This is what you find at the Lindley
market on Washington avenue, and
which places 1t today as the leading
market in the city, II not in this part OF
the state. No pains will be spared In
keeping 1t as such. Its central location
and the fact that 1t Is on a street not
occupied by street cars also adds to its
attractiveness as a shopping point. 1t
will hereafter the Scranton Cash Store
tion with the Scranton Cash Store,
which together. will make the most
convenient shopping place in Scranton.
The consolidation of these two
branches will materially lessen the ex-
pense Of each. and while the prices In
the grocery department have always
been very low, those Of vegetables and
fish can be considerably lowered under
the new arrangement. Mr. Lindley
will have charge Of the market. Mr..
Spencer. the grocery; Mr.. Jifkins, the
the confectionery. All of the delivery
wagons Of both concerns will be kept
in service, making seven constantly on
the road, which will insure a strictly
flrstclass delivery service.
No statesmen will be sent out for or
ders, as so many families consider 1t a
nuisance being annoyed by them. But
the quality Of the goods, the neatness
of the stores, the reasonable prices and
the No. service in every respect, will
be depended upon to bring buyers to
the store, giving them also an oppor-
tunity to select what goods they want.
We are now in shape under new ar
rangement, and respectfully invite a
visit to see our facilities for doing busi-
ness.

A DECIDED SUCCESS.

ccptiou Last Night.

FIcur dc Lis Received an Enthusio site Re.
ception Last Night.
Della Fox as "Fleur-de-Lis" last
night made her first appearance In this
city as comic opera star and scored
hit, decided hit, in which her company
contributed to a large degree, the lead
ing comedian, Jefferson De Angels,
dividing the honors with Miss Fox. AS
much cannot be said for the music-it
was not bad, nor was 1t good; 1t was in
different.
Miss Fox has always been welcomed
in Scranton, but this last reception
must have more than gratified her. The
rockingham was filed from pit to
dome with a select and enthusiastic au-
dience which warmed to the spirit of
the performers from the beginning and
did not cease its encores until the ring
ing of the curtain.
Whatever may have been the opinion
of the opera in other cities, it was cer-
tainly received with great favor here,
favor which indicates that "Fleur-de-
Lis" and Della will be well welcomed
wherever they go. As an opera "Fleur-
de-Lis" is not conducive to such admir-
alton as will keep 1t going as long as did
Wang" for instance; but with the
present splendid company. especially
including De Angels, and with it's COM
plete and appropriate scenery and set
tings 1t seems destined to run with the
public until the time when the public
usually gets tired of such a thing. 1t is
plain that "Fleur- de- Lis" was manu-
factured for the pretty little star and
such comedian as De Angels; the
whole combination was made to cause
laughter and to please and 1t will sue
ceed as long as Miss FoX's support Is as
good as now.
"Fleur-de-LiS," in story, Is a narra-
tive of two French noblemen of CEN
turies ago who, while being firm friends.
resolved to war with each other. The
Marquis de Rosoli finds himself be-
sieged and Fleur-de-Lis comes to him
as his daughter, an unknown possession
of the Marquis. and she succeeds in
uniting again his friendship with Count
des Escaribilles and marries the counts
son, Frederick The first act Is in the
public square in st. Claude, where is
located the counts residence and above
which Is seen the fortress of the mar
quis the scene of the second act. The
third and final act Is in the interior Of
an old mill, part Of the property in
dispute between count and marquis.
Each act is shown by scenery splendid
ly representing what might have been
places of action in feudal times. There
was an absence of any spectacular ef-
fects.
Melville Stewart as Frederick, in love
with "Fleur-de-Lis," was superb in
voice and acted we'll, and ALI Wheelan
as the marquis, interpreted we'll a diff
cult character. Christopher, an inspec-
tor, as portrayed by Charles ]. Camp
bell, deserves special tribute The Char
lotte of Kate Uart deserved the ap-
plause and favor 1t received. Without
exception the other members of the
company were good.
The opera will be at the rockingham
this afternoon and tonight Seats in
the gallery for each performance will be
sold for 20 cents each. The company
goes direct to Philadelphia from here.

VESPERS GIVEN THE curl
Decision Of the Committee Of the
Young Peoples Society.
RESOLUTION 1T HAS ADOPTED
Reasons That Arc Advanced Why the
Browning Cup Should Go to
the Society Of tho Penn
Avenue Church.

The Young Peoples society of the
First Welsh Baptist church, with
which the Hyde Park Literary and
Debating society has had so much con-
troversy over the Browning cup, has
decided to give the trophy to the Yes
per Literary society Of the central
city, thus ignoring the claim of the
Hyde Park society.
This action will cause general sur
prise to every one interested in the
affair. So confident was the Literary
society of receiving the cup by for
feiture that an open statement to that
effect was made in the daily papers of
recent date.
There will be some excitement when
this announcement is received. The
Welsh Baptist society appointed a COM
mittee to act upon the claim of the
Literary society. This committee has
To the members of the Young Peoples
Society Of the First Welsh Baptist

sider the advisability OF continuing the

Whereas. Friday night on which the
society was wont to be held, is now occu-
pied by meeting, in our opinion, of far
greater Importance to members Of Chris

Resolved That we recommends: 1. That
the society be discontinued. 2. Having
lived up to the rules governing the pos
session OF the cup as per Mr.. Brownings
decision, we claim the privilege granted
by the rule bearing upon the disbandment
Of the society in whose possession the cup
may be, viz: to return the cup to the So
ciety from which 1t was won. 3. That the
cup be returned to the Vespers. 4. That
the Hyde Park Literary and Debating So
ciety has no claim upon 1t, even by for
feiture 8. That under no consideration
will 1t be handed over to the latter society,
Notwithstanding pretended claim. We
have the honor to remain,
