SCKANTOX 1EX TO LECTIKE Lxjudyo Alfred Hand, J. A. Scrauton, Major tCvcrett Wnrrcn, James II. Tor re y und Others Will Talk About Government und Law. There was a- time when public asso ciations like the Young Men's Chris tian association wore content to offer only one or two main features for the benefit of members. In the old days the gymnasium and library furnished the nucleus of the organization's ad vantages. Whil" these functions still exist, but ill an expanded and more complete form, there have been added many new things for theinstriiotion and bcnellt of thousands of young men. In the last ten years business has changed In methods, politicians have adopted now arguments, finance has changed everything ncirs a. different color, and the inclination nowadays Is toward the practical order. To hold its great prestige and power, has the Young lien's Christian association kept pace with the World at large? It seems :o. llight here in Scrauton the local association has for several seasons shown its up-to-dateness In the way of high grado entertainments; and Just now there are preparations afoot for GREAT MEETJNGAI DALTON Conducted liv Members of the It. K. Y. M. C. A. uf This Citv. IT WAS MOST ENTHUSIASTIC Held in the .Methodist l.piseopal Church at Dulton, VV hieh V, us Crowded, Names of Those Who Went from This City. Dalton will long remember the glorious nn-ctlng of last evening which the members of the Itallroad Young Men's Christian association conducted with such fervor and enthusiasm. It is not to be wondered that Invitations are pouring In from ministers In the neighborhood begging them to assist In carrying on the good work. Yesterday's meeting was acknowl edged to be the greatest success of all. Alter tho afternoon meeting tit the association rooms the boys sit down toa tea which was provided In the social room and passed the time In singing the favorite hymns until Secretary I'carsall cave the marching order at 6.1.1 p. m., when the following tilled up the special cir provided by Oeneral Manager llallstead: Train Master C.

It would be easy to Imagine that this corps of men continually engaged In religious work would present u long visaged nnd sour-faced exhortors, but what u sad mistake such a conclusion would be. No Jollier set of men could be nn-t, as In the crowded car they lustily sang the hymns which they have sang at their numerous meetings. The destination wns soon reached nnd these "Soldiers of the Cross" trooped Into the pretty Methodist Kplscopul church ut Dalton to find that It would he a matter of difficulty to accommodate all with seats. Willing hands, however, soon provided chairs and benches which were placed In thu aisles, and after Homo- necessary delay the meeting opened by singing, "Wc Are Journeying on to Ion." The manner in which the sturdy railroaders attacked the chorus made one .think of the old saying "that the roof was not In a, safe place." The question was then submitted, "Why should a railroader be a Chris tian?" The following took part In the dlsousslon: ThomHS Parrot, F. W. Pearsnll, Conductor Masters, Fireman JSYalcy, Frank Glover, llev. J. It. Angel, and many striking arguments were ad duced. After this the meeting was thrown open to discuss the second ques tion, "Is It possible for a railroad man to be u, Christian?" Immediately It was announced there was a contest among those In the audience to relate their experience. One related how, In the days of not long ago, trainmen kept whisky In the cabimso w'here the Bible now occupied the place. Another related how, not long ago, an engineer in the Dolmwnre, Lackawanna and Western depot was offered a bottle of whisky by a passenger, and taking the bottle smashed It on the ground and threw his arms around the passenger, exclaiming: "Ood bless you, sir, give it imwiwW& fffvyMm hMmKS giving Its educational department the beuelit of talks upon civil government and law matters of in'.erest 'to young men. The men whose services have been solicited and given are among tin; bet't known in the city, and this fact Is weighty evidence of the worth of the association which Is 'to be benelltled thereby. They Would lie Impossible. It is said unite truthfully that the enormous business done by such v.'eli known lyevum bureaus as Hedpath's and the Star would be Impossible but for the patronage, they receive from Young Men's Christian associations. Approximately, 1,000 of the associations have lecture and entertainment courses. To this fact Is due In part the ere.uHon of lyceum bureaus. It then follows that they depend for support largely upon Ihe associations. To illustrate; The Scrauton assocla- Glimpse of the Keecptlon lioom. tion arranged for a course of si:: enter tainments this winter. Three have been given as follows: John Thomas Con cert company, Nov. li'; The Mechlem's musical entertainment. Nov. SG, and the Tableaux d' Art company, of I loston, Dec. 4. The three entertainments to folh.vv are: Leland T. Powers, In Dickens' Christmas carols, tomorrow night; Tem ple quartette, of I'.uston, Feb. 14, and II. II. Itagan, in "Footprints of Wash ington," March ". Kach of these at tractions costs the association from $15 to Si'.lit, and yet tickets for the course have been sold for Jl'.,"ii, about 4o cents each f ir witnessing some of the best things In today's lyceum amusement world. In tills the association cmtiha sizes Its position that it Is not giving an entcrtainmenlcoursc to make money, up; It will kill you in this world and In the next." Another new convert stuted that six months ago, despite the earnest pleading !' a heart-broken wife, he drank each evening to excess, but now he had the happiest home in Scranton. I xperience of Others. A machine simp man, who was an infidel four months ago. made a striking address, and was followed by one who, after leading a dissolute life which led him into heavy debt, reformed two years ago and was now it he happy pos sc.'sor of Moo. The next announced that a short time ago he was "Hill Nobody," but now he was "Hill Somebody," with money where there was debf, and happi ness irr place of poverty. Another followed by declaring that It was the happiest day of Ills life, as he was celebrating the Ilrst month of his Christian life, which had been a veritable month of pureand unadulterated happi ness. Several others related similar ex periences, and It was with 'dllliculty that tho meeting was brought to a close The engine attached to the special cat Issued a few warning "toots" and the party scurried to their seats for the re turn Journey, which was passed in pleasant singing. The quartette de serve special credit for the excellent music provided during the evening.. NEWS OF THE RAILROADS. That old engineer. He v. J. It.

"Johnny" will soon quit the "oab" for the platform If he continues to score such successes. Brakemnn lilchard James,' who Is well known to Dola.wlire, Lackawanna and Western employes, met with a seii oui accident at Kingston on Friday owing to his slipping between two cars.

Thomas Levi, of Aberystwyth, is a celebrated Welsh divine and the edi tor of the well known monthly, Trys orfa y Plant. The next undertaking that tho boys are going to place on Secretary Pear Rail's shoulders Is the formation of a singing Instruction class. They never seem tired of singing the sweet Oospel hymns, but a little tuition would insure a marvelous change. "Where there's a will there's a way," and Frank Glover has plenty of will and thera Is plonty of material. Secretary Pearsall Is the man to show the way. The accounts of the Delaware, Lacka wanna and Western company for 1S9I show the following figures: Gross earnings, 11,0.18,862, a decrease of $5, 732,111; operating expenses, :i0,00!l,19.1, being a decrease of $4,r2l,377; net earn ings, $7,0I!,667, a decrease of $1,203,734.

In view of this statement of cost, the public will fully appreciate the fact that .the association will soon make the entertainments a membership privilege. Ileginnlng next season each ttttracton will appear 'two nights, one a free night for members and the other a pay night for patrons. Addresses of practical Value. Recently there appeared in The Trlb uiie some information concerning the educational classes. Additional im portance might have been attached to the article If It had contained the In formation that ex-Judge Alfred Hand, Joseph A. Scranton, Major Kverett Warren. City Solicitor James H. Torrey and others had been asked to address the educaitlonal classes on civil govern ment and municipal law. The associa tion believes that a proper knowledge of civil matters Is Just ns essential to good citizenship as book learning. For that reason the assistance of the gentlemen mentioned and others lias been asked.. Among tliesiibjicts for discussion are: "l'oroiigh Township and County (lov ernnients," "Municipalities," "The Commonwealth." "The National fiov ernmeiit," divided into 'three talks which will include the executive, the legislature and the judicial branches. Stated even so brielly and without coloring an idea may lie had nf only two features which the Scranton Young Men's Christian association has or will put in practice. How it does such a work, or when- it gets its pecuniary means, are questions which may be discussed at another time. IX LOCAL THEATERS. Professor Sainrl S. and Mrs. Raldwln and their superb company of society cut', rtaine'-s b, gin a six nights' en gagement at the Frothingham tonight, with a bill that promises to be made up with startling novelties. Leading newspapers and magazines have de Voted pages of comment to the strange and bewildering features that will be given 'here, and scientific minds have been puzzled in efforts to find the means hy which these marvelous re siiUs are i.'ol. lined.

Hereafter there will be but one St. Vincent de Paul society in this city, as a meeting of representatives from all the branches of the society met last night in College hall and formed a consolidation. This was done ut the suggestion of Rev, J. A. O'Reilly, rector of the cathedral, who became convinced that better effort could be accomplished by one society with membership from all parts of tiie city. W. J. P.urke, president of the cathe dral branch, called the meeting to order, and after Rev. Father O'Reilly had stated the purpose, Mr. P.urke vacated the chair and by common consent all the organizations disbanded and the meeting at once proceeded to elect of ficers to govern the consolidated so ciety.
