MISAppLIED BENEvOLENCE.
Kansas City Woman Who IS Shudderiug
Over a Blundcr Made.

From the Kansas City Star.
There is a woman on the west side who
still shudders when she thinks Of a blum
der she made ono day last week in Sum-
nit street car. She Is an elderly woman,
with sons old enough to attend the High
school. and Is of mild and benign DISPOSE
tion. She does not see well without her
glasses, and to this she attributes her
misfortune.
About s o'clock in the evening of one Of
the very late cold days she had a seat In a
Summit street car. 1t was crowded with
shoppers and men going home from work.
Standing in front If her, with his back
turned to her, the I ar passengers saw q
very short man. He was having a hard
time keeping on his feet as the car lurched
from time to time with the slack of the
cable" He was too short to hold to the
straps, and the best he could do was to
hang to the man in front of him. look
OF sympathy passed over the benign-look-
ing woman's face as she witnessed his
struggles. When the car rounded the
curve at the corner Of Ninth and WASH
ington streets it gave frlghtful lurch.
The little man was taken Off his guard
and landed squarely in the woman's lap.
He tried to rise as fast as he could and
excuse himself when, to his surprise and
horror, he felt that she was holding him
where he was. He tried again to get up,
but she held him tighter than before.
That's all right. little boy, sit still, she
said kindly, with a smile.
Passengers were staring In amazement
at the unusual spectacle, and the ribbon
counter girl in the corner of the car tit
tered audibly.
The understood victim began to squirm,
but his captor attributed it to boyish em-
barrassment. 1t was only when he turned
his big round eyes on her and said, in q
deep bass voice: "Will you be kind enough
to let me CO. madam" that she discovered
that she had made a horrible mistake. She
had taken him for a mere boy, and her
motherly instinct had asserted itself at
seeing him stand UP In the crowded car.
Her confusion was painful to witness.
She stammered few words Of explana-
tion, which the short man was too ratified
to reply to. The passengers were cruel
enough to laugh, and they both looked as
though they wished themselves far away.
At the nearest corner she got out, her,
cheeks still crimson with modification.
The short man took her seat, jammed his.
hat down hard over his forehead, ana
buried himself N his newspaper.

Miss Rachel Folles, secretary of the
Central association, read the annual re-
port, in the opening statement of which
she said that the aim of the report was
to present in as brief a form as possible
the results Of the efforts during the
past year in achieving the four-fold
object Of the association, viz: the physi-
cal, intellectual, social and spiritual
improvement Of the young women of
Scranton. The efforts under the direc-
tion of the board of managers and gen.
eral secretary had been largely carried
on by thirteen committees having q
membership Of 1875.
Work Of tho Physical Department.
In the physical department great
advancement had been shown, no
members having been enrolled in the
gymnasium, nearly twice as many as
in the previous year. New apparatus
had been added to the equipment and
the arrangement of the room, in other
ways, had been made more convenient.
Nine classes met weekly, under the
careful instruction of Miss Shardlow,
until last December, and since that
time Miss Yeakle had acted as director.

WITH THE MUSICIANS.

Musical people have derived much
pleasure the past week listening to the
excellent band concerts given at Laurel
Hill park each afternoon by the Marine
band that has been secured by Mama
ger Laine. The concerts begin at 3
o'clock each afternoon, and the pro-
grammes rendered include classic and
popular numbers which are given in
good style by the band. There is no
more pleasant resort in which to spend
the warm summer afternoons in the
vicinity of Scranton than Laurel Hill
park, and intelligent citizens readily ap-
preciate the enterprise of Mr.. Laine.
The concerts will be given this after
noon and every afternoon next week in
the pagoda on the park grounds, and no
doubt many new visitors will join the
regular attendants in availing them
selves of the opportunity of enjoying
sweet music waited upon woodland
breeZes.
Miss Marie Warren, the Boston So
prano, is making quite hit at the Pa
vilion theater performances in Laurel
Hill park. Miss Warren, handsome
brunette, possesses a fine stage pres
ence and an excellent voice that has
aroused much favorable comment from
visitors at the park.
The piano recital by T. Reeves Jones
on Monday evening more than fulfilled
the expectations of the music-loving
people who filled Young Mems Chris
tian Association hall. During his alb
sence from the city MIR. Jones has made
marked improvement in manner or
execution and his entertainment was
one of the most enjoyable ever given at
Young Mems Christian Association
hall. Miss Sullivan, solo soprano at
Elm Park church, was heard for the
first time in concert work in Scranton,
and acquitted herself admirably in the
rendition of her portion of the enjoyable
programme.
Bauer's band gave pleasing open
air concert in front of the Westmins-
ter hotel last evening. Bauer's band'

1t Is to BE mighty Force.
Mr.. Baer concluded as follows: II
hope what has been stated will in some
degree assist all to see that Christian
Endeavor is to be a mighty force in Sc
curing better government. A promi-
nent politician in New York, speaking
of the Endeavor movement, is reported
to have said: 1T is becoming an influ-
ence that will yet work a complete revo-
luton in the state of New York But
1t Is not political organization at ALL
said friend. To this the politician re-
piled: The society will have all the
greater influence on that account
1.-THE politician was right. These
two million and a half of young people
are not going to band themselves into
any political body or party movement,
but they are, as individuals going to
stand for a more intelligent patriotism
and Christian citizenship everywhere"

New Choir at First Church.

The newly-organized chorus choir at
the FIRST Presbyterian church will
make its miiden effort at tomorrow's
twilight service, and there is much dis
cussion In musical circles as to the
feasibility and advisabilty of Tallie
Morgan's lates attempt in the culti-
walton of congregational singing. The
best argument, which, at the same
time, is weighty one, is that it will
considerably assist in the cultivation
of good and hearty congregational
singing, and this is great desidera-
tum in all churches and If Mr.. Morgan
Is successful in this achievement, he
will demonstrate the great resources of
the chorus choir where 1t is properly
conducted, and It's beneficial effects
upon the service at large.
