Tans ind Btv. E. C. Applegirti. The Young Men's Christian Association ot PittEhnrg last evening commemorated the close of its fiscal ear by its twenty-lourth annual meeting, held in two sections, one in the First Presbyterian Church, Pittsburs, aud the other in the Second United Presb tenan Church, Allegheny.

The seating capacity of the Pirst Presbyterian Church was sorely taxed to accommodate the people present. The Allegheny church, too, was well filled. Combined, the two would have made a monster meeting. The fact of a necessity for holding joint meetings was in itself a sufficient indication of the growth and influence of the association. This year's annual meeting was the largest ever held.

Tne association has branched out in its work most wonderfully, and, according to the prospectus of the speakers, all things augur well for a still brighter future. An organ voluntary, anthem by thechoir, Scripture reading by Rev. Dr. A. H.

Nor-cross and prayer by Kev. Oliver J. Thatcher were the introductory features of the Pittsburc meeting, which led up to the reading of the annual report. EErOKT OF THE PKESIDEST. inson, was absent from the city, and the re- The Association's J.F.

Rob-port was read by Vice President Benjamin Thaw. Alter a short introduction, the report reads substantially as follows: To this audience little need be said lor the existence of the Young Men's Christian Association. Your presence here and the attendance of as man) at the joint meeting in our sister citv attests your svmpathv nith the work and indicates a de-ire for lnlormation as to hat is nelntrdone onr own city andelsenhereby the Young Men's Christian Association. It nil) not he known to you all that men hare gone from our own land to direct the otl. in Japin.

in China and in India, and that in the citv of Tokj Japan, there are two Association buildings the coat of which was borne chiefly by friends in this country. Not quite so far awav, in the city of Pans, the maintenance of the Young Men's Christian Association work and the prospect, a good one, of a building are largelj dee to the practical aid of American friends. These foreign branches of the work are supervised b) the World's Committee, with headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. In oar own country the International Committee, located in New York City, has control iif the general extension of the work and is loing a great work for the cane of Christ in the newer portions of onr land by means of Railroad Associations and in the older States lij means, of their traelingCollege Secretaries. Let me recite tnj on what, tbrouch the influence of the International Committee, is being done along the line of one railroad in our great "West, The Union Pacific Railroad Company, alter a ear's experiment in a small way, have authorized the outlay of K0.0C0 for permanent inestaientin the way of equipping rooms or buildings at 17 different points, with a early Balarv lit for secretaries to give their time to tne work of 517,000.

TEXSYLVANIA IJT ME ADVASCE. Thirty-two States now maintain State vrt Ionizations, fostering existing associations and" establishing new ones Pennsjlvania led the advance in this direction, being the first to employ a fatate Secretary. Mr. S. A Taggart, who addressed us last year, having filled that position most acceptahlj for many years.

He is now in the cniploj of the International Committee, doing effective service in furthering the extension work of that committee. As mentioned in ihe report rendered at this meeting a jear ago. a committee known as the Committee on btate and International Work had just been appointed, its object being to present this extension work to young men not accustomed to giving and to secure from them contributions for its maintenance. You will be interested to know that this committee have daring the past 5 ear secured from 5S yonng men in our membership, in amounts ranging 50 cents to 30, the sum of 470, in annual pledges, two-thirds of this being in amounts of 0 or less. In this connect iou, but addition Mo the foregoing.

SLM was contributed by six our members to the Tukyo buildings previously mentioned. It is the custom for each State to hold annually a convention for mutual information and encouragement. The associations of Pennsylvania held their 23d convention at Danville, two weeks ago. The convention was the largest ever held in this fctate, 517 accredited delegates being present: 235 of these were from college associations; the largest siugle delecation, numbering 46. came from the Indian Industrial School at Carlisle.

TEACHINGS OP A CONVENTION. The power of the gospel and the influence of a Christian education were clearly demonstrated by this delegation of Indians and par-ticnlarly by the speeches of individuals among them. There ere present at this convention, Jrom our own association and branches, 21 delegates, and the reports made by them, at the members' meeting a week ago, gave evidence the value of such a convention. And now. what of the past year at home? For six years we have enjoyed the advantages of having our own building, and in no other six jearsof our existence has such progress been inade.

Our building, when erected, was a model in design and was deemed amply large lor many years, bnt its capacity has long been ertaxed. both in the reading room and gymnasium and also in the educational class room, and the attendance at the members' course of entertainments, given in Old City Hall by reason of the limited capacity of the building, averaged the past year 1,217 persons. An encouraging feature of our work is the membership, which has had a steady growth each 5 ear since oar building was occupied. can report this rear a gain of So. a little greater than last vear, making our actual membership r.t the close of this year, OctoDer 31, 1,941, and, including branches, 2,692, GEEAT NEED OF A PLATGEOTJND.

The report goes on to state that since the association had to give up its athletic grounds on Xorth avenue, Allegheny, loaned by the Denny estate, it has greatly felt the need of some prominent place for outdoor amusements. The meetings during the year have been largely attended. The total attendance at the meetings, not including the social gatherings, was 165,143. Of this number the gymnasium brought 42,693. the evening classes 3,345.

and religious meetings 19,887. The East End, Xiawrenceville and Penn nvenue branches have greatly prospered during the year. The EastEud branch now lias suitable rooms in Liberty Hall, and has scent $0,500 fitting them up. It is now proposed to spend 53,500 more to fit up" the third floor as a gymnasium. Southside and Manchester are now the two localities toward which the attention of ihe association is directed, and it is hoped that each of these sections of the city will soon have a branch.

The report stated that 18 years ago there were in the State 15 working associations, and they held no property, and but three General Secretaries. Now there are 127 associations, owning property valued at SI 240,465, employing 95 men in all depart-ruents'of the work and having a membership of 25.000. A glowing tribute was paid to ex-General Secretary Orr, and also to his successor, J. B. Griggs.

MR. AFPLEGABTH'S addeess. Eev. Henry C. Applegartb, delivered rn address, following the reading of the report.

His subject was "Manliness." Said lie: "What the world wants isteanlymen. Manliness is not gcody-goodi-nessordamly-pandv-ness. It is these things that are disgusting. And what will more cause a revulsion of feeling than to see womanly man. A manly man is not like the saint that west up in a tower and never came, down, or did not know a cake from meal.

"We want the modern saint the man who can laugh and use bis muscles in manly exercise." Kev. Mr. Applegartb. then divided his subject into five beads: Belief, convictions, loyalty, love and ideals. These were in the make-up of a man of his subject.

He pointed out the temptations that beset the faith or a young man, and referred to the five points of his subject as the armor that shields from all. Eev. Dr. Purves spoke on some of the reasons why young men do not embrace Christianity. He said that one drawback was tne young man's dislike of sentimentality, which he attributes to Christianity.

Another cause is his love of independence. He then went on to state that all these points in the make-up of a yonng man were but the budding of his manhood. At this point in his life he must receive instruction or these very qualities will lead to destruction in this world and the next. THE PBOPEE WAT OF APPEOACH. He said the young man must be appealed to in a common sense, practical way.

His little misgivings mnst be dealt gently with. He is growing and no onecan expect to niakd a saint of him all at once. "What he wants is encouragement to stand alone in the world and something to do as an outlet for his energies. The collection taken netted a good sura toward paying the necessary to run the association, in addition to the membership fees. THE ALLEGHENY MEETING.

AN OVERFLOW GATHERING IN THE SECOND U. P. CHURCH. Two Addresses In "Which the Work of the Y. 31.

C. A. is Extolled Suggestions Made as to the Manner In "Which Its Usefulness Can be Enlarged. For the accommodation of the people of Allegheny who were not able to attend the anniversary gathering in Pittsburg, a Y. JI.

C. A. meeting was held last evening in the Second United Presbyterian Church, Stockton avenue and Sandusky street. There was a good attendance, and Thomas J. Gillespie, Vice President of the Young Men's Christian Association, presided.

After the reading of a selection from the scriptures by Eev. "William K. Cowl, Mr. Gillespie read the annual report. The first address was made by Eev.

Dr. C. "White, rector of St. Andrew's P. E.

Church, Pittsburg. The doctor thought that it was hardly a time for speech making. He said the report should be made the feature of these anniversaries. The main object should be to bring the work of the Y. M.

C. A. for the year to the view of the public. The report shonld be so explained and amplified that it would find lodgment in the brains and hearts of the audience. Itshould show what special work had been done by members collectively and, if necessary, individually.

THREE THINGS DESIRABLE. The young men who belonged to the association should possess the qualities of substance, strength and truth, which form a unity that makes sincerity, without which there is no true manliness. In referring to the resignation of General Secretary Orr, ho had said that a younger man was needed in his place, Dr. White insisted that there was something besides yars to determine whether a man should belong to the association. If he possessfd the qualities needed he was still a yonng man ior all necessary purposes.

He thought that to belong to such a band was a great privilege for any man. He was glad that the association was not either church, club or class, but a gathering of mutually respecting men. The want of confidence in men was one of the tnings that has made many failures in the church. The Young Men's Christian Association was the best ideal of the living church as intended by Christ. A NEED FOE STRONG MEN.

Eev. Dr. W. H. McMillan, vastor of the IvSecond United Presbyterian Church, was the next speaker.

His address was mainlv an elaboration of some oi the points made by Dr. White. He thought there was a greater need for strong men in the church now than at any period of its history. The men of the present day should have strength for personal purity and integrity of character. Integrity of character was needed to bear the burden and to carry heavy weight, for they will lie on the young men of to-day.

Another need was not only knowledge, but wisdom, or sanctified common sense. Still another need, said Dr. McMillan, is faith in God and large heartedness. The mightiest power in the Y. M.

C. A. is the man with the large heart. The man who can lay his hand on his fellow man and make him feel good, personal magnetism many call it, is a power in anv work. There is another point that should be impressed upon the members of the association.

At this time we want to get hold of the laboring masses. They feel that the church is alive to the capitalist and not to them. It should be the duty of the members to heal this breach. Some of the yonng members are in the ranks and others will no doubt become capitalists, so that it is appropriate that they should bend to this work. Another great point for them is to rescne the young men from the country from the danger that beset them in large cities.

That alone would justify the existence of their organization. Then they are wanted to give strong men to the work of the church. The association is an arm of the church and it must never be divorced therefrom. Tbe meeting was closed with the doxology and benediction. OK ACC0UKT OF TOT PLATE.

Boggs Buhl. CATARRH Is a constitutional and not a local disease, and therefore it cannot be cured by local applications.

It requires a constitutional'remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, working through the blood, eradicates the impurity which causes and promotes the disease, and effects a permanent cure. Thousands of people testify to the success of Hood's Sarsaparilla as a remedy for catarrh when other preparations had failed. Hood's Sarsaparilla also builds up the whole system, and makes you feel renewed In health and strength. All who suffer from catarrh or debility shonld certainly give Hood's Sarsaparilla a fair trial. A Perfect Cure.

"I have been taking Hood's Sarsaparilla for the past four years at intervals. I was troubled with catarrh, and the medicine effected a perfect cure. I take it now whenever I feel debilitated, and it always gives me immediate strength, regulates the bowels and gives an excellent appetite." Levi Campbell. Parkers-burg, W-Va. B.

Kansas City, November 9. Seven desperate negroes made a daring escape from the county jail to-day. This morning Green Reed struck Jailor O'Hara on the head with a heavy iron bucket, knocking him senseless. Peter Jackson snatched his revolver, while Edward Pendleton seized the keys. Then the seven prisoners with a yell ot joy ran to the door of the corridor, opened it with the stolen keys, fled through tne corridor to the street and were free.

A general police alarm was sent out, and in two hours five of the escaped prisoners had been re-captured. Peter Jackson was the only one re-taken who offered any serious resistance. He was chased by two officers to the Missouri Pacific yards, where he took refnge under a freight car. The officers called upon him to surrender. He answered with two shots from his revolver, neither of which took effect.

He then defended himself with a rock, and was not snbdued until he had been nearly clubbed to death. Green Eeed, the murderer, and Eichard Pendleton, the highwayman, are still at large. Andy O'Hara, the guard, was seriously injured by the blow with the bucket, but will recover. DISOWNED BY HIS WIFE. Tho Peculiar Predicament of a Man "Who Voted the Republican Ticket.

tSrSCLAJ, TELSQRUl TO TUX DISFA.TCB.J Bedfobd. November 9. A peculiar case of separation of husband and wife, in which politics played a prominent part, has come to the surface. Peter Stiffler is a quiet, easygoing man, who lived on a little farm with his wifo and one child in Coierain township. On Tuesday Stiffler left home to go to the noils to cast his ballot, as he had promised bis wife, for Pattion.

He finally acknowledged he had voted the Republican ticket. Mrs.
