: What heroic sacrifices women Of
s'position" will make for their social
duty.
This has been wild and stormy
spring. Last weeks great gale, which
was felt over the entire country, tore
the sea into foaming waves and tossed
even the biggest of the ocean grey
hounds on their beam ends. That
early Thursday morning found the sun
new risen on a yeasty and heaving bay
which gave promise of big seas out
side the Hook you may not remember.
but 1 have cause to do SO; for on that
fateful day l met on the sffivery deck
Of the Fuerst Bismarck away over in
classic Hobozen lady of tragic mien
and face pale but sternly set. She had
lowers galore and fine raiment in store
for her London season; and she had
oranges and lemons and vinaigrettes
and dozen or SO of champagne, and
Ell the other remedies FOR seasickness.
Yet she was not happy.
"Ny dear" said she as her dainty
foot touched the gangplank-andt there
She stopped and looked for moment,
as if the ships engines themselves
couldn't pull her aboard-"my dear, 1
know tho fate / am inviting. I have
crossed ten times and the last voyage
was as bad as the first. The torture of
the rack and thumbscrew would be
nothing to the agony / shall suffer. I
do not expect to leave my berth-at
least, not to go on deck-until we reach

look of wan misery they bear when
they begin to fear that they are not
going to die.
Because the duties-Oh, well, Won

there's Helen" And by this time, with

wraps altogether, perhaps Because She
had stunning tailor made of dark
gray cloth buttoned in peculiar man
ner down the side and with a scallop
edged yoke such as tailor gowns sell
dom had. But all these diverse tastes
in wraps augured not diversity of
mind. For did they not all agree that
the coming constitutional convention
of New York should strike the word
male" from its mean old qualifica-
tions of voters?
Not all the Sne gowns have yet been
packed away in steamer trunks for
London fog to spoil There was pref
ty dress, of London make, too, worn at
little ball the other night which
shows how much charm may go with
the utmost simplicity. 1t was ''com-
ing out" dress, for even in these hard
times daughters do come out The
skirt was perfectly plain light steely
gray silk. The waist and the balloon
sleeves. the latter bigger than is usual
nowadays, were of white MORE, figured
and lined in most peculiar fashion.
And that the gown might not lack en-
phasis and expression, there was lit
tie jet edged point in front at the
waist. and upon the shoulders two
square black velvet epaulettes of COM
manding size. At the right side of the
neck opening was worn q single huge
rose. ELLEN OSBORN.

mighty shudder and heartbreaking
sigh, she began slowly mounting the
gangplank, followed by the Helen
aforesaid, by half a dozen friends, my
self included, and by a troop of obse-
guious porters. Helen was troubled by
no vision OF seasickness. She was be-
witchsngly rosy in the raw wind, and
looked altogether fit for tussel with
sloping decks and driving spray, with
the male help that always comes so nat
nraHy to pretty girls at sea. She had
her shore raiment packed in big trunks
away down in the hold, and shone in a
ut garb Of stout shoes, narrow blue
skirt. fully three inches from the deck,
natty blue yachting jacket, with a
CLEAN of white braid here and there,
and a blue yachting cap, with
gilt emblem over the visor. When
pnce out of sight OF the dock she
will reappear in heavy, wool-lined
English macintosh Beneath her
yachting cap no tendril or curl of
sunny hair is allowed to stray. The
damp would make it limp and drag

ST. LUKE'S EXCURSION
Thirteen Hundred Persons Were Taken 10
Lake Ariel.
HELP FOR Hearts and BODIES
Mems Guild OF the Parish Conducted
the Trip Which Meant Strength,
Joy and Fresh Air for the Excur-
sionists-Required Train Of
Twelve Cars to Transport the
Throng-How Casual Observer
Saw IT.

Thirteen hundred hearts made glad
That is the record of the Mems guild
Of st. Luke's Episcopal church yester-
day by their free fresh air excursion
for tired mothers, children and debili-
tated and aged women to Lake Ariel,
where, if but for day, these 100 pso
pls were given their fill OF invigoraJing
ozone and hours OF tremendous and
unalloyed pleasure.
To a casual onlooker with charita-
BILE heart, the outgoing and returnin z
scenes at the Erie and Wyoming VAL
ley depot at Pine street and Washing
ton avenue offered ample food for graf
liication. Long before the time of
leaving, the prospective excursionists
began to arrive There were wifeless
fathers carrying children Of toddling
years, wau-eyed mothers with nursing
babes. old women gladdened and made
children again by visions of a scene of
woodland and placid waters. All these
and others comprised the excited and
careworn throng that departed in the
early morning.
la the cool Of the evening when the
trainload of Twelve cars rolled into the
same station it contained sleeping
babies, mothers with hair dishevelled,
perhaps, but restfully weary and with
eyes brighter and with steadier thrOb
of heart; children with a new found
color in their cheeks, some laughing
aud chatting and many in groups
singing songs; com mmitteemen and
Committee-womon fatigued but i'm
bued with the happiness of their
charges; and surrounding the whole,
from the painting engine to- the red flag
on the rear car, hung bright veil OF
unadulterated joy.
FOR ALL SECTs AND CREEDs.
1t WAS discriminating and indescri-
minating chlrity-the former, because
it was given only for the deserving and
respectable whose means are too liml
ted 10 permit even Of one days release
from the hot and debilitating air of the
city, and discriminating because il
was confined to no particular sex, creed
or nationality. Not more than five
per cent. were Episcopalians.
This was the eighth annual excur-
sion of the kind given by the men OF
st. Luke's parish. and if it were neces-
sary to prove that these excursions
have developed into occurrences which
appeal to the universal and general in
terest of Scranton people. the curl
ously inclined would only need to ac-
company one of the excursions or
watch the throngs going or returning.
There were seventy five mothers
with nursing babes in yesterday s
trainload; some of these little ones
were sickly AMI fretful, others were
bealthful but all were benefited by
even so brief a change out in nature :

garden, and surely the anxious and care
worn mothers were fortified.
1t was conservatively estimated that
700 of the excursionists were children
under seven years Of age. The remainder
of the party was composed principally
OF aged women and parents accom-
panying their children or present be-
cause Of absolute need of rest.
To describe how these 1900 babes,
parents and children. equal in number
to the population Of many thriving
towns. passed the day would make
a volume. 1t ia sufficient to say that
the lake never bore upon its surface a
more contented throng. nor did it seem
that the swings and merry-go-rounds
cIeaked with even a sound of protest;
the little ones prattled while the older
children romped and tired mothers
rested.
REFRESHMENTS DISTRIBUTED.
Although every one had been ms
tructed to bring lunches. provision
had been made to furnish 1000 sand
wiches ana 200 quarts of sweet milk
free. According to previous arrange.
ment only half fare was charged those
who were sufficiently provided with
pocket money to venture a steamer
trip around the lake, and the same
rule applied TO heaping dishes of ice
cream. Still, no matter how impover-
ished the purse. If the owner desired
either boat ride or ice cream he or she
was gratified-and it makes no differ
ence from whence the collateral came.
So, after it was all over and the fa-
tigued COMMITTEES of men and women
returned with their charges, also ia.
tigued but filled with relapse into
happy contentment. the promoters of
this life dealing, and mayhap life-sav-
ing, project. might well heave sigh
Of satisfaction.

There are debts to the amount Of

which will be paid from 1900 yet dne
from the city; the Finch bill of $3.50
will be daid from the balance and IN
terest on the original cost or the work.
That is the conclusion Gs far as the
committee is concerned. but it is likely
that when the matter reaches the office
of the city controller it may be found
that portion of the claims of Mr..
Keller and Bittenbender 81 Co. is for
material not used in the construction
of sewers in the Thirteenth district,
against which the claims were issued.
In such an event Mr.. Shiffer will come
into possession of several hundred dol
lars above legal claims.

EASTERN LEAGUE TALK
The stockholders of the Scranton
club have not entirely given up hope
of going into the Eastern league.
Yesterday the determination of some
of them to 20 into that organization
was stronger than ever. aud A l..
Francois was dispatched to New York,
where he was to have had confer
ence last night with officials of the
Boston club, with a view to selling
Hodson.
President Powers, of the Eastern
league, was also to be present, and if
the sale of Hodson to Boston or some
other club was agreed upon, Hogan
was to be disposed of in some manner
or released il no other alternative
offered itself, and Mr. Francois was
then empowered to close arrangements
with Mr., Powers for Scranton's admis-
sion into the Eastern league.
The talk about blackliStng which
has been directed against Mr. Powers
has not frightened him in tho least
One OF the Scranton stockholders whom
asked yesterday how Scranton could go
into the Eastern league after losing
Hodson, said:
