"All on Account of Eliza"

The admirers Of Louis Mann and Clara Lipman
and this city holds hosts Of them, have for
so long a time admired and applauded the en-.
tertaining work Of these two players, as exhibited
in 'The Girl From Paris, b" "The Telephone Girl"
and "the Girl In the Barracks" that they will
find it a difficult task 10 imagine them in
a piece dealing entirely with the doings Of
little village in the interior of New York state,
and enacting the central figures in a group
OF characters as rustic in type as those to be
found in "The Old Homestead" Miss Lpman
and Mr.. Mann have, however, fulflled an am.
bition, cherished for several years. of display.
ing their talent in comedy Of a thoroughly legit-
innate and wholesome nature; and that the am
milton was not gratifed sooner was owing to
the lack Of a suitable comedy in which to seek
the good will Of their admirers.

Sam T. Jacks Company.

Follow the crowd on Thursday. January 3, to
the Gaiety, and witness the opening performance
Of the Sam 7. Jacks Own Burlesque company.
This company hardly needs any further intro
duction TO the patrons Of the Gaiety, as its
past reputation is still fresh in their minds,
and It is safe to say that the company will
more than keep up its past reputation, as the
company is larger and better than ever this
year. The performance commences with laugh
able burlesque satire, entitled "A Hayseed
Soubrette." and it is said to be one Of the
best burlesques on isis Hopkins and "A Hot
Old Time" ever offered and it affords the en-
tire company ample opportunities to display their
various talents

ing results for those who got in at the high
level. The market must he considered also in
connection with the positive elements of weak
ness which developed. The violent break in
sugar was a decidedly disturbing influence and
had more effect than similar breaks have had in
the immediate past. This stock was pushed m
~ this morning on the published reports that
the proposed advance In the pricr OF package

sugar trade war which has been a puzzle to
Wall street for many months This comforting
assurance for holders of sugar certificates re.
cei,ed a rude shock from the announcement
which quickly followed OF a cut in the price
Of granulated sugar by the American company
which was followed by the other companies,
bringing the prices by all to the same basis.
As the American company has been holding its
price above that OF the other companies the
bNrging Of prices TO the sam basis Is alleged Ia
be equivalent to a settlement. But this did not
avail to save sugar from drop Of IN points

That Manager Ludlow. Of the Burke Vaudeville
companies on the Pennsylvania circuit, did not
exaggerate In pronouncing his attraction for this
week the best Of the series up to date, was
demonstrated at the Nesbitt theatre in Wilkes.
Barre yesterday, where the troupe gave enter
tainments to delighted audiences. Representa-
tives Of the Scranton newspapers, who, In com
pany with Manager Duffy, Of the Lyceum, were
permitted to witness the performance, do not
hesitate to recommend the company as one
calculated to please theatre-goe OF the Electric
City. The troupe is headed by the author, COM
edian and dialect artist, Joseph Hart, and the
talented soubrette, Carrie DE Mar who are too
well known in Scranton to need an introduction.
IL is probably sufficient to say that their sketch,
entitled 'The Quiet Mr.. Gay" is one OF the
funniest upon their repertoire. and their Scran-
ton friends may be assured that good laugh
is in store for all who witness the sketch.
Henri French, undoubtedly the best comedy
juggler, performs feats not hitherto attempted
on any stage. that are entirely new and novel
and are most marvellous. Among the most
amusing Of the numbers, and one that was par
ticuarly enjoyed by the children yesterday. was
the performance Of Coakley and Hustled. singing
and dancing comedians, and their funny little
dog, an animal that sits quietly in baby car
riage and applauds with his paws at the proper
moment.
In addition to songs by Hart and De Mari,
vocal numbers rendered by Laura Comstock
one Of the best Of interpreters Of coon songs.
and the Prouty Brothers. Among the other ex-
cellent features are the performance Of Lazelle,
the aeriel artist, and the wonderful mind.reading
tests Of Prince Albene and May La Brant. The
programme closes with a one.act farce by the
Dempsey and Mack company, which is a fitting
finish to menu Of good things in the amuse.
ment line.
There seems no question that the great popu-
larity of the entertainments furnished by the
Burke companies in Scranton will be increased
by the performances to be given at the Lyceum
this afternoon and evening.
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1901-01-03

the strong disinclination upon the part
of the other municipalities throughout
the state to acquiesce in this solution
renders this plan valueless. A metro
politan police system Is open to the
criticism that II Is a violation of the
principle of home rule guaranteed by
the constitution. We are therefore
brought to face this proposition. with
no apparent remedy as yet suggested.
In my opinion there should be a COM
plete Capitalization OF power. There
is no necessity, 1t seems to me, for O
commissioner who is not in effect as
well as in name the absolute head Of
the police system of the city OF New
York. An efficient man, the choice Of
the mayor, as a single headed commits
sioner, with all the powers now Dos
sessed by the chief of police, would at
once narrow down the responsibility
and place II within the power Of the
chief executive of the state to hold
accountable the mayor and the COM
missioner thus appointed. This sug-
gestion, IL given effect by legislative
enactment, would, in my opinion, be
no violation of the principle of home
rule"
The message recommends the entire
separation of the bureau of elections
from the police department Of the city
of New York and the creation of "A BIZ
partisan election.
Among the novel features advocated
by the new governor Is the enactment
of an employers liability law, or the
establishment of system of forced In
surance of the employees by the em-
ployer. the object being to place the
employees on the same footing as indi-
viduals not employed, in cases OF In
jury or death to the employe resulting
from negligence on the part Of the en-
ployer.
The message further recommends ex-
empting mortgages from taxation, the
consolidation of the forest preserve
board and the forestry, fish and game
| commission and the Improvement and
enlargement of the state prison at
| Sing Sing.

"The Parish Priest" which plays a return

where dramatic effect is sacrificed for natural.
ness. and the heart, not the backbone, is ap.
pealed to by the dramatist II Is a human story,
a story Of home, where the glow OF the peaceful
fire lights the faces OF reunited friends, who
at sunset were separated, as they thought, for.
ever In that glow is Father Whalen, who
by arts diplomatic has brought about the happi.
ness Of his friends.
In so doing, he has unconsoously placed him.

Comedy and pathos result from these complica.

characters, who are always interesting. AS
Father Whalen, Mr.. sully has a character which
demands from him more artistic work than
any OF his previous successes lie has surprised
the most ardent OF his admirers, and has scored
an individual success long and pleasantly to be
remembered. The play has Just made long run
