AT THE THEATER.
MISUNDERSTANDING Playing to Large
Audiences

hNiNWtA-MeAf1hAe fia5 inS 10 Large
Audiences.
The Baldwin Melville Company played to
two large audiences yesterday and save
satisfaction at both performances. "Ca-
mile" was played a the matinee and at
night Forgiven" The Baldwin Compa-
ny is the best repertoire company that has
been seen here this season and it's per-
formances are equal to many shows that
charge three times the price. The 9lay
last night was presented in a most credita-
be manner. Mr.. Jossey. Miss Linden, Nj.
Hart, Mr. Day, and in fact, the entire
company were good in their parts. The
specialties were entertaining, parucularly
the pictures showing a Mexican bull hght.
Little Lord Fauntleroy' will be the at
traction at the matinee and THE Sisrai
of Liberty" a strong melodrama to-nig Il.
Cooper & Co.'S shows win arrive early
this morning and will pitch tents for a
two-day's stay at the corner of East
Broad and Bolton streets. The afternoon
performances will begin at 3 O'clock ana
night performances at s O'Clock. Doors
oDen one hour earlier. Admission is 10 AID
20 cents.
and night of Louis James Kathryn Kid
der-Charles B. Hanford and their coterie
Of associates, brings forcibly to mind that
the field Of the ShakesDerean or legiu-
mate drama, as represented by actors Of
the cider school, is narrowed down to
few people The American stage has
known no greater opponents of that form
of drama known as heroic tragedy than
James and Hanford. In Miss Kidder is
centered one of the chief hopes of the
women of the American stage. Her rem
diticn of the title character in Sardou's
brilliant romantic comedy Madame Sans
| Gene" served to show her as an actress
of scope and power, and her assumption
last season of Lady Teazle ond the
Shakesperean heroines firmly established
her as one Of the foremost American ar
fists. An important characteristic of her
| acting is that she can approach and cross,
when necessary, mat thin border line
which separates pathos from merriment
| Miss Kidder is a happy combina ton OF
art and nature. II was the determination
OF Wagenhals & Kemper to offer to the
| American public the greatest Legitimate
| aggregation seen since the days OF the
-Modjeska combination.

THE CATCHING DISEASES.


Laymen, as a rule, most dread the zy-
motto or catching diseases" Diph-
liberia and scarlet fever, affecting cs-
pecially childhood, and typhoid fever the
scourge of youth. No fear is shown TO
measles; by a glance at the tables here
with appended il will be seen that the
number Of cases of contagious and in
fectious diseases reported, was less than
during the year 1897.
1t will also be noticed that the de-
crease is due particularly in 1899 to the
falling off in the number of cases of
measles, rather than to diminished
number of the more dangerous contag-
ious and infectious diseases, except in the
case of diphtheria, the number of cases
and deaths from contagious diseases, such
as scarlet fever and typhoid fever, have
been normal. The reporting Of cOnsump-
tion as contagious disease has not yet
become popular with our physicians, nor
do the people manifest that interest in the
subject that seems essential to its great
importance.
The value of such reports will depend
very much more on the accuracy of the
information given by the friends Of those
suffering frCm this disease than the re-
port of the case made by the physician,
and the interest of physicians in report
ing such cases will grow, as the interest
Of the people becomes manifest in haV-
ing these reports made.
There were $50 cases OF contagious dis
eases reported to this department dur
ing the year as follows: Diphtheria, AS
cases, So deaths: scarlet fever, &c cases, 4
deaths; typhoid fever 25 cases, IA deaths;
measles, 80 cases, no deaths; whoopng
cough, - cases, 13 deaths; membraneous
Group, cases, % deaths.
There We're 50i marriages reported TO
this department during the year, an m
crease of %, as compared with the year
1897.
This statement represents all the mar
riages Of record; but whether 5Oi mar
in this city in the past year is another
question.
HEALTH OFFICER'S REPORT.
The following report Of Health officer
Allen was read:
To the Board Of Health, Scranton, Pa.
Gentlemen: / have the honor to submit
the following for the year 1898. The sani-
tary officers report during the year shows
that L05S nuisances were abated, as
follows: UnsanitaTy conditions in courts,
l2S; on streets, so; nlthy cutters opened
and cleaned, 95; filthy back yards, 2l5;
dirty unsanitary dwelling houses cleaned
and fumigated, II; vacant lots cleaned
up, s; stagnant pools, 10; water closets
emptied and made sanitary, 525. Con-
tagious disease placaIds were placed on
$50 houses.
Nuisances in courts, as a rule, con-
sist of garbage and other foul matter
thrown from the houses facing thereon,
and as the residents know little and
less about hygienic surroundings they are
plentiful.
When ore complaint Of that sort is made

the entire alley and frequently finds a
dozen which he attends TO though they

WESTERN CYCLE CIRCUIT.
Owners Of Newly Oval Planning to
''Make Good on Investment.

The owners OF Newly Oval are planning
TO organize a Western circuit of paced BIZ
cycle races, with the hope that interest in
the sport may be quickened and they may
make good on their investment. The COM
pany has lost money and confidence in BIZ
cycle racing here, but il hopes that If
circuit be formed and a good pacing team
organized the people will encourage the
sport with their money. A meeting OF the
stockholders of the company will be held
the first of next month to consider the new
plan before opening negotiations with tracks
elsewhere.
1.-The proposition" said A c. Newly yes
terday, lis to form circuit of Indianapolis,
Chicago, Detroit st. Louis, Louisville Gin
cinnati and Cleveland. We will have to
wait and see what action the new racing
board wild take in the matter of reinstating
or rejecting the outlaw racing men and the
tracks that had TO do with them. The ST.
Louis track is blacklisted. For my part
would like to see the l.. A. w. throw the
outlaws out for good and ALL There is
plenty OF new blood. Right here in this
city are young fellows, who, If they were
Bald, Cooper any of those fellows. 1t
seems that to form circuit is the only way
10 awaken interest in bicycle racing in O
West. Our idea is that a pacing team
might be organized TO travel the circuit and
hold two race meets a week. To keep up a
rivalry between the cities il would be well
to choose one principal racing man from
each city on the circuit TO represent II IN
the races"
Mr.. Newly was assured that his plan
seemed 10 be an excellent one, at first
thought, but there was a tone OF well. we
shall see WEAKNESS in his voice he re-
lated the money-losing meets on Newly
oval, beginning with the big national
meet and ending with the last of the rain
washed events pulled off later in the fall.

Let Ii He So Recorded,

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal
The Journal Is asserting and reasserting
that the Citizens Street-railway Company
holds perpetual franchise as to the streets
OF the territory recently annexed to the city
by reason of grants to it from the County
Commissioners. If no one else can be found
to enter a protest to this proposition, /
would like TO be recorded as against it. The
County Commissioners have no power TO
grant a perpetual franchise to a street-rail-
way company, and no respectable court has
ever so held or will ever so hold, the Jour-
nal TO the contrary notwithstanding. The
public should not be befogged by The fear
of any perpetual franchises. Public rights
cannot be forever destroyed by ignorant or
corrupt officials. j. II. CLAYPOOL.
