CHAIRMAN CARAVANS VIEWS,
Opposed TO Consolidation with ProhIbitionists

In an interview at Wilkes Barre in
regard to the strength of the Demo-
cratic party in the State, Chairman
Garman said:
sour State organization is rapidly
becoming more efficient, and as a
party we are IN condition to reach
all the people than we have been for
number of years. The large vote
for the Democratic candidates at tie
late State election was one of the in
dications of dissatisfaction with Re-
publican administration, and the Dem
ocratic party hopes to profit by this
discomfort in the coming campaign.
"A Swallow Democratic combina-
ton would be distasteful to a majority
of the Democrats of the State. If by
some chance we should form such
combination and dissatisfied people
should elect it, the Swallow people
would be very ready to claim all the
credit for the defeat of the Republican
party. 1t would have been the same
had Swallow been indorsed at the last
Democratic convention, and been
elected. No, the Democrats of Penn
sylvania will have a Gubernatorial
candidate of their own"

Washington, Dec. 6.-Iniough Vice
President Hobart the President has
offered the position of Attorney-Ge len
eraI to Gov. John w. Griggs, OF New
Jersey, and the offer has been ac-
cepted.
The sudden departure OF the Prosi-
dent for Canton on Friday evening
prevented his meeting with Gov
Griggs on that occasion and making
the offer of the place personally.
There is no doubt that II this inter-
ruption had not taken place the an
nouncement would have been made or

The Presidents return has furnished
an opportunity of completing the Sc
lection which was in his mind as the
result OF the Vice-President's recon-

at the White House to-day.

from any reports upon the trade either for
eign or domestic.

BEANS The movement in marrow beans
is rather light. The scarcity of red kidney on
the spot makes fairly Arm market for such.
Butter Notwithstanding the slightly In
creased receipts reported the market devel-

Imitation creamery In demand and firm, and
the market is a little stronger for nearly all
grades of fresh factory.
EGGS-Receipts are moderate and the sup.

APPLES-Receipts are quite liberal and

Tested a Preachers Charity.

In his sermon at the First Baptist
church, of Pittston, on Sunday the
pastor, Rev. Claud G. Longford,
preached on charity. He said if a
man was possessed of two overcoats
and his neighbor had no overcoat it
was his duty to share with him.
"Those are my sentiments" SAID a
well,dressed stranger to the pastor
after the services were ended. The
stranger said he had done missionary
work for the Baptist Church in the
West and always believed in preach
ing strongly on charity. Rev. Mr..
Longford invited the man to his home,
and during the clergymans temporary
absence he stole watch, chain, over
coat and shoes.

THAT OLD TYPO AGAIN.

That old typo who is travelling
around the country setting his thou
sand ems for the benefit of the Greeley
monument, dropped in to see us
Yesterday. He says he is the Oldest
printer in America, which may be
true. And as far as our observation
extends he is the drtiest, too. He
asked to be shown the composing
room, but before we could point him
the stars he espied the elevator rope,
and SEEING hold of that, he went up
hand over hand, with all the agility
and ease OF sixteen year-od ster.
Being supplied with a stick he rolled
a five ounce quid of tobacco from the
southeast quarter of his cheek to the
larboard side, and splitting on his
hands, he went to work, and in the
remarkably short space of one hour
and forty-two minutes, achieved the
following, which we have not had
time to correct

IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
Pointers Given to Persons Who Contem.
Plate Going to klondike.

Sometime ago Chief Burgess
Moore, OF Sunbury, wrote to the
Bureau of Information. Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, State of
Washington, asking for a statement
"showing the distance, dangers and
probable expense of an Alaskan pros
pecting journey" He has just recelv-
ed reply, winch contained signed
statement from the Secretary of State
Will ID. Jenkins, and the burgess is
requested to make it public. The
statement will be found valuable to
those who contemplate starting for
Klondike from this vicinity next
spring. 1t reads as follows
"There are two established routes
to the Klondlke country from Puget
Sound. One is via the ocean to St.
Mlchaels, thence via river steamer up
the Yukon. This journey is made in
the summer months only. The other
is also by steamer to Dyea, Skaguay
or Pyramid Harbor and thence over
the Chllcoot, White Pass and the
Daulton Trail respectively to the head
waters of the Yukon and then down
by boat. The distance over the vari-
GUS trails to boat navigation on lakes
Lindeman and Bennett and the Pelly
river is as follows
"Dyea to Lake Lndeman, 80 miles;
Skaguay to Lake Bennett, Al miles;
from Pyramid Harbor to Pelly river
over the Daulton Trail, AIS miles.
Each of these trails has been success
fully used by parties going into the
Yukon, the first two being most gen
orally used. Distance from Seattle to
Dyea or Skaguay, $50 miles to
Pyramid Harbor, SOS miles Seattle
to mouth of Yukon river, $500 miles;
from mouth of Yukon to Dawson
City I,725 miles. Dyea or Skaguay
to Dawson City, 45o miles. The
time of travel from Seattle by either
way is about the same, thirty or forty
days.
"No person should start Tor the
gold fields with less than $500, ex-
Guiding his transportation to Puget
Sound. This sum will be barely
sufficient for one man for one year
with the scant necessities of life and
travelling under the most favorable
circumstances.
"Persons inexperienced in noun
tain travel are cautioned that utmost
care should be taken to preserve
secure footing in climbing steep as
cents and in fording streams. No
one should attempt to shoot rapids
unless thoroughly conversant with tie
method. Of the many thousands who
have gone in this year not more than
half dozen have lost their lives, and
these have been from carelessness
in fording.
"The summers on the Yukon are
short, the winters are long, and the
weather is severe. Extreme heat and
cold exists, making the climate diff
cult to endure. On account of the
isolation of the mining regions all
persons are cautioned to take ample
supplies of provisions and of warm
clothing.
