sPENsER's PRINCESS BONNIE.

Academy OF Music.

II Was Received with Enthusiasm at the
Academy OF Music.
The author of Little Tycoon" needs
no introduction to Scranton music low
ers. 1t is, therefore, needless to state
that large and enthusiastic audience
assembled at the Academy last evening
to witness the first performance in this
city Of Willard Sponsors last opera,
Princess Bonnie"
There is no question that the antici-
pations of the most enthusiastic admir-
ers of this well known American COM
poser were realized in the presentation
ME-" The opera in every way is su-
perior to the Little Tycoon" and the
manner in which it was put upon the
stage last evening showed that no eX-
pense had been considered in arranging
the details of the magnificent stage set
tings and dazzling costumes.
The plot is something of the Sunday
school library fairy tale order and deals
with the lost child, who was washed
ashore along the coast of Maine or
some other eastern state, and later turns
out to be a Spanish princess. The
story, however, is worked out in a
charming way that covers many incon-
sistencies in construction.
Miss Eleanor Mayo, asiPrincess Bon
ME, gave an excellent impersonation
and captivated the audience at the
start. Miss Mayo possesses the first
essentials to success in comic opera
Rare beauty and fine stage presence.
Her voice, though lacking in cultiva-
ton, is one of great power, which will
no doubt improve under future training.
There seems no question that bright
career is before the young artist.
Miss Lillian Swain Marion, who has
delighted Scranton audiences hereto
fore, never appeared to better advan-
tage than as Kittie Glover; and the
inimitable Frank Daniels, as Shrimps
was funner than ever.
The support by the company was eX.
cellent throughout, Miss Mabella Baker
and Messrs. Burnham, Greenfelder
Armstrong, Broderick and Walker were
worthy Of especial mention,

To Our Friends and the public

Replying to an article in yesterdays is
sue of this paper saying that I'VE are no
longer In the employ of the Frothing-
ham" we would say: We never have
been in their employ. We have a service
to offer as bill posters which Is open to
any one. and as members of an associa-
ton which imposes a penalty of $500 for
non-fulfillment of a contract, we guaran-
tee such work. Mr.. Frothingham ac-
cepted this service for his theater. Since
the advent of a new manager? we have
been constantly in hot water and sub
jected to insults and bluffs owing to a
narrow minded, jealous feeling on the part
of this manager? that he was not getting
equal advantages with other people in the
same line of business. Finally, firing of
his abuse, we asked to have a contract
which would define our relations exactly
and secure prompt payments for our work,
which he refused. We then declined to
do any more work for the house, except
under contract, The balance still due
us for our services was the cause Of our
arrest on Friday last (Which is only one
Of his petty persecutions) as we held some
paper, intended for that house, for our
| money.
We expect, however, to remain in the
bill posting business, and take this oppor.
tunity to thank our many friends fol
their support, and with the assurance that
| any work given us will be cared for.
Respectfully,
| REESE & LONG, City Bill Posters

NEW HOTEL TERRACE.
1t Was Opened TO the Public Yesterday in
Very Auspicious Manner-Notable Ad.
ditiOn to Scranton Hotels.

dltlOn 10 scranton nOtelS.
The Hotel Terrace, the palatial new
building at Wyoming avenue and Vine
street, was opened yesterday with a
sumptuous banquet which augured
well for the excellence of cuisine and
arrangement.
The building comprises over 100rooms
and the visitor is at once impressed
with the exquisite taste displayed in
the furnishing arrangements. Enter
ing the wide doors on Vine street the
guest is ushered into the colonial hall,
which is filled with alcoves, delightful
ly situated amid ferns and rare flowers,
and in the center of the hall large
old-fashioned hearth is erected, which
Immediately makes the guest feel that
he is at home, an essential point in ho-
tel life. From the large hall massive
oak doors open into the chief drawing
room, which Is furnished in the Roman
style and, although artistic, has the ap-
pearance of solid comfort, combina-
tion rarely successfully attained. The
dining room will seat about 125 per-
sons.
Beyond this are the private dining
rooms, designed for small social din
ners, etc, and are within easy call of
the chef. The culinary arrangements
comprise all recent improvements, in
cluding steam tables, steam washing
and cleaning apparatus and all inven-
tions which tend to first class cuisine.
There are five stories, all of which
are furnished in the best style and the
proprietor, w. H. Whyte, Is to be con-
graduated upon the successful result
of his labors. Mr.. Whyte, who is well
known in Scranton, endeavors to sup
ply want which he considers has long
been felt in this city, as many require
home of refinement, and where first
class attendance and arrangements
can be guaranteed, and this he is
strenuously endeavoring to fulfill.
Although the hotel was opened but
yesterday, a large number Of guests
were registered, which formed a very
auspicious first day for the enterpris-
ing management of the latest addition
to Scranton hotels.

CHIEF OF POLICE ARRESTED.
Four Priceburg Officers Confined in the
County Jail,

County Jail.
A Priceburg citizen turned the taoles
on the law yesterday and caused the
arrest of Chief Of Police Max Koehler,
Constable John Sweskie and Joseph and
John Gerskie, deputy constables. The
four were brought to this city last night
and locked in the county Jail on charge
Of having forcibly entered the residence
of John Siles.
Each of the quartette was silent
when questioned concerning his Of
fence, but slgnified that all would be
released on bail today. The warrant
for their arrest was issued by Justice
of the Peace Gilday, of Archibald, and
reads to the effect that the chief of
police, constable and two deputies are
guilty of forcible house-entry. 1t Is
supposed that the men are only guilty
of being over-zealous in the discharge
of some duty.
Chief Koehler is considered a palms
taking and efficient officer, and was re-
Gently wounded while arresting party
of drunken Hungarians.

FIRE AT GREENWOOD.
Flames Are Responsible for Two Home
less Families.

Before it was discovered, at 7.3O last
evening, fire, which had originated in
the top story of the building owned
and occupied by Mrs. Austin Mulherin,
Of Greenwood, broke through the roof
and had gained such headway that,
with the lack of facilities for fighting
the fire, the building was speedily con-
sumed. Not more than remnant of
the furniture was saved.
The home Of Mrs. Jane Hennigan, ad-
joining, also caught fire and was burned
down. Both houses were frame two
story structures and were not insured
Mrs. Mulherins loss amounts TO about
$500, and Mrs. Hennigan's to $500. Both
women are widows and their loss falls
heavy upon them.
The belief is that the fire originated
from a defective stove pipe leading
from heating stove in which fire
had been just started for the first time

came to the scene and said the dead
man was his brother, who had left
home Saturday and had not been seen
since. The skull was crushed, both
legs were cut off and the body other
wise mutilated.
The verdict rendered by the jury was
to the effect that death was due to
being struck by train while walking
on the railroad tracks.

The search for Joe Boschino, who
murdered Francisco COMFORT on Bun

In speaking Of the various successes
and failures in opera, Mr. Spenser said
that 1t was his opinion that the opera
that had the longest life was the one in
W
dramatic interest. No matter how bright
and witty the dialogue, if the plot did not
contain something that appealed to the
interest or sympathies of the auditor
they would not care to listen to it the
second time and 1t is not long that good
music can bolster up play that is com
posed of jokes that have become thread
bare with age. The most successful of
Gilbert and Sullivan's works, "Pinafore," "
and THE Mikado," Mr.. Spenser claimed,
| owed their success to the dramatic inter
est that was attached to the plot of the
| libretto. While the music of others per.
haps might have been just as good, and
| the bits of satire more keen, yet they
lacked that something which appeals To
| the masses and creates an interest that Is
not satisfied with the witnessing of one
rendition of the opera.
