rp THE SCR ANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1898. ! RELIGIOUS. Hov. J. 1C Pock, archivist of the Wyoming M. F,. Conference Historical society, 1ms latently added pome val uable rellrs to the collection which is kept In the room of the society In Nelson Hall of Wyoming Seinltinry The ministers of the conference lmvo contilbntril ninny rare lion1ti nnd cu riosities, most nf which pertain to the BtriiRBlea of i.irly Methodism. As the Wyoming Valley was the first section of this country west of the Hudson river to give support to the teachings of Wei-ley, It is eminently proper thut Fome place should he Fpeclnlly vet aside In this locality to preserve tho mementoes of the efforts thoe ently Methodists put forth to establish Christianity In the wilderness. Tho confeience nas done n worthy thing In establishing n historical ho elety and all who are Interested In the church aio asked to lend fielr sup pott. Itov. Mr. Lake takes great interest In the work and as a ii"ult of his dili gent research has succeeded In ob taining ninny valuable articles. Ho has recently rearranged the rooms and Improved the appearance considerably. The library o the society consists of quite a large number of old volumes and periodicals and contains a num ber of vulunble manuscripts. These arc stored in old bookcases which be longed to itinerant ministers and were contributed to tne society by their de scendants. One of the most Interesting Is the eness of Oeborali Sutton lledford, 1 irn Feb. 8, 1771 rode on a wheelbar row from Luzerne hot ouch to Forty Fof. on tho lenlble July " 177S, wns In .ilie fort thiough th tragic scenes of those days, remembeicd them and told of them until her death, at OS years of i'ge. four years after Lee surrendered to Cirnnt at ppomutox. She was converted at 15 vears and joined the hist M. K. rocictv on Hos. JIIU in 17SS. This Is the only exact likeness known of, of any person who was at Forty Fott or. that traclc flay. The likeness Is a daguerreotype which was loaned to Itev. J. K. Peck by her grandson. Sterling Bedford, of Waverty, Pa. Another interesting article Is a clothes brush which was owned and used by Dr. Adam Clarke, the great commentator, who Is considered the profoundest thinker In Methodism lie lived and wiote in the time of Vesley. ' It wns originally owned bv Mrs 13. M. Powell, of England and In turn it fell into the bands of Mrs. H. Krigbaum, of 217 Chestnut street, Scranton, who presented it to the society. Cinders from the blacksmith shop of Annlng Owen, which was situated on th left side of the road, near tho Pcttbone rwitch in Dorranceton. Prayer meeting services were held "here as caily as 17SS. These cinders were collected by Kev, J. K. Peck on Nov. 23, 1S9J. One of the interesting curiosities Is tha original roll of tho Onedla annual conference, which held Us sessions In vbo Old Ship Zion, which stood on ubllc Square, Wllkes-B.arre, in 1S41. It was written by Sharp P. Lewis, who wns then editor of tho Wilkes-Darre Advocate. This was the conference which founded Wyoming Seminary. Tho list of ministers Is headed by Bishop W'.augh, who boarded with Zlba Bennett, and Bishop Heddlng, who bearded with Lord Butler, Another relic Is n piece of stone from the foundation of tho old Cap tain Parrlsh ho.uso on Boss Hill, where Annlng Owen held prayer ser vice and organized the first class, in the spring of 17'S, which was the first organisation north of Bnltlmore and west of Albany, N. Y. Here Wil liam Colbert preached on Sunday af ternoon, April 28, 1793, and Bishop Asbury preached on Wednesday, July 3, 1793. A bread basket, which wns used by some thrifty housewife more than 100 years ago, is on exhibition.

The work Is purtlculurly Interesting ut this time, deal ing ns it does with events thut have caused tho world to regaid tho American offspring of tho Anglo-Saxon race with admiration and nstonlshr. ent, and the author weaves Into a plcaulng narratlvo hts dream of tho Anglo-Saxon mllalice nf tho future. While not partlculaily pol ished from n lltorary point of vluw, tho style Is vigorous and the hero is given tho latitude for astounding deeds of vul jr that Is allowed In border drama und llt oratuie, and has a tendency to keep ntlvo tho tlamo of patriotism in tho breast of the reader. Tho Hubbell Publishing com pany, Cleveland, Ohio, It Is not often that u contilbutor to a mngazlno spends nvo millions or so of dollars In titling hlmeelf to wnto know ingly of a subject.

There covld bo no more convincing cvl dencoof Hudyard Kipling's unique position among mudern writers than tho hick of burprise at tho tremendous demand for his new book, "Tho Day'R Work." People Interested In literary matters seem to ciins!dt r It qulto in tho ordlnury courso of events that three largo odlttous of tho book should have been required to 1111 the tlrst orders. For a week after It appeared tho Doubleday fc McClure com pany wero unable to supply tho book sellers, ulthough they wero producing two thousand copies n day; nnd within two weeks of the publication a fourth edi tion, making In all twenty-tlvo thousand copies, had to be put on the press. Un doubtedly a portion of tho book's popu larity Is uttrlbutablo to the fnct that It shows no mony different sides of tho auth or's genius, containing as It docs stories of India, of machinery nnd of animals, no. sides two of Kipling's ruro luvo stories: "William tho Conqueror," and "Tno Brushwood Boy." Illchurd Harding Davis, who wus one ot the few war correspondents lo follow the army from Cuba lo Porto HIco, nnd who was with the advance from tho tlmo of landing until the close of hostilities, gives his Impressions of "Tho Porto Mean Campaign" for tho November Bcrlbner's. Ho pays high trlbuto to tho gencruls and troops who mndo the closing campaign ot tho war seem more llko a triumphal parade than nn uggresslvo ndvanco through an enemy's country, and shors that both tegulars and volunteers did tho work boforo them In a way to sntlity the most exacting military demands, 'lho article also gives a vivid and clear Im pression of tho country and people, nnd describes many picturesque, and iimuvlng Incidents that glvo Mr. Davis' work bo much human Interest.

Ills theories comeinlng tho elements ot Spanish character that led to their defeat, and clear statement of the strategical purposes of Admiral Ceriera in his et tempted flight from Santiago harbor aro both new and etpeclally interesting.
