NEW FIRE CURTAIN.
Extra Efforts to Insure Safety Being
Taken at Lyceum Theater.

Extra efforts have been recently made
by the Casey brothers, owners of the
Lyceum theater and A. j. Duffy, the
manager to cut off the stage absolutely
from the rest of the house so that in
case of a fire behind the scenes there
would be no danger of it's spreading
into the pit,
With this end in view handsome
asbestos fire curtain has been purchased
and hung in front of the regular cur
tain. 1t is so arranged that 1t can he
instantly dropped i'm case of fire.
Every door and window frame leading
from the stage has been lined with
heavy sheet tin and fire-wal has
been extended straight through to the
roof

BOWLING.

The Scranton Bicycle club team and
the Elks bowled three postponed games
last night and the former took two by
superior rolling. This places the Bicy-

than they were before though the Elks
still have show for the honor. The

The last games of the second series
of the Northeastern Pennsylvania lea
que will be rolled on Monday night
when the Backus team will meet West
End. The Electric City Wheelmen will
play the Scranton Bicycle club team
and the Green Ridge Wheelmen will
have the Elks for their opponents. The
West Siders still have a chance for the
trophy because of three postponed
games which they have yet to roll with
the West END Wheelmen. 1t Is to be
expected that they will be on their met
tie on Monday night and that unless
something gives way the bowling
should be the liyeliest of the year.

Hopkins average of 1874 1-3 for three

tell of averages of over 200 for more
than three games made by Colonel
