There was an awful howl about his age,

persisting to play, he was keeping young
men out of their glory. The old man laid
off. The cranks stood aghast, and then
they yelled for Uncle TO return. And no.
body has said a word about his being too
old to play since then, and yet he is three
years older now than he was in 1894. Real
ly Anson is a wonderful character.

DR.. STAFFORD ON HAMLET.
Delivers His Lecture in College Hall
Tomorrow Night.

Rev. d. ]. Stafford, D. D., who will
lecture in ST. Thomas college hall to-
morrow night on Hamlet" has given
years of careful study to the Shake
spearean plays and his work has "e-
ceived the most nattering recognition
from competent critics everywhere.
How thoroughly he treats his subject
may be seen from the following synop-
sis:
The undying interest of Hamlet
Source of the plot. No proportion be-
tween the sublime sOul-tragedy and the
original crude story of crime. Text or
Hamlet. Rule for Interpretation. Mys-
teriousness INTENDED by the poet. Con-
dition of Hamlet's mind. Various theo-
ries advocating insanity. Critical
analysis of the evidence adduced
shows that Hamlet was essentially
sane. No thought of suicide Play
within the play. Hamlet, morally great
as he was intellectually sublime. Not
the over r-development of the sDecula-
tive faculty. The three meanings of
Hamlet and the reason of its immortal
ity.

MY FRIEND FROM INDIA.
A Great tLaugh-Producer Seen at the
Academy of Music.

A good cure for the blues is MY
Friend from India" which received its
initial Scranton production at the
Academy of Music last night. 1t is one
of the greatest mirth provokers in the
way of a farce that has been seen in
this city. II. A. Du Souchet, a tele-
graph operator, is the author of the
farce. He also wrote THE Man from
Mexico" which is one of the reigning
New York successes.
To enjoy MY Friend from India" to
the fullest it is not necessary to be in
a critical or an analytical frame of
mnd-in fact the farce won't stand
that kind of treatment very well.
You just go to the theater, sink into
your comfortable seat, forget your
cares and laugh until you can't sum-
mon the energy to laugh any more and
then you go home and possibly Won
der what it's all about.
That's the reason My Friend from
India" is so successful and so interest
ing.
1t would be difficult in a brief space
to give an idea of the innumerable
mirth- provoking complications caused
by the appearance of A. Keen Shaver,
a barber, in the home of Kansas City
millionaire who is trying to break into
New York society. Mr.. Shaver comes in
the guise of an East Indian theosophist
and is received with joy by the Million
are because he sees an opportunity to
make a social lion of the alleged theos-
opist and thus pave the way for his
own entrance into the charmed circle
of the 400. Several love stories are
dovetailed in between the complicated
and ludicrous situations to keep up
the heart interest i'm the farce and each
one is very cleverly carried along to
a satisfactory termination.
The company that produced the farce
last night was highly satisfactory in
almost every particular. Frederic
Bond Walter f. Perkins, Edward 5.
Abelles, Marion GirouX, Miss Louise
Galloway and Miss Mary Vokes did
excellent work and carried the farce
along with a swing and dash from be-
ginning to end. With that cast there
| are no dull moments while the cur
tain is up on My Friend from India" "

WERE FOUND IN DUNMORE.
Two BinghamtOn Girls Return Home
After Few Days Visit.

The two girls who left their homes
in Binghamton and came to this city
for a jaunt were found yesterday in a
place in Dunmore. Detective Stevans,
of Binghamton, who was assigned the
mission of finding the wayward girls
made the discovery. After talking it
all over one of the girls, Grace Kill
mer, repented and decided to return to
the parental roof.
The other said that this city had no
charms for her if Miss Kilmer left so
the detective and the two penitents left
the city on an early train last evening
for BinghamtOn.

Since the supreme court reversed the
superior court and Judge Gunster, last
Monday, and adjudged that the Scran-
ton and pittston Traction company
should be enjoined from the crossing
the Delaware and Hudson road at
grade near the Moosic station, the Of
ficers of the trolley company have been
assiduously figuring out some method
of surrounding the difficulty that this
decision entails.
Their labor however has been of no
avail for yesterday they announced
that there is no possible way of getting
their cars over the crossing in ques-
tion except at grade and the only al
tentative is to compel the passengers
to change cars at that point.
Mr.. AmCrman to a Tribune reporter
yesterday said that his company had
considered the difficulty in every form
and shape and had striven earnestly
and energetically to arrive at some
scheme for making a continuous trip
to Pittston possible, but despite all
their labors no feasible plan could be
hit upon.
THE people will have to walk over
the crossing; that is all there is to it,"
said Mr. Amerman.
The Traction company which oper-
ates the road is fearful lest the Della
ware and Hudson company may tear
up the street car tracks on the cross
ing during the night and to prevent
its service from being suddenly Grip
pied keeps three or four cars on the
other side of the crossing all the time.
1t was rumored Sunday night that
the railroad company was about to be-
gin the tearing up operations but as
yet there have been no indications of
it. The street cars ran over the cross
| ing yesterday as usual
1t is probable the supreme court will
be asked to listen to re-argument of
| the case.

Editor Daniel Langowski, of the Pol
ish weekly, was yesterday returned
guilty of libel in two of the four cases
brought by Rev. Buno Iwanowski, OF
Priceburg and his housekeeper, Fran
ces Schurka. The jury was out from
6 o'clock Saturday evening until lO3O
o'clock yesterday morning.
The first two cases were based on an
article which was printed August l,
1896. Langowski established to the
jury's satisfaction that he was only
Compositor on the paper at that time,
and that A. Lipinski was the actual
editor. The second charge was found
ed on an illustrated article which ap-
peared Feb. 6, 1897. 1t was a double
column, double -leaded mass of biblical
quotations, bearing upon unfaithtul
shepherds and the like and in the CEN
ter was printed portraits of Father
Iwanowslti and Miss Schuka. Editor
Langowski pleaded that the facts jus
titled the article and disclaimed all
malice. The jury could not see it this
way and found him guilty of like in
publishing this last article.
Langowsh was brought into court at
noon by his attorney, N. Nokalek, and
a request was made that sentence be
postponed until next term owing to the
illness of Langowskis wife. Judge
Archibald agreed to this when Lam
gowski gave $500 bail for his appear
ance next term. Martin Rebega be-
came his bondsman.
