Bauer's Band nnd After Dinner In
dulged In Sports of Various Kind3.
Somo of tho Prlze-Winners Ladles
Who Assisted In Entertaining tho
Noisy But Good-Natured and
Happy Throng.
Over seven hundred newsboys of the
city enjoyed an outing at Nay Aug
park yesterday. It was a happy, mer
ry, noisy throng, up to all kinds of mis
chief and prepared to extract fun out
of anything that suggested Itself.
Tho newsboys outing was first sug
gested by Park Commissioner A. P.
Bedford who consulted with the mana
gers of the dally newspapers of tho
city. The latter furnished the "sinews
of war" and assisted Mr. Bedford In
carrying the affair to a conclusion that
was gratifying!)' successful.
The boys gathered at the court bouse
park early In the morning and at 0.30
the parade started from Washington
avenue and Linden street headed by
Mounted Officers Dyer and Burke and
Bauer's band. The following nrrunged
the boys In line and gave them their
badges and dinner tickets: Park Com
missioner A. P. Bedford, Dr. O. E. Hill,
City Engineer Joseph Phillips, Harry
U. Hopewell, C. P. O'Mallcy. of The
Truth; Thomas Fleming and Thomas
Rafter, of The Times, Howard Davis
and John Crane, of the Tribune. The
boys carried small American flags pre
sented by Dr. Hill and banners painted
by George Wlnuns.
LINE OP MARCH.
After leaving Washington avenue and
Linden street the line of march was
as follows: Linden to Mulberry, to
Penn, to Lackawanna, to Mulberry, to
park. The procession was four blocks
In length nnd attracted much atten
tion as It passed through the streets.
Tho marching and demeanor of the boys
was highly commended by those who
watched tho brave little marchers.
At the park a generous dinner of
substantlals and delicacies was served
to tho boys and tho way they caused
eatables to disappear was testimony
of a convincing character that they
wero healthy and hearty. The serving
was done by the following ladles of
Lieutenant Ezra S. Grlflln Post, Wom
en's Belief association: Mrs. lone
Walter, Mrs. Marie Allen, Mrs. Etta
Pcarce, Mrs. Rachel Hall, Mrs. Olive

After dinner a concert was given by
Bauer's band that greatly tickled tho
Juvenile audience. They voted It one
of the very good things of the day.
Tho services of the band were donated
by .Mr. Bauer.
VARIOUS GAMES.
The steam merry-go-round, which
had been placed at tho disposal of the
boys, and games of various kinds
helped to while away other pleasant
hours that sped all too quickly. One
of tho exciting and amusing games was
a desperate chaso after three greabed
pigs. Two of Tho Tribune's live cur
riers came In for honors In this con
test. They were Beese Powell nnd
Harry Flynn, ench of whom made a
captive of a slippery porker. Flynn
also assisted another newsboy In lay
ing low the third pig.
At 2 o'clock the carriers for tho af
ternoon papers returned to the city.
The boys employed on tho morning
papers remained for several hours
longer. General Manager Frank Sllll
man, of tho Scranton Bnllway, carried
all of the boys back to the city free of
charge.
Those having tho outing In charge
weie especially grnteful to Mrs. E. N.
Wlllard, who contributed a barrel and
a basket of apples and a basket of
plumH to the feast and gave Dr. G. E.
Hill $5 for the work he Is doing toward
furnishing needed park facilities.
WILL JOIN DALY'S FORCES.
Miss Walsh, of Parsons.Engaged by
Dean of Theatrical Managers.
Tho following from tho Wllkes
P.arre Leader refers to a young woman
who has many friends In this city;
Miss Mame Walsh, of Parsons, daugh
ter of John B. Walsh, will leave this week
for New York city, having accepted an
engagement with Augustine Daly to be
como a member of one of his stock com
panies. Miss Walsh has long had a de
sire to go upon the stage nnd bhe teems
eminently fitted for that profession. Two
months ago, armed with strong recom
mendations from Beveral prominent gen
tlemen of New York sho waited upon Mr.
Daly and the result was an invitation to
icport for duty In September. Yester
day the welcomo letter was received urg
ing Miss Walsh to come on to New York,
and sho at onco began he preparations
for leaving.
Miss Walsh Is 22 years old, of fine flg
uro und possesses all the pergonal charms
that will aid in the success that surely
awaits her. She was educated In the pud
lie schools of this placo and her ability In
lecltatlons soon attracted notice. Under
tho direction and ndvlco of friends bhe
took a courso In tho National School of
Elocution and Oratory at Philadelphia,
remaining there during tho season of 'M
and '91, when sho graduated with special
honors. In 18SS sho accepted a position
as supeilntendent of elocution lu ths
Dunmoro public schools. This duty ie
quired her teaching In four buildings nnd
sho had In charge all pupils above the
third reader.
Miss Walsh had alio charge of the grad
uating class of tho Plttstbn schools for
two seasons nnd taught classes In elocu
tion nt Avoca, Parsons and East End and
In each place had marked success.
The subject of this sketch Is equally
strong In tragedy ns In comedy roles,
though sho prefers the iormpr. Mrs. J.
W. Shoemaker, principal of tho National
School of Oratory, lays she Is exception
ally clever In either role.
Miss Walsh has taken part In several
amateur productions, notably "Tho Two
Orphans," In which she took tho part of
Henrietta. This, It will be remembered,
was Riven In tho Grand for tho benefit
of Ht. Vincent de Paul society. Her first
attempt nt theatricals was In "Kathleen
Mavourneen," In which she took a male
part, that of Squire Bernatd Cavanaugh,
This was under tho auspices of St. Dom.
Inlc'a Sunday school nt Parsons.
Miss Walsh took the part of Helen Ar
mour, a soubrctte, In "Which," Dan
Hart's well known ci cation.
Her favorite recitations nre "The Char
lot Raco," from "Ben Hur;" "Pauline
Povlona," by Aldrlch; "Victor of Maren
go;" "Old Ace," by Brooks; "Pyramus
nnd Thlehe," by Sax, and "Leah tho For
saken," by Daly. Her favorite dialect Is
tho Scotch, but sho Is clever In a number
of tho dialects. If given an opportunity
It Is safo to say Miss Walsh will glvo evi
dence of truo genius. Sho Is lucky In be
ing ncciptcd by Mr. Daly, who puts on
nothing but tho legltmalo nnd whoso
lending star Is Miss Ada Rehan.

HE HAS TWO REASONS.
I. H. Burns Declines Democratic
Nomination for Congress Writes
a Characteristic Letter.
In a letter that will go down In his
tory as the most novel thing In the po
litical literature of these parts, Ira II.
Burns yesterday formally declined the
congressional nomlnuUon tendered
him by tho recent Democratic con
vention during his absence and with
out any solicitation, expectation or
knowledge on his part.
This Is Mr. Burn's letter of declina
tion: Scranton, Sept. 1, 1S3S.
F. J. Fltzslmmons, lf.
Dear Sir: On my return from a brief
summer outing I noticed certain news
paper charges to tho effect that I had
been nominated for congress by tho Dem
ocratic convention during my absence.
Upon Investigation theso charges np
pear to have been well founded, but the
convention having died, and no adminis
trator having been appointed, there seems
to bo r.o proper official method of putting
an affirmance or denlnl on tho record. It
docs not even appear that It Is the duty
of any ono to notify the Intended victim
of tho fato In storo for him. The framers
of our rules evidently never contemplated
tho possibility of a candidate declining a
nomination. I take this early opportun
ity, however, to address you ns tho solo
official survivor of the lato convention,
trusting that you will tnko such steps as
may bo necessary to prevent. It possible,
my election.
Whllo I highly appreciate tho compli
ment of an unsolicited nnd unexpected
nomination, there are two obstacles In
tho way of my acceptance: First, tho
danger of being elected, nnd, second, tho
dnnger of being defeated. In tho first
case I should bo compelled to seriously
neglect mv practice, which I much prefer
to any ofllco whatever, besides Incurring
tho risk of beeo-nlng nn habitual politi
cian. In the second place, there Is no fun
Ir. being licked, especially when you glvo
a lot of time, labor and funds for tho
prlvllego of getting It. Taken alto
gether, tho situation somewhat resembles
that described by tho colored preacher
when ho said "My brethren, thero nm
two roads; ono leads down to hell and
the other to damnatlen." Still. I might
havo considered It a duty to face theso
alternatives were It not for tho fact that
there ore plenty of others equally capa
ble, nnd with more ambition, youth nnd
energy, to put Into the canvnss. With a
loyal and united Democracy behind him,
the candidate, whoever he may be, ought
to bo triumphantly elected, nnd nt tho
samo time he will nrcumulate a fund of
experience nnd knowledge of human na
ture, probibly attalrable In no other way
In so short a time.
My brief experience as a quasi candi
date has not been at all unpleasant. No
one ha3 seriously pulled my leg, nnd,
comparatlvelv speaking, 1 havo been
kindly treated by the newspapers nnd tho
general public. Besides, I havo mado a
largo circle of warm friends by numerous
promises of garden seeds, rgricultural re
ports nnd tho new bug book as soon ns
published. It should bo understood that
my Miccessor takes tho ofllco subject to
these encumbrances.
With cordlnl thanks to yourself m.d as
sociates of tho lato convention for your
spontaneous and unanimous evidence of
misplaced nffectlon, I am.
Very truly yours,
I. II. Burns.
Colonel Fltzslmmons said last even
ing that the other Democratic candi
dates, Judge Gunster, Dr. Saltry, and
Mr. Dunning would meet in the courso
of a week to select the county commit
tee and the committee would tnko up
the question of filling the vacancy.

What About
New Carpets ?
Going to buy any this fall ? You'd better, Carpet prices were
never so low. Carpet styles never prettier. There's been no radica
change, though colors run a little brighter than usual. Green continue
as popular as ever. The patterns are all that might be expecteJ
We've selected with ourusual care. Ingrains shownewshades and de
signs, while velvets continue as handsome and popular as ever. There s
nothing verv startling in the above announcement. Nothing untrue.
Nor do we stretch the truth when we venture it as our opinion that
we've kept our standard fully as high as usual and our prices fully
as low.
Remember This !
At least one firm in town can be depended on to show you a
goodly stock and ask you the fairest of prices, and that firm is
