famous actress of that name from alb

in power and influence to the KIM OF
England himself. The play deals chief.
ly with the attempt of the lord chief
justice of England, Lord Jeffreys, to
crafty personal malice against Sir
Roger Fairfax, the friend of Nell
Gwynne, for an alleged Offense against

Nell Gwynne, whose wit proved more
than a match for the chief justice, Sir
Roger would have gone to the block,
but she saves him. thus repaying early
kindness to her father and herself. A
feature sure to appeal to the ladies will
be the beautiful costumes and hats
worn by the feminine portion of the
company. Wednesday evening the bill
will be Josephine"

ner's new play, has proved so great a
success. that he will make 1t his piece
de resistance this season, and 1t Is this
play which this favorite actor will pre-
sent at the Academy Of Music next

most romantic and the situations and
climaxes are described as being strong
and exceedingly dramatic. The en-
gagement of Otis Skinner Is a very i'm
portant theatrical event.

very clever people in the company.
Richie Eoy, Fred Wilson and Frank
Latona are a great trio of merry-mak-
ers and keep the audience convulsing
from start to finish.
Wilson gives an accurate and anus
ing ~impersonation Of an Irish woman
and the performance of Latona on a
one-stringed violin was marvellous.
Among the ladies of the company Annie
Whitney created the most favorable
impression. She possesses a sweet
voice and sang several numbers with
splendid effect. The dancing and loud
efforts of Lille Vedder to amuse might
be toned down with advantage to the
performance. 1t is not In harmony
with the work Of the other members Of
the company.

Manley and ordered sent to the Hillside
Home.
The police thought they were well rid
of her last week when she was sent to
Pittston, where she could be cared for
by her sister, Mrs. William Wagner.
But Susan liked not the Quietude of the
new city and determined to come back
to Scranton and it's excitement.
Her sister did not want to let her go,
but Susan swore that If she was not
provided with money for her Journey
she would steal it. T~hereupon Mrs.
Wagner gave Susan her fare and saw
her to the train. Mr.. Wagner followed
them up and also took the train to
Scranton. Arriving here he had his
bothersome sister-in-law arrested and
examined. She will be taken to Hillside
Home to-day.
The poor authorities of Pittston on
Friday last directed our poor board to
come after her, so at all events she was
destined for the Home.

A team of horses attached to Of
the heavy milk wagons of the Scranton
Dairy company became frightened on
Linden street yesterday afternoon and
started toward the bridge at a terrific
speed. The horse and carriage of II. H.
Campbell was standing in front Of his
store, PA Linden street, when the
horses came rushing along. The wagon
swayed and crashed into the carriage,
breaking 1t and throwing the wreck and
Campbells horse onto the sidewalk.
Down the street the horses contin-
ued until they reached the corner of
Franklin avenue, where the wagon col
lided with a telegraph pole containing
fire alarm box Nc. 90. So violent was
the impact that the wagon was reduced
to a wreck, the pole splintered and the
fire alarm box destroyed.
Freed of the wagon, the horses con-
tinued on their mad career until they
reached the bridge, where they were
stopped without causing further dam
age.

BIG CARPET CONTRACT.
It Has Been Awarded to Williams and
McAnulfY.

Williams & McAnulty have been
awarded the contract by Fred 8. God
frey for supplying the carpets and cur
tains for the new Hotel Jermyn. 1t
is the largest order ever placed with
a carpet house in Pennsylvania out
side of the city Of Philadelphia, and
the fact that a Scranton firm was able
to successfully compete with all Corners
on an order Of such magnitude is the
best possible evidence that Scranton
business men raj not be out done by
their rivals in other cities.
The carpets will be the best Wilkins

turing them has already begun. As
rapidly as manufactured they will be
cut and sewed in Williams q Nc

AFTER the holiday recess Congress is on the grind again. Public in terest turns to the Senate just now to see if it is really intended to de feat the income tax law by refusing the necessary appropriation to ex- ecute it. Senator Iiib 1t is said, has combined with Quay and other Republicans to do this, even if it can be done only by obstrueting a vote on every appropriation. This would entail an extra session, as well as many other undesirable consequences. It just looks as though our Congress wants to do nothing else than not to do what the people want.
