IVIint Young Jlen Hum Accomplished by Thrift nnd Knteiprlso. In the hustle and bustlo of every day life somo very important and deserving things frequently escape observation and attention, especially where the maintenance and con duct of thoso things aro unattended by any of the outward display which usually draws the attention of tho public, and it is perhaps on this account that more publicity has not been given in the past to two local organisations which havo attained a very meritorious standard and show wliat young men who are inclined to mako proper uso of their spare moments can accomplish. They also show that thoro aro many young men in tho town whostltnstes drift into channels for mental, physical and social improvement, and they have accomplished their object by surround ing themselves with so many pleant diversions that, instead of gradually falUn by tho wayside, tired by a routine order or thing or an Irksome system of discipline, thoy stand united, happy and prosperous. Qno of those very worthy organizations is tho National Club. Its headquarters are in thu lieddall buildiiiB, cornor of Main and Centre streets, which Is a superb location, being In the heurt of town and in direct Hue with the scenes of all Important demonstra tions. This elub coinnriso 180 mombers in good standing ranging from 21 to 35 years of ago. Applicants for membership must havo attained the age of 21 years. The oljoct of tho club is social advancement and mutual aid. The club is also polltioal in its character, but not a political club. All its members are Democrats, and the example set by what they have attained is an excellent one for the young Kepubllrans to follow. It is a power In local politiis. though dlous uufrtcrs were required and the elub leased a rlioiu on tho third lloor of the Main building. Continued prosperity increased the neeeOlity tor moro rooms ami the club has occupied the entire lloor for more than a year past. Ono of these rooms is 25x30 feat in size fitted up as a gymnasium and is equipped in No. 1 order for tho pur pose, iicoutnlus a rowing machine, pulling machine, ISuualo homo trainer, a quarter circle, parallel bars, horizontal bars, punch ing bag, bbxing gloves, dumb bells, numer ous pairsof acrobatic shoes, Indian clubs, a head machine and other apparatus found in first-classVymnasiuuis. The parlor is hand somely furnished and, among other valuable things, contains two frames valued at $o0 eaph which contain tho photographs of all tho members. The sitting room is also handsomely furnished and dec orated and among tho features of wall decorations aro striking photographs of every notable battle fought in the United Statos, an evidcuco of the patriotic sentiment of the organization. The club is in excellent finan cial condition. It lias $700 in cash and this, with tho estimated value of its gymnasium outfit and other property, makes its total valuation about $2,000. Its ollicers are : President, James McAteo ; Vice President, P. J. McCarty ; Recording Secretary, Joseph Coughlln ; Financial Secretary, Thomas Scanlau : Assistant Secretary, Peter Mona chal! ; Treasurer, Patrick J. Hovers; Trustees, M. J. Ward, Thomas llrennan, Hugh Dough erty, Janitor, Thomas McCiever; Hoard of Control, J. V. Kurkc, William J. Scanlau, Anthony Flaherty, J. J. JIaley. TIIU (1YMXASIUM CI.U1!. Tho other organization referred to is the Gymnasium Club, which was organized in lbH',1 and has 110 members in good standing. It occupies u room of great size on the top lloor of the Ilynkuwica. building, at tho southeast corner of Main and Oak streets. ' This club diners from tho other in that it has no recognized political tendencies. Its object is, as tho other, principally social advance ment and to keep the members interested. Its internal arrangement embraces a musical and an athletic club. The musical part of the organization includes an orclics tin of ten pieces, which boasts of the ownership of two llutes, four violins, ono bass violin, one kettle drum, one bass drum, ono cornet, a baritone and two clarionets aaudb.

A MISSING LINK TO BE SUPPLIED The Schuylkill Traction and Shamokln and Mt. Canned Electric Railway Com panies to Build a Line From Ashland to Centralla. It now looks as if the chain of electric railways between Mahanoy City and Slm mokin is about to bo completed. In fact, Initial steps to that end have already been taken to construct the connecting link be tween Ashland and Centralia and assurances. aro given that the project will be pushed to s speedy completion. More than this it is an nounced that a chartor'for additional lilies to stretch out to Locust Gap and Gordon has been applied for. This new stop is the result of a conference held at the otllco of Dallas Sanders, president of the Schuylkill Traction Comimy, at Phil adelphia, between the leading bondholders of the Schuylkill Traction Co., and those of the Sliamokin-Mt. Carmel Electric Railway Com pany. The matter was then discussed in all its various phases. The Sliamokin-Mt. Car mel Electric Itailway Company are very anxious that these connections bo nude, and especially tho one between Centralia and Ashland. When the meeting adjourned everything looked very favorable for the construction of the lines. A gentleman prominent in the movement has stated positively that the line fiuui Ash laud to Centralia will be built, and thus form tho connecting link between tho Schuylkill Traction Co. and the Shaniokin-Mt. Carmel Electric Itailway Co. systems. Thu former company have not got tho power at their plant to run the new lino, but it ealtand will bo furnished from the latter company's plant at Green lildgc, and if in time tho lines from Ashland to Gordon and Locust Gap ore built it may be necessary to construct an additional power plant at Ashland. The cost of building tho line to Centralia from Ashland will not bo very much, but if tho other branches aro constructed it will run into very many thousands of dollars. At tho conference the gentlemen wore told that tho business men of Ashland were very desirous of having these roads built. It was decided to ask them to show just Itow much they were interested by subscribing for stock, and all will bo given an opportunity to do so within the coining two weeks..
