of Music tonight in their success Eight

be marked by number of new tricks.
An entirely new last act which will
present some of the most costly and
elaborate scenery on the stage. The
new paper Is some of the most artistic
ever printed and could be saved by en-
thusiastic theater patrons as souvenirs
of the progress and devotion to art of
these world-famous and talented art
lists, the Brothers Byrne.
Monday night, Thomas e. Shea and
company open their engagement at the
Academy of Music with Escaped from

which has been largely reconstructed
since It's last presentation here. Mr..
Shea is supported by a strong and
evenly balanced company. A Boston
critic says of Mr.. Shea that "he is q
men of promise, with an enviabe
career before him. He Is fervent and
eloquent. He not only interprcts the
spirit, pathos and intellectual points in
play, but he deliniates every shade
and color"

Words by BARTON ADAMS.

The "Chimes of Normandy" will be
given by the Scranton Oratorio society,
under the direction of Richard Lindsay
at the Academy of Music on Monday
evening, Dec. 81. The cast of charac-
ters will include Louise Natalie of New
York; Julia Allen, Mr.. Peake, of New
York; John Il. Watkins and other
talented local vocalists, supported by
chorus of about fifty voices. 1t is
probable that renditions of the opera
will also be given at Carbondale and at
Pittston on dates following the presen-
tation in Scranton.
Charles b. Derman, the choir master
and vocal Instructor, has recently COM
posed several selections for voice and
guitar, which he expects to have pub
lshed in the near future. Mr.. Derman
has a thorough knowledge of the in
strument and possesses in addition an
understanding of harmony coupled
with natural talents as a musician.
There is no doubt that his productions
will prove popular If placed upon the

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH,

We have heard nothing but favorable comments on the proposed scheme for the celebration; and kindly expressions of willingness to help to perfect and carry out the program. It would seem to be an easy thing to do, because it promises good time to every one with out any great risk, or expense, or re- sponsiblity. Itis simply plan to bring all the people together for common cause, for their own pleasure and mutual benefit. The chief thing necessary to success is prompt and generous co-opera- tion. It need not cost any one any more than to stay at home. The people can all bring their own picnic and have the privilege of enjoying all there is without money and without price if they will. I doubt if such celebration would cost the town at large as much, all things considered, as would be spent, ordinarial ly, without it.
 The basis of the celebration is to be educational. We want all the school children in the town to march together, 800 strong at least, each with flag in hand.-- O. o. Wright.

HE FOUND THE WATCH.

There is a good joke on the genial J. Botsf0rd FarchiJd of Taunton district
 which his friends declares is too good to keep. Last week he was in Bethel
 and when he arrived at his home he found that his watch was missing. He natural ly thought he lost it in Bethel. So the next morning about 3 o'clock he started for Bethel, just as daylight was breaking. He looked very closely along the way, but never a watch did he find. On ar irving home about a. m.. he put the horse up. Later he had occasion to har- ness the pair he used the night before and placed one harness on the horse, and was about to tigh en the straps, when he heard peculiarsnoise. On close ex- animation he found his watch hanging to the harness. A strap had caught the chain when he unharnessed the night be. fore, and there the watch hung suspend ed by the chain. MT Fairchild frankly owns the joke is on him.

AN INTERESTING LECTURE BY DIR SMITH

AN INTERESTING LECTURE BY DIR SMITH
 Dr Junius F. Smith delivered very able and instructive lecture on Tuesday evening in the Congregational church, for the benefit of the village improve ment society, his subject being the Bat tie of Waterloo" To say the doctor is success as a lecturer only half expresses the feelings of those who were fortunate enough to listen to him, and to realize that we have one in our midst who can write so beautifully and express himself so well, makes us proud indeed. Con- gratulations and hand shakings by the audience at the close kept the doctor busy for some time. The old residents are beginning to realize that those who have recently taken up their abode with us are in dead earnest about improving our village. Since the organization of the village improvement society, last January, over $120 has been placed to their credit. With an artist like H. Allen Smith and a lecturer with the ability of Dr J. F. Smith giving enter tainments every few weeks for the bene- fit the society, each entertainment being worth double the price of admission, the fund will increase and our town be the gainer. R. T. Clarke, in few appropri- ate words suited to the occasion, intro duced the speaker to the audience.
