and returned to the industrial world.
Second-Advanced cases Will be cared
for in the most humane way, Under the
best sanitary precautions, and at u
place so near at hand that they eau be
frequently visited by their relatives.
Third-Every patient at the sani-
tarium, instead of being q danger to
the community. will he kept under
sanitary conditions which will make
him absolutely harmless.
In this way the spread of the disease
from case to case is at once stopped
For each case treated in the sanitaripm
probably from two to four other cases
will be prevented. 1t is perhaps this
phase of the work which will appeal
most of all to those having the welfare
of our people at heart We have many
institutions for the cure Of disease,
but none for its prevention.
Great as the advantage of this insti-
tuition would be from humanitarian
standpoint, it's usefulness from finan-
cial aspect is no less important. The
health OF a city IL always one OF its
bes. assets" Scranton Is now healthy
city and 1t can be made much more so.

LAST NIGHT OF THE FAIR,
Universalists Bring Bazaar to Close
with Comedy Drama.

Yesterday was the third and conclud-
ing day of the fair given under the
auspices Of the Ladies' Aid society of
All Souls Universaiist church in Guern-
sey Hall. The fair has been great
success and several hundred dollars
has been realized toward the fund for
new church.
AS the principal attraction of the fair
last evening was set aside for the pre-
sentation of two act comedy drama
entitled "Mr. Bob" which was rendered
by local amateur talent in a capable
and really praiseworthy manner The
comedy was full of complex situations
and laughable tangles.
MIS-. Ella Loomis, as Katherine Rog-
ers, enacted the role of a mischief low
ing young woman, who by her descrip-
tion OF her college chum misleads her
cousin into believing her to be of the
masculine persuasion, and hence the
root OF the misunderstanding. Her
presentation of the light hearted and
care-free kitty" was spirited and nat
ural. Miss Emma Eldridge, as Marion
Bryant, the chum, nicknamed Bob"
was an unaffected and charming young
graduate who enjoyed a joke as well,
but in quieter way than "Kitty."
Miss Maude DEBUT, as Rebecca Luke,
maiden lady with monomania for
homeless cats, gave very clever inn
personation, while Mrs. John VanMiller
as Patty" a "stoige- struck" parlor
maid, captured the majority of the
hearty laughs, Harry Murphy, as
Philip Royson; w. ii. Estabrook, as
Robert Brown, and William Townsend,
as jenkins, all had plenty of action
and acquitted themselves creditably.
Mr., Townsend's impersonation of
coekney butler was very clever.
The play was staged handsomely and
was under the management of Mrs.
Thomas B. Payne, wife of the pastor
OF the universalist church. Mrs. John
f. Hallstead played several selections
on the piano before and during the
comedy.

active one in all countries Many sep
arate cities have begun the work and
are rapidly reducing the mortality from
the disease. With the work already
begun by the LackaWanna County
Medical society and that projected by
the bureau of health, the added scope
or the Society for the Prevention and
Cure of Consumption will make Scran-
ton, in this respect. the banner city of
the United States. and probably of
Europe, in the efficiency of it's methods
both for preventing the spread of the
disease and for caring for the actual
sufferers. We need bear the burden of
consumption and yield up our needless
sacrifice of one hundred people year
only as long as we choose to.
Need of Sanitarium.
A very cogent proof of the practical
need for IL sanitarium lies in the fact
that the Lackawanna County Medical
society has recently started the sub
scription list with pledge Of $500. For
the establishment of the complete plan,
$25,0oO will be needed.
This work is one of simple humanity
not of charity. 1t is fully time that
consumption should not be allowed to
continue it's ravages among us unchal-
lenSed. And it is fully time that those
afflicted should not be left to their own
recourses. but should be provided for
While they are still durable.
Anyone can become a member of the
society by the payment Of $40 or more
yearly, and a patron of the society by
the payment Of 500 or more yearly AS
above stated, a bed may be endowed in
perpetuity for $1,000, and a memorial
pavilion built for $4,000. Besides these
stated amounts. any contribution, large
or small, is earnestly requested. Money
so received will go directly to relieve
human suffering in an especially
pitiable class among our own neigh
bors Each $500 will save human life
q year, and every dollar contributed
will go to fight one of the city's worst
enemies and will he spent in the most
efficient way to prevent the appearance
Of consumption in the homes OF each
anu every one of us.
Subscriptions to membership, contri-
buttons, etc, may be sent to the secre-
tary at 62I Linden street.
Additional donations for the hospital
to the extent of $3,600 We're acknowl-
edged yesterday.

the projected paviiions where the same
disease is to be grappled with and con-
quered. The cost Of such a memorial
is $4,000. A bed can be endowed in per-
petuity for $1,000.
There are but few people In this
city who can not think Of some friend
or acquaintance who has recently died
or is still suffering from consumption,
and 1t is for Just these friends that aid
Is now asked. Now. unless the sufferer
is very well-to-do, there ia but one out
come Under our present provisions the
poor consnmptive has no path but one
leading straight down, and in his
course he infects others as he goes. II
is Tor these people that the society begs
for means to offer "a chance for Il per-
manent cure.
Besides maintaining the sanitarium,
the society intends to open dispensar-
les for diseases of the lungs, in APP
propriato parts of the city, to provide
visiting nurses for poor consumptives
who do not care to go to the sani-
tarum, and to foster all means look
ing to the spread of the disease.
1t is we'll known that the struggle
against consumption is becoming an

Among the numerous benefcent char
des of Scranton there is one class
which should especially appeal to the
sympathy of all, which is at present
absolutely unprovjded for.
These are the sufferers from con-
sumption.
IN all this prosperous valley, from
Carbondale to Wilkes Barre, there is
not hospital which will take these
patients and, indeed. these hospitals
are not adapted either as to site or ac-
rommodations for the treatment and
cure of consumption. The result is that
consumptives. instead of being pro-
vded for early in the disease, when
they can be cured, are now allowed to
go on until they become a helpless
burden or their relatives.
This matter has been the subject of
much thought among practical ptilan-
thropists and physicians in this city.
and to iii this need there has been
formed The Society for the Prevention
and Cure of Consumption. with the fol-
lowing board of managers: Hon. n.
y. Knapp, chairman: Rt. Rev. Nj. j.
Hoban, Rev. Rogers Israel y. D., Reese
Brooks, DR.. A. j! Cornel! and DR.. j. NJ

Inc immaculate work which the sDci-
ETY. has set for itself is the stablsi-
ment of q sanitarium in the vicinity OF
the city. Robert Snyder has volun-

The sanitarium will prevent the need
less infection of at least twenty to
thirty people q year and enable them
to continue in their places as producers.
A human being is considered TO be
worth $1,000 to the state This item
gives q saving of at least $4,000 to
$30,000 sum which would several
times cover the cost of the SaDitarium
each year. To this sum can be added
the value of the individuals cured and
returned to work. Furthermore, the
advanced cases. instead of becoming an
added burden to their relatives will be
cared for in the most economic, etfici-
ent and humane way.
