Notes About Church WorkersScr
vices ia City Churches Bandar.
The tent which is to be used by the
American Volunteers, during the sum
mer months has arrived and Is being
erected upon the lot of C. P. Davidson,
esq., on Linden street, opposite the
Court House. The opening meeting
will be held on Saturday evening at 8
o'clock. On Sunday meetings will be
held at 3.45 o'clock and 8 o'clock p. m.
Captain Masland and Lieutenant
Green, who will have charge of the
meetings, will be assisted by many ot
the local Christian workers who have
tendered their aid to carry on the work.
It Is said that thirty per cent, of tne
artisan class In Scranton are not iden
tified with any place of worship, and It
Is this great unchurched population the
Volunteers will strive to reach. They
announce their aim to be the bring
ing of hope to the hopeless, gladness to
the saddened heart and cleansing to
the sinner wherever found, through the
love and power of Christ.
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.
Arrangements for the state conven
tion of the Christian Endeavorers are
being pushed with vigor. Although the
dates for the gathering are a long way
ahead, the executive committee of the
union Is meeting frequently and llnds
plenty to do In guiding the extensive
machinery connected with so great a
project.
A great many thousands of dollars
are required to support these conven
tions. To raise the large amount Is one
of the committee's responsibilities but
there are others. The committee is re
sponsible for the entertalnmnt of sev
eral thousand delegates, will have to ar
range for a suitable convention hall a
hall or tent that will seat in comfort
from five to six thousand persons and
to see that the thousand and one duties
entrusted to committees are faithfully
performed.
A spirit of local pride enters Into the
thing also. Other cities have success
fully handled these great Endeavor
gatherings and each occasion has wit
nessed a greater throng and been at
tended with less confusion than Its
predecessors. The Scranton Endavor-
ers will strain very resource to make
the '96 convention no exception to the
rule.

MARKETS AND STOCKS
W'nll Street Itcvicw.
New York. Mav 22 The market At the
Stock Exchange was one of specialties.
Today Sugar. Tobacco and a.Vlnha'.!:in
were the favorites of the room traders
who still control the limited speculation.
Sugar gained nearly two points, moving
up to 124 on buying by brokers, who, it
is said, are acting for the Havenipyer In
terests. Tne recent decline In retlneil and
the passing of the new sugar bounty bill
by the Bundrath. made a number of bear
on the stock and tho short Interest was
quite lurge up to yesterday. The rally
then anu the rurther advunce today rather
alarmed the bears, who were amoni; the
heaviest buyers in the closing dealings.
Tobacco rose 24 per cent, to ii7-'! and closed
at the top figure. Some of the buying was
based on the Idea that a settlement with
the western competitors of the company
was not far off. Manhattan rose from
VtiVj to UK)1, the refusul of the appellate
division of the Supreme court to conlii m
the rapid transit commission report, hav
ing started up a lively demand for the
stock. The decision practically kills the
underground rapid transit scheme. The
railway list started off weak on lowor
cables and the withdrawal of 31.1oo.000 gol 1
from the sub-treasury for export. The
loss, however, was merely fractional and
In the afternoon session higher prices were
the rule. An Impression prevails that Mc
Klnley or those In charge of of his canvuss
have, assured the banking interest of the
east that he la In favor of the gold stand
ard. This, with statements by hankers
that exports of the metal are likely to
dwindle to small proportions in the near
future contributed to the good faelitift
which prevailed In the late dealings. The
statement of the Northwest road for April
showing on increase of 303,000 strength
ened the Grangers. Speculation loft oft
strong, net changes bowing advances ot
V4a2 per cent., the latter in Manhattan.
Total sales were 133,374 shares.
