The present quiet in municipal itu
provement operations such as paving,

the calm which precedes an ective con

dition to the building of the new
bridges, which will probably be under

Meat's and Jertnvn buildings, the new

enterprises, the outlook for tho laborer
aud artisuu during tin rest of the
summer and. autuiuu is particularly
bright.
After a general resume of the opera
tions mentioned as being prospective r
actually begun, it is the opinion of
conservative builders and contractors
that the an hi urn will witness a greater
rejuvenating of trade and luboriug
work than has existed since the spring
of 180 ! One vll known builder :iid

The contracts are now in the city con

for the building of wing walls on th

will give work to tuty men.
la s-lt'ct council an ordinance has
pasted first and second readings crea

PAVE ON' WEST LACKAWANNA.
One of the prominent and most need

After the paving contract is Lit 100 or
more bands will be employed on the

The paving of the street will include
the setting and resetting of curbs and
the laying of sidewalks over a large

be favorably recomnv-nded.
r-AVI.NO OF VINE AND PINE STKEETS.
Tha paving of Vino and I'ino streets
is desired by citizens generally, and no
opposition has been encountered in
councils, but a delay is causa I by own

Mutual Eeni fit Association by tho ex
ecutors of the estate of the late Dr,
George S. Tlir.wp. Dr. B. II. Throop
disclaimed any knowledge of the nro

relic might very properly bo given to
tne new borough of lhronp. Hobert
Keeves, superintendent of the Scranton
Gas aud Wuter company, on of the
executors of the estate of Dr. George
Throop, says the nutter had been sug
gested, but that no definite action had
been taken. Some facts about the old
machine and her younger days were
outained by a Tpihune reporter from
ex-Aldermuu Charles W. ltoesler.
'
Mr. Roesler of today, with his vener
able gray beard and grucelnl old a lie
would be hard to imagine as one of the
boys who had "run with the machine"
or whose sturdy niusuie of years ngo
had quivered under the loreman s com

a few years after we bought her. The
Nny Augs had purchased a steamer aud

that the steamer could throw a high

all ended in a contest one evening at
tho First Presbyterian church, where
tho steeplo was used as a stream mark
It Is immaterial which won, because
several days previous some of the Nep
tune boys, of which I was oue, went to
work at our machiua to get her in con
dition to beat both the other com

Work Being Dano by Child Saving Committee
of Board of Associated Charities.
ERRIELE STATE OF AFFAIRS
Children of Tender Years Are Kept In
Brothels by Conscienceless Parents
and Constantly Confronted with
Vice in Its Most Hideous Forms.
Legal Steps Will Be Taken to Prop
erly Provide for tho Littlo Ones.
Scranton has grown into a large city
so rapidly that her more fortunate
residents have not found the time to
uvestigito certain moral conditions of
ho lower strata of society. A groat
niunv evils have been permitted to cx-
st, but one deplorable fact has lately
ceived tho Httoutlou of tho Associ
ate 1 charities to such an extent that a
slum crusade in that particular direc
tor! will receive the esu -clal attention
of the association in the future.
Allusion is made to tho existence of
children Burruunded by immoral inllu-
nces, and iu a few c i:;es these young
ives are being shaped in houses of ill-
fume. This is uot a statemeut without
tlm support of actual proof.
At a recent meeting or tne Associa
ted Charities tlm child saving coimnit-
o was increase from throti members,
composed of men, to nine members,
composed of nix men nnd three worn n.
Since the original committee of three
mon whs appointed nffort only wus
made to properly core for little oues
abused by parents, found begging in
tho streets, or perhaps without a home.
BIIAMIU'Tt. STATE OF AFFAIUS,
Of late, however, a sliamiful state of
iiTiiirs litis been brought to the atten
tion of the board and th increased
child saving committee was app iutod.
Tne members were eelecled for their
known fearlessness to do what is right.
This is the committee: Mrs. J. R.
Cohen, Mrs P. J. Horut), Mrs. A. E
I'ottigrew. L. H. Sturges, Colonel II.
M. B dus, T. J K lley, Thorn is Moore,
iu J. Lynett ami W. G aylord Thomas.
1c has been found that unprintable
surroundings of a score of little lives
might well make- a Christian man or
woman wish the children dead if it
were uot possible to secure their re
lease.
A number of parents hive bsen noti
fied that unless the children are de
livered to the homes or institutions
suggested by the Associated Charities
before the meeting of Tuesday nexi,
legal steps will be taken to se
cure possession of the little ones and
the parents will be arrested. While
The TitiUL'Ni! has obtained a record of
the cases they cannot bo particularized
for obvious reasons. A few cases, how
ever, may be mentioned to give uu idea
of what ugly scorpions exist in the
city.
In Raymond court, whore there are
six cases between S ana 14 years of
age, two children nre regularly em
ploye! to secure rooms for transient
couples, go on errands of vice nnd
carry boer from the saloons Two
other children in tho same locality re
side with their mother and oldest sis
ter who share their apartments with
negroos, In Center street a boy and a
girl 0 and 7 years of uge, live in the
miu.it of immorality.
31 ANY OTHER CASES,
Many cases of n lesser degree could
be cited, but it is nnnecf ssary. There
nre, perhaps, twenty children known
who liva in homes fairly respectable
but where the father, mother and
elder brothers and sisters spend their
earnings for drink uud have periodical
sprees,
Iheso few facts throw some light
on the reason why the Associated
Charities includes a child saving com
mittee of such efficient calibre, aud
why this committeo has been hard at
work ot late. It has a wide field of
usefulness in saving these mites of hu
manity from the corruption their pros
e nt surroundings is Bure to effect.

Entertainment Almost
Corn-
piste World's History.
There was but a small audience Inst
night present at the splendid photo
otit icon show of the Surricks at Laurel
Hill park. Tho views were given on a
canvas sheet 20 feet fquare and were
vory realistic. Mr. Surrick announced
that the views which he would pro
due were all photographed during the
past twenty-two months.
The first view was a beautiful pano
rama of Rjine, followed by views of
St. IVters, the pope's residence, the
river Tiber, thecitad d of the Castle of
St. Angelo, and the Coliseum. The
world famed picture, "The Christian
Martyrs," by the celebrated nrtist, Gus
tavo l)ore,and its companion picture by
the same artist, "The Dying Martyrs,"
were reproduced with brilliant effect.
Other famous scenes in Rome were
presented.
The points of interest in London
were next given, followed by scenes
from the beautiful city of Paris. The
Heine river, spanned by sevon bridges,
was shown by moonlight. The Paris
views ended with a view of ' Napoleon
in his glory st tho head of his troops,
and then again pictured him again au
exile on the bleak island of St, Helena.
One of the most startling scenes was
Unit of tin ocean greyhound croislng

Mrs. Surrick recited "The Bachelor,"
from Tlumins Hood, nccompuuied by

of this difficult recitation was highly

the eruption that destroyed the cities
at its base was sufficiently pleasing to
impress all present that it alone by it
self ws worth the price of admission.
Tho entertainment, after a, number of
views, was concluded by the song by
Mrs Surrick. "I Dreamed I Dwelt in
Marble Halls," and was accompanied
by suitable scenes.
Another entertainment will bo given
tomorrow evening and oue ou Suaduy

will be presented each night.

herbage and choice confections, slake
their thirst at varied aud various foun
tains, witness the diverting wiles of
the wheel o -fortune and ring-s-cane
iil-four-throws-for-a-iiicltel man, tread
the light fantastic toe and in numerous
other attractive ways enjoy themselves
to their hearts' content. The excursion
went up iu three sections. The firBt
morning train had eleven coaches, th
next nine and the afternoon special
eight, and all were jammed.
Arr yed at the gr-juuds, there was a
scattci -igof the multUU'Je aloug lines
correpvt'iiding with differing tasks,
Some made ut once for the clam bake.
Their appreciation may be inferred
when it Is said that two car loads or
clams had to be ordered in addition to
the supply which it was originally sup
posed wouid be ample. Others betook
themselves lu the direction of the re
freshment booths and the dancing pa
vilion. At the lutter place Uuuer, with
his string, transformed the fk-eting
hours into trances of delight. Later in
the day the band, playing on brass in
struments, gave eleven superb numbers
out of doors, alternating with the Elk's
quartette and other special numbers.
At odd intervals, the festive candidate
pursued tho elusive vote; but there was
less of this perhaps tbauat most recent
picnics.
THE ATHLETIC EVENTS.
The programino of athletio events
was in readiness for presentation, but
with the exception of sevoral tugs-of-
war, band ball contests and miscella
neous games, the excursiouists were so
well satisfied with their entertainment
that these special features were not
called into requisition. From dawn to
sundown the picnic was one complete
success, unmarred by unpleasant inci
dent, and productive of substant.al re
sults iu the form of rv venue.
