Miss Nellie Allen, of Syracuse, who
It was thought would be secured to fill
the secretaryship of the Scranton Young
Women's Christian association, has
been engaged to become the assistant
Pennsylvania secretary. She will work

make this city her headQiiarters. Her
work will be almost exclusively con
fined to the colleges.

yesterday. That she would be assistant
state secretary was not known by the
board of managers of the Scranton as
sociation until Thursday, when a letter
ftom her was received announcing her
Intentions. She has for some time been
similarly engaged in New York. There
are now no candidates for the position

church Taster Musie.
Organists and choristers in many of
the churches are getting an early start
In their preparations for Easter by cor
respondence and Inquiry relative to the
best and most attractive music for that
church festival. It might be supposed
that the last splendid Christmas pro
gramme might discourage any more
such elaborate attempts in the near fu
ture, but such is not the case. The
strife and competition of choir leaders
to get the best possible programmes for
their respective churches has really
served to nerve them on to a repetition
of the effort.
In the first place, the music leaders
were more than pleased by the greatest
outpouring of congregations known in
the city's history; they realized that the
music was the chief attraction, and the
compliment has spurred them on to
repetition. The fact that some choris
ters, during Christinas week,- showed
a superiority and some an inferiority
among themselves has a peculiar bear
ing on the Easter matter, as those who
gave the most excellent programmes
are confident of dointr so again, while
the more unfortunate musicians are
anxious to demonstrate that they can
not always be beaten. It all Indicates
that the congregations will be treated
to Easter music which may discount
even the grand programmes of last
Christmas.
