FINE NEW CHURCH
FOR METHODISTS
"Working- Drawings Completed by
Architect Edward Langley, of
Scranton Some of the Features
That Will Give Carbondale One of
the Finest Methodist Churches in
This Section of the State.
Archil out Kdwnrd LaiiBluy, of Scrnn
ton, lias completed full working' draw
ings for the erection of the church
Unit will take the place of the Imposing
and beautiful bouse of worship of the
First Methodist congregation which
w:is destroyed by lire in November
last.
The new edillce will be wooden In
every detail and will be of even greater
credit tn this heroic and enterprising
congregation that was the beautiful
home that brought so much sadness
with Its destruction.
The exterior of native stone will be
most pleasing with its strong classic
lines and graceful tower after an Ital
ian campanile.
The auditorium with deep galleries is
arranged in ampitheatre style. The
barrel-vaulted celling, penetrated by
three gable wludowr. and enriched
loade light dome, terminates with a
classic consoled cornice. The gable and
other windows are to be glazed with
handsome memorial glass, and as the
light Is diffused through dome and side
lights, in rich mezzo tones It will blend
harmoniously with the warm decora
tive scheme of green, brown and gold
for the interior.
The altar, rostrum, choir platform
and organ are each elevated above the
other in the order given.
All the interior wood work will bo
a beautiful dark oak, including the
pews, which will be cushioned with
deep red plush.
The auditorium is separated from the
Sunday school by an immense door,
divided horizontally, which, by an in
genious contrivance is made to noise
lessly disappear, half going Into the
baseihent, ana' the other half upwards
into a pocket. They will be so balanced
as to move with little power. The
auditorium roof will be covered by
segmental steel trusses, spanning the
entire width of the auditorium.
The spacious Sunday school room will
be very complete, having a large gal
lery on three sides, 'divided up into
class rooms, arranged in steps of tier
upon tier. The senior class room Is
lighted with a paneled skylight of lead
ed glass, as well as clear story win
dows. The basement plan calls for a largo
dining room, ladles' parlor, choir room,
lavatories, coat checking room, store
rooms, etc.
Protection Against Fire.
An important feature of the arrange
ment of the new edillce Is the location
of tho heating plant. It will be recalled
that It was tho furnace, located under
the auditorium, that caused tho fire
that bereft the congregation of its
home. This danger will be far removed
In the new church. The heating plant
will be arranged outside of the main
building in vault chambers below the
rear sidewalk. Tho wisdom and the
safety of this arrangement will be
fully appreciated,
The electrical lighting scheme when
M Installed, will bo something decidedly
X u.nlaue, and less trying to tho eyes than
the old Idea of placing lights In large
Z c)nsjtei'. Thereyvlll be a wiser dls
, trltjuiion of th'p5iAiui arrangement that
" Will readily eoim'uend Itself.
Si '3'lits sketch, jjlves n comprehensive
Idea of the f(pc!j(llit home In which the
" M'ethoillstH will 'worship. As suggested
Z before, It will bo one of the handsomest

i sylvanla and will bo creditable not alone
n to tho endeavors of tho self-suerlllclng
congregation, but to the city of Cur-
Jl The unusual burden that Is being
? assumed in determining to build such a

ALMOST SNOW BOUND.'
The Town Hidden Under n Mantle of
White Nine Inches of a Snow
Fall More Floods Feared,
The trite saying "from the frying pan
Into thu lire,'" somes to lit well in dc
scriblnar tho conditions, atmospheric,
cllmntlc, meteorological, likewise und
otherwise, of the city of Carbondale.
There was considerable rejoicing over
the passing of tho Hood of a few days
ago, but this Jubilation was short-lived
for yesterday morning a snow fall be
gan hereabouts that continued with a
business air until people were ready to
eat their suppers last night. By this
time nine' inches of snow, it was esti
mated-, had fallen, Tho measurement
was made where it was level and where
there was little If any drifting. Nine
Inches was not the depth of the snow in
every place. In some pluces it was
two nnd three feet, drifted by the wind
that cavorted around roofs and chim
ney tops and whirled this way and
that, making whirlwinds of snow that
fairly blinded pedestrians and made
them blame the weather man as If ho
was the guilty man. Like after tho
preceding quasI-bllzzarOs of the year
the town was manteled in white last
night: sidewalks were choked with
snow and roadways were blocked. Tho
show drifts on Main street that re
mained after tho thaw and rain of
last week looked' like the snow forts
that the school boys can make when
the spirit of industry, mixed with mis
chief, possesses him. The railroads,
however, suffered little, If at all, from
the storm. All the Delaware and Hud
son trains were moved without delay
and the Ontario and AVestern exper
ienced no trouble.
The great fall of snow made the suf
ferers of last vieck fearful of Hood un
easy, for they became apprehensive of
a return performance of the angry ele
ments. The uncertainty of the weath
er would lead one t,o expect almost any
kind of storm, and if there should bo
a climax to this show fa.ll like the one
of last week, there will be a sad repe
tition of history. The extensive water
shed on the. West Side was only half
relieved of snow 'when yesterday's
storm set in. Now there is almost as
great a Quantity of snow. as before. the
rain of lust wpek which would once
mere convert the sluggish Brooklyn
creek Into a formidable stream.

Mr. Holland found his wife suffering
severely from the shock or the night.
She has always been a robust woman,
but the excitement of the dash from the
hotel where so many persons were de
stroyed has completely unnerved her
and it may be necessary for her to
change her surroundings to restore her.
Mr, Holland sustained a heavy loss
as well. The extensive wardrobe of his
wife and bis daughter, valued at sev
eral thousands of dollars, was wholly
destroyed. The family jewels are also,
having been stolen during the confus

THE RAZOE, AND THE NOVEL.
Has the Former Had an Appreciable
Effect on LiteratureP
1'iniii (he lloston Journal (Hep).
AVe believe it was Frank Norris who,
lately being asked why women writo
better novels than men, replied' that
the best novels still come from thu
"razor-using contingent."
AVe don't know how Mr. Norris Iookn
after his face whether he lathers and
scrapes It every morning or allows It to
run wild, like an abandoned garden,
Presumably be is one of the "razor
using contingent." It occurs to us that
several of tho present heroes of litera
ture are of the scissor3-using contingent,,
Certainly, judging by their portraits,
they make no ordinary use of the razor;
and to the ranks of these bearded' one.4
has lately come Mr. Sousa, whose care
fully trimmed Vandyke betokes nono
of the indifference to personal appear
ances commonly attributed to the fa
vorite sons of the Muses. Moreover,
tho term "razor-using" will not do as u
fence separating the men from tho
women.
In short, Mr. Norris can not drag tho
razor Into literature. It Is true, we un
derstand, that Ibsen is accustomed to
think out the day's work while plying;
the razor; and It Is surprising, by tho
way, that no connection has ever been
established between that act and tho
Norseman's views of life. To the aver
age man, however, shaving Is a vexa
tious and hazardous custom, encour
aged by fianleul wives and by the pro
prietors of barber shops, -If Marlon
Crawford, who keeps one publisher
busy, were to be asked what he thought
of the razor he would probably answer:
"It costs mo fifteen minutes a day. In
fifteen minutes I can write 300 words.
In a week that amounts to nearly
2,000 words, and In a year to enough
words to make a fair-sized novel, good
for 100,000 copies. Therefore, I lose
.$20,000 a year on account of that razor,"
But, anyhow, the question whether
women write better novels than men
Is not to bo disposed of by asserting
that the best novels still come from thu
"razor-using contingent." It Is only
true that, like razors, some of tho so
called best novels get dull very quickly.
