LITERARY NOTES.

James Barnes, who IS so well known as
a successful author OF naval stories. has
written THE Hero of Erie" the story
of oliver Hazard Perry, which will APP
pear shortly in the Young Heroes of our
Navy Series, published by d. Appleton
4 Co.
President Jordan. of Leland Stanford
Junior University, is about to publish a
new book with the Appletons entitled
Foot Notes to Evolution" This book
will appeal To intelligent readers who
have felt the need Of popular review of
the philosophy Of evolution, which shows
its present status. President JORDAN
pays especial attention to the biological
aspects of the subject. lie explains the
essential unity of organisms, the real
character of progress, and the relation
OF heredity and degeneration To the
scheme of evolution. The woman of
evolution is among the themes dis
cussed from the standpoint of the cvO-
lutionist.
Latitude 49, Is the title OF Mrs. Schuy-
Ter Crowinshield's first novel which is to
be published Immediately by the Apple
tons. The scene is laid in Haiti in 1920,
and the local color is said TO he fresh
and captivating, while the interes Of
novelty attaches to the historical back
ground. including as 1t does the pirates
and VOodoO WOrshpcrs of the earlier part
OF the century IN Iaitl, ana the strange
figure of King Christophe. The uniag-
Ging interest of the adventures which are
encountered is accompanied ny constant
vein of delightful humor.
That the spy sent by the United States
government 10 Spain during the war
| should have become the guest of Weylcr
! himself, seems incredible. Yet there is
nothing more true The government se-
| lccted as it's agent man of position who
! has lived much in Germany. il was nee
essary for us to have a trained intellect
| that would make no mistakes. His story
| is told in the November Cosmopolitan,
| and the most exciting pages of Dumas
| fiction seem tame in comparison with the
| facts. Crossing the frontier i'm a first
| class carriage, he was by a trifing acct
| dent brought into conversation with a
| young Spanish noblcman; presently who
| should come along but the son of General
! Weyler. This acquaintance led TO his
| receiving many attentions from Weyler
| when they reached Madrid, and the Ge l.
| cTal actually gave up n day TO trip 10
| the Escural. Imagine this grim arch
| enemy OF ours laying himself out to please
| the secret agent whom the government
| had sent TO find the weak places of Spain.
| How trifing the de m0rcation between the
| position of hOnOred guest and that of
| spy who, If discovered, would have been
| all the more quickly sent to his death
| The same issue of The Cosmopolitan con-
! tains four pieces of fiction by such fam
Gus authors as Frank Stockton, Zangwll,
! III, q, Wells and the lamented Harold
! Frederic but none of it halt so exciting
| In its interest as this true story.

The capacity of the Gaicty theater
should be tested to its utmost for
the week of November "a, when the
Merry Maidens are to play a special
engagement. The Merry Maidens need
no booming, the simple announcement
of their coming guarantees a genuine
musical treat anda happy surprise as
regards the ensemble of all the bright,
novel ideas that go to make up an
up-to-date traVesty. which includes
first and foremost comedians singers
and sparkling soubrettes, surrounded
by young and graceful women.
The programme comprises two new
musical skits presented in the spectac-
ular form and gives a wide opportunity
for entertaining and brilliant special
ties. The company is headed by Nellie
Hanley. singer of illustrated songs.
She is supported by some of the best
known people in vaudeville.

Hanford as "OtheIIu."

Shakspearan tragedies seldom attract
large audiences in Scranton, yet Char
les B. Hanford's "Otheilo" was greeted
by a fair house at the Lyceum last
night, although not as full as the mer-
it of the production warranted. Mr..
Hanford has surrounded himself with
an excellent company in which he APP
pears TO great advantage. In physique
and general personal appearance he
makes an ideal Othello, who could sue
cessfully win the fairest and most OBJ
durate Desdemona.
He gave a powerful delineation of
the jealous Moor. imp1ssioned and
fiery in his conception, yet never exag-
geratinG the difficult role. Frank Hen
nig's Iago was portrayed with infinite
care and with certain departures from
the hackneyed rendering which We're not
unWelcome. At least two of the men
in the cast will probably be heard from
in the future as tragedians of eXcep-
tional ability. Those are Paul Taylor
and Roderigo and Lawrence Lowell as
Cassie. Miss Marie Drofna was a
pleasing Desdemona, who did not over
do the character. Miss Mary Timber
man gave a clever portrayal of Emilia.
The performance in general was very
satisfactory,

SPORTING NOTES.

Pennsylvania is at last in the much
coveted position of leader in the list of
states regarding the membership in the
League Of American Wheelmen as the
latest report from Secretary Bassett
shows the Keystone state to have H.
1S3 members, as against Il ,66S in New
York, giving this division a lead Of
ll5. Members of the league throughout
the state have good cause to feel proud
of this fact, for before the present Of
ficers took charge of division affairs
New York was thousands ahead, and
Massachusetts also had a considera BILE
advantage in members. Gradually the
lead was cut down. and Massachusetts
finally displaced, but it has taken q
longer period to overtake New York,
and has required lots of hard work.
With the advantage thus gained it is
now ever to be hoped that Pennsyl-
Vania will always remain where she
belongs at the head of the list.
The reason for passing to the front
at this particular time is because of the
number of renewals of membership
| sent in and not the new applicants.
Each week all names are dropped from
the roll if the year for which dues are
national secretary shows that New York
! has not retained as many of it's old
| members as Pennsylvania. That menu
| bers in this state renew annually to 50
| great a degree is always a cause of
wonder to members in other divisions
and is due entirely to the many benefits
! that membership gives--benefits whch
| exceed greatly in number those of any
| other division.
| Members of the l.. A. W. are entitled
10 special club rate on almost all of
| the popular weekly and monthly per-
| iodicals. and this is being very gen.
| erously taken advantage of. This as Il
| matter to some, means a saving of
| more than the cost of membership and
seems likely to prove one of the most
popular of the leagues many benefits.

vania division l.. A. w. close ON the

Denman Thompson's Play.

The event OF the season will be the
annual engagement of Denman
Thompson's The Sunshine of Paradise
Alley" which comes to the Lyceum
Saturday evening and matinee. Mr..
Thompsons new play fully realizes the
expectations which have been raised
about it as one Of the lovliest and most
wholesome entertainments ever pre-
sented in this city. 1t has been lik-
ened to The Old Homestead" in its
naturalness, piCturesqueness and pa
thetic interest. On the above named
date it is safe to say that everybody
will be on hand to greet the good Sa-
maritar Sunshine" and the mother
ly Widow McNally, whom to see is 10
love.

James O'Neill Coming.

James j. O'Neill. the Monte Cristo of
the stage, tells a. funny story of what
happened him down south. Mr.. O'Ncill
had picked UP colored lad, who was
to act as his valet and dresser. 1t
was the fellows first week on the road
and he was not quite used to the
splendor of a first class hotel. On ar
irving at Richmond Mr.. O'Neill went
to a new hotel there, which is consid-
cred one OF the finest in the south.
On asking the rates Mr.. O'Neill was
Informed that they We're $40 IA day,

started to take Mr.. O'Neill's grip up
stairs the actors valet turned to the
bell boy saying: HIN, if that amt

Lyceum Monday and Tuesday nights.
