Scranton After Dark.

The vicious assault committed upon
a young woman on Washington avenue
the other night as reported in the daily
papers, gives the slumbering public a
brief glimpse of the diversions of
Satans converts at nightfall. The fact
that the young woman who received
the cowardly blow that disfigures her
refuses to reveal the name of her as
sailant, or tell why he struck her is
not encouraging to the officers who
would be pleased to be instrumental in
having the fugitive punished if he can
he located. 1t serves to illustrate, how
ever the shocking spirit of recklessnees
that seems to prevail among girls Of
a certain age in this city, who if not
really bad seem to glory in the ap-
pearance of being SO. Few people who
retire in peace at a seasonable hour
have any idea of the deviltry that is
rife about the central portion of the city
as the clock hands are near the hour
Of midnight. The ladies entrances" Of
the drinking places are always open
and young girls there receive their first
Instructions in the life of gaiety from
unscrupulous companions who in many
instances prove to be even worse than
the one who fled from the police officers
on Lackawanna avenue the other night.
Many well-meaning persons have been
endeavoring to battle with the cheap
dance, cheap saloon and street promen-
ade evil but without much apparent
success, and it is a problem that will
no doubt for some time hence puzzle
those who are interested in the well
fare of the rising generation.

DISGUSTED.

In his letters from New Mexico to the
Chicago Record W. f. Curtis tells of a
disgusted prospector who left on his aban-
doned cabin placard bearing the follow
ing summary of his situation:
Forty miles from a railroad,
Thirty miles from a postoffice,
Nearest neighbor 2S miles,
Nearest wood % miles,
Nearest water four miles,
He'll one-half mile.
God bless our home!

Candidate for the Speakership Sher-
man says: II want to say with en-
phasis that the policy of the house
will be decided by the house and not by
the speaker" This is certainly a pol.

OF the 6,2O9 deaths in the military
service of the United States during the
period of the war with Spain up to the
ratifications 45 occurred at Honolulu,
2s7 in Porto Rico. COG in the Philippines,
1899 in Cuba and 1872 in the camps of
concentration in the United States.
These figures give force to the recent
suggestion of the army officer who held
it to be the chief lesson Of the war that
the government should establish, in an
ticipation of future emergencies, per-
manent sanitary camps, properly ~ew-
cred and watered and ready for use at
an instants notice.

If Secretary Alger intends to cam
paign for the Michigan senatorship his
duty to the administration is to get out
of the cabinet and make his fight on
his own merits. This is so obvious
that his early resignation may con-

in Cuba. We have the usual crowds OF
Impressionsts' doing tours of the
island in forty-eight hours for the
press. As a rule their publications dis
gust the Cubans and discourage Amcri-
cans who are deeply Interested in as
sisting these people and putting them
on the road to good government. / am
not writing an article on Cuba, but as
an official and a citizen OF our great
country it distresses me to find so
often our reputation for fairness, JUS
tice, and good judgment banded about
by people whom we expect to regard
us as models"
To this dignified and timely rebuke
the Post replies in effect that IL knows
its own business, which, II true, would
indicate that the Posts business in this
direction is an ill-judged one. But the
particular point of interest in Colonel
Pettit's letter is not any controversial
feature, but its frank corroboration of
the nearly uniform testimony of quail
fed witnesses on this subject that the
reports OF rows, brigandage and fire.
eating which come to the American
people from Cuba are grossly distorted
and utterly unrepresentative of the real
situation in that island. Generals
Wood, Wilson and Brooke, Senor AL
bertini, Gonzalo de Quesada, George
Kennan and the more trustworthy cor
respondents of the reputable American
press agree on the main point that out
side of limited circle of frothy poseurs
in and about the Havana cafes the
great body of the Cuban population,
insurgents as we'll as paciflcos. are
contentedI peaceful and hopeful and
are making upon the whole good prog
ress in the lessons of orderly industry
and honest and stable government
which the United States has under
taken to teach them. 1t is too bad
that any American should fall below
these unfortunate people in the char
acteristics of charity and patience.

What is TO come out of the revela-

revolution or n public nap? Says
Frank Moss: I'VE are not having the
STRINGS of hot indignation that we had
FIVE years ago as we heard the many
stories of the brutality and oppression
that then prevailed, but we are not fit
for popular government IL the deeper
revelations possible under our resolu-
tion do not produce even a larger re-
suit than did the Lexow investiga-

government? Is Scranton?

The school Of the Impressionsts is
represented by a capital Sisley en-
titled "Moret, View from the Fields"
1t was the first example of this paint
ers work that l had seen and 1t natur-
ally interested me. The first impress
sion was the one that was most pleas
ing and the one l endeavor to retain.
1t was as though looked upon a pic
ture painted with phosphorescent pig
ments. The atmosphere was fairly vi
brant with a peculiar green light
which threw it's tone upon all things
in the picture. Tall trees of narrowed
foliage. while they gave the scene
decorative value, accentuated the NOR
bidness of its treatment 1t waE Ibsen-
ism on canvas, degeneracy expressed
through paint. The school is, of
course, immensely in vogue just now
and this is enc of it's best represen-
tatives.
OF Alfred SisIey. George Moore, the
foremost of English art critics, says:
"Sisley Is less decorative, less on the
surface, and, though he follows Monet
in his pursuit of color, nature is, per-
haps on account of his English origin,
something more to him than a brill
liant appearance. 1t has of course
happened TO Monet to set his easel be-
fore the suburban aspect that Sisley
loves, but he has always treated 1t
rather in the decorative than the medi-
tative spirit. He has never been touched
by the humility Of a lanes end and the
humble life that collects there has
| never appeared on his canvas. Yet,
| SisleY, being more In sympathy with
such nature, has often been able TO
| produce a superior though much less
! pretentious picture than the ordinary
| stereotyped Monet" Moore then pro-
ceeds to devote a chapter in his book
Modern Painting" to Sisley and the
Impressionistic school.

"The Banks of the Disc" is quite the
most advanced in manner of this ar
lists painting. 1t was exhibited at
the last Salon and was hung on the
line. The broad and masterful grasp
of the subject shows the sure hand of
the thorough artist. 1t is full day
and the generous sunshine has thinned
the French mist to an atmospheric ef-
feet of luminous softness. 1t is the
very spirit of sumner set forth on can
vas. The Disc Is as regular in it's
outline as canal. Noble trees shade
its deep waters and the well kept
country road follows it in it's pict-
uresque wndings. The picture is
Peace, Content. the Summer Tide of
Life. The gentle breezes scarcely stir
the tall trees and even the shadows
that occasionally diversity the scene
are restful and refreshing. The pic
ture eXhales character no less than it
evidences skill, and for that reason it
is bound to wear we'll and to constantly
appreciate in value.

Here are also seen Raught's other
Salon picture, THE Highway" and
his celebrated canvas, THE Gorse Cut
ters,' which was exhibited at the
worlds fair at Chicago. There is a
gentle melancholy in both Of these
which makes them kindred. The pur-
pies predominate, but they are not the
blackish, pessimistic puppies of a
painter whose motif Is despair. The
melancholy is of that wholesome sort
that comes with the intl ospection and
the serious meditation of a sensitive
soul. / was about to say mind, but
soul is the word. The impressive fig
ure of the old peasant in the fore
ground Of The Gorse Cutters" does
not show the hopelessness of poverty
and the WEAKNESS of old age. 1t ex-
presses rather the noble peace that
springs from humble duties we'll per-
formed and from a long life in which
frugality and simplicity atone for
wealth and folly and indigestion.
1t is of The Highway that the de-
ceased critic Hamerton wrote one of the
most genuinely complimentary criti-
cisms that he ever vouchsafed to an
American artist. "A Promenade in the
Park" Breton Moor in Winter" STU
dio at Senlse," and salt Marshes at
Mamaroneck" are other fine Raughts in
this collection.

HAVANA. April 26.-General Gomez and
the committee of consulting Cuban gem

island asking the various subordinate
commanders TO make returns of the num-
