and Willi each succeeding year lln
fruits of Colonel Schoonmuker's enter
prise become more apparent. The visi
tor whom eyes feast upon the attrac
tions of Eliiihurst, with its handsome
resiliences, well kept lawns and thrifty
trees und shrubbery, can scarcely real
ise that ten years ago the spot had
nothing io recommend it save the la
mous mind springs, from which copious
streams of pure water gurgle ceaseless
ly the year around. The labor and en
terprise which transformed the bleak
bill top into a beautiful garden 1111
something that can scarcely be appre
ciated by imo who has not watched the
progress of the work step by step. Jlo
tel Klmhurst, which is now owned en
tlrely by Horace E. Hand, is this year
again under (supervision of Mr. Nash,
whose ability as an entertainer needs

ing In the. vicinity of Scranton,,
In the completion of ''Oak Terrace,"
the. residence of Colonel Schoonmaker,
the founder of Klmhiirst, has realized
the Ideal suburban home. This beauti
ful edlllce which Is situated near the
end of the Elmhurst boulevard. Is a
model In Its way. Added to the de
lightful surroundings, enhanced by the
skill of the landscape gardener, are the
interior artistic effects and all of the
comforts of a city residence. The Idea
of "Oak Terrace" is carried out through
out the premises from the grove of oak
trees south of the house to the Interior
decorations, which are of oak leaves
und acorns, and no detail calculated to
increase its attractiveness has been
neglected. Colonel Schoonmaker, like
many other residents of Klmhurst, has
decided that the locality Is equally nt
tractlve as a winter home, and will
hereafter remain ther" the year around,
having disposed of .lis Florida prop
erty. On Wednesday evening Miss Amelia

MUSICAL NOTES.
In speaking of Uie recent performance
of the "Mikado" In this city by ama
teurs from Wllkes-Barre, the Elmlril
Telegram very properly suggests thnt
with tho talent In Scranton an opera
company could be easily organized that
would eclipse in excellence the best ef
forts of our Wllkes-Barre friends. The
Telegram also names Professor Richard
Lindsay as the director best fitted by
natural ability and experience to con
duct rehearsals of such an organization.
Much time has been spent In bringing
out heavy productions by various musi
cal societies of the city, and it seems as
though something in a lighter vein
would meet with approval from the
public. An amateur opera company
under direction of Professor Lindsay
ought to meet with success musically
and financially.
II II II
The Thiele-Jones Concert company
hava made arrangements to give a num
ber of summer concerts under manage
ment of O. B. Jones, of the Frothlnjj
ham. The company which Includes Er
nest Thlele, violinist; Mrs. Thlele, so
prano, and Reeve Jones, concert pian
ist, expect to give their first entertain
ment at Olen Summit on Wednesday
evening. They will make a tour of
about six weeks visiting summer resorts
and close with a concert at the Froth
ingham. The reputation of this trio of
artists Is such that it Is needless to
prophecy the musical success of tho sV
terprise, and under the management of
Mr. Jones the arrangement will no
doubt prove financially encouraging
also.
II II II
Professor J. Franklin Crowell, one of
America's greatest zither players, has
located at Carbondale, and It Is prob
able that he will be heard in this city
before the winter is over. The zither
Is a common Instrument In Germany
and Austria, where many excellent per
formers may be found, but Is little
known In America. Belnff one of the
most difficult of stringed Instruments
to play upon, few American musicians
possess the patience required to gain
perfection as performers. Professor
Crowell Is one of the few who have suc
ceeded In mastering the zither, and is
said to rank with the foremost artists
of foreign birth, who occasionally give
ua hints of the possibilities of the rare
Instrument suggestive of the Celestial
harps. Professor Crowell will be a wel
come addition to the musical ranks of
this valley.
II II II
A large number of music lovers gath
ered at Laurel Hill park on Sunday last
expecting to enjoy a concert by Bauer's
band, although the entertainment had
not been announced, and many were
disappointed. Tomorrow the band will
appear as usual, the concert beginning
at 3 o'clock, and an attractive pro
gramme will be rendered.

ArieW-Tomorrow's Services.
This Is truly the season of church In
activity. Pastors are absent on their
vacations; church and Sabbath school
officers are either out of town for the
summer or are Journeying between city
and country so often that they get but
little opportunity for otliclal work, and
there is piuctlcally none of the social
anil chiiicli organization pleasure and
work that really has so much to do with
religious. activity In the cooler und win
ter months. To the Christian Kndeuv
orers, it seems, has been left all there
is to do outside of regular Sunday ser
vice and weekly prayer meetings; and
just now the Endcavorers' work in pre
paring for the mammoth October state
convention necessarily smacks more
strongly of buslncas than religion.
The real big gun and the opening gun
of thr Immediate preparation for the
convention was fired at Thursday
night's "rally" In the Second Presbyter
ian church, when. In addition to reports
of the Washington national convention,
the programme for the gathering here

! services and meetings In Klin Park
j church, the Frothlngham theater and
me Acauemy or .music.

the organization which will sing during
the October convention. It Is made up

PROP. COLES FOR AUGUST.
From Storms and Signs.
The outlook for the month of Auguat
O.xoti) is discouraging- in the extreme.
The Planets Venus, Mercury and Ju
piter, our financial stimulator, are all
lost behind the sun. Saturn is In tha
far southwest, and Mars, the old red
warrior, will rise at midnight to play
his cunning tricks on old Mother Earth,
who stands all alone and opposed by
King Leo, the lion the king of the "low:
ebb" forces who will Bend epidemics,
drought, microbes, strange new bug
and parasites, etc., to afflict Earth.
Dissatisfaction In political and money
circles will cause much alarm and may
be blood-shed. Never before to our
recollection, have the Planets been In
the same position as they are now; and
we predict that nothing but sober,
thoughtful, st-udy actions on the part
of us fl'l, will save America from the
blnsling effects of a destructive finan
cial hurricane. From the 1st to the lfith
of the month we may experience soma
very strange weather: for. If Mars
turns his cruel attention to Earth, then
the heavens will weep ns easily as a
child. If he turns his attention to oth
er planets, then the vital forces of the
atmosphere will disperse the rain
clouds and make old Mother Eartli
quake and thirst. The Susquehanna.
Juniata, Alleghany, Schuylkill and
Lackawanna valleys in the state of
Pennsylvania, will be In the pathway
of a sirens electrical current, moving
eastward; and cities, situated llk
Scranton, without sufticlent river front
age t i nircst the electrical current, will
wuko n shining murk. Wind storms
nnd hail stcims. tornadoes and cy
clones, earthquakes and floods wilt
cause great loss of life and property.
Terrible gales will sweep along the sea,
coarts nnd do great damage to ship
ping. Cool waves bordering on to frost,
ai'd perhaps snow, will visit some sec
Huns; while In other sections people
will be dying from the heat Fearful
let is aiming the savages will be re
ported this month and awful deeds and
riots among the civilized. The unex
pected is liable to happen at any time
nnd nt any place. Several beautiful
sunset scenes will appear this month;
also a strange phenomena. Venus.
Earth and Mercury will combine their
forces against Mars 011 and after the
l.ith Inst. Therefore we may expect
some very great disturbances during
the latter part of the month. During
this month almost unprecedented else
trlcal storms will take place in the)
states ot Pennsylvania. New York and)
New Jersey as well as In the North.,
em, Southern and Western states.
We have warned you, now beware!
