j. Casey Will Own the Lyceum
and Academy of Music.

Title in the Lyceum theatre and
Academy of Music properties will this
week pass to A. j. and p. j. Casey,
brewers and wholesale liquor dealers.
The Lyceum property is owned by c.
H. Welles, L. B. Sturges, Alex. f.
Hunt and James Archibald. The Blair
estate owns the Academy of Music.
The price for the former is said TO be
$S5,000, and the latter $50,000.
The lots on Penn avenue, fronting
the Lyceum, are included in the deal,
and will be improved at an early date.
The character of the building has not
yet been decided upon, but it can be
taken for granted that it will be sub
stantial and ornate addition to the
city's architecture.
For several years the Lyceum prop
erty has been on the market, and the
Blair estate, it is understood, has been
willing all along to dispose of the
Academy at a reasonable figure.
Litigation is still pending over the
Lyceum. but it is said that the pro-
posed purchasers are to be indemnifled
against any possible loss The present
owners practically had the property
forced upon them. While it was in the
possession of Arthur rockingham, it
was sold at sheriff's sale, and they
bought 1t in to protect large claims
they held against it.

pires one year from next August, and

THE NEW HOTEL CLIFTON.
Was Formally Opened at Lake
Winola, Saturday.

At Lake Winola, Saturday, the new
Hotel Clifton was thrown open to the
public. 1t is one of the finest summer
resort hotels in Northeastern Pennsyl-
vania; Is situated on the north side OF
the lake, and has n full view of that
beautiful body of water and the sur
rounding mountains. The building Is
located 100 feet above the lake at an
altitude of LOO feet above the level of
the sea.
Pleasant porches, twelve feet wide,
surround the building on the first and
second floors. 1t is a four-story struc-
ture, with an attic, and contains on
the first floor a ball room 45x35 feet,
with orchestra stage. The hall is well
ventilated and lighted by gas. On this
floor are the barroom, barber shop,
gentlemen's reading room, cloak and
toilet rooms and ladies' reception room.
On the second floor is the office, dining
room, parlor, kitchen and private fam
lily apartments. The dining room will
accommodate 125 persons at one sit
ting.
The third and fourth floors are occu-
pied by sleeping apartments, capable
of accommodating 200 guests. Hot and
cold water bath and toilet appliances
are convenient for the accommodation
of the guests.
There are many beautiful drives
about the Clifton, and a large number
of boats are kept on the beach in front
of the hotel for the accommodation of
guests.
The hotel is owned and conducted by
James w. Moore, formerly in the hotel
business in this city. He is assisted in
the management by II. e. Woodward,
foremrly of the Lackawanna dining
car service, and Edward Vanston, of
this city.
The lake is reached from the east,
south or west by the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western railroad from Fac
toryville, and an hours drive through
woodland on Gardner's bus line, which
meets all trains. From Pittston the
Lehigh Valley road runs to LAGRANGE,
which is but half an hours drive from
Hotel Clifton.
On Saturday evening over three hun
dred persons participated in the hotel
opening, and many of the residents
from the adjoining towns drove in to
enjoy the dance and concert music fur
nished by Bauer's orchestra. Miss Mar
garet Sullivan, of this city, has been
engaged as pianist for the season, and
arrangements have been made with
Bauer's men to play at the Saturday
evening dances. A sacred concert was

THE VERTICAL SYSTEM.
1t Has Been Abandoned in the New
York Schools.

The board of superintendents OF
schools of Manhattan and the Bronx
have decided that the vertical system
of penmanship which has been in
vogue recently must be abandoned.
After a trial of several years It has
been found impracticable, they say, to
retain the method because of its made
quacy for commercial purposes by stu
dents who seek business positions, on
account of the lack of speed. A per-
son who learns the vertical hand must
necessarily write slowly, 1t is claimed,
since to have the print-like effect 1t
must be done very neatly.
Vertical writing is admitted to be of
great advantage because of it's legi-
bility, but the students who apply for
clerkships find themselves handicapped
by their inability to do rapid work.
The vertical system has been in use
in Scranton for some time. Superin-
tendent Howell who interviewed yes
terday regarding the action taken in
New York expressed great surprise. as
he said the verticaEsystem has been
found to be admirable and is almost
universally in use. He believes the de-
cision in this case to be largely the
result of political and personal preju-
dice.
Superintendent Howell says that
while the system as applied in Scran-
ton has never claimed precedence as
to speed, an actual investigation Of the
matter shows that 9S per cent. of tele-
graphers use the vertical hand and
they are considered the most rapid
writers on record. The method is given
unanimous endorsement by the great
educators and educational journals of
the country and Superintendent Howell
was emphatic in his declaration that
the slanting hand will not be substl-
tuted in the Scranton public schools.
