WAY THEY ARE SUPPORTED. Mrs. Hackley supports the Archbald, West Side, Adams avenue chapel and Illdge schools; Simpson & Watkins the Northwest school, the Central Kinder garten, training school and. Jewluh synagogue school are' maintained by the association and about all of them owe their creation to the association. As Indicated by President Holland, who presided, the well-to-do city churches, excepting St. Luke's Episco pal church, the Jewish synagogue and the Second Presbyterian church, have done nothing toward aiding the work, although the promoters had expected long ago that the more prominent churches would at least tender tho use of school rooms If nothing rriore. St. Luke's Episcopal church was not only among the first to realize the value of the kindergarten as an Ideal charttcter bullder for the young, but it has estab lished and conducts several Independ ent kindergarten schools. The Jewish people give the use of a school room In the synagogue on Linden street and are by subscription and by Individual aid among the most hearty supporters of the association. The Second Presby terian church gave the use of Its Ad ams avenue chapel. The paper of Miss Underwood was quite an exhaustive one and reviewed the work of all the schools. It revealed the cosmopolitan and In many cases non-English speaking elements reached by tho kindergartens and their influ ence for good npt only upon little chil dren, but through them to their pa rents. Tho six schools operated by the association had an average dally attendance of 244 during the year. The assembly hall wherein tho meet ing was held was splendidly decorated with cut and potted flowers and con tained an Interesting display of the work ot kindergarten pupils; Addressed by Mr. Crlitenton. Charles N. Crlttenton addressed the Pastors' union at their meeting In Young Men's Christian association hall yesterday morning. He urged their co- operation In the work he l engaged Iri here. The union will not hold another meeting until September. FOUR HAD NO TAX RECEIPTS. Those Uxnmlncd Vcstcrdny llcloro tho Contest Commissioners.

Select Councilman C P. Wagner Pays Ills Respects to the Member from tbe Second. There wns an exceedingly lively tilt at last night's meeting of the auditing committtee between C. F. Wagner, the select councilman from tho Tenth ward and AVade Finn, the smooth-tongued senator from the Second. The trouble nro3o over an article that appeared In' Saturdays Republican purporting to b a report of a caucus held by the Republican select councllmen in the county commissioners' ofllce last Thursday night. The report in ques tion contained a malicious attack on Colonel E. H. Ripple. Mr. Wagner charged Mr. Finn with having Inspired the article which ho said was a gross perversion ot the truth. Not only had he (Finn) vio lated confidence by disclosing what had been decided upon at the caucus but to gratify a personal spite ho had Invented falsehoods and supplemented them with a gross distortion of tho actual facts. This drew forth a spirited denial from Finn who had become much ex cited under Wagner's scathing denun ciation of his conduct. In his dilem ma Finn said that If anyone Inspired the article In question It was Wagner and that the latter displayed a good deal of nerve In accusing him, ond Wade actually looked offended. This was so droll that the committee men laughed and Morgan Sweeney almost fell out of his chair. "You're a liar" was the prompt reply of Wagner when Finn hud finished his protest and he added that the ability of the gentleman from the Second to pervert the truth amounted to a posi tive genius. Thl3 Finn denleJ, more harsh words followed on both sldos and then mem bers of the committee Interfered and peace wa restored for the time being. The auditing committee passed upon a number of bills, among them some for the Twelfth ward contest. They were In several amounts with no grand total and were passed without ques tion. The bill of J200 for the electric wiring of the new Nay Aug Hose house was laid over. It Is claim ed that W. P. Conncll & Son, the con tractors, have not completed tho work. The switch which' connects tho house clock Is Imperfect. SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS. They Will rieot Tonight in tho First Presbyterian Church.

Charles W. Crlttenton, the evangelist, held tho first of the series of meet ings he Is to conduct In this city In the Simpson Methodist Episcopal church on the West Side last night. Tho large auditorium was crowded. A selection by the church choir opened tho meeting after which a collection for the Florence mission, of this city, was taken up. After another selec tion by the choir, Frank Wallace, tho gospel singer, who accompanies Mr. Crlttenton, rendered a selection In a pleasing tenor voice. The evangelist was Introduced by Rev. J. B. Sweet, pastor of the church. Mr. Crlttenton began by offering a short prayer. He said that the purpose of his speaking was to draw their at tention 16 the message of Christ for his brethren giving as his Inspiration the words of Paul recorded In the eighth chapter of the second Epistle to tho Corinthians, first and second verses. His talk was based upon the words of Matthew twenty-ninth chap ter and part of the twenty-eighth verse: "Go work today in my vine yard." "You will notice," said he, "the very frequent occurrence of the word 'come' in the Word of God. It Is found there in nineteen hundred times. Well, this Is the message 'come.' Everywhere. God says come. Come all ye that are weary and are burdened, and I will give ye rest. 'Come, ealth the Spirit; and to night I bring you all the blessed In vitation to come and enjoy the ful ness of God's mercy nnd love. He does not confine the call to any Individual. He wants whole families and when a heart does receive him wholly, He en ters Into entire possession. These changes are sudden and full. If you really and truly deslro God, Just ask Him to take you. Lift up your heart to Him In prayer and how qulclky your burden will go and great peace will All your soul. RECEIVED A LETTER. "Why ten years ago I received a letter from a woman, who resided In the upper portion of New York city, which said 'Come and see me." I had been praying for that woman for three years, and at last the change had come. Today that woman Is doing great good. She lives on Long Island, and with her husband, converted through her ef forts, labors for the blessed Lord, who gave her peace. "Now, there Is no locality, no person, no separate condition to receive this call. It Is world-wide. For you, for me and for all. At any time, In any place, under nny condition. Do not forget that you cannot separate your self from this word. It Is everywhere and Is above, all things else. ! remem ber going to a place where three Sal vation Army lassies were speaking and I shall never forget them as they ex horted and told tho story of redemp tion. These three Women had been ar rested and while In Jail they had com posed a hymn to the tune "I am a Child of a King" and they Joined hands and sang this song. I will sing It to you, but you could never have forgot ten the moment had you been there and heard It as I did. '"Then if you come to God, He will show you how to occupy your new life and will give strength and power. Come and then go! Go work today In my vineyard. He will never forsake His own. 'Lo I am with you alwayl' Lis ten to the value placed upon souls by God. Men do business on a monetary basis and profits and loss are consid ered, but God says, 'what shall It profit a man if he gain the whole yorld, and lose his own 60ul.' GIVEN A CLEAN HEART. "In going Into the 'vineyard' you re ceive all due preparation. You are given a clean heart and you are to go forth with a smiling countenance and full of Joy. I never appear before an audience with a long face, but feeling as I do how good God has been to me and knowing that He Is ever with me, I feel like singing His praises and telling His message In a pleasant way. "Now, you all know of the great res urrection made possible by the death of Christ, The Lord was resurrected and said I will come again. Are you pre pared to meet Him? To you, who have received the message, I would say do not fall to be thankful. Ask your God to protect and defend you. Every morning jeturn praise for your protec tion during the night and ask for care In the daytime. "Give of your time means and talents. Do every service for the Master you can and yours will not be like unto the boy or girl whom I will picture to you. They live and grow In the lap of lux ury, nothing they desire is kept from them. All pleasure Is theirs and at thirty, forty or so, they come to a final ed of all. Then a retrospect Is made and what Is there to recall, nothing? Oh! do not turn from the message for It Is your and you cannot avoid it and be saved. "I was given peace of bou! over four teen years .ago and wouldn not go back for the world's wealth. I was a busi ness man of success, had everything I wanted and yet I was tired, sick and discouraged. The thirst of Increase, gain was upon me. I always wanted and I got more. Then, when death would have been welcome, the thought came to me, 'Get God!' and I got Him and now I want every one who has not found this blessed peace to come and receive. 'Come' and then go work to day In my vineyard." At the close of Mr. Crlttenton's talk a short revival and prayer service was held. Mr. Crlttenton Is a man of com manding figure and forceful manner of speaking. His words, charged with a depth of Intense emotion, flow forth seemingly without effort. They force conviction upon you, uttered as they are, by a sincere man and for every point in his talk ho has a Biblical ex cerpt which he aptly brings Into play. His change from one line of thought to another Is rapid though fully connected and It is almost impossible to fitly de scribe his real ideas until the cllm.ujc, so terse are his expressions. The next meeting will be held at the Providence Methodist Episcopal church this evening. RECEPTION TONIQHT. Will II o Tendered. 'to .Members or Jllodnl of Honor Lotion.

A small boy on. a bicycle so distin guished himself on Lackawanna, ave nue last night that It was necessary for the police to talk to him. The wheelman, age about U yeaTS, did alt sorts of things on his bicycle. f"i fr,,rilfr fnfl( U'na in tsinrl lilrt wheel at full speed and when passing f Wyoming avenue he would rise and, stand on the saddle with Ms arms out stretched In tho air. Flying along In this manner the trickster rode several times from the Wyoming corner to Franklin avenue. The streetB were crowded with vehicles at the time. Tho sidewalks wero lined along the route with spectators of the reckless youngster and his tricks. Another trick of the young rider was to sit across the horizontal bar of the bicy cle, his two legs on one side and his aims swinging In the air on the other and the wheel traveling at a scorch ing speed. Another trick: He would sit on the saddle, give the wheel a good momentum ar.d then lift his body In the air, feet upward nnd his weight resting en his hands clutched to the handle bars. The youngster seemed to dcllgh't In the presence ot tho crowd. The crowd became so troublesome that finally at 10.30 o'clock Patrolman Conrad Marker stopped the boy's per formance. Who ho Is or where he came from In not known. HUSDAND, WIFE, CHILDREN HELD UP.

Kllngle's wife and three chil dren were with him at the time and the men used the vilest of epithets to them. Kllngle made his escape by running and procuring a revolver at his home he returned to the scene of the hold up and llred several shots at the fel lows. None ot the shots took effect.
