the Hotel Jermyn parlors will probably
be more formal than that of the Scran
ton Communicates and it will probably
bc attended by all the Sir Knights
then in the city. certainly by all the

wanna avenue, to Penn avenue, to
Spruce street, and dismiss.
Nearly every one of the thirty-seven
| communicates in line will have its own
band. The music. in addition to the
Splendor of the parade itself, will help
make this the most appreciated feature
of the conclave as far as the general
public is concerned.
In connection with the parade, the
quick paving of Spruce street and the
clearing up of work on other streets
shows the general spirit to leave moth
ing undOne toward making everything
connected with the conclaye success.

on 1t included the uneven and practical
ly unpaved portion Of Spruce street be-
tween Wyoming and Franklin avenues.
