FUNERAL TOMORROW.
THE CHERRY PICKERS.
Highly Interesting Drama Seen at the
ErOthingham Last Night.

cone of the most interesting dramas
seen in Scranton this season." was the
verdict of those who saw THE Cherry
PiCkers'' at the FrOthingham last even
ing. 1t is a drama of English military
life in India from the pen of Joseph
Arthur ana is the best thing that play
write has done thus far. Manager
Pitou has handsomely staged and
mounted it and what is more important
has given it into the hands of a com
pany of most competent players, 1t is
not an aggregation of mintits grouped
about a star but an evenly balanced
company of experienced players who
give highly satisfactory interpreta-
tion Of the thrilling story the drama
tist tells.
The drama opens in the gardens of
the British Residency at Rawul Pindee
where a reception is being given for an
English regiment known as the Cherry
Pickers from the color of their trousers
In scenic way this act is handsomely
embellished. 1t is here the characters
are introduced and the story of the
drama outlined. The next act Is at Mrs.
O'Donnell-Duleep's bungalow in a sub
urb of Rawul Pmdee and the third in
the fortress at Candahar where one Of
the most thrilling scenes of the drama
is located. John Nazare, a half-caste
! officer is chained to an embrasure of the
| fort and a monster brass cannot trained
on his body. He is of course rescued
| by his lady love before the cannon eX-
| plodes. but the scene is so thrilling and
| the climax led up to In such an original
| way as to cause the audience to forget
| the somewhat conventional rescue.
The fourth and last act is in the Post
| Oak at Judug, fifty miles from Can
| dahar, where the drama Is brought to a
satisfactory If conventional conclusion
1t can be said in all justice for the
| drama that there is not dun or unin-
teresting moment In it neither are
there any aggravatlng inefficient ac'
tors to bungle and spoil the scenes.

A GREAT INNOVATION.
How Enterprising Merchants Boom
Their Business in Dun Months of
the Year.

The past few days have seen lively
demonstration i'm one of our model dry
goods stores. There is not another line
of trade in which competition is as
keen as the retail dry goods business
and certainly not another in which the
public at large is 50 well posted ON
prices. The result is that a house of
this kind in order to reach the top and
remain there must make such bargain
offerings as will be recognized by eV-
eryone to be truly bargains in every
sense of the word.
This means that the aspiring mer-
chant must needs sacrifice some of his
stock at times and very often sell far
below cost, especially in the duh sea-
son. This policy has been followed by
every successful merchant of any i'm
pOrtanCe, the intrinsic success OF the
policy being in the fact that ii keeps
business at an even tenor all the year
round, and mOre important stilD gives
the consumer an opportunity to pur-
chase goods at prices a conservative
house cannot or will not approach.
There is probably not another dry
goods house in Scranton that will cut
prices as quickly as THE Leader" on
Wyoming avenue, and surely not an
other that Is patronlzed SO freely on
! that account.
a bargain sale now going on in that
! establishment is evidence to the fact.

A rian Who Never Drinks water.

The Raleigh News and Observer
says; There was man here Thurs
day who has not taken drink Of
water in sz years. Ills name is Will
liam w. M, Hunter. Ills home Is in
Kingston. He is ex sheriff Of Wayne
county Mr.. Hunter docs not refuse
to drink water because he drinks
something else; indeed, he never
takes liquid refreshments Of any kind.
He does not drink for the simple
reason that he doesn't want 10. Yet
he is as strong, hearty and healthy
as are other people,
1T was in 1865 that he quit drink
ing water. He was in prison at Fort
Fisher. The water there seemed to
be good, but the food was scarce and
bad. The result was that hundreds
died of stomach troubles, brought on,
the physicians said, by the poor food
aud the water. Mr.. Hunters trouble
became chronic and the water grew
iistasteiul, so he discontinued its use.
He soon recovered. and never to this
day has lie had any desire for a drink
Of water. Sometimes, he says, he
grows thirsty, but it il not water that
he Graves. but something juicy and
slightly acid, like an apple or orange.
He very seldom drinks coffee. tea,
milk or beer

the game warden. who says that in
one herd which he saw the other
morning there were $1,000 of them,
stretching oyer distance of six miles.
The sight, he said, surpassed any
thing he had ever seen and utterly
amazed him. The elks' trail over
the snow was like flint ice. he said,
so hard had the snow been packed
down. The animals are seen by
thousands any morning. moving

the opening, with their faces towards

bronze lions, on which our mountain
conirade had his gun leveled. He
thought he had broken into den Of
wild beasts. The loud laugh which
ensued restored him to his equilibrium,
and he ielt that he had made "a bad
break. He said that he had never
seen such things" before in his life,
and did not know there were s.stone
or brass animals about large houses. =
He said that when he first looked in
he could have sworn that he saw one
of the lions move. When the house
was abandoned by its owners, these
