And the success of the Speer ~ j.
Wine Co. in producing strictly pure
Wines and Grape Brandy is marvellous.
None of their wines are fortified with

sale. They rely alone on the grape for
body and flavor. and thence there is a
wide and growing demand for these
goods.
Nothing is finer or richer than their

ADJUSTMENTS,

Hermann the Great. who, since his
last appearance in this part of the
world has astonished and delighted the
people of manv lands will appear in
Scranton next Monday evening at the
Frothingham with a brilliant pro-
gramme of new marvels. His original
oriental production, the Asiatic trunk
mystery, is not only the most profound
and ineXphinable problem, but it is the
most pleasing and picturesque spec
tacle. The new hypnotic wonder,
''Trilby," is one of the greatest of
stage triumphs. The artists dream,
aptly termed magic comedy, is pre-
sented with the most elaborate and
expensive stage settings. 1t is crea-
tion of the most poetical and fantastic
fancy. 1t is great programme. One
of the most brilliant parts is furnished
by Adelaide Hermann, who has given
to the world a new art. Her marvellous
spectacular dances, L'Etoile de Mutt
La Dance de Vesuvius. lie Ranyon du
Soliel, and the Lily of the Orient, have
presented new and startling possibil-
tiles in the combination of color and

study of the subject has led me to take
the opposite view, viz, that all strikes
of skilled workmen are, in the end, harm
full to the participants. No one single
cause has done more, in my opinion, to
hasten the introduction of entirely auto
matte machinery in operationSWhere a
certain degree of skilled labor was con-
sidered Indispensable, than strikes on
the part of such skilled employees. Num-
erous instances might be recalled where
large manufacturers have, on account
of strikes cheerfully expended immense
sums of money in perfecting automatic
machinery, not primarily to effect econ
omy in wages, but as an insurance
against future danger from such causes.

themselves with casting Scornful
glances at the interloper. In the midst
of enjoying ice-cream soda, for which
refreshment the pair had rushed be-
tween dances to a neighboring drug
store, Smythies asked Nell if she cared
for fishing. The girl answered him that
it was at present her great ambition in
life to land a yellowtail with rod and

do so the next morning, if Mrs. Biglow's s

Anchoring some two hundred feet
from the busy and noisy fleet of macker-

young woman some few lessons, which
seemed to her quite superfluous, as to the
use of the reel. Then selecting SHIN

alarms and frequent declarations of

her that this sort Of fish did not go in
