Development of the Young Men's
Christian Associations.
THE .PROGRESS IX SCRANTON
' A Brief History of the Orgnnizutlou of
This- Branch of Kvaugclienl Work.
' American Enterprise Compared to
That in Other Countries.'
The first Young Men's Christian ns
eoclutlon wus organized by George
Williams, a dry goods clerk, in London,
June 6, 1S44. The first In this continent
organized on the London basis was
In Montreal Nov. 23, 1S51. The ilrst
In the United States was that organized
in Boston Dec. 2, 1851. Two years later
there were twenty-six associations in
existence. These were culled together
by Rev. William Chauncey Langden,
D. t., then a layman, now a prominent
Episcopal clergymun, and the first step
taken towards the formation of an
effective union. At this time, also, a
correspondence was Initiated which re
sulted in the first conference of the
associations of all lands, in Paris.
Up to the time of the seventh and
Jast convention, which was held in New
Orleans, In April, 1800, the number of
the associations In this country had in
creased to 203. The breaking out of the
rebellion interrupted and changed the
process of the association movement.
A special convention of fifteen asso
ciations was called at New York in the
fall of 1SG1. And at this gathering the
great United States Christian commis
sion was formed, which was afterward
enabled to accomplish so much for the
comfort and relief of soldiers and
prisoners during the cvil war that .it
received the gratitude ancT blessings of
the nation and so impressed the whole
civilized world as to lead to the organi
sation of the International Order of the
Red Crops.
A Remarkable Year.
The year just closed has been a re
markable one In the history of the as
sociation, because of the world-wide
effects of the celebration of the Jubilee
anniversary in London In June last.
. Delegates from all lands gathered by
hundreds, and were entertained by the
city corporation of London, which
voted 3,000 for that object. They were
also received with special marks of
favor by the queen, and during the
progress of the convention George Will
lams, the honored founder of the asso
ciation movement, was knighted by the
queen and hailed by the convention
as "Sir George." Shortly after this
the French government conferred upon
James Stokes, of New York, the decora
tion of Cross of the Legion of Honor
In recognition of his services in promot
ing Young Men's Christian association
work in France. .
' This year also brings reports of the
rapid progress of the movement, not
only In America and Kurope, but In
Japan, India.' Australia and Krazll.
1 But It is In the United States that
the most successful and comprehensive
work Is being done, for, though there
are 5,109 associations In the world and
the United States and Canada possesses
only 1,397 of them, yet these associa
tion possess by fur the greater part
of the financial and numerical strength
of the associations of the world. The
property valuation of these 1,397 asso
ciations is quoted at $17,000,000, and the
membership is 232,653, with a paid force
of' seceretarles numbering over 1,200.
'In addition to thes.8 city associations
there are ninety-eight railroad depart
ments, employing 120 seceretarles; 4o5
college associations with a membership
of 35.000 students. There are also sixty-nine
associations nt work among the
colored men, the Indians and foreign
speaking young men. Chief among
Reading
these are the eleven vigorous associa
tions situated In our larger cities, some
of them possessing handsome buildings
ml a large membership. These asso
ciations maintain over a thousand
reading rooms and libraries In the
promlent cities and towns of the coun
try. ...
More than 300 evening schools, with
S5.000 pupils and. 700 teachers an Im

association, and receiving carelul tul-

The Scranton Association.
The Scranton Young Men's Christian
association was first organized in 1X58,
.vith Joseph A. Scranton as president,
but was not sustained during the war.
It was re-organized In 1868 In the Penn
Avenue Baptist church and Alfred
Hand was elected president. Its first
rooms were furnished In the third story
f 324 Lackawunna avenue and con
sisted of reading room, lecture room
and parlor.
In 1S71 the rooms -were removed to
125 Lackawanna avenue, Exchange
block, where a pleasant parlor and
secretary's oiflce were furnished on the
second floor and a commodious hall on
the third floor.
In 1877 Exchange block was destroyed
by fire and all the accumulations of the
eight years of the association's exlst
mce were consumed. An insurance of
52,000 enabled the association to furnltih
rooms in the Trust company building
on Lackawanna avenue, but the 11
brary and records and museum were
an Irreparable loss.
In 1880 the rooms at 432 Lackawanna
avenue were taken and there the asso'
elation .had Its home until the erection
of the Association building.
The following gentlemen have been
the honored presidents of the associa
tion: In 1869, Hon. Alfred Hand; 1870
1872. Colonel H. M. Boies; 1873, E. B.
Sturges; 1S74, Colonel F. L. Hitchcock;
1875-187G, the late L. B. Powell; 1S77, F.
H. Hitchcock; 187S-1879, James H. Tor
rey; 1SS0-1881. G. F. Reynolds; 1882-1883,
Hon. II. A. Knapp; 1884-1SS8, William
Connell; 1S8S-1SH0, H. M. Roles; 1S91
1S92. W. J. Hand; 1893, still In olllce, A.
W. Dickson.
Since entering the present building
the association has undertaken many
now and Oielpful lines of work, notably
within the past three years, when, un
der the present efficient management,
the gymnasium has become a systema
tic school for body-bulldlng, popular
with the youug men of the city and
largely attended. The most marked
advance In effectiveness, however, has
been In the direction of evening educa
tional work. As Mie record of enroll
ment will show four years apx there
was but forty students enrolled In all
classes; the next year, 93; the next year,
328; and this year, 407.
A recent statistical report shows that
the dally average attendance at the
building by young men Is 492. When
one stops to think how large a body
this really is aud auks himself the queg-
Room. 1
tlon, Where would these hundreds
spend their leisure time If It were not
for the Association building? the value
of the work can readily be seen,
The Hallroad Branch.
No mention of the work In Scranton
would be complete without Including
also the valuable work of the Railroad
association which, though engaged
among a certain class and having a
different building with secretaries of
Its own, Is yet a part of the ofther work,
and under 'the direction of the same
board of management. Taking the
daily attendance of over 600 which this
department reports In addition to 'the
attendance at the central building it
can be seen that nearly 1,000 men are
thus daily furnished with morally help
ful places of resort.

The Empress Elizabeth of Austria was
spending a few days ut Lintz. One morn

a ludy-ln-waitlng. Suddenly it began to
rain, but the empress opened her umbrella
and continued on her wuy. Near the
hamlet of Wlndllngen Bhe noticed a child
who had taken refuge from the storm un
der a great tree. The empress asked the
little one only a few questions about the
neighborhood, and was moving on her
way' when the child asked: "Dear
madam, I beg you to take me under your
umbrella." The request was grunted, and
they marched on toward the vlllagethe
empress asking the girl about her family,
her duties at school, und the people of the
hamlet. When the rain ceased, tho lit

might "not get wet when it rained again."
"But, dear madam," remarked the child,

Her majesty smiled and kissed the girl
good-bye. A few days later she took a
drive in the same direction, and saw the
child parading up and duwn the village

IN THE DARK.
O, In the depths of midnight,
What fancies haunt the brain,
When even the sigh of the sleeper
Sounds like a sob of pain.
A sense of awe and of wonder
I may never well define,
For the sounds that come In the shadowi
Never come in the shine.
The old clock down In the parlor,
Like a sleepless mourner grieves,
And the seconds drip In the silence
As the rain drips from the eaves.
And I think of the hands that signal
The hours there In the gloom
And wonder what angel watchers
Watt in tho darkened room.
And I think of the smiling faces
That used to watch and wait,
Till the click of tho clock was answered
By th. click of the opening gate.
They are not there now In the evening
Morning or noon not there;
Yet I know that they keep their Vigil
And watt for mo somewhere.

What Anti-Toin
Can Accomplish
Method by Which the Life Saving
Scrum Is Secured.
DEVELOPMENT OP THE GERM
A Terrible Foe of Juvenile Humanity May
Be Defied by Prompt Administration
of Anti-Toxln-Fucts About Diph
theria Set Forth.
The decision of the board of health,
of this city, to obtain a qusntlty of antl
toxtti for use In cases of diphtheria has
caused general inquiry as to the nature
of this remedy, which has saved the
lives of so many sufferers from that
dread disease. Many Inquiries have
come to The Tribune asking what the
effect of untl-toxin Is und how it Is ob
tained. If a child has hud diphtheria he Is Im
mune; that is, he will resist the at
tacks of thut disease. How to render
him Immune without sending him the
perilous lengths of an ordinary case of
diphtheria Is the one object of the stu
dents In the field of untl-toxin. And
they have progressed us follows: In
the first place, they must have mime of
the diphtheria germs from the tonsils
of a child actually Buffering from the
disease. These they cultivate. They
are provided with laboratories, and In
them they try to produce precisely the
same conditions as to food material,
moisture and warmth which existed In
the throat of the child. So assisted the
germs develop. Weeks are required to
bring them to the stage desired.
In the development of any kind of a
germ it'ls noticed that after a time
there Is no Increase. They refuse to
spread; there is a stop to their multipli
cation. Maybe it Is the chemical condi
tion which their own presence has
created. Whatever It Is there Is in the
substance on which they have been liv
ing a condition precisely similar to
that reached in the child afflicted with
diphtheria In Its most virulent forms.
Then the bacilli, the germs, are sep
arated from the substance they have
been living on, and the poison they
leave behind Is the arrow of death
which strangles the child, producing
that hopeless struggle for breath which
has filled so many mothers' hearts with
agony, which has strangled so many
children.
Poison Is Injected.
That poisonous substance Is injected
into an animal. To begin, it was tried
on small animals. Guinea pigs were
found useful, because of their extreme
sensitiveness. Goats are used in some
cases, and by some physicians. But
when the work has progressed to that
stage where the investigator knows
the strength in degrees of his. poison,
horses are admittedly the best medium
for securing results. The poison Is In
jected into their blood. It would be an
easy matter to kill the strongest horse
by the simplest addition to the mini
mum of quantity. Tho effect on the
horse Is similar to the effect on a hu
man. There Is the same swelling, the
Bame fever, the same singular depres
sion of vitality. , ,
A largvr quantity of the poison Is In
jected at the next time, and as soon as
the animal has recovered from the ef
fects of the first Infusion. The treat
ment Is repeated, with constantly In
creasing doses, till the maximum of
poison desired Is reached, and had been
repeated until It Is followed by no ab
normal effects. The horse Is now im
mune. His blood Is in a condition to
repel the advances of the diphtheria
germ. And now the blood of the horse
Is drawn, and from it the serum is
separated the colorless portion, the
portion In which the results of the long
experiments have been prisoned.
From six to nine months are required
from the taking of that first swab of
baccill to the time when the blood of
the horse may be drawn. This serum
is the medicinal agent upon which the
hopes of the students are based. Called
to treat a child suffering with diph
theria, they inject a portion of the
serumand countconfldentlally on bene
ficial results. The Injection In a child
is usually made in the abdominal re
gion, for the reason that the antitoxin,
or antipoison, Is most easily taken up
there and most swiftly conveyed
throughout the body of the patient.
The tissues are looser. The action of
the blood ds less Impeded.
There Is No Germ to Fight.
Now, there is no waiting for the de
velopment of an animal growth ihere.
All that has been dona in the treatment
of the horse. Here Is another germ to
fight the diphtheria germ, and decide
on the battlefield of a Child's palate
the question of life or death. It Is not
a germ, but the chemical condition
wmcn accompanies the presence of a
thriving) colony tot '.germs, and this
chemical condition Is one In which the
diphtheria germ cannot exist, because
it is the condition whloh would exist if
the child had had diphtheria. It Is
instant' In Us operation. It should
check the ravages of the destroyer at
once. It la not yet a settled question.
There are so many things the profes
sion does not yet know in connection
with It. But that they have made a
great discovery, and that life Is being
saved with It, seems to be proved be
yond a doubt.
As to howl strong a dose should be in-
jected, judgment, not rule, must be the
guide. The age of the patient, the
length of time tke germs have been at
work, his normal vitality, his present
condition, the degree of strength In
this serum Injected all these are of
the elements which go to make up de
cision. And then, even after the moBt
sure Judgment has weighed all these
factors, there may still be the necessity
of Inserting a tube, that the child may
breathe while the poison of serum is
combatting and killing the germ of
diphtheria. Possibly the strength of the
child would be sufficient to defeat tho
diphtheria with the old remedies. If he
could only breathe, and so there Is an
open door of uncertainty even where
recovery occurs. But the Judgment of
the profession will be the beBt answer
to the query: Has antitoxin beneficial
powers? That answer Is a most un
qualified affirmative. The working out
of this problem must be credited to the
Berlin and Paris physlolans.
Dr. Krctgcr on Diphtheria.
Dr. Krelger, of Chicago, In a book he
has written on diphtheria, gives the
following Information concerning that
disease:
1. Diphtheria, Is an infectious disease
most dangerous to children, which can
be cured by early attendance.
2. The usual symptoms are first
swelling of the tonsils, commonly
known as sore throat. Soon after the
Inflammation of ithe tonsils white spots
appear on the latter, causing destruc
tion of the tissue and frequently ob-atructlng-the
air passages.
. 3, These white spots or membranes
contain germs whoh, when expectorat
ed, may infect other person with the
d lease. ' . '
4. With the Inflammation of the ton
sils fever and general discomfort set In.
5. From the tonsils the disease fre
quently extends to the nose, from which
a suppurative fluid is discharged, and
to the throat and Jungs, causing hoarse
ness and difficulty in breathing.
6. The further effect of the disease
is inflammation of the lungs, kidneys,
and a general poisoning of the sys
tem, which may result in a BUdden
paralysis of .the heart.
A cure of this disease can be effected
almost with certainty when the treat
ment ds applied in the incipient stage
that Is, the tlrst second or third day
alitor the earliest symptoms appeared.
Inadvanoedcasesatloaat a dlmlnuatlon
of tho gravity and the danger to in
flect others may be effected by the
same (treatment. It Is, therefore, the
duty of the parents or guardians of
children suffaning of diphtheria- to ap
ply at once after discovery of the first
symptoms to .tlve proper authority for
attendance.
1. The treatment consists In hypoder
mic Injections of a remedy called "an
titoxln," which has the power to nul
lify the poisonous effect of the disease.
This remedy, ua well as Us application,
is perfectly harmless.
1 sed for Protection.
2. With the ame remedy in smaller
doses other members of the family can
be protected from the dlseaae.
3. The sick child should, if possible,
be isolated f im others.
4. All clothes and bed limen used In
the sick room must neither be moved
from the room nur used until sterilized
according to the directions of a physician.
6. The person who attends the child
should frequently wash his hands and
face with a disinfecting solution as pre
scribed by the attending physician.
6. All dishes amd table supplies used
by the child should be placed In boiling
water Immediately after use.
IDEAS OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
King C. Gillette is the name of a Boston
gentleman who does his own thinking.
The census tells him -that people nowa
days are massing themselves In great
cities, hence he figures It out that by and
by, economical reasons will induce them
to combine into one central city, thus do
ing away with several hundred costly
Tammanies. Mr. King makes one great
mistuke. He thinks Buffalo will be the
place where these shrewd coming Ameri
cans will swarm, to save taxes. We are
prepared to prove, however, that they
will come to Scranton, by an overwhelm
ing majority.
Great Interest naturally centers In the
kind of houses Mr. Gillette would build
If, as the Buffalo Express points out, he
is to have only one city, and all the munu
fucturlng places In the country located
therein, he must provide for a great popu-
latlon. This he does by constructing
mammoth apartment houses or hotels
where the people would be free from all
the annoyances of housekeeping. These
buildings would be so located as to give
a certain population to every square mile
of territory. Built in circular form, ea.-h
would stand a perfect work of 'art, sep
arate und apart from every other build
ing a distance sufficient to bring out its
beauty as a whole. These buildings are
separated, say 1,200 feet from center to
center, and are 600 feet In diameter. Steel,
art-tiling, glazed brick, etc., would be
used In their construction. The grounds
would be laid out in beautiful lawns and
walks. The houses would be constructed
around a central court and would be 25
stories high. Mr. Gillette culculutes that
UO.OOO.OUO people would live in Buffalo, or.
as we contend. In Scranton, and to take
care of this number 24,000 of these apart
ment houses would be needed, an aver
age of 2,500 poplc to each house.
Inspector General M. Gattlnger, of the
Austrian State railway, has recently in
troduced a portable telephonic apparatus
of his own invention, which promises to
become invuluable in the railroad ser
vice. It tukes but a few seconds to con.
nect It ho conductors of the telephone
with tho telegraph wire strung along
the road, and the 'phone may be used In
stantaneously, Irrespective of any tele
graphic message that may be in course of
transmission over the same wire; the two
services do not interfere with each other
in the least.
Professor Mendenhall, In a lecture re
cently asserted that one preat railroad In
this country had so tabulated Its acci
dents that it was able to foretell with ac
curacy each year how many lives would
be lost, how muny arms or legs taken
off, and so on, "And Its board of dlrec
tors," he added, "Is thus always ready to
weigh the cost of a new Invention to add
to the safeties of travel against the prol
able damages to be paid for fatal and
other Injuries which the said invention
might prevont."
It Is reported that a lampwlck of clay
that will give 25 per cent, more light than
a cotton wick, has been invented. 11 is
mado capillary by incorporating with the
clay, while still plastic, filaments of tin-
spun vegetable fibre, which, burned out in
the baking, leave minute tubes running
through the wick, through which tho
flume draws the oil by capillary attrac
tion. The flame thus fed. It Is claimed, is
white odorless and smokeless, while the
novel wick Itself Is almost indestructible.

Mr. C. W. Campbell-Dear Sir: I hav
given my boy, Freddie, 7 years old, some ot
ut. .ampo.ii a magic worm sugar ana Tea,
and to my surprise this afternoon about I
o'clock he passed a tapeworm measuring
about 85 feet in length, head and all. 1 bar
It in bottle and any person wishing to sea
It can do so by calling at my stoiw. I hsd?
tried numerous other remedies recommended
for takina taueworms. but all failed. In mr!
estimation Dr. Campbell's is the ares test
worm remedy In existence.
Yours very resnectf ully.
