"Two Orphans Tonight

The production of Little Lord Fauntle-
roy" by the Irene Myers Company at Fer
gusOn's theatre last night was one of the
most interesting and pleasing of the present
season. Little Irene's portrayal of the title
role was an artistic piece of work that
showed the little star to be an actress of rare
talent. The entire cast was well adapted to
the production. Walter Wilson was ex-
eellent as the crusty old Earl and added to
his laurels as "The Silver King" on the pre-
ceding night. o. W. Roches role of attor-
ney to the Earl was also a commendable
piece of work. He is perfectly at home in
characters involving elegance Of action and
suavity. Miss Della Leon cannot be too
highly commended for her impersonation of
Dearest. Her Interpretation was true to the
instincts of a painstaking, devoted and sac
rifcing mother and contributed in no small
measure to the successful production. "The
Two Orphans" will be produced tonight and
Little Irene will essay the role of Louise the
| blind girl.

Some Lively License Court Contests Are
Predicted.
REMONSTRABCES FILED TO-DAY
Applicants objected to Because
They Have Conducted Base
ment and First Floor
Places Under one
License

POTTsvILLE, Dec. 2s, 1899
As the time for the annual term of liquor
license court approaches the number Of re-
monstrances against applications increase
and the prediction is made that there will be
some spirited contests before the court when
it convenes next month, as several of the
licenses involved will receive the special at
tention of the court. Some of the cases are
those which were placed before the District
Attorney, but Judge Bechtel concluded that
it would save time and expense to have all
considered before the license court instead Of
presenting them to the next Grand Jury.
S. G.. NJ. Hollopeter, Esq, Of Shenandoah,
representing the Law and Order Society. was
here to-day and filed circumstances against
seven Of the license applicants. He stated
that no more would be fled to-day, but a
big batch was in course Of preparation.
The remOnstrances filed are alike in all the
seven cases referred and to set forth that the
said (naming the applicant during the whole
Of the year 1899 conducted on the first floor or
main part, of his licens ed house, retail liquor
bar, and also sub-let, caused or allowed, under
his said license a retail liquor bar, during the
whole of said period, to be conducted in the
cellar basement of said licensed house That
two separate aud distinct retail liquor bars,
and liquor drinking places have been estab-
lished and conducted during the whole OF
the year 1899. under the liquor license
granted to the said for the year 1899.
For the reasons aforesaid, the re-granting of
the said liquor license is demonstrated
against.

ANOTHER WAR IMPENDING.
Relief That Russia and Japan VIII
Fight in the Spring.


Victoria, B. c., Dec. 2S.-The City of
London arrived here yesterday from
the Orient with news of a prospective
war between Russia and Japan. Her
officers say that all Japan is now Of the
opinion that hostilities will break out
between these two nations in the
spring. Before the steamer left Japan
the insular kingdom was buying up
great quantities of rice and even going
so far as to make arrangements for
transports to make a demonstration in

sides in Japanese naval circles. A
Shanghai report says that Russia has
dispatched fleet of three warships to
