MIR. HART'S LATEST PLAY.
1t Received Warm Welcome at Academy
of Music Last Night.


"O'Neill, Washington, d. c." Dan
l.. Hart's latest play, was received with
much favor at the Academy of Music
last night. II is the best bit of writing
for the stage that Mr.. Hart has done,
and gives promise of even better plays
in the future.
Tho first act is trifle slow with pos
sibly two much philosophical soliloquiZ-
ing to suit the average theater goer.
There is more action in the second act,
up to. The third and last act is also
very strong and it is seen that the slow
first act was simply trick of the play
writer to have the interest and action
progress as the plot was unravelled.
Into the play Mr.. Hart has put lines
that show his versatility and rich vein
of humor. One moment pathoS causes
the unbidden tear to well up in the eye
and then quick and sudden comes the
shaft of wit or satire, the apt repartee
or odd turn of a phrase that immediate
ly affects the risibilities.
Mr.. Hart is fortunate in having the
hero of his play Robert O'Neill, u
Washington inventor, assumed by Dan
iel Sully, whose characterization Is
marked by naturalness and fervor. The
remainder Of the cast Is not up to Mr..
Sullys standard, and Mr. Harts play
suffered in consequence.
At the close of the second act Mr..
Sully was called before the curtain. He
said that Mr. Hart had written a very
pretty play; the best he had ever had.
The day was coming, he said, when Mr..
Hart would write a great play that
would give rank among American dra-
matte authors.
Then there was an enthusiastic call
for the author, who was in the audi
ence, and in response Mr.. Hart APP
peared before the footlights and made
a very happy speech. He said that he
wrote the play to fit Mr.. Sully, who, Oft
| the stage, was the same wholesouled
gentleman that Robert O'Neill is repre-
serted to be. All his life he had a
| wild ambition to write an Irish drama
| that would not revel in red whiskers
clay pipes and lordly villains. He had
! endeavored in "ONeill, Washington
| ID. c." to give the Irishman of the fire
side, not the John Kernel of the gut
ter.
The play will be produced tonight and
| tomorrow night at Mr.. Hart's home
WilkeS-Barre.

ALDERMAN POST REVERSED.
lie Should Have Accepted Proof of Prior
Conviction When the Phelps Case Was
Hard

COnNlctlOn Nncn tnc PhcIpS SuSS was
Heard.
After hearing arguments for and
against the reversal of the Judgment of
Alderman Post in the case of the COM
monwealth against Druggist John II.
Phelps, Judge Edwards handed down
an opinion yesterday morning revers-
ing the ruling of the alderman.
On Sunday, May 20, Druggist Phelps
had his place of business open and
transacted worldly sales in violation of
the laws of Pennsylvania under the act
of April 90 1894 At the instance Of
Rev. f. A. Dony Mr. Phelps was
brought before Alderman Post and
fined 81 and costs. At the hearing an
offer was made to prove that Mr.
Phelps had already appeared before
Alderman Fitzsimmons and lodged in
formation against himself, paying the
fine.
Alderman Post refused to accept the
transcript from the docket of Alderman
FitZsimmons as a proof of prior con-
victon. This is one reason why Judge
Edwards ordered judgment reversed,
another reason is that the information
and warrant in the proceedings before
Alderman Post did not specify that the
offense was committed in Lackawanna
county. On these two grounds Judge
Edwards ordered the proceedings re-
yersed.

we'll known as one of the most compe-
tent physical instructors in this part
of the country.
The old idea of gymnastic instructor
made him man of Drawn and muscle

much of symmetry and grace and the
best methods to bring such conditions
about. Physical Director Weston bears
the same relation to the gymnasium
that a Scranton physician does to a
drug store. In the gymnasium are
machines and appliances to increase
the girth of the chest, lift the dropping
shoulders, straighten the back and
make vigorous and strong any special

days the fundamental principle OF
physical culture Is to make mans
body as perfect as possible; this idea
has gained such favor among athletic
clubs throughout the country that the
old principles exist only in name.
Probably no organization in exist
ence today has done more to encourage
the new order of gymnastics than the
Young Mems Christian association, and
in Scranton particularly during the last
few years has the association done a
world of good toward making men
strong and well. There are in the city

ness men and clerks who owe their

ceived in the Scranton gym" Many
