Philadelphia, Spoke About the Uvangellcal Alliance. THE WORK IT IS GNQAQGD IN Somutimus It Is Contused Willi llio Chrlstlnn Alliance, lliu Spanker Snld, mid Rtitii They Aro Called (ho I'nllli IIcnlurs--Oim ol tho Ob jects oi Ihu Alllniioo is to Kdiioute l'lihllc Opinion -- Meetings This Afternoon und livening. Tho "muss meeting" or rally -which was advertised for last evening at the Penn Avenue Baptist church, secured about thirty people ns an audience. Tho character of the meetltiK really de served n lnrtrer hearing. The speaker, Dr. W. C. WU1, of Philadelphia, Rave a hiillli'nt und intcrcstli'g address. As colleague of Dr. Joslah Strong, whoso book, "Our Country," innde such a sen batlon o. few yeats ago, his position and talent are veil known. Bev. .1. W. Pord presided and opened tho meeting with leading from Ephcslans, lr. Ilev. 0. T. Piico offered prayer. Kev. Dr. Webb then gave nn exposi tion of the nieunlnij and alms of the Evangelical nlilance. Ho said that a great deal of Ignorance exists with re gard to its object. Sometimes It has been confused with the Christian alli ance which it antedates by many yet.rs. Its leaders have heen called fnlth healers and various other mis taken ideas have prevailed regarding it. He then said that tho Kvangellcnl Alliance originated In London about fifty years ago. Eight hundred clergy men, representing fifty different de nominations, came together from all parts of the world to promote Chris tian unity. As the result of their de liberations they organized the Inter national Evangelical Alliance. BUT LITTLE UNITV. At that time there was very little unity among the various professing Christians. Instead of fighting the common enemy they were engaged in fighting each other. , "I -tiring the Peninsular war," said tho speaker, "a captain of artillery served a gun with admirable precision against n body of men posted in a wood to his left. At the moment the great duke rode up, looked through his field glass In the direction ot the shot, and then quietly remarked: 'Well aimed, captain, but no more ot that! They are our 39th. That mistake has lieen repented too often in the history of the church. "As the result of the work of the Mllanee nnd of the Young Men's Christian association, and in more re cent years of tho Christian Endeavor, Christiana have come to know each other better and to respect each other. P.ul we must come closer together yet. We must come together in heartv co operation. We can co-operate in mor al refoi'iis nnd In tho defense of our cherished Institutions. Some- of our greater and most beloved Institutions, like tho Christian Sabbath and the public rchool system, are In dinger. In order to save them we must edu cate public opinion and quicken the popular conscience." DISTRIBUTION OP LITEIIATUBE. This the Alliance proposed to do by the distribution of wholesome litera ture. Leallets were being prepared by the brighter minds and it was propos ed to employ the young people to dis tribute them. These leallets are to be translated Into different languages for tho perusal of the foreigners who come to our shores. Then ngaln a. state Alliance had been formed with a view to bring the sen timent cf the better element In the community to bear upon state legisla tion. Furthermore, the churches should co-operate for the study of so ciological and Industria'l problems. The speaker referred to the linrest and discontent that pervaded society and claimed that the only remedy was tho application of Gospel principles to so cial relations, Tev. Dr. George Elliot will address the meeting ai the same place this evening on the subject of "Social Con science." Dr. Webb will speak to clergymen this afternoon. SHERIFF'S DEEDb ACKNOWLEDGED.

Public Views ot a Orand Spring Ex hibition. ODD SHAPES; FINE -TMMMINQS Tho Comb nnd tho lloaof-Clrculnr Cbnpcnti ot Vlolots -- Stringiest lonncts--Tlie Mowers nt Millinery. Would you know what Is tho dernier crl In bonnets and what fashionable mllllnerS nre devising In the way of Enstcr hats to fascinate feminity and Incidentally to beguile them Into buy ing? Then listen not to a tale of woe, but to a tnlo of fashion. For this will tell you of tho very latest conceits In chic headgear. There aro almost as many ohapes, It seems, as there nre wearers, and no two hats are exactlv the same; some deft touch of the ar tistic gives them a cntchot alt their own, nnd the result Is Indescribably charming. The pompadour hat, the picture hat, tho shepherdess hat and that perennial favorite the short-back eallor, are nil much In evidence, as Is also the popular and becoming pnnnma sailor nnd crash toque. Satin and braid straws come In all tho .fashionable tints of lenf-green, Roman blue, violet, mauve and the burnt shades, particularly those of burnt orange. In almost every case, tho crowns of the hate nre of differ ent material than the brim. Crushed crows of tucked liberty silk over wire frames are exceedingly chic, nnd when combined with tho waving brim of sat in braid straw, an Ideal picture hat Is the result. A Rembrandt hat of curious design Is of black point desprlt drawn over pale pink muslin do sole, and is turned up In most original fnsblon at the side, held In place with two large and stiff choux of white satin, each fastened with a small steel buckle. The trim ming Is the ever-becoming black os trich feathers, held In place by a nar row clasp of cut steel. Another de lightful novelty In the way of trimming Is a high and handsome'eomb of cut jet mounted on tortoise shell unrlslne against the black lace straw, which Is all sewn with glittering sequins and veiled with filmy lace. A circlet of pink roses defines the crown, while clusters of the same He at the base of the comb. The llornl hat will also figure to some extent this spring, and little circular chapeaux of violets, mignonette and roses will be the correct headgear for evening wear and will even bo worn. It Is said, to brighten up the tweed walking gown or the tailor-made cloth creation. Charming little bonnets, especially designed for women who cannot recon cile themselves to strlngless headgear, are a feature of spring millinery, and many novelties are seen in that line. One of the prettiest Is of deep mauve straw, tho mirror velvet loop-like bows divided by bunches of violets, while a sweeping black osprey and narrow black velvet strings complete a charm ing whole. The newest flowers are shaded tulips, orchids In all their rich and varied tints, deeply colored fushlas, white and mause lilacs and all the dainty small flowers. These will be used profusely In red, white and pink. These interesting details of "what to wear" are prompted because of the wonderful showing at the first annual spring opening of Jonas Long's Sons' yesterday. It was an event of rare Importance in feminine circles, nnd they congregated there In large num bers from morning till night. The tore was one vast bower of flowers and potted plants. The Rotunda beau tiful In itself was enhanced by the addition of a unique decoration In the way of a "Horn of Plenty," almost thirty feet In length, which rises from the top of the casino in the center. Flowing from the mouth of the horn are cut flowers of all kinds, and Inter spersed here and there are clusters of electrlo lights. From the apex of the horn, three strands of flowers reach upward to where are floating figures, typical of angels. Tho balconies of the rotunda are banked with potted plants, the effect of It all being very beauti ful, especially In the evening. A spe cial effort at electrical display Is to be made by the firm Saturday evening. The Millinery window, which the big store's chief decorator has put In on Wyoming avenue, Is probably the fin est exhibit of the artlstlo In dress that Scranton has ever seen. The entire background Is of white, with a very delicate twining of green foliage. Sur mounting the background are thirteen huge pyramids entirely white from each of which protrude a cluster of electric lights, forming the name of the thirteen most prominent Parisian mil liners, nil of whom are represented In the showing of hats. In the center of the window, nt each end are two mam moth columns of white, twined with Dress Goods We are making a great display of Medium and High Class Goods in all the stylish weaves and colors. It will surely be to your advantage to visit our department and learn our prices before you purchase.

From these col umns to the uppermost parts of the window nro immense strands of flowers, falling gracefully In curved lines at tho sides. In the direct center, between the columns Is a pyramid of (lowers, on which rests a big doll, nattily at tired, and holding In Its hand nn elec tric light ibenrlng the Inscription "Spring Opening." Scattered hither and thither are a number of pattern hats. The window should be seen to be ap preciated. Altogether the spring opening of the Big Store was most auspicious, and large crowds -will doubtless gather there today and tomorrow, during Its continuation, That season of the year which of all others sug gests the necessity of a new trunk or bag.
