IL will thus be seen that the prices
OF sheep and wool have increased
e.nce $50 and are higher than they
were IN 1898 in beth eases. The flock
has Increased IN number almost
double since 1875 In this state. and
the sheep industry can be counted
upon as one worthy of more note than
Il has received when considering the
growth Of the resources Of the Ever
green State.
In this connection 1t is well TO con-
sder the sheep industry of the whole
country and the worlds wool produce
ton. There were 2?.e55.360 sheep in
The United States on January i, 1888.
Loss reduced the number 10 81. s7l ,9lt
On April !. Taking $50 as the aver
age weight of fleece, the clip this
year would be "a 723 o5s pounds. Add
ing 100000 pounds OF pulled wool
would give the total product OF 26i,-
7S3 tssS pounds, against the 1891 clip of
25s la3, 81 pounds. The increase Of
sheep over last years flock on April
Was S57.GZ7 sheep.

In THE PLAY HOUSES.
The First Production,

Oliver Byron and Kate Byron will
tonight at the Academy Of Music pre-
sent for the first time on any stage q
one-act comedy written for them. The
play is said to be of the farcical order,
and those who have been present at
the rehearsals of the skit say that the
parts tit both Oliver and Kate Byron
like glove. The Byrons seldom play
short plays, but this being such a light
one, Mr.. Byron resolved to produce il
for his many Scranton friends for the
first time. We give the name and cast
of the comedy: THE Anxious Widow"
The Man, Mr.. Oliver Byron; the
Tramp, Fred. Warren; the Waiter,
Grant Laferty; the Widow, Mrs. Kate
Byron; the Cousin, Gertrude Dion
Magill," which win be played in con-
junction with two acts Of the Ups and
Downs of Life" and one act of Across
the Continent"

"Vagabondia."

Mr.. and Mrs, Russ Whytal, who will
be pleasantly remembered for their
really artistic efforts in For Fair Vir-
ginia," have been wisely chosen as the
special New Years attraction at the
Lyceum, and will be seen in their new
romantic play of the eighteenth CEN
tury, entitled 'Vagabondia," In which
they are said to have entirely congenial
roles and are assisted by company
of exceptionally talented actors. Mr..
and Mrs. Whytal are always cordially
welcome in Scranton, and it is a fore
gone conclusion that their holiday en-
gagement for both matinee and night
will be substantial reward for their
earnest, painstaking endeavors. Elab-
crate costumes, special scenery and all
the details which insure an absolutely
enjoyable entertainment are positively
promised

Skin of the Heaviest Porker on
Record Made Into Footballs.

Belvidere, n. j., Dec. 27-The dis
tinction of raising the largest hog on
record is claimed by a farmer living
near here. A few days ago he brought
to market and sold to Bert Grover, a
local butcher, a porker tipping the
scales at just 100 pounds.
The pig was so heavy on its feet that
it was almost unable to walk, and an
improvised derrick had to be rigged up
to get il into the wagon TO be hauled
to market. The immense hide of the
pig was sold for foot ball coverings.

New York, Dec. 27.-Stocke were strong
and higher today with business well dis
tribUted. The Improvement in railway
quotations was from ~ to IL points gener-
ally and even greater in the specialtieS.
Shifting of speculative accounts and
proft-taking were at times responsible
for hucvtuations downward but the tone
throughout was confident The Grang-
ers were more largely traded in than of
late at advancing prices. The closing was
strong and slightly under the best, the
aggregate transactions having reached
nearly million and establishing the larg-
est total for the year. Total soles were
951 800 shares.
