night In the armory on Adams avenue
and will be continued each day from
until 10 o'clock for the next two
weeks. An admission of 25 cents Is
charged. The exposition is given un-
der the auspices of the Scranton Press
club, and, If the first night Is any cri-
terion, that organization Is destined to
be greatly benefited financially.
Nearly 80 booths are arranged along
the sides and in the center of the large
drill hall, and each booth in its general
picture of design and color reflects a
great deal of credit upon the firms or
individuals who designed and arranged
them. Not the least attractive feature
of the display is the practice of giving
away for the purpose of advertisement
a varied and numerous assortment of
useful articles.
At $50 o'clock last night T. V. Pow
derby formally opened the exhibit in
behalf of the Press club and welcomed
the foreign exhibitors and the public.
In his happy and interesting way he
alluded to the benefits of pure food and
drew attention to the fact that in each
of the booths the methods of manufac-
turing its particular articles were
demonstrated rather than concealed.
Exhibits of Cookery.
What will probably interest the
housewife most are the several exhibits
of cookery articles and demonstrations
by especially selected women upon sew
eral branches of the art. Last night
this feature had to be postponed in
several instances owing to incomplete
facilities, but beginning this afternoon
the cooking lectures will begin and be
continued each day until the close Of
the exhibit. Course tickets for the en-
tire series to be given by Miss Cross
can be had at the ticket Office for 81.
They will be good for use in the even
ings If the holder SO desires. This af-
ternoons lecture will be devoted to
oyster cooking.
A number of kinetoscopes, Edison s
latest and most famous wonders, are
being exhibited and last night attract
ed a large number of astounded spec
| tators.
To make detailed mention of each
booth would be impossible in limited
! space. The whole Is an assortment of
!
given away comprise drinks, dainties,
candy, necessities and kitchen and
cooking articles representing nearly
every corner of the home table. That
| the spectators We're interested and that
the exhibitors are generous was attest
ed by the bundle-laden men and women
who left the armory last night.
