THE JUcKLlNS AT THE ACADEMY.
Faithful Picture of North Carolina
Life by Robson and Ills Company.

There is no gainsaying that Daniel
J.. Hart h3 $ displayed his deftness as a
play constructor by his dramatlzation
of Opie Reads delightful story OF
North Carolina life, The Juckllns."
How we'll he has done his work was
demonstrated last night 10 the audi
cnce that saw The Jucklins" at the
Academy of Music. To those who had
read Mr. Reads story it was a revela-
tion that such a well-knt and dramat-
ic stage production could have been
evolved from the novel.
In this play Mr.. Hart has given a
simple picture of life in the South that
is quite as faithful and affecting as the
glimpses Of New England life given
to the stage by Herne and Thompson
Mr.. Hart was compelled to make some
radical changes in the plot of THE
Juckllns' in transferring 1t to the stage
but the workmanship Is 80 perfect that
it Is impossible to tell where Read
leaves off and Hart begins. Even the
vim of homely philosophy that Lem
Jucklin Is noted for flows as readily
and as naturally from the playwrites
pen as from that of the novelist.
In Lem Jucklin Stuart Robson has a
character that deserves to live and
which will probably bring him greater
fame than anything he has yet done
He depicts the quaint old North Caro-
lima farmer with a IaturalnCss IS that
leaves little to be desired. The Mrs.
Jucklin of Mrs. Samuel Charles was Il
worthy companion piece of character
sketching. Like Mr. Robson's work
there was nothing forced or unnatural
about it. Benjamin. Howard made a
fine impression as Alfred Jucklin and
the work Of Joseph Keefe, John Web
ster, jr., Augustus Holbach, Charles
Charles, Kathryn Osterman and Mrs.
Stuart Robson also deserves commen-
dation.
Gerard Anderson did not command
much favor In the role of "Bill' Halves,
the school teacher. 1t should, next to
Lem Jucklin, be the strongest charac-
ter in the drama, but in Mr.. Anderson's
hands it is not such.
At the close of the second act Mr.
Hart was called before the curtain and
made a short speech. He said that it
was two years ago last night that he
met Mr.. Robson i'm this city and signed
a contract with him for play. Scran-
ton had always been kind to him and
he wanted to thank the people of the
city for the interest they take in him
and his dramas.

THEY ARE AFRAID TO SHOOT.
Policemen DO Not Obey the Board of
Health Dog Mandate.

a 14-year-old boy, the son of Mr. and
Mrs. German, of rs River street was
bitten by a dog yesterday on the South
Side. Complaint was made at police
headquarters that the dog is owned
by Abe Getz, of Hickory street.
Another report came to the police
station yesterday that a small boy liv-
ing on jefferson avenue, hai been bit
ten by a dog. The animal is owned
by residents of No. 635 Kressler court.
Shooting arms will be probably be
used today on both dogs.
Since the order for shooting all I'M
muz2led dogs went into effect on
April 10 the patrolmen have not fired
a single shot. They argue that shoot
ing at a dog on the streets is a dan
gerous practice. This is why the dogs
still so unmuZzled.
With the children bitten yesterday
the record since the order went into
effect" shows three victims.

utterance; great elocutionary and

to Hang Fire.
TO COME UP IN THE MAY TERM

Judge Bennett, of wilkes Barre,
Specially Presiding, Grants an Or
der to Advance the Case TO the Head
of the Second Week of the May
Term of Common PIeas--oppor-
tunity Given the Defendant to Show
Cause why This should Not BE.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-04-28

As announced last week in The Trib-
une, the defendants in the latest John
G. Jennings case are determined upon
having a speedy trial.
Yesterday a motion was allowed to
place the case at the head of the trial
list for the second week Of the May
term of common pleas, which will fall
on June next.
Major Everett Warren, of counsel for
the defense, having given notice Of his
intention to make such a motion Judge
Lyman II. Bennett, of Wilkes Barre,
was summoned to receive 1t and was
present at the opening of court yes
terday morning.
The first procedure was the handing
down Of the following by Judge Arch
bald:
AN the Judges of this court being de-
PENDANTS in the above entitled case, Hon.
Lyman II. Bennett, additional law judge
of the Eleventh Judicial district, is re-
quested to dispose of the proposed mo-
tion to have the case advanced for trial

Tricks on the Teachers.

The other day a pupil in one Of the
public schools asked the teacher to do
little example in grammar, and since
then what seemed at first to be a simple
problem has had the serious consider
alton Of all the pedagogues In the COM
munity, and it has been unanimously
agreed that there is no rule in gram
mar to cover the point raised. The
youngsters proposition was this:
1T is two miles to Woodfords. Now
please write under that sentence There
are two twos in the above sentence"
That is what the boy said. He did
not submit the problem in writing,
and when the teacher tried to follow
his injunction she found out the reason
why. 1t dawned ON her that there were
not two twos, neither were there two
tos, and how to express In writing
what was easy enough to do verbally
she ascertained to be impossible.
The boy responsible for the forego-
ing must be a near relative to the
youth who asked his teacher how to
spell Paris green, and when she replied,
"P-a-r Par, is, Paris, green, green; (;
Paris green" retorted:
"No, you're wrong; you can't spell
Paris green, or blue, or any other color.
You can't spell it anything but Paris"

Want Bugs Protected.

For some time past British entomolo-
gists, or bug-hunters, have been eXer-
cised over the determination of certain
insects in consequence Of the zeal of the
collectors, who roam over the country
with butterfly nets. 1t would be diff
cult to protect butterflies and moths by
Legislation, as has been done for birds,
so an association has been formed un-
der the auspices Of the chronological
Society Of London. The members agree
to leave rare insects alone for awhile
and to do all in their power to curb the
sporting instinct in others. The insect
collector who abides by it will be more
than human, remarks London Graphic.
Imagine stamp collector agreeing not
to pick up a rare specimen from the
roadside, yet similar temptation will
be met and have to be resisted by the
insect collector.

Value of a Trade School

A difficult piece of investigation has
been carried through, with interesting
results, by the superintendent of the
Hrsch Trade School, says the Jewish
Messenger. A census Of the graduates
of the last three years shows that, of
10 per cent. whose course it has been
possible to trace, more than two-thirds
are to-day successfully engaged in
practice of mechanical trades. This
demonstration of the values of the
school method has the added import
ance Of disposing finally of the conten-
ton that Russian Jews are not apt
material for artisans. Intelligent
choice of the branches taught and a
rigorous insistence ON good workman
ship, have insured an opportunity for
each graduate to earn living even in
season of ''hard times" 1t is certain
that taste Of the sturdy independence
of such a career will forever preclude
return to the debasing conditions Of
the sweat shop.

The Best She Gould Do.

Harpers Bazar tells a story Of a
young lady who found employment as
an operator at the Central Telephone
Exchange, though she knew little about
the work, her previous experience hav-
ing been mainly gained behind the
counter Of dry goods store.
Over her face, however, were written
amiabihty and willingness to do all
that could be done, and she rapidly
learned her new duties. She had
adopted as her motto the sentence,
1--WE strive to please" and honestly
tried to live up to it.
On one Of her first days there was a
ring at the bell. She asked, sweetly:
''What number, please?"
"Let me have 474."
81 am sorry that number 474 is busy
now," she replied. ''You can have
number 473 or number 475, if you
WISH"
The person at the other end is said to
have hung up his receiver in silent as
tonishment; but it is probable that he
liked the response better than he would
have liked surly:
''474 busy. Hang up"
