TODAY IS
LABOR DAY
MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR
CELEBRATING HOLIDAY.
Big Labor Day Parade Will Bo Held
This Morning and Excursion to
Lake Ariel Promises Bay's Enjoy
ment Baso Ball nt Athletic Park,
Racing at Speedway, and Drama,
Burlesque and Vaudeville at Play
housesParade Starts Promptly at
0 O'clock This Morning.
Today Is Lnbor day, and It's going to
bo it Labor day observed as few have
ever been In this city, without any dis
paragement being Intended of the very
complete demonstrations which have
occurred hero In the past on the great
labor holiday,
Special pains have, however, been
taken by the labor unions of the city
and county to mnke today's observance
a red-letter event In the local history
of Labor. This morning's parade la ex
pected to bo the largest and best ar
ranged which has ever trod the city
streets, and nothing hns been left un
done to assure the success of the ex
cursion to Lake Ariel, and the com
plete enjoyment of the thousands who
will nttend,
Tho great majority of city merchants
have responded to the Central Labor
union's request thnt they close their
places of business today and allow their
employes to enjoy and properly cele
brate the occasion, and In addition a
number of storekeeepers have gone to
considerable pains and expense to dec
orate their places of business, which
are along the route of the parade's line
of 'march.
At the lake the principal attraction
will, of course, bo the choral singing,
which was such a notable feature at
last year's labor demonstration nt Luke
Lodore. In addition to this, the usual
picnic diversions will "be open to all de
siring to avail themselves of their
treasures.
NO SPEECIIMAK1NG.
There will be no speechmnklng this
year. President John Mitchell, of the
United Mine Workers, whose stlnlng
speech at last year's excursion Is still
well remembered, will be unable to be
present at Lake Ariel today, but even
in event of his presence It is doubtful
whether there would be any addresses,
ns the committee of arrangements had
decided to omit that feature of last
year's programme. Mr. Mitchell Is In
Philadelphia, whpre he will participate
In the Quaker City labor demonstra
tion. Those who prefer to remain in the
city and celebrate the day at home will
also be given many opportunities of en
joying themselves to the utmost. At
each of the local theatres, with the ex
ception of the Lyceum, there will be a
special Lnbor day matinee, and those
who prefer to spend their afternoon In
contemplation of more athletic amuse
ments can either visit Athletic park
and see a good game of base ball, be
tween the Scranton team and the Lu
zerne ball tossers, or joufey to the
Speedway and witness some excellent
horse racing.
In addition to the regular racing,
there will be an exhibition of driving
by uWilllam Koch, who will put his
Scherzcnda through some pretty fast
heats. Dancing will be In progress, af
ternoon and evening at the Speedway.
The Central Labor union met yester
day afternoon and discussed the ar
rangements made by the committee In
charge of the observance of today. Fol
lowing the meeting, the committee and
sub-committee met, and were in ses
sion until after C o'clock, perfecting de
tails. WILL CLOSE AT 10 O'CLOCK.
It was announced tit the meeting
that President T. J. Foster, of the In
ternational Correspondence schools, had
complied with the request of the com
mittee, und ull the company's employes
will "oo promptly dismissed from work
at 10 o'clock, in order that they may
enjoy the day properly.
P. J. (."onion, of the Carpenters' union,
was made an additional member of the
committee In charge, and Jacob D. Kel
pfr. of the carpenters, was appointed
chairman of the sub-committee and
given charge of all train arrangements
and sale of tickets.
Tho p.rand marshal of the parade and
his aides, the executive committee of
tho parade, and the sub-committee will
meet at the Central Labor union head
quarters, 32 Library building, at 7
o'clock this morning.
The parade will be started promptly
at 9 o'clock. Trains for Lake Ariel will
leave the Erie station at S.43, 11, 11.20
and 1.35 o'clock.
The members of Local No. B2, Gar

SCRANTON TYPOS WON.
They Defeated Their Wilkes-Barre
Brethren in n Lively Ball Game.
A Banquet Followed.
If any jealousy existed between the
Scranton and Wllkes-Hnrre printers, It
was effectively wiped out Saturdny,
both In the base ball game played be
tween representatives of No. 112 and
No. 187, nnd In the banquet and "smoke
talk" which followed.
A month ago the Wllkes-Uarre typos
won a game in this city, nnd the vis
itors wore afterwards entertained nt
supper and by local talent. When the
Scnmton contingent went dowrf to the
Wyoming seminary grounds, about
seventy-live strong, and captured the
game after a hard struggle, their rup
of joy was overflowing.
The social session und banquet pro
vided by the Wllkes-Uarre union far
exceeded anything that the local union
ever attempted, outside of the Frank
Morrison club. A glance over the menu
will convince the most skeptical, after
translating it, that there was no limit
to the layout. Here It Is:

The bill of fare was printed on mat
rix paper, from the Record pressroom,
and tied with hemp. The humorist
who drafted the hand out was not posi
tively identified, but suspicion rests on
McCullom, the Espey snake man, who
can yell better than an ordinary In
dian. The supper was served In Nay
lor's cafe, and after the visitors and
their hosts were fully supplied, a va
ried programme of songs, music,
speeches, etc., were Introduced.
President Kelfer, of the Wllkes-Uarre
Typographical union, was the chair
man, and the talent he produced was
certainly the best In their line that
Wilkes-Barre can produce. A number
of the Scranton boys also assisted in
the entertainment.
The detailed score of the ball game
does not begin to tell the story of the
contest, which was replete with bril
liant pluys and nilspluys. Notwith
standing the string of errors made by
the Scranton boys, they played a good
game, nnd won fairly and squarely.
To particularize on the various plays
would not half tell the story, but the
accompanying details give some Idea
of how the game was won:

POX PITCHED GOOD BALL.
His Last Appearance with Locals
Before Joining tho Philadelphia
National League Team.
Pitcher Jacob Fox made his last local
appearance before joining the Philadel
phia Nutlonal League team a great
success Saturday afternoon, when he
held the strong Plains team down to
jiK' hit, and only allowed them one run,
which was hardly enough to win when
the fact Is considered that the Scran
ton semi-professionals gathered a clus
ter of lour tallies. ,
Fox certainly did good work, strik
ing out seven of the LUKernltes and
only issuing two passes to first base.
Mayock, of the visitors, also pitched
pretty ball. Both teams fielded superb
ly, and gave the two pitchers gilt
edged support.
The visitors were handicapped by the
fact that an Injury to Catcher Mon
roe's hand compelled him to drop his
mask and go to right field. Their regu
lar utwnd baseman was also out of
the game, nnd his place was filled In
differently by Meehan, of Jermyn.
Hughes, who took Monroe's place, be
hind the bat, held Mayock fairly well,
but was unable to prevent the locals
from stealing bases. No less than
eight bugs were pilfered by Wirth's
men. The scoring began in the first
inning, when Garahun completed the
circuit for the visitors. Not to be out
done, Scranton gathered two runs the
same Inning. Madenspacher and
Frantz baited safely, and worked a
double steul. Touhril's Infield drive
was juggled and both men scored.
In the fourth, Dave Owens opened
with n safe drive, and scored, after
stealing second, on Wirth's long smash
to tho outfield. Scranton's last run
come in the eighth, when Ferris batted
safely and scored on Owens lilt.
This afternon the Luzerne team will
be played at Athletic park. "Jose"

team. Saturday's score follows:

WU TING PANG IN CITY.
Celebrated Chinese Minister Passed
Through Here Last Evening on
His Way to Btnghamton.
The news that Wu Ting Fang, the
famed Chinese minister, would pass
through Scranton last evening on his
way to Hinghumton attracted to the
Lackawanna station, a large number
of persons eager to see the great Ori
ental diplomat, who has scored such
distinct triumphs, both from a public
and social standpoint, since his arrival
ut Washington.
Ho came fiom the capital via the
Pennsylvania to Manunka Chunk,
thence using the Lackawanna. He Is
unattended, except by his secretary, a
clever looking young Chinaman. The
train airlved hero at 6.50 o'clock. Min
ister Wu wus In tho dining car; but
on perceiving the crowd outside, came
out on the platform. Ho wus attired
In his Eastern garb.
As his train remained ut the station
for u five minutes' stop, the Chinese
statesman found time to. walk through
the station to the Lackuwunna avenue
entrance, where he gazed blandly up
und down the thoroughfare, and having
Industriously perused some of the strike
accounts sent out from Luzerne, he ap
peared rather surprised that there wus
not In progress a sanguinary battle of
strikers und deputies.
As ho entered his Pullman, nnd the
train left the station a chorus of
friendly faiewells, und hund wuvlngs
accompanied him. Ho will deliver an
uddreHS at Dlngliamtou today,
To u Tribune reporter Minister Wu
denied the report thut he will stay here
for another term as the representative
of his government. He said that he
would remain hero only until his suc
cessor arrives from China, which, how
ever, might be severul months from
now,

DYNAMITING AT
THE NATIONAL
MINOOXA THE SCENE OF TWO
EXPLOSIONS.
The First Put a Pump Out of Service
Late Friday Night, and the Second,
Last Night, Did No Damage.
Teamsters Called Upon to Stop
Hauling Coal West Ridge nnd
Mnrvlne Collieries Expected to
Start Up TIUb Week Searchlight
nt tho Oxford,
Dynamiting Is now being done down
Mlnooka way. Last Friday night, be
tween 11 and 12 o'clock, and last night
ngaln at 8 o'clock, the Nutlonal wash
cry of the North American Coal com
pany, Just ncross the city line, was the
scene of explosions.
The Friday night explosion was n
daring piece of work. 1 The company
had n pump nt the river's edge to sup
ply water to the wushery, and two men
were kept there on guard day and
night. Despite this precaution, some
one succeeded In crawling unobserved
to the pump nnd placing a dynamite
cartridge under It. It Is supposed there
was a long fuse attached and that the
dynamiter was far und away before the
explosion occurred. The guards were
some distance off and escaped with only
a bad scare.
The pump wns badly damaged, but
Manager Sharkey had duplicate parts
at hand and soon had It repaired. Tho
washery continued to work with water
pumped from the Connell mine. Strik
ers later cut off this supply by ealllngj
on me union sieam men at tne breaker
to quit work. Rather than have the
Connftll steam men called out, Manager
Sharkey shut off the water and had re
course to storage reservoirs which he
had established for just such an emer
gency. Tomorrow the washery will be
supplied with water from still another
source, which, according to Manager
Sharkey, will give him a pressure of
140 pounds.
The dynamiting last night caused no
damnge and was Intended only to scare
the men at the washery, so It Is sup
posed. A stick of dynamite was placed
on the dump overlooking the washery
plant nnd exploded, presumably with a
long fuse. No one could be seen about
the place after the explosion occurred.
TO STOP HAULING COAL.
At yesterday's meeting of the Central
Labor union the miners' delegates
asked that the teamsters be called upon
to stop hauling coal. The matter was
discussed at length and a resolution
finally passed calling on the teamsters
to comnlv with the miners' wIkIips Tho
teamsters have a strong union affili
ated with tho Central Labor union. It
embraces both employes of companies
engaged in the delivery or coal and in
dividual owners of teams similarly en
gaged. Big money is being made de
livering coal from the Ovfnrcl nnd nlhor
places now in operation, and it will be
reluctantly, If at all, that the teamsters
will comply with the lequest.
The West Ridge colliery of the On
tario and Western company, and the
Murvlne, of the Delaware and Hudson
company, are expected to resume oper
ations this week. Preparations to that
end are going on at both places.
As an additional means of protection
against attack, the Oxford colliery of
the People's Coal company has been
equipped with a powerful electric
search light, similar to the one the
Scranton Coal company has Installed
at Its Pancoast colliery In Throop. It
wus tested Saturday night for the first
time. Its penetrating rays were flashed
In all directions from the Oxford's high
elevation, and could be seen from near
ly all parts of the city. Each night the
light will search the various approaches
to the breaker for possible prowlers.
In the day time a powerful telescope
Is used.
SCHOOLS WELL SUPPLIED.
The school board fortunately antici
pated a long-drawn-out strike, and ns
a consequence the bins at all the school
buildings were stocked to their utmost
capacity. There Is scarcely any prob
ability that the Scranton schools will
have to close down for" want of fuel.
In many cities, especially the larger
ones it is feared that ir the strike is
not ended before the cold weather sets
In the schools will have to shut down.
Sheriff Schadt wns called to Laeku
wannn, Saturday, by the report of an
other outbreak at the William A. col
liery. It developed that n crowd of
strikers had stoned an engine carrying
provisions to the colliery. No damage
wns done and when the sheriff arrived
everything wus quiet.
Joseph Butz, Nick Coluchl, Tony For
esca, Felicia Cundl and Pascoe Astrlng
er, a quintette of Olyphunt strikers,
were sent to jull, Saturday afternoon,
by Alderman Kusson.Mn default of ball
aggregating $5,500 to answer charges of
Inciting riot nnd making threats. It
was nlleged they Interfered with nnd
abused workmen of the Delaware und
Hudson company, Joseph O'Brien and
James II, Torrey appeared for the pros
ecution. The defendants later took an
appeal, through Attorney John J, Mur
phy, and secured their release by giving
surety before one of the Judges.
FUNERAL OF R. H. WILLIAMS.
Prominent West Side Citizen Laid at
Rest, Saturday.
The funeral of the late Itlchard H.
"Williams, ex-select councilman from
tho Fifth ward, and for many years
foreman at the Continental colliery,
took place Saturday afternoon, nnd wus

tative assemblage.

on Academy street, at the First Welsh
Congregntionul church and at tho

Will Combine the Comfortable and the Artistic;
Not many years ago comfortable and artistic home
furnishing was an achievement only within the reach of (
the few. The masses struggled along with homes meagrely
furnished and were apparently content with their lot.
Not so today. The comfortably furnished home ia
now tho rule, while so highly has the artistic taste been
educated, that the harmonizing of design and coloring
must today be well nigh perfection. ."
Public demand has brought out beautiful examples of
combined comfort and art in the 1002 and 1003 designs
in Furniture, Carpets, Draperies nnd Wall Paper.
While great expense has been nttached to the produc
tion of the coming season's patterns, yet improved facili
ties for manufacture will enable us to offer these newest
of Home Furnishings and Fittings at prices within the
reach of all.
