Entertainments Arranged for Benefit of St. Luke's Summer Home. Scranton will be provided with a splendid series of five entertainments this fall and winter by the entertain ment committee of tho Men's Guild of St. Luke's parish. These entertainments will bo for tho benellt of St. Luke's Summer Home for Women and Children on which a small debt still remains. In arrang ing the course the committee wisely chose entertainments which will ap peal to popular tustes, by being both Interesting and amusing'. The cost of securing the various at tractions Is such that the profit to ac crue to the Home will be comparative ly small, but the committee correctly reasoned that If only tlrst class attrac tions were presented the patrons would feel a double satisfaction In having helped a deserving cause, and In hav ing received full value In the way of entertainment for the money expended. The list of attractions Is as follows: General John H. Gordon, frrert Emorsou Urooks, Willis K. Dudley, Dr. Kdson, Hoyt L. Conarv. General Gordon, who will nppear first, needs no Introduction to a Scran ton audience. His uplcndld lecture on "The Last Days of the Confederacy," coupled with his brilliant oratory and fervid patriotism, was heard by u large audience In the Young Men's Christian Association hall a year or two ago. It Is safe to say that every person In that nudlenre will want to hear General Gordon again. Fred Kmersnn llrooks, tho "Cali fornia Pont," comes highly endorsed by such well known public men ns Presi dent McKlnley, Hon. Chauncey M. De pew. Hon. John Sherman and a host of other promenent public men. Willis K. Dudley is a unique enter tainer with his illustrated talks on the "Adventures of a Kodak Fiend." Im agine the description of a "Kodak Fiend" following Caesar's army or the Crusaders. Dr. Kdson, who was connected with the United States navy during the late war with Spain, nnd whoso magazlno urtlclcs havo been so popular will re lato tho Incidents of the Ilnttle of San tiago, as ho saw them personally. This lecture Is highly endorsed by naval of ficials on account of Its accuracy, and has dellshtcd large audiences in vu rlous cities on nccount of Dr. Kdson's Interesting manner of dellverlnc It. Hoyt L. Conary, the last on the list, 1b regarded as ono of tho greatest mirth provokers of tho day. His "Avuunl the Stove" with character Impersona tions Is ono of tho funniest produc tions that could bo procured ' Ideal Home Site. The salo of West Park lots goes mer rily on with unprecedented rapidity.

Lackawanna and Western rail road, the Home for the Friendless will conduct an excursion to Hlnghamton on Sept. 14. It will probably bo tho best patronized affair of the kind which has ever gone out of Scranton. The said llnanclnl straits of this excellent Institution ore well known and tho public Is unxlous to help the Home. When a trip which ordinarily costs J2.50 Is to be enjoyed for the sum of one dollar, tho opportunity Is one not to be lost. For many reasons MnRhamton has nhvays been the most popular destina tion ever selected for these annual out Jngs. The beautiful city and Its many attractive suburbs, Its parks and trol ley rides afford pleasures for the day, and, too, the business and social con nections of Binghamton and Scranton are nddltlonal Inducements to ro on tho excursion. Tho patronage Is al ways select and conRenlal and tho management Is so admirable as to In vito confidence. It should be remem bered that this year there Is double need for generous support, ns the ex cursion funds will provide bread and butter for the winter. The kind response to recent pleas for help have temporarily tided the charity over a very grave crisis and enabled the treasurer to meet some pressing bills, but there Is now scarcely a dollar In tho treasury ond the nutumnal In terest account will soon be due. Tho excursion funds are absolutely needed for food and domestic expenses. Tho management will be out today selllm? tickets. Give them your cordial wel come. Sale of Building Lots in Scranton.

COOPER COULD NOT EVEN GET A PLACE FAST CYCLERS AT THE BIO WILKES-BARRE MEET. West End Whoelmon's Initial Raco Under tho Auspicos of tho Now National Cycling Association, Brings Togothor Most of tho Crack-n-Jack Oyclors of tho Country. Kiser Won His Heat and Raco but His Rival for tho Championship Could Not Qualify. Five most Interesting cycle races marked the tlrst day of the sixth an nual grand circuit meet of the West Knd Wheelmen nt West Side park, Wllkes-Rarre, yesterday. It was tho first meet to be held these parts un der the auspices of the National Cy cling association, and It Is safe to say It will not be tho last, Judging from Its success. Some of the best men In the coun try were among the contestants and as an additional and hlehly novel feat ure there was a motor-cycle paced race between two of the most famous of long distance men, Miller, the world's champion, and Henry Cald well, the middle distance crack of Bos ton. Among the most noted of the parti cipants were IOarl Klser, Tommy Coop er, Hardy Downing, the Sims Rrothers, A. C. Mortens, Hob Wnlthour, Al. New house, K. D. Stevens, Jay Katon, Otto Mayo. JohnT. Fisher, Frank L. Kra mer, national amateur champion; George II. Collet, John II. Lakp, War ren Zurbrlck. F. A. McFarland, H. R. Freeman, Owen Kimble, nearly all of whom have or have recently had a national championship of some kind In their possession. Miller proved tho big favorite. When.be was Intro duced, with mention of his great per formances In the six day races and in the seventy-two nnd one hundred hours races In France, there was loud nnd long applause. TRACK WAS FAST. The track was In fine condition and the dny was perfect for racing, cloudy, windless and just the proper tempera ture. Alexander's band occupied a pavilion alongside the judges' stand and enlivened the finishes nnd re cesses ns only Alexander nnd his men can do. The feature of the racing was the failure of Tommy Cooper to get a place. He was looked upon as a fairly sure winner of the mile championship, but disappointed everybody by falllntr down completely. This is his style, however, strong one day and weak tho next. It Is his turn to be strong to day. In tho matter of general Interest, however, tho motor cycles, or Infernal machines, as they have come to be called, were the great feature. They are certainly a wonderful thing, even for these days of marvelous moving machines. In nppearance they aro like a tandem In action, they are a cross between a bicycle and an nut ) mobile. In fact, they are both, for they can be propelled solely by the rider or by- the machinery without the aid of the rider. In a brief way, they are long tandems, carrying a naptha engine between the two wheels. Tho riders and englner work In unison, tho power contributed by all three be ing concentrated at the high-geared rear wheel. The engine does the hard work; the riders furnish the speed. The rear riders attends to tho ensln-, as well as helping to peddle, while tho front rider sets the pace and does the steering. MILE PROFESSIONAL. The first event, the one-mile profes sional, 2.10 class, developed on exciting finish In each of tho three heats and the final. The first heat was paced by Caldwell and was fast for a half-mile unbankod track, 2.13 1-5. Mortens paced tho next two heats and brought the string around in lively fashion In the second, but allowed a loaf In the third, as the time, 2.23, Indicates. Eaton and Fisher, who held tlrst and second place In the third heat, won tho final In the same order. The one-half mile open, amateur, was run In three heats. In the first heat Frank L. Kramer, of New York, the amateur champion, had ns his com petitors George II. Collett. of New Haven, who won three short distance championships at Indianapolis last year. Elmer J. WUIman and Russell H. Pohl, of Wllkes-Rarre, also ran. Pohl had a spill at the first turn, but picked himself up nnd actually passed tho champion nnd Collett, but they didn't stay passed for more than n few sec onds. Kramer jumped in and took the lend easily and came listlessly under the wire, leading Collett by a wheel. Aaron Zurbrlck. of Ruffalo; J. H. Lake, of New York, and Andrew Gnff ney, of Wllkes-Rarre, made a close nnd exciting finish In the second heat. Zurbrlck and Lake crossed the tape at the samo Instant and a dead heat was declared. Some thought this would en title Gnffney to a place In tho final, but they were disappointed when the judges nnnounced that he muBt bo con sidered a third when there were two Ilrsts. Tho third heat was a veritable loaf nnd the crowd yelled for them to be called back. G. Hurt Hart, William Croughn, Charles Ncubler and C. A. Ilroun, all of Wllkes-Rarre, were the starters. Hart won, with Rrown sec- Today We offer Large xxx Yellow Peaches in Crate and Baskets. Fruit Strictly Fancy, Wholesale Prices to Families. E. Q.

The final was a victory for Collett and Zurbiick over Champion Kramer, the latter being caught napping when tho time for the sprint came. The time was 1.07. MILE CHAMPIONSHIP. There were thirty-two entries nnd starters In tho one-mile championship, professional. In tho first heat was Or lando Stevens, Downing, Will Sims and Eaton; In the second, McFarland, Cooper, Walthour and George Kramer; In tho third, II. R. Freeman, E. D. Stevens, Kimble nnd Klser; fourth heat, Newhouse, John T. Fisher, Mayo, Uabcock and Fred Sims. In the second heat, when Cooper fnlled to get a place, McFarland nnd Walthour came In a tie and McFar land won tho toss. The crowd believed that Walthour had won nnd hissed tho decision. Kiser's finishes were of the Garrison style nnd mode him n great favorite. The handicap was a hard bit of rac ing for the scratch men, but they man aged to overtake tho first bunch In the fourth mile and had the contest at the finish to themselves, Kramer, Zur brlck, Lake and Collett finishing lrfthe order named. There were fifteen start ers, nil the others being local amateurs. Miller's poor condition, because of his arrival on tho track an hour before the race and an nccldent to his ma chine, gave Caldwell a walkover In the motor-cycle contest, the Boston man winning by three-quarters of a mile.
