YOUNG PEOPLE BANQUET
Celebration of tho Fourteenth Anni
versary of tho Y. P. S. C. E. of
Second Presbyterian Church.
In the parlors of tho Second Pres
byterian church Inst evening tho four
teenth anniversary of the Young Peo-plc'.-a
Society of Christian Endeavor
was held. The society of this church
is a model ono nnd the gathering of
tho members at this banquet was a
very happy event.
The Sabbath school orchestra under
the direction of William Stanton, who
Is chairman of tho music committee
of the society, gave some beautiful
numbers. Tho members, eighty of
whom were present, were then seated
at the tables and after singing "Blest
Be the Tie That Binds," the bless'ng
was asked by nsslstant pastor, Itev.
James Hughes. Under the direction of
Raymond Sanderson, chairman of the
social committee, a delightful menu
was served, consisting of bread, chick
en croquets, creamed asparagus, salad,
Ices and coffee.
J. M. Chance, president of the so
ciety, welcomed the members and In
troduced the toastmaster for the even
ing, William J. Torrcy. The following
toasts were proposed nnd responded to
In the following order: "Absent Mem
bers," II. W. Rowley; "Junior Society,"
Horace Chandler: "Mission Work of
Our Sister Churches In the City," Miss
Decker; "Our Watchword for tho New
Year," the pastor, Dr. Robinson; "The
Boys' Club," Ernest Loney; "The Girls'
Club," Myrtle Thomas; "Our Session,"
James II. Torrcy.
Thomas Archbald, of the First
church, was present and brought greet,
lugs from that church. Miss Salmon
and Mr. Ralph Williams sang solos
and Miss Clare Brewster recited. Miss
Grace Sanderson read tho annual re
port of the society.
The decorations under tho direction
of Miss Decker, chairman of the flower
committee, were beautiful. After a
most delightful evening the exercises
were brought to a close with prayer
by Dr. Robinson.
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.
You'll see that you seldom or never
get something for nothing. In tho long
run It pays to buy only those things
which havo an established reputation
and are sold at a fair price.
There are occasions, however, when
one is able to buy a high grade article
at a ridiculously low price, as Is being
demonstrated In the remarkable bar
gains in pianos offered by the Finn
Music House. For example, a hand
bome Hallet & Davis walnut upright,
best largest and most expen'ive style
at $230.00, or a Royal upright rosewood
finish, double veneered case, hardwood
back, 7 1-3 octaves, three strHgod
three pedals repeating action, full me
tal plate at $125.00. This stock com
prises twelve different makes; each
and every piano guaranteed by the
makers for five or some for eight years.
The motive Is clear. Having adopted
a fixed policy, and settled upon a rep
resentative line It became necessary
that this stock should be closed out
to make room for the regular line of
pianos. Affording a glorious opportu
nity to win popularity by offeilng
pianos at prices utteily Impracticable
If It were not Intended to continue the
sale of those instruments.
Churches, lodges, societies, schools,
etc., will find this a golden opportunity
to make a capital Investment In pianos.
It Is necessary to see these lnairj
ments to appreciate the disparagement
between price and value.
Payments, or cash. It's no difference
to us. Costs a little more on pay
ments, but you have the use of piano
and money. It's worth more. Examine
and see for yourself.

END OP TIM PRESENT
THEATRICAL SEASON
IT WAS SATISFACTORY IN
EVERY RESPECT.
At the Lyceum Some of tho Best At
tractions on the Stage Were Pre
sented A Better Show of Appre
ciation of the Good Things Offered
Would Havo a Beneficial Effect.
Big Crowds at tho Academy At
tractions Seen at tho Lyceum Dur
ing the Season.
With tho presentation of "Miss
Hobbs" nt the Lyceum last night the
regular season nt that house ended.
The Academy of Muslo will close Its
doors after tonight's performance.
Both houses have had very successful
seasons, and did the latgcst business
In their hlstotles.
The Academy of Music season has
been especially satisfactory, and it Is
estimated that no city In tho country
of the slzo of Scranton had a greater
number of persons attending popular
priced entertainments.
At tho Lyceum some of tho best at
tractions known to the theatrical
world were presented. These did not
their merits entitled them to. but on
tho whole the lessees of the Lyceum
arc congratulating themselves on the
success of the season.
Scrantonlans often fall to give su
perior theatrical attractions the pat
ronage that should be awarded them,
and this Is regrettable, because It
militates ugalnst securing the best the
stage affords. The theatrical business,
like every other business that succeeds,
Is founded on strict business laws, and
when a show that costs Its managers
a lot of money to produce draws a
house that sometimes falls to de
more thnn meet expenses here.
It Is not to bo wondered that
they would hesitate to send their ven
tures this wny again. A nicer discrim
ination in the way of patronizing the
best attractions will do much to Im
prove Scranton's standing in tho theat
rical world, with a general average of
better class attractions as a result.
MANAGER LONG'S SUCCESS.
Manager Harvey Long, who had
both houses under his control during
the season, was populur with thi
patrons of the theaters and altogether

Before the flames could be success
fully attacked It was necessary to ie
movc a large part of the debris of tho

gave tho flames a big start and made
the light a difficult one.
None of the five men burned In the

serious symptoms, and all will be

trade, living In tho COO block of North
Washington avenue, wns taken to tho
central police station last night, after
an attempt at suicide, suffering from
a very bad case of delirium tremens.
They were tho result of his havlnir
looked upon tho wlno when It was red,
and various other intoxicants of dif
ferent hues, several times too often,
during the day.
Early last evening he tried to com
mit sulcldo by springing from tho Lin
den street bridge.
It wns about 7 o'clock, and he was
Just about to take tho fatal leap when
ho wns seen nnd stopped by passersby.
Police headquarters wan notified, nnd u
patrolman sent to take him In chargt
When tho latter arrived on the scene,
however, Broadbent nad managed to
