THIS AND THAT.
Dr. Harvey, of Wllkes-Barre, has
inade public somo of the conclusions
he has reached In his rtxent examina
tion of a thousand young men recruit
ed by Lleuteiiant Dentler for the reg
ular army, 500 In Wllkcs-Bane nnd 400
In Scranton, having found only 151
from Wllkes-Barre nnd 175 from Scran
ton fit for the service. In many tho
deficiencies wero slight, but they were
enough to reject tho applicant. He
was surprised at tho carelessness the
un,j men had shown towards- the
tare of their teeth. Many of them
were rejected on this account. In cases
where the early services of a dentlBt
would have put them In good shape
there were no signs that they had ever
visited a dentist's oillce. He was
obllp.ed to reject a large number ow
ing to insufficient chest expansion,
strange as it may seem nearly all who
had narrow chests wero joung farm
ers. Brought up to run n plow or hoe
and scrape tho ground with long han
dled tools they hod strong arms and
back but were muscle bound nnd bent
over. The chest had been contracted
nnd few of them could expand on In
halation the requisite two inches. One
or two who wen otherwibo perfect
sjetlmens ho sent away exhorting
them to take two weeks and practice
exercises to broaden tho chest, and to
pend also a fow minutes night and
t.iorning taking and exhaling deep
breaths. These afterwards came back
nnd passed successfully.
Up found a good many cases of hy-per-trophled
heart that the careless and
rctkJet-s biejele riding that some of our
youn men Indulge In was largely re
sponsible for. On questioning some of
them they told him that they had been
accustomed to take long spins nnd In
dulge In racing.
The doctor also found that 30 per
cent, of the boys who had been stu
dents had defective eyesight, an alarm
ing condition. Ho says: "I know of
few better fields of humanltniianism
than the solution of this question of
preserving the eyes of our student bo s
and girls."
Varicose veins are frequently dis
covered, mostly among farmers. Hem
orrhoids were not to common as he
expected they would bo. Tho doctor
summed up his conclusions as follows.
1. Look out for the eyes of the young
and be careful that thev ate not al
lowed to overwork or strain them
2. Let the young farmer boys, oth
erwise vigorous and strong, beware of
the contraction of their chests and
lungs. They ought to try setting up
exercises as a regular outlino.
3. Bicycle riders ought to beware of
ecorchlng and racingi and of long and
tedious rides across country. Ride In
moderation.
4. Take care of the teeth and look
Bfter them early and persistently.

C. E. Daniels Elected President.
Interesting Entertainment by Lo
cal Talent Insttuctiona Concern
ing State Convention at Harrlsburg
in October Ambition and Ideals
of the Young People to Be En
couraged Next Yenr's Reunion.
A large number of cars and a few
people left on the early excursion
tialn to Farvlew yesterday morning
to attend the five-county Christian En
deavor convention. The ride ovet tho
Gravity was beautiful beyond descrip
tion, the rain of the night before hav
ing banlrhed nil dust nnd given a de
lightful freshness to the air.
At F.arview the utmost clearness of
thetmosphTo prevailed and the view
distant nnd near was never seen with
more wonderful effect.
A very large number of Christian
Endeavor societies were represented
cnl many clergymen were In atten
dance. The large pavilion was filled
with listeners most of the dav, al
though the tegular programme did not
begin until afternoon. Mr. Hlgglns, ot
the Rescue Mission, and Mr. Wilson,
the evangelist, affoided much pleasure
with tholr tinging.
Among tho clorgvmpn prcont wero
Rev. J. P. Moffatt, Revs D. D. Jenkins
and A. J. Ciane, nlondale, French,
of Thompson' Harford, of West Lenox:
W. A Beecher, Archibald; Roderick,
J. J. Rankin, of Haw ley: Grow, ot
Raw lings, Susquehanna; Rev. S. D.
Wateilurv, Nicholson. Among the
pleasant foatuies of the occasion was
the gtaplnphono enteitalnment given
hi Mr. Charles H. Chandler, of this
city.
OFFICERS CHOSEN.
After a pinjer and praise service, J.
C Manning piobldlng, the following of
ficers were elctod: President, C. E.
Daniels, of Scranton: vice president.
Rev. S D. "Waterlnuy, of Nicholson;
secretary, J, C. Manning, Plttston;
treasuicr, Ralph Little esq. Mcshop
pen; executive committee. Miss Mar
gaiet Morgan, Wllkes-Bane- C. II.
Chandler, Scranton; John T Ball,
Honesdalo; Alfred Bow ell, Herrlck.
Rev. S C Hodge, Tunkhannock. It
was alo voted to hold next year's re
union at Mountain Park.
Rev. Dr. George B Stewart, of Mar
ket Square Presbyterian church, Har
rlsburg. formeily piesidont of the
state union, was pleasantly Introduced
by Mr. Manning and was greeted with
a Chautauqua salute. He began his
address by a cordial invitation to the
Kndeavoters of the five counties to at
tend the state convention in Hauls
burg1 on Oct. 4, 5 and 6 and was so
enthusiastic legardlng what tho Har
risburg people expect to do for the
5,000 -visitors that he created a re
newed deslie to attend that great
event
Dr. Stewart then gave a brilliant ad
dress. He spoke of the time whn
meetings of this sort were considered
a n"vv thing, when people were asking
what the Christian Endeavor was It
is not bo long ago when no such plans
were made for the eate and training of
the voung. Speaking for "edification"
usxl to be heard frequently nnd it
burely frightened the youth of the
chinch, which has finally awakened
tq tho idea that obligations rest upon
her toward the voung people. He
then desciibed the tuocess directed
tow aid holding them in the church:
fiom the erude early efforts to the
latPi-and mote peifpctcd methods. At
last It was realized that instead of
getting a hold on the young people
th.' plan should be to get the oung
People hold of the church. The icsult
Is that the Endeavor society is repre
sented In every land on eaith except
In IUusld.
MISSION WORK.
He spoke of the great amount of
money lalsed by the voung people for
home and foreign missions. AVh!l3
they havents er.v much money, they
are giving liberally. Thev are eyes
and oars and hands and feet to the
past,or.
While they often havo to be man
aged with bklll, as a team of mettlo
bomea:olts, yet there is exhllaiatlon In
managing them. If they sometimes get
the minister into tumble they aro tho
swiftest to help him out. The realiza
tion that they have great responsibil
ity In ti work Will have excellent ef
fect. As a rule they do more than the older
members. He paid a high tribute to
the loyalty and faithfulness of tho En
deavorers. He believed In having
Ideals. It is a grand thing for a young
man to get ambition in his heait. In
the Christian Endeavor woik the lead
ers ate trying to bring befote the joung
people the thought that nothing but
tho best is good enough with teference
to their obligations tow aid God and
their fellow-men.
In conclusion, he called attention to
the main idea, that of duty. It is one
of tho great master words In life. The
same conception of duty that calls men
to the field, the sea and the camp Is
calling our joung people from their
self-centered lives to a woik of devo
tion At the conclusion of his talk the large
audience rose and bang "'America.'
after which Rev. Mr. Grow pronounced
tho benediction.
Tho oxcuislonlsts In general left the
giounds at 4.18, Just as a sort of cyclono
camo along, nnd as the open cars on
tho gravity are unprovided with cur
tains or protection of any sort, the con
dition of thobe picnickers was wretched
long beforo they reached Carbondale.
The lalns descended and the floods
came and beat upon their defenseless
heads, or, rather, their summer hats
and their light attire, and sreat was
the devastation theieof,
DRENCHED WITH RAIN
Women who had gone thither In
stunning white gowns looked like
drowned ducks. Men who wore pretty
lavender trousers or Immaculate linen
suits were simply sights. One person,
who was arrayed In nil the glory of a
handsome black grenadine, with a red
lining, created a genuine sensation
when she landed at tho Scranton sta
tion That led lining had "run"
Whether It had entliely dissolved was
a mystery to the startled spectators.
At any rate It was not there Just then,
byt her white skirt was a wonderful
picture of what a bright red lining can
do when It really makes up Its mind
to "run."
Dr. Stewart returned with the watery
party as far as Carbondale, where he
was to be.accompanled by E. W. Burr,
esq , ot Carbondale, and T. F, Welles,
esq , of this city, to Preston Park
Lodge, where they expected to spend
the night.

THE FLOOR WENT DOWN.
Thice of Megargee Brothers' Em
ployes Left the Building a Few
Moments Before.
Not a little excitement and fright
was caused about 12 o'clock yesteiday
by a thundering clash In the rear part
of the ground floot of the Keystone
building on Spruce street, opposite tho
court house A paitltlnn divided tho
ground floor into two largo apait
ments, tho rear being used by Megar
gee Brothers, large paper film for a
store room.
Clouds of dust followed tho crash
which Jarred all the buildings In tho
vicinity. A huuled investigation
showed that twenty of the one hundred
tons of naper stoied In tho room had
fallen with the floor near tho paitl
tlon Into tho rellai. About three min
utes earlier several of the firm's men,
who wore engaged In btoiing goods
there, left the place and possibly es
caped death.
One of the men at the time of the
clash stood talking with Bernard Me
gargee, In the rear of the Aim's main
storo on Washington avenue, where the
tear door Is but a step from the tear
door of the Spruce stieet building, and
was telling him that the owners of the
latter structuie had not sufficiently
braced the floor. The man had Jiibt
remarked that it was unsafe when the
floor went down.
Within a few days two hundred tons
of paper would have been stored there.
The building Is owned by C. P. Dav
idson and A. D Dean It is rented by
their agent, George B Davidson, As
soon as he was Informed of the acci
dent, Mr Davidson summoned Build
ing Inspectoi Nelson. He examined
tho construction of the building and
pronounced it ordinary, but strong en
ough for usual store purposes He es
timated that the floor collapsed under
a load of about 500 pounds to the
square foot.

A Novel Piano Contest.
Of all voting contests, perhaps the
most original Idea is the one adopted
by Perry Brothers, who will give to
the school, church, society, hospital or
any other institution receiving tho
greatest number of votes up to Jan. 1,
1899, a lino Ludwig Piano. The nov
elty lies In tho vote, which will consist
of any advertisement or reading no
tice, unless otherwise mentioned, which
contains the name Perry Brothers.
This notice, for Instance, would be ao
cepted as one vote. As Perry Brothers
advertise In all the Scranton papers,
no doubt the vote will bo very largo
and It offers great opportunities for
all societies, schools, etc., to take part
with gooc' chances of success. The
prize offered Is ono of the best Ludwig
make. Tho contest Is open to any or
ganization in this vicinity. Full In
formation will be glvon at Perry Broth
ers' stoie, 205 Wryomlng avenue, where
the votes will be deposited nnd where
a bulletin will be posted showing the
standing of tho contestants.
