COMING ATTRACTIONS.

Margaret Alather will present her
famous Juliet" at the Academy of
Music tomorrow evening. This beau
tiful and enchanting lady brings to the
role Il warm, highiy-developed tennpsr-
ament that is. well suited to portray
poor passionate Juliet. Miss Mather is
by nature a lovely, impetuous woman.
and her balcony scene Is said TO fully
realize the poets conception. Frederic
Paulding is well suited to the role of
Romeo, and Miss Mather's company is
a strong one throughout. In this play
we ind the apotheosis of the love OF
perennial youth. Every line has been
quoted until they seem a natural part
of the vocabulary of lovers. To say a
man is an ideal Romeo or a woman an
ideal Juliet is the highest compliment
we can give in the language of romance.

At the Academy of Music Thursday
evening Saumet's great play "The
Gladiator" will be presented by the dis
tinguished American tragedian, Robert
Downing. Mr.. Downing will be seen as
Nero. the gladiator, a character in
which he probably has no peer, and one
which he has presented over 1000 times.
1t is a part which Mr.. Downing has
made distinctiveiy his own. character
| in which more than any other. perhaps,
! he climbs higher upon the ladder of
dramatic excellence, lifting it often into
the realm of sublimity. THE Gladia-
tor is the role with which his name
Is most closely allied, and II Is the one
| in which the great American public in
| sist with the most persistency on see
| ing him.
The Hanlon Brothers will present
| their famous fairy spectacle "FantaS-
/ h.A Ann +
urday evenings and Saturday matinee.
"Fantasma" is certainly an example of
| the survival of the fittest." 1t has
been constantly before the public for
! twelve years and never fails to attract
large audiences wherever 1t Is an
nounced. The company includes a
number of well known artists In pam
tomine and burlesque headed by that
prince of jolly fellows, George II. Ad-
| ans.
! The performance of Michael Strog-
off, at the rockingham next Saturday
afternoon and evening has been widely
! heralded as one which Is to surpass all
former productions of this drama, even
that of the "Kiralfys," a few years ago
in New York. which seemed to have at
tained an unapproachable prominence
In spectacular display. How extensive
have been the preparations for this
event may he Judged from the fact that
magnificent new costumes, and entirely
new scenery have been made especially
for this grand new revival of Michael
Strogoff' from original drawings.

The two officers will go first to New
Bedford, n. j.. which is Miss Green's
home. After this their movements are
veiled in secrecy. Some interesting sal
walton army data was secured in con-
versation with the soldiers. There are
indications that Ballington Booth. the
old General Booth and Major Watkins,
will be visitors of Scranton during the
coming month of May. All three VIII
come in the interests OF their separa'e
armies. "Old General Booth" as the
Salvatiolists refer to their chief eXecu-
tive harbors the opinion that his son,

THE CASE Is CONTINUED.
Opinion OF Judge huntington in the
dickinson Suit.

In the celebrated case of Anna
Dickinson against Mr.. Thompson and
others of Pittston. Judge Burlington
filed an opinion with Clerk Colborn on
Saturday last refusing the motions
made by Mr. Hodge. the counsel for the
plaintiff. as to abatement of cause of
action and imposition of costs ON de-
PENDANTS and continued the case until
the mex: meeting of the court in this
city.
He says: 1.-The continuance was
through no fault of the defendants and
there is no reason why the costs of the
terms should not in the customary way,
abide the issue of the action. Such
being the case we decline to make any
order as to costs or to compel the de-
PENDANTS to file any stipulations as to
the non abatement of the action in case
of death as requested"

BISHOP RULISON CONFIRMS.

Confirmation exercises We're held in
st. David's church yesterday after
noon. A class of six persons We're con-
frmed by the Rt. Rev. Nilsson $. Ruli
son. bishop of the diocese of Central
Pennsylvania. The service was wit
messed by a large congregation and
the confirmation ceremonies We're most
impressive. The choral portion of the
service was very effectively rendered
by the surpliced choir, under the lead
ership of Thomas Jones. After the class
had been confirmed they Were coun-
selled by the bishop, as to how they
should fulfil their baptismal VOWS,
which they had ratified. The sermon
was delivered by the bishop, his text
being on the following words: Let
your light SO shine before men that
they may see your good works" The
discourse was both eloquent and prac-
tical and very appropriate to the coca
sion. The chancel of st. David's church
has been beautiful by the addition of
new. choir stalls, a new altar and re-
redos The latter is the gift of Charles
w. Blume, who is generous support
er of the church.
