CUrious Styles OF Letter findings.
Any one in the habit Of perusing old
letters is struck with the tone Of great
humility and Difference which per-
vades the correspondence of our ances>
tors.
\ few specimens of the style Of be-
ginning and ending letters may prove
interesting as IN striking contrast to
the laconic ''youvs obediently," faith
fully or truly" of the present day.
1t would G :rtainly be difficult to match
the following subscription Of q letter
from the Duke of Shrewsbury TO Sir
Thomas Hammer, dated September,
1713: Il desire that you will believe
that, wherever am | shall always en-
deavOr to deserve and very much value
your friendship, being, with a sincere
esteem, sir, your most faithful and ODE
dent servant, Shrewsbury"
Frequently one meets with bellicose
subscriptions, as in the case of the
Earls Of Huntly and Enrol, who, in
1894. threatened lawful consequences
to the magistrates of Aberdeen unless
they released certain gentlemen i'm
prisoned in their city and inscribed,

PRINCETON.
Special to tn. Scranton Tribune.

Princeton, n. j., Jan. 29.--The mid
year examinations are in full swing,
and are at present the one great, en-
crossing feature of the university life.
They will continue until Feb. 6, after
which the divisions will be announced,
number of unhappy youths will re-
turn sadly to their native heath, ana
an air of peace and good will will per-
wade the hearts of all those who have
successfully gone through the ordeal.
About seven per cent. of the Freshman
class was dropped last year, and the
per contage this year will probably be
about the same.
The Junior promenade will be held
on the night of Feb. I. Committees
from the three upper classes have been
appointed to take charge of all the ar
rangements for the dance, and it prom
ises to be among the most successful
of recent years. Princeton will be in
vaded by pretty girls from the big
cities, and their appearance on the
campus is being eagerly awaited. AL
though Princeton has not Yale's fam
Gus fence. upon which the bold, bad
Sophomores sit during prom" week 20
gace on the aforesaid pretty maidens,
the lack of such an accessory has never
seriously interefered with the Soph's
enjoyment of prom week here
The Kneisel quartette gave its second
concert here last Monday night, at
Alexander hall. These talented musi-
clans are great favortes in Princeton,
and they are always greeted by
large sized audience.
The Columbia basket ball team met
the varsity five last Saturday and was
defeated by the overwhelming score of
52-9 The local teams next match with
collegiate opponents takes place Feb. 8,

The East side in New York has given numerous
writer's inspiration for plays, the first being THE
Streets OF New York" over thirty Yeas ; d..
the latest being "The Angel of the Alley" hy
Theodore kraemer, author of the Volunteer Or

play from this wiited authors pen. 1t introduces
many characters that are familiar to Ne": York
ers and the local scenes introduced are familiar

gambling den at the Five Points, Old Walhala
hall in Orchard street, the thieves retreat in
Water street, and the Big Flat Mott street,
are accurately reproduced. This will be the play

Council Meeting Tonight.

The council will meet in regular ses-
sion tonight when it is likely some
important developments in the sewer
matter will take place. The decision
of the court on Friday has removed all
the obstacles heretofore in the way of
beginning the building of the trunk
sewer. 1t is likely at tonight's meet
ing definite action will be taken and
means devised for the letting of con-
tracts at once
The building of the sewer will make
quite difference in the emoluments
of the treasurer and undoubtedly will
make the fight for that office wax
warm at the coming election. The Of
flee of councilmen will also grow in i'm
portance to the tax payers of the bor-
ough as much legislature affecting
their pockets will necessarily be en-
acted.
1t will certainly behoove every voter
to see to it that he votes on election
day for the men for that office whom
he would select to have charge of work
of this kind, If it We're II private mat
ter being done for himself and he alone
footing the bills.
1t would be Il popular move If the
council would take some action re-
lative to the proper numbering of the
houses of the borough, as in the pres
ent condition ii will be almost impos-
sible to deliver mail in many sections.

"Kerry Cow" and "Shaun Rhue."

Joseph Murphy, the leading refined Irish char
acter comedian in two OF the most successful
plays ever written, Kerry Cow and ''Shhun
Rhue,' will be the attraction offered at the
Lyceum, Thursday night next.
Mr.. Murphy is one of the few actors who belong
to the class OF which the late Joseph Emmett
was a member. lie is artistic in every act, and
is pleasing TO his audience. He does not cheaper
his talent by bidding for popular approval in n
vulgar manner, but adheres rigidly to the line
of character he assumes. lie has Il well modu
lated deep, resonant voice and splendid stage
appearance. He is, in fact, one OF the few men
who are so fortunately endowed for portrayal OF
characters lie essays, rs to be able to please and
amuse the most simple and at the same time
meet the eXacting requirements OF the most
aesthetic.
Kerry Cow and "Shaun Rhue' possess beauty
of dramatic construction, romance OF plot, stir
ring action, literary quality, and scenic beauty,
besides developing strong plots OF human interest.
They also afford the introduction of scenery that
is almost spectacular. MIR. Murphy is supported
by an excellent company OF actors, who have for
years PLAYED the roles assigned to them, and
have attained corresponding degree of pro
iiuienry.
