ST. JOHN is AT IT AGAIN.

The Long Haired President Of the scran
ton Club Arises to Remark.
President st. John, Of the Scranton
Base Ball association, is much elated
over the success Of the home club, SO
elated in fact that for second time
this season he has decided that the
Scranton club can get along very well
without the assistance the newspapers
give towards making the national game
popular and talked about. To a TRI-
BUNE reporter he said last night:
I'VE are seriously considering the
adyisability Of taking up all the tickets
now held by newspapers and paying
for the advertising of such games as
the club plays in this city. Some ac-
tion will be taken with regard to this
matter tomorrow
The reporter assured Mr.. ST. John
that such action on the part Of the as
sociation would be heartily applaudel
in the business offices of the daily pa
pers of the city, every one of
which has devoted valuable space
and expended much money in &C.
curately reporting games at home
and abroad all OF which has been cer-
tain extent advertising for the Scran-
ton Base Ball association and for which,
10 far as THE TRIBUNE is concerned, it
has never been reeompenssd to the
extent of one cent in coin of the realm.
1t is business arrangement in which
the base ball association has decidedly
the best OF it.
II the members Of the Scranton Base
Ball association are not destitute of
business sense they will suppress MIR.
ST. John. The newspaper people OF
this city have listened long enough and
much too patiently to his mouthings
concerning the obligations they are
under In being allowed to report the
games Of the Scranton Base Ball club.

and roaring with fun. The New Boy is
the husband OF the matron of big,
fashionable school. The doctor in
charge of it is an old admirer and he
wants to marry her. He has willed her
his fortune on condition that she does
not marry again. He has not seen her
for years, imagines her little husband to
be the son of her former husband. She
does not deceive him. The little man is

a fearful time. He is hazed, dragged out

Daniel Frohman, in Q speech at the
recent dinner given by the American
Dramatists club, stated that during the
last seven years he had produced at the
Lyceum theater. IL original American
plays, by native writers, and 13 foreign
pieces by nine authors. Mr.. Frohmsn
added that he had paid on these plsys,
from their accumulated productions Cat
the Lyceum theater and on tour, the
sum of $203,000 in royalties to the au-
thors and $ll8.000 Of this sum had gone
to American writer's. A. M. Palmer, in
commenting upon the value to managers
and authors of the proposed bill to stop
play piracy. hoped it would result in the
writing OF plays worth protecting, and
that managers stood not only In need Of
good American plays, but were ready to
pay literally for them.
Julian Magnus said the other day !:

Captain Richards, Who shouldered the
Burden, Tells of the Manner In
Which He Was Drawn
Into the Nat.

Last night the Grand opera house
under the management OF Captain Rick
ards. closed its doors. A. W. Benson
The Merry Baron, opened the place only
few weeks ago in blaze OF glory and
it closes now under financial cloud.
As far as Captain Rickard's part in
the downfall OF the place is concerned
it would seem that his actions have
been above reproach. Last night Mr.
Richards granted an interview TO re
porter OF the HERALD.
"Mr. Benson, whom had The misfor-
tune to meet almost Immediately on my
arrival In this city from England" he
said, told me in the presence OF my
wife and on many distinct occasions that
he was making from 5000 to $500 q week,
and induced me. by other false repre-.
ssntations to give him over $4,000 for a
half interest in the Grand Opera house.
II paid him $4,000 at first and before l
paid him the balance he assured me
that he would never ask me for another
cent, but that he would use my money
and his own in making the theater sue
cess.
"He induced me to permit of his leavs

The Los Angeles theater is to have
the American Extravaganza company in
Aladdin, Jr., next week. This will be
the first opportunity Los Angeles the
ater-goers have had OF seeing this great
company. Manager David Henderson
has always wanted to bring his big or
ganization to this city, but none OF the
stages OF the theaters have ever been
large enough to produce his spectacles.
Now that the stage of the Los Angeles
theater has been enlarged ne has arr
ranged to bring Aladdin, Jr., his latest
and greatest production, to the Los An
geles theater next week. II will be pro-
duced here in all its entirely, with ev-

but except in case OF some distinguish
ing act, the Brothers Newell might ap.
pear hero or villain interchangea for
all that the audience could tell. The
play is not OF the familiar type of melo-
drama, but sbounds in lively dialogue,
quick action, and thrilling olimaxes,
abductions, murder. Steamer and rail-
road wrecks follow so close upon each
other and portrayed with such realism
that one 10 carried through the five acts
as if in real life and seems to forget the
playhouse until the fall Of the curtain at
tina end.
The action OF the play rests upon the
close resem blancs of the hero, George
Darlington, and his counterpart who
plots to take his place, and it has been
written with careful regard for intensity
of contrasts. Messrs. William and
Willard Newell, for whom the piece was
written, do not lack in ability, and the
resem blance between them is made
more striking because OF the sameness
of intonation and gesture.

The popular Imperial music hall has
gained place for itself in the minds of
the public, and, like the vaudeville
houses OF the east, is doing full justice
by keeping faith with it's patrons in
bringing expensive talent to this city.
