Religions Tho stale convention of Voting Wo men's Christian associations, which closed this week lu Wllkes-Barre, was an Important event. Few people out Hide the Immediate circle of this or ganization realize lis significance in the constantly widening inlluence it exerts. It Is not until one attends a convention that the full and complete consecration made by thousands of young women in tho land Is faintly understood. The beauty of the work Is that It touched all classes. The college girl with her splendid, billllant Intel lect, her enger ambitions and rosy an ticipations of a useful life comes into tho magic clicle drawn by the beau tiful character of other earnest girls, and suddenly her outlook changes and the world, her career, her own life have a new meaning, nnd how far the effect of her own awnkened Impulses thu3 rightly directed may extend, lssome thlng no earthly prophet can foretell. The girl In lowly life, subject to temp tations of which her college sister knows nothing, is also brought under tho sway of young women In city as sociations whose lofty Ideals lift her beyond the sordid conditions she has ' known. Between these representatives of class distinction range n long line of workers who reach out nnd touch tho heartstrings of the community with such n blessed and wonderful touch that no human soul can reckon the re sults on earth, much less In the life beyond. According to n circular letter Issued by the executive committee of ten of the Rescue Mission it is a question whether that institution can bo con tinued for another year. The commit tee has found It no easy task to pro vide funds for the mission's support and, as iar as they aro concerned, It will close Jan. 1. Tho facts In the mat ter are revealed In tho following cir cular: Dear Friend: We, the members of tho executive committco of the Scranton lies cuo Mission, take this means to Inform you that so far as wo aro olllclally con cerned tho mission will close January 1, 1KW. For six years wo have given of our time nnel assumed personal responsibility for this work, and wo feel that the burden should be placed upon other shoulders. If the Christian people of Scranton ore livtere-sted enougli in the mission to guar antee it financial support for another year, new workers can be found who will take up the work and doubtless accom plish better results than heretofore. Tho Scrnnton Rescue Mission was opened nt 111 Franklin avenue, February 11, JS!)2, and for six years its doors have never been closed. The clasi of people whom tho mission reaches and appeals to Is not reached, as wo believe, by any othtr Christian organization or by the churches. Since the mission opened, 2.2S1 meet ings havo been held, attended by over 177.CV) people, many of whom havo been converted and rescued from the slums of our city. In addition to the other work, a lodg ing house has been maintained where those considered deserving havo found shelter, some frco nnd others at n prac tically nominal tlgure. Tho number of free lodgings furnished is 4.521. and of paid lodgings 1.SS0. Consider tho Inllu ence tor good which such ixn Institution wields In a city like Scranton. You have been a regular subscriber to this noble work. We are sure you have been blcs d In giving to It. Will you continue to give, Is tho important question, or would you prefer that the mission should closo? With you rests the responsibility. Wo fce lleva that thero is no- better work to be done In thW city, and that It should not bo allowed to close. Will you slve to tboso who will bo called upon to take up the work in our stead tho same hearty and cordial support you have given to us? Your prompt response upon tho en closed card before December 1 will Indi cate whether or not you desire the work to continue That tho work may continue nnd In crease In good Is the prayer of your obedient servants, Luther Keller, William McClave, J. A. Lansing, W. J. Hand. D, B. Atherton, A. W. Dickson, J. W. Guernsey, C. D. Jon-s, J. T. Porter, T. J. Foster, Executive Com mittee. Thero will be a chango Inaugurated In the Sunday nfternoon devotional meeting nt the Y. W. C. A. tomorrow. A novel testimonial meeting will bo held, to which all ladles, whether mem bers of the association or not, are cor dially Invited to attend and give per sonal testimony of the help they have received from the splendid series of meetings addressed by Mrs. Norvell during her stay in tho city. The meet ing will begin nt 3.4.") and adjourn at 4. SO sharp. Mrs. Brewster and Miss Huber will conduct the song service Tuesday evening and open parliament will be held nt the rooms, at which time any and all questions pertinent to the work of the association will be answered. Miss Brooks, state secre tary, will preside at this meeting. Hev. S. Guy Snowden caused consid erable consternation Inst Sunday even ing at Moscow by making an attack from the pulpit on dancing. He con cluded his sermon by this appeal: "Young people, for the sake of virtue and honor, for character's sake, give up this devilish amusement. Avoid It as you would one who' goes about seek ing to kill you. Then your health will be preserved, your mental develop ment will not be hindered, your spir itual Interests will not be jeopardized, and your character will be spotless." The first service In tho Amerman Memorlnl chapel of the Penn Avenuo Baptist church will probably bo held on Sunday, Nov. 27. On the following Sabbath the formal dedicatory servlco will likely be held. The structure Is almost completed, tho only work to be done being that of putting tho doors and windows In place and painting.

All wo men are Invited; good Hinging. Dr. J. M. Bucley seems disposed to criticise the choice of Bishop Fitzger ald as president of the Ocean Grove association, not as a man, since he considers the selection thus emi nently fitting, hut as a bishop in whose i duties tho enormous responsibility and carp may Interfere.

Mrs. Kester Haines, Prominent New York Hostess, Relieved of Insomnia by Paine's Celery Oomtiound. There wxtsts among womsn who are 1 much in society a form of weariness resulting from overtaxed nerves, more inU.nSL. and depressing than any kn"' to tired murcles. The overcrowded lives of such wom en make them slaves of anxieties and annoyances which they cannot ignore. The following letter from one of New York's busiest hostesses shows how Implicitly Paine's celery compound Is relied on among the most Intelligent, well-to-do families as well as in the muny more humble hou&eholds n'll over tho country. New York City, Oct 9, 1S97. Gentlemen I think It but fair to you that I bear testimony to the benefi cial results of my use of Paine's celery compound. Two years ago I was almost a wreck from nervous prostration, resulting from overwork, mental and physical. I had lost my memory completely, and friends feared I would never recover. After trying several remedies to no I avail, my physician prescribed Paine's j celery compound, and within a few I days thero was a (Kcided Improve I ment in my condition. After the use of three bottles I was so much better that it was unneces sary for me to continue Its use-. Since then I have recommended it widely, and have yet to hear that It has fail ed to do all that I claim for It. To any one suffeilng from any of SAUCY BESS' COMMENTS Professor George II. Palmer, of Har vard University, has recently published a pamphlet on "Self Cultivation In English," In which he advises everyone to resolve to adopt "two new words each week." Many people have been unconsciously putting this maxim in to practice for some time, but tho new words they adopt are scarcely the ones which the learned professor would probably recommend. It is nn indica tion of tho frivolous tendency of the age that many "new words" are those which might far better remain un adopted until the end of the chapter. The facility with which the latest slang I Is assimilated by many young peo ! pie Is significant proof that they might 1 Just as readily add new and dignified, . elegant words to their vocabulary. Thexe are many sweet, pretty maids who have had refined training, attend , ed excellent schools and have mingled ; with elder people, whoso purity of Eng 1 llsh is a delight to henr, but too often I the younger ernes seem to consider It un altogether desirable thing to lie up I to date In slang as well as sleeves. I ! wonder If It Is because they wish to be companionable to tho young men who surround them; whether they fear to bo considered old-fashioned If their speech Is confined to the simplicity ot English used by their class of an old er generation. All last summer the popular slang took on the hue of golf and the base ball Held. It was highly decorative In certain respects nnd the acquisition ot i new words among some of the young women overstepped the modest aver- age of two a week. Ono was heard to use frequently nnd with much appar ent relish the expresslvo term "swat," though Just whut she meant was not always clear. Another frankly de clared that she hud a few swear words for which golf was responsible and which she wouldn't like her mamma to hear. A year or two ngo Chlmmlo Fad . den's picturesque stylo was quite In vogue, nnd a few of tho girls yet cling to "trim him down" and other favor ! Itn expressions. Chlmmle will hap- plly never have to answer for tho mis 1 demeanor of thrusting "nit" on a long suffering public. It is tho telegrapher with his rapid transcription of "not" red. It wus all perfectly proper, per who Is tho innocent author of this fectly frank and unaffected on the pn,-t crowning atrocity, for surely no mire i of everybody; no Buggestlvuness, no objectionable word, short of violent profanity, can bo conceived. Tho girl who says, "nit" ought to havo court plaster laid over her mouth for a month. It is Interesting to watch tho prog ress of slang nnd note by what easy and rapid stages It reaches good socle, ty. Much of It begins Its career in the concert hall or on tho variety stage and drops from lips whoso owners are held In contempt by good women and most good men. It reaches tho street, and 1b taken up with avidity by the gamin. Aftor college men and theatre habitues give It a. prominent place In their vocabulary, the swet young girl acquires it as a sort of trophy, just as she appropriates the fraternity pin. Sometimes it is tho thloves' jargon sh adopts. I heard a fair younu woman the ills attended upon continued lo3 of sleep I cmn and do heartily recom mend it. Very truly yours. Mayme I Haines. In all cases of nervous prostration, nervous Indigestion, neuralgia, sleep lessness, hysteria or Incessant head ache, the objective point ot a true remedy like Paine's celery compound Is to mekc more blood, gather llesh and increase the number of i-eel, health-giving corpuscles In the blood. Paine's celery compound fills tho vessels with red blood, drives out tho dangerous humors und thus gives re lief to host of aches, pains and weak ness. Women and men who have- lost llesh and grown colorless and are sub ject to aches juid pains, gain quickly in health from Palne's celery com pound. There is hardly a family ot tiny size where thero Is not soma member who Is feeble, forever tired and below the standard of health to whom Paine's celery compound would prove of invaluable help. Not only does this great Invigorator drive out! the aches and distresses that lvavei accumulated because of neglected rheumatism or ncurallga, but the lib eral gain In flesh and blood that la always a noticeable and wicourasrlnit result of Its use, brings about better health In the digestive, asslmllatlvo and secretive organs; in other words, all over the body. frankly assure a companion in the car the other day that "Tom pinched" her opal ring, and she meant to ask him If he'd "hung It up." Thu other girl seemed to have a compre hensive view of the situation. "You'll get It bnck, I don't think. Detcher tho the gum Madge has got It by this time," she remarked succinctly. For the past fortnight the language of! tlw stables and of tho football field has been In high favor, and probably will continue In first place until tho Christ mas holidays, when the college man comes home with a collection of fresh samples of recent date. But whut Hi comfort It Is that many of the nlcn girls do preserve the purity of thelt' speech despite the pollution of EngJ lish so constantly heard. As queried above, is It becauso tliy would be companionable nnd not ton far removed from the sphere of the average voting man of the day that some young women would Imitate hlri speech even more closely than his tied nnd collars? Not long ago a Scranton young man In a communicative und semi-pessimistic mood was heard to remark: "I don't know what wo nre coming I to, I'm sine. The time was, and l'nt not a patriarch either, when girls sat with their toes just peeping out front beneath their skirts. There was a fas cination to us about thoso dainty Utfla toes. Wo funded that the ankles wero slender and round above the high arched instep, which now and then vvajf revealed nnd swiftly hidden. Wo enter tained the most respectful thoughts or the pretty foot und the trim ankla which must naturally belong to It. There Is a deal of charm in mysterjr, you know. Well, all that Is changed In tho past two years. .1 bellove It's tho bicycle that's done It. The other af ternoon a lot of us, resting on a friend's veranda after a bicycle ride, sat In a. row with our feat on tho low railing. There was a great mlstture of feet, hg clumpy tan shoes disreputably barked; slender, pretty bicycle boots und lotV shoes of tho girls all wen) put up ati an equal elevutlon and could bo equal ly observed. Finally wo all fell to dis cussing the merits of stockings. Snmn of thu girls woro thick, checked golf; stockings llko the men's, and thero was an animated conversation over thp ( rival merits of green checks Versus tbnne-ht of imnronrlntv nr loaa ni r.- spect, but somehow afterward In thinking of tho way It used to be., t don't like It. Tho girls uro now splen d'd. Jolly chums; they aro just as good, Just ns pure and no doubt Just ns sweet as they ever were, but I haven't sot accustomed to tho nev order of things. Guess I'm old-fash-ioned; s'pose nono ot tho other fellowd think about It, but honestly now, t believe I kind o' miss the old girl, with tho tips of hor shoes showing beneath her gown's hem. I don't know that it would muko mo any happier, to ha certain, und to know that everybody else can also be certain about tho site of her foot and ankle, and whether she wears stockings checked In yo)lov and black or green and red," tfaucy Bess.
