Lakewood in the New Jersey pines,
fifty-two miles from New York, COM
mands the attention of many Scranton
ianS seeking a winter place of So
journ as the most popular, healthful
winter resort in the North. The eli
mate of Lakewood seldom varies, and
the bracing, pine-laden air is so dry
that cold is scarcely noticed. In fact
Lakewood is a combined winter re-
sort for fashion and outdoor sports,
and for persons affected with lung and
throat troubles. The village has the
finest appointed and largest hotels eX-
listing and innumerable high-cass
boarding houses. Winter at Lakewood
is like summer at Saratoga. The fin
est kind of roads and most romantic
drives are here, and beautiful lake
skirts the village where skating and
ice boating form inviting features.
h., Lakewood is reached only by the Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey, whose
district passenger agent in Scranton is
j. s. Swisher.

port of the Indianapolis Monetary Com
mission" The reading of each paper
will be followed by a brief discussion
in which you are invited to participate.

young gentleman was asked to assist
in removing the most valuable articles
from one of the buildings that were
threatened with destruction by the
fire fiend. The young man responded
readily and started for the building
with the alacrity of a professional life
saver. The hoarse cries of the flremen
were mingled with the roar of the puff
ting steamers and wild-eyed men and
women gazed in awe upon the fearful
scene as the cracking, blazing timbers
and crumbling walls fell with q fright
full crash, sending thousands of bril-
liant sparks OF fire shooting heaven
ward like tiny meteors. The sable
skies of night We're made lurid by the
awful glare and the scene was suf-
ficient to make the stoutest heart quail.
But the rescuer hesitated not. With
set features and firm bearing he rush
ed into the threatened building while
the crowd watched anXiopsly without.
In a few moments the rescuer return
ed. A smile of triumph was on his
face and in his arms was a dress suit
case filled with bottled beer!

THE peace commission has sailed for
France, where the sessions are to be
held, and the work will soon be begun.
If the Spanish end of the commission
is permitted to have its way it will
begin by. fighting over technicalities
and playing for all sorts of delay, in
the hopesthat something will turn up
before the conclusion of the treaty
which it can take advantage of to de-
clare the negotiations off and begin all
over again. All Europe is in a tur-
MOL just now, and Spain hopes that
two or three of the powers will get
into a mix-up that will give herr a
chance to get into the controversy and
divert interest from her complications
on this side. Clearly the thing for the
American commission to do is to push
the negotiations to the earliest posi-
Bile conclusion and get a treaty signed
as soon as possible or force the Span
iards to show their hand. # we are to
have any more fighting with Spain let
us have it while we are ready, and not
take any chances on another ssperiodsot
.orga nization IN the drmy and navy.
We have had enough Of that sort d
thing, and all the country will stand
for in its present temper.

The Democrats profess to be very
much elated over the Republican
losses in Maine and Vermont. AS a
matter of fact these losses are no
greater that the party always suffers
in these States in ''off'' years. They
are strong Republican States, and Re-
publican managers are so sure of sue
cess that they take no particular pains
to get out the vote in elections where
only State or local questions are in
volved. There was not a circular or
pamphlet sent out by the Maine Re
publicans, though the Democrats made
the usual effort to rally their full
strength. Whenever1he Republicans
want to carry Maine they just. go out
and carry it, and if they want a big
majority they get it. ~ -

said, had made an enviable record in

the place this year, would generously
fill the breach. At the conclusion Of
