NEWS OF THE
RELIGIOUS WORLD
Rev. Jacob Shelty, of Ohio, Called to
Pastorale of Chestnut Street Church.
ITS, GREATEST NEED IS MEN
Plea Made in the July Number of
Young MenSong Service nt Wash
burn Street Pretbyterian Church.
Dedication of St. Ignatius Church
of Kingston Nervier in Churches
Tomorrow.
The Chestnut Street Presbyterian
church, which has been without a pas
tor since the death of Rev. Mr. Pape.
at a meeting held last Monday evening
decided to call to the pastorate Rev.
Jacob Shelty. of Ohio. Mr. Shelty
preached at the church last Sunday and
so pleased were the congregation that
drrangemeuts were Immediately made
for the meeting of Monday night. Mr.
Shelty has ucceyited the call and will,
with his wire and four children, locate
here in September. The new addition
to Scranton ministerial circles is 32
years of age and is recommended for
his ability as a preacher and as a gen
eral worker. He la especially popular
with the young people. The Chestnut
street church now numbers 84 members
nnd the church building 13 free from
debt.
The July number of Young Men. the
olliclal organ of the local Young Men's
Christian association, has this to say:
"The greatest need of the Scranton as
sociation at present is men. The Scran
ton business men have nobly supported
the association, and have enabled the
directors to pay off every cent of In
debtedness, buth for building and cur
rent expenses, nnd now they Justly look
for large results In the mental, moral
and physical Improvement of young
men. The secretaries of the associa
tion cannot do what must be done. At
least one hundred and fifty of our active
members should be active on some of
the association committees during the
coming year. At the May meeting of
the board of directors it was decided
to change the time for the rppolntment
of association committees from April 1
to September 1, and to request the pres
ent committees to continue in office un
til that time. This change was sug
gested because it was felt that the long
Interim during the summer months,
when bo many of our members were out
of the city, coming as It did directly
after the organization of the commit
tees, gave them a poor start for their
year's work. Under the new arrange
ment the appointment will be followed
by an immediate organization for work
at the beginning of the busy season.
The quartette of the Washburn Street
Presbyterian church, under the direc
tion of Mrs. B. T. Jayne, will give a

numerous requests have been made for
another. Next Sunday evening the
programme will be more varied .than
before, several musical people from the
central city having consented to assist
the quartette. Rev. Mr. Moffatt will
also give a short sermon In harmony
with the reBt of the service. As this
will be the last Sunday evening church
service before the pustor's annual vaca
tion, a large congregation will no doubt
be present. During the month of Aug
ust the evening service will be In charge
of the Christian Endeavor society of the
church.

MUSICAL NOTES.
Miss Sadie Kaiser, the well known
vocalist and London correspondent of
The Tribune, had the honor on July 9
of singing before their Royal Hlgnesses
the Prince and Princess of Wales, the
Princess May, Duchess of York, and
Princess Victoria of Wales, and suite,
at a concert given at Stafford House,
the London residence of the Duke and
Duchess of Sutherland, which, next to
Marlborough House, the London resi
dence of the Prince and Princess of
Wales, Is the grandest of the town
houses of any of the nobility and roy
alty of the United Kingdom. She sang
the three songs, "London Pride,"
"Sweet Lavender" and "Roving Jenny,"
being accompanied on the piano by the
composer. Lady Parkyns, who, as well
as being a great lady and social leader.
Is also the noted composer of some of
the finest songs brought forth by the
present generation of song writers.
Their Royal Highnesses enjoyed Miss
Kaiser's work very much and applaud
ed her heartily when she had finished
quite an exception; and the princess
personally complimented Lady Parkyns
and Miss Kaiser on their Joint perform
ance afterwards. At the recital she
carried a large bouquet of La
France roses, white orchids and maiden
hair ferns, which was the gift of Lady
Parkyns. Miss Kaiser has also been
selected by Sir Alexander Mackenzie
to sing the soprano solos In the choral

A new Invention by which the pitch
of a piano nan be raised or lowered In

In a musical way that will prove of un

not be Included In the list of numerous

appearance of really good Instruments.

EUROPE'S 1X8ANF. Rl'LERS.
Many Crazy Sovereign Have Occu
pied Mod era Thrones.
From the Boston Traveler.
It has been Bald that no reigning
royal house In Europe Is free from the
taint of Insanity, and there are many
actual lapses into insanity, by reigning
sovereigns on record. John of England
was probably Insane toward the end
of his career. Henry VI. was dlntlnctly
an imbecile; so was Charles VI. of
France. If Philip III. of Spain were
alive in the present day he would cer
tainly be considered a religious man
lac. George III. of England was in
sane for ten years of the regency, but
this does not bring him under the terms
of the question. The late Ludwlg of
Bavaria was e. hopeless maniac, but
the most signal example of permanent
insanity on the throne was furnished
by Paul I. of Russia. Though he begua
his reign well, the French revolution
seems to have entirely turned his brain.
He forbade the wearing of round hats
or any French fashions throughout hla
empire, forced his soldiers to powder
their hair and wear long queues,
obliged his nobles to stop their car
riages In the street and get out and
kneel In the mud as he passed. He made
and unmade alliances and treaties with
the Irresponsibility of a schoolboy. la
fact, no sane man could possibly have
conducted himself as he did in such,
position.
