"At the White Horse Tavern"

Scranton is to have Daniel and
Charles Frohman's latest New York
success, "At the White Horse Tavern"
next week at the Lyceum with the
original cast of nearly forty people.
The same piece in German by Blumen-
thai and Kadelburg kept Berlin In
roars of laughter for a year. Sydney
Rosenfeld's English version at Wall
lacks made the hit of the season. Il
being equally understood by gallery,
dress circle and orchestra stalls. Love,
laughter sentiment, picturesque set
tings and artistic accuracy, with a
story so simple yet interesting, made
"At the White Horse Tavern" New
York's most delightful entertainments
this season; so say the folks of Man
haitian. The folks of Scranton will
have the piece presented at the Ly-
ceum this evening with the very clev-
er people who created the parts In
New York, with the scenery including
the realistic steamboat, not forgetting
the rainstorm that causes the curtain
of the first act to be raised many times
with laughter and applause so
hearty.

and the Beanstalk," which for the past
two or three seasons has electrified all
the large cities of our country, is an
nounced to appear at the Lyceum next
Saturday afternoon and evening. This
will be the occasion of the first visit of
this widely heralded production to this

THEATRICAL.
Marc, the Magician.

The Brockway entertainment course
gave the third of its attractions last
night, when Marc, the magician, APP
peared before a select and representa-
tive audience Of Scrantonians. Marc Is
rather versatile genius, and in the
course of the evening, In addition to
his acts of necromancy, gave selections
upon various instruments, including,
among others, the Terry guitar. the
Marimbo pipes and the Gogglefep, an
instrument with only one string.
Besides this he introduced the art of
shadowgraphy, which consisted in
throwing on a screen black silhouettes.
representing various objects,and which
were caused only by the shadow of his
hands. He also made several lightning
sketches and succeeded in producing on
his easel a picture which, when in
verted, proved tolerably good marine
view.
1t was as a magician, in particular,
that Marc made his hit with the audi
ence. While his tricks were not of
startling newness, and did not possess
any remarkable originality, still they
were very cleverly performed and in
every case left the spectators in COM
plete state of mystilication. Marc per-
formed Hermann's old egg trick with
huge success, taking three or four eggs
| from his colored servitor's mouth. The
| magician completed his evenings en-
tertainment by inveigling Attorney
| George NJ. Watson on the stage. He
began operations by shaking about a
| dozen packs of cards out of Mr.. Wat
| sons clothes. He followed this up by
removing from some pars Of his vic
TINS person an almost endless roll of
| paper. As a climax. a brace of ducks
was removed from Mr.. Watson's an
atomy, and fearing that a baby rhinoc-
eros might be discovered somewhere on
him, he then beat a retreat, leaving in
his wake a boundless line of paper
The next entertainment In this course
takes place Wednesday, Nov. %, when
VIII Carleton, the poet, will appear at
the Lyceum.

CARBONDALE.
THE NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY

At the next meeting of the common
council an ordinance will come up for
first reading amending an ordinance
entitled AN ordinance granting a
franchise to the Carbondale Telephone
company, approved March 2Sth, 1872
The amendment simply extends the
time for erecting and putting the sys-
tenn in operation one year-to Dec 81
1900. The system must be extensive
enough to supply at least 200 subscrio-
ers. The delay has been occasloneu
by an advance in the price of mate
rials, which necessitated an increase
in the capital stock.

woodsman had been reckless in his open
violation, and it was necessary to make
an example of him. He was brought into
court, and after the government had
stated his case, the Old man, who had no
lawyer, asked to be allowed TO 90 upon
the stand. He was told that this would
render him liable TO answer any questions.
but he insisted.
''Well. Uncle John" said Clayton. "dld
you really make any whisky in your stiI?'
Henry" replied the old man. with pa
thetlc tone, II know'd your pa voted for
your pa every time he ran for jedge. Ard
Henry your pa would never have axed

An Odd story Adapted,

When has the Irishman ever lacked for

street car when two women got on, says
the Louisville Times. They looked at
him as if demanding that he give them the
seat. so they might sit together. but he
didn't see the mint, and while one had to
founce herself down by him, the other
took seat just opposite. Then the roast
began:
Did you go away this summer, Mrs.
Jones?" asked No l.
NO she said. II was going to Allan.
