Not Found at 116 B St. NE.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The story about the goods stolen from
Mr. Felter. as published in The Star
recently, resembles very much the story
of the man who wrote a definition of a
crab, that 1t was "a. small red fish that
went forward backwards" and submitted
it to Agassiz for his Endorsement. to
which Agassiz replied that the definition
was all right. except that the crab Is not
f1sh-it is not red, and does not go
forward backward!
So in this case, there is no vacant house
at 116 B street northeast. as ! built the
house in 1871 and have occupied 1t ever
since. Second. the stolen goods We're not
found there, but at TOO 9th street north
west where I found them hidden in a
room. the door Of which had been open
ed by the burglar Third. there was no
pin of any kind, and fourth, the watch.
keys and pliers were not wrapped In a
silk handkerchief or anything else. but
lay loose in a corner on the floor: and
finally. there were not several other
watches as stated but single one. If
there was a pin and several other watches
among the articles held by the police.
they must have been found elsewhere
How these errors occurred l do not
understand. as 1 took the articles home
on leaving my Office and notified detective
headquarters by phone. An officer called.
him where and how l found them. of
which he made a written memorandum.
Soon after the sergeant called and got
them
This correction may be of no conse-
quence. except that l do not like to have

REV. CHARLES STELZLEs AD-
DRESSES GATHERING.
Declares That the Laborer Is the
Backbone of the Republic and the
Instigator of All Reform.

Rev Charles Stelzle. Presbyterian
CLERGYMAN, who carries the card of
machinists union in his pocket, address,
ed an audience Of men at the Y. NJ. c.
A. building yesterday afternoon. Many
of his hearers were labor union men OF
this city: and they heard Mr.. Stelzle de-
clare that the American workman is the
backbone of the republic, and responsible
for all of the great reforms that have
made for progress.
Mr. Stelzle carries a union card by right
Of having earned 1T through his work
in machine shop. He was born IN
tenement and his experiences have put
him in close touch with the problems OF
society from the viewpoint OF labor.
The important thing. in the labor
movement today is the view of the other

sands of people who believe that II
trades unionism can be wiped out me
labor question will be solved. But the
labor unions do not constitute the labor abe,
question Even If they were annihi-
lated we would still be confronted by
the great question.
The American workingman Is the
most skilled artisan in the world, the
best PAID. and most comfortable. But
in comparison to what ne produces he
Is the poorest paid workman on earth:
This fact has been dug up by the United
States government.
The American workingman Is the
most temperate man in the whole world.
The labor movement Is making a fight
for an even more temperate class of peo-
pie The great movement which is sweep
ing the country today. closing saloons
and making retormations. Is due. to a
certain extent, to the American working
man.
This is the person who demands that
women shall be given equal pay for equal

underpaid women. He is demanding that

Rev. DR.. Shannon Delivers Third
Sermon of Series.

sermon OF SeT1SS.
The galleries and auditorium of Metro
politan NJ f. Church were crowded last
evening. the occasion being the third SER
mon of Rev DR.. John Reid Shannon's
series on 1.-The AllSurrounding Spirit
World" The speaker made clear his po-
sition on modern spiritua:ism.'
81 no more believe In spiritualisn. he
said than do l lieve in necromancy
or astrology or cId-tilne divination. Spir-
itualism covers vast amount of deliber-
ate and intentional fraud. Some trance
mediums and inspirational speakers are
honest but self-deIuded. All t2st mediums
are conscious frauds. Researches into
the phenomena of spiritualism show that
all it's wonders can be performed by
sleight -of-hand and rank impostura.
1.-The one truth that gives to spiritual
ism it's power is that death is not death,
but transition: that the dead are not
dead. but living. and living near at hand.
They have only passed from one room
into another room of the many-mansioned
house of our heavenly Father. They are
real folks and not shadows: not specters,
not outlines Of being, but real folks. with
forms visible TO spirit eyes and tangible
to the apprehension of spirit touch.
This is the world of shadows; the spir-
it world is the world of realities, Of causes,
of primal essences. out of which all things
are evolved as sparkles from undying
flame. as flashes from eternal fire.
1--WE are in this world to be spiritually
educated for the environments of the
spirit world
