SCHOOL OF FINE ARTS.
There Is q Movement on Foot TO Estab.
lish Such an Institution in
This City.

The Positive Facts About Scran-
ton" department of The Tribune may,
before many days, include among it's
announcements a line reading "Schoo!
of Fine Arts"
a movement is afOot to establish
such an institution here and If it re-
ceives the due encouragement it de-
serves, the school will be a reality be-
fore the year is out.
Frank Carlucci, the well-known con-
tractor, is father of the project, and
stands ready to do as much as the next
man,as he put ittoward carrying it out
The movements a philanthropic,r rather
than commercial, one. Mr.. Carlucci,
who is an artist in sculpturing, a con-
noisseur in painting and an enthusiast
in every way in these two leading
branches of finer art, conceived the
idea of establishing the school and i'm
parted it to several of his fellow pro-
motors and lovers of art.
They applauded the idea and assured
him of their heartiest cooperation if
he would take the matter in hand. He
hesitated to do this on account Of
his time being so entirely taken up
with his extensive business interests
and here the matter rests for the pres
ent.
One of the parties to whom Mr.. Car
lucci first broached the subject said
to Tribune reporter that he will per-
sonally see that the project shall not
be allowed to have any considerable
rest. 1T is too grand and beneficent
a scheme to jeopardize by letting it rest
for a moment. Now, while the promo
bon A,,+h h1t- te In, TO-,
the time for action and l trust that |
will be able to set the project in mo-
tion again at once. The op-
portunity, the men and the means
are at hand and all that is ne
cessary is TO find some one to take ac-
tive charge of II. This will not be such
a difficult task / verify believe and to
my mind the school is an assured fact"
Some Of the details have already been
discussed and a sort OF policy agreed
upon. First of all it is proposed to
make the school exclusive. Only those
who show aptitude for one or the other
of the arts will be received. Then after
a trial it they demonstrate that they
possess the genius, without which the
true artist cannot be, they will be
made proteEe of the school and will
receive Sucn patronage as the manage
ment may deem is meet for their tai
ents.
The idea of the promoters as may
be readily judged from the above is to
discover and develop genius and to do
1t all for the pure love of art. AS Mr..
Carlucci himself says, there is no
doubt many a boy and girl in this
city and vicinity who. with proper op-
portunities, would make his or her
mark in the field of art, and it would be
not only a matter to deplore but a
crime to neglect these gems" that
dark unfathomed caves Of ocean
bear"
The movement will, without doubt,
receive the moral support of all the
substantial support of those whose
means will admit and tastes prompt
to encourage such a worthy object

Camilla: Far from being young, but
she was old as a poem or an angel
might be, with the lovely meaning of
her still uppermost and most evident,
Camilla, in her youth, had been of a
rare and delicate beauty, which had
given her fame throughout the country
side, and she held the best of it still,
as one holds Jewels in an old casket,
and as a poem written in obsolete lam
guage contains still its first grace of
thought. Her body and her soul had
been amenable to all discipline. She had
leaned sweetly against her crosses, in
stead of straining away from them with
fierce cramps and agunies of resist
ance. Camilla's graduated fiounces Of

it a little spraying mist of gray trim

with little clasp set with amethysts.
A great amethyst breach pinned the
lace at her throat. She wore a lace
cap, and over that, flung loosely, drap-
ing her shoulders and shading her face
with its soft mesh, a great shawl or
veil of fine white lace wrought with
sprigs. Her blonde hair, which,
in turning gray. had got a creamy in
stead of n silvery lustre, like her old
lace, was looped softly and disposed in
half curls over her ears"
The pen picture of Miss Camilla with
little Lucina in the arbor and the four
great yellow cats, lying asleep in the
sun, is one to which the reader turns
again and again.
Among the generous gifts received
for the new Home for the F'riendless
none is more thoroughly appreciated
than the handsome contribution of

ware supplies for the building. The
value of this portion of the furnishings
is about $500.

 It is said that in 1454 the moon was eclipsed by comet. The body must, therefore, have been within less than 240,- 900 miles of the earth, but it affected neither planet.
 THIS OPPORTUNITY SHOULD Nor BE LosT.-The world is filled with suffering people who can't seem to get we'll or find out what their trouble is. Such people oftentimes cannot afford the time or ex- pense of a trip to the city, or the large fees charged by the best physicians.

Warlike Preparations.

Athens, March 5.-Advices received
here this afternoon show that the force
of Christians who are investing Herak-
lion number 1900 men. The insurgents
have stopped all communication with
the town by land, and it is certain
that unless the foreign warships ac-
lively intervene in behalf of the Mos
lens the town viii shortly be COM
PEELED to surrender
The small detachment of sailors and
marines landed from the various war
ships still occupy the town, but without
the aid of the fleets they could make
but feeble defense against the over
whelming numbers of the insurgents
The greatest activity is being displayed
in Athens in mkaing preparations to
give battle to the Turks should they
cross the Greek frontier. The ministry
of war presents a most animated
scene. The most energetic measures
are being taken for the mobilization
OF the forces.
There is a similar scene of activity
in the ministry of marine, where every
thing possible is being done to place
the fleet in readiness for any contin-
gency.
There is no sign anywhere of the
king or government receding from the
position they have taken. and it is
ominous that in the face of the threat of
combined Europe the warlike prepara-
tions are being carried on with fever
ish activity. The most intense enthu-
siasm is everywhere displayed and the
people evince no fear of the result of
AL appeal to arms.

A Russian View.

ST. Petersburg. March 5.-The Jour
nal (semi-officiaD makes a statement
in effect that the Russian imperial
cabinet is animated by an ardent de-
sire TO further the work of pacification
and in that spirit took the initiative
in proposing the plan formulated in
the Identical notes of the powers TO
Turkey and Greece. The paper, in
conclusion, says: There is reason TO
hope that further difficulties will not
arise and that Greece will prove her
wisdom by bending TO the mighty will
of united Europe. In the common in
terests of peace and legality, Greece
cannot desire to endanger her future
by acts of folly and the Greeks may
be happy in the knowledge that their
lkinsmeu in Crete will in future enjoy
local autonomy. Russia, which has
ever had the interests of the Christian
peoples of the east at heart, viii re-
gard the suggested solution with sat
isfaction, all the greater seeing that
it is in harmony for the desire for uni
versal peace and in the spirit of the
equity by the Russian government is
constantly inspired
