We say of a man that he Is able to do thus and so. I heard a mere boy a few days ago deliver a magnificent oration that occupied half an hour of time, and he swayed an audience of 3,000 people like a master of the platform. We can know but comparatively little of the wonderful machinery of the mind, yet It Is possible to measure a man by his mind, and there has been Invented a delicate instrument that is said to record the duration of a thought.

Councilman Louis Hcineman, of the Fourth ward, has preferred counter charges against Stanley Abramawicz, of North Main street, who had the former held under bail a few days ago on the charge of felonious wounding. Lrfist Monday Heineman and Abramawicz quarreled and an assault followed. In which Abramawicz was cut upon the cheek. It was this that brought about the first arrest ahd the holding of the councilman for court. Mr. Heineman then appeared before Alderman Beynon and had three warrants Issued for Abramawicz, charging him with assault and battery, selling liiiuor on Sunday and surety of the peace. At the hearing the alderman held Abramawicz under $500 ball on each charge. Max Connar, who formerly con' ducted a butcher shop on South idain street and who lately has been doing a wholesale live stock business, lost two horses yesterday. He was on a business trip to Old Forge and left his horses standing outside a store while he went inside. On? of the animals became frightened at something and the team started off at a rapid pace. As they neared the Lackawanna river the horses swerved from the road and ran over an embankment SO feet high. They fell into the river and the wagon landed partly on top of them. One of the horses instantly, being pierced by the wagon pole and the other was so badly injured that It was necessary to shoot it. The wagon wascompletely wYecked. Mr. Connar purchased one of the horses yesterday. He considers himself fortunate, however, that his little son was not along with him, as he usually takes him on his trips. NO COMFORT FOR CZAR. SERVICE AND SUPPER. TOWN WAS WIPED OUT NO NEED FOR SECRECY. "But man Is more than a physical and mental being. He is all this, plus a moral side, and ho must be measured from the moral standard. He has the capacity to adjust himself to questions of right and wrong. We measure a man by the moral standard and - hold him strictly to ac» count for what he does. Courts of equity are established all over this land to uphold this principle. We measure a man by his moral standard and obligation. He has a spiritual aspiration. He lives In another realm, a higher life, and he becomes a master of that which is beneath him. We judge men by what they are and what they do. A man of God, such as Is referred to in the text, seeks to acquaint himself with God, and then to walk accordingly, (regardless of what anybody says or thinks. The man of God is honest, upright and desires the best for the home and community. He will make that home or that community or that organization better tor having been connected with it. Saul was from his shoulders up greater than any other man In Israel. David was but a lad when he met the giant Goliath. Men are great as they conceive truth and right and then stand by them. The men whose names are imperishable are those who wrought for righteousness, for their fellowman. So we are exhorted to come to the fullness of the stature of Christ—a perfect man. Newspapers Call for Court Knights Templar of Three Five Hundred Houses Destroyed in Scutari. Names of Vessels Lost Since Martial of Officers. Towns Participate. the War Began. The celebration of Ascension Day by the Knights Templar of Plttston, Tunkhannoek and Wllkesbarre, last evening, was a most creditable event. For a number of years, the Sir Knlglits of Wyoming Valley, Temple and Dleu le Veut commnnderies have joined In an observance of this holy day, each oommandery, in Its turn, making the arrangements. It was Wyoming Valley Commandery's turn this year, and the arrangements for the celebration were most complete thanks to the excellent committee li charge, which was composed of J. C Klpp, O. A. Wilde, T. C. Nattrass, T W. Kyte and It. J. Armstrong. ThC members of the visiting commander les arrived in the city early In thC evening, the Wllkesbarre Knights ar riving by way of the Laurel Line anC the Tunkhannoek Knights coming t« the city on Lehigh Valley trains.

Scutari, Albania, June 2.—Reports received here in regard to the earthquake which occurred yesterday In Montenegro say that a great deal of damage was done. Over 500 houses were destroyed and In the neighborhood of 200 persons were killed or injured. There were two distihet shocks, and they were felt all over Montenegro. St. Petersburg, June 2.—St. Petersburg Is full of rumors of the most contradictory character regarding the prospects of peace, but In the best informed quarters it is said that no definite decision had been reached. Nevertheless it is persistently reported that an Imperial manifesto may be expected within a brief time. Tokyo, June 2.—The Japanese losses In the battle of the sea of Japan were 113 officers and men killed and 424 officers. and men wounded. The completion of the revised list shows that the losses were fewer than the original estimates. The flagship Mikasa was the heaviest loser, «3 being killed and wounded. Taxes.

JOYCR, The ministers who went to the council at Tsarskoe-Selo on Thursday were so expectant of immediate action that the editor of the Official Messenger was instructed to hold his forms open for an important announcement, but at the last moment the editor was informed that this announcement was not yet ready. Again at night the manifesto was expected, but at 2 o'clock this morning the editor of the Official Messenger learned that no announcement had been made. Scutari, Albania, June 2.—This town was almost wiped out of existence by the earthquake. Hundreds of houses were wrecked, and a panic prevails among the people, who are fleeing from the destroyed towns. Last night hundreds of people slept outside the town In the open air, many of them having lost their homes, while others were afraid to return to the town. The losses were distributed among the ships as follows: Mikasa, 03; Adzuina, 39; Saikishima, 37; Asashl, 31; Fuji, 28; Idzuma, 20; Nisshin, 27; Otawa, 20; Kasaga, 20; Tsushima, 19; Asama, 15; Naniwa, 17; Tokiwa, 15; Ynkttmo, 11; Chitose, 0; Idzumi, 10; Kasuga, 0; Hashidate, 5; Nlitaka, 4.

The navy department gives out the following report from Admiral Togo: Did in Scranton. saic, N. J. This manifesto, it Is credibly reported, will proclaim the immediate con. vocation of a national assembly, to which the question of peace or war will be submitted, thereby shifting the burden of a decision from the shoulders of the emperor to the whole nation, robbing agitators of the opportunity to make revolutionary capital out of the decision whichever way it may be taken. About seven o'clock, the members of the three eommanderles assembled at Masonic Hall, and soon afterward, headed by the Leek Cornet Rand, marched to the West Pittston Methodist Church, where the celebration was held. The Knights presented a fine appearance, all being attired In full uniform, and the scene at the church as the procession drew up, with the band playing the stirring strains of "Onward, Christian Soldiers." was a most Inspiring one.

" John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, spent the first day of his present visit to the anthracite region in a quiet manner. After arriving in Scranton yesterday morning, and renewing acquaintanceships during the morning, ho busied himself with his correspondence for a time and at 4 o'clock entered Into a conference with the three district presidents at his hotel, the Schadt. The meeting lasted until just about 6 o'clock, and at its conclusion Mr. Mitchell was found by press men busy with his correspondence. He spoke freely of the meeting just concluded, saying that it was held for the purpose of arranging plans for the mass meetings and discussing the general anthracite outlook. Mr. Mltcholl said he did not know how long ho would bo in Scranton, but would remain until after the meeting of the executive committee of the American Federation of Labor, in Scranton, on June 17. Speaking of the general condition of the mine workers' organization he said that It Is gaining strength every day, that it is stronger than ever before and that, while there has been a falling off in membership In some regions, it has been more than retrieved in other districts. In all the anthracite districts encouraging gains are being made. Mr. Mitchell is not anticipating any trouble at the end of the present term of agreement, but ho is nevertheless in strong favor of having a powerful organization as a preventative. SPECIAL NOTICES.

"The armored cruisers Admiral Nakhimoff and Vladimir Monomach, after being in the general engagement during the daytime, were still further damaged by torpedoes during attacks by night and were eventually completely disabled.

The crews of our auxiliary cruisers rescued 015 of the crews of the sunken Russian ships. New Legislative Organism. On account of the imperative haste for the summoning of an assembly for this purpose it would be necessary to postpone the convocation of a permanent zemsky sobor which was contemplated in the emperor's ukase of March but It is probable that the first assembly will bo able to take part In a constitutional convention and give advice as to the ultimate form of a new legislative organism. Although many ladles and other friends of the commanderles had assembled in the church previous to the arrival of the commanderles. space had been reserved In the front of the church for the Knights and they were seated together. The pulpit platform was handsomely decorated with palms. At the left of the platform stood the Stars and Stripes, while at the right was the banner of Wyoming Valley Commandery. BICYCLES After the choir had sung "Coronation," the audience was dismissed, "while the Knights and their ladies repaired to the Sunday school room, where the banquet was served. An arrangement had been made with the Ladies' Aid Society of the church to furnish the banquet, and it is needless to say that the ladies took care of their part in a splendid manner. The banquet tables were prettily docorated with flowers, and the Stars and Stripes were a conspicuous feature.

This meeting will be of particular interest on account of the presence of Mr. Mitchell, the three district presidents and National Organizer McCullough. It is not likely that these officers will be together at any other meeting in any of the districts. The Throop meeting on June 17 will also prove very interesting, owing to the fact that, in addition to Mr. Mitchell, Samuel Gompers, the president of the A.

The preacher said: "To measure is to compute or ascertain the exact quantity, quality, capacity or dimensions hy applying a rule or standard of comparison. With this definition In mind let us proceed to apply It to our subject, man. There are four standards to be used; First, that which governs the physical.

According to a dispatch from P.aron Ferzen, the commander of the cruiser Izumrud, the battleships remaining in the fight were still In squadron formation when he was cut off, and this increases the deep resentment felt here at the surrender of the ships, the Novoe Vremya even declaring that the officers ought to be court martialed and shot for hauling down their flags and turning over their ships to the Japanese. The paper cites articles of the naval regulations forbidding a commander to surrender except as a last emergency al ter taking measures to destroy his ship. It points out that it required only the opening of the sea cocks to send the ships to the bottom, by which the crews would be given a good chance of life, and cites the example of the cruiser Iturik of the Vladivostok squadron, which nfter the fight with Admiral Kamimura In August last went down heroically with colors flying.
