ABLE ADDRESS OF
MRS. L. M. GATES
DELIVERED BEFORE STATE Y.
W. C. A. CONVENTION.
Gave an Interesting Itoviow of tho
Work Done by theJ3tato Associa
tion During tho Yoar nnd Outlined
Some Plans for tho Future The
Important Recommendations She
Makes with Roforenco to the Fu
turo Work of Association Asks
Loyal Support.
Following Is the very able address
read by Mrs. L. M. Gates, of this city,
president of the Young Womtm'u
Christian association of Pennsylvania,
before the state convention which is
now In session at Pittsburg:
Tho stato executive committee has had
Us regular monthly meetings for business
with special meetings for pruyer or extra
work. Wo have lost ono member by
death, Mrs. I. P. Kverhart, who for sev
eral years "had an Intelligent and enthu
siastic Interest In the Young Womenrf
Christian association.
Miss Hrooks, our much-loved college
secretary, was not able to contlnuo tho
work this year, and Mrs. N. A. Lowry
was asked to assist In collect) visitation.
Miss Dunn gave a few weeks of gratui
tous service, but finding herself unable to
bo on tho Held thought best to sever her
connection with tho stato work. The
burden of the work has been borne by
Miss Kmmu Hays, who has proved her
self a most elllelent state secretary, but
m.w feels It her duty to resign lo take up
the work III Pittsburg to which she has
been called
The chairman l-.ns had the privilege of
visiting three of tho associations and
speaking In one unorganized place and
firt-1 sting In the organization of one.
branch. Tho committee has published
1.5U0 prayer calendnrs and Issued mem
bership ccrtlllcates to nil associations be
longing to the state association, sent out
the annual report nnd adopted a consti
tution for association circles In small
places.
Pour mere collego associations have
been organized, Darlington seminary,
Hlalrsvlllo college, Pennsylvania College
for Women nnd Dickinson seminary,
Wllliamsport, and a new association cir
cle at Kdwardsvlllo and a new branch
In Scranton.
Till: CITY ASSOCIATIONS.
Wo have now eight city associations, of
which three, havo branches. The total
membership Is 3,'CS, an lncieaso of 1.S4J
over last years report. An encouraging
feature is tho Increased number of main
taining members In some of the associa
tions, showing tho lnterst taken by the
women of the city and assuring a regu
lar source of support.
There are l,fT,4 of the members working
on committees, a large torce of women
training for futuro active service In the
church as well as being of positive pres
ent benellt. Tho work for which these
women havo banded themselves together
Is shown In the reports of the various de
partments of the associations.
Ono thousand, live hundred and fifty
four young women are In educational
classes, and 4JS in Industilal classes. Our
wjrk Is practical nnd touches the per
sonal lives and homes of girls. That
this Is felt by tho writers Is tvulcnt from
their reports of plans, llarrlsburg pro
poses to havo a cooking department in
their new building. Heading has just
opened one, Wllkes-Barre considers their
"scries of cooking lessons a most suc
cessful feature of last year's work," Lan
caster found their "sewing class very
popular," York lias her classes for sewing
and knitting, South Pittsburg, her
kitchen garden, while Pittsburg, our larg
est association, shows a model in its
teaching of domestic science.
PHYSICAL TKAINING.
Phydcal training is not neglected In our
association. We claim to try to meet
I the needs of young women in their phy-Jl-1
eal, mental and spiritual development.
md so It Is a part of our work to give
opportunity for training of tho body by
wisely directed exercise. Eight of the
associations have gymnastic classes, in
which over 40) girls are gaining strength.
This is a larger number than last year,
and other associations and branches are
hoping to have such advantages soon.
TUB OUTING CLUBS.
Considerable Interest has been shown
this year In outing clubs that combine
pleasure and exercise In a most helptul
way. Nearly every association had some
plan by which girls could gain healthful
outdoor recreation under favorable cir
cumstances nnd good Influence, Lancas
ter and Heading had tennis courts; Scran
ton had picnics In the woods anil bicycle
runs; Wilkes-Uarre, days nt country
homes, and other associations other ways
of making happy holidays for girls shut
In by city walls and routine work,
Connected with this summer outing idea
Is tho larger thought of rest cottages.
Por several years Harrlsburg, through
the kindness of a friend, has had tho use
of a country home for association mem
bers; Scranton, since Its organization,
has always planned for homelike board
ing places fcr girls, at low rates, at the
seashore or in the country; this summer
a trlend gavo them tho privilege of a
cottage In the mountains for a month.
Lancaster association hired a cottage for
tho special use of their association girls.
So in these various ways HO young wo
men found restful acatlons.
Tho movement toward permanent
homes for city associations Is ono of tho
noticeable things In our history this vear.
In February, after a six months' canvass,
tho Harrlsburg association enterd their

AN OUT OF THE WAY FLAOE
Way a Pittsburg Lawyer Referred to
Wilkca-Barro.
At a meeting of the executive com
mittee of the State Par Association
held a few days ago In Philadelphia, It
was decided to hold the next conven
tion of the Association In Wilkes
Parre. There was u hot light lmfore
this result was hroucht about. Ono
man from Pittsburg tibjeutet to
Wllkes-Harre, Hnd slid he was tired
of tho propositions always coming up,
to hold the statu convention In "out
of tho way places.
The convention will tal placo July
6 olid 7. There will be two ttayn glwn
up to business and the affair will wind
up with a banquet. At these conven
tions important questions are dis
cussed bearing on the prospective leg
islation and Improvements In tha state
law code. At tho AVIlkes-Ilanre con
vention William B. llornbloiver. of
New York, lately a candidate tor chief
Justice of the United States supronid
court, and tho well known Now York
lawyer, Daniel A. AV'lfle, will be speak
ers. There will be between four and
five hundred delegates present.
TO MOVE THE HOSPITAL.
Hahnemann Will Soon Occupy the
Old W. W. Scranton Residence
at Monro o Avenuo and
Linden Street.
The Hahnemann hospital is to move
from its present location in the Blair
homestead to the building at the cor
ner of Monroe avenuo nnd Linden
street, owned by W. W. Scranton, nnd
formerly occupied by him as a resi
dence. The change will be made ut
once.
The new homo for the hospital Is
an eighteen room building, richly fin
ished, Interlorally, admirably located
and in every way desirable for the
purposes to which it Is to be put. Th.
plot on which it is located is an acie
in extent.
The property for which W. T. Hack
ett Is agent, was on the market for
$40,000. If the expected state aid
Is forthcoming the hospital directors
will purchase this nlace outright. At
present it will be leased by the year.
The Plalr property Is being consid
ered as a site for tho new Y. M. C. A.
building, but for fear a wrong Impres
sion might be gained from this state
ment it Is well to add that this had
nothing whatever to do witli tho hos
pital's change of quarters.
INVESTIGATION IS ASKED.
Mine Inspector Requests the Coroner
to Hold an Inquest.
Mine Inspector Henry O. Prytherch,
of the Second Anthracite district, yes
terday requested Coroner J. J. Itoberts
to make an ofllclal investigation into
the death of James Sullivan, the young
man who died last Thursday at the
Lackawanna hospital as a result of
scalds received at the Taylor culm
washery Monday night.
In accordance with the request. Cor
oner Itoberts went to the residence of
the deceased on Taylor street, In Tay
lor and empanelled a Jury comprising
the following: Iluher Frutchey. Thos.
Hesslon. Wesley Fetzlnger, William
Nyhart. Charles Davis and David J.
Jones. Th jury viewed the remains
and will meet next Wednesday evening
In the arbitration room at the court
house.
The young man, who was one of two
firemen emplcyed at the Carson &
Davles' culm washery In Taylor, was
severely scalded In attempting to ad
lust the ball which governs tho steam
safety valve on tho boilers. The es
cape was popping at the time and when
young Sullivan lifted the ball the pres
sure blew the vnlvo check out und the
escaping steam literally roasted him.
BRIDEGROOM IS STILL MISSING
Nothing Whatever Has Been Heard
of His Whereabouts.
Nothing was heard yesterday of the
whereabouts of Pius Sweeney, thu
missing Providence bridegroom. Miss
Moran, his Intended bride, says she has
heard nothing from him and is at a
loss to explain his absence.
Jlr. Sweeney's brother has conducted
a rigid search for the missing man,
but his quest has been unsuccessful.
A report that Sweeney had gone to
Colorado gained credence in the North
End last night. Information to this
effect is attributed to a young man
who Is Intimately acquainted with
Sweeney,

INCENDIARY CAUSES
GREEN RIDGE FIRE
OAKLEY'S CASKET WORKS AND
MILL TOTALLY DESTROYED.
Flames Spread to a Dwelling Owned
by P. W. Ripley, on Elmot Stroot,
and It Was Durnod Loss on tho
Mill Is $15,000, with No Insur
ance Only $400 Insurance on tho
Dwelling, Which Was Valuod at
$1,500 Dunmoro Department and
Companies from Scranton's North
End Firo District Fought the Fire.
An incendiary Is thought to havo
started a fire which destroyed Oakley's
casket works and planing mill nnd a
dwelling on Madison avenue, Green
Uldge, early last evening.
Tho Are companies of Dunmore and
several of the companies of Scranton's
North End fire district responded to
the double nliirm from Box 15, Dun
more, nnd Pox C3, Scranton. L. M,
Bennett, a driver for Proprietor Oak
ley, of the casket works, discovered tho
blaze while going to the stable to care
for his horses.
The lire started In the centre of tho
mill and quickly ate Its way out
through the top. The Neptune, Inde
pendent and Smith companies, of Dun
more, and the Liberty, Niagara and
General Phlnney companies, of Scran
ton, were quickly on the scene, but
owing to the low pressure on the water
mains the tire could not be controlled.
The Humes quickly spread to a two
story frame dwelllnj on Elmot street,
owned by P. W. ltlpley and occupied
by E. L. Keene nnd Edward Wilmarth,
a carpenter. The lire was so fierce that
only a portion of the household goods
could be saved. The dwellings of Mr.
Oakley, on Madison avenue, nnd the
ones owned and occupied by P. W. ltlp
ley and John Hoodwln were In great
danger Irani the Haines and sparks,
but sections oi small hose were taken
onto t'"' roofs nnd by this means the
buildings w.ie saved.
Foreman Victor Hurschel, of the In
dependents, received a severe fall while
trying to cet the hose on the porch
roof of the house occupied by E. L.
Kecne. He slipped nnd fell off tho roof.
He was taken to his home, where a
physician was called, but found no
bones broken and no Internal Injuries.
No fire had been maintained In the
mill for over a week. A week ago the
boiler In the works exploded and the
wreckage was taken out the next day.
The mill was then shut down. What
makes It seem more probable that an
Incendiary caused tho blaze is the fact
that the mill of George Bingham was
broken Into last Sunday night and a
fire started, but It was discovered by
the watchman in time to prevent any
damage.
Mr. Oakley's loss will be about $15,000
on the mill and machinery and many
valuable piles of lumber. He has no
insurance.
Mr. Ripley's loss is $1,600 and his In
surance $400.
Mr. Keene and Mr. Wllmarth's loss
will be about $125 each.
