Annual Convention Hc!tl in the As

MAXY YOUNG l'EOI'LE ATTEND
Many Topics of Interest to Memhors of
tho PpVorth Lcnguo Come Pp for Con-vldcriitlon-Ncur
Officers Chosen.
Key li. M. Mills' Sci-inon.
Anbury Methodist Kplscopnl church,
nt Green Uldtfo, contained a law num
ber of rami ,t youiiK peoplo ycHterday
who were delerates to the nlxth annual
convention of the I'pworth league of
the Wyoming district. Tho morning
session opened lit U.30 with devotional
exercises conducted by l!ev. JO. ( !. Eok
lnan, pri 'wldlnjr ebb r of the district.
Thi' minutes of the last meeting were
read by Miss Finnia Williams, secre
tary of the Icaivne, and after their
adoption, J lev. A. F. Chaffee, pastor of
the Asbury church, extended a hearty
wclvomc to the dch'gates and others
present nt the convention.
A response to this cordial address
was made by l!ev. Mr. Murdock, of
W'llkes-liaiTc, president of the league.
He said that the Kpworth lea.rtie lias a
very Important duty resting upon It,
having become nn organization with
over NiMi.000 members. It Is now better
able to raise the social condition of
Its membei-s. Those who refuse to
olicy some of the mandates pf society
will not be alone in their battle for
tight principles, as was tho case a few
years ago. I'.y their Iniluctieo many
thltms of an Injurious character may be
obliterated from the society.
Ci'r.iiniations Prondcning Out.
I'ntil now the tendency of rluirch
societies has been mainly toward Im
proving the spit ituiil life of their mcm-
ibers. but now religious peoplo are be-
glnnlmr to take up the study of literary
vo:k. becoming broader minded and
yet firmer believers in denominational
ism. Miss Emma Williams reported eight
new chapters with a membership of NOD,
and four Junior societies with a mem
bership of 100, as having Joined the
league since the last meeting, making
a total membership of 4000 in the senior
chapters, of which there are lil'ty-Mve,
and 1.G.10 members in the twenty-live
Junior chapters. Of. tho many depart
ments the Mercy and Help have done
much effective work by aiding the
needy.
The sub-districts contained In the
Wyoming districts gave very encourag
ing reports of work done in the past
year; reports were also given from the
chapters itvtho following places: Ash
ley, Sugar Notch, Avoca, Carverton,
Leaman, Idetown, Teuton, Maple Grove,
"Parsons, Plains, Plymouth, rrengle

licv. .Mr. Van llocscn's Paper.
After, the roll call, Rev. J. K. Van
Hoesen, of Forty Fort, read an excel
lent paper on "What Constitutes De
nominational Loyalty." Tho term
loyalty means the act of belli? true
to that to which you belon.tr. Religious
denominations are a necessity because
of the great difference in opinion of
men. If there were but one denomina
tion men would soon become very nar
row minded, but now they receive aid
from each other, for each is constantly
receiving some new idea or sugges
tion from the other.
In her paper on "Social WorK" Mrs.
.1. I!. Sweet, of Ashley, said that man Is
naturally a social being, but this very
fact makes it nard to arrange some new
entertainment for him, for this material
is thrown together Indiscriminately and
must he separated to be used to good
advantage. In this separating) tho
spiritual end must always be kept In
view or else all tho labor is lost.
Itev. O. L. Severson, who was to have
read a paper on "The Epworth league
at Chattanooga," was not present, so in
tho afternoon Professor George F.
Whittemore briefly told of the arrange
ments that have been made for the
convention' that will be held In Chat
tanooga the last of this month nnd
which about twenty Kpworthians of
Scranton expect to attend.
The Amusement Oncstlon.
O. A. P.aldwln, of Wllltes-Harre, rend
a short paper on the "Kpworth League
and the Amusement Question." This
paper was discussed at great length.
Then tho president announced his com
mittees. The resolution committee of
Itev. J. It. Sweet, 11-ofessor George F.
Whittemore nnd John Perkins, and the
nominating of Rev. J. O. Kckman, W.
II. Hlller, G. A. P.aldwln and K. C.
Keller. The convention at this point
adjourned until 2 o'clock.
The afternoon, scyfon was opened
with devotlonnl exercises led by Rev.
W. O. Simpson, after which Airs. T. M.
Furrey read a very Interesting paper
on "Junior Leaguo Work," In which she
said that peoplo have always neglected
tho religious training of their children
and have endeavored ito make up this
neglect In after years by various meth
ods. The Junior league partly (ills this
blank space In tho child's llfo by or
ganizing them nnd trying to Interest
them In the work of God. Miss Maty
Crcnsler, a member of the Junior league
of the I'nrrish street church of Wllkes
I'arre, gave a short recitation on
"Obedience."
Pcpnrtmcnt of Correspondence.
In tho absence of llev. V. H. Lyman,
Rev. Mr. Murdock led the discussion
on "How Cnn tho Department of Cor
respondence be Most Helpful to the
League?" It wits the opinion of those
present that It would be a great help
to each chapter If thoy should become
more thoroughly acquainted with tho
methods of work cmployocd by each
chapter, and to do this it was suggested
that an editor bo appointed for the
purpose of editing1 league notes, nnd
then send them to the daily nnd re
ligious pros, circulating through the
district, Af committee was appointed
to perfect the plnns of work, nnd In the
evening session reported the division of
the district Into two positions, the
north nrfd south. Rev. F. P. Doty to
have charge of the northern nnd F. M.
Furrcy the southern.
Owing to the absence of Rev. I. O.
Woodruff, Rev. Manley S. Hard deliv
ered the principal address of this scsV
slon. lie said that the unllkencss of
the people is a great blessing, for It
keeps us from becoming narrow mind
ed and bigoted, but this difference In
people would cause confusion If It was
nyt made use of. It Is the duty of the
Epworth league to so harmonize the dif
ferent classes as to make them, work
for tho good of God's cause. Some
have money to give, but not time; some
can plan, but cannot carry out, while
. ' .
others have the time and energy, but
not tho money or the capability to plan,
so It In only by the organization of
these that tho work can bo done. After
this nddress, for the accommodation of
those delegates who could not stay until
the evening session was finished, the
nominating committee was asked to
present its report, which was adopted.
The New Officers.
The new officers are O. A. Baldwin,
president; George F. Whittemore, first
vice-president; V. H. Lyman, second
vice-president; Miss Clara Reynolds,
third vice-president; Rev. L. E. San
ford, fourth vice-president; Miss Alice

1 1, Kckman, Itev. J. T. Phillips, Rev. J.
I-!. Sweet, Rev. W. II. Hlller and Hev. U,
C. Kellam, executive committee.
Rev. Dr. Hard opened tho quuatlon
box and satisfactorily answered till the
questions, many of which were dllllcult,
Itev. K. M. Mills, D. D., of Klmlra. N,
V., was called to the platform and In
troduced, to the audience, after which
the convention adjourned until 7.30
o'clock.
When Ibe evening session wasmpened
about 1110 delegates hud enrolled, al
though there present nt this service
many wilm did not enter their names on
the list. Tlie devollon.il exercises were
conducted by Professor George F
Whittemore, after which G. A. Paid
win, the newly elected president, was
called to the platform and Introduced
to the audience. In his speech ho said
that he expected great results from the
league, one of which would be union of
the Methodist churches of tho North
and South.
Rev. K. M. Mills was then Introduced
ns the principal speaker of the conven
tion. He took for his subject "Fishers
of -Men." "Christ always employed
visible objects for his illustrations In
priseiiting the truths to his hearers,"
he said, "and if we would bo successful
!l'hers of men we must follow His ex
ample. We must also bo sure that wt
have fully received Him Into our hearts,
for wo need a heart preparation as well
as linn of the head. Wo must bo sure
that wo have received the baptism of
the llidy Spirit, so that wo will load a
godly life and be an example for all
others, fur that Is nn uncombatablo ar
gument in favor of Christianity."

Ills Lease of Life Nearly Klin.
Bezek has less than sixty days to live,
unless he shall Me respited by the gov
ernor in the meantime. It Is customary
for the governor to grant a short stay
of execution in almost every murder
case.
Kilmund A. Rnrtl declares that he
will bend his energies to Diave the

murderer from his fate. The tinfe Is
short nnd It will bo decided this week
what will be done In Bezek's behalf.
There Is no use to rely on the exer
cise of executive clemency. Tho gov

hope left for the unfortunate man.

J0XES, THE CLOSE TROTTER.
Ho Is Spending n Few Hays In
This City.
When a man starts out to go around
the world with a good bnnk account
to Ills credit it Is all very pleasant,
although not without a certain amount
of danger and discomfort; but when the
same trip is undertaken without money.
Lall means of subsistence and traveling
expenses to be earned cn route, then the
discomforts nnd tho obstacles become
well nigh Insurmountable.
The Boston clubman who modestly
signs himself Paul Jones nnd who Is
stopping in Scranton at the Wyoming
for a few days succeeded In finishing
a contract to go around the world and
earn in that tlmo $.',000. The gentle
men who felt certain he could not make
tho trip in the stipulated time were
General Douglas Frazar, J. Jeffrey
Roche, M. P. Curran, and the lnlb
Henry McGlonnan. By tho terms of
the contract, Jimes was to earn all of
his expense money, nnd start'on his
trip without so much ns a stitch of
clothing.
Attired in Paper Clothes.
He gave a lecture In a Boston club
house and with a portion of the money
earned purchased a newspaper, from
which he constructed a suit of clothes.
His second suit was of itho some materi
al. It was made of manllln wrapping
paper, nnd cost 11 cents. His next rig
was made from a .blanket at a cost of
J1. lt, but his success In making money
was so great that ho soon allowed him
self tho luxury of a ready-made outfit
costing $S.tS.
In relating some of his many profit
able, unpleasant nnd arduous exped
iences to a Tribune reporter nt the Wy
oming last evening the famous trotter
(who Is far from hoLng a tramp nnd
very much of nn educated gentleman)
told how he earned the most of his
money:
"I was hired by proprietors of various
kinds of business to work for thorn.
Somo paid rne $25 a day for three days.
I have got as much as $I!00 a week. I
traveled over a great part of the Unit
ed States. I exhibited my paper suit
everywhere. I rnde on bicycles and
was paid for it by the mifnufaeturers.
F.mploycd ns tin Interpreters
"I was Introduced to the representa
tive of an English banking syndicate,
who took a liking to mo and ihlred hie
ns Interpreter for a trip through Ger
many. We went to Hamburg, spend
ing ono week, thence to Belln for three
days, thenco to Lelpslc, nnd flnnlly to
Inspruck, where wo remained one day.
Hero we parted and 1 dropped Into
Switzerland."
In Japan ho had nn experience thnt
for a time ruined his prospects. He
reached that country during the New
Year's festivities, which last a week,
and as a traveler has to use a' passport
was hampered by the failure to get the
signature of the necessary olllclals. Ho
supplied by American nerve tho Japan

MEETING OF TEACHERS.
Itccclvo Advice Concerning the Coming
I'xiiininatlons from Superintendents,
Tbern wna n. tnrifo rooresentatlon of
K tho South Side 'teachers at the meeting
hold yesterday afternoon In No. 3
school, River street, South Side. Su
perintendent Phillips presided and was
there for tho purpose of 'making known
to the teachers the work expected from
them in the line of examinations In
their schools. The papers are rendy
for distribution now, and Mr. Phillips
advised 'the teachers not to make pro
motions altogether ?m the face of tho
rosu'llH of the examinations, but to
shape that matter In concord with th
annual progress of the pupils,
The suM-rlntendent referred to the
natinnnl convention of. teachers at Den
ver, Col., In August, nnd stated that
he though It would do the teacher good
to go. He hoped to see tho time como
when It will le no novel sight for teach
ers to band together In groups on plims
uro trips to some of the mountain or
summer resorts.
Ho wants every teacher to obmplle
nn accurate statement of the actual
number of days attended by each pupil
and the ward tho pupil Is from during
the school year. This, ho thinks, will
show to better advantage the interest
taken In school mutters In the different
wards of tho city. He made the state
ment that the Thirteenth wnrd is rep
resented by but ono pupil In the high
school graduating class.
