Scrantonians who have seen Tom
Keene in "Richard the Three Times"
will relish the reply of a Chicago critic
to request for his opinion of Keene's
merits. There are those" he says,
who maintain that it would be more
fitting to characterize his efforts in this
direction rather as an execution than as
"a performance. In other words they do
not hesitate to say that he ruthlessly
executes hump-back Dick, which per-
| haps is all that hateful rascal deserved
either in esse or in posse. Yet this
might be considered rather harsh judg-
ment by all who are inclined to look
with n certain degree of Christian char
ity even upon those who misuse Shake
speare. Mr.. Keene has played Richard
| III several thousand times without
missing note or failing to shout at
the proper moment, and an actor who
has done so much as this cannot be re-
| garded with disdain. No man upon the
stage has annihilated more scenery or
devastated more theaters than Tom
Keene. Linking the present with the
| past he preserves for the delectation
and entertainment of the present those
| enthusiastic transforming methods
which have almost disappeaM from
view. Others surpass him in& esse
and in those intellectual gifts on er-
| pretation but no one on the stage can
'holler' louder or limp more profusely.
1t Is plain, therefore. that in estimating
| Mr. Keene's gait, so to speak, as Il
tragic Boanerges it is necessary to take
into account personal preferences.
Those who like noise and dote on en-
ergy can just wait until Tom Keene
come along. He is their persimmon or
seek-no-fa farther.A What he cannot do in
this line can't be done in America, now
that George C. MilnEis no longer with
us. Only the hypercritical are inclined
to deny Mr.. Keene's originality in the
treatment of Richard, and casuits
merely labor in some doubt in regard to
the exact classification of his work.
Some maintain that he performs, Others
that he executes, and still others that
he does Richard III and Shakespeare.

SECRECY IS EXACTED.
Supreme Court Decisions are Carcfnll.
Guarded from Possible Leakage.

According to Walter Wellman, the
United States supreme court adopts the
most rigorous measures to prevent its
decisions leaking out prematurely
Since the decision in the Boyd or Ne
braska governorship case was printed
in the newspapers in advance of it's
handing down from the bench. the most
scrupulous care has been observer TO
prevent a recurrence OF such incidents.

Of the Sensation" TO which Mr.. Tree
alludes, the Chicago Herald says: THE
author and the actor could not have
been more en- rapport with each
other in their creation and de-
lineation, respectively, than are
Henrik Ibsen and H. Beerbohm
Tree in their presentation of the
character of DR.. Thomas Stockmann
in An Enemy of the People 1t is a
character such as could be conceived
only by an Ibsen-a man of answerv-
ing fidelity to his honest convictions,
who, against all odds and all adversities,
stands boldly in array, and who is fear
less in denunciation of the wrongs and
abuses by corrupt officials. He defies
the power of a venal press: he sees his
family, his wife, daughter and sons,
subjected to the humiliations of pow
erty, and himself ruined and ostracized,
but he will not yield an inch nor swerve
from the path of duty he sees marked
out for him. An Enemy of the People
is without doubt the strongest of
Ibsens works. Like his pillars of So
ciety, Ghosts A Dolls House. and

every word, even in the longest
speeches. is directly to the point 1t is
socio-poltical play, and, in spite of
its singularly abrupt ending and the
untheatric act finales, it excited the
deepest interest on the part of the large
audience, which showed its apprecia-
ton of the play and of the artists who
interpreted it by frequent curtain-calls
and enthusiastic applause. The gal
laries were particularly vOciferous in
their approval of the keen, telling
points in Ibsen's work, semi-satirical
and bordering on the epigramatic. AT
the close of the last act, after the
whole company had responded to calls
before the curtain, there were loud
cries for a speech, to which, after a
moments hesitation, Mr.. Tree respond

AN ANGELIC HUSBAND.

There are husbands who are pretty,
There are husbands who are witty,
There are husbands who In public are as
smiling as the morn:
Tere are husbands who are healthy,
There are husbands who are wealthy,
But the real angelic husband-well, he's
never yet been born.
Some for strength of love are noted,
Who are really so devoted
That whene'er their wives are absent they
are lonesome and forlorn;
And now and then you'll find one
Who's n fairly good and kind one,
Yet the real angelic husband-Oh, he's
never yet been born.
So the woman who is mated
To man who Is rated
AS pretty fair should cherish him for
ever and a day.
For the real angelic creature
Perfect, quite, in every feature
Has never been discovered, and he won't
be, so they say.

GLARE, I DECLARE
he Couldn't Manage a Ball Team
and Left With the Clubs Money.

He Couldn't Manage a Ball Team
and Left With the Clubs Money.
All OF the Missionaries returned
from the trip east this morning,
excepting Manager Glare. The lat.
ter left for New York via steamer
Saturday night, after making a
failure as baseball manager.
Clare received a telegram, or at
least he said it was a telegram
which he claimed came from New
York, announcing the death OF his
father.
There seems to be some strange.
ness about his fathers death, for
Glare admitted himself, while here,
that his father died several years
ago.
Fritz Schleuning, of this city,
accompanied the team on the trip
to Galveston and Houston, to look
after the interests of the club. He
returned this morning and relates
a lamentable tale. He says Glare
had $l39 when he left. This was
the clubs money and he should
have turned it over to Schleuning,
but instead he told Schleuning to
attend to his own business, and
that he knew what he was doing,
when he asked about the money.
The players seem to be better
pleased since Glare is gone. They
say they couldn't stand it with
him, for he abused them in every
manner on and off the field with
out any provocation or cause.
Schleuning has had charge Of
the team since Clare left. Jack
Phelan acted as field captain in
the meantime.
Mr.. Jones Irvine, who has worked
hard and faithfully to have San
Antonio represented in the league,
said this morning: "Of course, it
is a mighty hard blow to be done
up thet way at the very beginning,
before the club has made a cent Of
money, and has been playing poor
bali, but that's not going to
cause San Antonio to quit. 1 am
going to get good team for this
city. The people want baseball
here and they will support 1t. 1
am going to begin wedding out the
team at once. I'll attend to MIR.
Glare and see what can be done in
his CASE"
Clare said before leaving that he
will return In twelve days butit is
hardly believed that he will.

Endorses Padre Island Harbor

PHEONINVILLE, Pa, Aug, %, 'S7
Hon. John Willett, New York.
Dear Sir: | have lately seen
plans and specificatiOns of a har-
Dor which is now beingIconstructed
on the Atlantic coast for the Pro-
vince Of Ceara, in Brazil. This
province is only one-fitth of the
size OF the state of Texas, and pro-
badly the harbor will not have one
tenth the amount,of tonnage which
your, harbor will be called upon to
accommodate. The harbor at
Ceara is constructed very similar
to your place.
This harbor will be connected
with only one line ofrailway while
your harbor will have from five to
SIX railways connecting Herewith.
Since examining the plans and
specifications for the harbor now
building at Ceara, am more con-
WINGED that your plan for the har-
Dor in the Gulf of Mexico is per-
fectly correct and practicable and
very economical to execute.
l am yours very truly,
