ROBIN HOOD WELL SUNG.
Was Heard at the Academy Of Music
saturday Night.

Was Heard at the Academy Of Music
saturday night
"Eobin Hood" has been sung many
times in Scranton. but never before by
company of such general excellence
us the BostonianS who produced De
Koven and Smiths tuneful and pic
turcsQue opera at the Academy of
Music Saturday night.
A large and fashionable audience was
present and perhaps the best tribute
to the favor with which the opera
was received was the spontaniety of the
warm applause that hubbled forth as
freely in the pit as the gallery. For
once all parts Of the house We're of one
accord in paying tribute to the artists.
Before the first half Of the first act
was over nearly all Of the critical cold
ness Of the audience had fled and
many who came solely to play the critic,
determined not to evlnCc approval un-
til approval was earned. simply leaned
back a little deeper in their seats and
gave themselves M utterly to the en-
joyment of the hour.
All of the solos, Duets and quartetts
We're rapturously applauded and al
most without exception had to be re-
pcated. When the curtain went down
after the scene in Sherwood forest q
storm of applause swept over the house
that was not stilled until the curtain
was raised disclosing Barnabee and his
companions bowing their thanks.
The sheriff of Nottingham was of
course Henry Clay Barnabee, who has
rightly been termed the dean of comic
opera comedians. He sang well and
his efforts as q comedian We're untaint-
ed by the buifoonery that is an insep-
arabic part of the work of many of the
comedians of today. Frank V. Pollock
was a graceful Robin Hood and his
fine voice won many encores during
the evening. Charles r. Hawley, Eu-
gene Cowles and George rockingham
also came In for a good share of the
applause so unstintingly showered on
the members of the company.
Helen Bertram Henley made pretty,
winsome Maid Marion. She has clear,
sympathetic voice that is admirably
adapted to the music of the opera.
Every number sung by her was rap
turously applauded and the same was
frue of Jessie Bartlett Davis, one of
| the best known members of the Bos-
tonians who essayed the role of AL
| lan-a-Dale. Alice Nelson made most
| favorable impression as Annabel

ANTI-TREATING QUESTION.

they entertained the delegates.
ANTI-TREATING QUESTION.
NJ. p. Judge. OF the South Side, sug-
yested that the delegates be instruct
ed to present to their respective So
cieties for debate the anti-treating
question. His suggestion met with ap-
probation and the delegates were so
instructed. They will report at the next
convention on the result.
James F. Judge, as chairman of the
committee on honorary membership.
reported favorably on having cards
printed for distribution among the So
cieties, .he nature of the card being
that any member can hand il to
friend who does not belong to any tenn
perance organization; that friend may
sign his name agreeing TO abstain from
Intoxicating liquor. and If he does he
becomes an honorary member of the
society where he lives. 1t was ordered
that 1000 of these cards be printed inn
mediately.
At O'Clock Il bountiful repast was
served to the delegates by Father
Whitty's society in their banqueting
room on the second floor. The hospi-
tality of the entertaining society was
commented upon in most praiseworthy

on the platform was brief. but he treat
ed his hearers to a magnificent express
sion of the temperance question. The
breastplate of those engaged in the
cause of temperance Is faith and char.
ity Where to draw the dividing line
between temperance and intemperance,
Sobriety and drunkenness. Is the ques-
tion. How to be charitable to one and
save the other Is the line. The tenn
perance question is the cause Of one
OF the first heresies that sprung up in
the church. The Mohammedans, the
Islamites the world over. believed that
wine sprung from the earth and the
devil. st. John Chrysostom says that
wine. being the creature of God. Is
good: but drunkenness, the creature of
the devil. is evil. Wine is used that
we may be delighted, not to be dis

use it i'll Is a reproach.
1t Is hard to draw the line. Accord
ing to the social customs In vogue the
young men who go to the wineroom
soon exceed the tonic state and by the
free use Of wine they lose their rea-
son. st. Chrysostom says that the life
which is shortened by wine is in dan
ger of a threefold death. First, there
is the loss of the mind. the essential
quality of man. Second, there Is the
loss of grace in his soul; this is the
stage that Is called an animated death
The third death is the one where the
temperance cause alone remains to save
him from by assisting him and lifting
him u3. Save aim, If not for his own
sake. for the sake Of his wife and
children, his home and family. upon

IN PENN AVENUE CHURCH.
Pulpit Was Occupied by Rev. DR.. c. +.
Biting of Philadelphia.

Rev. DIR. G. c. Biting, of Philadel-
phia, preached in the Penn Avenue
Baptist church yesterday morning and
evening. He has not been recently as
sociated with any particular church of
the Baptist denomination, but has been
identified with the church's publication
interests.
Or. Btting's morning discourse was
from the text, This day shall I be
glorifed." His argument was that
glorifcation came only through suffer-
Ing and hardship, and that one who
glories in the ease with which Gods
benefits may be received may be dis
appointed in receiving them. The
Easter music was repeated by the
choir,

Prof. Ball, the astronomer royal of
ireland, and one Of the most popular
astronomical writer's in Great Brit
DIN, has just finished a curious calcu-
lation to the distance to the nearest of
the fixed stars" The calculation was
inspired by visit to one of the great
Lancashire thread factories. The super
intendsnt Of one Ct The factories in,
spected by the astronomer informed
the star gazer that the combined out
put of the various Lancashire thread
factories was 155.000,000 miles of
thread per day! Those figures were
certainly enough to astonish anyone,
unless it should be an astronomer.
Prof. Ball has long since passed the
point where he expresses surprise at q
string of figures which represent even
billions of miles. Instead Of falling
stunned at the thread mans feet, no
paralyzed the manufacturer of cotton
filaments by telling him that IT all tho
factories in Lancashire should work
day and night producing $4,000, 900
miles Of thread every twelve hours, it
would take them 200 years to spin .
thread long enough to reach from tho
earth to the nearest of the fixed stArsl
