CHILDREN OF TIE GHETTO,

"The Children Of the Ghetto, the
play written by Israel Iangwlll,
The great London author, will be
presented at the Grand Opera House
OH next Saturday evening, by a
company of players seldom, if ever,
equalled by any travelling drama
tic organization. 1t is headed by
Mr.. Wilton Lackayc, recognized as
one of the most eminent actors on
the American stage. The play has
been seen in five cities. 1t had its
production in Washington last
October. 1t afterwards went to
Baltimore, Philadelphia. and New
York, and from the latter city to
London. 1t will be seen here with
the same cast, with two exceptions
and all of its wealth of scenery. as
it was presented in the American
cities and in London. Wherever
it has been seen, 1t has attracted
unusual attention. 1t is doubtful
if any play has ever been produced
in this country or seen in any other
country about which so much has
been written. much in praise of the
play, some in criticism of it. It's
popularity has excited much con-
troversy; its beauty and natural
ness have received marked CONF
mendation. 1t has been the subject
of extreme argument for and against
in the public prints by many of the
best writers seldom equalled by
any incident connected with stage
craft. Hundreds Of thousands have
seen the play, and as conceded by
Mr.. Clement Scott, the dramatic
critic of the New York Herald"
lately imported from England more
than ninety per cent regarded it as
one of the most interesting plays,
taking everything into considera-
tion, they had ever seen. When
the play was taken to London
about the first of last December it
was the intention of Messrs Leibler
& Co., the proprietors, to continue
it here indefinitely. This has, in Il
great degree, seriously affected all
classes of amusement in the En-
glish metropolis.

Great Events to Take Place In 1000.

| MR. EDIToR:-It looks to me like
it would be wise if our people would
endcavor to select competent men
as candidates for the various offices
to be elected by those who may
qualify themselves to vote at the
next election. Let the Office seek
the man, and all those whose heads
have been swelled by office for a
term, step aside, as the people know
their worth, and are convinced
that their past acts while attempt
ing to represent the people failed,
and they are unworthy of any such
honor and trust. They disregarded
the wishesof their constituents. and
followed after their own and indi-
vidual measures. Therefore hold
your peace, and retire to private
life, and content yourselves that
you received all there was in the
office and more than you earned.
Both parties havemen whof sought
out and induced to become candi-
dates, especially for the General
Assembly if elected. would take
care of the interests of all the peo-
pie. Old party hacks and worn
out blatherskites who have no re-
gard for an oath, should be squelch-
ed. Look at what is being done in
Philadelphia every day in the
courts ofjustice, rottenness is being
unearthed in nearly every ward
and the perjured, cowardly scoun-
drels are fleeing from the law Off
GERS. These bad men may be con-
victed and imprisoned for a term of
months or years, but this will not
deter party from employing the
same kind of men to hold elections
and with the same results. The
people OF Delaware will make a
mistake if they allow certain ele-
ment to select candidates for the
important Offices to be filed this
year. Delaware at one time in my
recollection had aJames A. Bayard
and John NJ. Clayton TO represent
us in the United States Senate.
There were no senators from all
the other States who stood higher
in the estimation of the American
people than Delaware's learned,
polished and honest Statesmen; they
represented both of the political
parties of that time, the Democratic
and the Wings. These statesmen
worked together for the welfare of
their own people and all the people |
in the United States. Our people |
loved and honored these two great |
statesmen, they were known and
honored by other nations. Now l
trust the grand old Democratic
party will see to it that competent
and honest men are selected for the
great battle to be fought soon. We
have the men, bring them forward
and we will win. e. b. FRAZER.

STOLE CHURCH
BALLOT BOX.
Rival Factions of Green's
burg Church Have a
Warm Contest.

Greensburg, Jan. 16-The sad
F. state TO which tCo progress
sive spirit has brought the younger
members of the First Presbyterian
Church of this city was illustrated
today at an election for trustees,
when some one. moved rather by an
| advanced political spirit than by
religious zeal, carried off the bal.
lot box at an exciting stage of the
proceedings.
The First Church is rent in twain
over this same desire to present an
advanced and progressive front to
all workers of evil. Recently Ed
win S. Wallace, late United States
Consul to Jerusalem, was called
from Erie to take the pastorate of
the church. He is a young man.
and from him emanated the up-to-
date platform to which the younger
element OF the church gave hearty
endorsement, but which the older
and more experienced members
frowned upon, as savoring too much
OF t1ippent and therefore earthly
methods.
A division resulted and the fire
smouldered until today. when
board OF trustees was to be elected
for the ensuing year. 1t was felt
that the supreme test had come.
since the trustees largely control
the work of the church, and both
sides were fully represented when
today's meeting was called to Or
der.
Rigid politeness and Christian
forbearance marked the proceed
ings until the voting was almost at
an end, when. dispute arising
as to the accuracy OF the count, the
pent-up feelings on both sides was
let loose and one of the older men,
bers, adopting for the nonce the up
to-date methods against which he
bad registered protest, shook his
fist violently in the Rev. Mr.. Wal
lace S face. 1t was in the excite
ment following this lapse of church,
ly dignity that the younger men,
bers carried off the ballot box.
When order was restored it was
found that the tally sheet showed
the election of majority of the pro-
gressive candidates. But the con-
servatives retusedto accept this de-
cision, and it was finally decided to
throw out the vote of two of the con-
tending candidates, which had the
result of giving the two factions
equal representation on the board.
Now the older members are organ
izing for vigorous fight to finish.

1ne Bun0Ies ana the Baby.

The psychologists who have insisted
that the maternal instinct is the stron-
gest OF all human emotions will have to
revise their schedule in the light of the
experience Of the st. Louis mother who
lost her baby while shopping in depart.
ment store. On counting her bundles
as she was leaving, after a most success
full plunge into Christmas shopping, she
found she was one bundle short. On
closer investigation she remembered that
she had brought her baby with her and
that it was the baby that was missing.
Had the maternal instinct prevailed
she would have sacrificed her purchases
to find the baby. Instead OF doing so
she left her address. with notice thai
she would hold the establishment respon.
sible for the delivery of the infant when
found. and went home with her pur.
chascs intact. The maternal instinct is
ordinarily a potent influence, but when
1t tries conclusions with the shopping in
stinct about Christmas time the shop
ping instinct Is apt to carry the day.

ADJUSTMENTS.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
A TEXAS STEER.

A Texas Steer comes to Opera
House tonight. Much OF Hoyt S
reputation as an author and sue
cess as 4 theatrical manager rests
on this piece. II has not the nov-
city of the new production and the
management does not announce
that the play has been largely re-
written and remodeled. On the
contrary it is as near a fac-simile
Of the original New York produc-
ton, in cast and equipment, asp pos
sible, and absolutely Identical in
lines. II would seem almost sacri-
lege, or at least suicidal, to alter
single letter in that most sprightly
dialogue which is never common
place and sometimes rises to heights
of mastery eloquence and again
subsidies to the gentle utterances OF
love or the homcly expressions
touching pathos. The fun is fast
and furious at times, but it is never
allowed to take the interest from
the plot of the story, which is keen
ly and logically arranged and car
ried out. The character types are
splendidly drawn. They are not
ready made men and women, but
develop as the story proceeds. The
company is well balanced. 1t is
headed by Katie Putnam, who has
been especially engaged for the
beautiful role of Bossy, and include
Will H. Bray, the original "Minis-
ter to Dahomey,' Jas. r. Mccain,
the "Meverick Brander' and the
original Texas Steer 0uartette.

opinion. The bill was one Of expenses for
services rendered. but Mr.. Rodney decided
that the county was not bound to pay such
expenses. He said that the services of the
coroner were originally settled for by feos.
