Show of the Scinnton Poultry
Association.
A visit to the poultry exhibition now
In progress under the auspices of Hip
Scrniiton Poultry association In the
City Guard armory on Adams avenue
reveals very vividly the noise email
atliiK from a prosperous fnrmer's barn
yard, at about the time the feathered
denizens are fairly aroused, and seem
vleliiK with each other In n lauduuble
attempt to awaken the farmer and his
family to pursue their day's labor. Hut
If you would have a proper conception
of the volume of noise created by the
birds at the exhibition, you would have
to Imagine a dozen barnyards com
bined, containing feathered bipeds from
nearly every quarter of the wlobo all
producing their characteristic noises,
The birds at the exhibition are not
of the pleblan, barnyard class who ful
fill their mission by laying un occasional
egg, hatching a brood of chicks and
dually lining voids In the stomachs of
the farmer's children. They are high

born and of noble blond. They arc well
fed, carefully groomed and In the course
of their lives travel many miles,
oftentimes over land and sea. There
are at the exhibition scores of dif
ferent breeds, some hulling from
near nnd some from afar. There
Is', for instance, the timid and
beautifully penciled little California
quail, the bulbous headed and Imported
Chinese goose, the pule blue gllled, Im
portations from Russia, known in poul
trydom as the Sllkle. Of pigeons there
are some that in captivity have trav
eled many hundred miles und would
command as ninny dollars in a sale.
HIGH TONED PHEASANTS.
There are pheasants from the famous
farm of Verner de Guise on the Hnvo
meyer farm In New Jersey, and there Is
a pair of unassuming pigeons that bear
the distinction of having traveled to
and fro. between Scranton and New
York twelve times.
In the line of quadrupeds there are
rabbits that have traveled from the
famous Himalaya mountains, north
of India, from the black forests of Ger
many, and so- on, all of which brings
one to the conclusion that the poultry
show Is a decidedly cosmopolitan ag
gregation. As mny be Imagined, the music of
these captives Is of a varied and un
conventional kind. They have had no
chorus organization, no patient drill
muster or kindly conductor, so that
their vocal efforts, taking the air Inces
santly during the day and much of the
night, break upon the ear, a veritable
bedlam. Here in a corner a broad Huffy,
Wyandotte cock cranes Ills neck and
loudly crows, a deep bass legato, which
no sooner ended, than the deep throaty
Hrahman. the high toned Shanghls,
the strident games, the baritone Ml
norcos, the trebble bantams and sta
catto gobblers Join their solos to the
chorus. This chorus, by the way, con
sits of a sort of bass viol effect, which
never dies out entirely and consists of
the cooing of doves, the cackling of
countless liens, the hissing of geese and
various minor noises.
The scene presented on entering tho
armory is several rows of patent fowl
exhibiting cages containing altogether
over I'.OOO captives. At each side of the
main entrance are exhibitions of poul
try and cattle food. The exhibitors
of valuable birds are too numerous to
lie mentioned individually.
It is a show at once entertaining, In
structive and amusing and will un
doubtedly receive liberal patronage
through its duration, which will bo
every afternoon and evening until and
including Saturday.
Thr exhibition Is given by the Scran
ton Poultry association and is its sec
ond annual exhibit, a fact which re
llects much credit upon the association
when the high standard and excellence
of the show is considered.
LARGE SALE OF SEATS.

Yesterday morning the sale of seats

the unpleasunt features of former sales
on like occasions were avoided und the
sale was conducted in the fulrest possi
ble manner. Not only was the sale for
Thursday lame, but for Friday and
Saturday as well. There was a very
brisk demand for Saturday matinee
tickets also. Those who have not yet
secured tickets need not be discour
aged, however. There are still some
choice ones left for the various per
formances, but it behooves those who
want them to apply early.

Sudden Death at Diirvea.
August Peuster, who lived In the rear
of Phelps street, near Cnpouse avenue,
was killed at Duryea yesterday morn

shock of the fall acted with fatal ef
fect on the heart. He had for some
time complained of heart trouble.
The deceased Is survived by a wife
and four grown children, three pons and

agers, were adopted,
The work of the society last year and
its plnus for the future were outlined
in the following excellent report of the
recording secretary, Mrs. W. D. Ken
nedy: SECRETARY'S REPORT.
At this season we uie accustomed to
take a retrospect of the past, and look
inquiringly Into the unknown and uncer
tain future. We hae rounded out our
twenty-IIVH years of life, as an organiza
tion. The new year has already begun its
onward course. There Is probably no in
stitution among all those which are main.
tallied in Serunton today better known or
more endeared to the hearts of the peo
ple than the Home for friendless Women
and Children. The adoption of the word
'Home" by our predecessors has proven
no misnomer, for all who are familiar
with the life within its walls icallze how
well the name has been lived up to and
also how natural It seems that the one
place for which most people have a latent
love has become a familiar one In that
connection.
The spirit of home life that now per
vades our institution Is largely due to the
motherlliicss of the matron, the gentle,
unobtrusive work of her sister, combined
with the cnieful administration of the
chief manager. It Is a pleasure to record
their gooi.l work, so modestly and faith
fully performed.
Since our last annual report there have
been-admitted thirty-two boys, thirty
three girls and thirteen women. Tills
number Includes live who were sent to
the Home for temporary shelter and re
mained theie but a brief time.
Only one death occurred during the
year, that of an Infant girl, ten months
old, on July 2ti. There have been three
children Indentured .to the home and four
indeiitiued by the home to families.
There are, as usual, quite a number nf
children In homes, which there Is every
reason to believe will be permanent. There
are many applications for Infants, now on
tile. These applications are often from
their very simplicity and sinceilty, touch
ing in the extreme. One recently recelvd,
from u childless couple, and whee request
we were unable to grant, asks If we have
an orphan baby boy from 2 to S months
old, saying that such a child would s"cure
a good comfortable home and a loving
father and mother. And (his Is but one
of many of similar ehaincter. All homes
aie duly Inquired Into by our faithful in.
vestlgatlng committee, bill we seldom tin 1
that unwoithy persons deslie to lie bur.
dened with a helpless infant, although
sometimes tho home3 are very hiimbU
ones.
CARING FOR INFANTS.
Several Infants have gone from our care
during the year, and are now blessed
lights in happy homes. It half seems as If
Mrs. Cralk must have been at one of our
executive sessions when shu wrote:
"A baby without a mother, u woman
without a child,
Looked Into each other's faces, while their
guardian angel smiled."
The causes that bring children to the
home aie greatly dlversllled .sometimes
a mother's Illness, especially If she be ihe
bread winner, leaves her children to the
emu of strangers. In one instance lis
blight little boys were admitted during
the insanity of their mother. Quite often
the mother's death leaves a father with
a family of little ones, and there really
seems no more helpless individual In Ihe
world, temporarily, than a very poor man,
without near relatives, bereft of the
mother of his children. More than once
the past year has been the record, father
In Jail, or mother depraved, children sent
by chief of police or sometimes by the
agent of the Associated Charities.
Since our last report almost as many
children have gone out from the home as
have been received, so that while tne
family remains about the same in num
bers its members are constantly chang
ing. A letter from a lady who has one of
our boys wiole our chief manager: "M .
often speaks of his life at the home, al
ways kindly, with a true realization of Its
benellt to him, yet seems to be very an
xious to so conduct himself that he be
not returned to It. He says, 'It Is such a
nice place, but there are others needing to
come there all the time, and when one
goes out, the place Is filled again right
away.' " And that explains the condition
of things exactly.
It would take more space than can be
spared to enumerate even In brief, the
Individual cases that have lecclved as.
slstunce homeless old ladles, women In
broken health, deserted wives, wives of
drunken and abusive husbands, children
In need of temporary homes, orphan chil
dren, deserted children, abused children,
a similar list to that of other years, mak
ing the same drain upon our symputLAi
and needing Just as Imperatively our help
and your help.

Two weeks ago two young daughters"

Kobllng and Lieutenant Davis on a
warrant Issued at the Instnnce of their
brother, who learned yesterday that
his sisters never hnd any thought of
"working out," but came direct to this
city and entered upon a life ot shame.
The proprietress of the house, Jnslo
Lester, was also taken Into custody
and all three spent Inst night In the
station house,
Their ensos will bo disposed of by
Alderman Millar this morning. The
girls' relatives will have them cared
for In some corrective Institution. The
