The public school authorities of Mahanoy
City are opposing picnic the High school
junior class proposes to hold on June 1st.
The grounds of the opposition are that in a
previous year beer was sold to help pay the
expenses and some young people INDUCED
too freely, causing scandal. Efforts will be
made to prevent the use of the school name,
if the picnic cannot be stopped.

SURPRISING DREAMS.
1t is an open, oblong portico or pavilion
on ~colonnades, with an arcned and domed
squarer pavilion beside it. whence a bay
window steps out of the wall to look over
the swamps and the river below. TIL
whole is all white marble asheen in the
sun, but that is the least part of the wonder.
Walls and ceilings, pillars and many pointed
arches. are all inlaid with richest, yet most
and lattices frame traceries of mauve ana
pale green and soft azure. What must 1t
have been, you ask yourself, when the pea
cock throne blazed with emerald and sap
phire, ruby and diamond from the now
empty pedestal and the plates of FURNISHED
silver reflected its glOrieS from the roof?
The Mahrattas melted down the ceiling; and
Nad1r Shah took away the throne of Persia;
yet. even. as it is, the opulence of it leaves
you gasping. 1t is not gaudy, does not even
astonish you with its costliness; it is simply
sumptuous and luxurious, SURPRISING all
your dreams.
After this chaste magnifcence you may
refresh your eye with the yet purer beauty
Of the Mott Musjid, the Pearl Mosque-a
fabric smaller than a racquet court, walled
with cool grey-vined marble, blotched here
and there blood red. Just a court Of walls
nodded in low relief, with a double row of
three arches supporting a roof at its end

Along the houses run balconies and colon
nades; here, also, you see vistas of pillars
and lattice-work, but the stone is dirty,
the stlcco peels, the wood lacks paint. The
houses totter and lean together. The street
is a mass of squatting variegated people;
bulls, in necklaces Of white and yellow
flowers, sleep across the pavements;
donkeys stroll into the shops: goats nibble
at the vegetables piled for sale down the
center of the street; a squirrel is fighting
with a Gagged parrot. Here is a jewelers.

incense, at the next garbage.
Inimitable, incOngruous India! And com
ing out Of the walls, still crumbling from
Nicholson's cannon, you see mill chimneys
blackening the sky. Delhi, with local cot
ton, they tell you, can spin as fine as Man
chester. One more incongruity! The iron
pillar, the ruined mosque, the jeweled halls,
the shabby street, and now the clacking
mill. That is the last of Delhis myriad
reincarnatiOnS.

The Picturesque and interesting Dra-
mn. ssTIe senntor.v To-MorroxN.

The picturesque and interesting Dra-
ma, "The SENATOR" TO-MorrOw.
Of all the plays thus far produced by
American ~dramatists, THE Senator, which
will be seen at the Grand tomorrow even
ing, has proved one of the most successful,
judged from either an artistic or financial
point of view. When w. H. Crane first ac-
cepted this piece from the authors, David
d. Lloyd and Sydney Rosenfeld, the stock Of
American dramatic literature was away be-
low par. The success of the play in the
hands Of Mr.. Crane resulted in a grand
boom for the American playwright. His
services began to be sought by stars and
managers, and he was no longer forced to
wait, hat In hand, at the door of the man
agerial office, humbly begging for a hearing.
1t has a story which appeals strongly to
American sympathies, and which enlists in
its behalf the patriotic sentiment Of the
people at large. 1t deals with American po-
litical life, yet in no way tires the auditor
by going into the uninteresting humdrum of
political detail. The senator himself is a
noble specimen of manhood. a type of what
the patriotic senator should be. When Con-
gress is composed of such men as Senator
Hannibal Rivers the millennium of popular
government will nave come. The main-.
spring Of the action of THE Senator is a
just claim for damages against the govern
ment, arising out of the war of 1912, which
Senator Hannibal Rivers is engaged in push
ing through Congress. But interviewer with
this Is a charming little love s~tory-three
love stories, in fact-and the comedy ele-
ment is strong and infectious. A serious
side TO the play is a planned elopement of
Count Won Strahl Will the young wife of
Secretary of State Armstrong. Senator Rv-
ers thwarts this and very cleverly saves a
scandal and much unhappiness.
Mr.. Hansel Is TO appear as Senator Riv-
ers. Mr.. kirkland in the designing role Of
Count Won Strahl, Mr.. Conger as the sena-
tors private secretary, Richard Vance, Mr..
Patton as Lieut.. Schuyler. Mr.. Sheldon, who
has been out of the cast for a week, as
Baron Ling Ching. Miss Shannon as Mrs.
Hilary, Miss Daily as Mabel Denman, and
Miss Berg as Josie Armstrong. The minor
characters in THE Senator Will be In the
usual capable hands. AS ever the staging
Of the play will be a feature and each of the
four settings viii be very attractive. The
FIRST act takes place I'm Silas Denman's home,
the second in the house of Secretary of State
Armstrong, the third in the Senate COM
mittee rooms at the Capitol, and the fourth
IN Senator Rivers's apartments. The action
Of the play calls for some very handsome
gowns, especially in the second. third and
fourth acts. In many respects The Senator"
IS the most attractive bin yet offered by the
stock company 1t viii run all this week,
with the usual matinees Wednesday and
Saturday.
