ously condemned and praised. The
farce was originally produced In Paris,
and was written by Dumanoir and
Care. The English version OF 1t was
done by Joseph Qrismer.
While there is abundant opportunity
for the risque situations and dialogue
for which the Gallo farce writers have
such a strong weakness, there was
nothing to offend on that score in last

in the original, they have been care

New Station at Mauch Chunk.

As soon as the weather permits
ground will be broken at East Mauch
Chunk for the Lehigh Valleys new
passenger station. The structure will
be built upon the site Of the present
station at East Mauch Chunk. and 1t
IL estimated that it will cost about
fifty thousand dollars.
The present station at Mauch Chunk
proper will be abandoned when the
new building is completed. The loca-
ton Of the old station has forced the
railroad to abandon it. 1t stands on
the side Of a heavy curve, is on the
east side of the river and incOnvenient
to reach. Heavy passenger trains that
stop at the station can not start with
out the assistance Of pusher; being
on the main line close to Packerton
yards. freight and coal trains moving
to and from that yard were frequent
ly blocked when the passenger train
stood any length Of time at the sta
tion.
1t is expected that the new depot
will be finished before fall. 1t will be
about the same distance from the GEN.
tire Of the town as the old station Is,
and will bring to the Valley greater
proportion of the Mauch Chunk pas
senger traffic than it is now receiving
