in place, so that as many as before can
be seated. 1t will be at the Hickory
street end, and built semi circular, SINH
lar to the new parish house gallery. The
walls will also be renovated and tinted
in much lighter shade, and the inside
will be made much more bright and
cheerful. The intended improvements
will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.

Runaway Boys Caught.

Thomas Watkins. Sidney Rumbold.
Seth Thomas and Alfred Saunders, four
young West Scranton boys, who ran
away from their respective homes on
Thursday, have been located. one of
them having returned, and the others
will in all probability be at home to-
day.
They started out to see the world and
reached Jersey City on coal and freight
trains, where they were picked up by
the police. In the meantime Superin-
tendent Day had communicated a. de-
scription of the boys to the different
police departments along the Lacka-
wanna railroad.
Chief of Police Murphy. of Jersey
City, notified him yesterday that he
had the boys in custody. and the Wat
kins boys father was notified and
started after them yesterday.
Their dream of the life beyond the
parental home is probably not as rosy
Us they believed when they started out.
ard doubtless all of them will be glad
to reach home again.

DEEPER RESEARCH INTO
LIVES OF LOWER CLASSES

The Rev. John Van Schaick. pastor OF
the Church OF Our Father. preached an
eloquent sermon yesterday on the need
for deeper research into the lives OF the
lower classes. not only in Washington.
but in every city and country IN the
world He selected his text, "The last
enemy that shall be destroyed is death. ''
from the twenty-sixth chapter and twen-
ty-hfth verse OF st. Pauls first book to
the Corinthians.
DR.. Van Schaick made an earnest plea
for the redemption Of that class par
ucularly whose natures have become
numb TO the influence OF right and for
those who have found it easier TO live in
that moral inertia which eliminates in
the death Of the soul He reminded his
hearers that there is a darkest Wash
lngton, where live hurdreds Of human
bein-> whose indifference TO and lack Of
- istian faith presents a splendid field
for Christian workers.
"A strong determined effort Is being
made 10 fulhll the prophecy made by
St Paul in the text" said the preacher.
An attack is going forward upon death
not metaphysical death, but that which
is mental, moral. and spiritual"
