RELIGIOUS.
The apneal Tor aid In behalf of tho
Bcranton Street Baptist church, which
was sent out yesterday, was mado In
tho following manner:
After halt a century of labor In the
work ot tho Lord, tho Klrst Hulitlat
church, of Bcranton, l'a., must stok tli.
unsltance of tho charitably disputed iiin
Chrlstlan pcoplo of this city.
On Sunday, January 'a, our tnuicn im
Tlco wan destrojed by tiro. Including In
the lobe, nearly tho ci.tlra contents
thereof.
Tho orcarlzatlon of this chinch was
made on Sunday, August 2ti, 1MJ, by Hev.
W. K. Mott. and this being tho llftloth
years of Its work, It wus tho earnest
prayerful wish of tho congregation to
closo Its Jublleo year with u church frto
from tho lncumbrarcc of debt.
Bvory effort was being put forth with
this end In lew, and with a fair outlook
for success, when our hopes were blasted
by tho disastrous llro of Sunday after
noon. Our congregation, composed of earnest
laborers In tho Blaster's work, Is not
over-freighted with tho matorlnl wealth
of this world. Heretofore, however, wo
have felt ablo to sustain tho burden of
our work. But tho sudden and completo
destruction of our "church homo" com
pels us to appeal for help, that wo may
go forth doing tho work lntd down for us,
rather than encounter, for cars, nn en
forced strugglo for exlstenco against an
almost overwhelming burden ot debt
May wo appeal to jour generosity to
assist ut at this most trying time? And
may God prosper you an hundred fold,
that which ou may consider In extend
Ing us jour assistance.
A committee authorized by the church
to bollclt subscriptions will call on ou at
an early date.
Signed by order of tho church
Hurt Cflpwcll, Church Clerk.
Tho appeal hns already met with
much favor, and the probabilities are
that generous lesponges will bo made
from evciy section ot the clt.
Superintendent George G Sanborn
will conduct the seivlco at the rtescue
mission Sunday evening at 8 o'clock.
The eighteenth anniversary ot the
Young Pcople'3 Society of Christian
Endeavor will be celebrated tomor
row evening at 7.30 o'clock In the I'rov
Ji.onte Presbyterlun church. The exer
ctoc arranged especially for the occa
sion by Amos It. Wells, of Boston, will

ture selections and i espouses, includes
a goodly number of hymns of bpecial
appropriateness. The choir of the
church will render selections of special
music and the pastor, Kev. Geoige T2.
Guild, will give a brief address. Tho
public Is Invited to this nnnlverfcaiy
session
Those who attended the Young "Wo
men's Christian nsvoclation convention
at Pittsburg came back gicatly pleas
ed with their visit. They alfeo assert
that they all returned with smudgy
visages and severe colds. They nro
used to Scrnnton dust anil dirt but they
couldn't seem to like tho wny which
Pittsburg dust has of leaving n long
sad streak on one's complexion. They
likewise arc not so madly enthusiastic
oor natural gas. As to comparing
with Seianton steam heat it doesn't
begin to be In the same class, fo say
these ladles. They feel deeply on the
subject for to the much extolled natu
lal gas of Pittsburg thej' attribute the
said colds. Only one other criticism
will you hear them make of the Smoky
City, nnd that Is tho way Its newspaper
men write p Young "Women's chris
tian association convention. Weird
nnd wonderful weie those reports, say
our delegates and while In past dnvs
they have been Inclined to marvel at
the way such things are done In Scran
ton they feel differently now, and are
disposed to gieet tho ubiquitous ic
porter with more effusiveness.
Mrs. I,. M. Gates, as state chalunan
of the Young Women's Christian asso
ciation, Is in great demand and her
fine abilities as a public speaker and
organizer of tho association vvoik is
more and more lecognized. Today
Mrs. Gates will go to Lancaster, vvhc-0
tomoirow sho will make the principal
address at a great meeting hold In tho
Interests of the association of that city.
A new building has just been purchas
ed at a cost of $11,000 which sum, It is
hoped will be all raised when they en-
MERIT MAKES IT FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in the World, Ex
cept a Surgical Operation, That
Will Certainly Cure Any
Form of Piles.
The study of physicians, the experi
ments of chemists, tha loudly adver.
Used pretensions of quacks, have been
ror years expended In one direction,
to find a pile cure that will cure.
The results have been a number of
harmless, and In most cases useless
ointments, suppositories and even In
ternal remedies, which the public have
weighed In the balance of experience
nnd found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing approach
ing a radical cure resulted from thase
preparations.
The remedy required Is one that Im
mediately stops tho pain so severe In
most caees of piles, and then by con
tracting1 tho small blood vessels (capil
laries) to their normal size, produces
,a radical cure by reducing and finally
absorbing the tumors and healing the
Inflamed, raw mucous surfaces,
fJntll two years ago, no such remedy
had been produced, but at that time
suppository waa placed upon tho
market, which has blnce proven Itself
to be tho long sought permanent cure
for this common and distressing trouble
It has rapidly becomo famous through
out the United States and Canada, and
Is now sold by nearly all druggists un
der the name of tho Pyramid Pile Cure.
It la now the best known, because Its
merit and safety have advertised It
wherever used. It has teen advertised
by word of mouth, from one sufferer to
mother; people who had tried every
thing else, even submitting to painful
mil dangerous surgical operation with
JUt avail finally have found that piles
may be cured without pain and without
expense, practically, an the Pyramid
Pile Cure Is sold for the nominal price
of 60 cents and $1.00 per package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain
tnd at tho same time contain no cocaine
Morphine or narcotics; the acids and
healing properties contained in the re
medy speedily remove, cause a health
ful, natural contraction and absorption
f tumors; It will cure any foim of
rectal trouble except cancer and ad
vanced fistula, which by the way,
nearly always rwmit from neglecting
proper and timely treatment for piles.
As above atoted, can furnish you with
the Pyramid Pile Cure at CO cents for
ordinary plze or 11.00 for largo package.

The Intmest exhibited In nnd attend
ance at the Lyceum meetings for men
has been beyond the expectations of
thoso in charge. Tho general secre
tary's report for the month of Januav
shows that the total attendance for
the month waa 3,400; an average of C'S
or, excluding the first meeting when
the Intense cold kept ninny away, an
average of 775 for each Sunday. The
total attendance at the after-meetings
was CGI, and In connection with these
and other services held during the
month by the association workers,
twenty-seven persons have decided to
live a Christian lite. What this means
to some of the6e men is simply wonder
ful. Those who havo heard their life
story and can note the change which
already manifests itself In their JIvps,
can better appreciate It.
Bauer's military band will give the
second concert of sacied selections in
the scries tomorrow at 3.43 p. m. The
band was engaged to render this sei
vlce in connection wltn the meetings
and the selections for tomorrow will

"At the age of twenty, after a sctcre sickness, I wis left with weak lungs, a terrible cough, and nearly all the symptoms of
consumption. My doctor had no hope of my recovery; but, having read the advertisements of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, I determined
to try that preparation. I did so, and since that time I have usrd no other cough medicine. I am now seventy-two years old,
and I know that at least fifty vcars have been added to my life by this incomparable preparation."
A. W. SPERRV, Plainfield, N. J.
"I hate used Ajcr's Cherry Pectoral for nearly fifty j ears, and found it to be an excellent remedy for all bronchial and
throat diseases." L. II. MATHEWS, Editor Neivs-Dispatci, Oneonta, Ala.
"My first remembrance of Ajcr's Cherry Pectoral dates hick thirty-six years, when my mother used it for colds, coughs,
croup, and sore thrott. She used no other medicine in attacks of tint sort among her children, and it netcr failed to bring prompt
relief and cure. I always keep this medicine in the house, and a few doei quickly check all colds, coughs, or any inflammation of
the throat and lungs." ' J. O'DONNELL, Seattle, Wash.
"I have sold Ayer's medicines for forty-five years. I know of no preparation tint equals Ayer's Cherry Pectonl for the cure
of bronchitis. It netcr fails to give prompt relief." C. L. SHERWOOD, Druggist, Dotvagiac, Mich.
"I hate used Ayer's Cherry Pectoral both in my family and practice, and consider it one of the best of its class for la grippe,
colds, coughs, bronchitis, and consumption in its early snges." W. A. WRIGHT, M.D., Harnesville, Ga.
"Some years ago Ayer's Cherry Pectoral cured me of the asthma after the best medical skill hid failed to give me relief."
