The nopuaar idea that the only cure

ToNIaHT's CONCERT.
Sale of Seats Largest for Any Event
Of Its Kind.

The Easter concert, which has
created so much interest among our
music-loving people during the past
few weeks, will take place this even-
ing at the Lyceum, on which occasion
one of the largest and most brilliant
audiences ever assembled in this thea
ter will be present
The great popularity of Madame
Schuma Heink, who is acknowledged
the worlds greatest contralto, together
with the great interest in the debut
OF Miss Clare Horan. as pianist, has
caused the largest sale of seats in the
history of the Lyceum for similar
entertainment.
Thos who have not yet secured seats
will do well to call early today. In
order thai those who desire may have
the opportunity of hearing Madame
Schumann- Heink at popular prices,
seats have been reserved and num-
bered in the second balcony; these are
desirable seats and many will doubt
less avail themselves of the privilege
of securing them.
The concert will be over at 1915, thus
giving many who desire 1t an oppor-
tunity of going to the charity ball In
time for the grand march.

THOUSANDS WILL ATTEND
Everything in Readiness for To-
nights Big Charity Ball at the
New Armory.

Last night, in the presence of the
members of the general committee of
tonisht's charity ball for st. Josephs S
rounding Home, the electrical illu-
limitations and decorations We're tested
and for the first time was witnessed
the grandeur of the scene that is to
greet the eyes Of the thousands who
will be at the new armory tonight.
Nothing remains to be done today
except the placing of the palms and
flowers, which will fringe the dancing
platform and embellish various other
portions of the immense hail.
The dancing will begin at $50 o'clock
and the grand march at IL o'clock. The
dance programme contains twenty four
numbers, so that those who come even
as late as u o'clock will have suffi-
cheney of dancing.
Those who contemplate attending
various of the other smaller dances
set for tonight are forming parties to
attend the big ball later in the night.
Arrangements have been made with
Superintendent Manville, of the Della
ware and Hudson company, for special
trains TO and from Carbond and to
Wilkes-Barre. A special Il in will
leave Carbondale at $50 o'ciock to-
night, and the train which generally
leaves this city for up the valley at
LIS o'clock will be held until 2 o'clock.
Arrangements have also been made
for the running of a special train to
Wilkes-Barre and all intermediate
points at 2.45 a. m. A number Of peo-
pie down the valley have hesitated to
attend the ball because they would
have to remain in this city all night.
This arrangement will obviate the diff
ficulty. Superintendent Manville makes
no extra charge for these trains, but
will put them on as the company's con-
tribution to the ball.
At the final meeting of the general
committee, reports We're made by the
ticket distributors and to the great
qualification of the committee. it was
seen that the advance sale has been
extremely large Mrs. \. j. Casey had
the record for sales. She turned over
to the committee an even $1,000. Sew
eral others did quite as well. The
committee is wholly at sea as to what
the attendance will be, but feels as
sured it will be not less than 1000 and
possibly as high as 1000.

In an important sense, the dictionary
is the sum total of all human learning
the aggregate of all human experience.
In the ultimate analysis, the unit of
literature is the word and collection
of all the words of Il language is a
record of all that men have thought,
learned or experienced. A word now
passed into common usage may be an
unrecogniaed relic of Al great historic
event ii may record a long forgotten
custom; it may tell us of peculiarlties
of character, of oddities of habit now
unknown save to him who studies the
dictionary for in the words of q Ian
guage are often crystalized no small
share OF the past of the people who used
them. The arts, the sciences, the re-
liglons, the superstitions, even the ro-
queries and deceits of the past, are
embodied in our words. A sincere man
Is man without deceit The word
was once applied in commendation of
well-made furniture. In the good old
days we read about cabinet makers
who manufactured their wares of hon

rogues at the business, who filled up
knolholes and cracks with wax. Sine
bera, which means without wax. was
soon contracted into sincere, and sim
cere furniture therefore meant the best

The dictionary tells us of the origin
of things familiar, and in its pages we
may learn that the bayonet was first
made At Bayonne, in France; that dam
ask and damson came originally from
Damascus; that coffee first came To
Europe from Kaffa, and copper took its
name from Cypress; that candy was
first exported from Canada, and that
tobacco was so called from the Island
of Tobacco, the home of Defoe's imag-
mary heroe; that gin was either in
vented at Geneva, on early in its his

EX-Judge j. W. Carpenter, attorney
for County Controller Il. a. Jones' filed
exceptions Saturday to the bills for
serving subpoenaes in the Langstaff-
Kelly election contest. The exceptions
are specifically set forth as follows:
First--Thc said parties claim and have charged
in their several bills fled for each service Of
subpoena, the SUN of fifty cents, which is in
excess OF the sum allowed by law for such ser.
vice; the fec established by law for the service
OF a Subpoena issued from the court of quarter
sessions being fifteen cents.
Second-rhe said parties claim and have
charged at least ten cents mileage for every wit.
ness served, which is in excess of the sum al.
lowed by law; the fec established by law for
travel in serving subpoenas issued from the court
of quarter sessions being six cents per mile
Thrd-Tllc said parties have charged for at
least one mile OF travel for each witness served
whereas they arc entitled to charge for 10 more
than the actual distance necessarily Travelled in
serving each subpoena on all the witncs cs
named therein.
Fourth-Thc claim OF C.. ! NIiltz is further
excepted to for the reason that it does not show
the number of subpoenas served nor the number
Of witnesses upon whom subpocnas were served,
nor the number of miles travelled; neither does it
show the sum charged for the service OF sub.
poena, nor the charged per mile for travel.
The constables will now have to go
into court and prove their claims.

WITH THE BOMLERS.

The championship of the Northeast
ern Pennsylvania league is still In
doubt The three postponed games be-
tween the Electric City Wheelmen and
the West End Wheelmen, which were
to have been rolled in Wilkes Barre
Friday night, have been postponed
until tonight because of a misunder-
standing. The West Enders thought
the games We're to be rolled on Thurs
day night and were on hand to COM
pete. Captain Hunter found it impos-
sible to get his men together again, last
night, and he so informed the West
Siders, fixing Monday night for the
games
The members Of the West Side team
have been practicing for all they are
worth during the past week, realizing
that they must take all three games
from the West Enders or lose all
chance for the championship so that
some lively bowling may be looked for.
Because of the three games remain
ing yet to be played it has been found
impossible to complete the compilation
of the averages of all the league play
ers. The averages Of all the players
on the teams which have played their
full quota of games have been figured
out, however and the result shows that
nobody can beat the two high men of
the Backus team for first and second
place. Charley Moore is high, with 179
and a fraction for twenty-four games,
while Billy Hopkins is second with
17S 1-9. DR.. Wardell of the Scranton
Bicycle club team has 1853 ILLS, while
Mitchell. of the same team, has 16S
Neither of these players, however is
assured third place until after Monday
nights games have been rolled. Hop
kins, who was high average man for
the first series, had 17S and a fraction
so that Moore goes him one better
The Backus team has high team
average which none of the other
teams can equal. This team has "a
7S6 pins to it's credit and an average
of S26 per game. The average per man
is 165 1876 which is very much above
the ordinary.
1t is probable that when the City
Bowling league is re-organized for its
second series the Backus and Ellis
teams of the Northeas tern league will
go into it intact. The members of these
two teams are loath to disband before
real warm weather sets in and believe
that they can do some very good roll
ing during the next two months. The
Lederkranz and Franklin teams al
ready represent the Backus and Elk
alleys in the city league.
Voorhees,. the crack New York bowl
er. reputed to be the best all around
man in the country, is now at the top
of the heap in the contest for the New
York Sun individual trophy. He has
an average of POI and IL fraction for
sixteen games and stands more than
