6 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE SATIJKDAY MOKNTNG, JULY 13, 1895. OF A RELIGIOUS NATURE Unique Meetings That Are Being Con ducted at Nay Aug Park. THEY WILL BURN A MORTGAGE Congregation of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Ar Soon to Have That Picas-nrt-Grcat Work Accomplished by Calvary Reformed Church. Probably one of the most unique, as well as one of the most practical kinds of religious work Inaugurated In Seran tnn In recent years, Is the Sunday open air meetings, conducted by the Young Men's Christian association In cine of nature's cool and restful natural nmpltheaters In Nay Aug" park. Sec retary Malty and other promoters of th.i "enterprise" are so encouraged by the attendance of 1,500 persons at the first meeting last Sunday, that special efforts will be made In future to make tho meetings additionally (attractive.

Mortgage Cremating Ceremony.

"Young Men," the monthly publics t! in of the Scranton Young Men's Christian association contains the foi 1 A'ing announcements of vocations and c,' nges: "Secretary Pearsall. of the IMilroad department, and Superintend ent Sanborn, of the Rescue mission, n.e spending two weeks in the Maine w rods. Assistant Secretary Wiley goes to the Young Men's Chrdlstlan as sociation encampment at Northfleld on the wheel. He will be gone from July 1" to 20. Physical Director Weston goes to Lockport, N.

Mr. Weliard is a genuine athlete with a good record In base ball, foot ball, and field contests." Progress of Calvary Church. There Is quite a disparity Ira the new c hapel and proposed magnificent struc ture of the Calvary Reformed church, corner of Monroe avenue and Gibson Ftreet, and the little "shanty on the hill" which the members built by th-lr own hands and used for worship marly two years. The "shanty" that's what the congregation called it) cost the munificent sum of $185, and re quired four days to 'build, yet this same struggling congregation has built the $8,000 key to t:he edifice which will he one of the handsomest in the city and will cost $36,000. The opening ser vices which began Wednesday night, and which will terminate tomorrow night, not only mark an epoch In the history .of' Calvary churtlh, but Is a further evidence of the growth of the church at large and the things possible when determination Is bent in a God like direction. There Is a silent and yet an eloquent sermon In- the vacuum between the "shanty on the hill" and Calvary's new chapel. Within the year probably no church work has brought forth higher compliment and deserved commendation than ttte suc cess of Rev. W. H. Stubbtebine and his congregation's strong consistory.- The- Watch Tower Bible class will meet at the residence of O. W. Heseler, 728 Green Ridge street, Sunday, July 14. at 10 a. m.

"Here's a poem on the 'Owld Counthry, sorr," said a frayed-looking Individual to the editor of weekly newspaper In a large town, "an' It's hopln' you'll take It, Ol am." "What Is your address?" Inquired the editor. "That deplnds entolrely on you, sorr," responded the poet, with a cheerful smile. "Depends on me!" echoed the editor; "what do you mean?" "If yes take the bit av poem, sorr, me addthress will slhlll be slvlnty-wan Dlx ther sthrate," replied the sanguine poet; "but If ye don't take It," he added, darkly, "It's mesllf that'll be lift wldout anny addthress to me name, If me land lady kapes her wurrd, sorr."

O bid me! not, Amanda, as I, student of the Lancet, To meet you when the moon has tinged the sleeping earth with gold; The evening Is tradlonally fitting, but per chance It Would bring about bronchitis, or at least a heavy cold. And, though wa love each other as but few have loved before us, We need no butward token of unalter able bliss; Leave that to those less prudent; the au thorities assure us That very often microbes are trans . mltted by a kiss. Nor must you rush toward me to express your satisfaction; Its true that fate has severed us for many a weary day; But still, excitement, as you know, accel erates the action Of pulse and heart In really quite a pre judicial war. ' I'll see you, then, at midday (please make sure the room Is heated ' To VP or to 61); we'll talk afcout the past, And how our various ailments by our doc tors have been treated; When, by the way, Amanda, wars you , vaccinated last? And so we'll meet tomorrow; X will sing your favorite ballad, , For vocal exercises greatly benefit the lung, . And, having lunched discreetly off aa hy . glenio salad, . .

MANY HAVE GONE TO EUROPE Names of Some of Those Who Have Sailed from New York Daring ths Week-Movements of Well Known People. Never before has there been a greater summer outpouring of residents than thiu season. The same statement was made last year, but while more people than ever before summered outside the city last year, this season's emigration Is even greater. The number who have gone to Europe Is not as large as form erly, but the decrease will be more than offset by the large throng Who have or will go to seashore and mountain, or rusticate In cottages about the lakes and villages convenient to the city. Probably the latter class Is lu the ma jority. During 1894 business was not as (brisk as now and heads of families were permitted to desert their monled interests for a long period, but the busi ness revival t'hat came with the spring prevents any long neglect, and the re sult has been: the establishment of sum mer homtu within a few ihours ride of the city. The summer cottage mania hes become really epidemic, and very few who can afford It and whose busi ness hours permit it, are without a temrorary 'residence In the verdant "country", where a non-poMuted ozone and Xrttdom ifrom formal dress make tae summer heat a pleasure ratiher than something to e endured.

A rumor comes from Italy that Baron Franchettl. the composer of "Asraiel" and "Christopher Columbus," has the Inten tion to build In an Italian city Bologna Is named a Wagner theater after the Bay- reutn model. Major isthe-active and masculine: minor. the passive and feminine In .music, says Schumann. Simple affections choose simple keys for expression; complex ones prefer keys which are unusual and less familiar to the ear. Sir Arthur Sullivan Is not the only com poser who receives his Inspirations In the train. Mr. Cowen composed the muslo to "Tho Better Land" for Mme.

"Bach," says Ysaye, "Is for me ths alpha and omega. In Wagner we find Bach; In Beethoveen, Bach; and, indeed, his influ ence M to be seen rn all the greatest writ ers. Wagner did for ths muslo of Francs what the war of im did for her pontics. Chamber music Is for me the highest art. The French now lead m chamber music." Number thirteen has played a moat Im portant part la the destiny of Richard Wagner. Born In 1813. Wagner died In Venice, Feb. 13, 1881. The Inauguration of the Bayreuth theater took place on the 13th of August, 187.

Puttl sings nothing in public from Wagner. She says in explanation: "I am a coloratlnn, not a dramatic vocalist. I am not built physically or vocally to ade quately render any of the characters of this) master. Still, my admiration for Wagner is very great. I know all his works and h;ar them whenever conven ient, and afterward play them at home. His bust claims a prominent position in my music room." A WOMAN WITH A HISTORY. A well-dressed and sharp-faced woman passed Into the lawyer's office and very shortly was standing by his desk. "I beg your pardon," she said In saluta tion, "but you can spare a few moments of your valuable time?" "I am very busy, madam," he replied, "but, if you have anything of Importance to communicate, I shall be glad to hear It. Pray be seated." "Thank you, no," she said, looking around at a clerk or two In a nervous fashion. "I am a woman with a history, and" "Excuse me," apologized the attorney, seeing a fee appearing on the horizon, "possibly you had better step Into my pri vate office with me where you will not be Interrupted." She thanked him, and they went Into the adjoining room. "Now," he said, when they were seated, "I presume you want to consult me on this matter of your history?" "Yes, sir; that Is why I am here." "Very well; proceed. Anything you may say to me will be held In the strictest con fidence. You were saying you were a wo man with a history?" This was said very sympathetically as an encourager. "Yes, sir," she began, as she laid a doc ument before him, "it Is a history of Na poleon Bonaparte, In eighteen monthly parts, at 50 cents a month, and" He threw up his hands, but she had him, and he couldn't get away until he had put down his name, and now when "a woman with a history" Is mentioned in his hear ing It makes cold chills run down his back.

President Hoy subsequently denied these reports and stated that the company held nearly aix million bonds In its treasury. The denial led to a sharp recovery, and In the late trading the stock recovered to 86; American Sugar was under the ham mer all day and dropped from 110 to 107, with a subsequent rally to 10SV. A leading trader was the heaviest seller of the stock ar.d his brokers fought ev ery rally.

Taylor & Co., of Scranton, have pur chased from the Reading Coal and Iron company the Johns breakers at St. Clair. No improvements are being made in and around the Stockton collieries ef Lnde man ft Skeer. This is accounted for that the lease expires this year. One of Frank Pardee's patented J'.gs Is being put into use In the Cranberry break er. When in working order it will do away with the services of about ten boys. The machine shops at the Hasleton Iron Works are very busy at present turning out new breaker machinery for the col lieries of A. Pardee ft Co. and A. S. Van Wlckle. The Delaware. Lackawanna and West ern contemplates the erection of several score houses at Leemine. Several new private roads have been built by this com pany at that place since the company has the new shafts. A mechanical stoker Is in course of con. structlon at Drlfton shops to be used in a large boiler house to France. This is the first of a great many that will be erected and shipped to foreign parts. It Is said by the Wilkes-Barre Record that the old Hillman mine, near Parsons, which has been idle, for several years, will be opened In a few days by Simpson & Watklns, the extensive operators. This will give employment to a couple of hun dred. The great Plant of the Bethlehem Iron company Is now in full operation and an official states that there are over 4,000 men on the pay roll. It Is believed that tho armor plate department will shortly re ceive large orders, and in that event the working force will be still further in creased. The Carnegie Steel company has broken ground for two blast furnaces at Its Du quesne works which will be the largest furnaces ever constructed, each having a capacity for producing 450 to too tons of pig iron per day. Upon the completion of these furnaces two more are to be built at once. David E. Phillips, of Mahanoy City, has invented a Bhaker coal somen. One of the best features of It la that it does away with -the vibration so noticeable In other screens. It is now lr course of construc tion at the Hazieton Iron Works, and will be given a practical test at the Buck Mountain breaker of the Mill Creek Coal company some time this week. Improvements still continue at the Lau rel Hill colliery. Last week two new jigs were placed in. the breaker. They are known as a "wooden jig," and are an im provement on the Iron machine. The new boilers at this colliery are now in position and work on a new boiler house will tie commenced at once. A trestle to haul pea coal from the breaker to the boiler house is being erected. Ground was broken on Wednesday by the Reading Coal and Iron company for what will be one of the largest coal op;r.v. tlons In the country. The work Is tho sinking of a new shaft at Wadesvtlle col liery and the reopening of thsee mines after nn idleness of about fifteen years. It is stated that $500,000 has been appro priated for this work and the plans are on an extensive scale. The new slope of the Lehigh Valley Coal company at No. 2 Yorktown Is now almost down to the basin. The slope is now over 1,100 feet deep and two shifts of men have been put to work to hasten Its completion. The vein to be tapped Is the Buck Moun tain. When the basin is reached con tracts will be given out at once for the driving of tunnels east and west This is one of the most substantial collieries in the region. Superintendent Hayes says it will last fifty years. The breaker has a capacity or 1,000 tons daily. Relief In Six Honrs.
