was formally opened lust

those who Intel u patt In
Ihiit lirllllant scene.
It Itns been ninny and' ninny n
year since Scruntnn hint a mill

they vvVnt away to win these have
repiescnled most of the social foatuies
connected with the Scranton gilnid
since Hh cai'llest hlstniy, The time

'Miiatp with Its Itnpmtnncp In the
stnto spivIcp Inn that was In phi lid'
enis. Within the os-petlence of the
ciungcr genoiutlnns, guaid life lias
been a solicits business with few fillls.
Surely though I' has been woitli

of gaiety wltii onlv the cull to illlty for
thlr notes, this somlne rij,v distance
iteioss which Is lellected onlv tlie
monotonous rontlnp of camp and
. weiity maichps and stilling Journeys
It h,i been worth while to wait al
most n scene of yens for the culmin

mmc thing to icnipinbei. whatever the
e,ur, may bring In honor and dignity
to our national ginnd, which has le
eched all too little icvvaid In Penn-
S.vlVillllll.
Perhaps there wele those present
who could recall more brilliant scenes
than that which grceti d their ejeo,
last niclit lint it Is to he doubted.
The memories of hall looms glowing
with light and beauty, the bieatli of
countless loses on the air, the .spell
of sweetest music In the par. the
pictutps of halls ablaze with banneis,
the iccollectlons of some famed spec
tacular fete must have passed lile a
Mori befoie the mental iPtlna of
many, as the full i evolutions of the
pageant broke upon their gaze: but
it luav lie said with conviction that
nothing ol u similar clmiaeter in the
way of a gieat public entertainment
has stit passed the appearance of the
new niinnty on this occasion.
Imagine n vast loom almost a block
long and half as wide, over which was
lifted a mighty men. whose ilhs of
steel wete goigeou.sly hidden by miles
of hunting, in the national colors of
Ameiica and the national colors of
eeiy other country beneath the sun:
splendid Hags, the blue field glutei lug
v Ith siais- deep festoons in tints
which gladden the eve on land or sea
rind sk ; Muttering banneiis whose
folds fell softly fiom massive stand
aids ; deep droop'ing penanls in hues
dear to the patriotic heart. All this
nir.df up ii ihangeful canopy ulieie
the gaze loved to linger. It lose above
a f.iuy-land of beauty, which stretched
In far-touching lines to break at either
ml in ma.iesiic balconies crowned by
trim cl and healing, like larest .iewols,
the llnuiiiig elect ilea I dpvices. whose
.la.ltng splendor the eye might not
dwell on too closely.

Last night, 'mid a scene of tho

while it was a great disappointment
to the cotntnlltep to receive excuses'
fiom the clebiltles who linil promb-od
to come, the absence of these same
iclcliiltles detracted very little tiotn
the geneial success of the affair. In a

tlie attiactlveness of llgilie, fare and
mi I lag" which the glldt;d Mappings
eniased, that added to the affair a
novelty that was at once picturesque
and geneiiillv Insplilng.

the asphalted rloor icserved for prom

square foot. top. sides, ends and bot
tom of the vast assembly, or drill
loom, wa hidden from view.
At the fni end a raised dancing floor,
elevated eight inches above the asphalt,
and covin ed with white ciash, and
filnged about with plants and tloweis
to an aveiage height!) of tin oc- feet,
was tlie most sti iking, if not the most
beautiful of the appointments
Occupying about the aine quantity
of space as tho dancing tloor, were tlets
of (hairs facing the riont galleiy. to

tlie speakcts.
The side-walla weie hidden by the
hoses and the boxes In turn weie hid
den bv a complete covering of bunting,
and (lags and carpeted with ciash.
The ends were taken up with gal
lflies, and the fionts of these, with
the walls above them, weie most elab
orately decoiated.
At the faither galleiy in which Bau
er's band was accommodate"', the Hill
ing was hidden behind a baud of foli
age extending the whole width of the
loom and unbroken save by the plee
tileal illuminations, which lelleved its
too somber gieen. The center of this
band of foliage was a gieat electrical
pt acock, with outspiead featheis. It
was the piinoipal piece of Illumination,
although theie weie many to claim this
distinction, for the "waving tlass"
made of eleetile lights, which bedecked
tlie end walls above the speaker's gal

the hanging (lower pots, jeweled mIHi

suspended abovx the iailln of tlie

lights that as stai to this dome of

To say It in a wold, what space was
not taken up by decoiatlon was made
an abiding place for illumination.
The sight was truly magnificent.
Sciautou never beheld its like befoie.
' Define the exeicises began and only

The height ot the beauty of the siene

Ppiinsylvanla has reason to be proud
or her soldiers In war and In peace.
No gi under pages ndorn the history ot
our country than those devoted to the
deeds of (lie soldiers of Pennsylvania
In every struggle she has been en
gaged tu. They have ever been willing
to lay down their lives in the defense
or the nation. Pennsylvania made
hemic sacrifices In the civil war and
In the Spanish-American war. When
the president called for volunteeis the
governor offeied the National tlunid
of the state. No state In the union
furnished Its tiuoto so promptly and
no soldiers did better service tiian the
guni dsmen of Pennsylvania. Think
of the valor of the Tenth regiment in
the Philippines, but they did not sur
pass In heroism tlie other Pennsylvan
lans who lay In the fever-stricken
camps of the .south waiting for the
command to go to the front. These
camps did as deadly work as tho bul
lets of the enemy.
"The National (Iuaiil a conserva
tor of the peace, tl makes men bet

soldier and a bad citizen. 'When you
go a In nail you find there Is some
honor In being a member of the Na

this state you find there Is some honor
In being a member of the Thltteenth

"On behalf of the governor T enn
gtatulale you on the possession of this
beautiful aimory. I hope this iegi

and that the people of the state will
