ARCHIBALD.

A regular meeting of the school board
was held last evening. All members
We're present, Mr.. McAndrew, of the
visiting committee, reported having
visited all the night schools that are
now in session in the borough and he
found the average attendance to be
about 115 and the order maintained in
all the schools was nearly perfect. The
following bills were ordered paid:
Henry Propst, committee work, $l4.75;
T. j. Kielty, committee work, Sc; p. j.
O'Rourke, committee work, s6; Henry
Revels, lumber, S5.5s; NJ. w. LOTUS.

freight, 80 cents; Werner Book com.
pany, books, $500. 1t was decided to

An increase of 50 per month was or
dered in Mrs, Finnerty's salary, jani-

Tho Shea Company.

At the Academy Of Music last night
the largest crowd seen in that popular
playhouse In wears was present at the
opening of the engagement of Thomas
T.. Shea and his company. The bill Sc
lected for the opening night was THE
Man-o' Wars Man." and the way 1t
pleased the audience was demonstrated
by the howls of delight from the gal
lery that mingled with the vigorous
hand-clapping in the pit.
"The Man-o'- Wars Man" is a patri
otic American war drama, the central
figure OF which is Captain Jack Con-
way of the United states cruiser New
Orleans. This is the role that Mr.. Shea
essays and he made a great success OF
it last night. Mr.. Shea is a very ver-
satile actor. but there Is something in
. the brave manly spirit Of Captain Jack
Conway that has made the role peaul-
iarly suited to him. His work last night
was received with great favor.
Mr.. Shea has with him one of tn
strongest companies he has ever
brought to this city. Among the mem
bers of 1t whose work last night Is to
be commended were Henry Testa.
James ]. Cassidy, Alfred Rumble,
Teresa Deagle, Charlotte Burkett and
Leslie Haskell The play was very
handsomely staged 1t will be repeated
this afternoon. and tonight the COM
pany will be seen in OR. Jekyll and

THEATRICAL.
"The Village Postmaster" "

A good, wholesome, old-fashionel
kind of a drama is THE Village Post
master" which was seen at the Ly-
ceum last night by an audience that
was limited only by the capacity of
the house. 1t was an audience that
went away well pleased with the per-
formance, many voting II the most
faithful reproduction Of rural life that
they ever saw on the stage
In the second act was a realistic do
nation party to the village minister ct
which the youths of the village danced
quadrilles to the music of the village
musician, who fiddled and called off
the figures with a skill born OF long
experience at such work. This par
ticular fidler has been with the COM
psny only few weeks. He spent the
greater part of his life furnishing mu-
sic for the social functions of some
Of the Adirondack villages and is a ia
miliar figure to many persons who have
visited the mountains in search of
health or game. His performance OF
his old violin last night was one Of the
features of the performance. In the
third act there was a thrashing ma
chine in operation in a farm yard and
nothing was wanted to make the pic
ture of farm life complete No detail
had been overlooked.
But the play does not depend on its
realism for it's success. There is a we'll
told and interesting, If somewhat con-
ventional story and very good COM

HCourted Into Court

will be devoted to the merriest of
farces, "Courted Into Court" from the
pen of that most successful writer of
farces, John ]. McNally, and given by
those clever vaudeville stars, Clifford

ceptional company of farceurs. Maud
Huth with her hearty style of comedy
her breezy adaptability and magnetic
personality is a great favorite in this
style of comedy, as she was in vaude-
Vile. Billy Clifford fairly revels in a
chappie character that allows him
full scope for his clever comedy and
artistic dancing while one of his songs,
Reggie. the Reigning Rage" has the
swing and dash of a SOusa march and
is fast becoming one of the strong hits
of the season.
Prominent members of the company
are Oscar Dane, John Price, Eugene
Wiener, Howard Lang, r. ]. Moye,
John H. McCauley, Nellie v. Nichols,
Vera King, May Olinger. Pearl Ridings,
