PUTTING UP THE COLORS.
Decorators from This City Reinforced BY
Others from Abroad Find an
Abundance OF Work.

The work of decorating the city's
business structures in anticipation of
the cOnclave of the grand commandery
Knights Templar, here next Monday.
Tuesday and Wednesday, is being
pushed along rapidly. Local decora-
tors already have orders sufficient to
keep them busy almost up to the first
day of the conclave, and decorators
from other cities are here and have
found plenty to do.
At present not much Of the bunting
is being put in place but 1t is being
served and sorted and q great deal of
time Is being consumed In measuring
the buildings and in devising original
and unique designs From present in
dications there will be very few stores
and office buildings which will not dis
play q mass Of colors and probably not
, one will be devoid Of at least some sim
pie recognition of the Templar event
In many quarters 1t has been suggest
ed that the county and city officials ar
range to have the court house and city
hall decorated This is done. It is ar
gued, in other cities and 1t is believed
that Lackawanna county and Scran-
ton will not be behind In anything
which will show the thouands Of
strangers that welcome Is extended
them by the county and city.
For the Information of households 1t
II announced that a black and white
flag, the Templar colors, or the stars
and stripes, or both will be suitable
decoration. Temporary salesrooms
where flags and bunting may be OBJ
tained have been opened on Lackawan-
ma avenue, and nearly all the large re-
tail dry goods stores contain q special
assortment of decorative material

the way they came across Pratt's horse
and carriage which had been left in
front of Horns hotel by Ben Kohler and
John Hollingworth, who had hired 1t to
