HAVE PASSED MILLION MARK. Colonel L. A. Watres Will Give n Dinner In Observation of Event. Colonel L. A. Watres, president of the County Savings Bank and Trust company, gives a dinner this evening at the Scranton club to the oftlcers and board of directors of tho bank. This Is carrying out a promise to do so when tho deposits of the County bank reached the million dollar mark, which amount they have now exceed-ed. H HER POINT OF VIEW Military parades after all are tho real parades. A little maid looking on as the procession moved up Jefferson avenue the other day, said In a disap pointed tone, "Dear me, nothing but soldiers; where arc some of the uvver ling?" To which query her small brother remarked Indignantly, "Oh, you're a gltl. lou don't know that soldiers are the only things worth while In the world. I s'pose you'd rather see a hand oigan and a monkey go by. You inuke mo tired!" and tho little mnld was thoroughly snubbed not fore-seeing in her busy little brain tlie days not so far distant when a Uniterm with brass buttons and the lordly leaves on a blue sleeve or per haps only a narrow strap on th shoulder will look to her feminine gaze the noblest, ilnest sight on earth. There is a sentiment nbout a strict ly military parade that Is characteris tic of no other whether R may bo the glittering regalia of some fam ous order with Its slddy aprons, tho waving plumes and the gorgeous banners or the inarching columns cele brating some great political victory. Tlie rows upon tows of soldiers repre sent a heritage of history of "battle's magnificent array" of Boman legions, of "furious Trank and fiery Hun," of Cnstllllan nobles under the standard of Spain's proudest days, of Henry of Navarre and his splendid soldiery, of England'; knights following him of tlie Lion-Heart of unhappy Marino Follerl and tlie glory of Venice and beyond those years to the memory of a rich dim city where the Blameless King held his court itmld tlie chiv alry of tlie Table Round nnd marched to battle for his Lord, for purity and for tho light, . The soldiers of Pennsylvania have no frills and there is the absence of glitter and display that at the presi dential Inaugurations: have elicited the loproaches of lino ladles who from their window casements lamented audibly: "Oh, there are those tiresom? Penn sylvania troops! Wo believe they Just mareh round and round in an endless chain for they never seem to get past." Their fatigue bats droop dolefully in tho back, or make fantastic curves nt tho side or stand up partly in front. Even their lcgulntion caps are wobbly in places because the youngsters, so many of them are youngsters you know, with tlie perversity of youth and the obliquity of vision that some times characterizes a soldier and even i hero, have pulled the wires from these caps because they looked so much like tlie headgear of a street car con ductor or a motnrman, although not unfrequently street car men are al most ns heroic in their special sphere as a member of tho regular army. Well the Thirteenth regiment could not bo said to depend on line clothes for good looks, since as far as attire went, the men were rather shabbier than the Eleventh with their new uniforms, but they did look hand some to everybody and everybody was as glad to see them and ns proud of them as It they had "tit" and bled and almost died in battle. There is a sentiment connected with a military parade and particularly with this one that Is a good thing to awaken in the average heart. a i. There is nothing th" matter with the uniform of tlie governor's staff how ever, and tlie governor has used excel lent discrimination In selecting ttaff material if one Is to judge by appear ance's. The glorilled epaulets and tho system of martingales in braided gold across the broad chests of those staff olbccrs were poroly Impressive beyond most mundane affairs. As a man in tha audience remarked the other night: "Nobody could doubt that the conn try was safe after looking at that second row on tlie? stage-." If only the other half of the staff could have been present, nothing would have remained to be desired. Oddly enough Pittsburg was best represented as to numbers, Philadelphia, as usual, being slow. Mrs. Stone did not come and thereby Scrantonlans who wanted to get a glimpse of the governor's handsome young wife were not n little disap pointed. She would have been mo3t graciously received not only for her own sweet sake but because the peo ple here greatly admire the big gov ernor who says such sensible things in such nn earnest way and so contlnu ally Impresses everyone with his sin cerity. If lie Is good and keeps on making such favorable impressions in tills citv, the Thirteenth regiment and its friends will let him have a warm place in their hearts similar to that now labeled "General Gobln, His Quarters.'' FNBIDDEN GUESTS. Last night, in the sweet chill moonlight, As tho bluo clad troops marched in To meet mayhap forever No moro ns comrade kin, Tho streets grew softly silent As the latest soldier boy Passed through the welcoming doorway For an hour of greeting Joy. And never a llst'nlng watcher Saw u little band of men, Who hoveied just oi.lsldo the portal And shivering, hearkened again To a far faint bugle railing From a Southern Army camp. Like u note of doom upsw oiling Out of the dark and damp. The faces were white 'neath the leaning Of the blue caps' vlsored (.hade. And never a lightest whisper Tho palo lips grimly mndo; But they waited outside tho portal While tho drum-beats rolled within. And voices told of the gladness With speech and merriest din. Never to Join In tlie revel 'Round the camp fire, gleaming late; Never, at dear home comlrg. To rush Into nuns that Malt; Never to murmur "Comrade." And hold with tensest hand Ono who Is rroro than brother In the fondly-loved command.

YOUNG MEN'S FORUM HAVE A BANQUET IN ADDITION THREE SOLDIER MEMBERS ARE GREETED. Tables Were Spread at the Hotel Rudolph and Almost All the Mem bers Were Present The Soldier Members Were Welcomed by C. W. Zimmerman, and L. B. Carter Made tho Response Attorney W. J. Douglass Presided at the Post Prandial Exercises. Over a year ago a number of tho members of tho Younsr Men's Christian nsfcociatlom met and organized a "Young Men's Forum," the purpose of which was to caln mutual benefit by discussion of tin' current topics of tho day and methods of pood Rovernment. From first tn last the Interest In the Forum was sustained nnd each meet inc; has resulted in positive gain. hast night ns a tlttiiifr close to the first year's work, a bannuet was held at the Hotel Rudolph and with but a few exceptions every member was pres ent. Though originally intended only as a bannuet. a pleasant adjunct was created- by tho return of tho Thir teenth regiment In whose ranks were three of the Forum's most active mem bers. Thus the affair, by necessity lost a part of Its identity us a banquet; becoming a leception to the soldler niembers. The gentlemen accorded the honor were T. A. Surdam, (Jeorge W. Walton nnd Lewis II. Carter, till privates in Company D. At the conclusion nf the m.mu cigars were passed and the re sponse to toasts were made. Each speaker Indicated the benefit which has certainly com? to him by tlie sessions of tho society nnd the responses though short, were brimful of good substance. The menu, well seleeted and properly served, was us follows: Blue Points on Ilulf Shell. Soup Consomme, I'rlntanlerre, Royal Fish. Broiled Shad. Pommes .Parlslennc Relishes. Celery Olives Dill Pickles Kntrees Fillet of Beef, with Mushrooms French reus Pattt Buchess, u la Relne Salsify Creamed Apolllnarls Taste. Roasts Tin key. Cranberry Hauee Mashed Potatoes I.amb, Mint Sauce. Salad Lobster Mayonnaise Dessert Pistachio Ico Cream Assorted Cake Fruit Roquefort Cheese crackers Cafo Xolr RESPONSES TO TOASTS. Attorney W. J. Douglass, acting as toastmaster, made a few remarks in opening tlie post-prandial exercises. Ho greeted tho guests of honor In be liulf of the Forum nnd expressed tho pleasure felt by all that they were once more In their accustomed places. Ho then called upon O. W. Zimmer man, who was recently a candidate for otllco in Dunmore borough, to deliver the address of welcome. Mr. Zimmerman referred to the go Ing away of tho regiment, the loss felt by the Forum In the absence of three of Its active members, and tho pride felt by tlie society that they were well represented. Also of the return and their delight In having the soldier members once more In their midst. He concluded his remurks with the thought that the affair of the evening marked the opening of a new era to tho Forum In which they could take Just pride. In behulf of the soldier trio, L. P.. Carter replied to the address of wel come. He said that the pleasures of camp over-shadowed the hardships, and he knew that ho and his com rades wero proud of having gone with the regiment, but wero very glad to bo back. "Our New Colonies," the toast as signed to F. C. Baker, was cleverly responded to. The speaker was serio SPRING MILLINERY. GRAND OPENING.

"Once a nation, now become a power," lie said, "we will be drawn into the controversies which affect the world." II. B. Wilbur, In responding to the toast "Political Forecast," kept his hearers In a continual .state of merri ment by his commingling of actualities with unseemly possibilities. The toast "Tho Girls They Left Be hind Them," was responded to by A. E. Scholl, Isaac Hnslam nnd Ralph E. Weeks. Neither of the three were com mittal. COLLEGE EDUCATION A BENEFIT. Adam Kaufman responded to the subject "Our Colleges." The main thought was that the college education, though not a necessity, was of prime benefit. In responding to the toast "Future of the Forum," W, A. Price touched upon the nspects as they were, are and in part, should be. Tho Forum was well begun, had run the course of one year with deserved success and en tered upon a second with hope and experience. Tlie first nnnunl banquet of tho For um then came to a close with the giv ing of three lusty cheers for tlie soldier-members. Tlioso who wero present are: W. A. Price, Adam Kaufman, Frederick W.

II II II The Interest in the Rosenthal con certs continues unabated, and tho ap pearance of the great pianist at the Lyceum in Scranton on Apt II 12th. is liable to create enthusiasm almost equal to that upon his first appearance at Carnegie Hall, New Yoik, when the young ladles of tho audience threw violets at tho virtuoso. The Morning: Advertiser In speaking of one of the New York concerts, fully Justifies the admirers of tho artist In their unusual display of enthusiasm. The advertiser says: "This is Rosenthal week In the world of music. Carnegie Hall yester day afternoon was well filled with lov ers of the art of playing tho piano per fectly, and the Napoleon of pianists sent them away satisfied, happy, and enthusiastic. At the close, after he had played Liszt's preposterous arrange ment of the William Tell overture, the crowd yelled itself hoarbe and I saw handkerchiefs and hats waved and the little virtuoso had to play again. Ho gave us the gem of the afternoon, ono of three supplementary 'etuhles, 'the one In A flat. Any doubt about his tone color or tenderness was refuted by hla exquisite interpretation of this v charming bit of Chopin. It was the most poetic plnyng lie has vouchsafed us tills season. :. !l 'i The Wllkos-Barro Times In a criti cism of tlie concert given In that city recently by the Ilemberger stringed quartette, pays a deserved compliment to tlie work of one of Scranton's most talented musicians ns follows, in speak ing of Prof. Weinberger's latest com position: "The Ilemberger Quartette Suite in D, which Is tlie work of the fertile brain of Mr. Ilemberger, after whom the qunrtet is named and who played the first violin, made a decided bit. Tlie Welgenllcd, full of Ideas that depict the joys and sorrows of childhood, a spright ly llttlo wnltez. a sad little Elegie, end ing with n spirited humoroske, with just the slightest suggestion of the pop ularstamped Mr. Ilemberger as a composer of ability. The Svenden num ber. Op. 1, quartet In A Minor, though not possessed of the depth of the Beethoven number, was considered by many to be the gem of the evening. In It the qunrtet used tho full broad Norwegian stylo of bowing with fine . , ,. , A effect, tho combined effect being llkoT the tones of a pipe organ. The last movement, Allegro, with fire was es pecially worthy of mention." II II II Daniel J.
