THE GIRL FROM PARIS.
Opens the Season at Lyceum Next
Monday Night.

The recognition of the public's desire
to be amused is perhaps one reason for
the phenomenal success of 1.-THE Girl
From Paris" at the Herald Square
Theater in New York, but the popular
ity of the breezy new musical comedy
also established upon the broad and
firm foundation of intrinsic merit and
novelty.
"The Girl From Paris possesses in
a marked degree all the essential ele-
ments that go to make up the ideal
form of lighter entertainment. 1t will
be the opening attraction at the Ly-
ceum, and will without doubt be greet
ed by a crowded house Monday, eve

HAS SHIFTED ITS POSITION.
Change in the Location of the River
Bed Causes COMPLICATIONS.

Because Of the restlessness of the
Lackawanna river an extremely COM
plicated family law squabble is now
occupying the attention of a board of
arbitrators at the court house.
The litigants are the executors of the
estate of j. w. Peck, deceased, plain
tiffs and c. F. Peck, of Peckville, de-
fendant. The suit is an action in eject
ment to gain possession of lot of land
in Peckville.
The complications which so sorely
puzzle the arbitrators, attorneys and
everybody else connected with the case
grow out of discrepancies in old deeds,
or rather the surveys attached to the
deeds. The surveys, one and all, some
of which date back to 1888, have the
river bank as a station. The river
bank has not been stationary during
these sixty-four years; in fact from the
failure of any two of the surveys to
'o'.cide it would appear that the river

SAID NASTY THINGS IN WELSH.
These Things, Mrs. Richards Says
Injured Her to Extent of $1,000.

Yesterday morning Vosburg & Daw-
son instituted a slander suit for $1,000
damages against John Jehu, OF Wayne
avenue. The plaintiff is Mrs. Eliza
beth Richards. one of Jehu's neigh
bors, who alleges that he called her an
ochre colored canine and senile parcine,
Of the feminine persuasion, in the pres
ence of divers good citizens, in whose
estimation she was thereby lowered.
The alleged slanderous words were
uttered in the Welsh tongue. Those
who heard them. however, it is alleged,
all understood Welsh.

WAGONS HAD TO MOVE.
Produce Sellers Are Wonderins
Where They Will Locate.

Garrett Bogart, superintendent of the
Delaware, Dackawanna and Western
company, yesterday morning compelled
the market wagons to move off the
company grounds on Lackawanna ave-
nue., near the railway station. The
action was brought on by the produce
sellers interfering with the unloading
Of freight from company cars at that
point.
During the past summer season IL
has been the custom to locate the big
wagons at this point, where sales could
be conveniently made.
With this front Of vintage gone, il
is hard to guess where the city market
will be located in the future. The pro-
duce men yesterday, after the expul-
sion, took a stand on the opposite side
of the street.

and Grifiiths, of Libel.

Another defendant was yesterday
dragged into the Davis Telegram libel

allegations against him are similar to
those made against Christian Trauthen,
namely furnishing the alleged false in
formation upon which Correspondent
Griffiths based his article. Damages
in the sum of $1,000 are asked.
1t is also alleged as in the Trauthen
case that Thomas circulated among

hood and among his customers tell

Robbery Notes,

Forster, one OF the men arrested, was,
before the Ontonagon fire, meat cutter
in the shops there and was we'll known.
Ii is supposed that the three robbers
came down the lake by boat and that il
probably would be found tied up some
where in Portage Lake or along the shore.
On Saturday MacNamara came out on
voyage Of discovery and finding a boat
drawn up on the shore without oars.
after considerable exertioD got itinto the
water and pulled il to the Calumet and
Hecla waterworLs on Lake Superior
where it was locked up. Some fishermen
shortly afterward put in an appearance
and cl lined the boat, stating they had
been haying on Anderson's farm and
had left their boat where MacNamara
found il, but on their return it had dis
appeared.
Sheriff Lean received word yesterday
that the scouting party bad lost all track
OF the third man and MacNamara left
again for Ontonagon to see If he could
pick up tie lost trail.

Trains and Winds.

Trainmen say it is not the head on"
wind that delay the cars, as the engine
presents small portion of itself to it,
and, breaking through, the train can DO
easily pulled along after it, but when the
wind strikes the train at an angle Of 45
degrees, the trouble begins. The wind
uses the whole side surface as n leverage
and gives the engineer lots of trouble.
The cars sway over TO one side and are
dragged along with difficulty. The en-
gineers estimate that in going 100 miles
an extra ton of coal is used in very high
wind and even then it is impossible to
keep on schedule time. The wind most
disastrous to travel on the Consolidated
road is that from the northeast. 1t strikes
the trains cornerwise and makes the en-
gines struggle and strain to counterfeit it's
force. This is felt especially in crossing
the Connecticut river, where the wind has
a full sweep, and all the New York trains
are few minutes late when the south
casters are in force. Springfield Repub-

1T WAS HOT STUFF

One of the doctors favorite prescriptions

one half something else. Like many other
country physicians, he dispenses most OF

One day he wished to give some Of it TO
the fisherman but, finding that his pills
were all gone, he took the equivalent pow
ders and packed them into two grain cap
sules. These he handed TO the patient,
With instruction TO take two of them once

A few days later the man hailed him as
he drove by his house. After little chat
