Tomorrow Evenings PLAY.

From Paterson, N. j., Call, March %, 1900.
Tho Cherry Pickers" Company OPEN
ed at the opera house last night to big
house. Everybody was pleased from
the fact that the company is really one of
the best that has played Paterson this
season. The play is laid in far off
India and the leading character is John
Nazarre, half cast, played by Garland
Gaden. This gentleman showed great
talent and plays his part well. He is
an actor any company would be proud
of. Colonel Brough, William Highly, is
good actor who has very difficult
part, but he wins the applause; even at
times the audience wants to hiss him,
yet the mastery manner in which he
portrayed the cruel and unprincipaled
man, show him an actor in every sense
of the word. William Corbett as Ayoob.
an Afghan spy, does some fine work.
1t is too bad he has not longer act to
display his good qualities. George LIE
Savage is funny and gets all there is out
of the part of Brown You feel like
kicking him and yet you laugh.
Words cannot express how PLEASING
and fascinating is the leading lady, Miss
Alice Irving, gifted with sweet face
that cannot be forgotten and figure
tnat makes her woman among women
As an actress, Miss Irving shows great
talent. She won the audience in the
second act and in the third, the great
cannon scene, the house went wild,
Miss Margaret Tenant, as the Widow
O'Donnell-Duleep, is really IA wonder.
Her acting is full of pure fun which
stamps her as an artistic in the truest
sense.
No. l., 1, l..
here this season. In fact the whole
play is so delightful that one leaves
the house with the feeling that they
have been more than repaid for going.
The recollection of the Cherry PickerSn
will inger in the minds of all that saw
the play last night and there is no
DOUBT that everyone will speak we'll of
it. There Is not dull moment in the
whole piece and the great cannon scene
in the third act is the greatest effect
ever seen here.

POLITICAL POINTERS.

A Republican may be elected to the
legislature from the Fifth district, this
year. because the Democratic vote will
be split in three. The Lenahan faction
met on Monday and the convention
broke up in row, two men being nomi-
mated, Two weeks ago the faction
favoring exState Chairman Garman
Tighe. On Monday the Lenahanites
gathered. Two candidates, John Il.
Gibbons and Il. j. Burke, were in the
field and their forces were about equally
divided. After a long wrangle the affair
eliminated in each side naming its man
and the meeting dissolved.
The Wilkesbarre Record gives notice
that no Republican candidate for the
legislature "who bears the brand of
Boss Bacharach on him will be elected
in Luzerne county" Bacharach is the
boss through whom Quay issues the
orders in Luzerne county, and who also
has his name on the payrolls of the
executive department at Harrisburg,
where he. gets pay for what he does for
Quay.
On Saturday evening the Republicans
of the Fourth district will elect dele
gates to the legislative convention to be
held here on Monday next III. W.
Haworth. of Freeland, according to the
calculations of his friends, will carry
off the honors and be named as the can
didate for the legislature. Two dele
gates will also be chosen to represent
the district in the state convention.
There is strong movement in prog
ress in the Second legislative district to
renominate Representative E. A Coray,
in spite Of the fact that he is not among
the announced candidates. There seems
to be no doubt that Mr.. Coray would
accept if nominated.
Interest in the Boer-British war will
abate this afternoon aud evening while
the returns from the Democratic state
convention at Harrisburg are coming in.
The Prohibtonists promise to make
an exceedingly lively campaign in Penn
sylvania this year, with many speakers
on the stump.
Philip Drum, of Conyngham, wants
the Republican nomination for the
legislature in the Sixth district

1t will now cost $50 to slip a circular
under q house door, or leave it on the
front porch, or in the front yard, of
any house within the city limits. The
mayor Yesterday signed the ordinance
which abolishes the "dodger" nuisance,
and as it went into effect Immediately,
orders were at once issued to the en-
tire police force of the city to strictly

The new law makes it unlawful to
place circulars, advertising dodgers"

walks, porches or in vestibules or yards
of houses. A fine of $50 is provided for
each and every offense.
As soon as the ordinance had been
signed by the mayor, Director English

Police Quirk, in which he said:
1.-The ordinance relating to the distri-
button OF waste papers, circulating, etc,
has become law today, and | hereby
instruct you to compel its strict enforce
ment at once. The necessary orders
will be issued by you to the several cap
tains of divisions and lieutenants of dis
tricts.n
