ANNUAL MEETING.
Programme That Has Been Arranged for
the Twenty.ninth Anniversary
of the Y. M. c. A.

An attractive programme has been
arranged for the twenty-ninth annual
meeting of the Scranton Young Mems
Christian association which will be
held in the Association hall on Satur-
day evening, April 10, at S O'Clock.
In addition to the complete reports
of the president, secretary and treas
urer and various committees, a spe-
cial committee will make a report on
the status of the movement for re-
modelling the gymnasium and putting
in the new natatorium. and will ask
the members present for instructions.
1t is to be hoped that every member of
the association as well as the subscrib-
ers to the work may be present and
take part in this discussion.
An attractive musical programme
will be rendered by a selected chorus
of male voices in charge of Musical Di-
rector J. NJ. Chance. Mr.. and Mrs.
Thiele. the popular violinist and So
prano, will also contribute two num-
hers.
Luther d. Wishard, the foreign Sec
retary of the Young Mems Christian
association international committee,
who made such a remarkable tour
among the colleges of India, China, ia
pan, Syria and southern Africa, and
whose work attracted worldwide at
tention because of the large numbers
of students in these various colleges
who were led to an acceptance of Chris
tianity through his work, will be pres
ent at this meeting and will give a de-
scription of the present remarka ble
movement among the colleges of the
Orient, which is the outgrowth of his
work and is now being carried on by
John R. Mott the present travelling col
lege secretary of the Worlds Fedora
tion of College Young Mems Christian
associations.
Mr. Wishard is a speaker of great
power and a man who has had an ex-
tended opportunity for studying the
conditions which surround Christian
work both in this country and through
out the world, having travelled over
more territory, perhaps, than almost
any other living leader in Christian
work. At a recent meeting which was
addressed by Mr.. Wishard, he attempt
ed to conclude his address at late
hour when the audience, almost with
out exception, shouted for him to con-
tinue, so intense was the interest
aroused by the vivid recital of his ex-
periences in the conduct of the work
undertaken by him.
In connection with the service men
toned above, Mr.. Wishard will also
speak in the Penn Avenue Baptist
church on Sunday morning, and in the
Elm Park Methodist Episcopal church
on Sunday evening.

Pittston's police force, the newspa-
permen of two counties, an anxious lot
of relatives and any number of mys-
terry loving citizens of the next city be-
low us were put into lively state of
excitement last night by the following
letter left on the doorstep of the Pitts
ton Item office:
Port Griffith, April s, 1897.
Whoever will find my body will notify
my friends in Scranton. Martin Mon
Afghan. of 1909 Price street. is my uncle,
also Thomas Barrett, of South Scranton,
is another uncle. If they won't bury me
my body can be used by Dr. Carroll of
Hyde Park, or his brother, Dr. Michael
Carroll of Plymouth. l am tired of lv-
ing Goodbye to everybody.
John Monaghan.
Despite the fact that he was letting
the opposition in on a copper-riveted
SCOOP City Editor Morris, of the Item,
notified the police and sent word to
the relatives in this city, telephoning
the grim message to DIR. Carroll, of
jackson street, and having him in turn
notify the life-wearied letter-writers
uncle, Martin Monaghan of 1909 Price
street, and Thomas Barrett, of the
South Side.
INQUIRIES FRUITLESS.
Inquiries were then set afoot for DR..
Carrolls legacy. Port Griffith people
knew nothing of any such individual as
John Monaghan. No one in Pittston
could be found who had any knowledge
of him. His relatives in this city knew
that there was such member of their
family but none of them had heard
anything from him in over a year, and
1t was news to them that he was in
Pittston. No CORY corpse had been
found lying around anywhere, and at
midnight the mystery was still un-
solved.
Monaghan lived in this city about six
years ago and was employed as a driver
by Dr. Carroll. He worked for him
about a year and then left to go to
Archibald where he worked in the mines
He also lived at Ashley for a time
and it is supposed at many other places
hereabouts as he was Of n rowing dis
position and never remained in any
one place for any great time. Since
leaving this city, six years age, it is
said that he made three trios to Ire
land. He was about 27 years of age
and unmarried.
ADVICE FROM THE DOCTOR.
About year ago, DR.. Carroll receiv.
cd a visit from Monaghan and was then
told by his ex-hostler that he intended
to commit suicide and make the doctor
a present of his body.
The doctor told him he didn't want
his body and advised him to keep it
himself. Whether or not Monaghan
has taken the advice will probably be
determined in a day or 50.
