Tho Mission elected Officers
for tho Issuing Year.
At the second annual mcettnff of the
Florence Crlttenbm mission yesterday
afternoon In the Yotins Men's Christian
association rooms otllcers were elected
for the ensuing year, reports were made
Ty thepreslilent.Mrs.il. M. Bookstaver:
the treasurer. Mrs. W. U. Taylor, and
the matron. Mrs. A. E. Snxton, und
other 'business was transacted.
iMrs. Hookstaver said In her report:
Our socletv, though still In its childhood.
Is rapidly growing, anil we feel now that
the mission Is nn assured fact aixl has
come to stav. Numbers of homeless wo
men have been cared for during the past
vear, and some who have needed protec
tion from their own families, have found
a shelter with us.
luiring the greater part of the year our
home has been full, and sometimes un
comfortably so. We have felt for months
pest that our quarters were getting too
strait for us. and the need of a larger
home, In a better part of the city, where
the surrounding would be more healthy
with regard to the moral atmosphere, nnd
where wo call have some grounds where
the girls can have more fresh air ami
something lu the way of a garden to Inter
est them. This Is exceedingly Imtmrtnnt.
as It Is hard to be shut up during the
warm summer months und no space even
to exercise. We feel that this larger
home l very much needed. We need nlso
one or two rooms for a receiving station
and n place to hold nightly meetings right
In the slums.
MajoritT Aro Saved.
We do not expect that nil wfio come to
us will be rescued from lives of shsme.
but we do believe the greater part of the
women who come tn the mission will
eventually be saved, for they are all earn
estly tnken to the throne of grace, nnd
we believe that we shall receive what we
ask for. It Is not In the girls we nut our
trust, but In c,o l, who has .promised to
answer the believing prayer.
Wo would like to thank all those who
have In any way befriended th" cause bv
!her gifts, rlther o' money, clothing, food,
fuel or omforts of any kind, nnd It will
surely rive them pleasure to know that
their glf's have not been wasted or unap
preciated. Two of our gl-ls who have given their
hearts to the Savior have entered the
House of Mercy. In Whtncton. l. '.,
where they will be educated for Christian
or mission work; another has gone to New
York city to go Into training there for
Wlslon. work, and another It has seeme.l
h.'st to sen, t, a home In Philadelphia,
that she mny be separated from bud fnml
lv Influences. These all go of course wl'h
their own consent, as we keep prict'onliv
nn op. n-door mission. Oul' a number of
'he Kills are living out In Christian fami
lies. We would earnestly bespesk the active
Interest nnd consideration of ;he peonle
of 8 'ranton to onrry on this work In the
cnnilnir y.ar. We bnve received nun'ber.
lrs fvvorH, we rnl'rht almost say, from
all k" Is and conditions of men. and es
pecially from the m rcbriflts.
This mis-don Is scm' thlng that omrht to

mothers nvl fathers pi town, nn I from the
surrounding communities ab-o. for llv n

A mldte-aired woman came to us ten
months niro, rendered lielrdess bv n broken
limb whleh he got In a drunken brawl In
a house of Ill-repute; she gladly arcepted
Christ.
We have had a Hlble lesson bv O I,.
Field every week th past year. We have
one now on Wednesday afternoon, taught
by Hev. Mr. VoArthiir. nnd Friday even
ing by .1. C, MeA-kle. These are produc
tive of good, as the glf's prove by their
testimonies.
We are glad to report the ease of a plrl
of this cltv whose taarcnts were thorough
ly discouraged t-vlng to lead hr rleht.
Ve took her reluctantly, nnd the f'rst
few months had many misgivings. Tint
she became submissive nnd learned to do
her work well, and at the nd of eight
months she showed such nn Improvement
t'net her parent" took her home. We ended
thorn a month later and found her doing
well.
Sample of Deprnvltv.
We have at the home now a girl of la
vear. who Is almost wholly depraved.
The woman she calls mother Is not wor
thy the sacred name of mother. Sh has
taught the child to swear, to drink, to
chew tobacco and every nthc vice that is
known among bad neoplo. This woman,
herself. Is living with a colored man. and
has encouraged the little girl to share her
own shame. The child was tnkon away
from ber bv the authorities nnd brought
here. We find her wil'lng to be taught
nnd naturally perceptive. She hns been
here now only one month, and has lenrned
her letters nnd has learned to read tho
flrt chnpterof John. We ask. dear friends,
what would this girl become In a few
venrs later on was there not a door of
hor.e opened to her?
We acknowledge with thnnkfulness the
kindness of resident physicians who come
whenever their services are required, free
of charge. We thnnk all of our frlnds
Who have klmllv remembered us with food.

DESERVED TRIBUTE.
Faets Tell Why a Popular Shoo Firm
' ' . IWservcs Its Sucschs.
Scranton 'boasts of many up-to-date
retail stores -whose stocks and method
of doing business compare fuvorubly.
with the establishments found In large
cities This comment sugRests the shoe
store of Schank and Koehler, nt 410
Spruce street. The uprlfrht business
character of the two members of the
firm, their modern and well-appointed
store Interior, their complete stock nnd
the corps of elllclent clerks Is a combi
nation which desrves tribute.
"New," "good." "stylish" and "sat
isfaction" nre four ordinary words
which mean a good deaf to Schank &
Koehler. but which nre more Important
to this popular firm's customers. Old
poods they do not keep. The stock Is
always fresh nnd embodies nil the best
nnd latest kinks known to shoe manu
facturers. This is one point of consid
erable Importance to rSchank & Koehler
as It has met with the aproval of per
sons who know how ti dress their
feet nnd hns helped to buli'.I the store's
trade up to Its present large propor
tions. Every sensible person knows that the
quality and style of a shoe depends on
the manufacturer Instead of the dealer,
fehnnk & Koehler know this, nnd 'have
confined their buylnpr of men'B shoes
almost exclusively to K. II. Stetson nnd
N. Curtis & Co. This policy of buying
large quantities from only a few manu
facturers redounds to the advantage of
the buyer, ns the producer 1st more anx
ious to please the dealer nnrl In the end
the consumer ns well as the 'dealer Is
benefited. That Is a plain and simple
fact.
The Indies' shoes nre mnilo specially
to the order of the firm. This policy se
cures the best results ns the goods pro
cured are what nre suitable and want
ed by the Scranton women. Just now
the "new woman's" shoes nre In de
mand and of this article the store Is
supplied with a pleaslnir and varied
variety. This comment plvos merely
h suggestion of how the store keeps in
touch with the demands of Its patrons,
Tbt clerks have Instructions not to Im
portune visitors to buy, which Is n poli
cy to In- appreciated by customers who
wish "Ij look around" before pur
chasing. LISTENING TO ARGUMENTS.

Found Lying on tho Knllmnd.
As the Delaware and Hudson trnlns were
passing each other near Carbon street yes.
terday afternoon at 2, mi o'clock, one of tho
employes on the north bound train asplcd
n man lying prostrnto between the tracks.
The train was stopped and backed up to
tho spot where the man was lying, lie
was found to be Insensible, but no In
juries were apparent. The man was car
ried aboard the train to Oreen Itidge and
deposited nt the station, where a Lacka
wanna hospital ambulance was summoned
to convey him to tho hnnpltal. The hos
pltnl staff found that tho man had been
struck with nothing more serious than
Jersey lightning, nnd as the fellow could
not be roused from his drunken stupor,
tho hospital authorities had him taken to
the station house In tho patrol wagon.
He partly recovered his senses about 9
o'clock Inst night, but could not be made
to understand or answer questions. A
pass-book found on his persun containing
the names of Ilarnle White and Jonathan
l'arry. It was made out by tho Natalie
Store company, of Natalie, Pa. Later In
the night ho acted as If he was In great
agony. .

Joe Domond, an Italian banana vender,
who does business from a push-cart on
Lackawanna avenue, was sent to the
county Jail for ten days by Alderman Mil
lar yesterday for falling to keep on the
move, as required by the city ordinances.
The committment was made on tho testi
mony of Constable Joseph Woelkers, but
in Justice to Alderman Millar It should be
stated that he administered the prescribed
penalty with reluctance. The alderman
remitted the usual fine, but ordered the
prisoner to pay the costs, which amounted
to 2.M, In default of which he sent him to
the county Jail. The constable receives fl
from the costs paid In each of these cases.

Scranton' I astern League Franchise to
Ilo Sold to Fall Hiver.
At a meeting of the Scranton Base
Hall association -directors last night It
was decided to sell .the Scranton East
ern league franchbe to fall Hlver par
ties, who, bid S'-VXaO. 'Newark offered
Jjt'.SOO. The Fall Hlver people will today
be otllclally notified of the acceptance
of their offer.
These facts were told a Tribune re
porter In an Interview with President
Hetts last night. He said Scranton will
be represented 1n the State league
next year, but that the players on the
reserve list nre Included In the pur
chase of the Eastern franchise.
A few weeks ago Scranton parties of
fered $i!.C00 for the franchise. The of
fer was refused, as the present owners
are unwilling to sell to local buyers for
less than from $r.000 to $3,000, on the
ground that If the Eastern franchise
changed hands In this city It would pre
vent the present ownera from conduct
ing aetnte league club. There Is a pos
sibility that tenlay the association will
be paid Its price by Scranton parties
who will be lrifluonocd more by their
opposition to Stnte league base ball
than by their anxiety to become mag
na tos In. tho Eastern league.

W. J. Hurke Says that the special dis

which appeartd In yesterday's Times,
was. In his opinion. Incorrect. The
concluding -l.ui"e particularly galls
Mr. Hurke. "It Is believed that Colonel
Colquitt's rejxirt will entirely t-xoncr-ate
Collector Herring from all blame."
This, he avers, was printed with the
purpose of discouraging him. "I can't
be frightened on by any such fishy
fake as that," raid Mr. Hurke to a
Tribune man last evening. "This In

what's more, Stenographer Ta.or's

Gowns, Suits, and Wrapa with Little
Expenso.
In a letter written last month by
Qeorgia Jlook, i'alntersville, tlreen
county, O., she says; "I colored an old
tan dress last fall that I had worn
nil summer, and had a nice, black dress.
My girl friends went nearly wild over
it, and they were so astonished when I
told them It was my old tan dress
colored with Diamond Dye. Several of
them tried the dyes on their White cash
men a and all of them had nice looking
blnck gowns.
"I have used a great many Diamond
Dyes for cotton, wool and silk, and
have met with unvarying success. Last
week I used a dozen packages In color
ing cotton for rugs, and m'ade two
beautiful rugs. I have tried other pack
age dyes, but never with the success
that 1 have had with the Diamond. I
have never failed once with Diamond
Dyes, and I do not think any one could,
If they pay attention to the directions
thnt come with each package."
Diamond Dyes are especially prepared
for home use, and are guaranteed to
bo the strongest, fastest and easiest
to use of all dyea. To get the best col
ors, It Is necessary to use different dyes
! for wotd and for cotton, and Diamond
Dyes are especially prepared for each.
Insist on having Diamond Dyes, and
you win always have colors that will
not fade.
A besik of directions and forty samples
of colored clo'h will be mailed free.
