we're present and took part before a
good sized congregation. Mr. Huse was
the speaker, taking as his subject "The
wise and foolish builders" and gave a
plain and direct exposition Of Matt
Z: 4.27. In his word of Introduction
Mr.. Kimball recalled the loss Of spirit
among the soldiers of Napolean when
crossing the Alps In single file, and the
returning courage when they reached
the plains beyond and each man was
again supported by his fellows, and ex
pressed the conviction that more OF
neighboring in Christian work is mark
ing another increase In the courage of
all Christian workers. The aim Of these
services Is q revival of "true religion"

such prayerful cooperation among the

gational singing, an after meeting, and

Of A SOCIAL AND
PERSONAL NATURE

There are two things which are popularly sup
posed to be a subject of envy of mankind by
womankind One is the privilege of voting the
other is the banquet system, so long a close and
exclusive monopoly of men. All this in Scranton
was PREVIOUS to the rise OF the Green Ridge
Womens club. Now it is different. The annual
banquet of that club is likely to rival the New
England dinner, or any of the famous affairs
which occupied several columns in the next
mornings paper.
Last night eighty-six young women-there are
no old ones in clubs; it is those who are old
who do not desire TO join such organiza lion
as that of Green Ridge-sat at the charmingly
arranged tables in the Green Ridge Presbyterian
church. There was a brave array OF pretty
gowns and bright faces. The room was CAV
with quantities OF beautiful flowers and each of
the many tables, arranged in circular fashion,
was exquisitely decorated. The table at which
the president Mrs. l. j. lansing, presided, had
as a center.pece a mass OF lavender blossoms.
illuminated by myriad of tiny electric lights
in lavender tinted globes. Mrs. lansing was
presented with a corsage bouquet OF yioets,
which added to the tasteful effect Of the table
The menu printed on pretty little cards
cut in the shape OF an of clubs, to which
the name card was tied with the cluo colors. 1t
consisted of the following:
Chicken Patties. Green Peas
Potato CToquettes. Olives and Pickles
Waldorf Salad. Bread Sticks Almonds.
Ice Cream. Cake. Coffee. Bon Bons.
The toasts were as bright possible and the
responses were not only witty, but showed a
breadth Of thought and a happy philosophy.

ganize.
AS a Republican his loyalty has
never been denied or questioned. and
when others doubted he was never dis
mayed, but seemed to work all the
better where the fight was the hotter.
In the administration of his office,
during the years 1S95-96-97 he has
gained the goodwill and respect of
all who have had business with him
and with this record of usefulness to
his party, attention to the duties of
his office, and upright, sturdy man
hood, he ventures to ask at the hands
of the people to nominate him for the
office of recorder of deeds. pledging
for the future the same qualities
which have adorned his past service.

Cheaper Fares on the Lackawanna.


1t is the intention of the Lackawan-
ma railroad. as soon as the tariffs can
be prepared and distributed, to sell
round trip tickets between all stations
except between Buffalo and New York
and intermediate stations affected.
These round trip fares will be a ma
terial reduction from double the one
way fare and will be limited, going
to one day from date of sale, and. re-
turning TO thirty days from date of
sale. and will be good for continuous
passage only in each direction. Agents
first will be supplied with round trip
fares between stations on their divi-
sion and these will be followed by
inter-division fares. thereby enabling
them in a short time to sell round trip
tickets between all stations

LATEST AMERICAN NOTE TO THE
SULTAN IS PRACTICALLY AN
ULTIMATUM
PRODUCED GREAT IMPRESSION
No Disposition Shown by the Turks,
However, to Settle the Claims
Set Out In the De-
mands.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Thursday, April
26.-The American note handed to the
Turkish minister of foreign affairs, Tew-
fix Pasha, on Tuesday, is couehed in per-
emptory terms, demanding immediate
payment for the indemnity several times
promised to Minister Straus by the sui
tan. The note does not fix a time limit
for an answer, but it's tenor is not far
from the character of an I'll lsimatum. 1t
has produced a great impression upon the
Porte, which, however, shows no dispo-
sition to modify the. attitude hitherto
maintained, namely, repudiating the re-
sponsibility and seeking to diminish the
Importance of the matter. 1t, is presumed
that the Porte's reply will be in this
sense, and hence it is feared the United
States government will be obliged to take
steps to enforce its demands. Turkey S
decision to send an officer to America to
study naval construction Is interpreted to
be another sop. 1t is the revival of an
old project to buy a cruiser in the United
States, in the price of which the indem-
nifty shall be included, SO that the Porte
will be able to say it has not paid the
indemnity. The American government
has already categorically refused such a
compromise, which would mean prolonged
negotiations and the dragging out of the
matter indefinitely, to which the United
States will not listen. AS regards the in
demnity, it is in the nature of a debt of
honor. If the Porte wants to buy a
cruiser, that is a matter in no way con-
nected with the indemnity

The Bench Unanimously Sustans the Con-
tenton OF the Democratic Committee
That His Nominees Have No
Place on the Ticket

1t is a pretty desperate case which the
smash-up of the Bell conspiracy has
presented to the Republican gang poll
ticians, when a paper ordinarily as clever
in Its political references as the Dis
patch feels called on to declare 1t to be
a great victory for the Republican Iarty
AS matter Of fact, it cuts off the re-
naming hope which sanguine Republic
ans were wont to entertain of sreaking
back into Office through Democratic di-
vision or the merchantable character of
certain supposed Democratic influences.
Now, Mr.. McCardy, as we'll as Chet
Smith, is called on to stand up TO the
rack and save himself from the torture
of political defeat, if it is at all possible
And the possibility is so remote that odds
are now being laid against even of Nc
Cardy's being saved from the wreck.
HSp
The effort to create diversion has
been comparatively successful. For the
time being, while the public were con-
corning themselves about the slaughter
of the Bell contingent at Pottgieser's
drift, and while the G b g was en-
gagged in reviewing the tawdry false pre-
lenses Of McCardyism, the criminal rec
ord of the Republican police force admin
istration was being quietly covered out Of
sight. 1t. is the police infamy which
first aroused the feeling Of hopeless pop
ular hostility toward the present gang Of
cheap statesmen. The people were hav-
Ing brought to them, day after day, in
their homes and on the public streets
in the vicinity of their homes, the utter
worthlessness of the present gang to dis
charge even the fundamental duties de-
volving on those in charge of the affairs
of the community. 1t is the same record
of incompetence which has prevailed
from the outset which is being offered
for public examination day after day,
even during the progress of the cam
paign.
