handled. 1t was not Of the boldly pro-
nounced type Of comedy 30 common, but
seemed more Of a hidden suggestion of
humor that fitted Mr.. Whiteside per.
fectly. The character Of princess
Sylvia" was also most admirably por-
trayed by Miss Wolstan, and the entire
cast was perfect. The costuming and
special stage settings were especially
good and it required but a feeble effort
on the part Of the audience to believe
themselves transported to the feudal
principalities Of Heinhault and Stein
hansen during the times when the small
states went to wal over trivial matters.
The point to be regretted was that there
was not a larger and more responsive
taudience to enjoy one of the very best
entertainments yet given in the Audi
forum. Upon the strength Of Mr..
Whiteside's f1rst class reputation and the
friends he made here last year, Manager
Spear did not hesitate to book this com.
pany on a guarantee Of $500. The total
sale Of seats amounted to 1927, max.
ing q loss, with the expense Of
opening the house, Of about 800. Some
weeks ago Martins Uncle Toms Cabin
company was here and played toa house
Of 1887. The result Of these two exper.
fences naturally leads the management
to inquire what the people want. BY
the patronage given it would seem as
though the cheap attractions are the
more popular, but it will be a serious
state Of affairs from q theatrical stand.
point when nothing but that kind come
here. A number of other fast class
companies are now booked for dates
during the remainder of the season, but
il the result is as disastrous to the Audi
forum on those as it has been thus far,
the management would be foolish to
attempt to play high class companies
another season and the public cannot
expect it.

There was no happier dinner party in
the city yesterday than that entertained
Mt the Salvation Army hall, where an
abundance Of good substantial food.
with d~elicacies to finish on, were served
to all applicants. The first table served
was ut the noon hour when about 60
children sat down to enjoy the feast
and others were awaiting their turn ut
the next table. The captain, assisted
by a corps Of energetic walters saw
that everyone had a sufiiciency. Those
who participated in the dinner were by
no means starved, but they had good
healthy appetites, and under their man
ipulation the victuls disappeared with
a rapidity that was surprising. They
enjoyed the spread most thoroughly
and it ia certain that no one could have
watched them eat and feel sorry that
they had contributed Of their abund.
ance to the success Of the dinner. All
the joy for which the Salvation Army
was responsible was not confined to
their hall. There remained after the
feast n large quantity Of provisions
which have been distributed among
people where they will do the most
good. The people responded most
literally to the appeals of the Army
officers. An idea of their generosity
may be formed when it is known that
between 30 and 40 chickens and turkeys
were given, with an abundance Of bread,
potatoes, beans, pie, cake, cranberries
and other provisions. A Christmas
tree loaded with gifts contributed by
the people was the feature of last even
ing when many a child's heart was
made happy.

STRIKE AT SCRANTON.
Street Car Traffic In the Lackawanna Val,
ley Tied Up--Msn Demand Shorter
Hours and More Pay.

Scranton. Pa, Dec. 24.-Every one
Of the 800 car and barn employees of
the Scranton Railway company
obeyed the order, which went into eff
fest at 6 a. m, to strike, and as a con
sequence only two cars were run in
all of the Lackawanna valley yester-
day. These two were manned by Su-
perintendent Patterson and dispatch
ers, foreman and clerks. No attempt
vas made to modest them, and al
though rain fell a greater part of the
day, the two cars seldom had a passen-
ger. The tied-up region extends from
Pittston to Forest City, a distance Of
30 miles, and includes 81 miles Of
tracks on which are run ordinary night
cars.
The $50 men of the Wyoming Trac-
ton company, operating all the lines
south of Pittston as far as Nanticoke,
threaten to go on strike Thursday.
With both companies tied up there
would be a total cessation of street
car traffic in a strip 80 miles north,
Including the four cities Of Scranton,
Wilkesbarre. Pittston and Carbonate.
An appeal to the local public was Is
sued, asking that the carr b not
patronized. The men demand 20 cents
an hour for old employees and from 10
to 17h for new e They also de-
mand a ten-hour day.
