FIRST ANNIVERSARY.
Event Celebrated by the North
Scranton Branch of Young Wo-
mems Christian Association.

The first anniversary of the North
Scranton branch of the Young Wo-
mems Christian association was cele-
brated yesterday afternoon by spe-
cial service held in the Providence
Methodist Episcopal church, which was
attended by very large number of
members and friends of the associa-
ticn.
Mrs. Ezra II. Ripple, the president of
the Central association, presided, and
under her direction a song service
was given, commencing the exercises
Mrs. j. II. Peck then read
the second chapter of Hebrews
and after a selection by the Young
Womens Christian association orches-
ira Miss Charlotte Savage offered
prayer. She was followed by the North
Scranton secretary, Miss Anna V. Mus
selman, who gave a brief resume of
the work accomplished by the branch
since its inception one year ago.
The movement for the organization of
the branch was started Jan. :, 1899,
and one week later, $1S4 having been
subscribed, the present home of the
association at 20iS North Main avenue
was rented, and thrown open to the
public on Feb. 20. Not until August,
however, was "a secretary engaged.
There are now 105 active members.
During the year there have been 469
in attendance at the educational
classes; 1856 at the various entertain
ments; 779 at religious exercises and
total of 1866 in attendance at the
rooms for various purposes. There are
now gymnastic, piano. sewing and En-
glish classes. Twenty little girls are
learning once a week the difficult art
of housekeeping in all it phases. The
receipts for the year were $4I1.65 and
the expenses actually the same. For
the coming year there have already
been subscribed 800 and four tons OF
coal.
After Miss Musselman had finished
Mrs. B. Il. Jayne rendered a soprano
solo In her usual acceptable style and
then Mrs. l.. NJ. Gates delivered one OF

the daily papers Of this vicinity. His
literary efforts have also found their
way into the metropolitan dailies.
A few years ago it seemed that the
law would draw him from the field OF
newspaper work. for he gave up his
regular contributions to the newspa-
pers to an extent and turned his at
tention to the study of law. Before he
had completed the prescribed course.
however, he was called to the helm OF
the Archibald Citizen. of which he Is
now owner and editor. Under his
guidance it has become one of the fore
most weeklies of this region. He was
spoken of for the nomination for rep
rcsentative two years ago. but declined
to go into the convention because
he felt that the Hon. John l.. Reynolds
was entitled to a nomination for a
second term for his splendid work
during the term he spent in the legis-
lature.

SCARLET FEVER.
Editor DemOcrat.Star.


The carelessness or ignorance in the
families of scarlet fever patients is ap-
palling, and under certain conditions
would annihilate the child population
Of our town.
When scarlet fever is discovered the
patient must be isolated in separate
room and under no circumstances should
q member of that family attend school
or places of worship. No one has the
right to endanger the life of his neigh
boris child. The eminent DR.. II. v.
Pierce in his splendid "Common Sense
Medical Adviser" says: "Catnip, pen
nyroyal or plennoyroot tea, containing
one teaspoonful Of extract of smart
weed may be given to drive the rash to
the surface. and the skin
should be sponged with tepid water,
different parts being exposed success
sively. Cold drinks are suitable. En-
phatically this disease needA Agood ply
sician, whose instructions Should be
followed to the letter, as this disease is a
most dangerous one If conditions are
favorable. In week or ten days the
scaling off commences, and the child
must not be allowed to mix with others
until two weeks thereafter. Clothing
and the room of the patient must be
thoroughly disinfected-a summing will
not do. II you do not do all in your
power to eradicate this disease, you are
criminally negligent or ignorant, and
may be the cause Of putting little one
under the ground.
The writer lost brother and two sis.
ters in less than ten days, in an epidemic
north Of here; and in conclusion will
say that this article ought to have come

,sATH OF SAMUEL X. MAYsas.


The subject Of this sketch was born in
Handsboro, Miss, on February Is, 1857,
died in Mobile, Ala, on Sunday, Septem-
ber $4,000, which Of course made him
43 years, 7months and IA days old at the
time Of his death. lie was the only son
Of capt. p. X. Mayors and Elizabeth
Hampstead. He was married fifteen
years ago in Mobile to Miss Maria A.ex-
ander, o most estimable and worthy
young lady Of that city, who survives
him with three children.
The writer hereof first knew Sam
when school boy and saw him grow to
sturdy manhood, and in both stages of
life he was the same noble-hearted, gen.
erous friend. Generous, did I say? yes,
almost to fault. In all the walks OF
life he was the true gentleman in his
dealings with his fellow-man. AS SOL
dier, brave and chivalrous, as yellow
fever nurse, kind and gentle to the suf-
fering, and as business man, prompt
and alert. His was q cheerful nature.
He always appeared to be in merry
humor, and had kind word and acheer-
full smile and hearty handshake for his
friends. Let the sky be ever SO cold,
gloomy and sunless, happy smiles
danced like sunbeans on his cheerful
countenance. These characteristics won
for him large circle Of friends who
were grieved and shocked that the Grim
Reaper had cut him down, and that, too,
in the very prime and vigor of superb
manhood.
Time will never efface from memory
my first meeting with SAMMY" as
fond father and doting mother were
wont to call him. was young man,
hardly Is years old. He was fresh from
school, with every promise Of a bright
future before him. As an only child,
idolized by fond parents and every wish
gratified did not turn his head and cause
him to think himself superior to other
mortals not SO fortunately situated as he.
In modest and retiring manner he ex-
tended his hand to me, q stranger, and
from that moment he was endeared to
me, and the impression increased by in
innate association, and though separated
by distance and the lapse Of years, moth
ing but pleasant memories remain OF
the departed, but tears dim the eyes
when think of incidents in our lives ut
dear old Handsboro. Farewell, friend,
the clay never covered truer or more
generous friend.
Ideeply sympathize with his father,
wife and three little children and other
relatives in their sad bereavement, but
he is free from the turmoil and strife OF
fthis life, remembering that even "this
vile body" sown in corruption and dis
honor, and decaying, shall live again in
new form, and finding its home in q
world, where the sky is ever bright and
the air ever balmy, it shall die no more
United again to its spirit, death shall
never part them. He shall then be what
he had never been before, perfect
whole. W. A. II.
