body to such an extent that all else
was laid aside. And it must not be in
ferred that the conilnu week will be
unusually Kay, because there will be
an exodus from the City of scores of

OF A RELIGIOUS NATURE ! I
Novel I'lun Adopted by the Young
Men's Christian Association.
ANNIVERSARY OP THE MISSION
Young Japanese Will Speak Tomorrow at
Y- M. C. A. Ilall-Kulea for the
observance of l.cnt-Xotcs
and Church Services.
The Young Men's Christian associa
tion Is working up a novel plan for In
creasing Its membership. fnder or
dinary circumstances this fact would
not occasion much comment or inter
est, but in the present case two hun
dred young men are to me engaged In
a struggle for supremacy that promises
to Involve, Indirectly, the several thou
sands of young men In Scranton eligible
to membership In the association.
It is promised to have the present
members divide Into two parties. ln
each of which there will be about a hun
dred. Each side will then perfect its
own organization and vie with the other
side In securing the greatest number of
new members before a given date. The
successful side will be rewarded with a
banquet or some other thing equally
pleusant and to be decided upon later.
After the members of each side are
chosen It Is proposed that they shall
proceed In their campaign according
to their own ideas, provided the meth
ods used are approved bv the general
secretary of the association.
The plan has been tried successfully
In other cities, notubly Rochester. Day
ton, Cleveland and Mauch Chunk. At
present the Idea Is In an unfinished
state here but all urarngements will
probably be made next week.
' former IHscipio of lluddha to Speak.
A young Japanese gentleman of cul
ture and relineineiit is visiting the
Y
oung Men's Christian association of
his city, who has hud a rather event-
till;
till career In our land. He came fcU
years ago to get u western education,
for a yeur or more his father, who Is a
retired merchant of considerable means,
supporting him. But when the "young
mun. who had been converted nt a
meeting of the college Young Men's
Christian association, Informed . his
father that li hud reiioiincod Buddha
and accepted Christ, lie was promptly
disinherited and thrown upon his own
resources.
He moved fullv equal to the tusk of
supporting himself, however, and by j
hard manual labor earned enough to
suable him to gruduate with honor.
Not only, this, but he Inaugurated a
movement for the erection of a college
Young Men's Christian association
building. During the lust summer he
directed a body of volunteers among i
file students In the manufacture of
;:).000 brick for the building, and he Is
now making a tour of the country In
an effort to aecuie the needed funds for
its erection. He will speak tomorrow
afternoon on Buddhism and Shlntolsm
versus Christianity. ...
Anniversary of the Kescuc .Mission.
The word gratitude hardly expresses
the Joy that has come to the superin
tendent, the executive committee and
others connected with the Rescue mis
sion, over the result of lust year's work,
und there Is further reason lor joy to
them jn the fact that the noble work
of the Institution will be continued in
definitely, notwithstanding the dis
couraging outlook of a few weeks ago
when many believed funds for carrying
on the work for another year could not
be secured.
On Tuesday night of this week there
was a special service In celebration of
the mlsston's fourth anniversary.- The
mission room was filled to Its fullest
capacity, by the converts und their
families. Their presence was an evi
dence of the Interest they feel In the In
stitution, but there was a better evi
dence In their looks of concern when
was mentioned the first expression of
the committee that there had been a
doubt about continuing the mission.
Th1 manner and attitude of those as
sembled Indicated bitter- disappoint
ment, and the change to a more Joyous
expression at the announcement that
the difficulty had been surmounted was
very apparent.
The general public has but a slight
conception of the real work ot the Res
cue mission. It Is something more than
a place of shelter foi he professional
lonnger; It Is something more than a
imve medium for venting the inclina
tion of a set of men and women who
want to manage something simply for
the occupaVn that managing affords
It Is nioreeTian this. The Rescue mis
sion Is at charitable church-residence
the door of which will not. be turned
against the temporary sheltering of a
deserving person. Its inmates are not
inmates in the ordinary sense of the
word. The people sheltered are men
whose poverty prevents them from
smothering their pride and seeking re
ligious consolation and help from a
church, persons who are hungry for
higher things hut who are poor.
What the mission is doing may., be
comprehended from the following
which w'as embodied In Superintendent
Sanborn's report for last year: Number
of meetings. 402; number attending
meetings. 22,848; number asking for
prayer, ISO; number professing conver
sion, 9S; number of lodgings furnished
men without money, 250; number of
puid lodgings, 4!)X.

MINE LABORERS' BI RNED.
lour of Them Suffered Through the
, Igniting of Gas.
Four men were very, painfully burned
by an explosion of gas In the fourteen
foot vein of the von Storch mine at
Providence Thursday night. The men
are John Mullen, Martin Loftus, John
McGowa.it and Michael Henley, and
they were employed as company hands
in a tunnel leading to that vein.
About 9 o'clock a quantity of gas was
Ignited by the naked lamp of one of the
men and an explosion followed which
resulted In seriously burning all of
them. They were conveyed to their
homes In Providence and last night
were reported to be resting easily.
The explosion of the gas made a loud
noise, but fortunately did little dam
age In the mine.

EXCELSIOR CLUB'S BOUTS
y" -. .
Seventh Anaaal - Tournament Held
Last Mfjbt.
WILLISCHEKS FIXE SHOWING
Clever Philadelphiaa Wins Ilia Battle.
George Headier, of Trcntoa. N. J.,
Gave a Good Account of Him
self and Was Well Received.
There was a crowded bouse at the
seventh annual tournament of the Ex
celsior Athletic club held in Music hall
last night. The winners of medals In
their respective classes were John Bo
land, of the Excelsiors; Joe Wllllschek.
of Philadelphia, .und Harry Slarx. of
Philadelphia. Koland Is In the 115
pound class. Wllllschek In the 125 class
and Marx In the 58 das. One of the
battles was a draw.
The proceedings began at S.30. Jo
seph McNally, president of the club,
was referee, and John T. Brown, of The
Tribune, and James J. Colemun were
Judges. Slg. Cohen was timekeeper.
Each bout was three rounds of three
minutes each, with one minute rest.
If the judges failed to pick a winner,
the referee cast the deciding ballot;
otherwise his position in the ring was
to separate the boxers when thev
clinched and to decide claims of foui:
Jerry Heenan. of :he Nonpareil Ath
letic club, of Trenton. N. J.; Oeorge
Stewart, of the Caledonian Athletic
cluh. of Philadelphia, and John Roland,
of the Excelsior Athletic club, were on
the programme to light In the lKn
pound class, but Stewart did not ap
pear, and when Heenan weighed he
tipped the scales at 124 pounds, which
made him Ineligible In the clans he was
entered; therefore nu one being ou tho
lists to meet Roland, he won the prlsta
by default.
Hut Bolund and a featherweight
William Lavenbergh, of PhlludelDhiu,
went on In an exhibition bout. There
was some very clever soari-lnr. without
any injury to either In the way of hurd
blows. Koland was In excellent condi
tion; he had an eusy time of it with
his opponent and could have defeated
him easily If the bout hud been for a
medal. In the last round Koland land
ed twice for every once on the part of
bis opponent. The decision of the
judges was given In favor of Roland.
Wllllschek Is a Favorite.
Oreat Interest was manifested In the
appearance of Joe Wllllschek. of Phlla
delphla, who has Ingratiated himself
witn trie scranton lovers of good, clean
boxing and scientific showing. Wlllls
chek has attended every tournament
held by the Excelsiors within the past
four or five years and his cleverness
needs no introduction. He was attend.
ed in his corner by Fred ('lark, of
Philadelphia. This was the best bout
of the tournament. Willlschek's live
ly leads and his trim condition were the
admiration of the spectators. The
three rounds were clearly In favor of
tne Philadelphia boxer. He Inflicted a
good deal of punishment on his New
Jersey opponent and got scarcely a
diow in return.
The first round was scarcely begun
when Wllllschek landed a hard blow
and after that Heenan remained on the
defensive and was kept dodging in and
out of the corners to avoid punishment.
The slight trace of blood made its ap
pearance on Heenan's nose before the
round was over. The second and third
rounds were contested with great vigor.
Heenan kept aiming his blows for the
body and usually did not rail short in
any of his attempts. But while he waa
doing this Wllllschek got In hard Jabs
on the face. The latter was in the pink
of condition, and his boxing was very
fair. Sam Veldoff, a heavy darkey
from Trenton, who wanted to enter the
158-pound class, but was more fitted for
a 258-pound class, was Heenan's second.
The judges agreed on Wllllschek as the
winner.
The third event was between Edward
Dempsey, of the Excelsior, and Oeorge
Hendley, of the Nonpareil Athletic club,
of Trenton. The New Jersey man gave
evidence of being a foul tighter, but he
did not profit much by low hitting, and
In the second round he changed his tac
tics and kept leading for the face. The
second round waa evenly contested.
Dempsey was very anxious to give his
man a knockout blow; Hendley fought
warily and remained in the hack
ground until nearly the finish, when he
made a vicious onslaught and did not
desist until Kennedy was so groggy
that he reeled around and would huve
fallen but for the referee caught hold
of him and conducted him to a seat.
The winner had to prepare to meet
John Tlghe later. As there were three
entered In this class, one man had to
engage In two bouts. Refore the box
ing began they drew lots to see who
would meet In the preliminary; then the
winner would have to meet the third
man.
llout Between Marx and Farley.
Harry Marx, of the Caledonian club,
of Philadelphia, and James Farley, of
the Nonpareils, of Trenton, next np.
peared. The latter represented him
self as a 145-nound boxer, but lie was
heavier and hud to go in the class with
Marx. It was an unequal match: Marx
had a much longer reach and was taller
and heavier.
Notwithstanding the disnarlty be
tween them, Farley fought gamely, but
he was striving against too many odds,
and before the end of the third round
Referee McNally ordered the engage
ment closed and gave the decision to
Marx.
The last event was between Hendley,
who defeated Dempsey. and John
Tlghe. The sentiment of the spectators
was witn tienaiey ror the good show
ing he gave in his setto with Dempsey.
Tighe Is a well built fellow and as ac
tive as a cat. but his agility was need
ed. He forced the fighting- and landed
some severe swings on Hendley's neck:
yet lie Invariably got an equal t-x-chunge.
Of the two the Trenton boxer
showed the better, science, and he put
up a very game battle. The third
round was spent In clinching, ami the
judges agreed that an extra round was
necessary to enable them to give a de
cision. Tighe did the more leading In this
round, and when time was called, one
of the judges. Sir. Brown, decided In
favor of him: Sir. Coleman could not
decide in favor of either, and after a
good deal of haggling Keferee McNally
called the bout a draw. This incensed
Tighe nnd his friends, and they wanted
to challenge Hendley to a finish fight
In three Weeks, but the lutter did not
give any definite answer.

KXPU1MS8 THE SCHEME.
Confarcne Botwaaa Councilman and
Of rielala of Ablation Turaplke Com
pany. It Is within the range of possibilities,
in fact It is quite probable, that the
Ablngton turnpike difficulty will be
amic-ably adjusted before many months
have passed. Mr. Roche's scheme, as
outlined In The Tribune, was presented
and thoroughly discussed at a confer
ence between the special committee of
councils and the turnpike company yes
terday afternoon and was very favor
ably received both by the turnpike
people and his colleagues on the com
mittee. There were present at the meeting
Hon. John E. Roche. Luther Keller,
James J. .Man ley, and C. S. Beamans, of
councils, and H. E. Paine, I. V, Megar
gel and J. H. ttteell, of the board of di
rectors of the Providence and Ablng
ton Turnpike company. As neither
the committee nor the turnpike men
had hoard Mr. Roche's plan explained
In detail he went over the whole mat
ter from beginning to end, answering
all questions that were asked and com
batting the objections which were here
anl there raised.
Mr. Roche proposed that the turn
pike company should deed 5,000 feet of
Its road to the city and In return the
city is to pave it and otherwise Im
prove It. This looks like asking a good
deal for little or nothing, but when It
is considered that the earning capacity
of the road will not be lessened by rea
son of the shortening nnd that the city
proposes to relieve the turnpike com
pany from the expense of caring for
thlsi portion of the road and that It will
give an excellent approach to the turn
pike, which will induce more pleasure
drivlnjf ami consequent increase in
tolls, the proposition looks more eqult
ubl. .
The plan In general was thc.ueht to
be vttry fair by the turnpike men nnd
tlioy promised to give It frank and ear
nest consideration. They confessed,
however that they felt a little sore
towards the cltv on account of Its
sharp tiractlccs In the past and would
move warily in whatever action they
concluded to take.
SOWING THE WISV.
Was Produced Dcforo a l.argo Audience
nt Wllkc'-rinrro I nst .tght.
"Sowing the Wind" was produced at
the Ut-and Opera house In Wllkes-
bane last night before a large repre
sentative audience, which was delight
ed with the exceptionally fine perform
ance. MIsh Hamilton gave a delightful In
terpretation of the role of Rosamund.
She Im a talented actress and is seldom
seen outside of the large cities. A lit
companion piece for Miss Hampton's
Rosamund was the llratmzon ot J. II.
Ililmour, an actor of great power and
cleverness. The rest .of the cast was
very well balanced.
The same company will produce
"Sowing the Wind" at the Academy of
Musto in this city tonight.

Sir: Allow me as an old eltiien prac
tically interested fur more than a quar

growth and well being of this city, to
thank my old friend. Judge Hand, for
his timely, comprehensive and manly let
ter In defense of our Worthy fellow-cltl-sens.
Mr. William Connell and Colonel
Ripple. It is not a political campaign doc
ument, but a worthy defense of truth
and Christian manhood. It Is equally a
vindication of all the worthy and best
citizens of the generations past and pres
ent who have thus far wrought out all
that la praiseworthy In the history of our
city. The mephltlc gases from the fester
ing pools of what some people call munici
pal politics have recently exhaled In such
abundance as- to flood our homes, until
men and women of ordinary moral health

& CORIN
host of worthy public-spirited men, old
and younger, who have not oeaaed effort
to lift up the whole city, I had just
reached the conclusion that a protest must
be made somahow against this racklass
attempt to slaughter good men, and had
actually arisen In the pulpit of American,
manhood, which I still hold In thla com
munity by the grace of Qod, to apeak a
piece of my mind, iwhen this noble vindi
cation appeared. I thank Judge Hand for
saving both myself and tha publlo from
the speech that waa just about to coma
In defense of my own and the city's ex
cellent friends, Connell and Ripple. These
gentlemen, or if that term should be In
anywise offensive, I will aay Industrious
men, who try to care for their famlllea
while they serve the public, can comfort
themselves with two facts in the ordeal
through which their names are dragged.
The tirst Is that there Is not a word In
Judge Hand's manly letter which Ii net
known to be true by all the best thinking
and working public-spirited people In this
elty, "without regard to race, color op
previous condition of servitude" to politU
cal or religious bonds. True absolutely,
as so ably and kindly stated by the Judge,
moreover we all knew It before he stated
It. ..i
Thla "Connelllsm" these people knew Irt
their hearts to be nothing more than the
spirit of loyal patriotism seeking to keep
this city on the ascending grade of Christ
tlan honesty and worthy citlscnahlpi
which has been reached after twenty
veins of struggle and sacrifice. It Is aa
"ism" which, in former times, whea
ltrother Ilurrett was a first-class reporter,
and was our worthy representative, we
depended upon the Scranton Republican to
keep Klot'loiisly before the people. Why,
not now? It is nothing more than "Scran,
lnninm" ns orielnatpri bv Cnlnni.1 rXAnrrr
and Joseph II. Scranton. It Is Demo
cratic A. W. "Dicksonlsm," which har
dies Hoards of Trade and Christian assoi
nations with equal facility, and "Albright
Ism," as kept alive and pushed upward
hy the great teachers of both Conneil.
Ripple and Hand. It is "Sundersonlsm,"
which twenty years ago had to stand
under all this strange shower of abuse,
while It lifted the city's credit from zero,
and added full one-half -to the greatness
and purity of the city and gave us a
"Sturgeslsm" and A. W. "Dicksonlsm,"
under which these troubled grumbler
are liable still to suffer. These are the
"isms" which have built the houses of
Industry, which mude it possible for tha
poor and Industrious to live and bring up
families of worthy citizens to vote Intelll
gently; which have udorned our city wlt!i
churches where we may worship the God
of our fathers In comfort; public libraries
that our children may have a decent
chance; "Homes" for the outcast an
"I'rlendless." to save those fallen by
the way, and hospitals that our self-sacrl-llcing
physicians may have some chance
to take care of our constantty-expeseA
handworkers of every race and condt
Hon. and oral schools for our affllctef
children. It Is an "Ism" which may po
sllily get its hands befouled now and thoa
because there has not yet been dlcov
ered a sluiceway by which the sedimnt
of ward politics and other total depravities
can be made to flow up hill. They hava
to he dipped out somebow. But it is aa
"ism" which the great body of our peo
ple have learned to like.
The second fact with which I woult
have them comforted is the persuasion
that when the time comes for this great
public to speak out It will make itself
fully understood. Honest, reliable and
clean city government Is what the P9
pe want and mean to have. An moH
probably the many-sided and straight
backed colonel will be eet again to gov.
ern his old friend Connell for the benefit
of the city for at least three years. And
most of us do not care whether It Is done
after a Republican or a Democratic the
ory. It Is a tried and trusted man w
desire for mayor. 8. c Loga".,
