a Play rhat Pays.

Monday night at the Vogt opera house
King Laughter will inaugurate his
merry rule, for comedy of the brightest
and breeziest kind will be offered in the
play rSam'l of Posen." in which the
celebrated comedian, M. B. Curtis, will
be the bright particular star. 1t must
be quite grind to even as conscien-
tious and capable an actor as is Mr..
Curtis, to appear In one play night after
night during period of seventeen con-
secutive years and speak the came dia-
logue, go through the same comical
grimaces, perform the same gesturee.
and burst into hilarious enjoyments of
certain stage situations. It must in
that length of time become more or less
distasteful to him.. After the first year
or so all the novelty must wear off, and
the hard, never-changing duties, it
would seem, would become quite uncon-

enraptured with the role he porJrays,
and this rapture given an especially
pleasing seasoning on. account of by APP
pearing in such role it is the means of

A New roe to American trees.


Specimens of a strange caterpillar
discovered this spring on pear trees in
Cambridge, Mass, are pronounced by
Prof. Samuel Henshaw to be the gold
tail" or euproctis chrysorrhoea. hither-
to unknown as an inhabitant of this
country, although it is found locally
in England, and is abundant in central
and southern Europe" When numer-
Gus, these caterpiliars are very de-
structive, feeding on such trees and
plants as the apple, pear, plum, haw-
thorn, bramble, elm, willow, beech,
oak, hazelnut and hornbeam. At pres
ent the invaders ir Massachusetts are
said to be confined to limited area in
SomerviIle and Cambridge. The first
specimens seem to have made their
appearance a year ago, and thus far
they have confined themselves to pear
and apple trees. How they got across
the ocean nobody apparently knows.

ALMOST A TRAGEDY.
Reckless Discharging Of a Revolver 10
the Hands Of a Young Man
Named Rittenhouse.

Yesterday afternoon between and
5 o'clock, Benjamin ID. Beddoe. Of 1417
Lafayette street was sitting on q
chair in the basement of his residence,
between the door and window. Sud
denly a breaking of glass was heard,
and he called to his niece to ascertain
the cause of the alarm. The old gentle
man is quite deaf, and was unaware
that the window pane alongside of
him had been broken. Upon investi-
CATION it was discovered that ball
from a revolver had passed through
the window scattering the broken
glass in every direction. Some of the
pieces were found fifteen feet away
from the window, but no trace of the
ball could be found. 1t was a most
miraculous escape for Mr.. Beddoe, as
he usually sits in front of the window,
when resting himself.
Had any one entered a few minutes
before the shot was fired, in all prob
ability Mr.. Beddoe would have moved
towards the window and been in pos
ition to receive the contents of the
revolver in the head, as the pane of
glass broken in the frame was on line
with his head.
A diligent investigation was made
throughout the neighborhood at the
time. but no trace of the guilty parties
could be found although several per-
sons in the immediate vicinity heard
several similar reports about that
time. The shock greatly alarmed Mr..
Beddoe, who is nearly % years of age,
and the family were much exercised
over such careless handling Of firearms
in the neighborhood. which is thickly
populated.
The matter was reported to Lieuten-
ant Thomas Williams, of the West
Scranton police precinct, and an effort
was made to bring the guilty one to
account for such reckless discharg-
ing of a gun at such a time and place.
Diligent inquiry was last evening
made and it was learned that a son of
Marketman Rittenhouse, of North
Main avenue, was the culprit. Mr.. Rit-
tenhCuse rents a barn in the vicinity
of Mr.. Beddoe's home, and the boy
found an old revolver on the premises
and amused himself by discharging 1t,
little thinking that the bullets would
do any damage.
Richard Nichols. the tailor, son-in-
law of Mr.. Beddoe. and Lieutenant
Williams went to the store of Mr.. Rit-
tenhouse and an adjustment of the
trouble was made by the father agree
ing to pay for all damage done. The
boy was thoroughly frightened over
the matter and will undoubtedly be
more cautious in the future in the dis
charge of firearms.
