ToDAY'S FOOT BALL GAME.
Both Teams Are in the Pink of Con-
dition,

The largest crowd that has ever wit
messed foot ball game in northeastern
Pennsylvania will in all probability
throng Athletic park this afternoon to
witness the game between the St.
Thomas college eleven, of this city,
and the Wilkcs-Barre all college team
for the championship of northeastern
Pennsylvania.
The development of the st. Thomas
team has been along the line of the
most advanced and scientific style of
play. Perfect team work has been the
object of its every effort and ambition
ana the result of these efforts and am
hitiors is unison of play directness
o? attack and a conference of the play
Hrs in defense that leaves but little
to e desired.
The team is light, but what it lacks
in weight is more than compensated
for by skill and sand. Here are the
statistics giving the age, weight and
positions of the st. Thomas players:

Th Wilkes-B Barre eleven will COM

in the country, several of whom have
won fame heretofore on u Scranton
gridiron as members of victorious wy
oming Seminary elevens. 1t will be
Captained by that star quarter back
and brilliant little general, Dick Cen
dali. 1t will outweigh st. Thomas by
a big margin and its players are much
older than the college lads. 1t is
scarcely possible, however, that its
team work will come anywhere near
reaching the perfection which will be
shown by St. Thomas eleven.
Both teams are in the pink of condi-
tion and clean, fast game, fun of
trick plays and sensational runs is
probable. The game viii begin at
O'Clock sharp. The field will be roped
from end to end and no one will be
allowed to stand between the grand
stand and the Gridiron. This will in
sure a good view of the players to ev-
cry spectator. a number of policemen
will see that the field of play is kept
clear.

The production OF "Thc Gondoliers"
has gone into history and been record
ed as one of the most successful pro-
ductions of opera ever given by ANA
teurs. AS yet the exact financial re-
suit is not known but IL Is probable
that a very satisfactory sum will find
its way into the treasury of the Scran-
ton Free Kindergarten association.
AS an operate production "The Con
doliers" was a pronounced success.
A matinee was given in the afternoon
when n fair sized audience was pres
ent and last night but few vacant seats
were to be found in the house. The
performance was marked by great
dash and spirit and the participants
were frequently compelled to respond
to encores. Mr.. Sandersons solo in
the first act called forth four encores
and the beautiful Cachucha dance had
to be repeated several times before
the audience would be satisfied.
After the first act there was q loud
ana clamorOUs demand for the APP
pearance Of Henry DiXey, the man who
supervised the production of the opera.
In response to the calls Mr.. DiXey and
his wife, who assisted him in his
lahors, and Professor Pennington APP
peared before the curtain ana were
given warm "hand."
A speech was demanded of Mr.. Dixcy
but he contended himself with bowling
his thanks and retired. A. ID. Holland,
president of the Free Kindergarten as
sociation, in the name of that organic
alton gracefully thanked those who
participated in the affair for what they
did for that institution.
Those who occupied boxes last night
were Mrs. w. +. Hallstead, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. \. Scranton Mrs. y. l.. Tate,
Miss Eloisc Gilmore, Il. II. Watkins
and family, James Archibald and fam
lily. Miss Digna Reynolds, Miss Row
lands, Mr.. and Mrs. II. T.. Jones, Mr..
and Mrs. a. ID. Blackinton, Mr.. and
Mrs. IL. ]. Anderson.
GONDOLIER NOTES.
Kenneth Welles and Douglas Torrey
were clever little pages who added
TO the dignity of the ducal procession.
II. p. Simpson, who worked indc-
fatigably for the success of the opera,
is eminently pleased with the results
financially.
Fred Emerich has added much to the
rendition of the opera with his excel
lent voice and more than ordinary abil-
tiles in the line of comedy.
The cachucha was danced with the
finest effect of the week. The lighting
was perfection.
Miss Spencer's dancing in the first
act attracted much enthusiastic ap-
plause. For an amatuer she is eXcep-
tionally free from lf-consCiousness.
The work of the chorus has been
surpassed by few professional compan-
les that appeared here.

TORPEDO FLOTILLA

Reached the Cape Verd Islands, 1000
Miles From Porto Rico, on Saturday.
MADRID, April 4.-The statement
cabled Friday night that the torpedo
fotilla of Spain has arrived at Porto
Rico was taken from a newspaper
here. Investigation shows the an
nouncement to be erroneous. The
Spanish fiOtilla has arrived at the
Cape Verd islands and it is said
will proceed after coaling.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-The an
nouncement that the Spanish torpedo
fOtilla was at the Cape Verd is
lands, off the west coast of Africa. in
stead of at Porto Rico, was received
with good deal of satisfaction at the
navy department, which was without
information of its own on the where
abOuts of the flOtilla. The islands are
more than 1000 miles from Porto Rico
and it is the opinion of naval experts
that at the very best ten or twelve
days would be the least time within
which they could make the run across.

TIE x Ray.
It's Use on Board of War Vessels and on the
Field in Case of War.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April 4.-Lynde
Bradley, an expert electrician of this
city, has perfected plans for the use of
the X ray on board war vessels and on
the field, and in case of war will imme-
diately enlist in the govern
ment service. Mr.. Bradley says
that while it would be a simple
matter to bring the y ray into
use on war ship that considerable
difficulty would be attached to the in
PRODUCTION of the machine on the
field. A small engine, boiler and dyna-
mo would have to be mounted on
wheels for field use and the X-ray ma
chine mounted on a carriage. The APP
paratus, however, will be much lighter
and more portable than may be imag-
ined and his field apparatus could be
furnished in a week.
Il have been thinking of this matter
for MONTHS" said Mr.. Bradley Satur-
day, but have waited for hOstilities
to begin before taking any active
steps. The great help that the X Ray
would be to surgeons lies in the quick,
easy and painless method of locating a
bullet or splinter in mans body, a
fracture of bone, or other serious in
i,,y.,y

STORY UNTRUE
That Spain Has Purchased the ArmOred
Cruiser Carlo Alberto From Italy.

IhaC Spain has purchased the ArmOred
Cruiser Carlo Alberto From Italy.
ROME, April 4.-The report that the
Italian armored cruiser Carlo Alberto
mas been sold to Spain is untrue, as
the war ship belongs to the nation and
a law must be enacted before she can
be sold.
The real situation is that Commander
Willard H. Brownson, U. S. N. is ne
gotiating in behalf of the United States
for the purchase of the Basoir, which
is being built for Morocco at the Or
landO yards, but the consent of Mo-
rocco must be obtained before the sale
can be cOnsummated..
Commander Brownson is also negoti-
ating at the Ansaldo yards at Leghorn
for two torpedo boats and at the Odero
yards for a torpedo boat destroyer.
Spain is negotiating at the Ansaldo
yards for the purchase of the armored
cruiser Garibaldi and the armored
cruiser Varese from Argentin and is
understood to be concentrating the
purchase of the Varese. The prices of
the Garibaldi and Varese are SIS. 100. 600.
The rumor that the Italian third
class cruiser Umbria goes from Bahaia
to Barbados, on account of the Cuban
situation, is untrue.

house stated that the message would
be sent to congress on Wednesday, and
that it would recommend the recogni-
ton of the independence of Cuba, but
omit all reference to armed interven-
ton.
This, it is believed, will not be salts

picion that the president pursues this
course for the purpose of throwing the
