Knitting Mills Suffering from Lack Of
Orders...feared That Operations.
Will Soon Be Suspended.

Because of lack of orders the Lacka-
wanna Knitting mills on Brook street
are preparing to shut down. 1t takes
about ten days to clear up all the work,
when stoppage of work is contemplated,
and it can be expected that in that
time, unless new orders come in mean
while, the mills will suspend operations.
Usually the trade keeps up 50 that in
a year an average of eleven full months
are worked. There is in this business
a dull season in the fall. when all wool
en- mills are affected. The present de-
preston is assigned to the uncertainty
which attends Il presidential campaign.
The free silver craze has something to
do with it, also.

rnH CHURCH CLUB MOVEMENT

THH CHURCH CLUB MOVEMENT.
 The Church club of St Johns recently epi yed an able address by Rev H. N
 Cunningham, the popular rector of Christ church, Watertown. His subject was ''The Church club movement in the Epi-copal church as applied to parishes" He poke in substance as follows: The Church club movement has for some time past been gaining favor in the Episcopal church. In New York, Massachusetts, Chicago, Connecticut, Rochester, N. r., and other sections, much good has been accomplished, and many laymen brought to take more in tellIgent view of the church and her work. These clubs have as few rules as possible, and, while unlike the Brother hood of St Andrew, dispense with bind ing obligations. The object is mainly social and educational. h every parish and in every diocese, there are laymen who do no not see their way to entering into societies whose obligations are se- were. but who will gladly associate themselves with the organization of the church club. The frank talk for which opportunity Is given by the meetings of such clubs will often remove misunder- standings which might become serious in the parish meeting. Regular meet iugs need not be too numerous, and if possible visiting clergymen or laymen should be asked to read papers or make addresses upon subjects relating to the ministry, organizations and on polity of the church. To those who are willing to brighten and strengthen their lives by service. which may constitute happiness, opoortunities will frequently open them. selves. Those who seek are sure to find.
