The ambulance question seems to bo
one that needs talking over In this
town. Complaint is being made about
the slow service, but there Is also an
other feature to be considered. Of
course the orders are strict and It ap
pears to be Imperative that the sheep
bo divided from the goats, In other
words that the wrong people aren't
cHrted to the Moses Taylor or the
Lackawanna hospitals, but when both
of the Institutions or primarily for the
benefit of the poor maimed, crushed,
injured folk, it does seem that as much
humanity as possible should enter into
the ambulance service. Of course It
would be a terrible thing If a Lacka
wanna person should get to the Moses
Taylor by mistake, but once there. Dr.
Leet's big heart, if he were on the spot,
would not refuse aid. The same may
be said of the resident surgeons, both
of that institution and the Lackawan
na hospital. Dut the ambulance sys
tem Is different. Tho ambulance
hasn't any heart. The other day a
poor boy fell from a swing at Nay
Aug park and the life was almost
crushed out of him. Somebody sent for
an ambulance; It came after a certain
length of time, but it was then dis
covered that ho wasn't a candidate
for the Moses Taylor and the convey
ance was driven away by the person
In charge. It was three long hours
after that boy was hurt before tho
proper vehicle arrived to take him to
the proper place. This may be accord
ing to regulations but It Is very crael.
The same thine happened at the other
hospital not many months ago when a
prominent citizen, maimed and In peril
of his life from loss of blood, was re
fused carriage In the ambulance be
cause some one had made a mistake
In the excitement of the accident and
had telephoned for the wrong Institu
tion. It does seem that some sort of
an agreement could be mado between
the various hospitals that if such a
blunder occurs, the true intent of the
noble work done within their wnlls
may go on in this outside adjunct, and
that the ends of mercy may not be de
feated while a bleeding human being
writhes in agony that might be re
lieved. Street Commissioner Dunning and his
"white wings" made a fine appearance
yesterday afternoon. It Is only to be
hoped that he has provided enough go
cart grab bags to catch tho refuse of
this unregenerate town. All thoso In

If there was ever an Institution de
signed by man since the tower of Uabel
for the 'confusion of tongues It is that
court room No. 1. It used to be dis
tracting to the eye, with Its lop-slded,
big-footed goddesses, but now It Is not
only distracting but maddening to the
car. The only possible excuse that
can be Imagined for the construction of
those hollow squares where the voice
chases Itself In and out Is that if the
Judges are unable to hear the members
of the Lackawanna Bar orate, a more
Just decision can be rendered, although
there are some people who will always
consider that that terrible celling Is
responsible for not only queer decisions
from the bench but queer verdicts from
the Jury. The teachers tried to look In
terested yesterday afternoon In court
room No, 1, and they conscientiously
and modestly applauded when the
speakers concluded, (an expression of
approval that surprised and delighted
Superintendent Taylor) and all the
time they were wondering where tho
learned Instructors were at, and when
It would be time to begin to take notes.
Dr. Bateson read a splendid paper.
Dr. Benedict Is very good looking and
no doubt said a great many wonderful
ly lnstiuctlve things but Just what
both gentlemen were talk ns about It
Is safe to assert that but few teachers,
not tho possessors of eartrumpets with
modern attachments, can explain and
all because of that ceiling. If the news
paper people cnuse tho learned profes
sors to say weird things in print It
must be attributed to the same system
of suspended echoes.
The passlncr of a house and lot on
Irving avenue last week, from the
hands of Charles Shimmer to Patrol
man Iteese Jones, recalls a peculiar
plan by which the house was built.
Patrolman Jones Is tho authority for
the story. Shimmer, the former own
er, Is a carpenter. Some years ago he
purchased the ground with the Inten
tion of building thereon. But ho could
find no plans to suit his taste. He
didn't know what style o house he
wanted. For months Shimmer search
ed for a congenial Idea but the lot
remained houseless until one day In the
spring while Shimmer was at his work
a fellow carpenter came into the shop
and carelessly placed his dinner pall
on Shimmers' bench. A few minutes
afterward Shimmer was noticed eyeing
the dinner pall. He walked around It;
looked at It from all sides.
"What's the matter with you?" ask
ed the other carpenter.
"That's Just how I want my house
to look," answered Shimmer pointing
to the dinner pall. He at once started
to build the house using his memory
for a blue print. The house in due
time was finished and in truth as It
now stands it does resemble a dinner
pall.

Labor Day was more generally ob
served here yesterday than it ever was
before. The shutting down of many
Industries, the closing up of business
places, the decorations and thousands
who turned out to participate In or
view the demonstrations gave the city
nn unmistakable holiday appearance.
The big feature of the day, of course,
was the parade and mass meeting held
during the afternoon under the aus
pices of the Central Labor union. Tho
parade was a most creditable one in
every way being the longest that has
occurred since the establishment of the
new holiday. Tho different union or
ganizations not only turned out In
good numbers but many of them went
to no little trouble to make an attract
ive appearance.
The parade was to have started at
1.30 o'clock, but it was an hour later
beforo It got under way. The line
formed In three divisions on Linden
street and Mifllln avenue, the first divi
sion on Linden, right resting on Mif
flin; the second on Mifllln right rest
ing on Linden; tho third on Mifllln
avenue to the south of Linden. J. M.
Hornbaker was marshal; J. F. Everett,
chief of staff, and T. J. Gllbrlde, chief
aide.
At the head of the procession rode
three mounted officers, Captain Burke
and Officer Dyer on horseback and Pa
trolman Day on bicycle. Following
them rode tho marshal and his assist
ants and then came the various organi
zations marching In columns of four
and commanded by their respective offi
cers. ORGANIZATIONS IN LINE.
Tho Central Labor union had the
right of lino being the organization
representative of all the local unions.
The bakers, with their picturesque
tam-o-shanters and Immaculate coats
and aprons came next.
Bauer's band headed the printers,
who marched sixty strong and wore
nobby dusters and helmets. Bricklay
ers' union, No. 18, had about forty
men in line and presented a very neat
appearance. Half a hundred plumbers
represented Journeymen Plumbers'
union, No. 90. This organization was
headed by the Lawrence band and
had the distinction of having In Its line
the only man in the parade who wore a
"stove-pipe" hat.
Clgarmakers' union, No. 293, with
the "blue label" conspicuously dis
played on their breasts, numbered forty
men, each carrying a cane.
Stone Masons' union, No. 32, with
forty men, marched behind the Ring
gold band, bringing up the rear of
the first division.
One of the most attractive features of
the parade as well as one that was
most novel to this city was the delega
tion of the Garment Workers' and
Laundry Workers' organizations in
carriages. Tho delegation numbered
ten young ladles and they were warm
ly applauded along the line.
Tho Building Trades council marched
at tho head of the orjanzlattons of
which it was representative, and It
could bo Justly proud of the showing
made by Its constituents. Carpenters
unions, No. BG3, and No. -1S4, with near
ly 300 men In line provoked ringing ap
plause all along the route, for their
big turnout and excellent appearance.
Union 484 carried a novel banner made
entirely of wood shavings. It was the
handiwork of Theodore Straub, one of
the members of the union. The Forest
band furnished the music for the
knights of the hammer and saw.
PAINTERS NEATLY ATTIRED.
Painters' Local unions, Nos. 218 and
118, with 100 men, made a very attrac
tive nppearance In their white duck
overalls, Jumpers and caps. A rod and
blue banner lettered In gilt, trade espe
cially for tne occasion, ana carried Dy
Union, No. 118, attracted much atten
tion. The Lathers' union, weighty with' the
honors of their recent bloodless victory,
marched next, and behind them came
forty member of the strongly organ
ized sheet metal workers, representing
Loral union, No. SB.
Operative Plasteters' International
association, No. 100, marched with near
ly to men, eanylng a very attractive
banner.
One of the best displays of the parade
was that made by the equine cobblers.
They were all mounted on prancing
steeds, and rodo like veterans. At their
head were two horses lead by footmen.
One bore the announcement on his back
that he had been shod at a union shop.
He looked It. The second, which ad
mitted In big letters that ho had been
shod at a scab phop, looked as If every
work of it was true and he was sorry
for it.
Besides these organizations there were
also in this division repiesentatlons of
the Barbers' union, Tailors' union and
other kindred societies.
The third division was composed en
tirely of the employes of the street
commissioner's department, who turned
out in acknowledgment of tho vffoits
(if the labor unions In securing in them
the benefits of the eight-hour law,
which was put In operation in this city
last Monday. Street Commissioner Dun
ning marshaled his men himself, being
In hearty accord with tho principles of
united labor, and taking an especial
Interest In yesterday's demonstration,
because it gave him an opportunity of
Introducing to the public some of his
new Ideas and showing the people of
the city, also, what a big institution tho
street commissioner's department has
grown to be.
Mr. Dunning headed the column, at
tired In white duck and drab military
hat, white after him came his fore
men of departments, similarly attired,
saving that helmets were worn Instead
of tho military hat. The new bicycle
officer and the clerks of the department
also nwhepl ncted as an advance guard,
and the Old Forgo band furnished tho
music- to which the well drilled street
men kept time.
FLAG AND BANNER.
An American flag and a banner In
scribed "Street Commissioner's Depart
ment" were carried side by side ahead
of tho band. Following the band was
a banner with this very Dunning de
vice "Give Us Money and We'll Give
iTou Clean Streets."
Tho position of honor In the main
column of thu division was given to
tho new push cart, propelled by six
men of tho street cleaning department,
dressed In white duck and caps a la
waring. Then came In order the em
ployes of tho department of street re
pairs, department of bridges, depart
ment of sewers nnd drains, with their
wagonB and other paraphernalia, tho
men wearing white caps and sashes of
red, white and blue, and the wagons
bi't'iir resplendent In gay decoratlcna of
the national colors.
Tho procession moved out Linden
street and thence via Wyoming to
Spruce, thence to Franklin, to Lacka
wanna, countermarching at the brldgo
nj.o coming back Lackaw.tnna to Well
ington, where the paradcrs headed for
Laurel Hill park, going by way of Pine
stri'ot nnd Quincy avenue.
In the field Just the other side of
Moses Taylor hospital, the marshal and
his staff, officers of the Central Labor
union, and the committee of Judges to
nword the prizes, conducted tho review.
M. P. Flaherty.-Arthur Kelly, Georgo
Dorsey, H. Shopland and James Don
ohoe, who comprised this committee of
Judges, awarded the first prize to Car
penters' union, No. EG3, for having tho
lurgest number of men In line. Tim
plumbers got the second prize, which
wau for best appearance. The prize for
the oldest organization In line went to
Scranton Typographical union. No. 112,
which has been In existence since 1SC7.
YOUNGEST ORGANIZATION.
The fourth prize, awarded to the
youngest organization In line, was won
by the Horseshoers. The laundry work
ers, garment workers and bakers wen
close contestants for this latter honor,
and but for the fact that no organiza
tion could receive two prizes the Typos
would have been awarded the laurels
for making the best appearance.
A special prize was decided upon for
Mr. Dunning and his men, who were
prevented from contesting for the regu
lar prizes because they ave not affiliat
ed with the labor unions as yet.
Arriving at the park the paradcrs
rested for an hour or no, and then
gathered nt the band stand, together
with the others, vho had come to tho
park and listened to some nbl talks
on the labor question. J. H. McNulty,
chairman of the committee of arrange
ments, opened the meeting and Intro
duced Hon. John R. Farr as chairman.
Speeches that were frequently Inter
rupted with applause, were made by
Mr. Farr, John A. Hart and J. W.
Plasterer, the latter, with T. J. Fox,
constituting the soliciting committee,
sent to this region by the strikers in tho
bituminous regions.
KLONDYKE INVESTMENT.
Scranton Company Mnkos It Possiblo
to Bench tho Gold Fields.
Tho Klondike Investment company
of Scranton was chartered for the
purpose of engaging in mining opera
tions in the Alaska gold fields on a
largo scale. This company proposes
to enable not only capitalists but per
sons of moderate means to Invest
money in the cold region and partici
pate In the profits to tho extent of the
Investment without the perils and pri
vation Incident to a trip to the scene
of operation.
Many people already preparing to
send money to foreign companies will
have the assurance that the money In
vested will be In the hands of compet
ent business men and that none but
the most competent engineer and min
ers will be engaged In the work. The
company has already secured the ser
vices of reliable men who own claims
and worked on the Klondike for two
years and they propose as, soon as
possible to have them return to the
claims with every facility for prose
cuting the work of mining.
This Is the only company of the kind
In Northeastern Pennsylvania. The
citizens of Scranton are quick to see a
good business opening nnd prompt to
act and keep this city In foreground
In all quarters of the globe. The
large number of applications for stock
shows that the company will be popu
lar. The company has offices at 801 and 802
Mears building. The officers of tho
company are: P. S. Page, president;
Frank H. Jermyn, vice-president; M.
B. McDonald, treasurer. They are all
well-known business men and under
their guidance the company should bo
very successful.

ON THE EVE OF
THE CONVENTION
Pryor Has Enough Delegates to Insure
Ills Nomination on First Ballot.
WHAT OTHER CANDIDATES SAY
All Profess to Ho Hopeful but Do
Not Give Any riKurcs--I)urlng tho
Dny nnd Night Attempts Were
Mndo by Sponcur, l'lnn nnd Okoll to
1'orm n Combination Hut It Wns
Not .Succcssfnl.-Wluit tho Cnndl
dntcs Hud to Say.
Labor Day was well named so far
as the politicians were concerned, for
they began their toll soon after sun
rise and had not completed It when
these lines were sent to press. The
different headquarters each drew Its
quota of delegates and spectators, and
during last evening the effect produc
ed resembled that of a state conven
tion minus the bands, the paradcrs and
the red fire.
The feature of the day was the un
availing effort of tho three anti-slate
candidates, Messrs. Spencer, Finn nnd
Okell, to form a combination on one
of the three. Negotiations to this end
were begun early In tho day and con
tinued until after midnight. The story
of these different meetings would form
Interesting reading, but the essential
fact is that the efforts proved unavail
ing and nt a lato hour It was agreed
that each of the three should permit
his name to go before the convention
with tho understanding that If a sec
ond ballot was required, the one of the
three who had received the highest
vote would receive as much of the
strength of the other two as could be
transferred.
PRYOR'S NOMINATION ASSURED.
But this anangement Is likely to be
rendered futile by tho fact that the
nomination of Pryor Is assured on the
first ballot. He begnn the day with
a majority of the votes of the conven
tion pledged and every hour add
ed to the number. At midnight It was
given out by thoso having his candi
dacy In charge that the fight was all
over except the shouting, and this was
confirmed by the private admissions of
those who were identified with the
rival headquarters. The remainder of
tho slato Is practically uncontested.
Frank Spencer was surrounded by a
crowd of friends In his headquarters
In Liberty hall when seen by a Trib
une reporter last evening. "You can
see that I am hustling," he said, "and
I believe I will win."
"Do you expect to win on the first
ballot?" asked the reporter.
"No," replied Mr. Spencer, "but I do
expect to be nominated on the second.
As to the number of delegates I have
pledged to support me I prefer to say
nothing."
At George Okell's headquarters In the
Coal Exchange thero were many call
ers during the day and evening. "I
think I am going to win," said Mr.
Okell when questioned by a reporter,
but he refused to discuss the situa
tion In detail or give any figures.
WHAT FINN SAID.
"I believe I have as bright prospects
as anv man who will go Into tomor
row's convention" was what Candidate
Wade Finn said. He had no figures to
give for publication.
Tho convention will be convened at
10 o'clock In the main auditorium of
the court house. Admission to the
space reserved for delegates will be
by tickets, which will be distributed at
9 o'clock at the county committee head
quarters. THE LYCEUM.
Tim Murphy, Scranton's favorite ac
tor, will present a grand double bill
at tho Lyceum Thursday evening, "Old
Innocence" and "A Texas Congress
man." His company Includes hand
some Dorothy Sherrod.
"A Coat of Many Colors," a new
comedy by MadellneuLucette Kyley.wlll
