Foreign Freight Agent.

With the appointment of c. c. Jew
EFT as foreign freight agent, the Lack
awanna railroad has begun an active
campaign to increase its foreign freight
business, for which It's facilities are
particularly adapted, it having very
extensive terminals in Hoboken, New
York city and Brooklyn.
Mr.. Jewett'S career has made him
eminently fitted for this position. He
Is a son of Professor c, c. Jewett, who
for years was superintendent of the
Smithsonian institute and afterwards
superintendent of the great Boston
library.
After completing his education. Mr.
Jewett started on a seafaring career,
making his first voyage from Boston
10 Calcutta. in 1869. After making
many trips between this country and
the Orient, he located in India, where
he obtained a certificate as captain in
the English merchant service. taking
charge Of a steamship trading from In
dia to China, the Philippines and other
East India ports.
After a varied experience, during
which he visited South Africa, Mauri-
titus and Australia, he finally settled
in sydney, New South Wales, as trat-
fic manager oc the French Mail Steam =.
ship company This position he held
for fourteen years, during which time
he became thoroughly familiar with
the adjacent colonies, New Caledonia,
the New Hebrides and other islands.
In 1895 he returned to this country
and became contracting agent for a
large ship owning concern, of Boston
and London. Two years later he es-
tahlished himself as q steamship brok
er and agent. This latter position he
leaves to accept service with the Lack
awanna railroad.

Superintendent Loomis yesterday is
sued orders that all of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western collieries
as far as possible be shut down today
out of respect for the late Benjamin
Hughes, who was general superintend-
ent for thirty-five years. Where it is
absolutely necessary half day will
be worked.
Mr. Hughes was always held in high
esteem by the employees of the COM
pany. and, as many are desirous of at
tending the funeral services this after
noon, they can do so without any in
convenience. The services will be held
at 2.3O o'clock at the First Welsh Bap-
tst church, South Nam avenue.
The body will lie in state at the
church from IL a. m. to p. m, and all
who desire can view the remains a!
that time.

Will Not Spend a Million,

The statement published in a morn
ing contemporary to the effect that the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company propose to spend a million
uollars in local improvements within
the present year is looked upon as
pipe dream" by all who are in a posi-
tion to know about such things.
While 1t Is true that many improve
ments are contemplated and several
new stations will be built at different
points along the line, a new passenger
station and freight depot for this city
is hardly probable this year. as the
minor improvements already made at
the Lackawanna avenue station indi-
cate that the old building will serve
the purpose for severa. years to come.
A news bureau, telegraph station,
parcel room and better ventilation are
: needed in the mems room. and, in all
probability, the necessary changes will
soon be made to conform with these
requirements.
Engineer Warner stated to a Tribune
man yesterday that no plans for a
new station have been made in his
department, neither does he know that
such are in existence. He does not
know anything about the proposed ex-
tension of the machine shops, the new
round house or any other contemplated
changes.
That there is need of more enclosures
to house the many new engines re-
Gently ordered by the company no one
questions, but when one stops to con-
slider that the thirty new locomotives
that have been received have replaced
a large number Of old engines that will
soon go 10 the scrap heap, the need is
not,so pressing as at first glance would
appear.
There is at present large number
of old engines stalled near the machine
shops which have been ordered out OF
service.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Although a very interesting programme
of contests was prepared for the outing at
Scranton Lake Saturday, nevertheless
only small number of students were
present to see them. If the crowd was
rather small and the weather rather
blustery, those who had interest
enough In the doings of the Pedestrian
club. to show themselves, were fully re-
warded for their trouble in reaching the
lake. The go-as-you-please race around
the lake was a complete success, as were
the running contest and other features.
AS the boys have arranged to have an
other day at the lake on the coming sat
urday and as a race of no little import
ancc is TO take place, II Is hoped that the
boys Will receive better encouragement
on this day than last Saturday. The race
will be between Eugene Tropp. the cham
pion of the Scranton High School, and
Robert Gardener, who has recently won
several important running matches at
Exeter Besides this race there Will be
hammer-throwing and shot -putting also
some foot-races of secondary charac-
ter.
The report cards which are given out
monthly and contain the standing of the
various studies were distributed 20 the
students Monday, and on Tuesday morn
Ing Professor Grant read the names OF
the scholars who had reached an aver
ege of ninety per cent. The number OF
names read this month was much larger
than has been previously announced.
This shows that the fact Of having their
names read, as one who has reached this
rather high mark, has served as an In
ccntivc to the majority of the students.
But those who did their utmost to reach
90 per cent and have failed should not
become discouraged, but work all the
harder the coming month.
AS the comparatively fine weather
which we are having WILL In a short
time. dry up the mud at Athletic Park
which has hitherto been in an unfit con-
dition for practice, those who intend to
try for positions on the base ball team
this year will no doubt be called out by
Manager Ksnn In a week or two. The
manager this year Is determined to put
| a flrst-class team into the field.
The senior class meeting was held yes
| terday at the close of school. The busi-
ness transacted related chiefly to the
| commencement exercises.

a note which is vivid and powerful but not too

ROBERT REID.

Every one interested in matters of art-and
a great many who do not pretend to any special
concern with them-win remember how the
creation of the White City at Chicago for the
Worlds Fair of 1893, brought the significance
of mural painting home TO the public it had
never been brought before. Prior to that time
little had been done in this field. The work of
the late William Hunt at Albany, and MI La
Farge's decorations in Boston and New-YOrk
had been appreciated hut had started no school
The decorations painted for the Chicago Fair
gave the needed impetus. So many artists par
ticpated in the work, and their paintings We're
seen by SO many people from all parts of the
country, that presently the idea Of mural deco
ration in the air About this time MI.
Sargent and Mr.. Abbey plunged into their i'm
portant work for the Boston Public Library.
Later impressive corps Of painters took the
decoration of the Congressional Library at
Washington in charge, and to-day the school"
is rapidly growing. Public and private buildings
all over the country employ the services of its
members. The recently completed Appellate
Court building in this city is of the latest
and most important testimonies its activity
