PROSPECTS FOR BASE BALL.
subscriptions VIII BE Taken from the
Citizens About Town.

There are now good prospects OF this
city being represented in the State
league next season, as start has been
made toward forming an association
to conduct the club In this city. A sub
scription paper has been circulated
among the prominent citizens, all of
whom are in favor Of the idea. All
will be given chance to subscribe If
they wish. Every person approached
so far has been willing to give financial
help to the organization.
Among those who have subscribed
large amounts are Major Hendricks,
DR.. j. $. Niles, F. Z. Dennis, w. 3.
Gritman. +. p. Brown and A. L. Sahm.
About $1,000 is needed to pay expenses,
but possibly s3,5OO might meet all de-
mands. To raise this. shares which are
within the reach of all, will be sold.
OF this 25 per cent. will be required to
to be paid in by Feb. 1. The remaind-
er Is liable to assessment only If the
club should at any time fail to meet
expenses.
AS a location the games will take
place at Alumni Park instead of at
Anthracite Park. This arrangement, it
is thought, will draw larger crowds
as many from Jermyn and Olyphant
would tlien attend. 1t will also do
away with the large number of people
who view the games from the hillsides
at Anthracite Park.

quently listening to the fiattery or kind
but thoughtless friends, and, like merry
10 ronnd, we enjoy 1t until 1t makes US
dizzy
They tell us we are great; that we are
wanted; that wo are simply perfect; that
we have reached the top.
We listen, we forget the cool headed gen.
tleman, and II we think of that second lit
tie step at all il is to imagine that we have
passed far beyond It,
The gentleman in front doesn't care
snap what wo think or feel. He Is there
TO criticise the work we do
He sees no improvement and says so.
The old and the new parts are too similar,
and he says 30.
We read IL; we are surprised; we are an
noyed, very much annoyed. There Is a
pale blush light in the room and an odor
OF sulphur, and If we allow our friends 70
console us and convince us that the cool
headed gentleman is brute, and that "he
doesn't know what he Is talking about.

But If VIC pause and do little thinking
on our own account, get back to terra
flrma, as 1t were, we will soon come TO q
realization Of the fact that stage art is not
the simplest of the arts, and that, although
there il woeful similarity In human ma
ture, there Is a vast difference in charac-
tiers.
We can be perfect In one part, but there
are others In which we might be most i'm
perfect for tho simple reason that the
characters are so different, and II we would
approach perfection we should be able to
completely convince our audience that they
ore witnessing character other than our
own-make them forgot our individuality
In our work.
When acting is regarded as the art 1t
really wins; when IL Is studied, respected
and loved by all its interpreters as it ought
to be lessons will be given in the theater
as good and as useful as those given in the
church. But it rests with us to sustain
this glorious art, TO save IL from decay.
II rests with us to infuse into it the har-
mony Of music, the coloring and expression
Of the great painter, the repose of the mar
BILE, and TO surround all with life, being,
atmosphere. Is 1t a simple art, or does 1t
Snean work?
Success or failure is the answer.
