MONTROSE.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.

Montrose, June 3.-Montrose Is daily
becoming more glorious In appearance
and will soon be at it's zenith. The
people from the cities who come here
for rest and recreation during the heat
ed term have commenced to arrive and
before the end of this month the town
will be filled with visitors and there
would be hundreds more this year did
the town but possess well-appointed
summer hotel, for 1T Is only the lack OF
proper accommodations that Is keeping
away many who would otherwise come
here to spend the summer months. That
such situation exists is indeed pity
and many of our people earnestly pray
that some shrewd capitalists Will see
what an advantageous opportunity Is
here presented for the profitable invest
nent of capital. Whoever is first in
the field with an up-to-date and COM
1nodious hotel for the entertainment OF
summer guests will reap a rich har-
vest

Saturday evening were Mrs. Sampson
widow of the late Admiral Sampson,
her daughter and son and three SER
wants, two negresses and one whlte
woman. The Simpsons went directly
to the Post house on High street, when
they have leased for four months.
These distinguished guests VIII De
warmly welcomed to Montrose society
and our people will conspire to make
their first visit to Montrose memor-
able and pleasant one.
