Glllin Tho religious department of the Young Men's Christian nssoclatlon re ceived n decided Impetus Thursday night when, forty of the lending Chris tian young men of Scranton met nt a conference and planned for the ex- Monslon of the Sunday nfternoon Gospel .meetings. Those present represented nearly all tho churches In the city, many of them having been delegated by their pastors to attend tha confer ence. Tea was served at 0.30. and nt 7 o'clock General Secretary Mahy an- nour M nn Introduction season. Encn man present responded by giving his name nnd church connection, nnd It was found that seven denominations wero represented. A. A'. Rower then took charge of the conference and gave a telling address on the subject of tho "Needs of Young men In Scran ton." They need, said he, tho purify ing power of the spirit of Christ In their hearts, nnd If we have that spirit It Is our business to bring It to them. Addresses wore also given by J. L. Hone, Fritz Frank, Mr. Rarnnrd. of Dunmore, General Secretary Mahy and others. The conference was closed with prayer by the president of the Young Men's Christian association, II. C. Shafor. Tho llrst meeting of the series which this body of men hnve assumed charge of will be held next Sunday at 3.45, and will be In charge of Mr. J. M. Chance. The now Young Men's Christian nssoclatlon orchestra nnd the male quartette will lead the music, after which twenty or thirty men will give one minute talks. Ry this meeting tho association launched out for its winter campaign. This conference was remarkable In several respects. It was the ilrst dele gated gathering of the kind ever held here, nnd being composed of repre sentative earnest men of the several churches it means that about fifty wide-awake workers will be looking out for every strange young man who comes" to the city, to take hold of him and throw safe guards of the churches about him before the evil influences lying in wait have him in thrall. It may not be generally known that the Young Men's Christian nssoclatlon "Boarding House Bureau" is the means of placing n great number of young men In homes amid good and wholesome surroundings. There Is a larger demand than ever this year for the services of this bureau, nnd by the new scheme which will bo the out growth of Thursday night's conference, tho workers thus enlisted will tnke cer tain districts In hand to bring new comers within the Influence of the churches before the ever present temp tation of Irresponsibility nnd indiffer ence, bred from tho indifference of Christian people, gets too firm a grasp. There are hundreds of young men who go up nnd down our streets carrying church letters and having nbout them the atmosphero of a Christian home, but who nre fast going to ruin be cause some one did not reach out to them when they first came nnd gently draw them Into the safer circle of relig ious society and Influences. This sort of work Is what the new committee proposes to do, and certnlnly It must be blessed In the endenvor. Rt. Rev. Bishop Hoban, since his re turn from Europe, has been devoting so much of his time to assisting Rt. Rev. Blshlp O'Hara In administering the affairs of this docese that It has been found necessary to give him an administrator for the parish of St. Leo at Ashley, of which Bishop Hoban has had charge for years.

The nppearance of Miss Sadie Kaiser In Scranton on Monday evening with Sousa's band will, no doubt, be hailed with pleasure by tho many admirers of the talented young vocalist In this vicinity. Since Miss Kaiser's first np pearance in this city, three or four years ago, as a soloist In the produc tion of the "Fall of Babylon," the voice which made for Its possessor a local reputation, hns been steadily Improved by hard study and careful training until today Miss Kaiser Is almost with out a peer on the concert stngo. During tho past three years Miss Kaiser has not been heard but upon few occasions on this side of the Atlantic, but has won many laurels by her excellent work before the critical English audiences while engaged in study at the Royal Academy in London. There is little doubt that her remarkable talents will not fall to gain national recognition ere the present engagement with Sousa's band has been completed. II II II Colonel J. II. Mnpleson hns secured the Olympic theater, London, nnd will produce grand and comic opera. The Duko of Mnrlborough Is said to be among his financial backers. Colonel Mnpleson last visited Scrantfm about five years ago, at tho nead of a comic opera company, In which his wife, .the lamented Laura Schrlmer, placed the leading role, "Fadette," the opera produced, was a dreary composition of no merit whntever, nnd tho talented company engaged by tho colonel were unable to make anything out of It. "Fadette" received a merited "frost" and the Mapleson Opera company went to pieces In a Southern town. The members of the company wnlked bnck to New York, and Mrs. Mapleson se cured nn engagement In that city, where she sang until the time of her death. II II II John II. Blackwood, formerly editor of tho Scranton Sundny AA'orld, will be treasurer of the Francis AVUson Opera company this senson. Theatri cal and operatic managers are realiz ing inoro fully each year tho value of bright newspaper men In their business nnd a few seasons hence it is probable that there will be few members of the business end of theatrical enterprise who nro not graduates from Journal ism, John Blnckwood Is one of tho brightest of Scranton newspaper men and has hnd much experience In the theatrical line.

There nro enough enterprising men here but they seem to be possessed with a lunacy for office buildings. Re tween you nnd me the office craze has been overdone with respect to big structures filled solely with these, above a first floor devoted to store rooms. Reautlful and convenient ac commodation for stores appear nt fre quent Intervnls on our streets, but their vacancy Is as depressing as a series of pedestrians ench ndorned with a black eye. It Isn't an evidence of our vaunted prosperity and progress to see so many empty stores and ofllces. Of course the newer office buildings continue to be occupied. The tenants move out of the building erected last year to take tho one just finished. It Is like buying a '97 wheel. There isn't a toss up dif ference In real value between one made In December of last year, or one turned out Jnnuary 1S97, but the bicyclist feels that he has a reputation to sustain and he must have the up-to-date wheel. It Is fashionable to move Into the latest building with the crispest frills. Then It gives nn excuse for a little advertis ing In the only wny permissible to a professional man, so tho lawyer, the doctor and nil tho others move and try to look prosperous. AVhat some energetic real estate man should do Is to get up plans for sensible apartment houses in tho proper loca tion and his fortune Is secured. There Is a lovely plot of ground on Jefferson avenue at tho cornerof Mulberry street, adjoining tho residence of tho Into Georgo Throop. It Isn't likely that the present owners want to sell, but that Is an Ideal location for an elegant and fashionable structure and with light on all sides, a large number of tenants could be nccommodated. Some of tho apartments should consist of five or six rooms to suit smnll families, who now find It difficult to rent a dwelling at all meeting the requirements. Tho rent could Include elevator servlco and tho care taker could arrange to furnish domestic assistance when needed. Such a building hns been devised under the direction of a Chicago woman who Is likely to make a fine Income from Its proceeds. The difficulty with most projectors of any such departure In this city, is that they havo proposed selecting the wrong location. The sort of people who would make this Investment deslrnblo will not live on any or all streets that might be suggested. They prefer a neighborhood such as they have been familiar with previously. Such a spot as that already designated, or a lot which might be secured on AVyomlng avenue In the four hundred block, or on Madison, Monroe or Qulncy ave nues, would certainly bo profitable as a site for such a purpose. "Dear me" said a fair young woman whoso buslnes It Is to make people look younger and feel better," every woman ought to bo In business for a little time in order to see how Import ant It Is to keep her appointments. Of course It doesn't matter to the society woman or the girl of leisure, If she for gets that she made an engagement at 2:30 and goes off to play golf instead. There are other days and she enn mnko a second nppolntment; 6ut how nbout tho other persons whose time Is ab sorbed and whoso plans are disar ranged by tho failure?" Then she took a car and wont up on the Hill to fill an appointment with a patron who was probably down town. This has been said bo often of wo men that It almost seems they have accepted it as a fact and act accord Ingly. It means wasted hours and lost dollars for tho waiting one. There nro a few dentists who hold their pa tients to their appointments and ex THE PAST.)

The only person In. business who renlly gets even In this matter Is the dressmaker, and she, ns a rule, amply avenges all the short comings of womankind In general Ire the lack of punctuality or total forget fulness of engagements. It often makes a great deal of ellffer ence whether or not a woman makes a practice of keeping her appointments, and yet what a terrible bore the "aw fully" prompt woman Is, and how mur derous she causes other less correct sis ters to feel. Men will nlways tell a He when wo are late (unless the men are our hus bands, fathers or brothers) and say, "It really doesn't matter," and wo know all the time It does matter a lot, but how could we help It? Didn't tho gown we wnnted to wenr have to bo altered nt the last minute, or didn't wo have to pause a second or two and gaze at a lovely new hat in the shop window?

Rut nothing ever does happen to her. She is never late, never flurried, never discomposed, never anything but cor rect and good form and she will carry out the programme to the end of the) chupter; probably even being prepared to chide deatli at the last for being de layed beyond his scheduled time be cause such excellent order prevails lit the house that ho believes no one to be at home. But this wasn't what I started to say. Where was I? Oh, yes, the pleasant little woman who makes you younger. AVhy, she gives you face massage, oE courso; fixes up your bands until even if you paint china or have grubby fin gers from much meddling with tho ink) bottle? (a thing women should never allow themselves to do) they will loohj quite as if they belonged to a duchess. Sho pinches and pulls your cheeks with such deft touches, all with tho softest possible fingers, that tho brood tints tho newly aroused skin and you feel llkei a happy school girl. Sho doesn't believe In steaming tho visage;; nobody does any more, who knows any thing about treatment of the face, but she will really cause many wrinkles to disappear and will show how tho tired muscles may be wonderfully rested an art needed Jn this town, where much sunshine and bicycling produce queer puckered up faces on most women who ride, whether they; be old or young. But, dear me, Ihavo written too much already, and will tell all about how lo dispose of wrinkles next week. SAUCS BESS. A II UMAX sour,. A wlso man walked by tho river.
