PLANS FOR Y.M.C.A.
BUILDING FURNISHED
THEY ARE NOW AT THE DIS
POSAL OF BUILDERS.
The Specifications Comprise One
Hundred and Sixty Pages It Is'
the Purpose of the Directors to
Complete the Building Without
Debt and They Will Not Let Any
Contracts Until the Entire Amount
Is Raised Some of the Features
of the Building.
The finished ulnns and specifications
of the new 'Young Men'H Christian 111
soclatlon. building1 have born received
at the Young Men's ChilHtlan associa
tion rooms In the Guernsey bulldinsr,
and are open to any Scrnnton con
tractor who may desire to tluure on
them. The specifications make a vol
ume of one hundred and slxh' pases
of closely written matter., and there
are fifty sheets of drawings covering
every detail of the building.
Kvcry Item has been closely studied
by the trustees and by various expert
association men. and the wlan Is pro
nounced to be the most complete and
economical of any building yet erected
for association use In the United
States. Kvcry Inch of space has been
used to the best possible advantage.
Nothing Is extravagantly large. Every
part of the building has been designed
for daily use. There nfe r.o rooms set
apart as in some Young .Men's Chris
tian association bulldlnss for "com
mittee rooms," "board rooms," etc., to
be used once a week or less. Every bit
of space which can be rented witliont
crippling the association has been u
eerved for that purpose.
Already applications are in for three
tores and a suite of otilus on the llr.'t
floor and two studios on an upper lloor
for a 'total of $3,280. Large numbers of
applications have been made for the
clglity-four room's on the upper flocr?
Thus It is expected that the associa
tion will very nearly sustain Itself, and
could be made to do so entirely but
for the fact that It desires to make
membership fees', room rentals aw: all
privileges so reasonable that hard
working and poorly paid young fellows
who need them can hr.ve them.
ATTRACTIVE FKATL'llE.
One' of the most attractive features
of the new building is lo be the roof.
A central pavilion, or roof house,
covers the elevator and stairway and
on cither side of it an arbor stretches
for forty feet. This, when covered
with vines, will be the most delightful
summer resort imaginable.
Secretary Many has In mind u serifs
of Saturday evening popular concerts,
a sort of open night for the members
and their friends of both sexes, with
u nominal admission fee of ten cents.
The caterer will serve Wo coram, soda
water, etc., which may be indulged in
while the concert Is in prowess. Hon-,
t too, on Sunday afternoons, when It is
' ordinarily too hot for comfort indoors,
the shaded arbors will bo used for the
. association gospel meetings.
The three most beautiful parts of the
building architecturally will be the
gymnasium and baths, the central
rotunda and the audltori'iin. Special
attention has been glvpn to iho tvH
latlon and arrangement of the Turkish
bath, the swimming nool nnd locker
j oom. A feature never yet included in
a Ycmng Men's Christian association
building is the sterilizing room for the
.iroper drying and sterilizing of all
gymnasium suits and sweaters after
xercise before being put away in the
lockers,
THE ROTUNDA.
The central rotunda will have a
large fHeplace and an attractive main
staircase with balconies on either side
as its principal features.
The auditorium has the ideal pro
portions for a comfortable place of as
sembly. A beautiful balcony In ths
shape of a horseshoe is suspended from
the ceiling of the hall, und will make
the total seating capacity about 1,000.
The stage Is large enough for any
chorus work or entertainment likely to
require the use of such a hall. The
lloor is inclined as in the most modern
theatres and concert halls.
The canvats for funds for the build
ing Is now In progress and the direc
tors are meeting with encouragement.
About lltty thousand dollars In popu
lar subscriptions arc still needed to
complete the $200,000 required for the
building and all furnishings. Between
three or four thousand of this amount
has been subscribed during'the week,
and these amounts are In prospect
from those who have promised to con
tribute but huve usked time to decide
as. to the amount.
It is thn put pose of the trustees to
foiiipleto the building absolutely with
out debt, and-they desire to announce
that they will not let any contracts
until the entire amount is jalsed.
Sixty thousand dollais In large sub
scriptions secured within the past few
weeks are conditional upon $200,000
being raised, and until this condition
is mot the Young Men's Christian as
sociation cannot claim this amount.
INFLUENCE OE UUILDINU.
The influence of such a building on
Iho boys and young men of Scranton
cannot bo estimated, and every man
who can spare any amount from his
actual necessities for this purpose;
ought at once to nut it in the hands
of the Young Men's Christian associa
tion, v..
The New Haven Young Men's Chris,
tian association Is raising a fund of
$223,000 for a new building and an
nounce this week one subscription of
' $30,000, one of $25,000, four of $10,000
and a conditional subscription of $10,
000. Ono of the donors to this fund is
Miss Scranton, of New Haven, well-
known here; her gift was $10,000. Day
ton, Ohio, is raising funds for a build
ing to cost over $300,000, and Toledo,
Ohio, haa plans drawn for a $250,000
building; $20,000 from one fanflly ha's
been given towards It. , ,
People are beginning to plan for their
.roups: men and boys, and are planning
wisely, by dedicating a new Young
Men's Christian association building
every nine days in the United States
and Canada,

SPECIAL MEETING OF COMMON.
Called for Next Thursday Evening
by Chairman Xellar.
A special meeting of common council
has been called for next Tuesday even
lng for the purpose of considering the
appropriation ordinance, which was
amended on third reading at last
Thursday evening's meeting.
As select council meet on the same
evening, it Is understood that the
measure will be taken over there and
the amendments concurred In. It was
at first thought that a fight would be
made on at least two of the amend
ments, but It Is now believed that there
will be no material opposition to them.

Stomach
Troubles
In Spring
Are that bilious feeling, bad taste in the mouth,
dull headache, sleeplessness, poor appetite.
No matter how. careful you are about eating,
everything you take into your stomach turns sour,
causes distress, pains and unpleasant gases. In this
condition it is only a question of time when you will
have a well developed case of dyspepsia, or possibly
bilious fever.
Don't you 'understand what these symptoms
these signals of distress mean?
They are the cries of the stomach for help ! It is
being overworked. It needs the peculiar tonic
qualities and digestive strength to be found only
in Hood's Sarsaparilla. We have combined in this
medicine the best stomach remedies known to the
medical profession, and thousands of grateful let
ters telling its cures prove it to -be the .'greatest
medicine for all stomach troubles ever ' yet dis
covered. Try it this Spring.
Mrs. Shelly, who writes the
following letter, is the wife of
Itev. D. II. Shelly, for forty
years in the ministry of tho
United Brethren. By her kind
ly nature anil gentle disposition
she has won hundreds ot friends,
who rejoice in her restoration to
health :
I suffered for years with sour
stomach, sometimes called water
brash. I could not drink either
cold or warm water because it
would sour on, my stomach. I
was bloated and weighed over
200 pouuds. My blood did not
circulate properly, and if others
around me were warm I seemed
to bo freezing. I had numbness
in my right side and arms. The
physician advised a thorough
course ot treatment with a blood
medicine in the spring, as at that
time my body was covered with
scales caused by au affliction of
dry eczema. . Having commenced
treatment with Hood's Sarsapa
rilla I continued .'taking the
second bottlo, after which 1 could
sleep well. My 'digestion began
to improve and I fell away in
weight. I have little or no
trouble from eczema now and my
weight is 180 pouads, about
normal. My food digests proper
)y and 1 am not troubled with
numbness. I am also able-to
drink cold water, a privilege
which Reople'do not fully appre
ciate until they- are deprived ot
it. I think a , great deal ot
Hood's Sarsaparilla and it cer
tainly has effected very remark
able results." Mns. D. II.

Every druggist sella Hood's Sarsaparilla. But be sure you
get Hood's, and not a substitute, Hood's Is Peculiar to Itself.

OV CANNOT successfully educate yourself through the mails by
enrolling with one of our imitators. You are certain to lose the
money you pay for tuition, because their methods of instruction are
illogical, and the results without value to any one desiring educa
tion for its practical use.
Our svstem of Correspondence Instruction In the Industrial
Sciences was originated in The International Correspondence Schools, of Scranton,
Pa., in October. 1891. since that time, we have taught the Theory of the
l-ngineering Trades and Professions, a well as Mechanical and Architectural
Drawing, to thousands of industrial workers, and have qualified them for respon
sible positions. Our rolls contain the names of students in every part of the civ ii-
Ued world.
That a method or an invention should thus e.ten J aroun J the globs, and rapidly
grow in favor with the lapse of time, is proof positive of intrinsic value.
These great results have been achieved by original methods of teaching
methods' especially adapted to the end in view. Our Instruction anJ Question
Papers and our Drawing Plates differ widely from school and college textbooks,
anJ cost us over 5300,000 to prepare and our Imitators are compelled to employ a
cheaper but an utterly Impracticable method that of using textbooks of colleges
and the universities.
If the industrial classes could learn drawing .ind the mathematical and physi
cal sciences from ordinary textbooks, there would have been no field for The
International Correspondence Schools, and our grand army uf 160,000 students
could never have been assembled.
Our instruction anJ Question Papers, and Drawing Plates, differ from the
textbooks used by stuJents in the regular schools in the following important
respects:
THIRD: 0ur textbooks are written by men strong
both in theory and practice. Thc authors of ?
textbooks intended for use In colleges and universities have thorough scientific
training, indeed, but they have little or none of the knowledge that can be gained f
onlv by doing by experience. They lo not know, and. therefore, omit to mention
in their books, the way in which innumerable scientific facts may be applied in S
simple operations of the trades or professions. These applications of science are
familiar only to the expert both in theory and practice, and only such men are cm- 0
ployed as Editors and Instructors by the Management of these Schools.
" FOURTH' The men that make our textbooks su
iun i mi, pervfse tfje instruction of our students. 5
No one can teach the contents of a book so well as the man that wrote the book;
he knows better than any one else what is in tne pook, wny u is mere, ana us
importance with reference to the other parts of thc entire subject.
FIFTH' They are frequently revised.

cannot be changed at the pleasure of those tliat use them.. In order
Hcimr private
college textbooks
j chanced at the pleasure of those tliat use them.. In order to correct what
is w rone, improve what is faulty, smooth awav difficulty, and insert what is of
later discovery, changes must be made very frequently. Our Instruction Papers
belong to us; and In our Editorial Department, they are in constant comparison
withvvhatis latest and best; faults, omissions, and crudities of every kind are
therefore remedied without delay. In the case of textbooks on Applied Physical
Science, the need of revision occurs with special frequency. Take Electrical books,
for example; many works on this subject printed live years ago are now nearly
worthless, for thc reason that they arc out of date.

its abstractions are always difficult. Our-textbooks contain onlv the facts,
principles, and processes arsolutely required by the student In his trade or pro
fession. These are usually easy to learn and to apply. The workingman has not
the time to study all the matter contained In the school and college textbooks,
neither does his work require him to be strong In abstract theory. In thc prepar
ation of our Instruction Papers; neither time nor expense is spared to secure the
ereatest possible simplicity and ease of application. We do nut occudv the time
oflour studentsi In'tlie study of 'the derivation of rules and formulas; we teach
then how to apply rules and formulas.
SFCOND: TheU dre m0re PCtica. ordinary school

was prepared; so that from the beginning our students are getting valuable
knowledge and are learning to apply it.
nai aim vcru hullcasiui rneuiuu, inAtechan-
ical and Architectural Drawing, special Plates were prepared at an enormous
expense both In time and money. They have been copyrighted because they em
body a method of Instruction entirely new one that has been extraordinarily pro
ductive of practical results.
Our students in drawing make as rapid progress in learning and become us
proficient as the students of the regular schools and colleges. The principles un
derlying our system of teaching drawtng',areentireIyJdifferent'frora those in the
systems employed in the regular schools, colleges,-and universities, and there is
no other system by which drawing is taught as successfully through thc mails.
Any system of education for people with limited time to devote to study by
the correspondence method that relies on the use of school and college textbooks
will end in failure; the student that pays his moniy for such tuition will get no re
turns. If you want to educate yourself in the theory of your trade or profession, if
you want to become a draftsman or to add to your earning capacity the strength
that COMES FROM THE UNION OF SCIENCE WITH PRACTICE, we Can help
you.
