This Is what a leading American
physician says:
One type of leanness Is that Of people
who in proportion to their height carry
q small degree Of flesh. These persons
suffer loss of personal beauty, are more
liable to death from disease than we'll
nourished persons. and they are also
more liable to attack by disease.
This class Of persons owe their lean
ness to an underfed condition of the
system.
This has Its origin In Indifferent di.

sequence there is a scantiness Of flesh.

ADA REH4N'S HAIR WHITE.
In Spite OF II She Looks Younger. and IL
Enjoying . Holiday.


Ada Rehan sat in box at the Metro
politsn Opera House the other night and
in spite of her gray hair, which is now
almost entirely white, she looked better
than she had for years She was with a
friend from England who is now on visit
10 New York. and during the intermissions
the box was filled with visitors.
Miss Rehan was dressed in black velvet
and wore a long white scarf. Her bright
eyes and red cheeks made her white hair
seem premature indeed, and it was the
opinion of all who looked at her that she
had not in wears seemed younger
Miss Rehans own unaffected enjoyment
OF the evening her frank delight while
talking to her friends between the acts.
and her air of having a thoroughly good
time were all easily comprehensive TO
those OF her friends who knew that for
the first time in her life she was really en-
joying a holiday.
Her brief retire ement from the stage
after the death of Augustin DAILY was
troubled by vexatious litgat ion and other
annoyances. Her mother, to whom she
was devoted. and her brother, died in this
period. Her return 10 the stage was not
wholly felicitous, as the play in which she
acted was not popular, nor worthy vehicle
for such an actress.
So she has decided 20 stop acting until
she has Just the kind Of play she wants,
IL indeed she ever return TO the stage,
She Is said to be now quite above the neces-
sity of working unless she wants to.
The litigation over the DAILY Theatre
In Leicester Square, London, has been
decided in favor Of the DAILY estate, In which
Miss Rehan has a large interest. SO she
is in a position 20 defer her return 20 the
stage or il she so inclines 20 leave Il for
good.
In the meantime she is enjoying her

Want TO CONSTRUCT
TEMPORARY Line
Rapid Transit Company Seeks Per-
mission from City to Cross
Certain Streets.

Attorney James H. Torrey and j. S.
McAnulty. representing the Lackawan-
ma and wyoming Valley Railway COM
pany, had an informal conference yes
terday afternoon with Recorder w. L.
Connell Director of Public Works
Roche and City Solicitor Watson anent
a certain proposition which the COM
pany desired to make to the city.
AS is well known, the company pro-
poses to run it's lines from the southA
erly end of the city into the central
part through a tunnel. ii large part of
which will consist of old abandoned
mine workings. The companys en-
gineers, after careful computation. have
decided that the work of constructing
the tunnel and laying the tracks there
in cannot be completed until at least a
year after the rest of the road has been
completed and is ready for operation.
The company, of course, has it's pri-
vate right of way purchased through
the city from the point where it crosses
the boundary line to the place where
its central station is to be located. In
order to obviate the necessity of wait
ing to operate the road for full year.
after the larger part of it is completed
II mas Deen QeeIneu duNlStDle u lay
temporary tracks on the surface, to be
used pending the completion of the
tunnel.
AS long as the lines We're to be oper-
ated under the surface no permission
would need to be obtained from the
city, but on surface line certain
streets would have to be crossed and
this could not be done without permis-
sion. The company's representatives at
yesterdays conference asked the re-
corder for permission to temporarily
cross certain streets. The map of the
proposed route which they presented
showed that Maple street is the only
travelled street which it is proposed to
cross.
After some little discussion Recorder
Connell announced that the company
could have permission to cross these
streets, providing it filed with the city
written agreement setting forth that
the arrangement was to be only of a
temporary nature and that under no
consideration will the company ever
claim permanent right to cross the
streets mentioned.
This was agreed to by the company's s
representatives and such an agreement
will be filed in Il few days.

There were no changes in the, posi-

day. William Sherwood, of Hartford,

ton, is now beyond Miss Edna Cole
man, of Scranton.
A new contestant made his first re-
turn yesterday. His name Is Eddie
Morris, of South Scranton, and he is
now at the bottom of the list but he
asserts confidently that he will not re-
main there long. He makes the thir-
ty-third contestant to score points, but
that does not mean that others may not
come in. The thirty-three scholarships
offered will be awarded to the thirty
three contestants who score the larg-
est number of points by the time the
contest closes and there may be forty
or fifty contestants to score points. All
below thirty-third place will receive ten
per cent. of all the money they turn IN
for subscriptions. A contestant begin
ming now with a very few points would
be we'll up among the workers, and all
below him would have to work hard to
to retain their position above the limit
line.

LAST NIGHTS RECITAL.

Neither heat nor cold nor storm can
make any difference to the Scranton CON
servatory recitals as far as the diminutioh
of numbers in attendance upon these ue-
lightftil affairs IL concerned. ,They are az
WAYS artistic and elevating In tone ana
are doing much for the musical culture OIL
Scranton. The programme last night was
exceptional as the main portion was pre-.
sented by Professor Pennington himseil
in several lovely piano numbers. He was
received with prolonged applause when he
appeared on the platform last night.
Professor Pennington was exceptionally
happy in his Interpretation of Schumann
and his solo work opened with two num-
bcrs eXuuisitcly delicate In sentiment.
The first was the "Novclette in T. Major,
which he played with much b,illiance OF
execution. The second was the "Schltlm-
merlied." lie followed with the lovely I'M
promptu In A Flat Major by Schubert.
'rhc two Mendelssohn numbers were PROB
ably the favorites of the evening. Mr'
Pennington's rendering of the Bach Pre-
lude and Fugue was triumph Oh eNeeu-
ton and majestic ERECT
His programme was one of such va
riety and range that his versatility was
perhaps evinced as never before since he
came to Scranton The weird beauty OF
the Chopin Nocturne, the Won Weber ana
Raft selections and in fact all were far
bcyond what is often heard well played
nt a piano recital Mr.. Pennington was
presented with an immense bouquet or
roses early in the evening.
Another great feature of interest was
Mrs. lenorc Thompson's solos. Mrs.
,rhompson's singing in Elm Park church
Is attracting widespread interest. but she
has been heard little in concert. Mrs.
Thomson has a wonderful contralto voice
of magnificent range and its dramatic
possibilities were perhaps never realized
by IL Scranton audience as last night. She
sang first the aria. 1.-The Blind Girl
Song from the opera by "Ponchielli, ana
the pathos and tragic sweep OF the cllmaN
were adequately given.
Unlike most contraltos Mrs. thomson
has done much with the middle register
that it has a pure lyrical quality so mi-
steal as to be very remarkable. AS an en-
core she sang one of Ethelbert NeVln $
last songs, "A Necklace of Love, with
exquisite tenderness. The Vannah song
"Love's Years Are Young written Ill u
very low key was interpreted in way
long to be remembered. SO richly beau
tiful are her lower notes. Miss Ethel "A.
Stone was the accompanist
Fred Widmayers violin work was n
distinct success. He seems to improve In
technique and expression every day. The
Beethoven Sonata with Mr.. Pennington 8
accompaniment was extraordinarily well
played
The finale was the Hungarian Fantasle
by Liszt, with an accompaniment of three
pianos played by Miss Browning. Miss
French and Miss Stone. of the Conserva-
tory. 1t was really exceptional per-
formance and gave satisfying effect of
orchestral work.

menced by saying that it was so long
since his last visit he hardly recog-
nized any of the old landmarks and
that he now had grandchildren
as old as his younger children were
when he left Scranton. He remarked
that the place had grown and changed
so. It all seemed strange to him, and
he believed if he were set down In some
of the streets of the city he would hard
ly know the way to get back home. He
used to know everybody in Scranton
and was not afraid to go into any of its
localities either night or day; that SO
far as he knew, he had no enemies here,
but all were friends, most all of whom
are gone.
He has seen some few friends who
are still living here, but not many and
that while he feels pretty WELL his be-
ing hard of hearing prevents him from
having the full enjoyment of intercourse
with his friends. He finished by say
ing that 1t would be his greatest pleas
ure to meet all of his children and
friends in the world hereafter, where
there will be no separations, and he
hoped and believed he should do so.

FIERCE ELECTRICAL STORM.
Several Places Struck by Lightning
Yesterday Afternoon,

A fierce electrical storm came up
very suddenly about 3.45 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. The rain poured In
perfect tourents for upwards Of fifteen
minutes, accompanied by vivid light
ming and exceptionally loud thunder
claps.
The mule barn of the Erie company
at Dunmore was struck by lighting and
the roof was literally ripped to pieces.
Had there been any mules in the barn
a number would undoubtedly have been
killed but they had been all shipped to
pasture in Susquehanna county last
week. A slight fire started but 1t was
extinguished by the downpour Of rain
A house in the rear of the residence
of d. j. Campbell on Gibson street was
also struck. Not much damage was
done and the blaze which started was
easily put out. Another terrific down.
pour of rain occurred about go o'clock
last night, driving pedestrians to shell
ter all over the city.

BUTCHERS TO PROTEST..

A committee of butchers is to wait
on Recorder Connell this afternoon and
request him to recommend to councils
that the license tax ordinance be so
amended as to provide for lighter tax
on them or none at all.
Acting under City Solicitor Watson's
Interpretation of the license tax ordi-
nance the department of public safety
has been collecting a SIS tax from all
butchers selling meat from wagon
from house to house. The recorder is
inclined to be favorably disposed to-
wards the protest of the butchers. be-
lieving that those who pay II mercan-
tile tax should be exempted from pay
ing a license tax.
