Mr.. YEUELL'S
BIG REVIVAL
Closed Tuesday Night With
Famous Ben Hur
Lecture.
WAS A GREAT SUCCESS.
The Confessions Number 100
During the Two Weeks
Meeting.

The Yeuell meetings closed last
night according to previous an
nouncement with the distinguished
evangelist's great and celebrated
lecture on Ben Hur. 1t was a mas
terpiece of word painting made in
tensely realistic by the use of rare
and costly views-copies in many
cases of world-famous pictures. But
notable as are Yeuell's lectures he is
primarily preacher and most fas-
cinating and powerful one. The
sound Of his voice is music, now ten
der, wooing, winsOme; now full of
thunders, now a clarion call to battles
His face is full of all varieties of ex-
preston that impress, awe and per-
suade. His manner is animated al
ways and sometimes there is the rest
Of mountain torrent in it. He has
great dramatic power. They who
hear him see the things of which he
speaks. He is dynamo Of seeming
| ly tireless energy. He dominates
his services in a most masterful
though perfectly natural way. He
has no lack of rhetorical gifts COM
bining in an unusual way the bold
ness Of the popular orator with the
niceties of speech used by scholarly
preachers. The grace of persuasion
sits upon his lips and makes him ar
irresistible exhorter. No preacher
under the auspices of a single church
here has ever preached 20 so many
people in a few days. Day after
day and night after night vast con
gregations have listened to him with
delight. Sometimes the house has
been packed including aisles, space
next the walls, vestibules, adjacent
class,rooms and platforms. These
audiences have been powerfully
moved and the whole town and thu
region hereabout is feeling the puri
| flying effects Of the noble pulpit ut
terances of this man of God. On
. hundred and thirty persons have re
sponded to the invitations extende
during the meetings. Some of ther

WHAT IS A COMPLIMENTARY
VOTE?

Candidates on the Democratic
state ticket-particularly the candi-
date for judge of the Supreme
Court-are making appeals for COM
plimentary votes.
What is complimentary vote?
Why, it Is just the same as any
other kind of a vote. 1t goes to the
candidate, Is counted for him, and
helps to elect him--if he can get
enough of them.
1t is the habit of candidates who
have no hope Of election otherwise
to plead for complimentary votes,
and the plea is that it can do no
harm; that it is only a compliment.
1t goes just as far as any other vote
in the election, however.
The complimentary vote is a trick
to be avoided. Every citizen should
vote in support of his principles.

PERSONAL CANVASS FOR A
LUDGESHIP

The Democratic candidate for
Judge of the Supreme Court, c.
Larue Munson, is swinging around
the State soliciting votes to put him
self on the bench of the highest
judicial tribunal in the Common
wealth. He is going into the coun-
ties, holding conferences with the
politicians of his party, and individ-
ually seeking voters.
This is something new. The peo-
pie of Pennsylvania have never be-
fore been diverted by so interesting
a spectacle as candidate for the
exalted place of judge of the Su-
preme Court whirling around in a
personal canvass of the state.
Searching back through all the years
since the adoption of the present
constitution the Democratic candi-
date himself would be unable to find
a precedent for it. The sentiment,
made and ever maintained by the
people which holds high judicial Of
fee above such methods, has always
been respected heretofore by those
who have been honored with IL nom
ination.
The Democratic candidate seems
to have less exalted view of the
place he seeks, and to think he can
promote his cause by thrusting
aside what has become an unwrit-
ten and should be an inviolable law.
The duties of a Judge of the Supreme
Court are of the most delicate and
responsible character-too delicate
and responsible to be exposed to Il
compromising personal campaign
for votes. The Office has never been
pulled down to that level, and no
one has ever before thought he could
pull himself up to the Office by such
methods.
The Democratic candidate will
not benefit by those methods now.
The people Of Pennsylvania have too
high an appreciation of the proprie-
ties to look with either patience or
favor upon personal canvass by a
candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court.

One Of the striking features about
Peary's charge against Cook is that
it is copyrighted by the Arctic club
and you cannot print it unless you
pay for so doing. 1t looks like a
money making scheme especially as
the secretary of the club announces
that the charge is made at this early
date and before the geographical So
eieties can pass on the evidence of
both parties, for the reason that
Peary may suffer financial loss in his
lecture campaign which is apt to fall
fat with the general public, as DR..
Cook is now lecturing to large audi
ences. Peary and his Arctic club

A SMILE AND A HELPING HAND
'Tis the honest grip

lis the honest grip
or comradeship
Makes fellow take heart again;
It's the word of cheer
From a friend sincere
Makes him feel life's not in vain.
When the way is dark
And the luckless barque
Is drifting from safetys strand,
Why, God bless the man
And the woman who then
Hold to us a helping hand.
When you're out of luck
And you're out of pluck
And the fight don't seem worth
while
What will give you heart
To do your part?
Why, handclasp and a smile;
So when all is black
And we've lost the track
In world we can't understand,
Then God bless the friend
Who is there to lend
A smile and a helping hand.

PEARY AND COOK.

The storm center of the Peary-
Cook controversy has shifted from
the North Pole to Mount Mckinley.
Doctor Cook claims to have reached
the summit of Mount Mckinley ac-
sompanied by guide named Bar
rill. This claim was not disputed
until lately, Barrill having testified
to the fact and it is on record that
In his home town he has related re-
peatedly very minutely all the details
OF the ascent. Some weeks ago short
~ after the Peary accusation the
New York Herald published a report
that Barrill had acknowledged that
he had been offered $4,000 to make
af1davit that DR.. Cook had not
reached the summit of Mount Nc
Kinley, but had declined the offer.
Now a paper called the Globe, own
cd by Capt. Bridgman, who is Peary's
strongest advocate and intimate
sonfidant, comes out with an affl-
davit which it is claimed was made
By Barrill, to the effect that Cooks
story of the ascent, Of Mount Nc
Kinley was fake and he was a
party to it. Not much credence can
be placed upon the oath of this man
who for several years has claimed
to have been with Cook when he
made the ascent, who has made the
statement that he has been offered
$4,000 to deny what he has stated,
and then comes out with an affidavit
which makes him out a confessed
perjurer at the very best. DR.. Cook
has signified not only a willingness
but determination to head a party
of explorers to ascend to the summit
of Mount Mckinley and procure
the records he left there. Hope he
invites Peary to be one Of the party.

SEIZED 1000 GALLONS BOOZE.
Rockland County Still in Hands of
Government Officers,


Government Officers.
Henry B. Lawson, of Newburgh,
deputy collector of internal revenue,
seized 1000 gallons of spirits at a
still in Charlestown, Rockland coun-
ty, Saturday night. The still had
for some time been under suspicion
but the internal revenue agents
found it extremely difficult to dis
cover the offenders owing to the
method which they employed in
avoiding the revenue tax. The still
was registered, but only paid a tax
for half its output. 1t was perplex-
ing, however, to ascertain when
legitimate spirits were being taken
from the still and when contraband.
To solve this two special internal
revenue agents-one from North
Carolina and another from Boston,
Mass, were called into the case to
assist Mr.. Lawson.
After watching the still for weeks
the internal revenue men made their
seizure when wagon was loaded
for the second time. AS the govern
ment tax is $3.50 per gallon it will
be readily apparent that the saving
to the distiller by evading the tax
was, on this load, $1,000.

SECOND DEGREE VERDICT.
Blakeslee Will Now Have to Spend
Few Years in the Penitentiary.


Blalkeslee Will Now Have to Spend
Few Years in the Penitentiary.
The jury in the case of Amos G.
Blakeslee, charged with the murder
of Garrett S. Berry, native of Da-
mascus township, this county, on the
night of July 20, 1909, at 720
Adams avenue, Scranton, returned
verdict of murder of the second de-
gree.
The verdict was reached about Z
o'clock Wednesday night, it is said,
and the jury filed into court at $50
o'clock the next morning. Three
minutes later the verdict was read.
Blakeslee entered the court room
about minute before the jury came
in and took his seat at his counseps
table. He appeared cheerful and
stood the strain of the intervening
minutes between his arrival and the
announcement of the verdict, we'll,
the only nervousness he betrayed
being shown in the shaking of his
hands.
The verdict was plainly a shock to
him, as there was a rumor in the
court house that the verdict would
be guilty of manslaughter," but the
supposed leak" was wrong.
When the verdict was announced
Blakeslee wept quietly and mopped
his face, which had turned very red,
and rubbed his eyes with handker-
chief.
A couple of women, said to be rel
atives of the convicted man, who sat
in the audience, when the verdict
was read, were also overcome.
A few minutes after he had heard
his fate, he was taken back to the
county Jail.
Attorney James J. Powell, who
with Attorney E. w. Thayer, defend
ed Blakeslee, was present when the
verdict was read and Immediately
announced that he would move for
a new trial.
Attorney Tbayer arrived a couple
of minutes after the jury had been
discharged.
1t was said that Blakeslee had a
narrow escape from the moose, for
when the jury first balloted it was
found that a number had voted for
first degree verdict.
The crime of which Blakeslee was
convicted, was committed in his
wife's home. He had left his wife
a couple of months before and lived
a few doors away from her.
The victim, Berry, was a neighbor
of the Blakeslees, and a frequent
caller at their home, both before and
after the separation.
Blakeslee sat on the porch of his
boarding house on the night of the
murder. He saw Berry walk past his
wife's house, turn and go back. Ber-
ry sat on the porch with Mrs. Blakes-
lee for few minutes and then went
into the house. Mrs. Blakeslee peer
ed up and down the street and then
followed Berry.
Blakeslee went up to his room,
put on his coat and hat, took a re-
volver that he had borrowed, went
around in the rear of the houses be-
tween the boarding house and his
wife's home and planted himself at a
window in an alleyway so that he
could see his wife and Berry in Mrs.
Blakeslee's dining room. He watch
ed him until he saw enough to con-
vince him that it was time to inter
fere.
He broke in a rear window and
when his wife saw him she fed.
Berry, who was a very large and
powerful man, wrestled with Blakes-
lee, according to the latter's testi-
mony, and while they were tussling
the revolver he held in his hand went
off and Berry was shot just about
the left eye. He died the next day
in the State Hospital.

To the editor of a little Maine

an indignant elderly woman, who
waved bit of paper in the editorial
face.
"Lookee here!" she said. What
does this mean-a bill for the Citi-
zen to my husband that's been dead
two years? Ye don't expect his wild
ow to pay debts O. his contracted long

"You say he has not been getting
the paper?" said the editor, after
long thought.

the woman, II tell ye he's been dead
two years!"
Strange" mused the editor. "The
postoffice department has not noti-
fed me of his failure to receive them.
Quite sure you yourself haven't been
enjoying the estimable educational
values of a perusal of my sheet?"
THAT amt the point" argued the
widow. you've been sending the
noospaper and bill to a man that's
dead. It's your affair, not mine."

ceiving that he must be a loser, "in
