JONES' NARROW ESCAPE,
The City Assessor Came Very Near
Being Drowned in Lake Sheridan
on Sunday.

city Assessor Gwilym Jones had an
exceedingly narrow escape from drow n
ing at Lake Sheridan, Sunday after
noon, and had it not been for the heroic
efforts of his companions, John Scott
John Davis and City Assessor Philip
Rinsland, he might have sunk to rise
no more.
The party had been enjoying them
selves at the lake during the morning,
and decided to go out for a boat ride in
the afternoon. Davis, Scott and Rims
which runs out into deep water. Jones
stood on the edge Of the landing and
gave the boat shove.
It went out farther than he expected
in fact, so far that he was unable "a
step into IL. He accordingly took a
running start and made a jump for the
boat He landed near the stern, but
the impetus OF the spring was such as
to send him flying into the water on
the other side. AS he sank, he clutched
at the edge of the boat, and succeeded
in turning it over and dumping his
three companions, clothing and all, into
the water.
Jones cannot swim stroke, and his
companions, realizing this, swan &c
where his head had gone down twice
AS he came up for the third and last
time they grabbed him, and swan with

The whole party spent the rest o,
the afternoon in drying their clothes.

Saratoga Is making great prepare

occurs September 4, and 6, and no
expense is being spared TO make the
coming occasion excel all others, al
last year thought it almost impossible
to surpass il. King Rex, who was the
central figure in the New Orleans
Mardi GraS, is now at Saratoga SUPER
intending the preparations. On his trip
north he was attended by one hundred
courtiers and scores of pretty maids,
and he says that he proposes to dupli-
cate the New Orleans Mardi Gras fete
at Saratoga, and open the eyes OF the
north to the gorgeous and beautiful
way in which festivals are conducted
in sunny Louisiana. He has with him
all the knights and ladies who have
made the New Orleans Mardi Gras the
eighth wonder of the world, and who
now propose To make the Saratoga
floral fete the ninth. Two months ago
his resplendant floats and golden chari-
OTIS and bejeweled professional robes
were sent TO the New York watering
place, to be used in the coming fete,
and the people of this vicinity will have
an opportunity to witness a duplica =
tion OF Louisiana's marvellous exhibit

THEY MADE A MISTAKE.
Couple Thought an Application for q
Marriage License Was as Good
as a Certificate.

Bruno Paone, of Archibald, and Mrs.
Philomena Napoletain, of Olyphant, on
June I, 1900, went before Justice of the
Peace Cummings, of Olyphant, had the
proper papers applying for marriage
license made out and went off rejoic-
ing. They conceived that this applica :
tion was a license, wedding certificate
and everything else needful and they
at once went to housekeeping without
further formalities.
Recently Mrs. Paone's relatives got
an inkling that there was something
irregular about the marriage and be-
gan an investigation, which showed
that the marriage was unsanctioned
by church or state Yesterday a mar
riage license was formally issued tc
the couple and last night they were
married at their home in Peckville.
Paone is a dashing young gallant OF
AZ and his bride admitted that she is

DUFFY and STAMPEDE.
Newsboys' President Says That
Strike Against New York Sun
day Papers IL Still on.

While the Newsboys' union met with
what was considerably in the nature of
a rebuff Sunday when the boys flocked
into the Lackawanna News Agency's
establishment and purchased the New
York papers at the regulation price,
nevertheless the conflict with the met
ropolitan journals is far from being at
an end
President James Duffy. who was
about the only boy 10 hold out against
the universal stampede and refuse to
sell the papers, yesterday was very
Crestfallen youth, but when Tribune
man met him, hailed joyously the OPP
portunity of letting the public know
that the strike is not yet over.
You can say" he remarked dog
gedly," dat dis strike amt over jist
yet. It's only begun"
"How's that?" nippantly asked the
reporter, didn't this about smash up

'Hully Gee. no." exclaimed Presi-

know nothin' about any strike bein' on.
He wasn't At de meeting, and he just
got his papers, same as any Sunday.
When he got his papes, de others fell
lcrs just fell in and got theirs too. Well

And with an ominous shake of his
head, the youthful leader of the ven
ders of news and sinners of shoes
proudly walked from the spot in an
l.,
nearby, who wanted an afternoon
paper.
Sam Schloss, aged Il years a news
boy and bottblack, yesterday caused

SUMNER HOME ATCRESCO
Special Appeal for Remainder of
Funds Necessary to Have It Do
It's Work of Mercy Until
Seasons Close.

The summer home at Cresco has
through the treasurer of the Mems
Guild, had weekly grateful acknow-
Judgments made for it of donations
given to enable it to carry on its mis-
sion of mercy. Yet there is need of
much more. Economically as it's funds
are administered, experience has
proved that about $1,000 in money is
needed each year to enable it to give
all the poor, tired out women and lit
tie children who most thoroughly are
in need of its benefits their turn.
From June II to July Is the gifts
sent in were generous. bringing the
summer fund up to Si9l--a little less
than half the sum needed. But since
July l3 the contributions have fallen
Off being altogether considerably less
than 800 additional to that received
before; and of this over s36 came from
Stroudsburg.
There is, therefore, need of over S400
more, and the failure to have 1t given
will mean that a good many, to whom
their turn at the summer home would
mean life and renewed strength for
hard daily toll through the coming
year would have to do without it.
Therefore those in charge of it make
this added appeal. They give twice
who give quickly" If the COMMITTEES
can have all the needful money given
in August their hearts and minds will
be relieved by the certainty of ability
to keep the home open the full time
It should be so. The treasurer of the
Mems Guild Is Samuel Hines, his office
at 1856 Wyoming avenue.
