BEST OF THE SEASON.
"The Country Circus" Should Be Seen TO
be Appreciated.

lie Appreciated.
To attempt to describe the colossal
production of THE Country Circus"
which was given last night at the
rockingham by the C. B. jefferson,
Klaw & Erlanger original company, is
a hopeless task. 1t is a circus in fact,
as well as in name; it is a plausible
play smacking strongly of pastoral
happenings; 1t contains u real circus
ring, has real spectators and real per-
formers-it is grand production which
makes the play-goer wonder what the
theatrical world will develop next, and
amuses young as we'll as old.
If the appreciation Of last nights
audience is any criterion, the play
will be sufficiently and deservedly free
advertised to such an extent that
standing room at the rockingham will
be at a premium this afternoon and
evening, when the spectacle is to be re-
peated.
In substance the story of the play
deals with rural residents of a Massa-
chusetts village and girls elopement
with circus man. This part of the
comedy picture requires only an hour
to round out the story into THE Coun-
try Circus" where the girl is found at
the end of the performance. How the
company manages to keep an ever
changing and real circus parade mile
long passing across the stage without
stoppage or confusion-that is their Sc
cret. But that is what happens, and
is realistic enough to make old people
wish they were young and to make
young people glad they are young.
Among the acrobatic performers are
William Showles, bareback rider, who
has been several seasons with Barnum;
the Bark Ben Achmets, a troupe of
eleven real Arabs; La Belle Tina,
trapeze artist and Muldoon, the famous
wrestling pony. There are many other
real circus ring performers, and all go
to make up the best play of its kind
which has been seen in Scranton this
season.
The attraction deserves the presence
of audiences today that will test the
seating capacity of the theater

THE SYMPHONY CONCERT.
Artistic Entertainment at the Academy of
Music Last Evening.

Artistic Entertainment at the Academy of
Music Last Evening.
The first grand concert given by the
Scranton Wilkes Barre Symphony or
chestra at the Academy last evening
was greeted by an audience that made
up in enthusiasm what 1t lacked in
numbers, being composed almost entire
ly of musicians who appeared to be
greatly pleased at the excellent pro-
gramme rendered.
The entertainment opened with the
overture, "Ruy Bias" by Mendelssohn,
which was interpreted in a manner
that surprised the most sangune sup
porters of the Symphony orchestra, and
demonstrated Mr.. Hemberger's eff
ficiency as a musical director, In cer-
tain passages the brass instruments
were rather too prominent, but upon
the whole the work of the orchestra
was commendable throughout.
Joseph Pizzarello played the Wagner
Liszt Tannheauser selection, which was
heartily encored.
Mrs. Theo Hemberger, the well
known soprano, followed with selec-
tion in German, and was also obliged to
respond to an enthusiastic encore.
The work of Mr.. Summerhill, cornet-
list, was well received, and the efforts
of the musicians throughout the enter
tainment were greeted with enthusias-
tic Indications of approval
The members of the Symphony or
chestra have e'been prompted solely by
the love for music and a desire to ele-
vate taste for better class of COM
position, in banding themselves to-
gether as society, and it is to be
regretted that more substantial support
was not given their enterprise last
evening.

jury celebrating on the suit of Will
lam May against the Carbondale Trac-
ton company had agreed upon ver-
dict. In charge of Tipstaff Keller, the

structing the verdict.
In few MINUTES they returned with

EXAMINING A WITNESS.
How General Butler Discredited the Tes-

How General Butler Discredited the les
timony of Conductor.
General Butler as counsel for the
plaintiff in q damage case against
one of the Boston street railway
companies, some years since, turned a
point in his client : favor and won his
case by an adrOit and original move,
The accident in question had taken
place in a crowded street, and the
testimony was contradictory and
confusing. The conductor OF the car,
on the witness stand, sWore point
blank against the plaintiff. Ills cNl'
denco was concise, and he claimed to
have seen all the occurrences Of the
affair and described them minutcly,
disbuting the general client at every
turn. 1t was manifest that if the
conductor told the truth the plaintiff
had no case.
The general took up the cross OK
animation, but the witness stuck to
his story.
What is that2" said the general,
pointing to the bell punch suspended
from the witness neck.

"And what is a bell punchI' inno-
Gently inquired the lawyer. And

of how the machine rang the bell to

the amount was being recorded by
the machinery on the inside. The
why's and wherefores, the necessity
for the thing and the companys
rules were gone into until the court
was well nigh out of patience and
the jury were plainly wearying.
And what do you do if a mistake
is made and you come out short when
YOU and the machine are at vari-

Wont they take your word forit;'

Fickleness, Thy Name Is Maine Girl!

The other day a Lewiston young
lady made an agreement with one OF
her admirers to go out walking that
evening. Later she met another,
whom she invited to call that same
evening She had forgotten the first.
Then when a third one of her beaux
made his appearance she agreed to
go walking with him. In the even
ing the first young man came for
her. She went, and soon the second
arrived, and being told that she was
out he said he would go and meet
her.
When she saw him coming, she re-
membered her engagement, excused
herself from the first young man
and walked with the second. They
came to a confectionery store, and
she remained outside while he went
in after chocolates The third young
man came along while she waited,
and she graciously promenaded of
with him Now she says she will be
more careful of her appointments. -
