THOUSANDS SAW PICTURES.
Lyman H. Howe Draws an Immense Audience
10 the Armory.

One Of the largest crowds the
armory has ever held last night
saw the Lyman H. Howe moving
pictures and it was also one of the
best pleased audiences ever as.
sembled there. Heretofore Mr..
Howe has given his exhibition,
first in the Y. M. c. A. auditorium
and then in the Nesbitt and as on
every occasion the houses were
filled he conceived the idea of CIV
ing an entertainment i'll the armory,
with its vast floor space. The
fact that he succeeded in filling this
great audience room also is the big
gest kind of a testimonial for him.
MIR. Howe's entertainment was
we'll worth the immense audience.
He has the reputation everywhere
in this country Of giving the best
moving picture entertainment on
the road and everywhere he goes
there are big houses. Mr.. Howe
spends big sums of money for the
latest and best pictures and is thus
enabled to get exclusive subjects
both from European and American
manufactures. He makes all an.
nual trip to Europe to see what is
being produced there.
The series is the best Mr.. Howe
has ever given in Wilkes Barre.
Perhaps the most interesting just al
this time are those from the Pan
American Exposition and the Nc.
Kinley scenes. In the former the
camera was on naphtha launch
that made circuit of the EXPOSE
ton grounds in the canal and the
audience was enabled to see the
buildings, etc. just as if it had beeu
on the launch with the camera. -

Service.
In all households where some degree OF
ceremony Is observed in serving the family
dinner the first essential in obtaining good
table service is a moderately intelligent
butler or waitress.
The laundering efforts Of stupid or
badly trained servitor in the dining room
is not only an offense to nice customs. but
makes the position OF the possible guest
quite as uncomfortable as that OF the
hostess
The serving OF the meal may not be COM
plicated or dificult but there is always the
possibility OF peculiar situations arising,
which only a watchful, intelligent servant
can ward of so skilltully as TO leave guests
and even the hostess unconscious OF the
averted contretemps

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
denernI Tfade Conditions.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says: Universal sorrow placed a
calming hand on. the rush and turmoil
OF the market place. Everything that
could be conveniently postponed was
put aside out OF respect for the man
whose life was devoted 10 developing
the wonderful activity in all branches OF
trade and industry.
Mercantile payments continue prompt
but it was to be expected that bank cx-
changes would not show the customary
heavy gains over previous years.
Corn has met with another setback.
After passing through the vicissitudes
OF heat and drought it was subjected to
the other extreme Of temperature. How
much injury was done by frost cannot
yet be determined, but reports were suf-
heient to force prices to an exception
ally high point on Tuesday. 1t was not
possible to retain the advance, and there
was evidence Of much manipulation dur
ing the movement One result of in
hated quotations was-further reduction
in exports from the Atlantic Coast to
2oo,SoI bushels, against I,5I8,8zo year
ago and 3,IIS,215 in 1900.
Wheat is stronger with less specu-
lative support and more actual cash de
mand. Shipments abroad continue
heavy despite much interruption during
the past week, amounting to 4,o33,45S
bushels, against 3,2Io.2II last year and
3,242,7o4 two years ago.
