HENRY JAMES.

Henry James has lived abroad SO
long and has written so much about
Europe that to some of our readers
it may even ses n odd t. think Ct him
as an American. Perhaps it would
as a Bostonian rather than as the ma
tive of New York that he is; for, in
his earlier stories he so proved his
knowledge of Boston as to give the
same impression of local affinity
one receives from reading those OF
his stories in which the scene is laid
in Europe and in which most Of the
characters are Europeans. This yer.
satality is explained by the fact that
at the age of IL Mr.. James was taken

JOHN VARETTA CREMATED
Fatal Result of a Big Fire at Jermyn.
The Victim Had Already Es.
capped from Another Fire.

About II 80 o'clock Sunday evening
fire was discovered in the double house
north of the Delaware and Hudson
breaker, and owned by the same COM
pany. The fire started in the part oc-
Cupied by Frank Beemrock, and de-
stroyed nearly all the furniture. The
other part was occupied by George
Leeshushock, but none of his furniture
was saved. Before the Crystal Fire
company arrived upon the scene, Fore
man Hunter had a gang of men within
the building with a small hose. The
flames had gained such headway that
it was impossible for the fire company
to save the building and centered it's
work upon the adjoining buildings.
At the time it, was supposed that
everyone had left the house, but upon
investigation yesterday morning there
was found a charred human body.
After inquiry it was found the body
was that of John Varetta, one of the
bOarders.
Naretta was a bOarder at the Gooch
building and at the time of the fire
escaped by jumping from a window.
After the fire at Gooch's he went to
the company house to live. The re-

The situation in the Democratic camp
has reached exactly the phase that
good Judges have all along expected.
Yesterday orders were quietly given to

mander of the ticket slide. Boland

ayers know it to be true and are shap-
ing their actions accordingly.
The reaction among the people in
favor of John r.. Jones caused by re-
cent ineXcusahle attacks upon his good
name has reached such proportions
that reluctantly the city hall gang has
abandoned Mr. Horn to his fate. Il
was realized by the Democratic mani
ayers that the sheriff's office was the
one place in the list that, If captured,
would strengthen the Democratic party
machinery and make possible hopeful
campaigns for the Democratic tickets
in elections to come. 1t was also rec
ognized that Schadt, having thus far
paid the bulk of the freight, and being
prepared to stand the strain until the
end, ought to have the right of way.
The plan is, if Schadt is elected, to
make Horn once more the sheriffs at
torney.

BEFORE BREAKFAST. SIS

Do you know that Scranton women
need less sermonizing on the subject
of birds in their hats than residents of
most cities? There are few birds in
the millinery stores in this town. In
New York but little else is given pref
erence on street hats, and the most
enormous arrangements imaginable
with the shape of birds that never
were on sea or land, cover and hang
over the headgear of the milliner's
victims. a woman came into the the
atre one night with what might about
as well have been an entire turkey
gobbler, in a very aggressive mood,
overtopping her head. Everybody be-
hind her groaned at the view of the
far-reaching bird, which was surely
composed of dun colored turkey feath-
ers. They didn't suppose that wo-
man who would wear such a hat as
that could be induced by urgent and
repeated request to remove the Offend
ing object but 10! when the curtain
went up off went the hat and the sigh
of felicity that arose from the sur
prsed people in the rear gently ruff
fled the feathers of the fearful and
wonderful bird on the next seat.
Isn't it odd that the people who
usually write the most illegibly do the
most bowling about the way their lit
erary efforts get into the paper. Often
times they would have a succession Of
fits if their work were not published.
while nobody else would miss it, but if
they find an upturned letter or minor
error in the proOf-readng they make
loud and long complaints that would
lead one to suppose that an irreparable
wrong had been done them and the
public.
There was universal complaint
against the management of the Lyce-
um last evening because of the Egyp-
tan darkness in which the large audi
Ence found itself during the entire
Sevening, There is no excuse for such
parsimony at a concert where the seen
ic effects of the stage do not demand
that impenetrable gloom should pre-
clude even the satisfaction of reading
the programme. The manner in which
people stumbled in and out of that the
ater in endeavoring to reach their
seats or the door was certainly a dis
grace to somebody.
