FOR A COLOSSAL DAM.
Rids for the Culvert Will BE Opened
Today in Wilkes. Bare

Today the Spring Brook Water Sup
ply company will open bids at it's office
in Wilkes-Barre for the immense new
reservoir to be erected on Gardner's s
creek, about two and one-half miles
south of Yatesville. All the leading
contractors of this part of the country
are after the job.
1t will be an embankment dam with
masonry core-wall, and some idea of
its great size may be formed when it is
told that it will cover about 100 acres of
land and will have a capacity of TO-
100000 gallons. 1t will be 1,16O feet long
and seventy feet high or deep at its
deepest. The width at the top of the
embankment will be ten feet and it will
enclose the core-wall, which will be
eighty-three feet high, extending into
the earth and into the solid rock to a
depth of three feet. The core-wall will
be thirteen feet thick at the bottom,
tapering to three feet thick at the top,
which will be one foot lower than the
top of the bank.
The water will be carried off by two
S0-inch pipes, which will be imbedded
in masonry jacket two feet thick all
round the pipes. Each of these dis
charge pipes will have two gates, the
gate-house for which will be situated
below the dam. These pipes will dis
charge the immense quantity of be-
tween 25000O,000 and 800, 100000 gallons
in twenty-four hours
The dam will co 1855 cubic
yards of embankment and 1880 cubic
yards of stone. 1t will have a capac-
ity Of some 7O,G0O,OO0 gallons more than
the Mill Creek dam. When this and
the Mill Creek dams will have been
completed, the Spring Brook Water
Supply company viii have nineteen
dams. The present aggregate capacity
of all the dams is very nearly four bill
lions of gallons, and when Gardner's
Creek and Mill Creek dams will have
been constructed the grand total ca
pacity will be about five and one-half
billions

Sages the Lyceum.

An audience that taxed the seating
capacity of the Lyceum was present
last night at the opening of the engage
ment of the Sages. who are the most
wonderful hypnotists before the public
today. After the curtain was rung up
Prof. Sage called for volunteers and
thirty-five young men took seats on the
stage. All but four of these Professor
Sage, his wife and their assistant We're
able to get under the hypnotic spell,
and the feats they had the subjects
perform kept the audience convulsed
with laughter for two hours.
A young man named Mahon, who
has somewhat of local reputation as
a lreciter, was put under the Influence
and directed to do scene from DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde. He did it in a
manner that would have reflected
credit on Richard Mansfield. Ross Sur
dam was another excellent subject.
One of the novelties introduced was
q series Of tableauX. Prof. Sage would
place several of his subjects in vari-
Gus attitudes and then make them per-
fectly rigid. The tableaux were given
in a cabinet with appropriate costum-
ing and electric light effects and were
very effective. A scene in a Chinese
laundry was extremely ludicrous and
he efforts of a half-dozen of the sub
Jects, each of whom believed he was a
great orator, convulsed the audience.
The Sages will give another enter
tainment tonight and on Saturday they
will give demonstrations of their power
afternoon and evening.

The Two Vagabunds.

THE Two Vagabonds," "Erminie"
under another name, was sung by the
waite Opera company at the Academy
or Music last night. Miss Morella sang
the role of Erminie, or Fanchon as it is
called in this version Of the opera, in
a very pleasing manner and Herman
Waldo and Claude Amsden evoked
much merriment by their droll imper-
sonation of the two thieves.
In the afternoon "Girohe- Girofa"
was sung. AT both performances the
usual specialties were introduced, and
as finale a number of artistic living
pictures were introduced that did not
obtrude indecency or vulgarity on the
public gaze in the guise of art This
afternoon "Boccaccio" will be sung and
tonight the Bohemian Girl"

"Two Little Lords,v

Apropos of Little Lord Fauntleroy,"
which will be the attraction at the
Academy of Music for three nights and
two matinees, commencing Monday,
March Z, there are two children who
alternate the part of "Fauntleroy" with
this company and there is quite a riv-
airy between the youngsters for supre
macy in their performance. One of the
children Is aged and the other boasts
OF years existence on this trouble
some earth of ours. The manager has
a standing offer of IS extra salary each
week to the child who plays the part
best and the prize to be decided by a
vote Of the company, so now each little
Lord has become quite a politician in
his method of influencing votes. 1t is
needless to say that the IS bill has been
the means of keeping the youngsters
up to mark of excellence in their
work SO hard to reach in ones so young.

WANTS JUDGMENT OPENED.
Theodore v. Konecnv Applies to
Court for n Rule.

Through his attorney, L. C. New
comb Theodore V. Konecny. yesterday
applied to court for a rule to open
judgment In the case of the Suburban
Electric Light company against Anna
V. Konecny, C. e. Konecny and Theo-
dore V. Konecny.
Feb. Z last, judgment was entered
against the defendants by reason Of
their non-appearante, for bill for
electric light furnished at the Kon-
ecny hair-dressing parlors. The petit
tioner says he was in New Jersey when
the Judgment was entered and had no
notice OF the hearing. He also AYERS
that he is solely responsible for the
bill; that his wife and daughter are
in no way associated with him in the
business. He says further that the
judgment was for more than he owes.

"a Secret Warrant" is new ro-
nance by w. A. Tremayne and it will
be presented at the Lyceum Monday
next, March z, by Robert Mantell and
his famous company. The play is his
torical, the scenes being laid in 172O at
the Court of the Regent Due d'Orleans.
Mr.. Mantell is an ideal romantic actor
In fact in his particular line he stands
alone and without a compeer. He has
selected a repertoire of plays eminently
ftted to his style and heroic physique,
and in so doing appeals to the admir-
ers of the stage heroes

PUPIL OF TOMMY RYAN.
Worlds Champions sparing Partner
is to Box Jim Judge.

The local sporting fraternity-that is,
the best informed of them-believe that
Jim Judge, the undefeated local welter-
weight, is going against the best man
in his experience when he meets Frank
BARLEY, of Binghamton, before the
American Sporting club March IA in
Music hall. There is ample reason for
holding BARLEY in high esteem. He
not only is a pupil of the worlds
champion welterweight, Tommy Ryan,
of Syracuse, but was for nearly year
that wonderful boxers sparring part
ner.
Some reason for the belief that Judge
has trouble on his hands appears in
the report that Jack tSkelly, of Brook
lyn, who as Judges manager, has been
trying the Scranton boy out in his re-
cent battles, has selected BARLEY as
the best boxer available to give the
Scrantonian a final test. BARLEY seems
entitled to consideration if from only
three of his battles, two draws of
twenty and fifteen rounds with Johnny
Loughlin, of Buffalo, and a victory in
twelve rounds over Frank Smith, of
Buffalo.
Some of Bartley's other victories

rounds; Mike Dwyer, of Binghamton,
2 rounds; Jersey" Sanford. of Brook
lyn, 6 rounds; Louis Jester, of Bing-
hamton, 2 rounds (quit); George Rob-
inson, of Brooklyn, rounds; Ed
Haley, of Chicago, 8 rounds; Walter
Nolan, of Chicago, IL rounds; Pat
Nagles, of st. GATHERINGS, Canada, 10
rounds; Billy Murphy, of New York, Q
rounds; Joe Crawford, of Denver, I
round; Joe Daniels, of Buffalo, 3
rounds; Jack Slavin, Of England, now
of Mayfield, l round.
BARLEY is now training with Jack
McDonough, of st. Paul, and Tim Hur-
ley, of Susquehanna. He and Judge
are to weigh in at 142 pounds at 9
o'clock on the afternoon of March IA.

"East Lynn'' at Linden.

East Lynn is a drama that never
seems to grow old, probably because
it's built on frailities and inconsistent
cies that are intensely human, or at
least are supposed to be intensely
human. The cold-blooded analyzer
may fail to appreciate why Lady Isa-
bell found it necessary to elope with
Sir Francis Levison, and blight her
own life and that of her husband, and
bring disgrace on her children, but
. there is an army of people who are
Aquite sure Lady Isabel was prompted
" very human impulses and are more
Ner strongly tempted to the belief that
pey would act in much the same man
er under similar circumstances. To
sure they would not, but for the
purposes of the play that makes no
Blfference They think it all very
human and that puts the audience in
Il receptive mood to start with; they
are ready to sympathize with Lady
Isabel and if they belong to the gentler
sex, to mingle their tears with hers.
East Lynn" is now being produced
at the Linden theatre by the stock
company of that house reinforced by
Charles Mckinley, a second cousin of
President Mckinley, who is cast for
excellent work yesterday is a fair
guage of his ability he will add no
little strength to the stock company.
He has a graceful stage presence, a
good voice and the nice judgment that
tells him just when he has brought a
scene to it's legitimate climax. Miss
Alice Kemp was much admired as
Lady Isabel and Madame Vine She
enacted the roles with commendable
naturalness and delicacy and with less
of the throaty gasps that the average
stage Lady Isabel finds it necessary
dulge in.
~. Mitchell made a manly and
H. 49, Archibald Carlysle and j. N
McI.eod bad a very congenial role as
LORD Mountsevern. He is a young man
who has promising future before him.
Miss Lucy Barker and Miss Rita Car
lysle also enacted the roles assigned
them in a manner worthy of special
mention.
The audiences that saw EAST Lynn"
yesterday afternoon and evening were
composed largely of ladies. In fact,
ever since the house opened a large
portion of its patronage has come from
the fair sex. East Lynn will be re-
peated today and tomorrow afternoons
and evenings.
