SECOND GoNDoLIER NIGHT.
Another Large and Fashionable Au-
dience Delighted by the Opera.

Last nights production of the Con
dolierS was witnessed by an audience
which filled all the reserved seats in
the theater and nearly all of the gall
lery. AS on the opening night the
personnel of the gathering represent
ed ScrantOn's best known people, upon
all of whom was impressed the fact
that the opera was sung in something
much better than the usual amateur
style. 1t is that air Of excellence and
smoothness which, more than personal
interest in the performers, has caused
the opera to be received with so much
favor.
The chorus divided the honors with
the principals last night and the whole
created such a good impression that
the clamOr for seats for this after
Moons and tonight's performance is
found to be beyond the capacity of the
house.
Children under 16 years of age may
obtain reserved seats at so cents in any
part Of the house for the matinee per-
fOrmanCe this afternoon. The sale of
seats for today's two performances
continues at Powell's music store, on
pOsite the theater. Gallery tickets at
25 cents are for sale at the box office.

BISHOP HoBAN ATTENDED.
Addressed the Catholic Historical So
ciety Last Night.

An unusually interesting programme
was observed at last nights meeting
Of the Catholic Historical society and
Newman Magazine clubs at their par"
lors in the Guernsey building Bishop
Horan was present by special invita-
tiun and made an encouraging adj
dress to the members at the cOnclu-
sion of the exercises.
The papers included treatises on the
subjects THE Crusldes," Miss Gather
inc Haggerty; Effect of Ritualism on
Catholicity." Miss Sarah Walsh;
Catholic Sisters as Nurses Miss
Mary OBrien; Maryland, the Cradle
Of Catholicity." William L. Shean. y
review of the secular magazines for
November IVES given by Miss Eva Bar
rett, and a song by Miss Nellie Flynn
proved pleasant diversion.
in commenting upon the papers Bish-
op Hoban touched interestingly upon
several ofVthe IDEAS thas were suggested
AS to the idea of the common schools
as put in practice in the United States.
he made the statement, that its origin
was with the Jesuits and not i'm Eng
land as SO frequently stated. The
PILGRIMS of Massachusetts found their
prototype in Holland. 1t is matter
of history that Stakeholder Of Hol-
land. who first instituted the common
schools of that country sent out Il
commission to examine into the Jesuit
schools along the Rhine and adopted
for Holland the system the commission
found IN vogue at these Jesuit schools.
If the mooted points in United states
history are studied from a true histor-
ical source, he said ii would be found
that almost all the important work
towards the foundation of true liber-
ty can be traced to- the Catholic
church. Referring to the present cru
sade again the Jews in France, which
was touched upon in Miss HaSgerty's
paper, he said it is not to be attributed
to differences of religion, but purely
and solely to economic reasons. In
concluding he spoke commendatory of
the work of the society ard urged it
to persevere along the lines it has
laid out.
The meeting was attended by a
throng that taxed the capacity of the
society's quarters, despite the unpro-
pitious weather. Next Thursday
| night the society will give a recep-
| ton.

Lively comment was occassioned
in the city hall and among council
men and in local financial circles yes
terday by The Tribunes announcement
that the Lackawanna Telephone COM
pany's charter and other rights had
been purchased by a well known CO.
terie of monayed men who intended at
tomorrow nights meeting of common
council to begin an effort TO secure
n franchise. something which the orig
inal Lackawanna organization failed
TO do after a bitter and memorable
councilmaniC fight.
The news was not news TO the coun-
cilmcn, at least not to many of them
in both branches. The project has
been broached to them during the
past few days, but they were asked
not to discuss it with outsiders. The
new promoters realize that they will
have an uphill fight on their hands
to secure the franchise and that pre-
mature publicity would not help them.
Hence the secrecy maintained until
the publication of The Tribune's story
yesterday.
NOT PLAUSIBLE.
1t was argued yesterday. but with
little or no foundation, that the new
organization was merely a blind to
cover IL second effort of the original
company TO get the franchise. This
does not seem plausible from the fact
that the individuals now interested
have never had any business, politi-
| cal or other Affiliations with those
back of the old company.
1t is held that the new company
| does not have in view the purpose
| of securing a franchise to be held as
| Il weapon for forcing the Central Penn
! sylvania company to pay money to
| keep the former out of business. In
| support of this argument it is stated
| hy a gentleman who knows the plans
of the new company, that it is willing
| to give bonds to the extent of $4,000
as a pledge that the company will be
| ready to serve not less than six hum
| dred subscribers Within a reasonable
period.
| The LackaWanna company had
! nearly eight hundred contracts with
| prospective subscribers. These con-
| tracts will be operative for length
| of time more than sufficient for the new
company to establish it's exchange
plant and build it's lines, underground
or overhead. These contracts come to
the new company with the charter,
corporate rights-in fact, every inter-
est that the old LackaWanna company
| possessed.
SOME UNCERTAINTY
The only uncertainty about the
plans of the new organization is in
reference to beginning an attempt tC
secure a franchise. The Tribune is
reliably informed that if the attempt
is begun it will be pushed with as
much or more vigor than characterized
the attempt of the early company.
There remains the possibility that
the effort may be deferred until after
the spring election. when councils will
have at least a different individual
complexion than now. Another con-
| tingenCy, either in the event of ;
defeat in trying to get the franchise
now or in deferring the attempt until
next spring, is that the new company
may take a hand in the councilmaniC
elections, having in view the election
of councilmen favorable to the COM
pany's plans.
| Considering the resources and politi'
cal influence and strength of the new
promoters, they might prove an i'm
portant factor in the campaign.

has ever been in Rotten Row, or il
Hyde Park, he has seen the best breC
English women, the wives and daugh-
ters of Peers, Archbishops, and great
! Commoners, riding on horseback
wearing the silk hat, which is the sac
red emblem of every well bred British
man; called the plug hat" by some
/ and the "stove pipe" by others. But
/ it is apparel that pertaineth into a
man Also, within the last twenty
five years, the straw and felt hats Of
the same material and shape used by
men, have come into common use
among women.
Under the Bishops Mosaic law, a
pious British woman in wearing that
which pertaineth to a man" becomes
like the Advertiser, a wicked Pagan.
When she appears before the Record
ing Angel, he solemnly reads to her
from the open Book, Princess Bea-
trice addicted to wearing a mans hat,
Forbidden in Deuteronomy 22-5. Away
to Tophet with herr And to the next
soul standing for judgment: Mrs
Scruggs, always wore a Salvation
Army bonnet. Give her a harp"
If the Mosaic law is now in force
regarding dress, why is it not in force
regarding food, Cand the Jews say it
isl and is the Bishop who eats bacon
or ham a miserable Pagan like our
selves? Without inquiring too closely
into the raiment worn at night by the
Bishop, we ask him, in the interests
of truth, of humanity, and the salvation
of the race, whether he sleeps with his
leggings or boots on, a distinctly mas
culine dress, or does he envelop his
classic outlines in lengthy night |
shirt. which is a distinctly female APP
parel? When Paganism or Christian
ity turn upon the fashion of dress, an
item of this kind has a solemn and
far reaching value. OF what cOnse- |
quence is the law forbidding the inn
portation of opium, if the Mosaic law
regarding dresses and hats is openly
violated, and the streets, the resi-
dences, the churches are full of per
fshing Pagans," and we are all in the
outer darkness?
AS political conditions have sudden
Iy changed, the Bishop should abandon
these people at once and forever.

POETIC AND WOMANISH SENTI
MENTALITY.

1T is then poetic justice that a
Maine man should take us in charge.
X the very fact that Harold NJ.
SewaIl was here at this time, in the
position he now occupies, is poetic JUS
tice." 1.-THE Starr
1T is merely a little bit Of old
wOmanish sentimentality, this effort to
keep the Hawaiian 1ag."-CThe Starr
To put over us a Governor, capable
indeed, patriotic as an American, and
friendly to us, because he comes from
Maine, is, it seems, poetic justice"
many thousands of us were born, and
with which many most pleasant memo
ries are tenderly associated, is, it seems
only ''beastly prose" and "old woman
ish sentimentality."
Edward Everett Hale told the story,
which has gone into many languages,
of the American naval officer, who
cursed the flag under which he was
born, and for this, was forever kept
at sea and never permitted to touch
the land which was covered with the
flag.
The author of this mild curse, upon,
or sneer, if you please, at the Ha-
waiian flag, was not born under it,
though it protected him for many a
year. 1t should have received a little
of that poetic justice" which has been
so freely lavished upon a stranger to
it. Good politics" would have sug-
gested a better way of treating these
m alters
