"THE POLITICIAN"
Presented at the Opera House to an Appre-
ciative Audience.

A large and cultured audience wit
messed the first production in this city
OF the new satirical comedy, The Poll
tcian." at the Opera House last night.
The piece is cleE erly constructed, and
in the hands of such excellent players,
could not have failed of making pro-
nounced hit" The audience accord
ed Mr.. Reed a splendid reception. The
entire company received curtain call
at the end OF the third act, and Mr..
Reed was compelled to voice his
thanks. This he did in a happy man
ner. also taking occasion to tell two or
three stories in his inimitable style.
The comedy is a satire on modern
politics with an interesting love story
running through it. Mr. Reed imper-
sonated General Josiah Limber,' an
up-to-date politician, and kept the
audience CONFUSED with laughter. He
is peculiarly fitted for the character.
The beautiful and, talented lsadore
Rush appeared as Cleopatra a
twentieth century woman, and made
the most OF her many opportunities.
In the cast we're such well known
comedians as Jeanette Lowry, Mary
MYERS. James Douglas, Julian Reed,
John II. Bunny, Charles Hal.ock, w.
r. Bernard and Sheridan Upper.

the matinee to-day and again this eve

Last Night-Other Sport
ing Matters.

Messrs. Barrow and White, of the
Wheeling team, met Messrs. Jolly and
Wright yesterday and although the
contracts have not yet been signed,
there is no serious hitch. The base
ball people want a switch to the
grounds in order that the company
can have enough cars present to ac-
cCmmodate the crowds after The games
are over. This matter was taken I'M
der consideration and will be settled
to-day.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Barrow
called upon a well known architect
and had several rough draughts pre-
pared in accordance with his ideas.
The grounds are in a corn field, and
will have to be plowed and rolled be-
fore the diamond is marked off. The
grand stand will be located in the
southeast corner of the grounds, the
ladies grand stand west of it. and the
bleachers TO the north. The grand
stand alone will have a seating capac-
ity of / 800 persons.
Mr.. Barrow left for Pittsburg last
night and Will return on Monday. MI.
White stated that a number of his
players are now practicing, and will
be in good shape for the exhibition
games. 1t is the intention to let the
contract for enclosing the grounds and
erecting the stand some time during
the early part of next week.
The season tickets, which will en-
title the bearer TO admission to all
championship games, will be offered
for sale about the middle Of next week
They will have ffty-six coupons, and
the charge will be but ten dollars.
Three names of persons desiring sea-
son tickets have already been handed
in at the Register Office.

THE GAS WORKS SWITCH.
AN EXHAUSTIVE STUDY OF
THE PROBLEM, Yesterday
a Feeling that 1t Would Be a Cost
" job, and Would Save Little
or No Money to the Works.

The Council Committee on Rail
roads and the Board OF Gas Trustees
devoted a large amount Of time, yes
terday. to a study of the problem OF
how to get a railroad switch into the
city gas works, and to figuring out
Just how valuable it would be after it
was In.
Two Joint sessions of the bodies
named were held at the City Han.
and a visit was paid to the gas works
and vicinity. where the ground was
gone over with Engineer ShroI, City
Solicitor BOyce and General Manager
Taussig, of the Terminal Company.
When the Terminal Railway fran
chise was granted the Company
agreed TO lay down a switch into the
gas works whenever the city should
ask for one. and ON the map made
part of the ordinance for the lines
north of the creek, in East Wheeling,
a switch is shown. entering the gas
works property from the South, pass
inc between the bic tank and the OF
fee building. crossing Nineteenth
street. and entering the main yard OF
the works, on the north side OF the
street. by the west safe. This line is
entirely practicable, If laid down on
the grade OF Nineteenth street, but
the Gas Trustees want the railway
elevated sufficiently 10 enable coal
cars TO be dumped instead OF iabori-
Ouslv emptied by shOyeis, and 20 set
this elevation the track would have
to cross Nineteenth street at height
of about twelve feet above grade.
This would make the grade OF the
switch too steep % permit the line
laid down on the map being followed.
and it is probable The switch would
have to start as far west as the foot
of Chapline street, run east TO The rear
OF the brick gas works ONCE building
on the south side of Sixteenth street
and there cross ,he street at the de-
sired elevation This would natur-
ally cost considerable money, and be-
sides would very likely shut out ac-
cess 20 the Terminal tracks AT the
foot Of EOd street by wagon.
Another plan suggested was TO sJa
a switch at the east side of Chaplin
street. and run it at the grade OF u.

AS to Interpreters.

'The Scranton grand jury that
recommended an official court interpre-
ter at a good salary displayed good
common sense" observes the Wilkes
Barre Record. THE courts of various
counties are infested with a gang of
alleged interpreters upon whom little
or no dependence can be placed when
it conflicts with their interests. These
men, possessing more intelligence than
the average foreigner, use it to stir up
strife and promote litigation. In this
way ignorant Huns, Poles and others
are dragged into the courts on trivial
and often baseless charges. Not being
is called in. He is supposed to do his
duty honestly under oath, but there
are so many ways in which an answer
can be interpreted without telling
technical untruth,. that an Interested
interpreter may garble the evidence
and give it direction not warranted
by the facts in the case.
Not long ago the writer was present
at the trial of case before a Wilkes
Barre alderman. The prosecutrix was
a Hungarian woman. She charged g.
countryman with attempting to strike
her with an axe. The alleged offense
was committed more than a year be-
fore the defendant was arrested. An
interpreter was called in and the wo-
man was making out pretty strong
case. The attorney for the defense,
however, suspected that all was not
right and consulted a gentleman pres
eTt who understood the Hungarian
language. Upon cross-examlnaton the
woman admitted that the accused did
not attempt to strike her with the axe;
that she tried to take it away from him
and he held it above his head, out of
reach. When she persisted, he threw
the axe away. Then the attorney ques-
toned the interpreter. and that worthy
confessed that he had advised the
woman to swear out the warrant. Had
not the lawyers suspicious been
aroused, the defendant might have been
convicted AMI sent to jail.
This is only one of many instances
in which the amateur interpreter seeks
to embroil ignorant people in expensive
lawsuits. OF course this does not ap-
ply to the niger courts of this county.
The present court interpreter as far as
we know has done his duty honestly
and faithfully. but there Is horde of
hangers-on who continually stir up dis
sensions among certain classes of peo-
pie in order that their peculiar talents
may be profitably employed. These
fellows are a scandal and disgrace to
any county and should be rooted out
by the authorities. They are flrebrands
setting neighbors at each others
throats, vampires, who, under cover OF
the law, rob their victims of their
money by plunging them into endless
litigation"
