How true It Is that an hour can de stroy tho result of years of labor and sacrifice! Our beautiful Young Men's Christian Association building is gone, The spot which has been a pride to all Scrantonlans Is today a thing from which' the eyes turn nslde in horror nnd pain, and while, mercifully Indeed, life was spared In tho conflagration of Thursday night yet there Is much of pathos In the loss of this once line structure. How many hro the memor ies that centre about the smoking ruins. The history of the noble organization culminated In the handsome home, se cured after trials and discouragements. What a Joy and a delight has been that Young Men's Christian association since Its erection. What a power for good and for the strengthening of the bono and sinew of tho community dwelt beneath Its welcoming shelter and how we shall miss It! We look back over the years so swift ly vanished and realize how much that belonged to the noblest side of our city's growth has disappeared In a night of llamc and destruction. We may have, no doubt we shall have, a new home for the Young Men's Chris tian association, but without entertain ing in any sense the views of a uessl mlst we cannot but realize that some thing has lied from us this brilliant, icy February night that Is an irrepar able loss In its associations and sen timent. With the lost Young Men's Chrlstlnn association lilt the visible signs of many scenes dear to Scrantonlans who have dwelt in this city for the past twelve or fifteen years. Who can re member that great wave of religious enthusiasm that swept over the com munity from Its vantage ground In tho spot once a svnonym of all that was worldly, frivolous and to many minds, pernicious? Do you not remember It? Can you not recall the scenes In the skating rink where for night after night, a man uninteresting and even heavy of countenance swayed thous ands by the simplicity of his speech and his hold on something beyond that few of his listeners could explain. Do you not remember Dwlght L. Moody's week of preaching and how at Its close when the hearts In his vast congrega tions were thrilled and softened by the magic of his words and by the emotion wrought out through the wonderful voice sung by the friend at his sld?, how the great evangelist plead for the Young Men's Christian association and tho home it must have? Swiftly tho subscriptions came In and even then ro?e like a fairy castle before the Im agination of many devoted ones the fulfillment of a blessed dream. Then another scene under the same roof Is treasured in memory. It Is a brilliant picture, tho like of which was never before beheld In this region nnd which has never by any possibility been approached since, the splendid pageant of the authors' carnival is al ways indissolubly connected with the thought of tho Young Men's Christian association for the benefit of which it was given, nnd th'o memory Is one of a series of views, magnificent in con ception and splendid in detail beyond description Who will forget the bril liant procession beneath the changing lights, the kings and queens of other days, the knights and ladles, the beau tiful embodiment of many a writer's brain and the great names of history and tradition? Can you not again sec the handsome king ot tlia carnival, the lovely queen, tho heroes of old, the fair women that held the vvmil in their frail hands? Can you ever leave Mr. Micawber out of your memory's cas ket, and will you not often recall the picture ot t'nele Torn, ot unt Chloe, of the' Cottage Snowland, jf the fierce Mcorteh bandits who used to make a raid on the stores of New England dainties and blooJ-thlrsty, carve pump kin pies and doughnuts with their wlcl.ed sclmetars? Ah, me. It was a week to be remembered and now the reason for which Its glory was called out of tho dim, rich treimutes of the past, has vanished In a last awful Maze of utter extinction. Aside from the financial loss, aside from the dis tress of many whose Interests am so closely nllled to the organization, aside from even the blow to the spiritual Inspiration of tho young men of our city, Scranton has mot with n loss in which sentiment Is deeply concerned, which can scarcely be retrieved, Speaking about the authors' carnival to memory ever dear, to a reminder that the management of the Homo for the Friendless has In serious contem plation tho Idea of arranging for some really great affair to relievo the Home, In some degree, the cloud of debt now hanging over It. Whether this Idea will take the form of a splendid pa geant su'jh as was the carnival, wheth er It will lie a fair and klrmess on a colossal scale or "what will be the re sults of the deliberation can not yet be determined, but that there will be something In which the public beyond local confines will bo interested seems reasonably certain, The Homo managei'3 are continually being delayed by applications from peo ple wha want to glvo "benefits" for tho Institution with an incidental under standing that the promoter will prob ably receive most of the benefits. .All sorts, kinds nnd condition ot entertain ments arc offered. Tho latest proposi tion, comes from a man who Mob a real ly great scheme In his brain. Ho Is not a little enthusiastic over his plana and would like to lmbuo tho ladles with tho same enthusiasm. His proposal la to organize a superb minstrel troupe, tho personnel of which shall be com posed of tho board of managers. Tho plan was presented yesterday at tho regular monthly meeting and produc ed a mild sensation. Tho mental pic ture of the managers of tho Homo for the Friendless blacked up and nctlng as "end men," Interlocutors, etc., was, to say the least, a little startling, and the comments called forth were pro vocative of much mirth. It is needless to state that tho proposition was de clined, although the management was assured that such a "show" would pack the theater and reap preclou3 dollars for a worthy object, so whatever may bo tho character of the entertainment which, it Is hoped, will bo given, it will not bo u minstrel show. Saucy Ileus. f FOR WHIST PLAYERS. A team of cracks from the Scranton Whist club ustonlshed the experts In Boston last Saturday by playing a re markably strong game against tho holders of tho American Whist League Challenge trophy. The teams were: American L. M. Bouvo (captnln), E. C. Fletcher, 11. II. Ward nnd F. P. Whitney; Scranton J. W. Dusenbury (captain), L. G. La Bar, C. D. P. Ham ilton and F. A. Hlntermlster. A Boston paper Bays of the matcn: For four hours. Saturday afternoon, tho teams representing tho American Whist club of this city and the Scranton (1'a.) Whist club wero engaged In a highly ex citing contest. Twenty-four Ucals, or one- halt tho regulation numuer in niaicnca for the American Whist league chnl lengo trophy, were played during the sit ting, und tho score stood 9 to S In favor of tho challengers from the coal re gions, when tho contestants adjourned for dinner. As this extremely low score shows, tho whist played was of n high order of skill. At tho evening session, from 8 o'clock till midnight, the homo team exhibited those superior staying qualities for which Aniefv.n Whist club teams have been noted In the past, and won out by a margin of nine tricks. Tho visitors deserve much credit for making tho trip to Boston nt this time. Under tho rules adopted at tlio last con gress of the league, tho cup must be sur rendered to tho western section of the league on Feb. 1, and had the challengers won ngalnst tho local experts no oppor tunity would havo been afforded for a singlo defense of the trophy.- Both teams played n strict, long-suit game, and whllo there wero no deals which showed va rlatl m of over three tricks, there was a curprlslngly largo number that pre sented opportunities for brilliant plays. Tho score by rounds of four deals each, follows: FIHST nALF. 1st I'd 3d 4th ."Hi silh Total American .. S r . 1 1 2 1 8 Scranton ... 1 1 ' 2 4 1 ' 0 0 SECOND HALF. 1st 2d 3d 4th Clh Cth Total American ..1 4 :s .". S r, IS Scranton ... 10 2 3 11 ti Lander M. Bouve describes the play as follows In the Boston Transcript: It Is an unusual occurrence for two teams to play so nearly an Identical sys tem ns was tho case last Saturday in the match between American and Scranton, for the American Whist le.iguo challengo trophy. Analysis of the play as record ed shows that on thirty-three of tho forty-eight deals tho samo suit at the two tables; on ten, tho samo suit but a dlller cnt card, and on live, a different suit. In these days of Individual preferences for Innovations in leads nnd systems, tho game was peculiarly enjoyable, us It fur nished opportunities for skilful strategy under similar conditions following the early developments. Of tho ten deals where different cards of tno same suit were opened, from two the fourth best was led from aco und six others, in plain suit, without a trump in leader's hand, and It was a singular fact that the mem bers of tho two teams choso tho oppo site course in these instances. In two cases, tho American players departed from the conventional American leads to tho extent that queen was led from queen, knave and two small, whereas tho Scranton players led fourth best. From ono hand, the American player led the uco, from ace and four small, his team s system demanding this lead as a single ton was held in a second plain suit. At tho second table his oponent opener! fourth best. The ton, from king, knave, ten and three small was led by the Scran ton player from a hand where the Ameri can player led fourth best. American opened tho top of a long weak suit in two cases, Scranton fourth best. Tho lead of king, In placo of the uce, with five lu suit by ono of tho American players, in another case, was duo to tho fact thut the player Intended to follow with a sin gleton trump. Ills object was not so much to declare tho ace as it was to glvo partner a posslblo inkling that the trump to bo loO; was not from strength. In ac cordance with his tonm's system, the top of aM sequence of lew cards was led by one of the American players, whero tho Scranton player led fourth best. Three of these ton deals showed a gain of ono trick each for Scranton, and live, ono each for American, but in only two cases could ,tho .gains bo attributed di rectly to tho openings. Of the ilvo deals whero different suits were opened, on ono Anicilcan lost by opening from tho king, knave, 1 and 3 of hearts, rather than from a spado suit consisting of queen, 10, 9, 7. On nn other, Scranton gained by leading iho aco of hearts followed by king, from tho following hand: Hearts, aco nnd king; spades, 8, 7, 0, 4; diamonds (trumps), S, 7, 4; clubs, 9, 6, R, 2. Leader's partner called for trumps and the cholco of opens was good for ono trick, Two other deals showed neither gain nor loss, although American opened trumps In one case, where Scranton opened u plain buU, nnd tho gain of ono trick by Scranton on tho last of the flvo deals was duo to poor play on the part of ono of tho American players. No suit containing less than four cards was opened by the original leader on either side, throughout the match, and In only four or five cases wero short suits opened early In tho hand. Two or three of these wero singleton trumps. It was rather remarKnmo tliat the American players did not havo u single opportun ity for the exhibition of the bold trump leads for which they nro noted. For twenty-four deals of the match. Mcssrs. . Dusonbury, LaUar, Hamilton und Hintermelstcr played as line a same ns any quartette over encountered by tho American team. During the second half tho strain of the contest nffactcd their play, whllo that of tho homo four was extremely brilliant. One Title the Hishop Missed. Bishop Doane, of Albany, who closely follows tho ways of the Church of Eng land, often signs himself "William of Albany." "Bishop," said a fellow prelate tho other day, who Is noted for his demo cratic ways, "do you know that I havo often regretted thut you wero not a resi dent In Iluffalo." "Indeed?" asked the Bishop. "And why so?" "Recauso," tald the other, without a smile, "you could then 'sign Voiirseir 'Buffulo 1)111.

Telegraph. 101 YEARS OLD. I -. . t i Her Health in Recent Years Is Due to PAINE SCELtRY COMPOUND Think of It! More than a century ' Old! And her old age Is not a calamity. Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grlnnell, who two years ago at the age of 99, sent to the proprietors of Palne's celery compound an unexpected and unsolicited testi monial now two years afterward (when she has lived In good health beyond a century) again writes with her own hand another hearty letter of thank fulness for the wonderful good this great remedy has done her. Mrs. Grlnnell was born In Benning ton, Vt.. July G, 179G, and Is today living with her daughter, the wife of Martin Fowler, of Colchester, Vt., a beautiful town near Fort Ethan Allen. Her father was a farmer and hntelkeeper, and she lived upon the furm until her mnrrlage. Mrs. Grlnnell rises at daylight, works about the house, and when the weather will permit walks out doors. Her eye sight is good, and she spends many hours crocheting and doing fancy work. She keeps abreast of the times, and Is remarkably well Informed. She de clares that she does not feel any older than she has for years, and If people half her age enjoyed such health as she they would consider themselves for tunate. She has had seven children. four boys and three girls, two of whom ate living today. In 1893 she wrote to the proprietors ot Palne's celery compound: Palne's celery compound has been my health preserver during the last few years. Whenever I have an ache or a pain a few doses of this remedy gives meellef and strength. Few wo men even though much younger than I, enjoy as good health, for my appe tite Is natural, my sleep refreshing, and I can walk quite a distance with out feeling tired. People are surprised at my vigorous appearance and activ ity, which I believe Is the result of my utlng Palne's celery compound. It has cured me of constipation, and Is of great help to mo when over tired. Gratefully yours, Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grlnnell. WOMAN'S COMING JUBILEE. Soml-Contcnninl Aiinlvcrsnrr of tho Woman Suifrnge Movement. A notable seml-centonnini anniver sary Is to be held In Washington, D. C, Feb. 14 to 0, by the National Wo man Suffrage association. Fifty years ago when a meeting was called nt Seneca Falls. N. Y to discuss 'Wo men's Rights" the voii.l was startled. The name "Women's Rights" was quite the proper term to use In this early time, ns really women then had al most no rights, or opportunities. Tho advocates of this reform by their con stant agitation and protests against the semi-slavery reform by their con stant agitation and protests against the semi-slavery' of women havo ac complished so much that today the terms "Women's Rights," und "Equal Suffrage" which Is tho direct isuo at present. As Pennsylvania women let us be jubilant over our many acquired lights und.prlvileges. Since ISIS wo have gained the con trol of our own property, the power to collect our own wages, to keep a bank account, nnd to make a will; the own ership of the shoes on our feet, the bon nets on our heads and the clothes we wear, the joint custody and services of our children, the privilege to attend high schools, colleges and universities, to act as notnry publics, to serve as school directors, trustees or corpora tors, and perhaps the greatest privilege o,' all Is the freedom to embark In any occupation we choose from preacher, doctor, lawyer, and teacher, to mer chant, blacksmith, cook and dressmak er. Notwithstanding all the melancholy predictions made by persons opposed to a larger liberty for women, the trade of homo making has not been deserted, as homes still exist, and the mother love Is as true as ever. Through this wider opportunity for work and study, women have become more Intelligent, Independent and companionable, better fitted to make the home attractive, nnd wiser In the care of their children. While Joyous; over our gains we must not bo mindful that the state consti tution und laws still discriminate against us, our work is not ended un til women enjoy all the rights and privileges of full citizenship. All are Invited to Join In this Jubilee, either at homo or In Washington. Lucretla L. Blunkenburg, President Pennsylvania State Woman Sulfroge association. THE DIBINI'ECTION OF BOOKS An Easy Wnv to Destroy the Disease Germs They llnrbor. FrflTh Ihe New York Times. A discussion on "The Disinfection of Books" was held before the New York Library club at tho Jackson Sqaro branch of tho New York free circulat ing library, 251 West Thirteenth street, - -, . Two years after, Mrs. Grlnnell, still vigorous, writes another grnteful let ter in praise of this great remedy that has done so much for her: Dec. 11, 1897. Wells, Richardson Co.: Gentlemen Palne's celery compound still keeps me from weakness and sick ness. I do not use It continually, but take It occasionally, and ns a conse quence have not been sick for a long, long time. I recommend Palne's celery compound to every one In need of a remedy, and hope every old ferson will use It and be saved sickness and suf fering. Yours very truly, Mrs. Emyle Hyde Grlnnell. Palne's celery compound Is especially valuable for recruiting the strength and spent energies of men and women advanced in years. It is the one prep aration considered worthy tho name ot a true nerve food and blood remedy by physicians throughout the country. It Is prescribed by them In every State in the Union to tone up the system, regu late the nerves and restore health and strength. Nothing In the past has ever ap proached It In power of building up weakened nerve tissues and giving strength to the tired body. In severe enses of persistent headaches, dyspep sia, neuralgia and sleeplessness, due to nervous feebleness, Palne's celery com pound has a record of rapid and last ing cures that embrace every city and town In the wide sweep ot the United States. Its remarkable power over disease lies In Its active replacing of worn-out parts by new, healthy ones, and Its healing and purifying action among the most minute' tissues of the body. It searches out the weak parts at once, and sets to work to build them up. The tired body feels the strengthening ef fects of Palne's celery compound forth with. Give the nerves a chance to recover, and the entire body will regain Its health and strength. Take Palne's cel ery compound. yesterday afternoon. About seventy members were present. Arthur E. Bost wlck, the librarian of the New York free circulating library, and president of the club, presided. In tho discussion Dr. John R. Bill ings, the director of the New York public library, was the principal speak er. Dr. Billings said, In part: "At an Investigation made by tire state board in Iowa three years ago it was found that kIx cases of scarlet feyer were undoubtedly communicated through circulating library books. Other diseases may be communicated In the same way. There Is not much danger of this from the edges of cards, although they are foul and lllthy, and undoubtedly filled with bacteria, more especially with those of skin diseases. In onl'er to prevent any possibility ot tho diseases through books It is neces sary to destroy the bacteria. "We cannot use the method of ap plying 210 degrees Fahrenheit of dry heat. That would curl the leaves and injure the bindings. Much less can we apply 212 degrees Fahrenheit of wet heat. We cannot apply a solution o corrosive sublimate or zlno chloride. Tho fumes of burning sulphur are both inadequate nnd undesirable. "Two years ago when In Philadelphia I suggested to one of the fellows In tho laboratory that It would be desirable to seek a new method. Formaline was known to be a destroyer of bacteria, and he set to work on that. This can bo purchased In a drug store, or can bo mado by burning methyl alcohol. A saucer of formaline, a book which hud been Infect d with the bacteria of diph theria, another with scarlet fever and another with erysiples were placed un der a bell jar. The experiment showed that one cubic centimeter of forma line to 300 cubic centimeters of space would thoroughly disinfect any book in fifteen minutes." THE REASO.V l'UK IT, It took place In a little, overgrown town in the far west. The man from tho east had waited tor two hours nnd seventeen minutes for an electric cur. When it arrived at last und ho had climber nboard ho asked tho conductor, us he paid his faro: "No accidents this morning?" "None, sir." replied the official. "Running on schedule time?" "Wo ure." "Nothing the matter with the genera tors?" "Not a thing." The questioner paused for a moment. Then ho naked. "Well, would you mind telling me Just how far apart theso dashed cars do run, then." "Not ut nil, sir." replied tho man In blue, "every seventeen miles." "Every sevenWen Miles," repeated tha easterner. "How do you moan?" "Track's- seventeen miles long and this Is the only cur." Then tho man from the cast was satlv llcd. Exchange. - ! 'JV -J ., Ub .
