dered the committee.
Following Is an excerpt from the re-
port of the manufacturers committee,
which was adopted:
Relative to the Acetylene Gas company,
reference to which was made in our last
report; contrary to the direct statement
made by one of their representatives
while here that no financial aid was re-
qured, they now insist that In order to
secure the industry, our citizens must pur-
chase $500 of their per cent. bonds, and as
a bonus 10 per cent of stock would be
given free with the bonds. Your commit
tee promptly Informed them that this
board could not promise them any finan-
cial assistance under such conditions.
on the evening Of Oct Is we met with
the proprietors Of car manufacturing

exchanged and thoroughly discussed. A
detailed statement as to the financial con-
dition Of their business will be forwarded

steps will be taken to bring about. the de-
sired result We hope TO be able to re-
port the success Of our efforts at the Mo-
vember meeting.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.
Some Of the Plays That Arc Billed to
Appear in Citv Thcaters.

Roland Reed has sailed triumphantly
into the affections of the tneater-goers
with his new play, THE Politician"
which ne will present at the Froth-
ingham next Friday night. Laughter
re!gns supreme. The play Is an ex-
ceedingly clever satire upon the modern
politician and his methods and the diff
ferent scenes depict with llfe-like real
ity the many phases of machine poll
tics The role of General Josiah Timber
In the hands of Mr.. Reed is a creation

trayed by Miss Isadore Rush.

theater-goers that neyer-failing source
Of prOfitab recreation. a fund of nov
city Mirth and melody form a com
hnation hard to beat and in these two
elements THE Hustler" Is claimed to
particularly excel. Unadulterated wit
Is a rare commodity In so-called farce
comedies, but as the author Of ''Tha
hustler claims Tor MS WORK only n
skillfully constructed vehicle for the
marketing OF pleasing article Of
Amusement, doubtless the result will
show an Improvement over the stock
parcelled out by the less modest pur-
veyOr.
The Founding.
The farce which Manager Charles
Frohman will present at the Frothing-
ham next week Is THE Founding" by
William Lestocq. who wrote Jane
and E. NJ Robson. The story Of the
comedy puts young man to laughable
experiences In his search Of his un-
known mother. whom he must find be-
fore his prospective mother-in-law will
permit him to marry into her family.
The fun that is In the play should be
made to reach the audience by such
farcical experts as Thomas Burns. s.
Miller Kent, Charles w. Butler, George
Schaeffer. f. Soldene Powell. Frances
Stevens. Stella Zanoni, Maggie Halo
way Fisher. Clara Baker Rust, Maggie

ject followed Secretary Atherton's re-
marks upon the subject. He said: 1T
Is believed by a great many members
Of the board OF trade, and by citizens
generally, tina q public market place In
this city would be of inestimable value,
and my attention has been repeatedly
called TO the subject, and the opinion
expressed is hat this organization
should take the matter up that the inn
portance of 1t may be intelligently dis
cussed and acted upon. Therefore in
order that the subject may be brought
regularly before you, l offer the follow
ing resolution:
"'Resolvea. That a committee OF five
members be appointed to be known as
Public Market Committee with in
struction to investigate the feasibility
and wisdom Cf establishing n public
market in the city OF Scranton. and to
present a written report at the Novem-
Der meeting of this board"
John NJ. Kemmerer r. J. Foster Sec
retary Atherton, II. Il. Payne and j. A.
Lansing discussed the matter at some
length. There was no consensus of
opinion as to whether the city or indi-
viduals should own the market. The
remarks indicated the need of mar
kct and the resolution was unanimously
adopted. According to its provisions
President May announced the following
public market committee: Walter
