to take delight in seeing Miss Lillian
Kennedy and her excellent company pro

Her portrayal was excellent, and from her
first appearance upon the stage the audi

tanned. The support rendered her by the
members of the company was very good,
and many times during the presentation
of this amusing play, the audience was
filed with joy and laughter. The stage
sittings scenery, etc, were features which
added to the interest of the entertainment.
Tho plot was simple, yet of such nature
as to hold the closest of attention.

in Old Kentucky"

Sin Old Kentucky which appears at
the Opera house, Saturday evening is
one Of the few American plays that
has achieved great financial success. Bet
ter than any of the so-called Southern
plays, it promises TO enurc for several
years. The story, while Astounding in
stirring an sensational SENSE is roman
tic and idylic by turns and is told with
dircctncss of purpose and swiftncss of
action rarely found in plays of its kind.
1t does not depend for consideration
upon some ingenious scenic device or
sensational horror. The incidents and
strong climaXcs are led up to gradually
and logically and arc q part of the story.
Pure sentiment, valorous deeds, romance,
humor, splendid clcan-cut comedy are
combined with keen dram attic instinct.
The characters are drawn with skill The
strength Of the play, or more properly
speaking, the secret of its great popular
ity is ascribcd to the vigorous and uncon-
ventional manner in which the author
has handled his material It's healthful
tone makes it welcome Its extraordinary
1un at the Boston Theatre just closed to
crowded houses give it an endorsement
which is the lot of very few plays to re
ceive. 1t is not No. . company which
will appear hero but the original COM
pany which made the great Boston hit.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

The Democratic ticket of the borough
is one that should be supported by the
party, not only because Democrats are
on it, but because the candidates are
iirst-class men, qualified for the offices
they seek, and are broad-minded and
liberal, just the class of people who
should have charge of municipal affairs.
Foster Democrats are not dismayed BY
the big odds against them. and the Off
ccs were in as great demand last night
as ever. There Is a lot of the old fight
ing spirit in the township yet, and with
dissatisfied opposition the men nomin-
ated will make it an interesting contest.
There is some talk of an independent
Republican ticket in Foster township.
The revolt there is growing stronger
daily.
The Democratic candidates of the bor-
ough will meet ut 730 o'clock this even
ing at the hotel of Peter Timony to
make arrangements for the campaign.
The Democratic nominee for poor d-
rector is Percy Faust. publisher of the
Weatherly Herald. Mr.. Faust has been
loyal Democrat for many years, and
his nomination ought to be followed by
his election. He will make an excellent
poor director.
A resolution declaring against the pro-
posed division of Luzerne county was
approved by the delegates attending the
Democratic borough convention 1t does
not represent the feeling here, and an
injustice was done the candidates by
making the new county question par
tiSan one at this time.

The City Held Liable.
From the Wilkes Rarre Record.

From the Wilkes Barre Record,
The jury in the case of Thomas Fry
against the city Of Wilkes-Barre came in
with u verdict of $l,5OO damages in fa-
vor of Mr.. Fry. This is the second time
the suit has been tried, the jury in the
first case having awarded 50, 500 dam
ages for Mrs. Fry. 1t seems that on
Christmas Eve 1889, Mr. and Mrs. Fry
were going down Carey avenue While
passing the property of Elihu Williams
Mrs. Fry caught her foot in defect in
the sidewalk and was thrown down, re-
ceiving severe injuries which have be-
come permanent.
Mrs. Fry brought suit in May, 1893,
and recovered damages as stated above.
The suit just decided was brought by
MIR. Fry to recover damages for the loss
of his wifes services, she being unable
to do any work. 1t is now thought that
the city will sue Mr.. Williams for the
total amount awarded in the two cases.
"a, 900, as it is claimed he had been noti-
fled to repair his walk previously.

A Social Event.

One of the most pleasant events OF the
season occurred at the home of d. O.
Krommes, Butler, in honor of his thirty
fifth birthday, his most estimable wife
took him by surprise. On Saturday
morning sleigh loads, one after another,
began to stop at the door of his quiet
home, and by 10 O'Clock the spacious
rooms were thronged with relatives and
friends, numbering in all about seventy,
who soon relieved him of u number of
turkeys, etc.
Remarks and toasts appropriate to the
occasion Were made by various ones.
The manner in which the guests were
entertained added much interest to the
impromtu of the affair, and it is the
general feeling of all who were fortunate
enough to participate that they may
again enjoy the hospitality of the Krom-
mes mansion.
Mr. Krommes is son-in-law of our
townsman, William Kemp, and is known
as one of the most enterprising and
prosperous citizens of Butler.
Scranton, Wilkes Barre, Hazleton,
Freeland and Butler were well repre-
sented. II.
