The episode of last Sunday night In
iVi Virmt Pntsbvterlan church when
the audience frequently gave way to Its
enthusiasm and loudly applauded each
of four speakers, was one of the chief
topics of conversation among ministers
and church, people aunng inv
part of the week. The occasion was a
mHnr in h intBiwit or the Scranton
fund for Armenia. The utterances of
Colonel H. M. Boles, ex-Judge Airreu
Hand, A. W. Dickson and Rev. Dr.
James McLeod. were so vehement In
their condemnation of Turkish rapine
and butchery; und the pleas for action
by the United States government In

fi.n. and in farcins: oayment of in
demnity for rased missionary stations
were so patriotic and the spirit of
enthusiasm was so general that the ap
Miiimk uu nut aurbrlslnr. It was In'
evitable, and, to use Dr. McLeod's
words, the audience was justified in its
applause by "truthful and patriotic ut
irui." The meeting lasted two
Speaking of tha Armenian fund, It
has probably been checked in this city
by a circumstance which has greatly
benefited a local institution. Reference
Is made to the lire In the Home for the
Friendless. The managers of the Home
wen quick to realise that the lire
ha radllv turned Into a means
to aid their long cherished project of
erectinc in tho Qreen Ridge section a
large structure to cost $85,000. The
foundation Is already laid and nearly
paid for and the object was xo ereci

and oVatary could have done, and the

minutes at a meeting in the board of
trade rooms Tuesday ajght.
Werklng for the Uotae.
' Ailds from the Armenian fund, a
Scsanten institution's hope for money
te cure larger quarters and extend its
work has received a setback by the
Moms are. The Young Women's Chris
tlan association officers had cherished
a hop that .in the hear future they
might receive, from the public a sub
stantial answer to an appeal for money
to erect and maintain larger and bet
ter quarters than the present location
on Washington avenue. In this case
the Home lire has upset the Toung
Women's Christian association plans
for at least a year. Still, no sensible
person regrets the present condition of
affairs. "One thing at a time and that
thing well done" applies to charity as
well as to business. One charitable
institution might better be firmly and
properly established than to have. a
half-doten hovering between gasping
existence and slow growth.
Judge James A. Beaver, of the su
perior court, now in session In th fed
eral building, and ex-Governor of the
state, will address a meeting of men
and boys tomorrow afternoon at 3.45
o'clock In "the Young Men's Christian
annotation building. Professor J. Al
fred Pennington and choir of Kim Park
church will give a special music pro
gramme. '

MAY HE BlT ABSOLVED.
Doctor Steals Coal and Wood to Build a
l ire for a Poor Sick Woman.
At yesterday's poor board meeting a
charitable lady living on Washburn
street reported the case of J. A. Brash's
family which she found in a-sad plight.
One night recently Mrs. Brash was
taken suddenly ill and a doctor was
summoned. Upon arriving at the house
the doctor found the place bare of food
and furniture with the exception of a
bottomless chair, a bed and a stove
without any lire In it. The tlrst thing
the man of medicine did was to break
a rail off a fence and steal a pall of
coal from a neighbor's shed with which
to build a fire. Then he administered
to the sick woman and woke up some
neighbors to secure nourishment for
her.
In this way the case was brought to
the attentlon of the neighbors who have
been caring for her since. Now Mrs.
Brash wants to be sent back with her
two children to her parents In New
Orleans. Her husband, who Is a book
agent, was described by Director Will
tarns as a dude. He dresses In the
latest style and goes out every dny os
tensibly to work but he never seems to

peared before the board to ask the dis
trict to take care of Charles Castura,
an incurable patient. In order to help
relieve the crowded condition of the

would be a great accommodation to the
hospital If such matters could receive
immediate attention as there Is always
a lack of room at the hospital. Chair
man Langstaff informed Mr. Dickson
that it Is not necessary to wait until
the board meets to bring these cases
up; any director can take charge of
these cases and make disposition, of
them without consulting the board.

sey, of the West Side, submitted by the

TALLIE MORGAN HONORED.
Presented with a Handsome Baton by
Members of tho Choir.
Last evening the retiring chorus of
the First Presbyterian church was ten
dered a farewell reception at the resi
dence of A. W. Dickson, esq., on Quincy
avenue. Mr. Dickson has been chair
man of the music commlttee of the
church for the past two years, and he
takes especiul pride In the work of Tal
lle Morgan's and his choir during that
time. Mr. Morgan has accepted the
leadership of a large church chorus In
New York, and his choir here has re
signed with him. The first part of the
evening was spent in song and social
talk. After refreshments were served
Mr. Arthur Foote called for order and
addressing Mr. Morgan said that on
behalf of the choir he desired to return
their thanks to their conductor for the
pleasure and profit they had derived In
singing under his Instruction for the
past two years, and as a slight token
of their esteem they presented him with
a most -beautiful baton solid black
ebony, with Ivory handle and gold tips.
Mr. Morgan said that he certainly
had been taken by surprise and then In
a concise siwech returned his thanks
and said how much pleasure he had de
rived In drilling such a line body of
singers, and that while he was going
to a larger field of labor, he would neVer
forget the f rullfuness, the uniform
kindness and unwavering fidelity of the
choir of the First Presbyterian church.
A. W. Dickson also made a pleasant
speech In which he thanked both Mr.
Morgan and the choir for the excel
lent work they had done. He read a
resolution adopted by the session of
the church to the same effect, and pre
sented each member with a type-written
copy to keep as a memento.
Today the choir will sit for a photo
graph, and it Is understood that the
organization will be kept together, re
hearsals being held under the direction
of Mr. Morgan every Friday evening.
