no Lvndsay Course uf Entertainments.
Those who enjoy an evening Of must
cal or literary entertainment will be de
lighted With the programme of this fall
and winter which will be under the
direction of the Lyndsay course. The
series of 10 will form IL circuit OF Phila-
delphia, Wilmington, Baltimore and
Washington. This scheme of concen.
trating expense by having tho same
series appear in four adiacent cities
alluws OF the startlingly ldiw price Of
season tiGkets, which is announced as
being 81 for the course of entertain
ments. At fret sight, the downright
cheapness Of the course makes one i'm
mediately associate the entertainments
with the idea of poorness, secondrate
and not worth seeing class of pro-
duetions. This is far from icing the
case, however, as the same attractions
in other cities and some of them even
in Wilmington have proved themselves
well worth the usual dollars worth for
an evening. The proximity OF Phila-
delphia is one draw back TO most en-
tertainments that would otherwise be
seen here, but this course will make it
unnecessary to go from home, as the
same attractions will be given in all
where a single entertainment would be
so pleasing aH to attract second en-
gagemenG in Philadelphia after being
relished hero. This has been found TO
be the case in the Boston circuit, whore
favurite performances have been pa
tronized by residents of towns in the
circuit in which the performance has
been seen before. The list OF 10 is
made up of attractions such rs the
Welsh prize singers; Leland I. Powers
in his imporsouations of characters;
Brown University Glee Club, whose
music is equal to that of any in college
circles, though perhaps not 80 well
known as some other university clubs;
Temple Male Quartette; Kellog Bird
Carnival Co. Maud Powell Go. and
others. In Baltimore tho interest this
course has created has become intense
and very wide snread Those VINO have
been fortunate enough TO have heard
any of tho performances promised, are
enthusiastic about this course and it
will no doubt be great success here as
we'll as in the other cities Of this cir.
cult. The course will be established
permanently, so that this same class Of
entertainments can he en- njUyed each
season for the nominal sum charged.
There will be limited number of re.
served seats for the course, and Others
on sale a few days before each enter
tainment, for which a sma! sum will
be charged, hut the extreme Cheapnoss
of this LINDSAY course brings it within
the purse limits of all who enjoy cleaL,
healthy entertainments.

He and Attorney Ward Attend the Phila,
deiphia Gas Meeting.

j. Edward Addicks attended the
meeting OF the committees of finance
and gas OF the Philadelphia Councils
Monday. He was accompanied by
II. II. Ward Of this city, and when
Chairman Seeds asked il there was
anybody that wished to he heard,
Attorney Ward arose from seat at the
rear of the room, beside Mr.. Addicks,
and said that he represented the Bay
State Gas Go.
President Miles, of Select Council,
raised point of order as to whether
Mr. Ward had presented any offer that
was under consideration. Some of the
other memhera seemed to think that
the lines should not be drawn so
tightly. Mr. McCoach said that he
had been hearing about the great love
for the city and here was chance,
perhaps, to hear something for her
benefit.
Mr.. Ward stood waiting while the
discussion as 10 whether he should he
heard went on. Then Mr.. Sanders,
representing the Philadelphia Gas Co.,
sprang to his feet and shouted, You
have asked this gentleman to speak and
now you shut him Off !"
The chairman raped with his gRvel,
but N1r. Sanders insisted ON voicing his
protest against that method of cutting
off talk. Sergeant at Arms Hall moved
over near Mr. Sanders, when the latter
| called out, "The sergeant-at-arms can
throw me out il you want him to, but
that wouldn't do any good. !"
Mr.. Seger got the floor, and asked
Mr.. Ward how long it would take him
to say what he wanted. Mr.. Ward
said about minute, and MIR. Seger
suggested that the quickest way out of
it was to hear the gentleman.
MIR. Ward then said that "a proposition
| from the Bay State Gas Co. was TO be
sent to the mayor, and that it was to
| bo butter and more profitable one for
the city than any proposition yet mado
| Then he sat down.
