SEBMOJTBY THE PASTOE In the presence of a congregation numbering fully two thousand people and with all the impressive pomp provided by the ritual of the Church of Rome the new Sacred Heart Polish Catholic church at the corner of Brook street and Prospect avenue was dedicated yesterday morning by Rt. Rev. Bishop M. J. Hoban, assisted by a number of the priests from the various Catholic churches throughout the city.

The services began at 10 o'clock, but long before that time an unbroken line of worshippers made their way to the edifice that has been erected by them Church of the through their commendable zeal and self sacrifice. Scattered among the congregation and lending a striking effect to the beautiful interior of the edifice were a score of the Palish societies connected with the church, all attired in their brilliant uniforms and carrying the flags and emblems of their different patrons. Among the clergymen in attendance were: Rev. E. J.

Melley, of St. John's chur.ch; Rev. Peter Christ, of St. Mary's ohurch; Rev. Dr.

J. Loughran, of the cathedral, and Rev. W. P. O'Donnell, of Holy Cross church.

From the interior the dedication party made its way outside the building and here the same formula SCRANTON MAN KILLED IN MISSISSIPPI Dispatches Received Last Night State That Ha Was Either Killed or Murdered.

Those who are Intlmatey acquainted with him assert that he was of a roving disposition but they scout the Idea of murder, choslng rather to believe that he met his death by being accidentally run over by a train.

was observed. After walking entirely around the church the clergymen and I bishop again entered the church and proceeded to the altar, reciting in the meantime the Litany of the Saints. When the ceremonies attendant upon the dedication had been concluded preparations were made for the celebration of the first mass within the church, with Rev. Andrew Zychowlcz as celebrant. The extensive preparations made for the event by the members of the choir was plainly manifest by the excellent manner in which they rendered the mass selected some weeks ago.

When this service had come to a close the bishop in a brief, but earnest address, congratulated the members of the congregation upon the work they had done in providing for themselves and their posterity such a beautiful place of worship and he urged them to continue their support of their church and pastor with the same generosity and good will for which they have so well and favorably known. A lengthy sermon was then delivered by the pastor, who congratulated his congregation upon the happy ending of their labors and the appropriate time they had made possible for the cul mlnation or tneir project. He was heard throughout with the closest at tention and his hearers were visibly 1 Sacred Heart. impressed with his eloquent discourse and his appeal to continue the work so auspiciously begun. The ceremonies finally concluded and the congregation filed slowly out of the church, all happy in the prospect of having in th future a place of worship worthy of the zeal of those who have made such an edifice possible.

The church when completed will cost approximately the sum of eighty thousand dollars and will be an unusually handsome edifice. It is being constructed of brick, with stone trim mings, and its dimensions are eighty by one hundred feet. It has a seating capacity of one thousand, but more than double that number was crowded within its doors yesterday.

Lacks, tf be of ed ALL WILL CELEBRATE Observance of Christmas will be General Among All Classes of City's Residents. POOR WELL CARED FOR Throughout all Christendom there Is being celebrated today the feast of all feasts, Christmas Day, the anniver sary of Christ's advent among mankind, and in no locality is the observance more general than in Scranton and its immediate vicinity. Prepar ations for this great event have been going on a pace for weeks and weeks, and now that the festival has finally arrived everything is in readiness for its proper celebration. The method of observing the day is as various as the traits peculiar to those who are celebrating, but in one particular there appears to exist a community of interests among all classes, and that is the provision of an opportunity for the poor to spend the day in as pleasant a manner as their more fortunate brethren. Never in the city's history has such attention been paid to this feature of the event, and the result is that practically every poor and destitute family in the city will long have cause to remember the kindness and' favor which will literally be showered upon them before the day comes to a close.

No class of these poor unfortunates has been neglected, and if the preliminary preparations may be taken as a criterion there is no reason why they should not all enjoy 'the time of their lives. In the more prosperous homes the children and their parents who have been impatiently waiting for the day to come will begin its celebration at the first break of dawn. After spending a night made restless by contemplation of the joys that are to come, the younger generation will be wide awake long before their usual time, all anxious to catch the first glimpse of the well stocked trees which have been trimmed during the night by their fond parents. Seizing ther treasures they will proceed to enjoy them to their full extent and if they become too boisterious in their delight no fault will be found. Then will come the more serious features of the day, as filled with the spirit of the occasion their fathers mothers, and erown up brothers and sisters will wend their way to places of worship where they 'will offer up thanksgiving for the favors which have been showered upon them during the year.

It is at dinner, however, that the youngsters will come into their own, and with appetites sharpen ed by the odors from the kitchen they will sit down to the mid day repast, consisting of indespensible turkey: banked with all the delicacies which go to make ud a good old fashioned Christmas feast. With the inner man satisfied the Dlaces of amusement will come next in order, and that the theaters will be crowded both in the afternoon and evening to their full capacity is man ifested by the unprecedented advance sales experienced during the' past few days. Lovers of outdoor sports will swing their skates across their shoulders andhie themselves joyfully to FrothlnshanVs preserves at Rocky Glen, where the first real skating of the season will be inaugurated, while nthers of a more domestic turn of mind will spend the entire day at their homes, satisfied with the pres ence of their friends and relatives and wanting nothing more. There will be a practical cessation of all "forms of business, with the excep tlon of the confectioners, florists and the always open life saving stations. where the cup that cheers will be dispensed to its devotees over the polished bars.

Scores of house parties have been arranged in various parts of the city and a large number of private and public dances will also be enjoyed. The feature of the day, however, wil! be the dinners which are to be served to the poor of the city, and first among these is the feast which is to be served by the Elks at their rooms on Penn ave nue. Here two hundred and fifty of the poor and destitute children of the city will be Inwardly regaled, and af ter their healthy young appetites have been satisfied they will be provided with clothing and other accessories which will greatly aid them in with standing the bitter cold of the winter season. A similar dinner will be provided by the Salvation Army, and through the generous efforts or these practical Christians, aided by an appreciative public, the desolation attendant upon the lives of many unfortunates will give way during the day to a glow of Joy and gratltutde for their benefac tors While there is no general provision for the entertainment of the newsboys, these hard working little lads have not been forgotten by their patrons and there is every Indication that they will fare as well as those for whom dinners have already been provided. In many of the churches throughout the city preparations have been made for catering to the wants of all the poor families that have come to their notice and through the efforts of their hard working members good cheer will be carried into the home of many families to whom Christmas would under other circumstances come as a hollow mockery.

Nor have the inmates of the hospitals and various charitable institutions throughout the city been forgotten. The Board of Charities have amply provided for the wants of the Inmates of the charitable institutions and the friends and relatives of those confined in the hospitals have seen to it that the day will be made as joyful for them as is possible under the existing conditions. At the county Jail the monotonous routine to which the unfortunates are subjected day after day will be somewhat varied by the serving of ah excel lent repast, after which cigars, oranges and other post prandial delights will distributed among the county's guests.

Fines in police court yesterday were influenced by the feeling of "good will to men," whieh Magistrate Kasson seemed to bear towards humanity, and he allowed them to escape on sentences which were lenient, to say the least. It was the day before Christmas.

Andy Farr, of three hundred and forty Gibson street, was the first pris oner. He was arrested and charged with the larceny of a pair of shoes from the store of J. Niman, at two hundred and twenty six Mulberry. It appeared that Farr was sadly in need of a pair of shoe's, but he had not the wherewithal. He entered the shoe store and selected a pair of shoes.

These, he tried on, and while the proprietor was busy with another customer, Farr tried to induce him that Christmas present was in order. Niman didn't see it that way, and Farr took the advantage of the inattendance he was receiving, to make himself scarce, wearing the new shoes. Niman noticed it in time, and chased Farr, catching him and handing him oyer to a policeman. Niman said he would prosecute the case and Farr was held in $300 bail for his appearance at court. Jimmie Cook was the next prisoner.

He is a youngster, not yet in his teens, and he advanced to the bar, winking at the' officers. "What are you here for?" the magistrate asked. "I stole a bicycle," Cook said. Then he realized what he said, and he supplemented no, I didn't steal a bicycle, I only rode one last night without a lamp." That caused the magistrate to smile, and he fined the prisoner one dollar. Tommie Morris, who will be ten years old today, was arraigned for stealing a whistle.

He had a lot of Christmas toys in his pockets, but said that his companions stole them and al lowed him to experience the pleasure of holding them. The magistrate de cided his case, and will inform the child's parents. Garfield Jones, who says he lives on Harrison avenue, was arrested early yesterday morning carrying a gum machine under his arm. He acted suspiciously, and sneaked into Railroad alley. He was arrested and locked up in the central police station.

It was learned that the gum ma chine was the property of the Pulver Cocoa and Gum Machine company, and was rented to Thomas Miles, of two hundred and nine Lackawanna avenue The contents, including the money of the machine, were still ntact. With Jones, at the time lie was arrested, were two companions, but they es caped. Yesterday afternoon he was arraigned before the magistrate and held in $300 bail for his appearance at court to answer the charge of larceny. BUM "There goes a man who Is busy booking dates."

DICKENSON'S 1836 38 40 N. Main Ave. PROVIDENCE. BLAZE AT OLYPHAHT Serious Fire Destroys Business Block Owned hy William Goodman on Lackawanna Street. CHILDREN IN BUILDING Olyphant was visited by a disastrous fire last nigtyt which completely destroyed the valuable brick business block owned by William Goodman on Lackawanna street, and nearly resulted in the death of his twin children, who were rescued from the burning building only by the most desperate efforts of the firemen.

The building, which was of comparatively repent construction, was occupied on the first floor by Mr. Goo'dman as a liquor store and by Mr. Friedman as a clothing and dry goods store. At 8:30 o'clock flames were discovered issuing from the cellar and when the local fire department arrived on the scene the fire, had gained such headway that a call for assistance was sent out to the neighboring boroughs. When it became known that Mr.

Goodman's children were inside the building, the large crowd that had collected became panic stricken and Implored the firemen to rescue them from the terrible death which appeared imminent. The firemen proved themselvs equal to the hazardous task, and as the children were brought safely to the ground the spectators greeted the brave act by a spontaneous outburst of applause. The department then devoted its attention entirely to the burning struc ture, ibut notwithstanding their desperate work the flames continued to spread furiously. At this juncture the fire companies began arriving from Dickson, Peckville and Jessup and with their assistance the local firemen renewed their efforts. It soon beoame apparent, however, that the building and its contents were doomed and the fire fighters directed their efforts towards saving the Taylor, Spitz and Stone buildings, which stood close by.

For a time it appeared as if the fire would also spread to these structures, but by the hardest kind of work this danger was averted and at 10 o'clock the flames were completely brought under control. The building was erected in 1900, and was valued approximately at $20, 000. It was built entirely of brick, seventy five feet in width and fifty feet In depth. The origin of the fire is enshrouded in much mystery, its only inmates at the time tho fire started being sMr. Goodman 's children.

Mrs. Goodman was visiting friends at Throop during the evening, while Mr. Goodman, who had been left In charge of the house, was absent when tho flames were first discovered. The structure was entirely gutted from roof to cellar and the stocks owned by Messrs. Friedman and Goodman were totally destroyed.

It was said last nij ht that the building and Its contents were insured to their full value and that the financial loss would be' slight. The burning structure presented a remarkable appearance when the flames were at their height, casting a lurid glow upon the section of the borough in which it is located and creating the Impression from a distance that the Are was much more serious in its dimensions. Had it not been for the opportune arrival of the neighboring companies the flames would have undoubtedly spread to the adjoining buildings and been far more serious in their consequences. Neither Messrs. Goodman nor Friedman was able last night to furnish an estimate of their losses.
