Personal pnras raphs.
The many friends of Rev. ID. p. Jones
will regret to hear that he Is again in
disposed. Last week Mr.. Jones was
gradually recovering from a severe at
tack of rheumatic fever which had
compelled him to remain in his room
for several weeks. On Sunday morning
he attended his church and preached an
able sermon, but in the evening was
stricken with bronchitis and was yes
terday reported to be improving. Mr..
Jones has always been jealous in dis
charging his duties, and his anxiety to
resume work before he was physically
capable Is the cause of his renewed
indisposition. During his illness, how
ever, he has been honored by his nomi-
nation as a life-member of the Ameri-
can board of commissioners for foreign
missions, a citizen of Scranton having
paid the fee of $50.
The Welsh Congregationallsts of
Scranton have lost valued helper in
Mrs. Thomas j. Lewis, of Hyde Park.
Mrs. Lewis, who was gifted singer,
has for many years assisted at the
Welsh church in Prov idence, and upon
the last occasion she attended divine
worship she sang beautiful solo at the
Tabernacle church, Hyde Park. She
also rendered great assistance with the
Cymmrodorion choir upon their visit to
the Worlds fair The funeral took
place yesterday and was very largely
attended.
Rev. w. S. Jones entertained the
Misses DeMoss and Mine Foreman d.
]. Evans entertained the Brothers De-
Moss during the week. The quartette
have given an excellent entertainment
at the various churches during their
visit.
Superintendent George Sanborn, of
the Rescue mission will address the
young men at the Young Mems Chris
tian association tomorrow afternoon.
Mr.. Sanborn should draw a large audi
ence, as his experience in religious work
has been so extensive that his disserta-
tions are always full of interest.

of the Providence Methodist Episcopal
church at his residence on Main avenue
last night. Mr.. Silkman is one Of the
Oldest members of the choir.
