ROBSON WELL RECEIVED.
His Clever Performance of Bronson
Howard's Comedy, Tho Henrietta.
Other Attractions.

A fashionable audience filed the
rockingham theater last evening to
witness the first production in this
city, by Stuart Robson, of Bronson
Howard's comedy. The Henrietta"
The scene of the comedy Is laid in the
New York home of Nicholas Vanal-
styne, a multi-millionaire magnate Of
Wall street, and in the office of the
multimillionaire's broker. Vanalstyne
has two sons, Nicholas, fills, q selfish
and unprincipled fellow speculator,
who, while enjoying his fathers fullest
confidence, plots to ruin him; and Ber-
tie. the lamb, good-hearted, soft
Drained chappie, of cigarette-smoking
club-going procllvities, who, in a criti-
cal moment, acts the man, and quite
unconsciously saves his father from ut
ter financial collapse. A hypocritical
parson, somewhat broadly sketched; (;
a clever widow and two or three young
women of marriageable age complete
the dramatis personae.
The play hinges almost entirely upon
the apparent idiocy of BERTHE, in its
bearing upon the fortunes of the stock
Of the Henrietta Mining and Railroad
company, and Mr.. Robson, In this role,
Is at his best. The expression of vacu-
ity which he manages at times to as
sumo is nothing short of n triumph of
genius. Perhaps for the reason that
the demand upon his own talent is
heavy, he has this year surrounded
himself with company of associate
players who, In the main, are only toll
cradle by reason of the contrast they
afford. In comparison with the sup
porting players in the original produc-
tion of this well-constructed play, the
present subordinates are notably def
cient.
1t Is announced that Daniel l.. Hart,
Of Wilkes-Barre, has been asked by MI.
Robson to write a new ply Tor pro-
duction by him next season. This re-
suit was brought about through an ac-
cidental visit, at Columbus, o., of Mr..
Robson's manager, William r. Hayden,
to Daniel Sullys inefficient recent pro-
duction of Mr.. Hart's "O'Neill, WASH
ington." Mr.. Hart will travel this
week with the Robson company as Mr..
Robson's guest, and during this journey
the details of the ney play will be dis
cussed by them.

ten Carriers SUSPENDED
Charged with Drinking and Lettering
While on Duty.
SHADONED By DETECTIVES
Suspicion That Carriers Had Falsificd
Their over Time" Returns Was
Not Proven Postmaster Vandling
Intercedcs for Five OF Them.

Over the ordered suspension of ten
mail carriers, Postmaster Nandling is
now engaged in a mild controversy
with the postotilce department. The
order, for suspension was based upon q
report of secret service detectives.
Four of the carriers are charged with
drinking while on duty, five with drink
ing while in uniform but not on duty.
and one with lettering. The main rea-
son for the sending Of secret service
men to Scranton was the numerous
"over time" items filed by the car
rers. 1t was suspicioned that they
had falsified
Beginning with last July, when the
S-hour law went into effect, numerous
charges for "over time" began to be
filed by the carriers. Postmaster Wand
ling was asked by the department If he
was certain that the items were correct.
He answered atlirmatively and eX-
planned that the territory was 50 large
compared with the carrier force that
it was extremely difficult to make
usual deliveries and collections within
the prescribed time.
Overtime Charges Continued.
Later it was found necessary to re-
duce the deliveries and collections to
once a day in certain sections of the
city.
Charges for "over time" however,
continued to be filed, and when Post
master Vandling was in Washington
last January he was told that secret
service detectives would be sent here
at an unknown time to investigate the
matter.
While Mr.. Vandling knew that the de-
tectives might be here at any time, his
first intimation that they had been here
was when he received the order for
suspension.
The four men charged with drinking
while on duty are ordered suspended
for thirty days, the five charged with
drinking while in uniform are ordered
suspended for ten days and 15-day
suspension is ordered for the carrier
charged with lettering.
Mr.. Vandling says the official depart
ment regulations do not contain a rule
prohibiting drinking while in uniform
if the carrier is not on duty, and that
the men so charged claim they drank
only one glass of beer on each occa-
sion.
Was Waiting for a Car.
The carrier charged with lettering
has proved that on the occasion speci-
fed he was waiting for a Green Ridge
car. These facts have been communi-
Gated to Washington and a withdrawal
asked of the suspensions ordered in the
last six cases. A reply is expected to-
morrow.
The ordered suspensions on the first
charge will be put in force at once.
Three substitutes will take the places in
sequence of as many suspended carriers
until all the suspensions have been en-
forced. The suspended carriers will not

Few of the reasons why we
are able to sell goods so much
below the usual prices as we
are doing:
1St....We sell for cash.
2d....We sell all our goods in the
store, not by the expensive way
of taking orders from house to
house.
3d....Handling so many goods We can
do it at much smaller percent
age than where only halt the
quantity is sold.
4th...-We buy from the manufacturer
or importer, not from the jObber,
thereby saving one profit.
5th....We have no rent to pay for
house, barn or store, cOnse-
quently can afford to work cheap.
6th....Doing quite a large wholesale
as well as retail business we
can do it at lower rates than a
house doing either branch eX'
clusively.
7th....And principally because we are
naturally inclined to make very
low rates, depending on the iudg.
ment Of the purchasing public
to appreciate good goods and low
prices to move the goods quickly.
