THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.


A scream of laughter from beginning to
end Is one of the ways in which my
Friend from India" has been described and
it's not very far from being correct either.
The farce was produced at the Lyceum
last night before and audience that
laughed until it was tired over the abb
surdities with which 1t teens.
Frederick Bond was again seen last
night in the role of Erastus Underholt,
retired pork packer, in which he created
so much amusement when the farce was
last seen here. There were many changes
in the remainder of the cast, John r..
Ward as A. Keen Shower a theosophical
barber who becomes Charles Underholt's s
friend from India to tide over an emer-
gency but is forced by circumstances to
assume the role permanently, realized the
possibilities of his role fully and made
the most of them
Joseph Adelman, Louis Bishop Hall,
Nita Aleen, Helen Renner, May Vokes,
Meta Maynard and Clara Hathaway
helped the fun making along.

LITTLE GIRL WAS
TERRIBLY BURNED
Annie Dolphin Thought She Would Help
Her Sick Mother.
SHE TRIED TO RAKE THE STOVE
A Live Coal Flew Ont and Set Fire to
the Little Ones Night Dress and in
an Instant She Was Enveloped in
in Fiames-- Mother Was Badly
Burned While Trying to Save Her
Daughter from Injury-- Get
tings Was Also Burned.

Anna Dolphin, six years of age,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick
Dolphin, of 1918 Plttston avenue. was
fatally burned yesterday morning
about 7.45 o'clock at the residence of
her parents. Death came as a well
come relief about IL o'clock
The accident occurred while the little
girl was trying to assist her mother.
Mrs. Dolphin had been i'll for several
days and did not rise early yester-
day morning. Little Anna crept out
of her bed and went down stairs in
her night dress to fix the fire. Anna
took a raker and as she had often
seen done attempted to rake the stove.
A hot coal fell out and ignited the
wooden night clothes she wore.
In an instant the flames sprang up
and her screams brought the mother
to her. The distracted woman at
tempted to smother the flames by clasp
ing her child in her arms. James
Gettings, employed next door in A. j..
Mulderig's tailoring establishment,
heard the screens and ran in. He
seized a strip of carpet and wrapped
1t about mother and child. The flames
were subdued but they had left the
marks of obstruction.
The child's face was almost unrec-
ognizable and the little hands which
had been used to perform the labor
were denuded of flesh. The lower limbs
and the body were badly bruised.
Neighbors Immediately summoned
medical aid. Druggist d. w. Humph-
reys reached the scene in few mo-
ments with cooling lotions, etc. Drs.
Walsh, Quinn and Haggerty followed
In short order. There was little to be
done other than alleviate the suffer-
ingS and care for the prostrated moth
er.
Anna, however, did not become un-
conscious, but seemed fully aware of
the affair. She begged piteously for
water. Her demise was no doubt due
to inhalation of the flames and the
terrible shock. She would have been
horribly disfigured.
The mothers arms, hands and bos-
ON are burned in some spots severely,
but not seriously. The shock has COM
pletely Frustrated her and fears for
her condition are entertained. Get
tings, the tailor. also had his hands
slightly burned.
A sad accident in connection with
the affair is that the father who is a
conductor in the employ of the Trac-
tion company was on the South Scran-
ton run and came along cityward just
few minutes after the catastrophe.
He was told of the happening but had
to take his car in and return. He
probably will never make such a try
ing run again.

An elopement of prominent young
married man, Horace Ellis, and his
wife's sister, Miss Mary uammel, at
Moosic early Monday morning, has set
that little town by the ears. Added
cause for the gossip is given from the
fact that the town did not contain
two better known young persons. The
elopment followed a discovery by Mrs.
Ellis which would have made it inn
possible for either of the principals to
reside any longer in that vicinity, and
Mrs. Ellis friends say that the dis
appearance of her husband and sister
was the best conclusion of a bad piece
of business.
Ellis is 26 years old. He was a ship
ping clerk for the Pennsylvania Coal
company. Until a year ago he was
employed at the Hillside Coal and Iron
company's Moosc colliery, of which
his father, now deceased, was once
the superintendent. After his fathers
death Ellis succeeded him as trus-
tee of the Moosic Presbyterian church.
Mrs Ellis parents reside at Moosic
and are well known. She and Ellis
were married six years ago.
Mr.. and Mrs Ellis were prominently
identified with and were regular in at
tendance at the church services. They
took an active interest in the social
affairs of the church and the town. 1t
was supposed they had lived happily
together, but the two families of the
husband and wife knew that q year
ago there was a quarrel, occasioned
by Mrs. Ellis suspicious that her sis
ter, Mary, and her husband hau been
indiscreet in their attentions to one
another. There was family council
and explanations at that time and the
matter was settled without publicity.
Mary, the sister, continued her visits
to the Ellis home with Mrs. Ellis con-
sent. She very frequently accompan-
led Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis to church, and
often remained at the house for the
night. That programme was carried
out Sunday night Before morning
Mrs. Ellis made her discovery and
Ellis and his sister-in-law left the
house.
An effort was made TO ascertain by
what means Ellis and Miss Gammel
left the town. That could not be
learned, nor is their destination known
They were seen in Avoca early Mon
day morning and are thought to have
departed on the Erie and Wyoming
Valley from West Avoca, or the Della
ware, Lackawanna and Western road
from Lackawanna. The two families
have concluded to leave the plans of
the elopers undisturbed.

The Girl from Paris.

Edward E. Rice's production of The
Girl from Paris is to be the attraction
at the Lyceum theater for Thursday next,
Feb. 10, and the fair and fascinating lady
from the French metropolis will no doubt
prove as attractive here as she did for
thousand nights in London and three
hundred nights in New York city, where
the Herald Square theater was crowded
nightly by her admirers. She also aroused
the most pronounced enthusiasm in Phil
adelphia and delighted the playgoers of
the Quaker city for fifty-siX nights and
will return there for an indefinite run in
March. "It is to laugh" is a phrase that
the German inn-keeper repeats a number
of times to tell the humorous intent Of
what happens in 1.-The Girl from Paris"
but 1t is not necessary, for laughter per-
vades the performance in the most pro-
nounced character.

OF CROWNED HEADS.
Stories OF tho Queen Of Portugal, Ex-
Queen Of the Belgians.

From the London Post.
The Queen of Portugal recently, while
out walking with a Lady of Honor in
the environs of Lisbon, heard cries for
assistance coming from a neighboring
wood. She went to see what was the
matter, and found that a wood-cutter
had been injured by a branch of u fall
ing tree striking him on the head.
Queen Amelie, who had studied medi-
cine, attended to the mans injuries,
and then, with her companion, assisted
him to reach his cabin. Later on the
Queen called to see how her patient
was. "Then you are doctor, madame,
since you know how to take care of
me?" asked the wood-cutter, who did
not know his benefactress. "Yes, my
good man." was the reply. "I am very
sorry for that" continued the wood
sutter, because l will never be able to
pay all l owe you. But you must give
me your address, and as soon as l can
go out I will bring you a basket Of
fresh eggs and butter by way of
thanks" The Queen replied evasively,
and the surprise OF the wood-cutter
may be imagined when he subsequent
ly learned the rank of his lady physic-
ian.
Gratitude of a somewhat similar ma
ture inspired the cabman who last
winter had an accident near Monte
Carlo, and was assisted by the EN-
peror of Austria, who happened to be
passing on foot. The cabdriVer was so
pleased that he said: II am going
back to Nice, and If you like, I'll give
you lift. One good turn deserves
another"
The Queen of the Belgians and Prn-
cess Clementine during the summer re-
side at Spa, and daily take long drives
in a pony-cart. One of their most re-
cent adventures took place at a farm
house. where they called to buy glass
of milk. Nobody but an old paralyzed
woman was in the house, and she re-
piled that no milk was left in the jugs,
and that she was unable to go to milk
a COW. Never mind" said the Queen,
"if you will allow me I will go to the
pasture. Just tell me where the jars
are" But, my dear lady, you are
from the town, and you will never be
able to milk a cow" objected the old
woman. She was, however, mistaken,
for little later her Majesty returned
with a half-filled jug. Meantime, Prin-
cess Clementine had laid on the table
three bowls, a loaf and the needful
knives and plates. The old farmers S
wife was served by the Princess, who,
it appears, greatly enjoyed the adven-
ture,

We believe that death in itself is not

death. 1t is wise for us who must die
to ask, since death does not end all,
what comes after death?
Thc inspired writer whose words we
have for text, says that after death
comes Jndgcmant. "lt is appointed
unto men once to die, and after this
the Judgment" believe it ON the
authority of the word of God, on the
universal conviction and the universal
fear OF the human heart, on the ana
logy OF things here in this world.
It is Il reasonable belief that the I'M
