ADJUSTMENTS.
UNCLE HIRAM.

Aaron II. Woodhull's Uncle Hiram"
company appeared at the Crawford Grand
last night to good audience considering
the inclemency of the weather. Mr..
Woodruff, himself, WAS very satisfactory,
but his support was weak, and taking the
performance as awhole it was by no means
commensurate with the prices OF adnlis-
sion. There was some fun in the play, but
it was that kind of fun that one can get by
the bushel at popular price performances.
1t cost 81 to sit in the parquet,
while the self-same seat during
the Spooner company's performances
was only 80 cents, and everybody who has
had an opportunity to judge between both
companies know that the Spooner COM
pany excelled Uncle Hiram" 10 every
particular.
One or two or maybe three important
characters were Interpreted by parties
who could not begin to compare with our
own local artists There WAS none of til at
artistic grace and refinement about the
performance which one expects to see at a
standard price show, hence all the ap-
plause which it received came from the
upper deck.
An Irish play in four acts called The
Fairies Well'' is strong in dramatic in
terest and it contains a great deal that IS
new in plot, character and situation. The
action runs smoothly and the dialogue Is
easy and often bright. The two Williams
of Che piece, Mark Condor and Dan Car
mody, have designs against the property
and character of the heroine Eunice Beres-
ford. 1t is largely through Larry Dee, "A
whipper-in for the hero, Tracy Farrell, and
his faculty for always happening TO be in
the right place to discover plots, overhear
secrets and save lives. that all the evil
schemes are defeated. Condor also has il
desire for the hand OF Larry's sweetheart.
Mona Carmody, and he is defeated in this
as in everything else. Some minor Incl
deats based on Halloween legend OF h
well in whose waters any young woman
may see the face of her future husband
give the play its name. The Fairies
Well" is announced for the Grand opera
house here Feb. 10th and 1lth.

you woull know it just as do, said
she, and suddenly she sat down beside
the little table on which the black basket
of wax frlie stood and hid her face in
her hands. Gregory rose and stood at
the window.
Looking out, the young mother was
in the hammock again rocking the
child. She had plucked some great yell
low sunfowers. which she waved be-
fore its eyes to attract its attention.
A country beauty turned into dowdy
by the trials of motherhood. Something
Of the vixen in her. too, he judged.
He looked back into the room. Rose
had risen and now came toward him.
Her eyelids were slightly Redeemed by
weeping, but she looked more like the
little girlish Madonna than ever.
81 must seem very silly 20 you," said
she. "But we were in such corner,
poor Lizzie and I, and to think that story
should save us! couldn't tell you how
Ifeel.''
Gregory took both her hands in his
and looked down into her eyes.
Glow strange he thought, ''that the
grand. gray bearded hero of my imagi-
nation should be transformed into this
little soul; that there under the f1axeu

that low forehead with its gold pencil
ed eyebrows, lie all these wonderful
thoughts and fancies. cannot realize

too long.

looked into it.

she ran up stairs and was soon back
again. She brought bottle of blue ink
and little pen in a glass holder with
blue stripes that ran about it like those
on a BARRIERS pole.

packages" said she. Don't you think
it very pretty?"
"And that wonderful book was all
written with that? he said, holding the
cheap toy reverently.
''With the handle. but I used six
pens,' said she solemnly. My fingers
were all cramped sometimes" She sat
down at the table. He took the contract
from his pocket. read it to her and told
her where to sign. There was no mis-
taking the handwriting, tine very same
that had covered the blue paper in the
blue bundle.
When she had carefully applied the
blotter to the contract and given it bacl.
to him with smile, she said:

CHAPTER. V

Gregory declined the refresllmeut. but
not the chair. He sat down again. AS
he looked at the girl and listened to her
homely speech he felt like one in a
dream. 1t even occurred to him that all
the talk at which he had laughed of
people composing under. spirit influ-
ence' might have foundation in fact.
If this girl wrote that book, miracles
were certainly still to be expected. At
least there was some other sense-some
other means of acquiring knowledge of
the world and of mems hearts than phi
losophers were yet acquainted with.
'And so you are supposed to live in
a haunted house?" he said, to make talk.
''There is material for another novel
perhaps if you have any liking for
stories of the supernatural"
do you really think they can come
back!" she asked. 81 wish I knew"
I'VE all wish that, I think" Gregory
said.

There is q class Of short sighted and penuri.
GUS tOre.keepers calling themselves business
men, who will do anything possible TO give
their money for job printing and advertising
to non nresidents of their town, in preference
to the home printer. They are always ready
to be caught on any cheap and utterly worth

never have one cents worth Of work for the

the affair and the re-
porters have eventually hit upon some Of
the facts in their search for news.
The accused man in the case is one of the
most prominent in the town and the accuser
is a woman who has resided here but few
days.
According to the facts given the reporter
the woman and her husband recently moved
to this town from Mahanoy City, bringing
with them some furniture which had been
purchased on the instalment plan and which
had not been wholly paid for. The firm
from whom the purchase was made swore out
warrant before a Mahanoy City Justice,
charging the husband with larceny. Being
unable to furnish bail the man was obliged to
go to the Pottsville prison.
This is the prelude. The play itself begins
with great worriment on the part of the wife
over the husbands arrests and it remains for
trial at court to decide whether this worr-
meut led to what the accused prominent man
says is blackmail. In speaking with friends
over the furniture case the woman said she
believed that if she could secure legal advice
her husband could be extricated from his
trouble and one of the friends offered to
introduce the woman to gentleman who
could perhaps give the advance wished. The
| introduction followed and the gentleman
promised to see a lawyer and ascertain what
could be done,
Thus closed act one of the play. Act two
opened with a call upon the woman by the
gentleman whose aid had been sought to
state the advice given by the lawyer Dur.
ing this call the woman alleges, the visitor
forgot his business and was guilty of a
hagrant violation of the law. She says he
took advantage of the absence of others and
| committed an assault with criminal intent
! 1t is also alleged that the visitor was ex.
ceedingly bold and refused to leave the
! house even when the woman aud her sister
threatened to throw boiling water upon him
| The woman who claims to have thus been
wronged appealed to the law and the inter
mediate legal adviser was arrested and put
under bail for trial at the next term of court
The accused man protests that he is moi
guilty and that the charge against him is al
attempt at blackmail A singular feature o.
the case is that while the woman states tina
during the assault determined attempt wa
made to ravish her, the charge in the case il
one only of simply assault, but that tht
complainant is determined to press tn,
charge is shown by the fact that she has EN-
ployed lawyer. Meanwhile the furniture
case has dropped out of view on account o
the sensational character of the other case
but at last accounts the husband was still il
