The last session of the institute was
begun with prayer by Rev. ]. B. Sweet
pastor of the Simpson Methodist Epis-
copal church. Miss Margaret McClos-
key, of Lock Haven, gave her last
talk on the subject of art, with its
especial reference to child education.
Miss McCloskey during the institute
has given invaluable services.
Professor S. Y. Gillian closed his SER
les of practical talks. His theme yes
terday was THE Teachers Privilege
and Opportunity to Grow" Professor
Gillans department CT work was per-
haps the most serious of all. He prov
ed fully equal to the requirements.
After brief recess DR.. Bernard
Bigsby concluded his talk on Ian
guage. He spoke on the great express
sive powers of "old" English, In end
ing his address, after thanking the
teachers for their kind reception of
him, DIR. Bigsby recited these lines:
"As babe enters into the world weep
ing, while all about II smile, may thy
life be such that on thy death bed
thou may'st smile and all around thee
weep"
superintendent Howell arose to in
troduce Deputy State Superintendent
Houck, but, at this point, Professor H.
l.. Morgan, teacher, interrupted. He
had an introduction to make, too. 1t
was Professor John p. Quinnan, who
had been selected by the teachers to
present the superintendent with a
chair.
Professor Quinnan paid a nice COM
pliment to Superintendent Howell and
while he was speaking Professors Ket-
rick and Cruttenden carried in the
chair 1t is an especially handsome
one.
SUPERINTENDENT'S REMARKS.
In making his reply Superintendent
Fowelrs remarks were of that same
happy and characteristic style which
has endeared him to Scranton school
teachers and the old High school pu-
pills. From graceful expression of ac-
acknowledgement Superintendent How
ell unconsciously glided into an address
on unseen elements in education, which
was one of the best given at the in
stitute.
Mr.. Houck then spoke. He was hu-
morous, as customary, but he seriously
complimented the teachers on their
ability to sing. He had never heard
better in his life.
The resolutions were then read by
sor y. A. Stone they were unanimously
adopted after which the institute
closed.

THE WRONG Mr.. WRIGHT.
fleased Large Audience at the
rockingham Last Night.

iothiHSHuH LuSt Night.
THE Wrong Mr. Wright" Roland
Reeds new comedy, received it's first
presentation in this city at the Froth-
lngham last night as a benefit for the
local order of Elks. There was a large
audience and the comedy was well re-
celVed. After the second act Mr.. Reed
was called before the curtain and made
one OF his characteristic speeches.
Ihe comedy was written for Mr..
Reed by George H. Broadhurst and is
one OF the best in which he has an
peared. The story is as follows: "Sey-
mour Sites (Mr Reed) is a Frisco
millionaire who has been robbed by
forgery OF $4,000 by his cashier. He
neafs that the forger has gone to Old
Folnt Comfort and goes there himself,
10 40 some detective work on his own
NOOK, assuming the name of "Mr.
wright II happens that the forger
mas also assumed the name, "Mr.
wright and as the detectives get af
yer the millionaire for robbing him
self, the opportunities for amusing sit
uations are very good. The chief de-
tective is a woman, Henrietta Oliver
Miss Rush), and instead of capturing
MIN as criminal she apprehends Sites
as a husband"
In the character of Seymour Sites Mr..
Heed has role particularly well suit
ed to him and the same can be said
OF MISS lsadore Rush, who was at
her best as the dashing female detec-
tive. Charles Coate made distinct hit
as LORD Brazenface, a degenerate. As
character actor he takes high rank
This afternoon the company will
produce The Wrong Mr.. Wright" at

the entire first floor will be fifty cents
Twenty-Five cents will be the uniform
price of seats on the balcony. Tonight

Yesterday, the last day of the April
term of criminal court, was marked
by the disposition of eighteen cases.
The three murder trials of the first
two weeks clogged the business in
great degree, but yesterdays efforts
on the part of District Attorney Jones

CATHEDRAL PARISH DIVIDED.
New One Has Been Formed in the
Bellevue District.

Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara yesterday
caused that portion of the cathedral
parish known as Bellevue to be erected
into separate parish and named Rev
w. p. O'Donnell, of Providence, as its
pastor.
The step has been contemplated for
some time and land has already been
secured for a church and a convent.
1t was considered desirable to divide
the cathedral parish on account Of the
constant and rapid growth of the con-
gregation.

AT THE THEATERS.

my Friend from India" has become
very popular individual wherever he
has appeared. He will be introduced
to our theater goers at the Academy of
Music one night only, Monday, April
26. Reports Of his extreme jolity and
good humor have spread rapidly and
there will doubtless be many in this
city who will be desirous to make his
acquaintance. Judging from the inces-
SAINT and uproariOus laughter which he
has excited elsewhere he must be
most agreeable and desirable indlvid-
ual. Never has new play from a new
author made so decisive and emphatic
hit Messrs. Smyth and Rice will
present it here with the original cast
that enjoyed a most prosperous run of
one hundred and fifty nights in New
York city. Among the members of the
company are the Messrs. Frederic
Bond, Edward S. Abeles, Walter Z.
Perkins and the Misses Marion Gil
rouX, Helen Reimer, Kenyon Bishop,
Louise Galloway and May Vokes.
Stuart Robson will be at the Acad-
emy of Music Tuesday evening in The
Jucklins." II may be deemed a matter
of ngratulation that Mr.. Robson has
succeeded in finding a character from
Opie Reid's book which, while not
only giving him the opportunity of his
lifetime in character study, proves to
be what seems to be one of the most
substantial additions to the permanent
statues of the footlights, if such a
term may be used. Mr.. Robson, whose
long and honOred career needs no in
PRODUCTION now, has carved into life the
character of Lem Jucklin. a farmer of
North Carolina, who, while noted as
good and moral. has an inherent pas
sion for cock fighting The dramatiza-
tion was done by Daniel L. Hart.
Frederick Wardc and his company
have been engaged at a large sum to
give one performance of King Lear"
at the Academy of Music in Philadel-
phia next Tuesday night as a part of
the big Shakespearean festival to be
held there all the week. The next night
afterward the distinguished actor will
commence brief engagement here,
presenting King Lear with all the
elaboration and detail that has won
so much praise and success for the
production this season. Thursday af-
ternoon he will give popular matinee
of THE Merchant of Venice" and
Thursday night will conclude the en-
gagement with the presentation of
Richard Ill" All three plays will be
handsomely presented scenically, and
1t is almost needless to say, well acted
Mr.. Warde is our greatest tragedian
and has made an unusual success this
season.
The first half of next week the New
Jersey Burlesque and Twentieth Cen
tury minstrels will appear at Davis
theater. They come highly recon-
mended to Manager Davis by the
houses where they have appeared
Next week will be the last of the regu-
lar season.

Jury Judge Edwards said: This both
er between the Weichel woman and
Davis Is now quite notorious The last
time they were before me, ] told Davis
to keep away from this woman and
also from this court. 1t appears he
is obeying my order in the latter re-
spect. At all events it Is just as well
that he does not appear as no jury
man would believe him under oath.
If he ever does come here the sheriff
will receive MIN with a capias for
the costs in this case"
John Kolfski, having waited two
terms for the appearance of his prose-
cutor Stanislaus Orzel, a verdict of
not guilty was recorded, when Orzel
failed again to answer to his name
yesterday. Assault and battery was
the charge.
John Toohill was called up to stand
trial for stealing two sacks of flour
from the store of his grandfather, the
late Michael Toohill, of Jackson street.
owing to the death of the storekeeper
there was no one to prove the corpus
detecti, or, as the laity would have 1T,
that n robbery had occurred. Police
Lieutenant Williams was ready 20 go
on the stand to give the prisoners
confession, but his testimony was
ruled out on the ground that a person
can not confess to a crime until the
crime is proven. Mr.. Thayer, attorney
for Toohill, succeeded in securing this
ruling from Judge Edwards, and had
the satisfaction of seeing his man
walk out of the court room free, al
though there was no doubt as to his
guilt Judge Edwards, in explaining
the technicality to the jury, remarked
that it was better to allow a guilty
man to go free than to violate the laws
of justice governing trials.
KEYS ALSO WENT FREE.
Oliver Keys, who stole an overcoat
from William II. Jones, escaped on
the same technicality. He had made
a confession, but the man from whom
the coat had been stolen was not at
hand to prove the crime and the con-
fession in consequence could not be
used.
John Leecock, an 1S-year-old Oily
phant lad, pleaded guilty Of stealing a
vest and watch from his boarding
boss. His attorney, Joseph V. Brown,
made a strong plea for clemency, and
Judge Edwards let him off with thir-
ty days in the county Jail.
A jury went out at adjournment to
pass upon the truth or falsity of John
Barrett's oath that he did not steal
an overcOat from a dummy in front
of John Wartofski's clothing store on

Linen forms tho raw material for

Such goods will bo advanced 20 to 30
