ASSOCIATION'S BIG NIGHT
Formal Winter Opening an! Reception
of the Y. M. C. A.
THOUSAND GUESTS ATTENDED
They Were Young Man and Boys of
All tiorts-Entertainment Offered
Was Just to Their Liking.
Many New Members.
liart night was a red-letter night In
tne history of the Young Men s ClirW'
tlan asocla'tlii. U witnessed the for
mal open-big for tihe winter of the edu
rational -dcpanlment and manual train
ing school, now jointly known as the
John dtayniond Institute and the occa
sion also Included the Introduction of
the nw heads of deiwrtments and the
large corps of teachers.
Fur the occasion the association had
Issued over 4,000 Invitations to tho
young men of the city, irrespective of
race, creed or tvlor; and It was estimat
ed that those pro-sent numbered about
1.000. For their entt-rtalivmeut the f-
llcens had wisely arranged a sort of
runnlnir pot-poui i l of vocal and tnntru
mental music and refreshments Instead
of 'tihe old ond tedious programme of
stiff and elereotypcd character. The
main an-d third floors were lighted by
an extra numbt.r uf iiManiiescents wid
were attractlvrly arranged with palms
ar.'d ferns, while the fourth floor, which
will be used for the industrial depart
ments of ithe InwtMute, was thrown
open for inspection.
. The work of the Young IMn's Chris
tian assoK'latlon ad an encouragement
for moral, mental, spiritual and physi
cal advancement could not have been
moiv t'lonticr.uly poptruyed thani by 'the
'Uhrons which comfortably tilled the
largo building, tlray heads were a
Kcarce quantity or wcro entirely iibn-nt
The visitors were nlinoct exclusively a
reprt'ftentat'lve gathering of hiirdy
youn 'maii'lioiwl. Tl( -re -were jMiuti'jt
boy ainil yciiiijf men. well dressed and
badly dtw-sed, blaok-hulivd and red
haired, erpct anil crooked 1i fact all
kinds of boys und young men, Includ
ing, possibly, sotutf ,lwd ones. The
probability that some bad ones were
mixed In the .throng ws remarked to
President 'Dickson, and ihls comnunt
well Illustrates a prerling principle of
the association. He said:
U iint tho (iood and Bad Hoys.
"I don't hope these are bad boys, but
I dv hope the bad ones are her?; we
want them, and we -want tilie good ones,
of course. This association ta for boys
and young men. If atiy of our mem
bers are bad they might better be wl'ih
us and become purer than be out In the
world anj become worsi."
A very large number of those present
came as a result of a reet nt census of
the youjirf men of the city. The censu
occupied six months and was made by
six agent .s employed by the association
wihich obtained a record of every yuung
man In Hcranton. Several wejka ago
4,000 lc-rssonal filters, sealed and
stamped and signed by the general aw-
rftary. were mailed ito the yciing mn
and boys of the eity, telijni th?m ot
what tfl-e association had to olrer In a
general way, bidding them weliwno to
the building and referring particularly
to the educational department and its
cost. These 4 000 letters were followed
a few days ago with a prospectus of tht
John Raymond institute and am Inven
tion to the opening, and 'the result was
more than eaWsfaotory.
In the throng were several young men
from as far t.p the valley as Carbon
dale and aa far south as Mooslc who
came purposely to attend the opening.
There were four young Bohemians from
Peckvllle, who entered the educational
department. In all about fifty young
men, unsolicited, paid membership fees
of S7 each, and many paid tl extra and
registered as students in one of the
educational courses, or in cxtar for reg
istration In one of the industrial
classes.
It was snon after 8 o'clock tihat the
formal opening was Inaugurated ln the
lecture hall, which was tilled. After a
prayer by Rev. Dr. C. E. Robinson, se
lections were rendered 'by Conrad's or
chestra and the choir of the First Pres
byterian church. President A. .
Dickson Fpoko briefly, and in his usual
brisk and happy vein, and Introduced
if. It. Burroughs, superintendent of
the manual 'training department; Phy
sical Director A. I". JIofT and J. M.
Clhan-ce, professor of Instrumental
music. tii-net'! Secretary Mahy lu-
troduced the following corps of teach
ers: A. F. Taripen, business depart
ment; F. H. Hampson, assistant, busi
ness department; John T. Jones, Eng
lish branches; Ralph A. Lyon, free
hand drawing; Tallle Morgnn. vocal
music; John L. Richards, W. M. Hill
and H. 11. Wheeler.
Thoy Inspected tho Building.
Following the formality In the lec
ture hall all were treated to a feamt of
fruit, served from tables on the third
floor, and the next hour was spent ln
wandering at will through the large
building. There was mix n music, and
good music, meanwhile, vocal and In
strumental, rendered by the choir and
the orchestra, and when at 10.H0 o'clock
the thing was ended there must have
been conslderalile satisfaction to tho
officers.
Of General Secretary Mahy, to whose
efforts the success of the opening Is
chiefly due, a comment by one of the
wc'll-known officers of the association
seems approving. He said, referring to
Mr. Mahy, "His soul ls In the work
and he's got 'brains'

FACTS ABOUT USE OF CM
Professor Harvey E. Mole, of Cornell,
Asks fur Them.
SECRETARY ATHERTON'S REPLY
To the Effect That Scranton Possesses an
Inexbaustabla Supply of That Kind
of Cheap Fuel-Growing Agita
tion About Vso of Culm.
At frequent Intervals there comes to
the board of trade's secretary, D. H.
Atherton, some new assurance that
culm as a fuel is beyond simple theory
and is receiving practical as 'well as
scientific uttentlon. This Is illustrated
In a letter received yesterday from one
of the lecturers of the mechanical engi
neering department of Cornell univer
sity and asking for facts and llgures
which might 'be used 1n a lecture to the
students. The letter is as follows:
D. B. Atherton, Esq., Secretary Board of
Trade, Scranton, Pa,
Dear Sir 1 am preparing a aper to be
reuu wrote me stuilents In the mechanical
engineering coiirte ut Cornell on "Anthra
cite Culm for Fuel PurKises," and 1 tnko
the. liberty of writing to you and asking
you to send mo any circulars or reading
mutter you have relating to the subject.
The culm piles, uh I remember them, lire
Very close to hcranton and consequently
just where a manufacturing plunt would
be established.
In the event that a large manufacturing
center be established at Scnuiton, und In
time thus reduce the present culm piles,
would the culm from the dully mining of
coal be sulllclent to supply this center?
und, also, Is any particular kind of lire
grnto needed for burning the culm?
Huplug you can leu I me some assist
ance ill this matter 1 uin, respectfully,
llurvey E. Mule.
Ithaca, N. Y.. Oct. 5.
Kcply of Secetury Atherton.
Secretary Atherton's reply to the
foregoing was aa follows:
Harvey 11. Mole. I:haeu, N. Y.
Dear Sir Replying to your valued favor
of the 5lh lil.-'t., 1 Fend you under sepa
rate cover a copy of our twenty-fourth an
nual report, which contains mi article on
cheup fuel that will uld you In preparing
your paper. The supply of culm In this
valley Is Inexhaustible, ami In Ihe event
of tho many enormous plies being enllr,.
ly used for fuel purposes, the daily min
ing would be Milllclent to supply any or
dinary demand for tho next titty or one
hundred years.
it requires a special grate to success
fully burn culm. There 1m a concern here
that manufactures grates for this especial
purpose, they being so constructed that
any size of coal or culm can bo economic
ally burned with the very best results.
This subject of the utilization of the
culm ImnK Tor fuel Is commanding wide
spread attention, und Is being cominerituj
upon by sclemtidc men all over the coun
try, nnd nt no distant day the snthriieito
valley, of which Scmntnn ls the metro
polls, will be the great manufacturing
center of the east, power for which will
be supplied from the culm bank. Yours
truly, D. It. Atherton, Secretary.
Scranton, Ta., Oct. 7.
It Is Commanding Attention.
The correspondence Is an evidence
that the agitation of the future use of
the cu'lm pile Is not strictly confined to
hollow talk and paper, and the board of
tradV olllcers, who are most sanguine
of the value of culm as a manufactur
ing fuel, are highly elated that the
question will occupy the thougnt of mi
cliuiilcal engineering students. it Is
upon the present younger generation of
engi'.neuM and manufacturers that the
matter largely rests.

phia: We will cast the plates about 2 o'clock

iMr. Pltcnlrn replied that he nnd
others will be here to witness the rolling
of the plates. The test will be seml
prlvate, but will be witnessed by news
paper men In addition to the capitalists
mentioned nnd ofllcers of the company.
This restriction has been made neces
sary owing to the post experience that
the presence of many onlookers mndo

partial failures before the successful
test Inst week. Then two perfect plates
Were rolled and placed In the annealing
oven, where they were kept until yes

terday afternoon one was perfect and
solid; the other had been scratched for
half its length by a piece of cinder,
which caused a crack. However, the
test fully demonstrated that glass can
be rolled perfectly, and when the re
sult was known yesterday the twenty
ftlasj woikers were no less pleased than
Mr. Bonta, the InvenTor, and they
cheered lustily for several minutes.
The original issues or Bonta stock
were Bold last year at from $8 to $15,
and, as Is usually the case, nervous
holders sold at the original price until
after the second test was made about
ten daya ago, when the market was
steady at from $15 to $18. Last Friday
and Saturday, after the plates had been
transferred from the rolling machine
to the oven without breaking, the price
went up to $20, nnd yestePday ruled at
from ':!. 60 to $25.

Kpruks, Charles II. iMlller, Thomas Dale
and T. It. iHrooks.
The gentlemen named were In the

pleted the purchase. The Impression
was given by them that they were act
ing as Individuals, but the report was
current lust night that the buying was
really done by theil'ocono Ice company.
To a Tribune reporter laBt night a
member of the party declined to specify
the names of the lakes bought or the
amount of money used.
While strict secrecy was maintained
regarding the details of the deal the
gentleman admitted the purchase, and
willingly discussed It In a general way.
He said that ice houses will lie built
Immediately with a capacity of from
fiu.ouu to 75.000 tons, and that about S5,
000 tons additional will ibe harvested for
early shipment.
The market for the Ice, he said, will
