HIS GRACE DE GRAMMONT.
Produced by Otis Skinner and Company
at the Academy of Music.


"His Grace de Grammont," play Of
the romantic school from the pen of
Clyde Fitch, author of Beau Brum-
NELL" was presented at the Academy
of Music last night with Otis Skinner
In the leading role
The theme that Mr.. Fitch discusses
in His Grace de Grammont" admits of
beautiful and striking costumes and
elaborate stage settings, which have
been taken advantage of to the fullest.
The costumer and scenic artist have
done their work admirably.
Mr., Fitch has painted Count de Gram
mont in much more favorable light
than does the historian. The latter
makes him n gallant, a rome, profit
gate whose amours were the scandal
of the courts of England and France,
but withal a person of uneXceptional
manners. The playwright takes up the
thread of the counts career after his
Punishment from the court of Louis
NV, of France, for an unseemly scam
dal at the time when he attaches HIM
self to the court of Charles H., of Eng
land, where he ut once becomes q
great favorite, especially with the la
dies.
He is fitted by Mr. Fitch with noble
nature, the same uneXceptionable man.
ners he in reality possessed, and Is
made capable of loving and winning
the love Of the pure-minded Mistress
| Hamilton, a young woman of great SIM
| plicity and loftiness of character, who
has nothing in common with the gay
| butterflies of fashion who made the
court of Charles III. notable. This love
affair embroils both the count and tha
lady in serious trouble. which furnishes
the real material for the play.
Mr. Skinner is a careful, polished
actor, who speaks his lines with preci-
sion and intelligence. He understands
the niceties of stagecraft and is equally
effective and artistic in the passages
where he employs the natural tone of
voice as when he arises to the dramatic
pitch. The scene at the end of the
| third act was very well done and Mr.
Skinner was given a hearty curtain
call.
Maud Durbin was winsome ana
charming as Mistress Hamilton, but
| speaks her lines in a somewhat emo-
| tional manner. The remainder of the
cast do not approach the standard OF
Mr.. Skinner and Miss Durbin. On ac-
caunt of the disagreeable weather the
| audience was small

Now Is the Time.

The benefit to be derived from a good
medicine In early spring IL undoubted, but
many people neglect taking any until the
approach of warmer weather, when they
wilt like tender flower in hot sun.
Something must be done to purify the
blood, overcome that tired feeling and give
necessary strength. Vacation Is earnestly
longed for but many weeks, perhaps
months, must elapse before rest can be
INDUCED in. To impart strength, and to
give feeling of health and vlgor through
out the system, there is nothing equal TO
Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t seems perfectly
adapted to overcome that prostration
caused by change of season, climate or
life, and while 1t tones and sustains the
system it purihes and renovates the blood.

NOTED ABOUT TOWN.

A story of absent mindedness is told
at the expense of ex-County Treasurer
d. w. Powell, who has just been ap-
pointed to snug berth at Harrisburg.
One night this week Mr.. Powell re-
ceived a message calling him to the
state capital. He left his home on Lin
den street and started for the Della
ware and Hudson station, but so
wrapped was he in thought that he
passed by the handsome new station OF
that company and wended his way to
the dingy old building at the foot of
Bridge street, that for years did SER
vice as the Scranton station of the
Delaware and Hudson company. Not
until he had vainly endeavored to
open the locked doors did it dawn
upon the ex-county treasurer that he
had gone to the wrong place. He re-
traced his footsteps as rapidly as posi-
BILE, and reached the new station just
in time to get aboard the train as it
was leaving.
The amount of energy and conscien-
tious hard work on the part Of Miss
Lila Stewart, of Kingston, N. Y, the
directories, in preparing for the Kir-
mess and arranging the dances entities
her to the utmost consideration and
praise. Her extreme good taste and
equitable disposition under the trying
circumstances and fatigue entailed IN
her work have won for her the friend
ship and esteem of the dancers and 9TH
ers with whom she has been brought
in contact. She has been sorely tried
in her honest endeavor to please every
body, but to her credit 1t Is sufficient to
say that nobody could have done better.
William Connell and his son, James
L. Connell, had arranged to start for
Florida yesterday, but the blizzard in
terfered with their arrangements by
rendering it impossible for them to
leave the city. If the weather permits
they will start today and proceed direct
by limited express to Jacksonville. At
that place they will make up their
Florida itinerary. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Connell and son will remain in
the land of everglades and oranges un-
til about April /.
There were many stiff and sore buSl-
ness and professional men about the
city yesterday who told wonderful
stories of their achievements in the line
of handling the snow shovel and clear
ing acres of sidewalks of the accumu-
| lated snow,

THE OFFICIAL BALLOTS.
Contracts for Printing Them Awarded BY
County commissioners.


The contracts for printing the ballots
for the coming election We're yesterday
awarded by the county commissioners
to The Tribune and Republican The
number to be printed is 72,OOO. This in
cludes specimens and official ballots.
The Republican will print the ballots
for the city of Scranton and receive SIS
per thousand. All ballots for the re-
mainder of the county will be printed
in The Tribune job Office The price
for these will be $21. per thousand.
This increase in price is due to the
fact that there will be many more
changes of the forms necessary per
thousand for the ballots from the coun-
ty districts, as in many of the polling
places but a small number of ballots
will be required.

Monahan Was Not Buried.

Considering the fact that fierce pliz-
zard ragged yesterday morning a good
ly number attended solemn high mass
Of requiem which was celebrated In
st. Patrick's church at o'clock.
Rev. Father Dunno conducted the SER
vices over the remains Of the late
Thomas Monahan, of Eynon street. The
floral offerings were very pretty. I'm
dertaker Wymbs attempted to convey
the remains to the Hyde Park Catholic
cemetery, but when he reached the lane
on North Main avenue which leads to
the cemetery he found it impossible
The snow drifts were from ten to twelve
feet high. AS there was no possible
means of reaching the cemetery the
cortege returned. The casket contain
ing the deceased was placed in Mr.
Wymbs' morgue and will probably be
inferred today.

sidewalk yesterday morning two young
lads, Robert Dawes, of Sumner ave-
nue., and William Burgeroff, of Lincoln

Dawes went to the money drawer and
after making a careful survey of his
surroundings, took change amounting
to about 81. AT this moment Mr..
Decker happened to glance in the store
and caught sight of the young thief. He
promptly captured him. Dawes was
taken to the police station and turned

The Pools of Solomon.

The Pools of Solomon lie on the left OF
the road to Hebron, and al a distance from
Jerusalem of about two hours. Dis
tances in the East are measured by time,
not by miles, as with us. The distance
in question, however, depends consider
ably on the condition Oh the road. When
last journeyed along it, the mud was so
deep we had much difficulty in getting
onward. At one place the horses came 10

The existing building III it's present form
is Saracenlc, without claim to antiquity.
1t consists of four low walls, surmounted
with q come. 1t is much reveranced by
Christians, Jews and Mohamlnedans. 1t
is interesting in its sacred associations,
and is mucn visited by pilgrims. The
spot will ever be regarded with tender
emotion and sympathy. Here it was
that Rachel. the loved wife of Jacob, died
after having given birth to the babe she
named "Benoni," Son of Sorrow. The
