It required about twenty-flye car riages to convoy the delegates on the excursion drive over Elmhurst boule vard. It was after 4 o'clock when the lust conveyance left the rendezvous in front of the Young Men's Christian.as soelation building. The number that took the drive was large, considering the raw air and threatening weather. It wus nearly 6 o'clock when the car riages returned to the city. The occu pants, though most of them were chill ed through, did not regret the trip. The ride over the ten miles of mountain macadamized road was enjoyable and gave visiting delegates an idea of the Bcenlo beauty of Scranton'a surround ings nnd of Scranton's wonderful growth In the midst of an environment of mountain country. The excursion was planned and con ducted by the financial committee, of which J. V. Browning is chairman. COMMITTEE CONFERENCES.

Scranton will probably be represented on the governing board. Of all the jolly Endeavorers In our city there are none more "effervescing" than Eastonera from "the forks of the Delaware." Since the announcement of Easton as the convention city for '97, their enthusiasm has known no bounds. They are a crowd of workers that can't he beaten anywhere. The evidence of their good work was seen yesterday when they made the plea for their native city. By means of a canvas of the city they have already secured ac commodations for 4,000 delegates and have raised $2,000 with which to pay the expenses of the convention. The Easton delegation arrived on Tuesday evening and are staying at the West minster. Samuel T. Clifton has charge of the "Triple city" enthusiasts.

DAY OF PRAYER FOR YOUNG WOMEN. Today la the day set apart for the special prayer for young women by the Young Women's Christian association. All over the country In colleges and cities there will be special meetings. In our city It has always been the cus tom on this annual duy of united prayer to hold services in the church es. This year our association did .not hold such series on account of the Christian Endeavor convention now In session here. But through the courtesy of the com mittee of arrangements a few moments on the programme will be devoted to consideration of this object at 10.30 this morning, when Ilev. Dr. Robinson will speak In Elm Park church and Rev. Dr. Dixon In the Frothingham. ARE OPPOSED TO THE BUTTONS. Ministers of Easton mid Vicinity He solve Against Them. At the meeting of the ministers of Easton and vicinity held this week a discussion of the welfare of the young brought out numerous statements In reference to the questionable character of the "buttons" now so extensively sold. They are worn by men and boys, and sometimes by girls. Starting with political emblems only, they have de generated, bo that ambiguous and vul garT)hrusoB are often paraded. The ministers look the following formal ac tion: Resolved, That the Evangelical Alliance of Easton and vicinity, comprising min isters of nearly all the denominations of the Triple City, hereby expresses It strong disapproval and denunciation of the i rac tice of wearing "buttons" that bear Im proper inscriptions, that tend to degrade the murals of young people, and no: a few of which are vulgar or grossly obscene. Resolved, That we appoint a committee to bring this motter to the otticlil notice of the municipal authorities and the su. perinteudents of the schools. SHE SAYS IT IS HER LAND. Equity Suit Brought by Mrs. Mary Lynott Against Gilmore & Dutl'v. Mrs. Mary Lynott, of West Market street. Third ward, by her attorneys, Patterson & Wilcox, began an action in equity yesterday In court against Gil more & Duffy. She complains that Gilmore & Duffy entered up a judgment in court against her husband, Thomas Lynott, for gro ceries he purchased between April IS. 1892. and March 1, 1893, and that on this judgment a sheriff's sale took place on a lot 50x300, seized and taken as her husband's property, but which really belongs to her. It was sold on Sept. 14, 1R93, by the sheriff and brought J200. The defend ants purchased it, and now they have begun nn action against her In eject ment. She alleges that on July 2, 1882, the lot was purchased by her son, Michael M. Lynott, from II. B. Rock well, with money she furnished. She paid part of the money and gave a mortgage for the balance, and on Feb. 28, 1888, paid the mortgage in full. She now prays that the defendants may be enjoined from proceeding with the ejectment and that they be required to deliver up the sheriff s deed lor can cellation. WAS TO HANG YESTERDAY. Action of the Pnrdon Bonrd linvc Boschiuo Another Lease of Life. Yesterday was the date on which Jo seph Boschinowas to have been hanged for the murder of Frank Conforti nt Dunmore on Sunday, Nov. 11, lsli4. The prisoner feels very happyv that the event was Indefinitely postponed, but he did not know of his good fortune until a few days ago, when Sheriff Clemons received the official document from the state department. The sheriff would have been glad to have told Boschino that the board of pardons had commuted his sentence to imprisonment for life on the day that the board came to that decision, but he preferred to wait until the document arrived. The sheriff is directed in the document to convey the prisoner to the Eastern penitentiary, but he has not decided when to do so. Criminal court beglnB next week, and he may wait to see if there shall be any more can didates, MILLS WILL NOT RESUME. Rumor Ts False Which Said They Will Start I'p Monday. There was a general rejoicing on the South Side yesterday in consequence of the assurance that the lower steel mill is going to resume next Monday morn ing. It was circulated around that a notice was posted at the mill making this announcement. , A Tribune reporter saw General Man ager Henry Wehrum at his home In Elmhurst last evening and was In formed that the rumor is without foun dation. He said: "It such a notice Is posted. It Is without any authority from me and I know nothing about it." In reply to a question as to the pros pect of resuming soon, he said it ia uncertain how soon an order may be given to start up. Mr. Rockwell's New Book. The first edition of "Angelic Bongs," the new Sunday school hymnal, by George N. Rockwell, formerly of this city, la just out. Christian Endeavor delegates are receiving free sample pages at the Young Men's Christian as sociation and Powell's music store.

B. Price, E. C. New combe, A. H. McCol lum and Cornelius Smith are home from Pittsburg, where they argued the Smith disbarment case before the Su preme court, Monday. Mr. Smith did not get an opportun ity to speak, owing to the fact that his associate, A. H. McCollum, occupied all the time alloted for his side. Messrs. Price and Torrey presented the sp pelleee's side of the case. ODD MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS. The Turks have seven different kinds of flutes. In a very ancient Greek story the god dess Erato is represented with a psaltery. The musical Instruments of the Greeks closely resemble those of Turkey anl Syria. The Japanese talko, or drum, is pl.iced upon a permanent support and rest? upon pivots. The bandolon of Mexico Is not greatly dissimilar in shape from the moon g-iitar of China. The Darabouka, or Turkish drum, re sembles a long vase, the bottom cohered with parchment. The dombeg is the popular hand drum in Persia. It is double-headed and beaten with both hands. The rattles of British American Indians are frequently niado in tho form of birds or small animals. The balalaika, or Russian guitar, has a triangular body, with four strings, and Is played with a bow. The Apaches have three different kinds of violins, each having but one string and plaved with a small bow. The pung-kou is a small Chinese drum renting op. a wooden tripod. It is beaten with common wooden drumsticks. The Chinese la-pa in shuno is almost Identical with the ancient Roman tuba. It gives four notes C. G. C and ll. The Persians have three Kinds) i f guitars the sitae, the tar and sux all played with the fingers or with a plectrum. The psaltery referred to In tho Jewish sacred writings is a kind of dulcimer played either with the lingers of plectrum. The favorite Instrument in Spain is the mandorn, of the guitar family. It is usu ally provided with six pairs of wire strings. Throughout Africa, the cow's corn is a favorite instrument, being used In con nection with others on all festival occa sions. The peasantry of Russia have a guitar called the torban, having thirty strings, the body shaped something like a man dolin. Nearly all Islanders are provided with trumpets made of conch shells, the tips being taken off, thus forming a very ef fective horn. St. Louis Globe. Democrat.

( SCRANTON'S GREATEST HOME-FURNISHERS. ljjli liBs A SLICE FOR EVERY CRIMP. VERY ONE knows how difficult it is to cut bread properly aud so it will not be uneven in thickness and look badly. The crimps or corrugation in crust of onr loaf acts as guide for the knife and the result is beautiful and uniform slices. The Quaker puts that delicious crisp crust over the whole surface of the loaf you know how well we all appreciate it. Bread so baked stays moist, because the moisture is shut In by an all-over crust There is no heel to this loaf because it can't lop over the pan as in the case of all open pans. The crust does not crack as in the old-fashioned kind, which allows the moisture to slowly evaporate and leaves the loaf dry and unpalatable. Quaker bread will not burn. Two pans in one. Any two halves of the Quaker pans will fit' together forming a. complete round. Can be used as a cake baker, and for making gingerbread is simply perfection.

For over a year we have been giving a scries of baking exhibits throughout the country, using an cn.ire barrel of flour, and baking over 250 or more loaves of perfect bread light, well browneJ aud with a delicate crust each loaf weighing 1 1-4 pounds. Less than one hod of coal is used, yet a continuous fire is main tained with never more than three inehes of fuel in the fire'box at one time. Uther manufacturers, who dared not accept our 1,000 challenge to a public baking contest, are now trying to imitate our rane, our bakes and our pile of bread.
