ADJUSTMENTS.

This evening brings to the FrOthing
ham that charming actress Margaret
Fuller who so cleverly captured a
Scranton audience on former Occa-
sion this season. Miss Fuller, while
scarcely more than a girl in years, is
possessed of high ideals and over
whelmng ambition,and adding to these
the uniform excellence of her acting
and really remarkable beauty, she is
sure to push herself to the front. Miss
Fuller does not come of theatrical
stock, the only member of her family
upon the stage being the daughter of
her great uncle, Chief Justice Fuller
of the supreme court. At her second
engagement in the city tonight Miss
Fuller will offer THE Princess of Bag
dad the vehicle that carried the Ital-
ian actress. Eleanor Duse, to fame, for
it was while playing the princess Of
Bagdad" at Venice that Dumas. over
come by her superb acting, changed
the end for her and in the preface of the
last edition of his plays, regretted that
this 'unsurpassed' actress was not
French.
Rumor says that John Philip Sousa
and Charles Klein's new comic opera
'El-Capitan." has scored a great sue
cess in New York. Brooklyn, Philadel-
nnla, fOStOn ana Otnef large cities ana
that it is nightly testing in the cap
acity Of the largest theaters wherever
presented. The production from all
accounts is a most gorgeous one and
the stage settings. costumes. draperies
and effects are the finest seen i'm comic
opera for years. The music is Just the
kind and character that Mr. SOusa
would be expected to write. as it is
lively. ripping. and melodic. and ma
jor norticn of it is written in march
tempo. which gives "El-Capitan," a
unique position among modern comic
operas for the graceful. undulating
waltz movement so prevalent in recent
comic onera productions, has almost If
not entirely ignored in favor of the
spriGhtly. inspiriting two step. and It
is said that "El-Capitan's'' score is
brimful of this character of melody and
the kind that is apt to set the feet in
rapid and spirited motion. Mr.. Hopper
as "El-Capitan." has never been given
such splendid chances heretofore by
author or composer. and the many who
witnessed his initial presentation of
this character in the large cities. and
who have seen him in former roles
assert that he has not only found II
part that admirably fits his mimetc
talents but also that he secured another
great winner. "El-Capitan'' will be
given its premier presentation in this
city on tomorrow evening at the Froth-
CHAM.

Editor of The Tribune.
Sir:-4As | am appointed by the president
of the Lutheran conference, Rev. l.. Lin
denstruth. to preach to the Polanders of
this town (MaZuren) the GOsuel in their
own language, to bring them, by teaching
the language of the country, to higher
standard Of culture, and make them fam
ilar with our habits. so | will do my best
in this line. Still | cannot perform this
work efficiently without sympathy and
help of Christian fellowcitiZens. The
member of the mentioned GermanPollsh
congregation of Providence, consists most
ly of coal miners who have neither home
ship of God. They are poor, but they have
an immortal soul and can be transformed
in congenial felowcitiZens. | need an
organ to lead the songs in the service and
to teach them to sing in the choir.
Are there not Christian souls in our
large town who will be prompted by the
loving kindness to donate us an old organ
or sell for Il charitable price? Who will be
the merciful Samaritan:
What is a Christian? An American
Christian who does not love his neiG hboI
as himself, does not try to bring the Cos
pei to his neighbors of foreign birth and
foreign tongue. who aid you in your Ia
bors, contribute also to the welfare of
our country, although they don't speak
our language.
May God bless the reader that my heart
felt-submitte1 appeal may not be in vain
Yours in the Lord,
