PRESIDENT'S BANQUET. Head of Boys' Industrial Association and Other Officers Dined Last Night at the Parish House. The election of .Tames McQann as president of the Hoys' Industrial asso ciation was celebrated last night with a banquet served In St. Luke's parish house to the forty-four other ofllcers of the association. ' President McGann, who Is a brlrjht, manly, flno-looklng chap about 14 years old, occupied the place of honor at the centre of the main table, and Robert Morton, the vice-president, ,was at his right elbow. Other officers In attend ance were the chief .lustlce, secretaries of state, treasury, interior, gymnasium and public works; the four justices of the peace, librarian and the senators and representatives. The ages of the boys filling these ofllces In the union republic into which the association has been formed, range from 12 to 16 years, and there are Pio testants, Roman Catholics and Hebrews among them. Their salaries range from four cents a night up to the salary of the president, vho receives ten cents a night. A number of grown-ups, who are In terested In the work being accomplished by the association, under the capable direction of Mr. Barnes, were present, also, and manifested hearty approval of the programme rendered at the con clusion of the banquet, which wns served by a corps of young ladles, who volunteered their service. President McGann gave a really clever talk on "The Ladles," and quotations were given bv Vice-President Robert Morton and Chief Justice James Reap. The Boys Industrial association is growing at such a rapid rate that it has now almost outgrown its present home In the basement of the parish house. There are now upwards of 445 active members, the very large major ity of them being boys who would un questionably spend the time they are in tho association rooms on the street, if no association existed. They are taught carpentry, cobbling, printing and cane-seating, and are given every opportunity for recreation during cer tain hours set apart for recreation pur poses. ROBERT REEVES ARRESTED. Was Charged "by J. A. Mears with Violating City Ordinance. Robert Reeves, general superintend ent of the Scranton Gas and Water company, purchased a new automobile recently and he started in the machine for a trial spin on Sunday afternoon. He made a test of its-speed on North Washington avenue, just as Joseph A. Mears was coming along driving one of his spirited teams, of horses. The animals became frightened at the horseless vehicle and started to run. Mr. Clears had great difficulty In keep ing them under his control, and he de termined yesterday that there should be no repetition of the occurrence. He accordingly went before Magistrate Howe and swore out n warrant for Mr. Reeves' arrest, charging him with run ning his automobile faster than the limit fixed by ordinance, eight miles an hour. Mr. Reeves was arrested, but before the case came to a hearing it was set tled by his agreeing to pay the costs. - . IS NOW A BONIFACE. Sheriff Schadt Buys the Hotel Irv ing Property. Sheriff Charles H. Schadt yesterday purchased Hotel Irving and last night had it reopened for business.

The hotel was under the hammer, and would bo sold at sheriff's sale, had not tho deal ot yesterday been con summated. George Klnback was the owner. ' The hotel has not been a success for various resons, but under the manage ment of Its now owner, who has been so successful In other lines of business, It Is safe to predict that it will now bo made profitable.

Richard Barron, President. Michael J. Gauglmn. CONFERENCE HAS OPENED GREAT THRONO IN JACKSON STREET BAPTIST CHURCH1. Sessions Are Vnder the Auspices ot the Abington Association and the Baptist Ministers' Association At Last Night's Meeting Addresses Were Delivered by Rev. Henry J, Whalen, D. D., of Carbondale; Rev. E. E. Chivers, D. D., of New York; Rev, Curtis E. Law, of Baltimore. The opening session of the twentieth century conference of the Baptists of Northeastern Pennsylvania was held In the JacltBOrt Street Baptist church.West Scranton, last evening, and was attend ed by a representative audience from the various churches, which taxed the seating capacity of tho big auditorium. The plan and scope of these meet ings, which will continue until Thurs day night, is similar to that of tho national anniversaries. They are being held under tho combined auspices of the Abington association and the min isters' conference of this, city. The purpose is to review the development of the denomination during the last century, to study the facts and forces, the status and trends of the present, and to consider the outlook for the future. The desire is also to set forth the principles illustrated in the Baptist de nominational life, to emphasize educa tional and missionary expansion, and to study the forces dominant in tho church work, and to note the demands of the present of the Ametican Baptist societies. Richard Nlcholls presided, and music was furnished by an augmented choir and orchestra, under the dliectlon of Prof. Lewis Davis. The address of .wel come was delivered by Rev. H. J. Wha len, D. D., of Carbondale, and proved to be of much local historical interest. Rev. E. E. Chivers, D. D., of New York, spoke on "The Relation of a Young Christian to His Denomination," and Rev. Curtis E? Law, of Baltimore, gave an address on the subject of "Au thoritative Ambassadorship." A large number of visiting clergymen were In attendance, many of whom are being entertained at the homes of church members. Dr. Whalen's address was as follows: DR. WII.VLbYS ADDRESS. One bundled ycais ago, this densely populiled alley, with its unequalled Industrie, a-,t "oin meicial interests, and thousands oi delightful homes was almost an unbroken wilderness The few and scatteied settlers made theh way cur our lolty mountains, and through oui mrrov al leys, by lines of blazed trees or the bridle paths.

REV. HENRY J. WHALES'. D. D. Ing houxe, these true hrtttod men and women recognitcd the cUlms of the bleated cause of missions. In 1823, the cause ot ministerial edu cation was taken tip, and these self-educated and aelf-denylng ministers urged upon their strug gling people the duty of raising up an educated ministry, and a suitable offering for the work was taken and sent to our Institution at Hamil ton, S. Y. The Attitude ot our association to the secre taries of our socletl j was expressed 'in the fol lowing resolution at Hie wislon of 1M4I "Re solved, That the association entertain grateful feelings for the attendance at our session, of our venerable father In the Bible cause, Itev. Archi bald Maclay, D. D., and we earnestly and iffec tlonatcly urge the American and Foreign" Blblo society to send an annual delegation to our as soclatlon." The following jear It heartily endorsed by res olution the Christian Chronicle "as a chinnol of valuable Information, and would recommend that every member of our churches take, pay for and read It." AN HONORABLE RECORD. In all questions of moral reform our asso ciation has an honorable record i .temperance and sntl-slavery were tho recorded sentiments from the earliest joara; It dared to pronouuee against some forms of amusement which In our day arc the bane of the churches. When about 1K10 untl Mormonliu swept over the churches of this part of the stale and threatened to paralyze the en ergies of the church, the old Abington grappled with the evil to the very death, and the churches were purified and strengthened In the conflict. hueh briefly Is the history, and our conse quent heritages and because of this goodly herit age, and on honest effort on our pait to mitntatn Its honor unsullied, we have undertaken to net as host, to yon, the representatives of our larger denominational life, and to you our neighboring brethren, who have done jour part nobly for the building up of (ho beloved denomination, whose fellowship an'd loyalty to truth, make It a do onmlnatlon apart frohi all others. The honor that la to be ours In these days Is a worthy fruitage frojn the tolls and sacrifices of those Irto whose labors we have entered, Wo arc thankful to leccivc ns our guests, the rcprc cntitlvea of our denominational forces. To wel come the representatives of our foreign mission work, Is to welcome those who wear the mintcls of Corey, Judson, lloirdman, Dean, Rice, I'cck, Bennett, Sharp, Murdock and Samuel Duncan names not only held In honor here, but must lie familiar and loved names about the throne of the .Most High. Lot our hearts and our hands go out heartily to these men, who are called to direct our work In Holds where two-thirds of the hum in family dwell in almost unbroken night. Our home missionary secretaries conic wearing tho mantels of Jonathan doing. Hill, Backus, Bishop and Cutting, and these mantels arc all writ over with that sublime ihotto, "North Amer ica for Christ," Our educators come, and wo recognb-o them, as those who have entered Into the work of Man ning, Wjjland, Scars, Robinson, Anderson, Dodge and Loomls. Among them Is a man who needs no other mantel, than that wrought by his own consecrated life of four-score years and more, Henry O. Weston, the honored president whose seminary has sent no heresy into our pulpits to destroy the faith of the saints. The mantel of Benjamin Griffiths is a sufficient passport tor the representatives of our Publication society, to our Inmost hearts, for it has been given to but few men to wiitc their names more indcllibly upon the pages of our denominational history. But generals were nothing without the lanks, and so to each and every Baptist brother and sisters of the ranks, as well as to the great lead ers, I extend the heartiest Christian welcome of the Abington association, the friendship of this citv's pledged corps of Baptist pastor-, and the hospitality of a Baptist membership of three thousand of the noblest men and women whom God has in this city. DR. CHIVERS' TALK. When Dr. Chivers was introduced by Chairman Nlcholls, it was with a feel ing of pride, he said, that he could trace his ancestry back to Welsh orig in, and felt himself quite at home In a West Scranton audience. Without dwelling very lengthily on that feature, however, the speaker pioceeded with his subject. He dwelt upon the relation ot a young Christian to his denomination, and spoke of religion in Its most essential forms, aerring that It Is more than a creep, a ritual or a rapture! it Is above all else, he said, a life sustained and controlled by the will of God. Religion Is an Intensely personal mat ter, and as such demands an Inward and personal culture. It must be nursed by the soul's Individual communion with Go,d. Life to be lived truly finds secret sources of, its power In fellowship with God. Jesus Christ was the perfect seivant of God, and there must be an inward and personal culture of Christian life in the Christian of today to be likened unto him. Denominations ate a fact and a factor in church work, and the organic unity of Christian chutches would not put an end to all evils. Many truths have been rescued from oblivion, and by and bye will be n power in the chureh universal. If the teachings of the Baptist, Methodist or Presbyterian denominations stand for nothing, we should give up, but I be lieve they do stand for something, and are a power for good. CLEARLY DEFINED VIEWS. The young Christian should have clearly defined views of the denomina tion for which he stands. His beliefs ought to be the outcome of thought and should be guided by God. This is not an age of strong conviction, the air Is bristling with Interrogation points. There Is a great difference between opinions and beliefs. Theio Is too much opinion and not enough belief In the' world today. Be lief that will hold Is needed. A re vival of sttong conviction is also need ed, nnd It Is Incumbent upon the young Clulfitlan to obtain clearly defined views of the truth. The young Chiistian ought to pro claim tho views he holds and has a right to proclaim the truth as It Is taught him. Much mischief Is done by Injudicious advocacy of the truth, but the young Chtistlan must bo Ioynl to Christian principles and embody them In every dny life. Ho must apply these principles to Christian life and nativity, for the tree Is known by Us fruits. The church thnt hnH the God that answers by tire is tho church of tho twentieth century. Rev. Curtis E. Law, of Baltimore, spoke mptead of Rev, J. H. Haslam, A. M of Wllllamsport, who 'was on tho programme. He took for his subject the theme "Authoritative Ambassador ship, or "The New Emphasis of Old Truths." He believes that the first thing necessary In the twentieth cen tury movement is to magnify personal holiness among young people, as the most unanswerable argument of Chris tianity Is a redeemed man. 'lit we expect otheis to accept our belief we must be believeis ourselves, as unrighteous living Is the constant discount of righteousness. Mote zeal Is needed, and we also need to clarify personal faith, "Wo should take the key of promise and open the doubtful castle, but we must ulso apply our present equipment to the problems now before us. The power wrapped up In the young Chiis tian of today s God-given, and we use these great riches rightfully und to the best ends." The second session of the conference will be held ut the Penn Avenue Bap tist church, beginning at 0.30 o'clock this morning, Addresses will be deliv ered by Rev. P. L. Jones, D. D., und Miss V. M, Schuyler, of Philadelphia; Rev. LeRoy Stephens, D, D., and Rev, Elkanuh Hulley, Ph. D. The afternopn session will bo held In the Green Ridge Buptlst church, and the evening session In the North Main Avenue Buptlst chuich, SIX LICENSES ARE GRANTED COURT CONSIDERATE OF PROF ERTY OWNERS.
