"OTHELLO'' IN ITALIAN.
The "Teatro Italiano" Opens It's Doors
"A Large First Night Audience.

New York, Nov 13.-The Italian the
atrical season opened last night when
the ''Teatro ItaHanO," at 1O4-1O6 Bow
cry, entered upon it's career with the
production of "OthellO," given by the
Italian Comedy company of A.Maiori,P
RampOne & Co. ''Othello" in the Eng
lish version is not generally regarded
as a comedy.
What it may be in Italian the Ital-
ianS prOba bly, know, and they did not
eVince any undue inclination toward
mirth during last nights performance.
Instead they seemed greatly impressed,
and even to a person who didn't under
stand Italian the cast appeared to be
a competent one It was little short
in the matter of soldiers and attend
ants, but much must not be expected on
a 15x30 foot stage.
Antonio Maori senior member of
the theatrical firm, played the title role
in a manner that won shouts of ap-
prevail from his audience. The effect
of his gestures was somewhat marred
by the fact that he wore black gloves,

meath with startling Wilderness. IagO

of ballots expected by Van Wyck. L

Tammany should have its wigwam
graced with real, living representa-

was brought to this city from San Juan

kind in disposition and will PDe very

The baby tiger arrived today, nicely
Gagged and full of playfulness. Owing
10 the absence OF Mr.. Sheehan from the
city, the animate Tammany emblem
will remain in the custody of the ex-
press people until next Monday, when
Mr.. Sheehan will decide what to do with
him. The general Tammany sentiment
IS that he should have quarters in
Tammany Hall, and be kept on exhi-
bition in the care of a competent train
er. In the meantime, Donald Burns,

been instructed to go to the express Of

SPAIN IS BANKRUPT.
Can't Raise Money to Pay for
Any More War Ships.

London, Nov. 13.-Stril1ing evidence
Of SPANS financial straits is furnished
in the dispatch of the Madrid cores
pondent of the Daily Mail, cabled to
the Associated Press last night, say
ing the Spanish government, finding it
impossible to raise the sum of &3O00.-
600 pounds ($15, 600, OO0) by loan or taxa
ton to carry out its original navy
plans, has decided to build two new
cruisers only of 1000 tons each. The
dispatch added that it is intended to
summon the cOrtes as soon as possible
to vote credits for the building of
more men of war and the placing of
more powerful guns on board the ex-
listing vessels.
It is now pointed out that the cruis-
ers mentioned by the Daily Mail cor
respondent were to have been battle
ships, for whose construction the gov
eminent of Spain negotiated with the
Armstrong; months ago. The con-
tracts were eventually signed and the
l1eels of the new battIeships were laid,
but the Armstrong; refused to pro-
coed without assurances of payment.
Now it is doubtful if Spain will ever
be able to pay for the small and COM
paratively ineffective cruisers which
are intended to replace the projected
battleShipS.

COEUR D'ALENE FORESTS.
Country Once Heavily Timbered Now
Almost Denuded

Wallace. Ida, Nov. 13.-The abandon
ment of the Northern Pacific narrow
gauge line between here and Old Mis-
sion because the timber lands tributary
to it have been denuded of their for
eSts calls attention to the growing
scarcity of the timber in the Occur
d'Alenes. Primarily a heavily timbered
region, it's forests were destroyed be
fore it's mineral wealth was discovered.
Before it was decided to abandon the
narrow gauge, the Northern Pacific
sent a man up the north fork to ascer-
tain the true conditions. He found the
available supply exhausted for forty
miles above the junction of the two
forks. Below there it is all gone as far
up the mountain sides as it can be
reached The superintendent of one
of the largest mines in the Occur
d'Alenes estimates the present con-
sumption by the various mines at l.
430 900 board feet per month Add the
amount for the various uses other than
mining and the total will exceed two
million feet per month with a steady
increase from year to year.
This amount the Occur d'Alenes

USURY AND INTEMPERANcH.
They Were Discussed by Mr.. Will
liams and Rev. DIR. Bird.

About two dozen people, exclusive of
the two speakers, met in the Carter
building last night to hear the debate
ON the question, Resolved That the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
drinks is q greater evil than taking
usury"
In the negative side Mr.. Williams, of
Dunmore, spoke earnestly against loan
associations, which he declared not
only bought the judges, but often also
bought the preachers. He told his lis
tencrs that usury was the great curse
Of the land and the cause Of all the
hard times. Editors and philanthrop-
lists had given up in despair their con-
scicntious efforts to reform the abuse
of illegal money-getting. He was per-
suaded that liquor drinking was not
such a powerful evil as usury In that 1t
did not effect such a mighty combine
ton of forces which oppress the people.
Rev.Mr. Bird then took UP the affirm
ative side of the question. He asserted
that usury has some good features
while the drink habit has not one. The
widow who Is left with few thousand
dollars we'll invested, finds the interest
Of that sum is a great comfort and
strength. She would not say that the
drink habit acquired by her son reeling
across the threshold was in any way
comfort. Scranton's wealth was ac-
auired by payment of interest. The
interest rates are mutual benefit every
time.
Although Mr.. Williams made q
strong plea for his side it was con-
ceded that Mr.. Bird was the victor.

BOY FATALLY INJURED.
He Was Crossing Penn Avenue and
Was Accidently Knocked in Front
Of a Trolley Car.

While attempting to avoid a collision
with a bicycle on Penn avenue yes
terday afternoon at 1.3O o'clock, three
year-old Albert Dennier was thrown
beneath a street car and his right
foot badly crushed. The toes were
severed from the foot. He died from
his injuries at the Lackawanna hospi-
tai at 5.15 o'clock, never recovering con-
sciousness.
The little fellow was playing with
some companions on the sidewalk in
front of C. S. Seamans' grocery store
at 800 Penn avenue, and had run, out
into the street. A Providence car, No.
159, manned by Motorman Enoch
Evans and Conductor William Mean
drew was coming up the street and at
the same moment two young men rode
along on their wheels. Albert tried
to get to the sidewalk and succeeded
in avoiding the first wheel ridden by
S. r. Ward. of Park Place, but ran
directly against the second wheel, rid
den by Harry Stevens, of Green Ridge.
Mr.. Stevens was thrown from his
wheel and the boy rolled back toward
the track with his legs directly beneath
the on-coming car. The fallen wheel
man made futile attempt to pull
the boy away and Motorman Evans
brought the car to stop inside Of
twenty feet. but the little fellows
right foot had been caught and
crushed, the toes being severed.
Neither car nor wheelmen were NOV
ing very fast and the accident hap
pened so suddenly as to be unavoid-
able. The injured boy was picked up
by j. Atlas, who keeps a feed store
opposite and was taken to the hospital.
He is son of M. Dennier
storekeeper at 1886 Penn avenue
and residing at 1927 Penn ave-
nue.. His other injuries consisted OF
small cut near the right temple. and
several confused wounds about his
body.

BEFORE BREAKFAST. !

Scranton isn't adding to what may
be termed an enviable reputation, as
her fame goes abroad DER the nation.
People afar off are already convinced
that the whole town is in continual
danger of tumbling down several hun
dred feet into the mines, while the ru-
mors Of Sunday Christenings, weddings,
funerals, ETC., with the usual accom-
paniments, becomes very CORY indeed
as they travel. Now when the story of
a falling window is heralded abroad,
with the customary eXaggerations,
readers at distant points will be per-
suaded that Scranton is exceedingly
shaky, when the fact is, it is a very
safe city. indeed, for q dwelling place.
There should be some ordinance to re-
strain men from leading horses, unfet-
tered but by halters, behind a wagon.
Pedestrians yesterday near the corner
OF Washington avenue and Linden
stree were all looking for some perch
of safety. A woman made a desperate
attempt to make statuary of herself
and stood on the PEDESTAL with George
Washington, where the horses, frisking
around the court house lawn, could not
conveniently cllfnD. After tramplnS
over considerable turf and soaring
every one in the vicinity nearly to
death, the animals were caught and
again led after the wagon until another
car came, when they again broke away,
and a repetition of the same scene en-
sued with slight change in the cast
of performers.
1t is rather pity that the street COM
missioner or the councils did not think
II worth while to do little house clean
ing in honor of the city's guests this
week. The quantity Of loose paper that
is blowing about the streets is dis
grace to any respectable town.
The knights Of Pythias seem to have
been selected for their height and good
