C. SHAFER'S ADDRESS Gave tbe First of a Series Last Night. Christ as Seen and Known by a Business Man He as Well as Members Are Called to be Saints An Honest Career the Most Successful. Rev. J.

S. Eallentine, rector of Christ church, Washington avenue, has arranged an innovation of a practical nature in connection with the Lenten services at his church by inviting well known business men to deliver addresses on Sunday evenings on subjects of every day interest. The first of the series of addresses was given last night by Mr. H. C.

Shafer, of the Soranton Savings bank, who spoke upon the subject, "Christ as Seen and Known by a Business Man." The address was interesting and instructive, owing to the practical. manner in wmcn ine lessons were ae veloped. From a study of the life of Christ, said Mr. Shafter, it would be seen that he was in all things eminently practical. He was practical in his selection of apostles, who were men of varied talent and occupation.

Tney were men of the people and were practical types of the Christian of today. Speaking of the characteristics of some of the apostles, he referred to the Impulsive and vacillating Peter, who, after the day of Pentecost, was the most staple and faithful of all the apostles. SUCCESSFUL. BUSINESS MAN, If Christ had been a business man he would have been eminently success ful. His method of doing business would have been scrupulous.

We fre quently hear men, remarked Mr. Shafer, saying that they cannot be successful by applying the golden rule, Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you; but give two men the same ability, one using the successful business methods as known in the world and the other using the rules of the New Testament, the latter would undoubtedly have the greater success. The ambition to be rich and the eagerness for gain are traits of character which lead a man to sell 1950 pounds for a ton, and to adulterate sugar with sand, and to charge ten per cent, when six per cent, is the legal rate of interest. It also induces them to take advantage of unfortunate people by some technicality of law. All such conduct received a scathing denunciation from Christ.

MR. SHELDON'S EFFORT. At this point Mr Shafer read Mr. Robert C. Ogden's opinion of Rev.

Mr. Sheldon's effort in conducting a religious daily newspaper. He said: "The principles of the New Testament seem to be possible and the only principle upon which a business can be equitably conducted Every business not car Tied on in harmony with the teaching of the New Testament has no right to exist." Any legitimate business, said Jar. Shafer, can stand this test. Christ was punctilious In his observance of the civil and ecclesiastical laws, as was Illustrated by his instructions to Peter at Capernaum.

His sympathy was also practical, as was evidenced by his feeding the five thousand on the hillside with a few loaves and fish, and his raising to life the widow's son, as well as his sympathy with Martha and Mary. Mr. Shafer then pointed out that Christ had the same sympathy for the business man not only in his struggle with sin, but during his daily work, his difficulties and his discourage ments. He believed that the praying man or business man who neglected Christ's presence, His wisdom or His help, would find that things would not go as smoothly as if he had the en couragement and help of Christ in his daily work. He also dwelt upon the marvelous love of Christ; how it reached down to depths almost immeasurable and lifted from the lowest the most degraded man and made him a beautiful Christian.

Christ was also a leader and his command, "Follow Me," Mr. Shafer, in an Instructive manner, made an application of this command to the various trades and professions, show' ing how the plumber, carpenter, et al. could follow Christ by honest work, faithful performance of duty and integrity. This, he said, was what Christ meant when He said, "Follow Me." CALLED TO BE SAINTS. "Business men," said Mr.

Shafer, significantly, "are called to be saints as much as the ministers of the gospel." This was aptly Illustrated by St. Paul's words, "Now ye are ambas sadors for Christ." He pointed out the duties of an ambassador, how as a representative, he was delegated with powers from his country to a foreign nation, and that upon his conduct depended the honor or disgrace of his country. Business men, likewise, as ambassadors of Christ, must measure up to the best of their ability and use every opportunity to show Christ to the world. Concluding, Mr. Shafer read Romans ltMth to 8th verse, as the best guide In doing this.

TIN PLATE PLANT It Is Expected Tbat Work on It will Soon be Commenced. The establishment of a tin plate plant In Scranton will probably be accomplished before the balmy days of summer are here. Mr. Torbet and the gentlemen who have associated themselves with him in the movement for the promotion of thta particular industry, are confident thta they can commence work soon. AH the capital stock, with but a small exception has been subscribed and at a meeting of those interested, held recently, plans for a speedy com.

mencement were discussed. WOMAN UNDER ARREST Was Plced lp by Mrs. Diiggau but Charge Entered. Kllen Baker, a comely young woman, who admits that her age is 24 years and her home Nicholson, Is under arrest at police headquarters, having been picked up by Officer Neuls and Mrs. W.

B. Duggan, She is the same woman who created stir, about six weeks ago, by abandoning her baby on the South Side for which she was arrested at the time. The child was 'taken away from her and eventually sent to its father, where it now is, and she was fined heavily. The woman was arrested at the instance of Mrs. Duggan, but the blotter shows no specific charge against her and the cause of her arrest is not known.

PLUMBING BILL TONIGHT Board orrontrol will Hear Peport aardlutt No. liulldlti. The board of control will meet to night and the meeting gives promise of being decidedly interesting. There will be several imuortant committee per 1 THE SCRANTON REPUBLICAN, MONDAY, MARCH 26, 1900. reports as to the estimates of the expenses of the district for another year.

Perhaps the most important report is the one the building. committee will make reparding the plumbing at No. 35 school, for which over $700 was chaTged. When the job, which was not ordered by the board, was first completed, it was condemned by Plumbing Inspector O'Malley. When the bill came before the board.

Engineer Harris was directed to make an examination the work and Teport on it. i When the report came before the board at the last meeting its tenor was hidden from the public, a motion to refer ti to the committee, without reading, being carried. The committee will present ita report tonight SPRING BIRDS AT NAY AUG PARK. Harbingers of the Warm Months Have Arrlved A Sure Indication That the Cold Weather Is Fairly Well Over. Superintendent Phillips, of Nay Aug Park, says the spring birds are begin ning to be seen and heard about the park, and he regards this as a safe and sure indication that cold and winter weather is pretty well over.

To a lover of birds March is an interesting month. It is the ornithological link between the seasons. The winter birds still linger, while the more venturesome migrants from the South take the risk of meeting snow storms and cold snaps. The blue birds, the robins, the black birds, the larks and the song sparrows all begin to show themselves about this time. They need no description, for they are as well known as the sun and sky themselves.

On, such bright days as yesterday they dan now be seen in frequent numbers in the thick woods, where they find a safe retreat from the blustering winds and low temperature that now and then come along as reminders that the inclement season has not wholly departed. There were quite a number of visitors at the park yesterday, parties strolling out In the afternoon just to see if any changes had taken place in the attractive public resort since the close of the season last fall. There is still plenty of snow about the fields and along the banks, but it is going fast. The zoo collection is all right the different ones of the feathered and furred families having wintered well. It is supposed work on the proposed improvement of the park will be start ed upon now very soon.

PURCHASE MONEY $650,000 Providence Gas and Water Company Absorbed by the Scranton Company Which Now Controls the Supply of the Entire City Details of the Transaction A Communication on the Financial Features. As exclusively announced in yester day's Republican the Scranton Gas and Water company has purchased the Providence Gas and Water company and it is understood that the property will be paid for in bonds at the rate of $2 for $1 of stock. The capital stock of the Providence Gas and Water com pany amounts to $325,000.

The pur chase thus involves Two thirds of the stock of the Provi dence company was held by the Dela ware, Lackawanna and Western com pany and the Delaware and Hudson railroad company or their representa tives. The remaining one third; it is understood, was held by Mr. F. M. Vandling and Mr.

C. S. Weston, the latter representing the heirs of the Weston estate. Mr. E.

E. Loomis, su perlntendent of the mining depart ment of the Delaware. Lackawanna and Western company is the president of the company and plans were recently formulated for extensive im provements in the watershed, owing to the complaints that the supply was contaminated. As a result of the agl tation in Green Ridge, President Loomis, three months ago, made arrangements with the Scranton Gas and Water company for a temporary supply while the Improvements could be effected. Since that time seven wells have been sunk in the watershed each giving a copious supply of ex cellent water and the eighth was be ing constructed until operations were abandoned upon the transfer of the property.

Under the arrangement be tween the two companies all the terri tory of the Providence company, east of the Lackawanna river, has been supplied by the Scranton company since January. Now that the latter company has ac quired the interests of the Providence organization, it will control the water supply of the entire city. The Scranton company alone has a supply ample for a city of 500,000 in habitants, the storage capacity of its reservoirs being 2,741,700,000 gallons, which does not include the reservoirs at Elmhurst. Tbe Latest Water Deal. For The Republican, I notice by your today's Sunday Republican that th 6cranton Gas and Water company has absorbed the Providence Gas and Water company, paying therefor In five per cent bonds for $325,000 of stock.

This guarantees ten per cent Interest upon the par value Investment of the stockholders of the Providence Gas and Water company, a rate of interest never paid its stockholders by the Providence company, its last dividends having been only four per cent, Its highest dividend having been only eight per cent and its average return of profit to Its shareholders since ita organization being below six per cent. While those fortunate persons are luxuriating in the profits of their ten per cent investment 1 suppose the Scranton Gas and Water company's stockholders will have to go without any dividends upon their investments. The Scranton Gas and Water company is only paying two per cent dividends to its stockholders. The reason given for this beggarly return for use of their money is, that the companv has a floating debt of $100,000, which must be paid in order to release its man agement from endorsements, before a larger dividend than two per cent a year will be paid. The spectacle of a two per cent pay ing stock being loaded down with of five per cent bonds, thereby bestowing a largesse of ten per cent to a one horse water comnanv in Razorville is financial gymnastics not received with hilarity by one of the SCRANTON GAS AND WATER COM VANX'S STOCKHOLDERS.
