Imperishable.

The Christmas bells will silent be,
The Christmas lights grow dim.
The brightness faded from the tree
May leave 1t gaunt and grim.
But Christmas cheer was never SO;
It's echo fingers on,
With memories Of long ago
And hope of joys to dawn.
So. Ger all time its might extends
And ready homage wins;
AS one glad Christmas season ends
Another straight begins.

THEATRICAL.
"The Village Postmaster"

The "Village Postmaster" will be
presented at the Lyceum this evening.
Just a few kind things said of the
'Nillage Postmaster" by the press.
The New York Herald: New York
has never seen a better drama of
rural life than the Village Postmaster:'
to say that it made a hit expresses it
family" The New York World called
it another "Old Homestead" and said
that no other play of the same kind
had been presented with such care.
The New York Sun; 1.-The Village
Postmaster is a play like the old
Homestead and Shore Acres.'" The
Boston Globe: Like a bit of nature
transferred to the stage, or like a vaca-
tion in the country" The Boston Her.
aid; THE play scored a success and
during the four acts the audience grew
positively delirious, laughing at the
comical side and enjoying the realism
to the echo" The Providence Tele-
gram; The Village Postmaster
may be easily set down as the most
thorough and interesting presentation
of farm scene life that has ever been
concocted." Archie Boyd and a COM
petent company will interpret the va
rious characters.

ARMY AND NAVY FOOT BALL.
Interesting Contest at Franklin Field.
Victory for West Point.

Philadelphia, Dec. 3.--Yesterday af-
ternoon the representatives of the
army and navy met on the gridiron
at Franklin field before n crowd Of 25.-
000 The army in the persons of eleven
stalwart young men from West Point
won a glorious victory over the navy,
as championed by foot ball team from
the United States Naval academy at
Annapolis, by a score of II to 5.
Besides the sturdy boys on the field
the army and navy were more than
represented by grizzled old soldiers
and sailors in the stands. Secretary of
War Elihu Root was present cheering
him self hoarse for West Point, and
Secretary Long was also on the field,
vociferously championing the cause of
the middes. Admiral McNair, who
was superseded in the Asiatic squadron
by Admiral Dewey. was present at the
game, as were likewise many other
prominent naval officers, among whom
may be mentioned in particular Fight
ing Bob" Evans, of the good ship Iowa,
Commander wainwright, formerly Of the
Gloucester, and Captain C. c. Phillips.
Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith occupied a box, as did also Sir
lHt DIlllSn dl1DdS-
sador.
On the army side of the field were
General Wesley Merritt. General Miles
and many other of the famous old war
horses.
The game was a brilliant one, full
of exciting and pretty plays. West
Point was deemed the weaker of the
two teams before the game started. but
displayed an unexpected strength, and
trounced the navy boys In most beauti-
full fashion.
West Point experienced no difficulty
at all in breaking the navy line. and
did not try to run the ends to any great
extent, simply carrying the leather
down the field by hitting the line and
tearing through it in terrific shape.
Rockwell, Clark and Casad all PLAYED
fine games for West Point, and Wade
put up strong fight at full back for
the navy. 1t looked like a shut-out

CARBONDALE.
INSURANCE ADJUSTED.
Cycle Club Gets s3es-The Effort to
Change Quarters.

The loss on the Cycle clubs furni-
ture, recently damaged by fire in the
Watt house on Lincoln avenue was
adjusted Saturday afternoon, the club
being allowed s36S. 1t was found upon
inspection that many of the leather
pieces which appeared to be in bad
condition can be restored to their for
mer beauty and durability by a few
dollars each. one hundred dollars Yves
allowed on the piano, but that amount
will not cover the loss on the instru
ment.
The club, having an opportunity to
secure more spacious and elegant
quarters, is negotiating with Landlord
W. w. Watt for a termination of the
lease, which viii not expire until May,
1902. Mr.. Watt is much pleased with
his tenants and with the rental of $50
a month, and he refuses to let the or
ganization go save for a consideration
of $4O0. The club is willing to pay any
actual loss Mr.. Watt may sustain by
its removal, but cannot figure it up to
quite that amount.
The chances, however, favor taking
the handsome VanBergan residence on
North Church street, which may be
rented for three or five years. The
consent of the club for an increase of
dues has been asked and will doubtless
be unanimously granted. The increase
is to be for one year only and will be
applied to the payment of Mr.. Watts
loss.
Much enthusiasm is felt over the
proposed move, and a number of new
members will be added at once.

GRIDIRoN GOSSIP.

Williamsport High school, which re-.
Gently played a tie game with the Scran-
ton High school, or Thanksgiving, lined
up against the Newberry Athletic club of
Williamsport, Thanksgiving Day, and
was victorious by the score of $40.
The feature of the game was the work
of Vail, the Williamsport fullback When
the eleven was in Scranton this Young
man made a huge hit, by his line-buck-
ing, punting ana place kicking. In fact
he did the best punting Of any player
that has stepped on a Scranton field this
season.
In this Thanksgiving game, out of
Williamsport's four touchdowns. he
scored three. He kicked the goals from
all four touchdown, and in addition
dropped two goals from the field. Alto
gether he alone scored 30 out of Will
Transports "a points.
This is remarkable work and it is not
at all unlikely that if this promising
young player ever goes to college he will
win laurels on one of the larger teams.

"The Man o. Wars Man" "

Mr. Shea and THE Man-o- Wars
Man are both attractions that de-
serve crowded houses at the Academy
of Music this evening. This play is in
tensely American. II is played by an
American star, written by an Amer
ican, and on an American subject; and
no matter in what section Of the coun-
try it is played the same enthusiasm
is always manifested.
This play is not fiction, but a reality.
We see hundreds of young men in this
glorious republic of ours in real life
rising from poverty and obscurity to
fame and influence yearly. Mr.. Shea,
in the star part, has scored the great
est success Of his career and for the
simple reason that he has made it a
real living character, and not one OF
the oVerdrawn heroes that are so COM
mon in melodrama.
