8 THE SCRAXTOX TRIBUNE SATURDAY MOHNTNO, JULY JJ7, 1835. Hypnotism in Its. Relation to Crime. A Question Upon Which Our Courts Must Soon Take a Decisive Stand. New York. July it. In the opinion eC Clark Bell, the secretary of the Medlco Leal society, of New York, hypnotism M a condition of crime, must and will be recognised toy the court. Mr. Bell to an authority aa the science of hypno tism. He has given years of his lie to the study of the mystical. Some re cent crimes In which hypnotism is said to play a part would seem to bear Mr. Bell out in his promises. Five cases have lately come before the courts In whlrii the criminals WUve alleged that they committed their crimes while un der hypnotic influence. The most not Ue of these are the Plckins case, in Bau Claire, Wis., and the Tom Mc Donald case of Ka.r.sas City. Tom MacDonald was recently acquit ted for the murd?r of a man named Thomas Patten; after he had confessed, to the Jury tU.it he had killed his vic tim. His lawyer did not plead insanity, but made a direct statement, that IMac Donald was under the hypnotic influ ence of his employer. Anderson Gray. The jury convicted Gray of murder In the first degree and acquitted MacDon ald. Thus making the first precedent of hypnotism In crime and in law. The press dispatches nay that Gray was a man of commanding presence ind dicta torial manner, airj that MacDonald. while perfectly sane, was of a weak and vartlhitlng disposition. iMaoDon aM was Induced by Gray to lie In wait for his victim and shoot him down' from aobus4u The Ean Clslre Case. The tther case which lately attracted a g rest dovl of attention in the west is the Plckins case. The story goes that Dr. V. O. Plclclns and his son, Asagali Plckins, hypnotized two young girls, one 16 years old. named Edna Mabel Brlggs, and another. 14. named Alma Leonard, and compelled them to leave lihetr homes ln Eau Claire and to go to Chippewa Falls, in Wisconsin, alone and there awutt the doctor and his son, who followed on the T.ext train. At Chippewa Falls the two men accom plished the ruin of the young girls. The girls were away from home thirty-six (hours, and When they returned either could ast, or would not, tell their fran tic parents whsre they had been or what they Wad been doing. Their ac tions were to queer that the fathor of the Brtygs girl suspected she was un der tome strange influence and sent to Chicago for Dr. Werbert Flint, a noted hyp not to doctor, who cams and placed Edna Brtggs In a som-.u-irobuHrttc state, and, while she was in that condition, discovered what had happened. This testimony was not 'brought out In the trial, because the presiding judge. William F. 'Bailey, would not 'allow 4t. He aaya that hypnotism is an absurdity. A great many of the 1rihtest minds In the west who have read t'he case take Ides with the Judge, claiming thut the district attorney's case was a manufac tured one, and that there 1 no such power as hyprooiilsm. The two girls are very pretty and attractive, and are daughters of wealthy parents. An Example from Paris. Another case, not so recent, Is the famous Eyraud-Bompard case, of Paris. Eyraud compelled Madeline Bompard to murder and rob under his direotlon. She claimed while on trial at the Cour d'Assizes de la Senle that Eyraud bad hypnotized her and made her commit these crimes. In France there are two schools of hypnotism, one at Nancy, the other at La iSalpetrierle, ! TV ,M TT . U I I 1.1 Q . 111. r ctpals of each school were called In. Bronardel and his disciples of La Sal pletrtevto testified that a subject was Oirewn Into three states by the ope rator first, cataleptic; second, a letJiargie, and last, a somnambulistic state, in which latter the subject could be mad to anything without know ing It, at the will of the operator. Bor nardel claimed a subject In this condi tion was diseased and the hypnotic con dition could not exist In person of normal and nealthy conditions. The fa nous Professor Charcot of Parts was one ef those who leaned to the La Sal tMtrlerle view. On the other side -the school of Nancy, represented in court by Professor Lle ffetos, declared that hypnotism was not ft pathological state, but a psychologi cal condition, that 90 per cent, of the human race could be hypnotized and fully SO per cent, be placed in the som nambulistic state, and In that condi tion would commit crime. Professor iJlegeioa utterly discarded the theory that a subject that was hypnotized was necessarily In a hysterical or weak con dition, and averred that hypnotism was clearly a manifestation of natural phe nomena. According to Professor Lie reios cHn could be committed by sug gestion, and the hypnotlzer was re sponsfMe. Professor Charcot agreed 'With the exception that he said the sub ject being a willing one was equally re sbensrble. The Cour d'Assizes de la Mm did not settle the question, for it threw out all the hypnotic expert evl denoe on the ground that Madeline Bompard was such a liar that no court could believe her tale. Since that time 1180 Trench courts have shunted hypnotic evidence to one side, although It Is an unquestioned fact that at least T6 per cent, of bsth legal and medical talent In France believe the roughly In hypnotism as a factor In crime and a pathological condition. Hypnotism ia America. In America. Mi belief In hypnotism IS lowly growing. Mr. Bell, who has the ftteratur of the subject at his Angers' ends, says that today about 30 per cent, of the medical men believe In the occult science and about 10 per cent, of the lawyers hold similar beliefs. In Amer ica, as abroad, there are two schools of belief the pathological and psycholog icalbut both schools believe that the operator to in the end the guilty party. As far back aa 1891 the question as to whether we needed a revision of the laws of evidence In view of hypnotic conditions was seriously discussed by some of theesainent lawyers, scientists, phytolane and Mterary men of this coun try. ' Thet question, of whether there should he legal surveillance over public or private experiments was also dis cussed. , Professor - George Trumbull Ladd of Tale, speaking' on the subject, aid: , : v . ' ' !The taws are generally about the last part of the social structure which can safely feel the effects of special e lent Wo reseamrties and d iscoveries. Science must take full possession, of hypnotism as the essential prerequisite f any considerable changes (n the law. The law . may well, and perhaps at once, talcs cogndsanoe of the truth that srtsnoe, and science alone. Is the only rttjhtful controller of this domain. I see no objections to the carefully guard ed examination of witnesats or accused person by expert and trusty operators, when sanctioned by court Such an ex amination could rarely or never be used unless the person under examination consented to be hypnotised. Suppose then crime has been committed under hypnotl influence. The law should treat both the criminal who suggests and the subject who receives the sug gestion, according to the broadest and mopt humane sociological principles. Both persona might be restrained of their liberty." Julian Hawthorne's Views. Julian Hawthorne said: "The law should and must in some way take cognliunce of hypnotism. No man can meet another's thoughts, the thoughts thait at transcribed by himself, with out something emanating from It. some mutual influence which continues as lung as the association or longer. It Is perfectly true that a hypnotized person may have hypnotized himself. Th? great orator who gels up to speak and forgats his ego ta hypnotised, especially when he is at his beat. "Tins great pofi'.s and actors are self hypnotized, and In their hypnotic state llbt-rat? thefir higher powers. There is a rtory tolJ about ahe great Henry Clay. When he once ti.anied to speak, and when in itiha full ti3 of Ka oratory, he forgot himself and nearly always sat down exhausttd. So one ni&'ht when he was about to ep:ak he told a friend to stop him afiitr five minutes. The friend allowed him to speak ten, and then pulled his cci''.-i:alls, but Clay paid no attenLion. After .'.lfteen minutes he stuck a pin Into him and then stuck a blade of a penknife into his leg and continued to do to at Intervals for an hour and a half, when the orator eat down completely exhausted and com pletely oblivious to what his friend had been doing, asking: 'Have I been (speak ing more than five minutes?" That was claimed that hs was self-hypnotized. Succl the Italian who farted for forty jx days once in New York city, always claimed that he was self-hypnotised. Hypnotism was one of the subjects discussed by the America!. Association of Psychologists at a recent meeting In Princeton. These psychologists deny that a person In a hypnotic state can perform any act which 'is not done cus tomarily by him when In a normal state of mind. A hypnotized man will not commit crime unless he Is a habitual criminal, nor will a man commit mur der unless he is a confirmed man-killer. If a person is hypnotized and the sug gestion Is made to him that he stab a man, he will go through the motions of plunging a knife into his opponent's body if a paperknlfe or ruler Is placed In his hand, but if "a dagger is given him he will only pretend to stab. The same rule applies if a suggestion Is made that he shoot some imaginary person. I'nder no circumstances will he fire a loaded revolver in the direc tion of Ms supposed foe. Experiment In Hypnotism, Dr. McDonald, of Washington, Is a student of hypnotism. He Is a pupil of Dr. Bernhardt, under whom he studied for some time. At an example of the power of the operator over a patient, he said that Bernhardt had hypno tized a group of men In a hospital so frequently that when he entered the room all he had to do was to raise his finger and the men fell promptly Into a hypnotic sleep. At the commence ment of the experiment he had lab ored over some of the men for two hours before they succumbed. With each repetition the hypnotic .state was obtained 1n a shorter period of time. None of the men suffered from mental maladies, but all were victims of pul monary weaknesses. Dr. McDonald said that In hypnotism the upper eyelids were tired and caused to fall as in sleep, and they remained closed from exhaustion. A person could hypnotize himself almost as easily as an operator could pn-jfiuce the Illusion. AH he had to do was to look steadily at some object and allow his mind to be passive. Every one who had tried the experiment knew that a felling of diz ziness and numbness came over him after a short time. The doctor uses two Instruments in the production of the hypnotic state. One consists of a row of small revolving mirrors, at which the patient looks steadily. The sec ond consists of a velvet band fastened about the forehead, from which a silver ball hangs dependent and so arranged that It rests on the forehead above the nose, and directly between the eyes. The patient must look upward steadily, and allow his mind to be free from any train of thought. Dr. McDonald stands beside him and suggests his mental state. "Now your eyes are heavy," he says. "You are going to sleep." Your eyes close." "Your eyelids." "They were shut." "They are shut." "You are asleep." Any suggestion made by the operator will be carried out, pro vided the patient performs) the act customarily when awake.' According to the doctor talking In the sleep la a form of self-hypnotism, of which somnambulism Is the highest form. One Is an Illusion in which the muscles of the Jaws and tongue act. In the second form, which Is more ad vanced, the patient sits up In bed, and In the third and highest, he, walks In his sleep. At no time will he perform an act of violence. Hypnotic crime Is an Impossibility, unless a criminal Is hypnotized. Notwithstanding the teach ings of German hypnotists, a jury In that country .had recently found a man guilty., the doctor said, and the judge had given him a light) sentence, as he believed that the man had committed the crime while hypnotized. Should, at any time, the operator say to the patient that he was not falling asleep, or ridicule him In any way, he will awaken at once. ' Other Strains F.xpsrlenets. ' W. R. NewfooH gave the results on the experimental production of Illusions and hallucinations, and exhibited his apparatus and mode of work.' 'He taild he had a crystal ball, which rested on-a blaok4ndia rubber stand. This, on one occasion, he laced In the lap of ft young tody and asked her to look at the ball steadily. While looking at the ball, the young lady said tnUt after a few mo ments she saw reflection, which she had not noticed before. They would loom up and then- disappear. Then the ball became smoky and figures ran aibout on it All was confused. A fig ure of the coloaseum appears with a door on It. Now it has changed Into an animal Now It Is like a Uttle old. man with a large red nose, and the Colosse um In the background. The building grows more distinct. The little old man reappears, . hut looks younger. . He winks and looks backward over his choulder. He won't go away. There Is now a helmet on his head. He looks like Roman soldier. The patient was asked to close her eyes, and she said she saw nothing. When she opened her eye again the man 'had changed into a bear. The experiment occupied twenty three minutes. The only after effects were a slight betidache and a strain of the eyes. The patient explained that she had not seen the colotseum since she was 13 years of age, and that she did not recognize the old man. Dr. James told a story in support of Newboid's experiments. He eukl that a friend of his placed a number of knives In a box for safe keeping and then closed the house for the summer. On her return m the fall she forgot where she had placed the knives. Every effort to recall the incident failed. She read in a physiological review thut if a per son forgets an article and wishes to re call its storage place he will often be successful if he look steadljy In a mirror for some time. She tried It, but could not remember where she placed the knives. Finally she grew- Impatient at her apparent waste of time and threw down the har.d-glass with' an exclama tion about her silliness. As f he did so the Image of u box with a projection passed before her eyes. Dr. James as serted that the woman arose and with out volition took a chair, carried It acrosj the room and pluced 'it before a wardrobe. She mounted the chair and, reaching to the top of the wardrobe found the box. with the carving knife extending a a n angle above the rest of the knives. AN ARCHITECT'S DREAM. He Plans a Hundred Story nulldlnsWhich Would Cost ,750,OO0 and Weigh 32,. 500 Tons. From the Cleveland World. One cold day last' winter when Vin cent E. Gregg, the architect, sat with his feet propped up against a glowing base-burner stove and mused upon the possibilities or his profession, there suddenly came to him the idea of his 100-story building, the plans of which, although Just completed, have created quite a furore among his acquaint ances. Many men with less Ingenuity would have dismissed the subject of the day dream as chimerical, but somc'.vilng Impelled Mr. Gregg to Investigate whether or not the scheme was prac ticable, and having ascertained that It was, a strange fascination Inherent In the work held his attention until there had been completed the evolution of one of the most remarkable projects yet planned. For New York. The building Is yet on paper. Here tofore no mention has been made of the matter, and as yet Mr. Gregg has received no overtures for the plans. He has no doubt, however, t'hat it will be built (by a syndicate, of course), and selects New York as the most probable elte. The building will be ISO feet square and 100 stories or 1,200 feet in height. It will be of modern fireproof construc tion and will be finished exactly sim ilar to the Ohio building now In course of erection In this city. The founda tion, which would be pyramidal In fhape and of solid concrete, would ex tend to a depth of 150 feet below the surface of the earth and also extend 50 feet beyond the extreme confines of the structure proper. In other words, the famous "spreading" theory, from which was worked such a successful construc tion in the case of the famous Efflel tower at Paris, will foe employed, and It Is In order to secure the bed rock so requisite for a satisfactory foundation .hat 'Mr. Gregg favors New York as a prospective site for the structure. The first floor supports will consist of 20-lnch Z bars so placed that a lateral space of 10 feet will remain, while the tiers will be 16 feet apart. The strength and weight of the bars will be decreased according to the height by removing plates. The building will weigh in the neighborhood of 22,500 tons, instead of the sway bracing bars and rods usu ally employed and which would be ut terly Inadequate to withstand the great force of the wind, special plate girder sway bracing will be used. To Con $,7S0,000. The cost of the building Is estimated at 16,750,000, and a force of 1,153 men Would be required for a period of four years to complete It. Of course the permanent derrick could not be utilized and an elevator would have to be con ctructed to serve as a vehicle for the transportation of the material neces sary for the construction. Mr. Gregg thinks that after the 20th story was reached many of the workmen would prefer to live rigiht in the building, at least during the week. The little cupola on the roof was especially designed for a hydrographlc and signal service of fice, while the remainder of the space on top of the building will be occupied by a roof garden. Parachute Jumps from the garden might be Introduced aa a feature. Of course the building will have all modern Improvements, and some even more recent. Transportation will be afforded by 10 rapid transit elevators which will run at the rate of 300 feet per mlr.'Ute. The elevator shafts will be spiral in form, thus making it Impos sible for a car to fall any great dis tance in case of accident. Electricity will furnish the light and heat for the building, as w?U as the motive power for the elevators. A new utilization of the magic fjuld will also aid In the free circulation of air through the inner cor ridors, thus Insuring the perfect venti lation of the entire building. The build ing will also ha ve its own water system, storage tanks being placed upon every floor., An Improved form of mall shute will be provided, and the delivery of mall will be facilitated by aystem of pneumatic tubes. Other features will be a messenger service for use In the building, a telephone exchange (without any addition to the present high rates), and a new electric bell system for sum moning the janitors, porters, and other attendants. Meals In Their Office. There will be a restaurant on the 99th floor end It will be connected with dumb waiters to tfliat persons who de sire may have their meala seeved In their offices. The restaurant and bar ber shop will be open andi several of the elevators Will run all .night. On the 88th floor a number of furnished rooms will be arranged so that tenants who are "unavoidably detained by urgent business'" will not be compelled to re turn home unless they desire. In the case of the man who wishes to notify his wife of his Inability to return home an exception to the general rule will be made, and the general messenger boys will be permitted to carry messages to destinations outside the building. .The dynamos will be located in the base ment, power being furnished by Ave 300 horse power engines.' In the Excelsior building the usual order will be re versed, and the rent of the rooms and offices near the roof will be materially greater than those nearer the fro tux). There are several reasons for this, one being the healthful effects of the highly-rarefied atmosphere and another the fact that the "high" tenants would not be bothered by files during the summer. A large balcony will extend from the J 98th story. It will be especially de signed for fireworks displays on the Fourth of July and other festive occa sions. Of course, special construction is required. Inasmuch as it wUI be nec essary to fire all the rockets, Roman candles, etc., downward Instead of up ward. In speaking of the project Mr. Gregg said "I am confident that the sheme Is entirely practicable, and if land should continue to Increase In value I would not be surprised If such a struc ture should be erected." HISTORY OF A FAM01S WAR. The Cumberland Vallsy Railroad Recalls s Celebrated Incident In Rallwsy Aaasls by Purchasing the Sooth Pens Road. Philadelphla.July 26. Announcement Is made that the Cumberland Valley railroad has purchased the maps, un finished road and general effects of the South Pennsylvania Railroad company and that corporation has ceased to be an independent organzltion. The Cumberland Valley is controlled by the Pennsylvania railroad, so that the famous South Pennsylvania, despite the decrees of court and the Constitution or Pennsylvania, has lawfully, though rather ignomlniously, fallen Into the hands of the Pennsylvania. Ten years ago there was a great stir Over this matter. The Vanderbilts, the great owners of railroads, and the Pennsylva nia came into conflict during a period when the four original "trunk lines" were almost always at odds. The Vanderbilts were piqued at what they thought was the encroachment of the Pennsylvania railroad Into their New Kngland territory. They began a mairnlfleent war of rates, and finally William H. Vanderbilt threw his for tune Into the fight and announced that he would retaliate by building the Beech Creek road Into the heart of the Penn sylvania's rich bituminous coal pre serves, and would even parallel the Pennsylvania's main line by construct ing the South Pennsylvania. The vig orous attitude of Mr. Vanderbilt was In some respect due to a notion that the Pennsylvania was encouraging the West Shore project, which paralleled the main line of the New York Central. This road was really projected end built by some Wall street people, who hoped to repeat the success of George I. Seney, who had recently constructed and sold to the Vanderbilts the Nickel Plate road, which paralleled the Lake Shore. Emhnrrsncd Even Jnv Gould. ' The situation was seized by Wall rireet speculators and as the rate cut ting and useless railroad construction went on, the bears reaped a rich harvest In the gTeat fall in stock values. Their campaign put a stop to the Vanderbilt dividends, and Incidentally put even the great Jay Gould temporarily In a posi tion In which he was not able to respond to the calls of his bank. The bears pre tended that A. J. Cassatt was to be made president of the West Shore. At the height of the contest, when It seemed as if there was to be a com plete wiping out of railroad values in Wall street, and the Vanderbilts were energetically pushing their new lines In Pennsylvania, P lerpont Morgan ap peared one day nt the old Pennsylvania office on Fourth street, and told President Roberts that he controlled the New York Central and that the useless war must cease. Mr. Roberts was of the same opinion and soon after, In connection with other trunk line mag nates, the 'matter was arranged. It was agreed that the Vanderbilts should take the West Shore and the Pennsyl vania should obtain possession of the Beech Creek and the South Pennsylva nia and that hostilities should cease. Taken Into the Courts. These acquisitions, 'tremendous In those days, excited public interest so far that the deal was taken Into the courts and successfully contested, A decision was finally reached which pre vented Its being carried Into execution. Under the terms of the agreement the Pennsylvania railroad was to buy the Southern Pennsylvania for $1,500,000, and the Beech Creek road was to be leased to the Northern Central. After a long litigation the court refused to allow either of these contracts to be ex ecuted. In the meantime, however, more harmonious relations were brought about at the Inception of the deal which resulted In a much better state of affairs In the railroad world and In a peace between the Vander bilts and the Pennsylvania, which to this day has never seriously been broken. The Vanderbilts kept the Beech Creek road, stopped the con struction of the Southern Pennsyl vania and now all that is left of the latter great project has fallen Into the hands of the Pennsylvania railroad. ", WELSH ECHOES. Altogether there are 120 churches, chap els and mission stations In Cardiff. At the beglning of the present century there were less than 2,000 persons living In Cardiff. The Baptist church ot Pengam has given a unanimous invitation to J. Mere dith Jones, of the Baptist college, Car diff, to become Its pastor. The vacant Chair of Humanity at Edin burgh has attracted, amongst other can didates. Professor Conway, of University college, Cardiff. The first Lord Tredegar was created in 18.19 and the first Marquis of Bute In 1795. This year only one North Wales mixed choir will compete at the Llanelly Na tional Eisteddfod, that of Wauntawr, pear Carnarvon. One ladles' choir will also compete, and this will come from Carnar von town Itself. In addition to the grant of 100 to Hwfa Mon, Lord Roseberry, before leaving of fice, gave directions for the payment of a grant of the same amount out of the Royal Bounty to Charles Ashton, of Dlnas Mawddwy, In recognition of his ex cellent services to Welsh literature. The choirs led by Dan Davlea, Merthyr, have won in the aggregate prizes amount ing to 2,200, of which 600 was with the present Merthyr Choral society. This well known conductor has never been defeated. He led the Dowlais choir at the Aberdare National Eisteddfod some years ago, and will conduct the Merthyr In the chief competition at the forthcoming Llanelly National Eisteddfod The Rev. Owen Davles, the well known Baptist minister of Carnarvon, has had the title of D. D. conferred upon him by the Colgate University, New York. Dr. Davles has contributed largely to the the ological literature of Wales, and he Is now engaged in reproducing the entire works of the celebrated Christmas Evans. All who know him will admit that the Rev. Owen- Davlea thoroughly merits the de gree conferred upon him. R. 8.

Work That .Pastors and Evangelists Are Engaged in. Spiced with Personal Gossip, There have been many novel church social affairs this summer, and that or last night given by the Christian En deavorers of the Gree Ridge Presby terian church was In keeping with what seems to have been a summer series of pleasantries In which the various churches have combined. It was an impromptu affair, given principally to bear the report of Miss Minnie Wade, who was a delegate to the recent Chris tian Endeavor convention in Boston. The social was held In the church parlors, whose decoratons of bunting and flowers were In red and white, the Boston convention colors; the idea was even displayed In the arrangement of the tables. The evening was appro priately called a "Boston echo," and was free to the large gathering of En deavorers and their friends. Light re freshments were served, and vocal mu sic was furnished by an Impromptu quartette. Miss Wade's report was comprehensive and of great Interest. Washington camp. No. 342.. Patriotic Order Sons of America, will attend di vine worship tomorrow evening at tne Green Ridge United Evangelical church. The sermon by the pastor will be In in terest to the principles of that order. Sejveral other camps have been Invited to Join. The subject for tomorrow's meeting at the Young Women's Christian asso ciation will be "Rahab," Miss Edith Rowlands, leader. All young women are earnestly Invited to be present. Don't forget the time. 4 o'clock p. m 205 Washington avenue. Open Air Services. The open air Sunday services con ducted by the Young Men's Christian association in Nay Aug park on account of their novelty. Interest and benefit continue to be one of the frequent topics of conversation In religious circles. They are held between 4 at.id 5 o'clock In a natural amphitheater of rocks near the Elmhurst boulevard on 'the west side of the Roaring Brook, where many hundreds of people are at tracted, tome from curiosity and many by (he spirit of religious thirst. As In its other works, the Young Mew's Chris tian association conducts the open air meetings in a practical ar.d attractive way best calculated to catoh the at tention of that aimless and large Sun day contingent which someone has apt ly described as "floaters." There are no long prayers nor theoretical sermon izing, but there is presented enjoyable slnglrg led by the association's glee club of twelve male voices and a dif ferent sneaker talks for only ten or fif teen minutes eacih Sunday. The speak er tomorrow will be F. W. Pearrall, general secretary of the railroad de partment of the Young Men's Chris tian association. Change of Organists. Not a little conjecture 'has been cre ated by proposed changes In the orgar. ir.ts and musical directors of dm Park and the Second Presbyterian churches. Following the announcements of rhe resignations of ProfessorCarter, of Elm Park, and Professor Roohwetll, of the Second Presbyterian church. It was stated that Professor Rockwell would succeed the Elm Park organist. A members of the music committee is au thority that Professor Carter's succes sor has not been named nor will defi nite action Ibe taken for probably a month. Alfred Woo'ler, the tenor solo ist, will no doubt accept a proposition from the Boecher church of Elmlra, Which has engaged Professor Carter. The new organist of the Second Pres byterian church will be Professor J. Melville Chance, recently the head of the School of Music and Art, of Seda 11a, Mo. He Is engaged Jointly by the church ar.d the Young Men's Christian association, and for the latter he will serve as director of Instrumental music. Aside from his duties as church organ ist he will dlreot the choir, of .whldh W. C. Weeden will toe 'tfho tonor soloist. Professor Chance Is a friend of George G. 'Many, general secretary of the Young. Men's Christian association, at whose home he has been visiting for some time. Recently 'he has been Ettudyir.ig his ant In New York city. May Conduct Another Campaign. It is probable that Evangelist Schle vera. In whose work much Interest was shown here last year, will conduct a tent campaign on the South Side dur ing August. Prominent pasitors are considering the matter and will soon begin active effort to secure personal contributions In aid of the movement. 1'he South Side Is the only section of the city that was not included in either the Moody or Schlevora campaigns, and it Is expected that the work will be at tended with great enthusiasm. Epworth leaguers, ot Elm Park church, and their friends are with pleasure anticipating next Friday night's leclture by Rev. L. R. Janney, who for nearly eleven years was a resi dent missionary In India. He was a scftiool chum of Captain W. A. May. The lecturer's Itinerary includes several subjects pertaining to India, but by re quest his topic here will be "Jungle Life." The lecture Is spoken of as be ing especially good, and free from ptock stories and alleged witticisms and full of facts, told in a most entertain- Ing way, of that far-off land of won ders. Bishop W. X. Nlnde says that Mr. Janney "as a lecturer on India, its customs and manners, has few equals." Large Temperance Gathering, .What gives promise of being one of the largest temperance gatherings of recent years in this region will be the seventh annual temerance reunion at Mountain park, Wednesday, Aug. 5. The principal speaker will be the fa mous Hton. John G. Wooley, of Chicago. Special trains will be run over the sev eral railroads entering Scran ton, which will connect with the main 'train from here at 8.20 a. m. via the Jersey Cen tral road. There will be reduced fares from all points. "Gorgeous" and "magnificent" are two adjectives used In describing the night pageant of Illuminated boats to be seen on Lake Ariel during the re ception of the First iPresbyterian church choir and a party of Invited guests next Wednesday.
