NAME OF THE PLAY.
Mildred Hollands New Piece-other
Gossip of Players Known to Car
bondalians.

AS stated in The Tribune a few days
ago Miss Mildred Holland gave her
farewell this season in 1.-The Power Be
hind the Throne the play in which
Miss Holland as Aria" the devoted
and heroic daughter and lover Won the
hearts of all who saw her in the char
acter. In Carbondale every one who
saw her Immediately became de-
voted admrer and this is one of the
many towns that Miss Holland Will
always be warmly greeted.
Miss Holland has had remarkable
success in her dramatic career, but she
is a remarkable woman and the sur
prise would be that her degree of sue
cess would be any smaller Industry of
mind, untiring energy, Il charming per-
sonality and rare tact in calming the
rufIied spirits of the members of her
company--these are the characterictics
that have achieved the success that
this remarkable little woman enjoys
and which will grow as the years go
by until she will reach the highest
court in the realm Of her art.
The character of ARIA" In The
Power Behind the Throne" is her own
prototype. She is as simple and unaf-
fected us the little German girl who is
the sunshine of her home and the at
traction of even the men ut court. She
receives one with such ease and is so
warm hearted in her greeting that Il
strong friendship is Immediately
formed She is always seeking to diff
fuse sunshine among those about her
and she likes to speak of her company
"as one big family; no dissensions; no
differences: harmony everywhere and
all the time"
'"There is no caste in our company"
she proudly said on her recent visit TO
this city. There is no difference be-
tween myself and the man who pushes
the scenery. They are as good as | am
and / feel that l am as good as they.
In fact I think | lean towards them
for ! feel how hard they work. on
Christmas eye when we had the ban
ouet for ourselves and the press in
Hotel Bennett in Binghamton | saw to
it that these men received on the quiet,
IA little present that the members of
the cast did not get, an acceptable
check"
Miss Holland related interestingly
about the dinner she gave the company
how she planned the details so that her
associates enjoyed the sport of the
Christmastide and did not feel tha.
they We're away from their own fi;e-
sides. Miss Holland does all the plan
ming of the details of her productions,
the customing, etc. She has ruling
voice in the staging of her plays
looks after and directs rehearsals and
the like. This season has been n great
success from every standpoint In
Buffalo, alone. several weeks ago, while
at the Teclt theatre, the receipts We're
$4,000. In April next, she Will produce
her new play, THE Prince and the
Lily" at the same theatre. The piece

THE OLD AND NEW YEAR.
Carbondale's Adieu to the Departing
Guest and Her Welcome to Times
Offspring.

Carbondale gave characteristic
adleu to the departing year and well
coined Times young offspring with, ju-
bilating JOY and all the noise that those
who We're wde-awalie could possibly
create. The locomotive whistles footed
and the factory gongs gave forth their
loudest blasts. when midnight came,
while bells rang and those who We're
about contributed in some manner to
the chorus OF dins that marked the
death and the birth of year.
The members of the Carbondale Cy-
ele club and their guests gathered
about the banquet board in Hotel
American and made merry with the
changing of the years. 1t was ~ bril-
liant and happy affair and will be re-
ported in detail in tomorrow's Tribune.
The only religious service of the
night was in the Belmont Street chapel
of the Methodist church, where the
people of that vicinity gathered to
join in the watch-night services.
Today the religious observance Of the
day will be marked by the holding of
special services in St. Rose church,
when the feast of the circumcision VIII
be celebrated by masses at Z, s and
high mass at 0 o'clock.
The social observance will be marked
by matinee dance in Burke's hall,
under the auspices of the Recherche
Dancing class, from 2.30 TO 6, and "Our
New Minister" ar the Grand Opera
House, afternoon and evening. Miss
Estelie Loomis, of Scranton, who has
many acquaintances in this city will
be in the cast.
A number of young people Will go to
Scranton in the evening to attend the
Ciirard Girls dance, and during the

dinners or reunions.

the stomach fermenting, gases are

quently does so.
Furthermore, poor digestion makes
the blood thin and watery and deficient
in red corpuscles, and this further irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible thing to do for
heart trouble is to insure the digestion
and assimilation of the food.>
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation. like
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets which may
be found at most drug stores and
which contain the necessary digestive
elements in a pleasant, convenient
form.
Thousands of people keep well and
vigorous by keeping their digestion per-
feet by observing the rule of taking one
| or two of these tablets after each meal,
or at least after each hearty meal.
| Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets contain
U. S. P. pepsin, diatase from malt and
other natural digestives which act only
on the food, digesting it perfectly and
preventing acidity gases, and the many
diseased conditions which accompany
a weak stomach
| When Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
used you may know you are not taking
into the system any strong medicine
or powerful drug but simply the nat
ural digestive elements which every
weak stomach lacks.
SO widely known and popular have
these tablets become that they are now
sold by every druggist in the United
States, Canada and Great Britain.

Attempted Burglary in Forest City

An attempt at burglary at the resi-
dence of Mrs. b. Melvin, on Main street,
Forest City, stirred the residents of
that town on Sunday night. The burg
lar made his way to Miss Bessie Mel
vim and clapped his hand over her
mouth to prevent an outcry. The noise
attracted Mrs. Melvin, who, with her
daughter tackled the burglar, who,
after a struggle, broke loose and made
away. 1t is believed he is from the
town, as hat which he left after him
had the trade name of local dealer.

The Telephone Rates

The United States Supreme Courts de-
cision in the telephone case relegates the
action not alone to the District court for a
retrial. but to Congress. Its conclusion that
the act Of 1898 was not sufficiently definite
u permit Judgment as to the reasonable
ness of the rates imposed carries a sugges-
ton that Congress can solve the courts
difficulty most surely by Itself explaining
It's purpose and desire.
The litigation over the telephone rates
has caused the District people great an
noyance and expense. 1t has deprived them
Tor four years of rate-reduction. There is
no present prospect that II the case follows
the course laid down by this decision they
will even after four more years be relieved
or the burden of either the cost of litigation
Or the extortionate charges of the telephone
Company. The Supreme Court decision
demonstrates that Congress Numbered in

Statute as to ensure enforcement 1t was
In the mood then to require the company
TO give first-class service for rates similar
10 those charged in many other cities. The
House adopted the rider" on the District
appropriation bill hastily but in good faith,
and later the Senate voted by a large ma
5ority. more than two to one, for the re-
tention OF the item in the bill
The House at least is apparently in the
same mood toward the telephone company
today as it was in 1885, when it ordered
the radical rate reduction. The other day
when asked by the District committee to
pass bill permitting the company to plant
poles in the alleys In order to afford house
connections 1t indicated a strong desire to
deny this privilege in view of the contempt
which the company had shown for the act
Of 1885 But upon the suggestion Of friends
OF rate reduction that the measure carried

who were anxious TO secure telephone SER

was passed, though by no means unani-
mously.
That bill is now before the Senate. II
