IN DIRE NEED OF FUNDS.
Board of Associated Charities Will
Make aa Appeal.
The Associated Charities Is In dire
need of funds and proposes to make an
appeal to the public for subscriptions.
At the meeting last night It developed
on the reading of Treasurer W. T.
Smith's report that there Is only 1-49
left In the general treasury to meet the
expenses of the summer. The special
account for the maintenance of the of
fice of nurse has but $15 to Its credit
and the nurse hasn't received any sal
ary since May 1. The emergency fund
in the hands of the mayor Is also de
pleted and the replenishing of It will
about drain every dollar there Is in the
general account. Something has got to
be done and that something soon, or the
Board of Associated Charities will have
to take a vacation or go out of exist
ence entirely.
It Is proposed to write to each of the
original contributors asking them to
renew their subscriptions, and for the
purpose of procuring immediate relief
for the drained funds an appeal will be
made through the newspapers. Presi
dent Ripple and Secretary Israel were
instructeuVto formulate this appeal and
have it published as soon as possible.
Some Idea of the work that the board
is doing can be gleaned from a perusal
of the officers' reports for the last
month. Mrs. Duggan, the agent, in
vestigated forty-five cases and assisted
In one way or another all that were
found worthy, thirty-four in number.
Employment was found for eight per
sons, most of them heads of families;
transportation was furnished six, lodg
ing and meals were found for two, ad
mission to hospitals was secured for
four, eight were sent to other charitable
Institutions, two cases were referred to
the board of health and one to the dis
trict. Miss Klesel, the district nurse.
cared for eight cases, nursing the In
valids and taking care of the household
matters when the mother of the family
wus the one stricken.
Besides this and many other works
that do not come under the scope of the
reports of officers, the bourd has rid the
city of beggars and cared for many
children whose parents are unlit to have
charge of them.
TRACTION OFFICIALS HERE.
They Came to the City on a Tour of
Inspectiou.
C. M. Clarke, of Philadelphia, vice-
president of the Scranton Traction com
pany, and K. W. Clarke, jr., and S. W.
Culton, Jr., of the llrm of Clarke &
Co., of Philadelphia, financial agents
of the Traction company, ar
rived in the city yesterday afternoon
and are registered at the Jermyn. When
C. M. Clarke was asked last night by a
Tribune mun If the visit was due to the
prospective opposition to the Traction
company, he replied that it was not.
'This is the annual spring visit of In
spection," continued Mr. Clarke, "made
this year a litttle later than usual. We
went all over the lines In the city this
afternoon and tomorrow will ride over
the lines up and down the valley to see
what condition the property Is In. Of
course now that we are here, there Is no
doubt that the possibility of the Citi
zens' coin puny constructing competing
lines will be discussed, but as I said be
fore, It was to Inspect the lines that we
came here today."
When asked for an opinion concern
ing the contention of the Citizens' peo
ple that the Valley franchise Is In
vulld, Mr. Clarke replied:
"We have no fears on that score. The
Valley franchise was legal when passed
and has since been protected In every
way. A number of very good attorneys
whole opinions have been secured as
sure us that there Is no question of its
legality."
In discussing the effect of possible
opposition, Mr. Clarke said that It would
be detrimental to the city and would be
a bar to Rood street car services, be
sides making It more expensive to the
traveler, as he would not be able to se
cure a transfer from one line to the
other.
At the Jermyn last night the visitors
had a conference with General Man
ager Sllliman and others interested In
the Traction conipany In this city.

ANNUAL MEETING
M OF THE Y. W. C A.
Mrs, E. It Ripple Re-elected President
of the Board of Managers.
SECRETARY'S INTERESTING REPORT
It Showed the Extensive and Telling
Work of the Association for One
VearResnlt of the ElectionRe
ports of the Trcnsnrer and Other
Officers.
The eighth annual meeting and elec
tion of the Toung Women's Christian
association took place In the associa
tion rooms last night. Notwithstanding
the rain, a large number of young and
older women were present Mrs. E. H.
Ripple, the president, presided. The
meeting was owned with a prayer by
Rev. Richard Hlorns.
Mrs. Ripple made a very brief address
In which she lauded the work of the as
sociation and emphasized Its prospects
for a larger and broader scope. Then
were read the reports of Mrs. Nellie A.
Lowry, the secretary, and Miss Hannah
Deacon, treasurer. The jatter report
was read by the president, as Miss Dea
con was ill and unable to be present. It
showed the year's receipts, which in
cluded memberships and contributions,
to be S4.9ti7.12.and the disbursements $4,
936.U5. which leaves a balance of 138.11.
The receipts do not Include the pro
ceeds from Our Woman's, Paper, which
will realize about S4,0uv additional. Mrs.
1. F. Everhart made a report as chair
man of the gymnasium committee, and
Mrs. L. M. Gates spoke briefly as secre
tary of the board of managers.
TWO OFFICERS RELEASED.
Mrs. Ripple and Mrs. W. V. Kennedy
were re-elected president and vice
president, respectively, of the board of
managers. Mrs. C. B. Derman was
chosen board secretary, vice Mrs. L. M.
Gates, and Miss Emily Richmond was
elected treasurer vice Miss Hannah
Deacon, who retired on account of ill
health. Mrs. C. D. Simpson, Mrs. C. P.
Matthews and Mrs. I. F. Everhart,
whose terms on the board of managers
had expired, were re-elected.
Of the report of Mrs. Lowry, the as
sociation secretary, the following is an
excerpt:
Mies Kachel Tolles. the secretary of last
year, loked Into the future and closed her
annual report with an exhortation, uslnt
tk words of Michael Angelo, "Ampllns
let It be broader." Although I have ben
connected with this association only two
months, vet I feel that the members and
friends of the ussoulatlon have heeded the
exhortation, and that the work is broad
er, notwithstanding the shadow which
wus cast upon the association, when the
former secretary was called home in De
cember by the death of her mother. Dur
ing the interregnum of secretaries,' Miss
Cora R. Perry, the assistant, and Miss
Anna Van Nort and Miss Esther Row
lands assumed the duties of the associa
tion and gave most valuable service.
The aim of the association has not been
lost sight of. We wish to develop a per
realize that In order ' do that we must
have a' symmetrical association, consist
ing of the following departments, the phy
sical, social, educational and spiritual; be
sides these we bring into the association
many sub-departments which partake of
some featuie of the lurger orders. We
have thirteen committees consisting of
one hundred and thirty-eight members,
which plan and do the work of the asso
ciation. ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE.
Mrs. F. D. Watts, who is chairman of
the entertainment committee, with her
faithful assistants, has provided forty en
tertainments, consisting of teas, dinners,
general socials, readings, rausicales and
stereopticon lectures; having a total at
tendance of three thousand one hundred
and sixty. The Importance of this de
partment cannot be over-estimated, if
more attention were given to providing
bright, attractive places of amusement fur
the young women of our city, before they
are on the downward road, thero woulu
be less anxiety In the mother's aching
heart, and the homes of Scranton would
be happier.
The physical department, as an aid tn
both mental and spiritual development,
hus been conducted by Miss Janet Adams,
of Posse school, Boston, and has been rep
resented by eighty-three pupils, who arc
enthusiastic In their expression of the
work which they have done. Under this
department, of which Mrs: I. F. Everhart
is chairman, verlous talks have been
given; one on "Health" and one on "The
Care of the Eyes. At the close of tho
year an exhibition of the work done was
given In the gymnasium.
In the seventeen educational classes
there hus been a total enrollment of one
hundred and eighty-six. This has been
the first year that remunerative clasr.au
have been tried, and they have met with
success as the report of the chairman,
Mrs. E. D. Fellows, showed a balance In
the treasury after all expenses were paid.
Indeed, the interest has continued
throughout the year and been greater In
the paid classes than In the free, as the
scholars felt that r. Value had been at
tached to the study,
OTHER DEPARTMENTS.
Mrs. Koehler has had an Interesiln
class In German, Miss Morgan taught mil
linery; Miss Helen Sanderson's class in
higher Kngllsh was enthusiastic over their
work. Mrs. Wilson directed the class in
chart cutting and Miss Belle Harris had
charge fjf the class In plain sewing and
embroidery, while Mrs. Breck taught al
gebra and geometry, and Miss Sara Jones
instructed the girls In penmanship.
Classes were also taught In the elementary
branches.
A junior club was organized in Novein
ber. Mrs. George Many and Miss Board,
man conducted this class throughout the
year. At the close an Interesting party
was given to the young girls.
At the close of the classes an entertain
ment was given and a new club organized.
which Is "The Laurel Club. This society
will be one of the features of the educa
tional department next year. The object
Is to develop the young women In the vo.
rlous departments of work. It is organ'
lzed on parliamentary principles, and it
meets every Thursday night. Although it
has Just started it has a membership of
fifty-two. Musical ad literary features
are introduced, besides the Biblical work
Mrs. H. J. Carr, who has conducted the
Chautauqua Circle for three years, has
won the hearts of the girls In such a way
that faithfulness and Increased Interest
Is manifested in this circle of sixteen
members.
The splrtual work Is difficult to measure.
Statistics do not tell it. When I tell you
that Gospel meetings have been held ev
ery Sabbath at 3.45 p. m., weekly noon
meetings, and that many other religious
services have been held, making a total
number of one hundred and thirteen,
having a total attendance of Ave thou
sand two hundred and forty-four and
seven' known conversions, can you then
measure the spiritual work of this asso
ciation? We know that the meetings have
been earnest and practical, and In pass
ing we want to tell you that the spiritual
atmosphere has been stimulated by tho
visits from the secretaries of the work,
THE SPIRITUAL WORK.
Many Interesting facts might be told of
the spiritual work that goes on in the
rooms, were It not that work Is and must
be confidential. We have found that in
order to win succesg tor the Lord, we
must use our association motto constant
ly, "not by might, nor by power, but by
My Spirit, salth the Lord of Hosts."
Sume one has said "the religious work
runs sa like a golden thret d, through the
others, uniting and vivifying all the ef
forts put forth, that it is Impossible to
speak of any without touching upon It."
and we praise the Lord for this goiden
thread which runs through all our depart
ments of work.
The lunch department, under the super
vision of Mrs. C. P. Matthews, is a delight
to the girls, a help to the association and
also a help to the secretary. Mrs. Knapp,
tn her genial way, has served dinner every
noon and lunch on Saturday evenings.
The avtrsge dally atendanca at the lunch
room has been forty-eight, with a total
attendance of fourteen thousand nine hun
dred and thirty-one. The simple figures
mean that It has been self-supporting and
It has given the secretary an opportunity
of doing personal work.
'Much depnds on personal invitations in
any work. This has been conducted by
the Invitation committee, directed by Miss
Abbie Hancock. Six thousand eight hun.
dred and eighteen mimeograph and four
teen thousand printed invitations have
been distributed. House to house visita
tion has been made; literature placed In
the railroad stations, and visits to the hos
pitals have been made. The committee
has also assisted aa usners at tne aunaay
services.
Through the generosity of the people of
Scranton, Mrs. J. L. Stelle and her com
mittee are able to report through the
treasurer that the association is not In
debt.
GREETING THE VISITORS.
The reception committee, with Miss Es
ther Rowlands as chairman, has been
faithful as hostesses at the rooms.greettng
the girls who visit there In a cordial man
ner. This committee has also relieved the
secretaries of their work on certain even
ings, and it has been nelpful In many
ways.
Our rooms have been kept In order and
made attractive by the watchfulness and
care of Mrs. C. D. Simpson and her com
mittee. That her efforts are appreciated,
it may be shown by the following report
of attendance, which has been forty. three
thousand and forty, having an average
dally attendance of one hundred and thir
ty-five. These statistics cannot be exact,
ly accurate as many duties crowd our
work and many visits are not recorded.
The summer rest committee, of which
Mrs. H. D. Gardner is chairman, has not
had the demund or much work, but what
they have done Is worthy of commenda
tion. The committee has furnished us
with a bearding house directory, which we
nnd verp helpful.
The employment bureau sometimes
seems quite a hindrance, yet it opens tho
way for personal work. Employment has
been given to fifteen women. Perhaps a
new system may be adopted In which the
work may be carried on more satisfactorily.
The membership committee, under the
leadership of Mrs. H. J. Curr, has assisted
the association In many ways, but partic
ularly in bringing Into the association
many new members. The enrollment of
paying members Is four hundred and sixty,
five. Three hundred and fifty-one of these
are active members, eighty-two associate,
twenty-seven sustaining, and five lite
members.
JOURNALISTIC WORK.
There have come to pass during the year.
events not particularly connected with
any one department, but vitally affecting
the association as a whole. Three of our
young women attended the summer con
ference at Northtleld and nineteen went to
the state convention at Bloomsburg. Pa.
The work of this year has had the seal
of Journalism stumped upon it as two pa
pers have hade their debut, since Feb
ruary. The tirst was "Our- Young Women,"
which is the organ of our association. It
is published by Mrs. L. M. Gates every two
weeks. It contains the current events of
the association and It Is designed to spread
the news of our work in such a way as
to create new Interest, for the work,
among our members and friends.
The undertaking of any new enterprise
or the starting point of any work is of
great consequence. This has been real
ized by those faithful women who issued
"Our Woman's Paper" May 14. It was a
gala day In the history of the association
The thought originated In the minds of
the gymnasium committee; wlBhlng to as.
slBt In some manner the finance committee
in meeting the current expenses; later
"Our Woman's Paper" was decided upon
by Joint committees; realizing the great
undertaking, the women of Scranton unit
ed to making the enterprise a financial
success. Later it was decided to use the
proceeds as a nucleus for a building fund
for the Young Women's Christian asso
ciation.
Forty thousand copies of the paper were
printed. Although all the money has not
been collected, yet we are happy to realize
as the net proceeds about I4,o00. This sum
will be the foundation of a greater amount
which we hope to have in the near future,
and which will be placed In a Dunning,
that will be the pride of Scranton, and the
home of our young women and also a
monument of the generosity of the people
of this city.
TWO FIRES LAST NIGHT.
One in Hunt & Council Building.
Other in High School.
At a few minutes past midnight smoke
was seen issuing from the corner win
dow on the top floor of the Hunt & Coiv
nell building, coiner of Washington
and Lackawanna avenues. An alarm
was sent in from box 26 located on that
corner.
The blaze was located In the wood
work of a tinsmith's bench and In the
window casing aboVe It and was
quickly extinguished by the Phoenix
chemical company.. The Are started
near a tinsmith's stove. The damage
was not more than $50.
FIRE IN HIGH SCHOOL.
The new high school was visited by
fire last night. Shortly before 11 o'clock
an alarm was sent In by Lieutenant of
Police Davlea from box 24, corner of
Washington avenue and Mulberry
street. A woman pasing by the build
ing saw an unnatural light tn one of the
windows. When the fire companies ar
rived the blaze was quite large and the
smoke forboded a . large tire. A door
In the second floor was burst open
and the chemical hose hoisted through
a window. A pile of wood was burning
in one of the study rooms at the north
east corner of the building. A few min
utes, only, was required to extinguish
the blaze. How it started Is unknown.
Incendiarism Is Improbable as the wood
was near the center of the room and
the floor is of stone. There was no
paint or other liquids In palls or other
wise to cause combustion. The damage
was small.

BRIDE OF TWO WEEKS
CAUGHT ELOPING
The Couple Were Arrested aad Are Now
la Jail
THEY HAIL FROM AVOCA BOROUGH
The Woman Took All the Money She
Conld Lay Her Hands on Belonging
to Her BrotherinLnw to Enable
Them to Get AwayThey Were Not
Successful in Their Endeavor.
There Is one man whose confidence In
woman experienced a rude shock yes
terday, and he is no less than Kusctusko
Zamack, of Avoca. Two weeks ago he
led Mary Ferrett to the altar. Mary Is
about 23 and she has a very captivating
presence.
Everything went along as blissfully
as a midsummer night's dream until
yesterday. Though Zuniat k was very
happy, yet Tie was not unmindful of the
prosalo side of life, knowing that It was)
necessary to work if he would eat; so
he was In the habit since the day after
the wedding of going each morning to
the mines, until yesterday when he took
sick.
He was as trusting and as confident
of his wife's affection as he could be,
while she came In and out of the room
with toast and tonics for him until
about noon. Then her visits ceased.
But he was not selfish- He thought she
might have taken a respite from her
cares for a. short time to get a little
sleep. Nor was his constancy disturbed
until his brother John came Into the
room about 2 o'clock.
BAD NEWS FOH HIM.
John told his brother to get out of bed
and prepare to hear bad news. Kosciu
sko refused to believe the story until
the evidence of it was not to be gain
said. The woman In whom he had re
posed his trust had been caught In the
act of eloping with a fellow named
Laurent Franktz. and what added in
sult to inury was the fact that in ap
pearance there is nothing to be said in
his favor, while the husband she for
sook Is handsomer than the average
man.
Kosciusko mourned his wife, and his
brother mourned $13.75 which she stole
out of his trunk. They decided to pun
Ish her and hpr lover, and they took
the next train to Scranton and called at
the office of Alderman Millar, before
whom they swore out a warrant on the
charges of elopment and larceny.
QUEER VIEWS OF MATRIMONY.
Mary and Franktz were brought be
fore thje alderman at 11 o'clock last
night and were given a hearing. The
defense they offered was that the cere
mony of marriage between Mary and
Zumack was performed by a justice of
the peace, and they agreed that in five
weeks that would go before a priest and
have the marriage blessed. Not hav
ing hud the blessing Mary thought she
was free to go with Franktz. and so she
went. She could nut explain why she
took her brother-in-law's money.
The man she eloped with was base
enough to throw all .the blame on her In
order to avoid going to Jail, but It did
not have any weight and Alderman Mil
lar required both to give ball In the sum
of $500 for their appearance at court
They were not able to furnish the
amount nnd were committed. On ac
count of the lateness of the hour they
were locked up in police headquarters
until toduy, when they will be taken to
Jail.
FRA DIAV0LO LAST NIGHT.
Was Well Sung by the Wilbur Opera
Company.
"Fra Dlavolo" was sung by the Wil
bur Opera company at the Frothing-
ham last night before a good sized au
dience. The opera was rendered with
more spirit and there was general Im
provement over thu work of the com
pany on Monday night. As on Monday
night the marches of the chorus and
