The Next Attraction.

The comedy drama Under Southern
Skies by Lottle Blair Parker, author
of "Way Down East lis we'll supplied
with scenes and characters that draw
laughter from the audience. The lead
ing part is mingling of comedy and
pathos. There are many bright lines,
funny situations and amusing char
acters through the rise to the fall of
the curtain. The scenery in "Under
Southern Skies" is beautiful and the
costumes are dainty and picturesque
following the fashions of the period,
1875. William a. Brady has spent
money lavishly on the production and
has selected large and capable COM
pany. The result is an entertainment
complete in every way. "under South
ern Skies" will appear at the Grand on
Friday evening.

To Scranton Today.

The High school foot ball team will
journey to Scranton at 1 p. m. today,
to meet the High school eleven of that
city. 1t is expected that large crowd
will go with them to cheer them to
victory.
The team will likely put up good
game, as they have had some very hard
practice of late. 1t will be handicapped
by the absence of Captain Van Bergan
and Half Back Monahan.

Securing Wool.

Our ancestors secured their wool in
tubs, much as our wives and daugh-
ters scour our clothes to-day. In the
hand washing of wool u tub was
filled with the suds, in which one or
two men with long poles stirred the
wool until clean, when they lifted it
upon travelling apron, which carried
it between a pair of rollers which
squeezed out the water The same
principle is applied in the automatic
securing now in vogue.
Great forks or rakes seize the wool
as it is carried by rollers from a feed
ing apron into the iron tanks ana by
alternating motions Of their teeth give
it thorough securing. Thus cleansed.
the wool is delivered by rollers to the
drying machines, where hot air and
great fans are now Utilized to en-
tract all the moisture without tearing
the fiber.

TYPEWRITER FOR POCKET.
Machine Invented Allows Persons tC
Take Notes Secretly.

Machine Invented Allows Persons to
Take Notes Secretly.
The pocket typewriter is the very lat
est device to lessen the task of news
paper men, detectives and any and all
persons who need to take notes on any
subject when the use of pencil and pa
per would be an Inconvenience. The
invention makes it possible for one to
take down Il conversation, IA speech or
any remarks that he may choose to
record without ever removing his
hands from his pockets.
The inventor of this little typewriter
is Eugene MCLEAN Long. son of the
late Confederate Gen. Long of Char
lottesville Va and United States
steel inspector, with offices in the st.
Paul building, New York He is or
ganizing company capitalized at
100000 which will put his invention
on the market in the course of few
months. The invention is fully pro,
tected by patents in the United States.
Great Britain, France and Germany.
and the rights for the manufacture of
the article have already been sold
abroad.
The feature of this unique little
word recorder is its simplicity. Its
easing is Of hard rubber, its interior
of aluminium The dimensions of the
casing are by 3.
In the casing are two little spools
that hold rolls of tape quite similar to
the white paper in the ordinary ticker.
BY merely pressing four keys on one
side of the casing and by the manipu-
lation Of Il space key aud a number in
dicator, anything that the human
tongue can utter can be put down in
symbols.
Mr.. Long asserts that any one can
master the manipulation of the ma
chine within two hours time and can
within Il week become an expert in
taking down anything from speeches
to market reports.
In designing the pocket typewriter,
says the New York World. the follow
ing requirements were constantly kept
in mind:
l. An instrument to make a separate
and distinct sign for each letter of the
alphabet and of such mechanism that
these signs be produced with great
rapidity, greater than the correspond
ing words can be written with pencil
on paper
=. Separate and distinct signs for
each sound known in the standard
works on photography, signs repre-
senting all combination signs shown in
these works and long list of word
signs.

ESTABLISHING HER IDENTITY.
Mrs. Miller Was Highly Indignant
Over the Te1ler,s Obtuseness.


Mrs. Miller had received small
check from her father, and went down
to the bank to cash it without consult
ing her husband. The bank-teller was
very polite, but was obliged to insist
that for business purposes Mrs. Miller
was a perfect stranger to him. When
Mr.. Miller returned at night his wife
which had accumulated and gathered
momentum during the day.
"Well, my DEAR" he answered, I'll
cash the check for you"
But that doesn't make up for all

THE KIKUYU COUNTRY.
A Fine Region in Africa Right on tho
Equator.

A Fine Region In Africa Right on the
Equator.
The Kikuyu country in East Africa
Is famous for having within it's bor-
ders one Of the greatest snow noun
tains of Africa, Mount Kenia, whose
summit is always white with snow,
though it lies directly under the
equator.
All travellers have been enthusiastic
over the beauty and fertility of this
region Of forest and plain that rises
from a height of about 1000 feet to
the summit of Kenia, more than $4,000
feet above the sea. In this land, eX-
ceedingly rich in agricultural possibili-
ties, 1t Is said the white man can live
and work as he does in Europe, and
very likely die Of old age. 1t is prac-
tically the only region yet studied in
tropical Africa of which 1t may be
truthfully asserted.
Travellers, however, have given the
inhabitants of these uplands an evil
reputation. In other words, the Aki-
kuyu are said to be suspicious,
gers. But the latest testimony, coming
from Major Richard Crawshay, of the
British army, who has lived among
these people for years, Is to the effect
that they are the finest African peo
pie he ever met, and he has had long
experience among many tribes in Brit
ish East Africa. 1t will be interesting
to read some things that Major Craw-
shay says about the country in which
white men may live in good health
and about the remarkable natives who
inhabit it.
The first traveller to describe this re-
gion was the late explorer, Joseph
Thomson, who wrote as follows of the
large area Of Kikuyu lying between
5000 and 5000 feet above the sea,
where it is said white men may live
and work:
drought Is unknown and astOnish-
ing fertility Is everywhere seen.
Streams abound in great numbers.
Enormous quantities of sweet pota-
toes, yams, cassava. sugar cane, mil
let etC., are rdlSeu, anu the supply
seems to be quite ineXhaustible. On
my return journey l found caravan
Of over 1,5OO men who remained a
month and carried away little short
Of three months provisions, yet it did
not seem perceptibly to affect the sup
ply or to raise the ridculously low
prices. Extremely fat sheep and goats
abound and there are cattle in consid-
cradle numbers. New York Sun.

HISTORIC HITCHING POST.

Castiron Figure of Chinanan Has Held
Stccds of Generals.
One of the oldest signs in Washing
ton is the cast iron figure of Il China
man, about three and half feet in
height, that stands in front of liv-
cry stable on Sixth street northwest,
between Pennsylvania and Louisiana
avenues. 1t has been there since 1852,
and is one of the familiar landmarks
of the city.
During the civil war Generals Grant,
Mcclellan Hooker and others who
patronized this stable great deal
tied their steeds to this hitching post,
and since then other distinguished
personages have had occasion to use
this post during every presidential in
auguration that has occurred since
Lincoln's second term.
AS matter Of fact, this much of
Sixth street northwest, between
Pennsylvania and Louisiana avenues,
Is an historic locality in more than
one sense. 1t was on the corner of
this street and Louisiana avenue that

to his old commander, General Win
field Scott, when the former withdrew
from the Union army to join that Of
