QUINN GAVE EXHIBITION.
Displayed His Knowledge of the
Methods of Gamblers in the
Y. M. C. A. Rooms.

In the headquarters of the Young
Mems Christian association yesterday
afternoon John p. Quinn gave a talk
on gambling and incidentally exposed,
by practical illustrations, the way peo-
pie are fleeced and swindled by pro-
fessional card players At 2.3O o'clock
Rev. Robert +. Y. Pierce, of the Penn
Avenue Baptist church, introduced Mr..
Quinn to the audience, which was COM
posed of several prominent Scranton
divines and large number of laymen,
who had strolled in to see the pro-
Ceedings.
After the opening prayer by Rev. Mr.,
Pierce, Mr. Quinn expressed his desire
to start a crusade to blot out all the
gambling dens of this city. He then
proceeded to expose card tricks, by pro-
duel g pack of cards, and asking
some one to shuttle for him. An anus
ing incident took place here, as there
was an embarrassed halt as none of
the clerical gentlemen knew how 20
perform the feat
One of the laymen present, volun-
teered his services, and Mr.. Quinn then
dealt several hands, and on every uc-
casion knew what his opponent held,
almost before the latter did himself.
He then exposed the game of rouge
ct noir and followed this up by an
illustration of the roulette wheel on
a small scale. After this he mystiiel
his spectators by working the old, but
nevertheless powerful shell game on
them. Illustrations of games usually
practlced by strolling gamblers at
country fairs, circuses and the like,
We're given and Mr.. Quinn performed
some remarkable feats with dice.
After the expose the ministers con-
sidered whether or not they should
collaborate with Quinn and take ac-
tive measures to drive the gamblers
out of this city. After much debate,
1t was decided to draw up a set of
resolutions. Accordingly, the following
set was adopted:
We. the undersigned pastors Of Scran-
ton churches and Christian workers hav-
ing heard John p. Quinn, examined his
credentials and his methods of exposing
the nature Of gambling devices hereby
heartily endorse him and his work, and
request the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation TO arrange a public meeting for
Sunday afternoon, November 10, at $3.50
o'clock.

26 was to bridge over the difficulty
which has been existing there, hut he
wanted to know what this difficulty
was ana IL there was any attempt be-
Ing made to shield any one Chair
man Phillips said that the cnaD Dge was
made at the request of Miss Blewitt
herself and that the whole affair was
OF a rather trivial nature. This expla-
nation was accepted and the report was
adopted.
on motion of Mr. Langan it was
decided to notify the electric light
company that they were to dsconncct
their wires after the night school sea-
son of four months had been COM
pletcd in order that the boaru would
not be required to nay anything dur
ing the remaining eight morths.
Mr.. Jennings moved that Engineer
Harris be instructed to prepare a set
OF rules regulating the temperature
OF tho school rooms in the various
buildings and that these rules he print
ed a"d posted in every school room and
that they be made absolute. He said
his reasons for introducing this was
because he had learned that there Is a
wide diversity Of opinion among toa ach-
ture, some wanting It Sc and some GO.
The motion was unanimously carried.
A recommendation from Superintend-
ent HoWells for the purchase of music
charts and physiological manik!ns was
adopted and the purchase of the arti-
cles ordered.
Chairman Leonard, of the text book
committee, then read a number of
/ "
! ed paid. The total amount was be.
tween $1,000 and $4,000. M Jennings
objected TO the payment Of a bill OF
! ]. 3. LiDpncott g, Co.. for 1850. for
/ 1000 academic dictionaries at s1.25
/ apiece. His objection provoked quite
/ a warm and lively debate.
OBJECTION RAISED.
He said that when these dictionar-
! les were formerly purchased from his
company that they agreed to give an
unabridged dictionary with every fifty
Of the smaller ones. This. he soid, they
had not done in this case ana the bill
should not be paid till they did.
Mr.. Leonard and several others took
exceptions to this, claiming that the
new order was not the same as the
former one and did not include this
feature. Mr.. jennings called for the
order sent the company and when read
/ it showed that the words, same rs
| former order" We're included. A mo-
tiOn was carried providing that the bin
be not paid until the unabridged dc
tionaries were furnished.
Mr.. Jennings, who did most OF the
recommending and moving last night
again took 4 hand and made a motion
that all the unused text books, OF
which there are now over 1000, be re.
turned to the publishers and that
! credit be given the board by the lat
ter. The motion was carried the board
then adjourning.
About twenty night schools were OPP
ened in various wards last evening, the
teachers being those selected by TIL.
school directors of these wards. Those
| will act urtil the board confirms then
| appointments. No action was talk ear
last evening because the teachers com.
mittee did net report on the matter.

One of the most picturesque and de-
lightful sections of North Carolina, is
what's known as the Sapphire Country,
This section is located near Brevard,
N. c., at an average altitude of 5000
feet, and abounds in many beautiful
streams and grand waterfalls.
Of the many attractive features, per-
haps one of the most interesting and
picturesque points are Fairfield and
Sapphioe Lakes. No where else in
the south at this altitude are there
such bodies Of water. There are tow
ering cliffs, rising abruptly for thou
sand foot from their shores and cas-
dades of rare beauty falling directly
into the lakes from the lofty table land
surrounding.
On account of the elevation of this
section, it is very healthy, and particu-
larly adapted to those troubled with
hay fever, being also free from all ma
laria or other diseases. A record of
the temperature kept at Sapphire for
four years, shows an average of SO de-
grees for the entire summer.
Sapphire Inn, Fairfield Inn, and the
Lodge, afford excellent accommoda-
tions for guests.
For further information regarding
the Sapphire country, call on any agent
of the Southern railway, or write G. A
Benscoter, A. G.. p. A., Chattanooga,
Tenn, for descriptive pamphlet.

upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us bottle
of DIR. Kings New Discovery for con-
sumption, and was so much relieved on
taking first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.

Asheville, N. C.

Few regions have been, are richly
endowed by nature than that famous
section of Western North Carolina
practically termed the Land OF the
Sky" 1t has a climate SO dry, and
health-giving that it has become known
the world over as natural sanitarium
for the cure Of all troubles of pulmon-
ary nature.
Asheville, the centre of this beauti-
full mountain-homed plateau, is the
highest city east of Denver, and is
busy, thriving place of $4,000 inhabi-
tants, with all the moderisms Of city
life. The city lies just at the point
where the beautiful FIence Broad and
Swannanoa rivers JOIN their crystal
waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs
many people of wealth haye built beau
tiful and expensive homes, most nota-
BILE among them being the chateau of
Mr.. George W. Vanderbilt, which with
its great estate, has cost upwards of
four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year sesort,
for the great mountains protect it in
the winter from the cold winds, and
its sumer climate is made delightful
because OF its altitude.
For descriptive matter of Asheville
and vicinity call on any Southern Rail
way agent.
