SPOKE ON MISSIONARY WORK.
Address of Mrs. Bennett in the First
Presbyterian Church.
A largo number of ladles gathered
In the First Presbyterian church par
lors yesterday nt the missionary meet
ing, to which the societies of thu city
had been Invited. .Mrs. .Tomes McLeod
presided, Miss lllchmonil read the sec
retary's report and Mrs. C. It. Fuller
gave the report of the treasurer.
A feature of the afternoon was a polo
by Mrs. George du Hols DImmIck,
whoso lovclv voice Is heiird far too
seldom by the multitude of those with
whom she has so Ions been a favorite.
Sho sang with finished taste and chnrm
"Hear Us, O Father."
Mrs. licnnett, who was formerly so
well known us Miss Jones, wns grace
fully Introduced by Mrs. MoLcod. She
spoke from the passages "They helped
every one each other," "Be of good
cheer." It has been but little more
than twenty-two years," she said,
"since the Prchytcrlan women were
told nt a meeting In Pittsburg that
they might do some little work for the
church. Today one hundred and twenty-four
mission stations belong to the
women." .She spoke of the Mormon
question, and gave It ns her opinion
that If the Women's rtonrd of Home
Missions had not taken up the matter
with stick thorough knowledge, such
method and determination, without
that organization, W. H. Roberts
would have been sonted in congress.
Yet the opportunities which are not
grasped aro sometimes appalling. If
a missionary had to reach everybody
who needs to bo helped the outlook
would be discouraging Indeed. The
missionary worker reaches fow, but
the lecord of her influence cannot thin
be circumscribed. Illustrations were
given in experience with the Ncz
l'etet?. No liquors sold on the reser
vation, this Is true, but wagon loads
cf liquor lyilt Just across the border
line und on the semi-annual pay days
the money given for the support of
the Indian families for the next six
months is spent In a fow hours at
these perambulating saloons.
She then spoke of the work of Miss
Macbeth and her wonderful work In
this tribe. Sho reached but a few a
child, n mother, an Indian mm nov
and then, but the inlltiencc goes out
through these solitary Christians -ind
Is wide-reading Indeed. Mrs. Bennett
gave many Incidents relating to work
among the Indians In the home Held.
They make of themselves missionaries
to their own people. The Indian wo
men walK five and six miles nnd mor1,
carrying one baby on their backs and
another In the arms to attend the mis
sionary meetings. Here nt homo wo
often think It too much trouble to
dress and walk a few rods to attend
one.
Mrs. Bennett Is a rapid, pleasant
speaker, and Is so full of her subject
that sho engages the most Interested
attention.
ELKS WERE DEFEATED.
Result of the Bowling on Backus
Alleys Last Night.
The bowling match on the Backus
alleys between the Backus nnd ISIk
teams last evening proved a big bc
prise to neatly all the parties con
cerned. The Elks have been popularly
considered the strongest of tins loe.M
teams, but their showing 'ait night
wns decidedly poor, while their oppon
ents, on the contrary, bowled a vciy
fine game.
The Elks were unable to secure a
game, being defeated In th- three
matches plajvd. Weber, of the Back
us team, carried olf the evening's hon
ors with a high score of 192 nnd nn
average of 171. Chailes Welchol was
the high Elk with 178, and aHo led his
side in averages with 1C;! l-:i. The do

THESb LECIURERS
SAID SOMETHING
THEY, HOWEVER, HAD A RE
ORETABLY SMALL AUDIENCE.
Under the Auspices of the Houser
hold Economics Secticn of the
Green Ridgo Women's Club, Col
onel Morso and Mr. Wingntc, Two
of New York's Celebrated Engi
neers, Interestingly Discuss Prac
tical Sanitation and Point Out II?w
Scrnnton Can Be Impioved Effec
tually and Cheaply.
It Is to bo deeply regretted that less
than half u bundled persons attended
the lectures given by Colonel W. F.
Morso and Charles F. Wlngate, of New
Yoik, given last night at the board of
trade assembly room under tho auspi
ces of the household economics section
of thu Green Bldgo Women's club.
Tlieio Hero two houis of solid informa
tion of which many should have tnken
advantage, especially those for whom
It was moro olrectly Intended.
Colonel Morso lectured on "Munici
pal Sanitation." Two city olllclals
heard him. Mr. Wlngate, reputed to
be tho leading smltarlan of thu coun
try, dealt with "What Every One
Should Know About Household Sani
tation." Few women outside of the
members of tho club woie piesent to
avail thcinsehes of this knowledge.
Mayor Molr, who presided lit tho
meeting, expressed himself as almost
disgusted at the meagre attendance.
Tho two distinguished englnecis glvu
up two days of their time, undertake
ten hours travel and go to the tiouhlo
of prepailn.; addresses based on a per
sonal dlagnusls of the city's ailments
ond then fur their "thank you" Job
aro repaid with a very uncomplimen
tary audience, in the matter of size.
It was rather unencournglng to tho
members of the women's club, too, as
this was their most pretentious effort
along their line of wotk.
It was especially desirable, the may
or said, that tho city fatheis should
have attended tho lectures. The pro
found ignorance of the principles of
.sanitary science that prevails Is most
lemarkable, he wald. The city fath
ers, lm added, do not know Its A, H C.
Sanitation has made London one of the
most healthy, If not thu most healthy,
of the big cities, the mayor pointed
out. It has reduced thu death rate
from eighty in a thousand to twenty
two In a thousand. Ills honor also
paid a high compliment to tho work
the Women's club has done and Is do
ing, and assured them of his hearty co
operation. COLONEL MOUSE'S LECTURE.
Colonel Morse's lecturu was made
especially InteroMln;; from t: i fact
he localised It In a large measure.
Dealing with tho sewnge question
ho pointed out tho fact that many
stfites have forbidden tae dumping of
sewage Into i tinning streams; that
Pennsylvania Is about to pass a simi
lar law and that when It does peran
ton will h" confronted with the prob
lem of lln ling something to substitute
for the Lackawanna liver as a sewage
receiver.
Of the vailous means of meeting this
omo! gency ho considered the scheme
used at the World's Fair to bo the
best nnd cheapest, 'f.ie sewage Is car
ried into large ta.ihs by a pro"ecs of
chemical pieelpltatlon, tho water Is
separated from the deleterious mnttor
and can be run off Into tho river, for
It Is no longer a pollution. The icslduo
Is solidified and can bo burned In a
ci dilatory without giving the least san
itary olfense. The ashes make a most
ex. client fertilizer.
The absence oi any system of gar
bage collection In this cltv wa3 tho
object of some attention from Colonel
Morse. He figured, by using statistics,
that the householders of this city spend
fioni $;o,000 to SGO.OOO a year for hav
ing gaibage. lefuse and ashes carted
away. In twenty cities where this
work Is done by tho city through a con
tractor the cost per capita is IS cents
a year. In a dozen laigo cities that
do the woik themselves tho cost Is 22
cents. Applying this to Scranton, a
saving could be made every vear of
from MO.000 to $40,000, or more than
half, nnd tho work would not bo so
imperfectly done us at present. At
thl.n juncture he commented on ash
piles containing putrefying matter,
which he saw in many localities while
being shown about the city yesterday.
Thu plan of dealing with refuse
brought to this country from Buda
Pesth by the late Colonel Wailug, of
New York, Is sure to be generally
adopted. Colonel Morse predicted. This
scheme Is to have tho refuse I 'it sep
aiate from the garbage by providing
separate icceptaeles to tho household
ers. The refuse Is dumped on a wide mov
ing strip of canvass and twenty or
thirty men on either side of It pick
from It everything that may bu inadu
use of, such ns paper, lags, glass
bottles, metal of any description, and
so on.
CAN BE MARKETED.
Each man looks out for a different
tort of article and as he picks It up hi
packs It in n case or crate by his side,
ready to bo shipped to maiket. Ex
periments In Boston showed that sixty
per cent, of the city's refuse could be
maikoted. A contiaetor In ono district
In New Yoik pays the city for tho privi
lege of disposing of its lofiisp. Thi

Plant Is utilized as fuel and without a
pound of other kind of fuel makes
steam enough to fun a dynamo which
operates nnd Illumines tho refuse plant,
nnd after furnishing a draught to nld
combustion, still has a ..surplus of
steam.
"If vou will give mo your city's
refuse free, I will light your city free,"
said Colonel Moire.
Tho question of water nnd food In
spection and tho duty of boards of
health to rigidly enforce tho health
laws were also touched upon.
Mr. Wlngate devoted his attention
mainly to "dampness." Soil, be ex
plained, Is a mass of molecules. Tako
a glass filled with shot and see whnt a
largo amount of water can bo poured
IntnR. This space is In the soil In Ilka
manner. Thiow some water on the
ground and It disappears. Gradually It
wotks Its way to hard pan, or bod rock,
and settles. Tho stagnation Is fol
lowed by n contamination of tho air In
the soil above It. A shower conies,
soaks Into the ground, displaces this
air, forces It up and out of the ground
and then you get your diseases.
New York city's engineering depart
ment has a topographlcul map Knowing
where swamps have been filled In nnd
water courses covered over. Tho board
of health has a map with black blocks
on It, showing where epidemics have
raged repentedly. By Inylng one map
on top of the other, tho black blocks on
tho board of health ninp and tho
"damp" sections on tho engineer's map
will bo found to correspond.
DRAIN THE SOIL.
"Drain your soli," said Mr. Wlngatt,
w Ith emphasis. "Drain your soil. It is
tho first, last nnd most Important
thing." Ho could go blindfolded, he
said, through this city nnd pick out
flic portions where epidemics aro wont
to originate. Depiesed places without
seweis can't be healthful. Ho had ex
amined into our system of sewers and
looked through thf plans City Engineer
Fhlllltis has under way for extending
and Impiovlng them, and ho found
enough to convince him that ourj en
gineer Is all right. "Just sustain nnd
stimulate him," Mr. Wlngate added.
Ho then .save a number of practical
suggestions for cnilng for Interior
Plumbing, pointing out where dangers
lurk nnd telling how to avoid or re
move these dangers. Briefly stated, his
advice was, spare not eternal vigilance,
elbow grease and time, and always
have your plumbing done by tho best
plumber, ns there Is no such thing as
a cheap plumber. Ho also very em
phatically pointed out the danger of
dNoaso contagion from sweat shop
clothing, and advised mothers to look
for tho union label when buying this
class of manufactured goods.
In concluding, he said: "Fool men
have been building houses for 6,000
vears and they haven't built a gnol
ono yet. Wo won't have a perfect houso
until wp have women as our architects.
A woman has a nose for 'smells,' the
more pronounced tendency to cleanli
ness, and a mother's Instinct for the
caru of health. The hope of the future
Is In tho women." ,
Mavor Molr, In clorlng tho meeting,
assured the visitors that tho city of
Scranton could be relied upon to do
anything within icason that ought to
bo done.
MEETING OF COUNCILS.
Matters Pertaining to Opening of
Wyoming Avenue Acted Upon.

tion also confirms the title to a plecti

During tho week there has been a
decided Incieaso of Interest In Tues
day's city election. Tho work of tho
committee that Is boomltm the viaduct
project Is In part responsible for this.
They have gone at thu tnsk In real
earnest nnd aro sureadlng broadcast
their argument In fnvor of the con
struction of the much needed over

wanna . sslng. The oppo
nents of .sure have not been
Idle, hnwo.i. They have Bundled
themselves with a variety of plucarda
requesting the voters not to Increase
the city debt and not to do a number
of other things the doing of which
would bo calculated to help tho via
duct proposition.
Llttlo Is heard of the proposition to
Increase tho city's Indebtedness for
the purpose of constructing rfewers.
On account of Its general character It
Is expected to meet with favor. Tho
waul fights nro progressing with vim
nnd energy. In some instances the
contests mo extremely heated. Tho
warmest fights nro being waged In tho
Third, Fifth nnd Fifteenth ward, whtlo
i In tho Second. Sixth, Seventh, Elev

teresting battles aro also In progress.
There will be no dearth of candidates
for tho legislature In any of tho four
districts of the county, Judging from
the crop that wan brought forth pub
licly within the forty-eight hours fol
lowing the printing of the call for tho
first of the dlstilct conventions, that
of the Second district, which appeared
In Wednesday morning's papers. This
nnd that man had been, now and then,
talked of as a possible or probable
candldnte during the past few months
but It remained for the announcement
that convention time was at hand to
bring out definitely those who were to
be considered full fledged aspirants.
The four present representatives
with one accord either personally or
through their close friends gave It to
'be understood, whenever and wher
ever lti was deemed desirable that such
understanding should prevail that they
were seeking re-election and tucking
It very much In earnest.
In the First district. Hon. John R.
Farr has served notice that he will
run again and Is putting forth the
argument that having obtained some
influence, as Is evidenced by his hav
ing been elected speaker, it follows
that ho can be of more value to the
dlstilct than a beginner and that the
dlstilct could do worse than returning
him for another term.
M. E. Sanders, who was a candidate
four years ago against Mr. Farr, nnd
who had been suggested ns a eultablo
candidate from North Scranton to
again combat with Mr. Farr for tho
legislative honors, has decided not
to enter Into the fight, but will give
his attention to other matters llkclv
to be moro profitable to him than a
shy Just now nt fickle politics.
No Democrat has ns vet announced
himself and District Chairman John
E. Gaffney says he Is totally at sea
ns to who will be selected. The one
sidedness of the district, he fears, will
cause the office to go begging as usual.
Benson Davlf, ex-member of the board
of control, has been mentioned as a
possible candidate for tho Democratic
nomination.
In tho Second district, lion. Alex T.
Connell, nredecepsor of Mr. scheucr, Is
being boomed by his friends for a re
