Personal Mention.
The assemblies which proved so pop
ular last year are to be abandoned, and
the gap will be lilted by three subscrip
tion dances and another similar di
version for which the plans have not
been completed. One subscription dance
will be glvon the Friday night following
Thanksgiving Day and two more dur
ing the holidays. The Scranton Hlcycle
club house will bo utilized and the
music and refreshment arrangements
will be much the same as featured the
delightful assemblies.
Another klrmess. Miss Mia Stewart,
of Kingston, N. V.. who lust year so
successfully drilled Inst winter's klr
mess for the benefit of the Lackawanna
hospital, has been engaged by the board
of managers of the Home of the Friend
less to conduct for that institution a
klrmess during the second week In
February. It will be given In tho
Frolhingham theater 'and an effort will
be made to have the affair featured by
more splendor and beauty than Itt;
predecessor. Miss Stewart has stipu
lated that she shall have sole charge,
occupying in addition to Istructlon, the
position so ably tilled by Mrs. C. L.
Frey last winter. She will hnve asso
ciated with her Mrs. N., Y. . Leet . and
Mrs. C. B.r Scott, chairman of tho
Home's entertainment committee. Tho

many whose brothers, sons and cousins
are attending one of the two universi
ties and will be either chagrined or
elated over the result.

DR. PARKHUKST TO LECTURE
New York's Noted Reformer Will Bo in
.Scranton Next Month-Prcparatioas
for the State and Trl-County Con.
ventions of Christian Endeavor.
No little Importance is attached to
the nrouosed lecture by Rev. Dr. Chas.
Parkhurst, of New York city, in tho
Frothingham. Iec. 17. A large number
of cities have tried to secure Dr. Park
hurst for lecturing purposes, but have
failed, and his consent to come to
Scranton is a compliment to the city
and the men whose overtures huve se
cured the presence of one so noted.
He differs in one Important particular
from most political reformers In that
they are heard for a brief period ana
are then forgotten. Dr. Parkhurst has
been heard for three years and has suc
ceeded in bringing about one of tho
greatest municipal reforms ever
known. He Is still on the tidal wave
of his own fearless fight and whether
he will be finally successful cannot be
determined until several years hence.
Meanwhile no leader is thought of to
supplant him. It may be that Scran
ton will not for a long period have nn
opportunity of seeing and hearing bo
powerful and tenacious a cnarcier.
and it goes without saying that on tho
night of the lecture the theater will
be packed from pit to dome by persons
who sympathize with him ami persons
who differ from him, and from per
sons of bud as well as good in
clinutiuns. The mixture of - the
audience will best testify to the great
ness of tho man who Is nrobubly inoro
respected ami hated than any public
character In this country today.
Y. W. ". A. State Convention.
Much Importance Is attached to the
annual state convention of the Young
Women's Christian association, which
begins in Kloomsburg today and ends
Monday. Miss Mary Dunn, the state
secretary, wan present at last Tues
day's uuurtorly Scranton convention.
and gave an. outline of contemplated
work at the state meeting. The con
vention opened at 2.30 p. m. yesterday
und will continue until Monday nion.-
Ing. Sessions will be held In the
Lutheran, Methodist and Presbyterian
churches nnd normal hull at tho school.
There will be addresses on the follow
ing subjects: "City Work Its Scope
and Results In Pennsylvania." "Our
Association Friend," "Machinery und
Power in Committee Work, "Rela
tion of Physical Training to Young
Women's Christian Association Work."
On Sunday evening the delegutes will
speak In. the different churches and ut
'J.30 o clock that night a farewell meet
ing will be held In Normal ball. Among
the prominent Christian workers who
signllled' their Intention to bo present
arc: Hev. K. T. Jeffera. D. D., .York;
K. H. lluekalew, iikes-Iiarre: Oenree
O. Mahy. Scranton; Miss E. K. Pr'co,
Chicago; Miss tJracc L. Wlgff, Doston,
Miss Nellie Allen, New York; Miss An
na C. Skeele, Manslleld; Miss Sara S.
Kirk, West Chester; Miss Sara Carson,

another term. Mrs. L. A. Watres Is
recording secretary; Mrs. M. F. Kays
corresponding secretary; Airs. H. J.
Carr, treasurer. All these are Scran
ton ladles. Other Scrantonlans on the
executive committee are Mrs. L. M.
Gates, Mrs. I. V. Kverhart, Miss Flor
ence Colvln. On the advisory board
are three prominent Scranton men.
Colonel K. H. Ripple, Colonel II. M.
Roles and Colonel L. A. Watres. Scran
ton will have the banner delegation
nt tho convention. Miss Dunn, the
state secretary, will report among oth
er encouraging things that the nss tela
tlon now numbers 6,000 members in
this state and that four new associa
tions were admitted during the year.
These are Waynesburg college, DIcK
inson college, Stroudsburg Normal
school and South Pittsburg.
Festival of Day.
The preliminary preparations are now
about complete for the opening of The
Festival of Days to be given by the
members of Calvary Reformed church
in the Armory, beginning November 2a,
It is intended to make the Interior of
the armory a fairy land, where beauti
ful decorations, blooming plants and
music will enchant the visitor and ill!
the soul with pleasure. That tho gen
eral public and especially the churchly
element of the city is Interested in' this
event' has been manifested in mora
ways than one and there Is but little
doubt that the armory will be visited
by hundreds.
The committee will allow no objec
tionable catch-penny devices in the
fair. The visitor will not be waylaid on
every hand with a demand to take a
chance on this or that. Everything
that partakes of the nature of lottery
or chance will be kept out.
Then again it has been decided to sell
articles at the regular retail prices. You
will not have to pay an advance from
10 to 25 cents on Roods purchased. Col
vary has been noted for Its fair, dealings
and that reputation will be sustained at
this fair.
Supper will be served on three even
ings and a musical programme will be
rendered each evening. Hut after all
has been said it will remain to be seen
that the half was not told.
Christian Kndeovnr Work.
The committee of '90, the body direct
Ing the work for the state convention of
the Christian Endeavor Union to be
held here next year, met In the Young
Men s Christian association hall Mon
day evening. The Important feature of
the meeting was the Inviting of the Trl
County Union to this city for its semi
annual convention on November 29,
Mr. J. C. Manning, of Pittston, presi
dent of the Trl-County Union, was pres
ent, and accepteu the Invitation. It was
Gravel Cured
An Operation Avoided.
(Philadelphia, Penn., Itm.)
A healthier, heartier, hannler man
than John J Nclll. of 2437 North Eighth
street, Philadelphia, could not be found
In a day's search. The fact that he is
still alive Is a constant wonder to his
friends.
In the fall of 1889 he began to suffer
from stone in the bladder, and his mis
eries were Indescribable. Consulting
an eminent physician In .Philadelphia
he was told that a surgical operation
was necessary. So much .did he dread
the result, for If unsuccessful it meant
death, that he put off the evil day as
long as possible. While in this frame
of mind, he chanced to' see a notice of
Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy.
Although disheartened with his many
futile attempts with medicine, he was
Induced to make one more trial. . On
July 1, 1893, he bought a bottle of
OR. DAVID KENNEDY'S
FAVORITE REMEDY
and within a month had experienced
beneficial results, and before he had fin
ished the third bottle, the gravel was
completely dissolved and Ills sufferings
at an end. . . i
Mr. Nelll feels that he owes a lasting
debt of gratitude, to Dr.. Kennedy's Fa-
vonic nemeuy nnu xur oiauraera ui ine
bladder and urinary organ, says "It will
effect a cure If one be possible. . -
Favorite Remedy Is prescribed with
unfailing success for rheumatism, dys
pepsia and nerve troubles In which It
has mads many cures that were consid
ered beyond tha sUd 9! medicine, . All
thought by the committee that holding
the convention here now would broaden
tbo Interest In the state gathering, and
enllct many more to work from the out
set. A handsome blue and red silk ban
ner with Kolden trimming was exhi
bited. It has been presented by Lebeclt
& Coiln, of the Leader.ar.d will be given
to the society ralBlng tne most money
for the convention. The banner is to
be placed on exhibition, and taken to
the societies. The Trl-rounty union
sessions will bo held in the Penn Ave
nuo -aptlst church on Friday, Novem
ber 29. There will be morning, arter-
nooon and evening meetings. A sub
committee of arrangements was ap
pointed consisting of E. 8. Williams, H.
H. McKeechan. C. H. Chandler, A. v.
Smith and W. W. Inglls. They will arr
range for the reception of the visitors.
An Evidence of lloalthy Growth..
St. Luke's church proposes to erect a
four story stone parish building along
side the' church on Wyoming avenue.
Plans for tho building show it a gothlc
structure, in keeping with the grand
lines of tho church. The women of tho
church have taken upon themselves tho
effort of securing the necessary 125,000
for building. They propose to raise this
sum by selling 1,0C0 subscription shares
at ?25 each. The plans provide for an-
industrial school room,, mnuergarien
room, gymnasium, auditorium and
rooms for the church guilds and soci
eties. Bt. Luke's church property is
already classed in value with that of the
Catholic cathedral parish, tho First
Presbyterian-and Elm Parle entireties,
The new building will increase the
value S25.COO. but It 13 more Important
in evidencing the fact that St. Luke's
Is properly practical and In touch with
the .emand of the worm tnnt tne
church must not be In tho rear. Scran
ton Is growing; so is St. Luke's.
Religious News Notes.
At a recent mcetlnr; of the congrega
tion of the Dickson City PresbyterlanB
they wore surprised at the announce
ment that'W. H. Richmond had decided
to wipe out the debt of the church,
amounting to 1500. thus leaving tne
church property, valued at $5,000. free
from any Imcumberance. Mr. iticn-
mond also furnished the chairs for the
edifice.
On Sundny evening, December 1, the
PcrnMnn I "dge of Klks will hold a me
morial service for their departed mem
bers, 'the committee having charge of
the affair are determined to have the
best artists they cun secure, take part
in the programme. They intend sur
passing all former efforts und sny that
the Scranton lodge will have the best
and most largely attended memorial
service In the state.
At the regular weekly meeting nf the
Women's Christian Temperance Union,
held Tuesday in the Jewell building,
Mrs. Amelia Smith made a short-talk. 1
on the convention which was recently
held at Paltlmore. A letter was read
by Mrs. Tewksbury relative to a church
pastor who preached against the sale ot
Intoxlcnnts, but voted for It.
The first sacred concert of the series
to be given by the Cathedral choir will
be held at St. Thomas' College hull on
Sunday evening, at S o'clock. The fol-
J. M. Chance entertained the choir
and Sabbath school orchestra ol the
Second Presbyterian church at his
music ror-m in the Yiung Men's Chris
tian Association bulkllng Friday even
ing. The New York Tribune of recent
date states that the First Methodist
church of Yonkers, N. Y'., bus Invited
the Rev. Frederick M. Davenport to
that pulpit for the next year, begin
ning April, 1NU6. If he accepts he will
be the first pastor who has ever served
that church four years In succession.
He has also received a unanimous call
to the largest and most inlluentlal
Methodist church In the city of i'ough
kcepsie. Rev. D. P. Jones, pastor of the Taber
nacle Congregational church. South
Hyde Park avenue, has declined a call
to the Uethany Welsh Methodist Epis
copal church, of West Chicago. Rev.
Mr. Jones is the oldest pastor In point
of service on the West Side. Nine years
ago Rev. Mr. Jones becamo the pastor
of the Tabernacle chiu'ch. There wns
a debt of IIK.OOO on the building and
property, and 116.000 have been paid.
With Improvements mnde, there Is yet
an outstanding debt of nearly $5,000.
Towever, htls sum will soon be greatly
However, this sum will soon be greatly
moro than doubled under Itev. ,Mr.

more than a score of years since the
country was laughing over the sayings
of his honor and Bijah, chronicled by
Mr. Lewis to the Detroit Free Press.
From that time until now M. Quad has
delighted .the public with unnumbered
quaint sketches of chnracter, overflow

readers rll the more strongly because
they recognized the fidelity to life un

Among Mr. Lewis' recent creations tho

gifted authors, he has produced work
of rare quality while tormented by pain.
Mr. Lewis suffered Intensely from

were weak, and I was In worse shape
than I hope ever to be asaln. Yes, I
took advice by tho yard and medi
cine by the quart with no success. I
was broken In spirit and bent almost
double In the body.when somebody sug
gested Palnc's celery compound for the
nervousness. That remedy made short
work of the nervousness and of the
rheumatism, too. A few doses made me
feel much better, and to-day I am well;
a happy change thnt I attribute to the
use of Palnc's celery compound. It
lvcs me sincere pleasure to bpnr wit

know at least a dozen authors and Jour

the same complaints."

KAILKOAD NOTES.
The Metropolitan Traction company
reports gross earnings first seven days
In November increased $29,000, an aver
age of over S4.000 a day. At the same
rate the month will show an Increase of
over $120,000. A director says: "Tho
system Is now earning 7 per cent, per
annum on Its capitnl stock, and av
steady increase Is expected."
The new railroad shops to be built at
Alexandria.- Va by the Southern Rail
way company will be among the largest
and best equipped establishments of tho
kind In the country. Officials of tha
system eay that the establishment! of
these shops will not affect those al
ready in operation at Manchester, just
across the river from Richmond; that
on account of the Important connec
tions of the Southern at Richmond tha
maintenance ot the shops at Manches
ter Is made 'teecessary. ,
That the Great Northern people ara
still of the opinion that they wlll'ba
successful In obtaining control of tha
Northern Pacific can be seen by the re
marks of a director of the Great North
ern company. He says: "The deal for
the control of the Northern Pacific' bjr
the Great Northern company may-ba
delayed a year or two, but its consum
mation Is Inevitable. In the end tha
security holders of the Northern ' Pa
cific must recognlso that it Is necessary
to have, the backing- of a strong; cor
poration to re-establish the company'
credit. Nothing whatever can be dona
until the United States court hands
down a decision on the sppeJ In the
suit to restrain the Great Norhm from
guaranteeing the Northern Pacific's iln
terest The lower court has already
decided In favor of the guarantee and It
Is believed the dclslon will sustainad
by tha hUjher cturt."
