ell. g ONE WOMAN'S VIEWS.
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.

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:

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.

Bishop Doane, of Albany, who closely

"Bishop," said a fellow prelate tho
other day, who Is noted for his demo

often regretted thut you wero not a resi

"Indeed?" asked the Bishop. "And why
so?"

A SERIOUS LOVE SPELL.
A young lady sings In our choir,
Whose hair Is the color of pholr.
But her charm Is unique.
She has such a fulr chlquo, .
It lu really a joy to be nholr.
Whenever she looks down the alslo
Sho gives me u beautiful smalsle,
And of all of her beaux
I am certain sho cheaux
Sho likes me the best all tho whalsle.
Lust Sunday she wore a new sacque,
Low cut at the front and th'o bacque,
And a lovely bouquet
Worn In such a cute wuet
As only few girls have tho knacque.
Somo day, ere she grows too antique
In rrarrlago her hand I shall slquu;
If she's not a coquette, .
Which I'd greatly legrette,
Shall share my six dollars a wlcque,

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.

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.
