en- by unanimous vote. For vice-presi-
dent there We're two candidates, w. II.
Taylor and John Il. Porter. The latter

citys best citizens. He referred briefly
to the development of the Board of

In concluding he advised his hearers

The removal to Buffalo OF the works OF the
Lackawanna Iron ard Steel company has pro.
eressed steadily during the greater part OF The
year. The abandonment of the plant has beeen
so gradual that there is no percPptible effect
upon the business conditions of the city. What
was at first thought would he an almost irTe.
concilablc blow to our industrial future, has, il
dame rumor can be relied upon, proved a bless
ing in disguise. Do | hear ''Sour grapes!" Not
so, for it is an mdisputed fact, that for the past
ten years these WORKS have for some unaccount-
able reason been operated to the detrmeut of the
city of Scranton-workng less than half time,
keeping its vast army of men on the ragged edge
OF expectancy and at tho very doors OF poverty.
II is therefore with more than the ordinary
degree of appreciation that we welcome the new
enterprise that is soon to take possession of the
greater part of the plot vacated by the steel
company ON the very best authority it is
learned that the Rapid Transit Railway company
will erect power plants, passenger and freight
depots and shops, and that the Westinghouse peo-
pie will build largo factories for the manufac-
ture of electrical apparatus with which to equip
this as well az other railroads throughout tho
country. Full details oi this new enterprise can
not now he given out hut the public can be as
surcd Of the ultimate realization of its fondest
hopes in this report Therefore in face of tic
fact that Scranton Is lust now passing through a

On the evening of December 81 there
will be an impressive scene in in Trinity
Methodist Episcopal church in Spring

ent. w. D. Mcdowell, secretary OF the
Methodist board of education, Will also
be present Neither of these two men.
however, will get the interest and at
tention which will be given to third
man who, three years ago, was a pre-
siding elder of excellent reputation but
of no great renown. That man IS Ed
rnund NJ Mills. On the evening OF De
ceynber 81 in Trinity church, at mid
night, DR. Mills will make the announce
nent that he has raised the last dollar
of the s20,O00.000 Methodist thank offer
ing fund.
For three years DR.. Mills has been
giving the thank offering fund his Whole
time. His headquarters are said to look
like bank and a mail order house put
together. The amount of speaking,
writing and comforting which DR.. Mills
methods required has been tremendous.
The executive officers of the Methodist
church all have push and dash Whlch
the promoters of Texas oil we'll COM
however, has any Methodist officer been
able to look back at three years OF
greater accomplishment than those
which Dr. Mills is now rounding out.
The ends to which the Methodists Will
apply their $4,000, 900 are interesting
There will be about S. 600, 600 applied to
education. Syracuse university and ONO
wesleyan university will get over $1,000
900 apiece. Education being thus aided,
there will be about SS,000000 set aside
for church Indebtedness. There will also
be large sum for hospitals and another
large sum for retired ministers. Such,
at any rate. are the statements that
have been given to the press.
The most significant fact with regard
to the people who have contributed to
the thank offering fund is that they are
of the rank and file. DR.. Mills has re-
ported few gifts of stuDendous size.
This is where the giving power of the
Methodist church is explained. The
members of that church are neither the
sediments nor the froth of the modern
world. They are mainly people who
work hard, have steady, regular in
comes. live temporarily and spend little
ostenta tiously or superf1uously 1t is
from such people the money can be
raised. 1t. is from such people that the
Methodist $200OO,0O0 has been raised.
OF course, money is more plentiful now
than it used to be for people in the so
cial position of most members of the
Methodist church. and $50, 600, 900 in 1902
is a smaller sum than $4,000, 600 would
have been in 1872 This has to be re-
membered. Even so, however, the pres
ent $50 100000 is a great achievement.
The Methodists should have congra tula-
tons from their Neutrality-suspicious.

Senator Depew is exceedingly fond of
his young and beautiful wife and those
who know her declare he has good
reason to be proud of his choice. The
senator moreover does not hesitate to
avow his infatuation and is willing
that all the world should know it. In
his position he must frequently sub
nit to a course of questioning for the
benefit of So ne newspaper or magazine
article or for the adOrnment of the
pages of a work on Successful Ameri-

The senator never yawns nor seems
bored when this trial comes, but al
ways has a welcome for the inter-
viewer.
