The Bachelors nre no more. They
nre nil elthur nmrrlcd or weary of be
ing Bachelors, so they will drop the
name, hut go on and muttc a success
of a hall Just as of old. The "Now
Year" hall wilt he given nt the Froth
lnghnm on New Year's eve, and taking

brilliant function. The committee In
charge Is composed of James Blair, Jr.,
president: F. S. Fuller, secr-tury; P.
B. IJelln, treasurer; Joseph M. Boles.
L. B. Fuller. The list this year will ho
cut down and the committee In charge
will make every effort to have the hall
a representative, ns well ns an exclu
sively toclety event, and no trouble or
expense will he spared to make' It a
success. The decoration mid music
will ho speolal features, and the latter
will consist of Bauer's band of twenty

have had n widespread reputation, and
have been a great credit to Scranton,
and the committee feels that the city
will support such a ball In the future.

SKEIN OF WOOL.
By XV. Kaycss.
I am holding her wool in an attltudo
quaint,
Feeling Just llko a wooden-armed, stained-
window saint,
She Is sitting at caso in a negligent pose,
As charming and fresh as the dew on a
rose.
Sho thanks me for helping her out or her
tanglo
And calls mo "so kind"
When I say I don't mind
Why, to please her, I vow 1 would slavo
at a mangle.
Young Cupid, no doubt, In a mlsclhlovous
vein
Is weaving a snaro from that innocent
skein.
For who could be blind to those dimples
divine,
Those eyes that so roguishly glance up at
mino?
I am longing with lovcrllko kisses to
smother
That sweet little face
But I know It's a case
Of a flirt at ono end and a fool at tho
other. The Golden Penny,

B;lnnlng nt sundown tomorrow tho
month of Tlshrl nnd tho Jewish New
Year, C65S, will bo ushered In. The holy
day la known ns Rosh Ilashana, and
marks tho beginning of a number of
Important holy days In tho Jewish cal
endar. It Is a period made up of sol
emn services nnd festivals. With tho
beginning of the month of Elul, which
occurred In August, began the forty
days of propitiatory prayer, commem
orating tho days spent by Moses on
Mount Slnnl. These forty days end on
the day ot atonement (Yom Klppur),
which will fnll this year on Wednes
day, October 6. This is followed by
the Feast of Tabernacles (Succoth) on
October 11.
These days nre observed by Hebrews
throughout the world with Impressive
ceremonial. In tho orthodox syna
gogues the ancient ritual which has
been followed for centuries Is rigidly
adhered to, while tho conservative and
reformed wings of Judaism have adopt
ed a modernized ceremonial.from which
ninny of the traditional rites have
been dropped. Tho New Year will be
gin at sundown tomorrow, when short
special services will be held. Early in
the morning on tho following day the
formal service for the New Year be
gins, nnd consists of ritual, psalms and
songs, and usually a special sermon
Tho "dim religious light" of some of
our churches Is only equaled by the
dim, soft whisperings of the congrega
tions as they join In tho singing of tho
hymns. Whero is tho hearty, vigor
ous singing which at one time was
such a feature of our Methodist
churches7 Most of tho noise Is made
by the organ, and If by any chance It
Is disabled for a service, how very
feeble and frail Is the hymn, nnd with
what thankfulness we resume our
seats, glad that tho sad ordeal Is overt
Why can't we have a revival In con
gregational singing? Who Is respon
sible for the present state of things?
Christian Advocate.
The Rev. II. B. Johnson, writing from
Vlctorln, B. C, under date of Sept. 13,
says: "The readers of Tho Christian
Advocate may bo pleased to learn that
of the 120 passengers sailing today
from Vancouver by the Empress of
China, thlrty-nlno aro missionaries, of
whom thirteen are Methodists. This
does not Include tho children nor sev
eral Japanese who nre returning to
the home land for Christian work after
years of preparation In America. Of
the thirty-nine, ten are going to Japan,
eight to Korea, and twenty-one to
China. Dr. Eby and his church at
Vancouver gave us a splendid farewell
yesterday. Ten missionary societies
are represented. The Methodists are
ns follows: Methodist Episcopal
church For China, the Rev. and Mrs.
W. II. Lacy and five children, the Rev.

Two unusual services will character
ize tho day tomorrow In the Providence

Dr. Griffin Is one of the most enthu
siastic advocates of tho Chautauqua
Idea to be found In this country. It is
probable that he has successfully con
ducted larger circles than almost any
other man In Methodism. During his
last pastorate the reading club num
bered over ono hundred members and
the progress made by the students was
most encouraging. It is probable that
a very large class will be organized
under his direction. Dr. Glflln Is very
much pleased to havo secured so com
petent a leader as Mr. A. F. Bower,
whose literary attainments nnd enthu
siasm are well known. The circle will
Include many who have read the scien
tific and literary course prepared under
these auspices In other years, while
many new students will also bo en
rolled. The class will bo undenomina
tional and any members above the age
of fifteen will bo received.

Wells, Richardson & Co,:
Gentlemen Something over a year
ago I was suffering with nervousness,
loss of appetite and Insomnia. I was nil

usual hour, falls off to sleep very much
as usual, but, Instead of sleeping
through the whole night, wakes about
three or earlier and can got "no more
sleep after that time."

Zlzelmann, pastor. 'Fifteenth Sunday, af
somnia gives way to sound, refreshing
sleep.
Tho best remedy In tho world Is not
too much for any one to Insist on pat
ting. Every one, whetherslck or well,
must know the Immense good Paine's
celery compound has done und is doing,
tired, half-sick, sleepless men and
women all over tho country.
The vague half-hearted attempt bo
many people make to get rid of poor
health Is pitiable. Rheumatism, head
aches, neuralgia, kidney troubles, skin
diseases and dyspepsia may be wholly
exterminated from tho system, never
to bother ono again, If ono will but
cleanse the blood and regulate tho
nerves with Palno's celery compound.
Get out of despondency, tho "blues,"
or whatever name you give .these at
tacks of nervous depression. Don't
mope around half sick. Persons who
think that they are fairly well and
"only a Httlo tired" need Just the ton
ing up and refreshing that Palno's cel
ery compound undoubtedly gives.
Nothing could be more suicidal than
for sickly men and women to shut their
eyes to the great opportunities offered
by Paine's celery compound. No rem
edy ever called forth such vigorous
testimonials and decided opinions trom
every class of mon and women

MUSICAL NOTES.
Miss Wlnnlfred Sullivan, recent so
prano soloist of Elm Park church and
who left hero In April of last year to
accept an engagement In a church at
Yonkers, N. Y is at Lima, O. She
sang there recently at the Lima club's
reception, nnd concert nt the opera
house concerning which the Republican-Gazette
devotes a column criticism
nnd contains the following: "Miss
Sullivan has been a favorite songstress
since the days when sho and her sister
used to attract lovers of the human
voice to the cathedral. Since that SIlss
Sullivan has traveled far Into the land
of art. Her singing last night was
full of fire and force. It Is not strange
that she received nn ovation. Sho
came down the stage like a young
queen and carried the audience with
her. SIlss Sullivan was to sing In De
Koven and Smith's new opera, 'Tho
Highwayman,' but out of deference to
the wishes of her family, she declined
the tempting offer which might have
been the stepping stone to fame. Her
intention is to continue concert and
church work, for which she has several
offers. Tho songs rendered for encores
were Garrett Smith's 'Slumber Song,'
and Jordan's 'Life Lesson."
