TO BE OPENED SEPT. 4
Every Reason to Believe That New
Y. M. G. A. Building Will Be
Then Ready for Occupancy.

1t is announced that the directors of
expect to have the magnificent new
building now in course Of construction
at the corner of North Washington ave-
nue. and Mulberry street formally
opened on or about Sept. 1. 1t is not
believed that it can be opened before
that time and still later date may
have to be eventually fixed.
The work of constructing the building
has met with numerous delays ever
since ground was first broken over a
year anG half ago. Building mater
ials have failed to arrive in time, sub
contractors have been eXasperatingly
slow in some instances and a scarcity
of workmen of certain classes has been
met with.
The building operations are now go
ing on uninterruptedly, however, and
an army Of carpenters, plasterers, glaZ-
iers, painters, plumbers and electricians
is at work on the interior of the big
structure. The exterior work has all
been completed and the work of finish
ing up the interior is now under way.
The rough plastering has been done
throughout the entire building and the
white coat has been put on the upper
floors. The plasterers are now working
down through the building. A good
deal of work remains yet to be done
on the auditorium on which very little
has been done, and the gymnasium is
also in an unfinished state.
The great work which remains yet
to be done is the decorating, which is
not included in Contractor Williams
contract. A separate contract for this
work remains yet to be let. Sufficient
funds for the construction of the build
ing and for the decorating have now
been pledged, and new subscriptions
are being received for the furnishings,
which will cost between $4,000 and
$4,000. An effort is also being made to
secure sufficient money to install an
electric light and power plant. The
money for the gymnasium equipment
has all been pledged, and the contract
has been let to Florey & Brooks.
There seems to be every prospect of
opening the building on Sept. |. No
active canvass for new members is be-
ing made just at present because the
directors realize that just as soon as
the building is opened there will be a
great rush of applications for member
ship. Already there are more than Il
sufficient number of applicants for the
eighty rooms on the upper floors, which
are to be let out to men.

JOHN JERMYN HOME.
Safely Withstood the Fatigue of His

John Jermyn arrived yesterday morn

tie the worse for the long tedious Jour-
ney. Thanks to the improvised hospl-
tai car and the care given him by mem-
bers of his family, Il physician, and
two trained nurses he was relieved i'm
measurably of the ordinary hardships
Of such trip.
When he was taken to his own room
at the Jermyn residence. corner of JEFF
ferson avenue and Vine street, the aged
invalid gave deep sigh of relief and
expressed himself as highly gratified
at reaching home.
That he might be given every op-
portunity to rest, his physician. Dr. A.
j. Connel ordered that no one be per-
mitted to visit the sick room. Hun
dreds called at the home yesterday to
inquire for the patients condition, but
the best word that could be given
them was that Mr.. Jermyn was Il very
sick man.
Mr.. Jermyn left for Pasadena, Cal,
Jan. {. with his wife. his daughter
Miss Emma, and youngest son, Rollo.
He was feeling i'll and thought that the
California climate would benefit him.
1t developed however, that 1t not only
did not benefit him but disagreed with
him to such an extent that DIR. Nc
Gowan. who was attending him, de-
cided that the only hope of prolongng
his life was in taking him away. Mr..
Jermyn wished to be taken home, and
as he had to be~moved at least beyond
the Rockies, it was decided to crafty
his wish.
His eldest son. Joseph j. Jsrmyn, who
went to his fathers bedside a month
ago, made every arrangement that
could possibly tighten the trip, and on
Thursday night the start was made.
The trip was made without incident,
and with no Immediately apparent
hardship to the patient.
There are hopes that the climate here
will aid in Mr.. Jermyn's recovery. The
hopes however are not the brightest.

HAS MARVELLOUS PROPERTIES.
A Fireproof Paint That Stands a
Severe Test.

A test of the fire-resisting qualities of
the Niagara fireproof paint was made
last night at the corner of Adams ave-
nue. and Mulberry street, and it proved
beyond all question that the non-com-
bustible qualities of the paint are truly
marvellous.
A miniature house of seven eighth
inch dry, pine and hemlocl1 shingles
covered with only two coats of the fire.
proof paint, was subjected for twenty
minutes to a blaze from oil-soaked
kindling wood, paper, packing material
and the like. piled all around and on
top of it, and after the fire had burned
out the paint-protected house was dug
out from the embers of the bonfire al
most unharlned. Under the caves and
along the edges OF the projecting
shingles the fire had gotten underneath
the paint and charred the wood. On the
flat surface, however, the wood was
only blackened, or, at the most, slightly
charred. The 500 persons who witnessed
the test could not restrain cheer when
the practically unharmed miniature
house was rescued from the heart of
the fierce bonfire.
The paint is manufactured by the In
dependent Roofing and Paint company,
and is the invention of T. A. Gould, OF
Syracuse. The local manager of the
company is A. f. Golden.

occupy some of the leading pulpits in
his own state. Every church which he
has served has been the better because
of his helpful ministration. and while
other preachers complained of small
congregations, his church was crowded
to the doors. There is Il magnetism
about Dr. Upham that cannot be de-
scribed in words. He simply gets hold
of congregation in the very beginning
and holds them spellbound to the end,
swaying his audience like the wind does
the branches of a tree.
NAMED FOR BISHOP.
He is elected to the general confer-
ence, the highest legislative body in the
church, as regularly as the four years
come around. A general conference
without DR.. Upham would not be COM
plete. Twice his name has been promi-
nently mentioned for the Office of
bishop, and il all signs do not fail the
next quadrenium it will be Bishop Up
ham. In constant demand for the dedf-
cation of churches it is no easy task to
secure his service. The Embury peo-
pie are to be congratulated.
The former pastors who have been in
vited to speak at the afternoon rally
are Revs. w. r. Netherton, H. B. Bene-
dict, c. H. Hayes, A. w. Cooper, F. p.
Doty. These men were popular pas
tors, and their many friends will be
glad to see them and extend them a
hearty welcome
Rev. j. b. Sweet, d. D., who breaches
the evening sermon, is too well-known
in Scranton to need much of an intro
duction. He was pastor of the Simp-
son Methodist Episcopal church for five
years, and during his pastorate there
the congregation grew TO such an oy-
tent that chairs were frequently placed
in the aisles at the evening service. He
is a most enthusiastic speaker and al
ways presents something entertaining.
The annual conference has just hon.
ored him by appointing him presiding
elder OF the Binghamton district.
A UNIQUE CHARACTER
Joseph Wesley Powell, who is to
speak at all the services, is the most
unique character of the present day.
He is the national organizer of the
Brotherhood of st. Paul. a man of rare
gifts and a most entertaining speaker.
Mrs. Powell, who accompanies him and
who will sing in all the services, has Il
national reputation. a rich voice, with
plenty of volume, she always delights
her audiences.
Judging from the array of talent, the
Embury people are attempting to outdo
all the other churches.
