GAS COMPANY OF SCRANTON.
Application to Ro Made to the Governor
for a Charter for It.
On Friday application will be made to
Governor Hastings by Henry S. Paul,
John J. White. John W. Baker. Kdward
T. Taylor and Talbot L. Hlbberd, of
Philadelphia, for a charter for The Gas
Company of Scranton, the character
and object of which Is to manufacture
and supply gas for light to the public
in the city of Scranton.
In financial circles In this city nothing
Is known concerning the proposed com
pany or the men at the head of it. The
supposition Is that they believe, they
have discovered a new and Improved
way of making gas and are organizing
companies in various cities of the state
for the purpose of disposing of their
patent right of manufacturing gas.
Color Is given to this story by the
fact that the same men have applied
for charters for a number of other
cities.

Forest City; Rev. M. H. Mill, Scranton;
Rev. E. J. McHenry. Great Bend; Rev.
C. L. Sleight, Wllkes-Barre; Rev. A. L.
Urban, Dunmore; Rev. J. P. Ware,
Plymouth; Rev. El A. Warrlner, Mont
rose. Last night's service was the regular
evening prayer with two addresses on
parts of a common topic, "Manifesta
tion of the Works of Christ;" that per
taining to "Service to God" was treated
by Rev. H. S. Lassiter, rector of the
Good Shepherd parish, of Milford;
"Ministry to Man" was the subject of
Rev. J. N. Lewis, Jr., rector of Grace
parish, of Honesdale.
In Accord with .Modern Thought.
Mr. Lewis' views might be termed
those of the most modern thought and
put forward practical sociability and
personal ministration ns the best way
of making Christ's works manifest. Mr.
Lewis' arguments must have been
very favorably received by St. Luke's
rector and parishioners, who are In the
midst of an effort to build a parish
house, as the clergyman contended In
an emphatic and convincing way that
the parish house with Its guilds, clubs
and brotherhoods is one of the surest
means of keepinjr the young element
loyal to the church nnd of reaching the
poor. "The world is sick of philan
trophy; It is hungry for fraternity,"
were the closing words of the speaker,
and well Illustrates the basis of his
theme.
Preachers, said Mr. Lewis, are too
prone to give advice which has to be
translated In order to be Intelligible to
the poorly educated. Another common
error Is the cultivation of lowly mien,
of shamcfaceduess, a relic of mediaeval
Idiocy. Many a girl and boy (hu's had
Christ revealed through ministering to
others as a representative of a Girls'
Friendly society or Boys' battalion. The
club of the parish house is the saloon b
worst enemy.
"The Poor" Is the one great problem
which clergymen too often fall to solve
because there Is too much dense
preaching and too little living, he said.
Open church doors and well lighted and
well heated Interiors will not overcome
a poor man's pardonable objection
against showing himself in tuttered
clothes, but the parish house and Its
week-day religion will attract him. He
will see in the parish house a sign of
the times and realize that Christ is in
the world today: he will see one of the
many answers to the often-repeated
question of the disciples "Master, we
would have a sign from thee." A union
Is wanted between God and the world;
It can be better brought about by min
istering than by preaching.
During the service Bishop Rulison an
nounced that beginning today a bell
will be sounded three minutes before
the time assigned for the conclusion of
each address and again at the expira
tion of the period when the speaker
will close his remarks whether he 'Is
prepared or not.
Entertained at the Kectory.
The clergymen were entertained after
the service by the rector, Rev, Rogers
Israel, and Mrs. Israel, In the rectory,
where many of the parishioners met
Bishop Rulison in response to the gen
eral Invitation extended by the rector at
the close of the service.
Instead of being entertained at pri
vate houses the clergy Is located at the
Hotel Terrace, the expense being pro
vided from a fund raised In St. Luke's
church. Members of the Brotherhood
of St. Andrew and the clerical and lay
delegates will dine together at the hotel
at 12.30 o'clock today and tomorrow.
After the arrival of this morning's
trains the session will be attended by
those of the clergy not present Inst
night and by a largo number of lay
delegates.
Holy communion will be celebrated at
7.30 o'clock this morning. At 9 o'clock
a business meeting In the rectory will
be, like all the rectory meetings, not
open to the public. At 30.30 o'clock
will begin a communion service which

son. After a business meeting in the rec
tory this afternoon, the archdeacon's
report will be read at 3.30 o'clock In
the church. At 4 o'colck an exegesis, a
critical explanation, of Genesis III, 3,
"But of the fruit of the tree which is
in the midst of the garden, Ood hath
said. Ye shall not eat of It neither shall
ye touch It, lest ye die," will be made
by Rev. C. A. Howells, of St. James'
church, of Jermyn. The creed and col
lects will be said at 6 o'clock.
Evening prayer will begin at 7.45
o'clock and will contain three addresses
ns follows, on "The church Militant In
Central Pennsylvania:" Rev. Edward
H. Eckel, of West Plttston. "Objects
of Parish Organizations;' the Vener

at 9 o'clock, communion at 10.30 o'clock,
a general conference beginning at 2.30

Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes
pure, rich blood, and to gain in blood is
nearly always to gain in wholesome flesh np
to tbe healthy standard.
Every one should have a certain surplus
of flesh to meet the emergencies of sick
ness ; to resist the attack of consumption,
grip, malaria and fevers. Thin blooded
people are always getting sick, and none of
the organs of the body can get along with
out the food they require for work, which is,
pure blood. To gain and to keep strength
and flesh is the secret of health, usefulness
and happiness. With new blood and re.
freshed nerves a confident feeling of return
nig iieaun conies also.
Nervous manifestations, such as sleep,
lessness, nervous debility and nervous
prostration are in nine cases out often t'the
cry of the starved nerves for food. " Ifon
feed the nerves on pure rich blood the
nervous symptoms will cease. It is bad
practice to put the nerves to sleep with so
called celery mixtures, coca compounds or
malt extracts: what is needed is a blood
maker. The " Discovery " is composed of
vegetable ingredients which have an es
pecial effect upon the stomach, liver, and
blood making glands. For the cure of
dyspepsia, indigestion, liver comolaint,
weakened vitality, and for puny, pale peo
ple, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
