MODEL BANKING ROOM.
II Has Been Fitted Up by the
Traders, Bank.


Only a few finishing touches have yet
to be placed on the fixtures and fur
nishings Of the banking room of the
Traders National bank in it's new
building at Wyoming avenue and
Spruce street and then the public will
be privileged to see one of the finest
apartments of the kind in the country.
Next Monday the bank will begin to do
business i'm the new building. The
preparations for the removal of the
books and other paraphernalia to be
taken to the new building from the
present stand on Lackawanna avenue
are under way and all will be ready to
transfer the business of the institution
to the new building on that day.
The outside of the building presents
a most pleasing aspect, but it does not
prepare one for what meets the eye on
entering the banking room. The outer,
or genral business office is in the shape
Of rotunda, about twenty-five feet
across, which forms a circle on three
sides around huge column of polished
Alpine green marble supporting a
handsome octhgonal desk for the pa
irons of the bank to arrange checks and
other pa pers before presenting them at
the windows.
To the right on entering is the direc-
tors room and on the left waiting
room for ladies and around the circles
are rooms for the cashier, bookkeeper,
teller and clerks. The circular desk Is
surmunted by bronze railing with the
regulation gates opening in and above
each the lettering designates the official
or employa engaged inside. The wood
work is superb. The ceiling Is laid out
in massive panels conforming to the
general style of the surroundings and
finished in cream tint and light green.
The lighting fixtures are of heavy sill
ver provided with electric globes and
gas tips, so that either illumination can
be used.
One important feature of the build
ing is the vault. 1t is situated to the
rear of the circular desk. almost oppO-
site the main entrance from Wyoming
avenue, and Is said to be one of the
most substantial in the state. Any
thing entrusted to the care of the
Traders people will be well guarded be-
hind that mass of iron and steel. On
Friday and Saturday the public Is IN
vited to call and examine the banks
apartments. ~

REV. j. K. DIXON, D. D.,
IS IN THE CITY
Conducted q Prayer Meeting Last Night
In Pam Avesue Baptist Church.
HAS NOT VET ACCEPTED THE CALL
Says That ON His Return to Asbury
Park He Will Make known His
Determination with Reference to
the Baptist Congregational His Re.
marks at the Meeting.

Rev. Joseph X. Dixon, d. D.. of Phila-
delphia, who has been extended a call
to the uastorate of the Penn Avenue
Baptist church came to Scranton yes
terday. He is accompanied by Mrs
Dixon and last night conducted the
weekly prayer meeting In the church
where he received a flattering reception
by a congregation that filled the large
auditorium.
Dr. Dixon has not intimated that he
will accept or decline the call nor will
he do SO during his present visit which
will last until tomorrow. He and Mrs
Dixon are being entertained at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Nathan Hallstead on
Mifliin avenue, where after last nights
service they received socially the off,
GERS of the church and their wives.
At the conclusion of the prayer meet
ing DR.. Dixon referred briefly to his
presence here. He said: "A minister's
son was asked IL his father had accept
ed the call to u cSrtain church. The
boy replied, No; pas praying for light,
but the trunks are packed. DR.. Dixon
remarked that the story illustrated his
case as far as the praying was concern
ed but he had not reached the point
where it was necessary to pack the
trunks.
To Tribune reporter he said his re-
ply to the call would not be made until
after his return to -Asbury Park where
he and his family have lately been So
journing. He liked Scranton and Its air
of New York hustle he liked to see
things whirl and carry on his religious
work in the midst of it.
While DR.. Dixon has not intlmated
what will be his decision the officers of
the church feel sanguine that the ar
dent and unanimous feature of the call
will have its effect and that Scranton
will secure a young and progressive
preacher whose characteristics are fully
i'm touch with the nature of the city.

1t would appear from yesterdays de-
velopments that the Hallstead bicycle
thieves, the Wilmot brothers, decided
to take along about as much of their
neighbor's property as they could con-
veniently carry when they made their
midnight exit Tuesday night.
A constable from Halstead came
here yesterday in response to Chief
Robling's telegram and upon going to
the station house found among the ar
ticles taken from the Wilmots, a re-
volver, box of cartridges and sack coat
which had been stolen from two diff
ferent places Tuesday night. Other
places were entered, it is supposed. by
the brothers. but If they got anything
they succeeded in disposing of it before
reaching this city.
The two prisoners. the bicycles and
the rest of the stolen property We're
taken back to Hallstead yesterday af-
ternoon.

II. Marion Crawford, the novelist,
who has met many Armenians in the
east, says Of them: IL doubt whether
they are tho innocent, confding, inof-
fonsiye Christians that the American
people believe them to be. My expert
ence with them Is that they are the
sharpest, shrewdest and trickiest Of all
the eastern people. They say in Turkey
that it takes ten Jews to equal one Ar
menian and five Armenians to equal
one Persian in sharp business dealings.
They have many able men among them,
and / doubt not that their leaders have
to certain extent fomented this trou-
BILE, hoping that the governments Of
Europe would interfere and that Arme-
MIA would be entirely freed from Turk
ish rule. "
In regard to the Turks he says II
would rather trade with a Turk or q
Jew in any part Of the east than with a
1 Christian. l have tho highest respect
for Christianity, but the Christians Of
the east are not like us. The business
men among them are to large extent
set Of sharpers, 80 much so that the
words oriental Christian in the minds Of
eastern travellers is almost synonymous
/ with that Of thief. The Turks are, as a
rule, very devout Nearly all Of them
read the Koran, and even the men Of
the better classes are careful to conform
to the details Of everyday MohAmmedan
worship. New York Tribune.

A man who had travelled much, SEQ
ing many lands and varied peoples,
confessed that he had never felt the
delight OF satisfied curiosity In such
fullness AZ on the day when he first
walked into London, mere youth, and
stood amid tho crowd and shops Of
Regent street. A born wanderer by ma
ture and possessed of the means to
crafty his desires, his fancy had fixed
on Kashmir, out Of many places full
Of wonder and romance. as land
where he should find truest enjoyment.
To foster this idea he avoided all books
that affected to treat Of Kashmir and
refused to believe that anybody had ever
been there In his imagination he saw
1t as region Of flowery valleys, soft
watered meads, peaceful vistas and per-
petual sunshine.
He duly reached Kashmir, and he
has long since returned, thing he once
thought might never happen. OF Kash-
mir ho speaks reasonably and with
calm appreciation. but ask him to tell
again Of how he first came to London,
and in answering his voice takes q tone
Of enthusiasm and mystery. He refuses
to sully the recollection by analysis or
dim it by any later disenchantment. He
was young then, and 1T was London. -
