Hiivo you scon the pretty Suusu.au03 ami Parasols for the pres
ent season ? That is, havo you scon si full collection of all the
novelties and beauties that fashion has decreed shall be worn
with smart toilets, for walking, coaching, otc.?
They're All Here Today
And form a lovely object lesson on refined elegance and exquis
ite taste. Tho most astonishing feature about our parasol and
sunshade stock this year, howover, is tho amount of prettinoss
that comparatively little money will buy. In all our twenty
years of sclliug, Scranton cash never wont so far as today.
White Parasols
, of pin white silk, with cord bars
and deep stripe bordeis are much
sought for. No end to our assort
ment. Plain white centers, with
rich corded stripe edge in plain eol
01 s are also wanted, while lace in
sertlngs and solid color bordeis are
considered quite swell.
Lace inserting effects ate dainti
ly introduced into pluln white China
silk Paiasols, while the airiest and
dressiest creations are modeled in
breezy chiffon rullles and gathering
or ruttlcd all over in guzzy white
China silk of high lustre.
Then, there's the velvet trimmed
parasol, a revival of the days of
Auld Lang Syne. These have fancy
silk covers in plain shades, polka
dots, etc., nnd while quiet In gen
eral appearance, are exceedingly
effective when used as a color con
trast. The children never got so much
attention from us before In the
way of parasols. Styles are Just as
pretty as thoso for the grown up
folks, and tho variety Is quite as
great. Parasol prices this year be
gin nt 19 cents and run to $19 if you
want to.
Ladies' Waists
In Prints or White
Wo've got low priced waists in
abundance nnd better values in
them than you can get elsewhere.
Today, however, we're talking
mainly of lino shirt waists with
stylo and beauty in them.
At 69c and 89c
All the right weaves and most ex
quisite solid color and printed ef
fects are shown. The trimmings
and materials are just as women of
judgment and good taste would
have them.

White Waists
In Dainty Styles
Words are lost in attempting a
description of these beautiful white
shirt waists. The art displayed In
their get up Is simply wonderful,
but In it all, the comfort of the
wearer has never been lost sight of.
At $1.25
Wo offer a waist equal to tho
best 31.75 value to be had elsewhere,
while
At $1.50
wo can easily duplicate the best of
the usual $2 sort. Does a plump
half dollar saving on such a trifle
interest you? Other values just as
good up to $1.
Pique and
Linen Skirts
Most carefully selected line in
town. Good plain qualities, braid
ed and barred skirts; very elabor
ate skirts. Prices from $7.00 down
to tho kind that aro figured In cents

skirts that will not look as well
after they leave your laundry as
they did before they went there.

EVENTS OF DAY IN
WEST SCRANTON
P.OABD OF TRADE MET IN REG
ULAR SESSION LAST NIGHT.
Talk Over Several Matters of Interest
to Property Owners Outlook Is
Bright for tho Location of a Silk
Mill Pianoforte Pupils' Recital
Tonight Children Entertained.
Burglars on Eynon Street Flro on
South Mala Avenue Other Notes
of Interest.
The West Side board of trade held a
regular meeting last evening and 1
passed upon several matters pertain
ing to this section of tho city. From
what was gleaned from the reports,
the location of n Bilk mill here In tho
near future is a possibility.
The members present were Hector
Campbell, Joseph I. Phillips, William
Farrell, Joseph Oliver, C. E. Daniels,
Edward M. Clarke, Thomas F. O'Royle,
B. G, Morgan, A. B. Holmes, Thomas
Watklns, T. Fellows Mason, Jenkln T.
Reese, P. F. Struppler, S. R. Jones
and John R. Fnrr.
The 'meeting was called to order by
President Daniels shortly after 8
o'clock. Secretary Oliver read the
minutes of the last meeting and they
were adopted as read. Several bills
were presented nnd ordered paid. E.
M. Clarke, for the manufactures' com
mittee, reported tho visit of Duffy
Brothers on Saturday and Sunday last
in the interest of the proposed silk mill
nnd stated that the outlook is very
favorable for their location hero,
R. G. Morgan reported the visit of the
Duffys several weeks ago and stated
that if tho manufacturers could bo as
sured of proper sewer facilities they
would undoubtedly locate here. They
want a good location, where plenty of
help can bo obtained easily, and do
not nsk any particular favors.
Secretary Oliver stated that the plot
of ground offered by John II. Fellows
on Seventeenth street Is available, pro
vided tho land Is used for manufact
uring purposes only nnd that the mill
employs a sufficient number of hands.
SEWERS BEFORE PARKS.
Dr. Struppler reported for tho park
committee nnd said that nothing had
been done us yet. Secretary Oliver
reported having conversed with Com
missioner Bedford, who desires a con
ference with tho board's committee.
Mr. O'Roylo expressed the opinion
that the bond ordinance for parks
would not go through councils, as there
appears to be a growing necessity for
sewers nt tho present time nnd the
board ought to make an effort to secure
some of the money for sowers.
Mr. Farrell believed that if tho mat
ter of parks for West Scranton was
left to the park commissioners there
would not be much accomplished and
that the matter should be taken up
by tho board, particularly for the
Round Woods.
The report of Treasurer Farrell for
the year was read and placed on file.
Arrangements will be. made to bring
out a full membership at the next
meeting by the committees in charge.
The matter of taking some action
relative to the sewers was again
brought up and Mr. Campbell ex
pressed tho opinion that the whole city
could be made a park it it was properly
sewered.
A motion prevailed that it is the
sense of tho board that the emount
of money proposed for the Improve
ment of parks In the bond ordinance
be made available for sewers.
A resolution on the death of George
Benore was adopted and a copy ordered
furnished the family of deceased.
AS TO PAVE REPAIRS.
Mr. Farrell reported for the commit
tee who waited on the mayor relative
to the Barber asphalt contract, and said
that funds are necessary to carry on
the suit In equity now pending in court,
and a motion prevailed that the moral
and financial aid of the board be ren
dered In the present litigation.
A special committee of three was ap
pointed to confer with the mayor and
chief of the lire department relative to
the purchase of a new engine for the
Franklins. Tho committee appointed
was Joseph Oliver, E. M. Clarke and
B. G. Morgan.
Mr. Fnrr reported the appropriation
of $10,000 for maintenance of the West
Side hospital by the state, and ?S,7.r.O
to apply on tho mortgage, and stated
that an ambulance was needed at tho
hospital.
The possibilities of Keyser Valley ns
an industrial centre were also dis
cussed and several other matters of
lesser importance.after which the board
adjourned.

BLACK HILL PRODUCTS.
Great Wealth in Cattle nnd Sheep
Products Now Developing.
It I-! thought by t-ny uninformed
people that the Black Hills produce
nothing of value but products from tho
mines. During the past year, says tho
St. Louis Globe-Democrat, there weru
shipped from Belle Fourche 2.500 car
loads of cattle, with an estimated valu
ation of $2,275,000. From Rapid City
about 500 carloads were shipped, valued
at $175,000. From the cattle district con
tiguous to Edgemont. in the southern
hills, It Is estimated that 2,000 carloads
of cattle were shipped, with a value of
$1,900,000 This makes a total valuation
of tho cattle shipped from tho Black
Hills ranges of $1,750,000. Tho estimated
value of the horses shipped Is placed
at $500,000, the building stono $300,000,
the manufactured brick $100,000, lum
ber $1,000,000, lime and stucco $25,000,
and $7,r)0,000 for tho output of gold.
The sheep Industry of the hills has as
sumed largo proportions in the past
year.
Five years ago there were not moro
than halt a dozen docks In Pennington
county, now there are thousands. There
were shipped from Rapid City during
the year 125,000 pounds of wool, valued
at $17,500, and from Pierre about 300,000
pounds wero shipped, which came for
the most part from the Black Hills
ranges. This makes a total of 423,000
pounds, valued nt $59,000. It Is esti
mated that 10,000 sheep wero shipped
for mutton, valued at $30,000.
Tho largest sheep district Is In tho
vicinity of Edgemont. It Is. estimated
that 500,000 pounds of wool wer shipped
during the year, valued at $70,000.
Eighteen thousand sheep were shipped
east for mutton, valued at $31,000. This
makes a total of $211,500 which tho
sheepmen of tho Black Hills ranges
havo received from their sheep during
the year It Is stated that the number
of sheep will be moro than doubled In
the next five years.
Tho Black Hills ranges are especially
adapted for tho raising of sheep, and
many of tho largest cattle companies
are disposing of their herds and In
vesting In sheep.
