TBI IlIl'OllT gOB THE YMH
liuring the year just brought to a close,
the Scranton Voting Men's Christian as
sociation has lived, moved and had its
being without any special or wonderful
happenings. Work in ite various depart
ments has been prosecuted quietly, but we
stuck efllcleutly, along old lines, and some
new onef, and the blessing of God has
rested upon all efforts made by the board
of management, its secretaries and its
coin mtttees.
It has been a year of peace. The praver
of the Psalmist, "Peace Be Within Thy
Walls," has been abuudantly answered of
(.iod, even If the prosperity for which He
prayed has not beeu as fully realized as
we might have wished, but no iar has dis
turbed the bsrinony which ought to ob
j tain in a Christian association, and the
message which we have beard from the
beginning that we should love one an
other we have tried to heed and obey, and
I us a coatequer.ee the service hus been a
delight, and only a delight because of
Christian sympathy and fellowship.
It has beeu a vear of activity. At no
I tinie during your president's memory has
j the buildup been more frequented, or its
i facilities more largely used. On account.
' piisiiply, of 1 he prevailing dullness in busi-
u-s arid consequent lack of empioymeut.
I our rooms have beeu thronged as never
belore, the daily average of attendance
I b-ing 4 03.
1'he budding has demonstrated its use-
Inlness ss never belore, and many a young
niau far from home has found a cordial
irreetlug, a hearty hand shake, and a com
fortable place to rest or study, otherwise
impossible to him. Vou will agree with
me that ours is the most eoamonoliran
' buildlug iu our city wheu 1 suggest that
some thirteen organizations religious,
I commercial, charitable and musical center
in and call it home, and in general such
accommodation le entirely free. The daily
attendance at the reading room ulone has
been 31o. Who can estimate the value of
such a place, under sfich influences, in a
city where bud places and bad influences
fboondt
IDtOaTRHl work.
A word as tn the educational work oT
the year. We have undertaken awl car
ried on u more extended work in this di
rection than usual. The execllent work
on edui'aib.iinl lin.a pursued in other years
has suggested greatur possibilities, there
beiug ii limit, excepting lack of means
and facilities. Teachers can be had, stu
dents are willitigand anxious to be taught,
and it has seemed to be the word of tbe
Lord that we go forward in this direction.
We Und thut neAriy 7.1 er cent, of those
a'tending our classes came Into tbe asso
ciation expressly because of educational
opportunities, it is a nappy omen and a
prophecy of good of onr city whon its hard
working .voting men spend their evenings
in etudy and self -imnro vent. I am glad to
iage this public opportunity to thank the
faitblul men who, tt personal sacrifice,
have made onr educational work possible
and profit able by giving of lime and taleut
iu this service. 1 would respectfully refer
to the excellent report of our secretary for
statistics concerning this department.
Wo are fortunate In our physical d ipart
ment. Director Weston is a man for the
time and for the place. Good influences
and good order go hand in hand in our
gymnasium, and, so far as possible, with
the equipment at hand, notniug but the
best work is done. The daily average of
visitors to tbis department is over one
hundred and forty, and ninety men take
daily exercise During the year bath
moms have been improved and extended,
and orders have been given for larger
heating capacity. The bathing depart
ment is now as It should be. Une improve
ment In thn gymnasium proper is urgently
needed, and that is the removal of tbe
pillars wbicn obstruct and Interfere, and
thould be replaced with a system of truss
support for the hall above, thus leaving
the whole room free from obstruction.
Tbe out-door (port so pleasant an ud
jutict to tbe Work of tills department were
particularly successful and pleasing last
suiiiiuer, and lnrge plans are iu the mind
and fin the heart of our director for the
coming season. The lack of a good athletic
field near by and under onr own control is
seriously felt.
SOCIAL WOIIK PONE.
The social work has been under the di
rection of a most excellent reception com
mittee, who have used hospitality without
grudging, aud who found exercise in the
happy urt of entertaining and thus have
learned how to do go id and to communi
cate. Here is an open door for our agree
able young men, which caunot be dosed
while a stranger stands outside awaiting
an invitation c come In and participate in
our pleasant things.
Five grand social receptions have been
given with an average attendance of Bf.s
in addition to numerous Informal gather
ings of which no reoord of attendance has
been kept.
But after all, the religious or spiritual
side of onr work is of prime importance,
and it gives me great satisfaction to note
that that side has been kept most plainly
in view.
lbs gospel meetingi Sunday afternoons
have beeu well attended, and the Word
has been proclsimed with earnestness and
Hdelity. This department has, of course,
been under the direct cou'rol of the g-u
ersl secretary, who has .mind 01 her good
and true yoke fellows to assist him. Iu
these afternoon meetings fifty-four young
men have been led to Inquire the way. and
of these, twenty-nine give good evidence
of change or heart, over B7,(XI0 iarvita
tioos to these meeting have beeu dis
tributed.
1 am glad to mention tbe secretary's
Bible class as a very successful and ds
lightful gathering tor Bible study. 1 un
1 chased a Bible student's outfit, and the
1 effect upon ail bar besn in tbe direction
of careful und prayerful searching after
Uospul truth.
I uls take pleasure in acknowledging
th services of Professor M..rgau and his
corps of siugers, Who have aid I in ini.k
it g more attractive the social and relig
lottS exerci-es ol the year, and to those
women who have labored with us in the
gospel by aiding in our receptious and the
s cial lite of our association grace mercy
and peace from Ood nud many thanks
from the president and inauugers of our

In regard to the financial support so ab

GAPITALISTs'lN THE CITY,
They Examined Land Up the Valley
with Evident Intention of Making'
Electric Road Extensions.
Saturday there arrived in this city a
party of. Philadelphia cipitalists inter
ested in the Scranton and Carhondale
fraction company. Dnriug their stay
here they ex mimed much of the terri
tory lying between the two j. outs of
electric railway extension between the
two cities. Late Saturday afternoon
some of tbe gentlemen were conducted
by Lieutenant Governor Watres over
the territory lying between this city
and Pittston, through which the
Scranton and Pittston Traction com
pany holds franchise.
Alfred N, Ciun Her, W. T. Tien,
and A. S. Chandler, of Philadelphia;
Dr. J. P. Eldridge an 1 K. E. Thatcher,
of West Chester, cjmposed the pirty
of visitors.
It can positively be stated that work
will soon be commenc d by the
Scranton and Pittston Traotion com-
piny in exiendiug electrical lines un 1 r
us franchises to Pittston. However
Lieutenant Governor Watree is the
TrIBUNE'9 authority that the visiting
capitalists are not interested iu tbe
latter project.
Work will begin simnlUneously, or
nearly so, on the lm-.s lending from
Tavlor and Green woo I. As fast ns the
lines are exteuded they will b operat
ed by the Sc-anton Traclion company.
which holds a long term letse from the
Scranton and Pittston Traction com
pany to operate Its lines.
Lieutenant Governor Wstres stil
that by fill this eity an 1 Pittston will
be connected and cars running b 'tween
the two pelnts
Regarding immediate electric rail
road connection with Carbondale noth
ing can be dvfinitely stated beyond the
fact that the Capitalist, whose names
are mentioned above, visited this rity
aud inspected carefully the Intervening
territory. What their conclusion WM
will develop later.
Two of the party called upouG n

Archer stated to a TltlBUNE reporter
last night that the Scranton TfaOtioO
