besides that, when they wish to employ

FIRST APPEARANCE IN HAzRLTON WITH MUCH
SUCCESS.

Plain Speaker, oct. 9, Hazelton.l
Harrgan's Hibernian Company of Irish
and American Tourists exhibited for the
first time in this borough last evening in
the Casino Rink Theatre, to large aud
fence, who were kept in continuous roars OF
laughter from the time the curtain rang up
until the termination of the show. The en-
tertainment was an excellent one from be-
ginning to end. The company is a large
one, and each member of the organization
recommends himself or herself to the aud
ience by good theatrical talent and accom-.
plishments. The Illuminated scenes of
Ireland representing the various towns,
villages and cities with their ancient tow
ers, were magnficently portrayed upon
the canvass. The singing of songs was
good and the dancing of the comedians
was SO much appreciated that vigorous en-
cores called them out repeatedly. The act
ing of Tim and Jerry Cohan as guides,
created endless enthusiasm. They were
ably assisted by Nellie Cohan and Patti
Bishop. The entire company is deserving
of special praise as being one of the best of
its kind that ever exhibited in this borough.
The management of the Casino Rink is to
be complimented upon the efficient and
practical manner in which the company
was afforded the opportunity of producing
the play and exhibiting their scenery by
the erection of excellent stage facilities.
The company will appear again this even
ing and should be greeted by a crowded
house.

EDToRsHlP.-Some people estimate the
ability of periodical and the talent of its
editor by the quantity of its original mat
ter. 1t is comparatively an easy task for a
frothy wliter to string out a column of
words upon any and all subjects. His
ideas may flow in one weak, washy, ever
lasting flood, and the command of his Ian
guage may enable him to string them to-
gether like punches of onions, and yet his
paper may be but meagre and poor cen
cern.-ILdeed the mere writing part OF ed
iting paper is but a small portion of the
work. The care, the time employed in Sc
lecting, is far more important, and the fact
of good editor is better shown by his se-
lections than anything else; and that, we
know, is half the battle. But, as we have
said, an editor ought to be estimated, mis-
labor understood and appreciated, by the
general conduct of his paper-its tone, its
uniform, consistent course, aim, manliness,
dignity, and its propriety, Courier Journal.
