Some of Their Good Works.

That old time ideas fail to accomplish
later day results Is generally accepted
as fact rather than a theory. This
view has been SO broadly accepted that
1t has permeated business, particularly,
is observed in politics and has even be-
come apparent in a greater or less de-
gree, in religious matters.
An Illustration is offered In the old
and the new Young Mems Christian
association. The variety of works and
purposes Of the old association are not
now regarded as legitimate work. The
truth OF this is proved in the fact that
the great success of the old association
dates from the time its work began to
be limited strictly to the needs of young
men, provided for in a nineteenth GEN.
tury fashion.

1878 the new life of the association began
to be felt During the years Immediate
ly preceding, Mr.. Sturges and his law
partner, C. w. Hartley, had conducted
the turbulent and memorable campaign
against illegal liquor traffic. Under
Mr.. Sturges' direction the association
continued its activities along this line,
but, unfortunately, no authentic data
is now available, as he made his re-
port verbally on June 5, 1874, and no
record or details remain.
Many: Works Accomplished.
During 1874 the work of the associa-
ton under the presidency of Colonel f.
L. Hitchcock, who, three years later
was again selected for the position,
broadened and did much good. The re-
ligious work was particularly nodded to
meet the tastes of young men, the Ii
brary was increased to 1,47O volumes
and 81 l,625 were required for expenses.
In July William Hadden, the general
secretary, was succeeded by DR.. Thomas
McCune, who volunteered his services.
The Park Place Methodist Episcopal
chapel was built at cost of Sl,269.25, a
branch association with forty-five men,

DESTROYED by Fire.

Destroyed by Fire.
On June IS, 1877, the Exchange block
was destroyed by fire and the entire
possessions of the association were
consumed An insurance of $1,000 was
used in furnishing new quarters in the
Trust Company building on Wyoming
avenue. The library, museum and
records were destroyed in the fire and
their loss is all the more irreparable be-
cause the offices of Colonel Boies and
Mr.. Sturges, two former presidents,
We're also burned and contained indi-
vidual records and papers pertaining to
the association.
At this time there was no paid secre-
tary. r. II. Roe, however. devoted
large portion of his time to the duties
of secretary until February 1878.
Such are a few, briefly stated facts
Of the early life of the association,
which are all the more interesting when
compared with its more recent history
and present position. Scranton was
then in it's swaddling clothes and was
not the lusty, booming city of many
people, wealth and commerce of today.
The start of the Young Mems Christian
association was, in Its endeavor i'm
pulse and gait on a par with the busi-
ness enterprise which made the present
municipality.

FIRST.ClASS COFFEE.
An Ideal, Delicious Cup Can Be Mads
 Only One Way.

An Ideal, Delicious Cup Can Be Mads
 Only One Way.
 An ideal cup of coffee can, 1t is said, be made only in one way. The coffee must be of the best quality and must be assorted, ground immediately and used as quickly as possibly. Connois. scurs in coffee assure us that it is out of the question to make this beverage absolutely perfect out of factory roasted coffee that has been allowed to stand in the open air any number of hours, and, in addition, one might say that such thing as cup of good cof. fee from that which is purchased ready ground is quite an impossibility. The fine aroma of the berry cvaporates in @ very short time. Given the freshly roasted and ground coffee, an earthen coffeepot heated very hot by being filled with boiling water, which must be poured out again, and coffee bag strainer. Then put in the coffee, ground very fine, almost to powder. Pour upon it boiling water-not merely hot cover tightly and allow the coffee to filter through. Have ready the cups heated by pouring boiling water in them, put in the required quantity of cream and sugar, then fill up with the distilled nectar from the coffeepot, and one has a beverage that an exchange calls revelation. Never expect good results from poor coffee or lukewarm water and half cold utensils.

arrived at matured conclusions the people need have no fear of their an nouncement in clear and unmistakabi terms Whatever position is finally assumed will be found to be consistent with the past declarations of the party. ot this at least the people of the whole country may rest assured. It is a matter of justified pride in republicans that their party has never yet written national platform which was not consistent with it's past attitude upon any public question which outlived an administration. 1t will not do so now. In due season the republican party will put itself on record as to every great national issue of the approach ing campaign. When it does so the American people will be given re- newed evidence that it has lost none of its power and vigor and ability to solve the political problems of the time. Francisco Call.
