THF NEW BOULEVARD.

During the present period of good
sleighing the fact has again been em-
phasi2sd that Scrantonians need II
wider, longer and better driveway
than any now accessible. The spirited
equippages that have this winter con
tributed gayety and animation to the
scene at North Park have been per-
ceptiblY and almost dangerously ham
pered by the lack OF room for racing
and speeding exercise. Only the su
perior generalship of the ingenious
drivers in the friendly speed competi.

Mr. Smith followed with a polite ex-

cession of cheers and hand clappings
that must have made the gentlem an

MEMORIES OF THEE.

Deep down in the D drest alcove of the heart There fingers a tender, loving thought. Away where the eyes of the world never see Sacredly finger sweet memories to me- Sweet memories of thee,
 Sweet memories to me, Sacredly finger sweet memories of thee. The days may be dark and the demon, fate, May plan me path that is lonely; But life Is worth living with single thought, And death will be brighter with this thought Sweet memories of thee,
 Sweet memories to me, Death will be brighter with sweet memories of
 thee. The bangs of all pride that I've borne in my
 breast Have come to my life thro' the years that have
 passed; But down where the sins of the world never
 creep swass Sacredly finger sweet memories asleep Sweet memories of thee,
 sweet memories to me, Sacredly finger sweet memories of thee. Though flowers of memory shall sicken and
 die When the wind of life's winter tide blows, There. treasured and sheltered by memory's
 sky.
 Through darkest of seasons shall flourish Sweet memories of thee,
 Sweet memories to me, The rose that shall hourish-sweet memories

A SERIOUS AFFAIR,

CHICAGO, June SO.-Tne general man. agers of the roads centering in the city met in executive session at 1920 o'clock, with the prospect of prolonged meeting. Half an hour later an official statement was is- sued, in which the managers say it is use- less to deny that the strike is widespread and serious, and that it has embar- rassed the freight traffic of the west 10 the most serious extent of any strike since the eastern labor troubles of the seventies. At the same time the roads have no intention of entering into com- promise with the strikers on any basis whatever, and they regard the men on strike as ex-employes who have resigned their positions and who are not anxious for work. The companies fail to see the jus. tlce of the position taken by the American Railway union of fighting Pullman over the heads of railroads that have no control over his movements or his man ufacturing business.
 A later and supplementary statement says men are being hired in the east and will be brought to Chicago at once to take strikers pieces and guarantees to all unemployed permanent positions and the protection of .he company, police, sheriff and state au- thorities.

THE PLOT DISCLOSED.

PARIS, June SOFA dispatch from Mar seilles this morning announces that sol dier, detained in the military prison at that place, upon hearing of the assassina- tion of the president gave the authorities matched at Cette, and also furnished the names of seven anarchists, who, after the executions of Valiant and Henri, drew lots in order to decide which of them was to kill Carnot. The lot fell to Santo Csas. ero, which now seems to be the real name of the assassin, the mistake in the inver- sion of his name having resulted from the Italian custom of writing the family name first. CeaserO is described as having been ''wild with joy" when he found that he had been selected to commit the murder.
