Twenty-fourth Annual Meeting of
the Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society of the Scranton District of
the Lackawanna Presbytery Closed
at Noon Yesterday Old Officers
Re-named, with Two Exceptions.
Resolutions Adopted An Uplifting
Devotional Meeting Led by Mrs.
W. H. Scranton The Day's Doings.
The Woman's Foreign Missionary
society of the .Scianton district of the
Lackawanna Piesbytery is now In its
twenty-fifth year. The last meeting
of the year just ended closed yesterday
at. noon in the Fiist Presbyterian
church in tills city.
Among the most Important tiansac
tions of the sessions, which was brim
ful of interest and helptulness to the
enthusiastic and zealous missionary
workers, was the selection of ofllceis

V took place, new names appearing in
T-lje place of the second vice president
mfil the secretary of literatuie. The
oflleoi: are: President. Mrs. Martin

Miss Grace Chanibet lain, iunmore, re
elected; secietary of literature, Mrs.
11. Pieenuin, West Scranton; as
sistant secretary, MKs LouKe AVI1
liams, fiieen Ridge.
It will be somewhat of an honor to
bo an otlleer this year, as this H the
year which will iimik the sllvpr jubilee
of the Scianton dlstilct.
Another Interesting- feature of the
last meeting was the devotional hour
conducted by Mrs. W. II. Scranton,
whose deep, religious feeling left Us
impress on those who joined with her
In offering thanksgivings for the llch
harvest In the mlfsiouary field, at the
same time asking for renewed strength
and zeal In the blessed woik of spread
ing the light of the gospel in the dark
ened lands, '
There wag a splendid paper presented
by Mrs. J. K, Burr, 011 "Pi ogress of
Missions During the Last Decade,"
which coutilbuted largely to -warming
the zeal of tlajse who heard It.
That tbeso meetings weie as Interest
ing and helpful as any that have been
held -In Hie district, the delegates, who
eaji!o,(lleii, with. zeal, left .stronger In
tUfc'.rJ'spliit.lon andcquraito further

Carbondale
that more of the townspeople were not
present at the meetings, which were
of Interest to everybody.
The delegates leave Cnrbondnle with
the plensantest thoughts of ' tlyj' hos
pitality of the ladles of the First church
who entertained them during their stay
In the city.
The Last Session.
The final session opened Willi 'tin
hour'H deVgtlonnl meeting, led by Mrs,
AV. II. Scranton. The obJectB 'of the
prayers of the devoted -u'orkors were
those In far-off lands who left here to
unselfishly carry on the work of the
Master among those who know not the
faith. Many a fervent appeal went up
for their success. During the hour,
singing of anthems Inspired and up
lifted the band of workers.
The teport of Miss Grace Chamber
lain, coi responding secietary of the
district, was eagerly listened to. On
the whole ,it was quite satisfying.
The number of attxlllaiies In the dis
trict for the yeanwas 13, with a mem
beishlp of C22, a gain of 81 over the
previous year. Theie were 14 bands,
with a membership of 310, Indicating a
loss of 47., There was a falling off In
the 12 senior Christian Kudeavor soci
eties of lCfl members; the total mem
bership wus 40C. The junior Christian
Endeavor, 7 societies with a member
ship of 1S2, decreased 13 members. Two
new societies were added: Junior, of
Olyphant, and the seniors of the Wash
burn street church, Scinnton.
The banner society for the "Wo
man's Work" nnd "Over Land and
Sea," -was the society of the Second
church, Scranton, having to Its credit
liO of the former and '11 of the latter.
It also led In" ,the contributions. ,
The First chinch remains undisputed
In Its title for. the largest membership
and average attendance. The latter
number Is 4S. In noting this. Miss
Chamberlain suggested it would be well
if the First church would give a hint
as to how It managed to secure and
maintain such good lesults.
The report of the secretary of liter
atuie, Mrs. T. J. Luce, while It showed
an Increase over last year, was not
what Mis. Kays, the presiding o nicer,
held It should be. Tn discussing the
report, Mrs. Kays affirmed that one
could not take the proper interest In
the work without being Informed, and
the only way to acquire information is
to seek the source, namely, the maga
zines that report the labors of the mis
sionaries In the field.
The paper on the mission work of
the past decade, which Mrs. J. E. Buir,
of this city, piesented, was remarkably
comprehensive, and to present all the
facts which she marshaled so well,
called for a good deal moie reading of
various magazines and religious publi
cations than one who did not have to
deal with the subject, can conceive of.
It was likewise leplete with Interest,
the citing of the lesults of the past
year, the banner year in foreign lands,
being particularly edifying and an in
centive for increased efforts.
Mrs. F. L. Hitchcock, of Green Ridge,
gave an inteiesting report of her visit
as a. delegate to the general assembly
in Philadelphia last April, and Mis.
Wells, of 'Green Ridge, lead extracts
from letters received fiom several mis
sionaries. There was some discussion as to
whether it would be expedient to send
a delegate from the district to the gen
eral assembly in Cleveland on April 23
next, but It was decided upon affirma
tively. Mrs. George Blanehard, Mis.
Harriet' Raynor and Mrs. S. M. Young
were appointed to select a delegate.
Mrs. Young was the choice.
The Resolutions.
After the nominations, which nie
given before," the committee on resolu
tions piesented the following, which
were adopted:

ALDERMAN GRIER AGAIN.
The Inepressible 'Squire Is Heard
from Again in Somerset County.
Poor Board Wrestles with Doctor
Problem Again,
The irrepressible "Alderman" drier,
of this city, Is heard from again. His
loving tendencies have made him cele
brated. A few weeks ago the Carbon
dale poor board 'received an Inquiry
from the 'Somerset county officials as
to how they would be recompensed for
the support of the alderman, at the
nlms house there. He was their board
er for a week or more and referred to
Carbondale as the town that would
settle his account. He said that he
had a residence In Carbondale. The
poor board when the request came for
the alderman's board, didn't devote
any evening to dlscussirtg the merits
of the claim. It' was decided forth
with that the alderman might have had
a claim on Carbondale some time ligo
but thnt he had no residence here nnd
was entitled to nothing In the way of
support.
Last night the poor board heard from
the alderman again. He Is again at tho
Somerset county alms house, with ap
parently fixed Intentions to remain
there until removed. The Somerset of
ficials have tired of supporting him,
with no prospect tof payment, and
threatened In the communication read
last night, to get an order of removal
on drier. As this would mean that the
roving alderman would be sent up Car
bondale way and tho Carbondale poor
district would be compelled to settle,
the directors hastened to rid themselves
of the obligation by directing their soli
citor, Attorney II. C. Butler, to explain
to the Somerset officials that Grier has
110 claim on Carbondale.
The board was thrown into a kind of
a ferment at last nigh.t's meeting by the
resurrection of the doctor question,
which It was supposed had gone Into
an eternal sleep. The stir was caused
by an offer that came from Dr. Flke,
of Dundaff. The doctor agreed to visit
the poor farm once each week, and pro
vide all medicines, except cod liver oil,
for $7i" per year.
Mr. Lynch was In favor of accepting
the proposition, but in urging its ac
ceptance he had In mind that the
physicians from Carbondale proposed
to charge five dollais per visit to the
alms house, ile deemed it a matter of
economy in the face of this to engage
Dr. Kike.
Chairman MeCabe piotested against
engaging a doctor outside or Carbon
dale, who was not a lax-payer while
their was a number of Carbondale doc
tors who weie heavy tax-nayers. Mr.
MeCabe also suggested that he was In
formed by one of the doctors here that
he would make visits to the farm for
three dollars per visit. When Mr.
Lynch learned this he withdrew his
support of Dr. Flke's proposition, agree
ing to wait until something definite in
the way of a proposition would be re
ceived from Carbondale physicians.
The matter will rest until it is ascer
tained what the disposition of the local
practlctioners Is.
The bond of Morgan Thomas, treas
111 er, for $0,000, the Fidelity company,
sureties, was lecelved and accepted.
The board decided to visit the poor
farm on Monday, the newspaper men
to accompany the directors on the in
spection. A motion by Mr, McMillan was pass
ed directing the steward at tthhe farm
to send In a request In advance, as
nearly coriect as possible, of the sup
plies needed for the coming month.
A number of bills were ordered paid.
Another matter pased upon was the
tax duplicate for 189!). A motion was
passed, directing a settlement to be; se
cured from the collector, J. W.Borrett.
The meeting was the most Interesting
in months.
A HOUSE RAIDED.
Three Persons Taken in a Pull by
Constable Moran.
Constable Moran, of Alderman Atkin
son's court, early yesterday mornliifi
raided a house along the Delaware and
Hudson railroad, opposite the Hen
dricks works. Three peisons were taken,
Bruno Yonnettl, Mrs, Blackmore" and
Nora Bryden,
'Yonnettls Is the alleged proprietor of
the Ill-governed place, Mrs. Blackmore
and 'the Bryden woman have been In
the courts on several occasions hereto
foie, Yonnettl was able to furnish boil,
but Mis. Blackmore and her companion
were, sent to Jail In default of security,
Two More Big Houses,
Two more thionged houses were at
the Grand yesteiday, when May Flske
and company gave a matinee, "Peg
Wofllngton," and an evening perform
ance, '.'Under Two Flags," ,
' While the dramatic part of the per
formances was satisfactory, the vaude
ville features were , easily1 the most
popular. In fact, nearly all of the In
terest and enjoyment centered round
tl)e three midgets, Mrs. Tom Thumb,
her hiiHband, the count, and the baron,
Their entertainment Is certainly Clevel
and Is rolllcklngly funny, The musical
act and the Illustrated songs likewise
meet with much applause, There will
bo two performances today, matinee
and evening,
The Recherche's Dance.
The dance conducted In tho Burke
building last evening, under the patron
age of a cqterle of young men, under

FOB FIRE ALARM KEYS.
Convenient Boxes to Hold Them
Erected Throughout the City.
The small glass boxes which Were
ordered by councils as receptncles for
keys for the fire nlorni boxes were put
in place this week. s
The convenience which they will pro
vide will be fully appreciated before
they see lmich service. Their use will
dispense with the delay that might be
occasioned In the event of a holder ot
one of, the keys, ns In the past, not
being ut home, or in the event ot u de
luy In mousing one In the middle ot
tho night. The danger of the old
custom was so oblvlous, it would seem
that the wonder Is thnt It was not
abolished long ago. It was more
through good luck than anything else
that some disaster did not follow In
the wake of the custom that has been
got rid of with the Introduction ot
the new boxes. The keys now hang In
the glnss-front box, beside the alarm
box, and cun be gotten at once In the
case of fire.
The Tribune agitated this new plan
only It suggested the same style of
box as that now In use In Scranton.
By the scheme In vogue there, the key
Is kept In the key hole of the alarm
box all the time and cannot be re
moved by any one except the chler or
his assistants. A small metal 'box,
with a glas front, tho box being not
more than two inches square, covers
the key. When one wishes to turn In
an alarm, he breaks the smalt thin
piece of glass, which exposes the key.
The key Is then turned nnd the box
is opened.
To Councilman John Evans, of tiic
Sixth ward, however, Is due the credit
for the adoption of the plan which has
just been given Its trial. He Introduc
ed the resolution providing for the
boxes and persevered until it was
adopted by both branches of council.
The wisdom of the tesolutlon will be
amply justified before long.
Mr. Evans, It might be of Interest to
mention was Impelled to the step lead
ing to the Introduction of the resolu
tion by a personal experience the night
of firemen's day during the seml-cen-tenlnal
celebration. Some one, want
ed to' procure the Are alarm key
which was kept in his house. The
stranger had considerable dlfllculty in
making his wish known to Mr. Evans,
who had retired tot the night. The
delay that, was experienced impressed
Mr. Evans with the necessity for a
change from that plan of distributing
keys among private residences. The
introduction of the resolution follo'wed
soon afterward.
'TWAS RECORD TIME.
Response Made by Mitchell Team in
Trial Wednesday Night.
The members of the Mitchell Hose
company are discussing with interest
and satisfaction the record which was
made in bitching the team on Wednes
day nightibefore tlxe guests at the
banquet, who repaired from the hall to
the quarters to witness the exhibition.
Two tests were made, one while the
men were down stairs, the other when
they were In the bunk room. From the
time the tap was sounded In the first
instance until the horses were hitched
and the driver had the reins in hand,
it was 13'4 seconds. The men then
went up stairs. The tap was sent in
once more. There was a scramble for
the sliding pole, and In an Instant eag
er hands were hitching the team. In
22'4 seconds, the horses were ready for
an alarm. The members are exceed
ingly proud, and they have right, too,
over the splendid record.
The guests who made up the delega
tion marveled at the work and heartily
congratulated the wide-a-wake Mitch
ell boys.

T IN HIS LINE
HOW A DRUGGIST WAS CURED OF GRIP'S
AFTER EFFECTS.
He Tells a Reporter the Reason Why
' He Recommends Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills for. Pale People.
A man who can speak authoritatively
on medicines Is Mr. J,. 9, MelSlwee, Ph.
G manager ot tho Red Cross Drug
store, In Dover, N. J. Years of "experi
ence has demonstrated to htm Unit one
preparation excels nil others' as a rem
edy for diseases arising from the blood
nnd nerves. When asked by a reporter
what he considered tile best, iliedlchie
for such diseases, he said:
"I have recommended, hundreds ot
people to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pnle People tor I know both' from
'observation and personal experience
what they will do tn restoring health."
"You say you have tried tliem your-
self.?"
"Yes, and with the best of lesults. I
had a severe attack of the grip last
.spring," he continued, "und It left my
system In a bad condition. I w'us much
run down, weak and listless, nervous,
food didn't appeal to me In short, I
was generally miserable. I had had
previous experience with other tonics
and they had done me no good. But I
knew what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
would do und I began taking them.
Three boxes restored me to health,
strength and good spirits. They are a
splendid blood-maker and nerve tonic.
My wife has taken them with great
benellt and she believes In them as
thoroughly "as I do."
It is of the utmost Importance to' your

thirty-five years ago, coming to Car

came cashier of the then newly-organized
Miners' and Mechanics' bank. Un
til recently, she was matron of Roose
velt hospital, In New York city, of
which her husband was superintendent.
