Thi an couueeui-nt will give pleasure to 93 p-r cent, of the people of the North Ei! A want of proper sewerage is one of the greatest evil we have to coinpluin of. A great amount of sick ness here is attributable to the in sanitary condition of the ptaot. One of tne most exciting runaway of tbe season took dIhc on North Main avenue M : I y The team belonging to the Liberty Hots company took flight while standing outside Bright' carriage factory aud went in the direc tion of the hose home at a in id pace.

In "Lady Windermere's Fan," which will be presented by Charles Frohman' company at tbe acadeinv this evening. Oscar Wilde disappoinis no one. Peo ple expect something out of the ordi nary from him and tiiev always get it. Columns have been written about the play since it was produced in London, and with that production the fame of Oscar Wilde emerged from tne eclipa into which it went after his salad an 1 sunflower day. An excellent perform ance of the play is promised, the com pany being headed by Miss Virginia Harned. formerly leading lady to Mr. Southern Miss Harned acts the part of a woman with a past. A TTXAS STEER. Hoyt has never written anything for the stage so consistently and uproar iously funny hs "A Textl Steer. Giv ing its initial metropolitan production oyer three years ago, this satire on Washington and Texan domestic and political life was forced from the stage of the Bijou theater, New York city, after a run of over five months, to meet the clamor of out of town managers who held contracts for its production in their respective cities. Its return to Scranton for an engagement of one night, next Thursday, Feb. 22, will doubtless be greeted with a welcome that will solidly demonstrate its popu larity. It would be singular if tne theme hit upon by Mr. Hoyt did not furnish ronsing entertainment. HANDS ACROSS THE 3EA. That bright little soubrette, Mis Dell Ellerson. ia this season playing the role of Lucy Nettlefold in "Hands Aero the Sea, " and the press speaks of her acting in tbe very highest terms. Mies Ellerson is not only a very clever actress, bnt is also a very handsome woman. Tbe play will be seen at the Academy on Friday aud Saturday evenings and Saturcay afternoon. . PUASANT SURPSISE PARTY". The trustees of the Sttranton Public librur have issued their report for tbe year 1803. which niukoa the third an nnal. The address to the councils is as fol lows : To tbe honorable, the select aud common councils of the city of BcfantOD, iHnti.kmks 1 It is with unalloyed pleas ure Hinl honorable pride iu this third an. nual report, the board of trustees can Con gratulate you, the people of Serautou, in having ii well selected working library. Vhe use of tbe memorial building aud dis tribution of book therefrom attest iu si Itnre more emphatic than words, an ap preciation OB the part of the people of the gifts of the buiMing, grounds aud bonks, and of the commendable interest which you hs councilmeu have shown. Mr. Albright at the inception of his gift of a memorial building pledged an expendi ture of $75,000, and Kxeurod the same by a deposit of collaterals in order to guard aoatnat unv contingency. The final cost ot the building and appurtenances to him has reached 1188 000; tne vouchers aud payment tor winch have at his request passed through the hands of the president of the board. The reports of tbe secretary nnd libra rian, with the summary of the expendi tures for the year ISBSt tell their own beti eticial story. The rapid growth in the utility of the library may OS uuderstood from the fact that a maximum of over 1,000 visitor in one day has been at tuiued, that 6,307 name have been regis tered as borrowers, and U.il.Vl books have been out at one time. All classes and lines of society are attracted to its enclosure and receive freely the benefit which self culture, the best promise of future growth, affords. Iu our estimate for the absolute necessi ties of the library tor tho coming year, wo have cut close to the Una of rigid econ omy. The estimate is slightly Increased, but we assure the councils, aud through thm the citizens, that we make no pres sure on hem. which i not made up m us, tiv the tacts aud the huiwer of our na trons, who are your wards. We sincerely trust that you will see your way clear to grant our "praver in this regard. The building and grounds, if spontaneous ex pression of the people aud of all intelli gent critics, which have come to us, are any criterion, have more than met all ex pectations iu their utility aud elegance, COST OF MAINTENANCE. The amounts for maintenance for the Bscal year commencing April, ISA, (this mouthly date should always be borne in mind iu jndgiug of our expenditures), are as follows: Forbook-iUo0.0Oper month i 3,000 00 For pay roll, salaries and labor, iW30 ner month) 5,10 00 For incidentals, (MOO per mouthi '2,400 00 It Wan Tendered to Mr. and Mrs. F.

Total 110,660 00 The summary of expenditures for tho past year will be found among the reports herewith presented. The accessions to the book department during the year were4."3, making a pres ent total of IS, 720 volumes. A great encouragement to the manage meut of the institution is found in the spontaneous and unsolicited generosity of those who have adtleil their guts or valua ble books to the library. Wo trust that this spirit will grow and be a constant support nnd a fitting compliment to the int-rest which our municipal authorities and public otlicers aud representatives, both state and national, are showing. The meetings of the board bave been of the most interesting and harmonious char acter, and the fuitbfulness of all tbe otli cers engaged in the active work of the library are worthy of special mention. We desire to place the future growth and ex cel leuce of this beneficial Institution, both as to its incoming supplies aud its outgo ing benefits, as a grateful burdu'i on tbe hearts of all of our people, young and old: and we invite kind, intelligent aud faith ful exsmination aud criticism, and a uni versal nse of its privileges.

The following excerpt rian Carr'g roport will be MANY BOOKS TAKCN from Li bra -interesting: our. Tho number of book takers has proven large from the first and fully In excess of any prior anticipations. From flay 26 to Dec. 30, 18113, a total of 6,807 names were registered and library cards is-ued to same as follows; City borrowers. 6,960; non residents, 33; deposits nnd special, 14.

Of the ,307 enrde issued 500 were to males and 3 s47 to females: 4.65!l were to por-ons aged 18 years and upwards and 1,648 to those undor that age. As to locality in tho citv no spoclflc count has been kept, hut frequent Inspec tion of tbe applications and home address es recorded shows u good representation from all sections, even those most remote from tho library. Particulars concerning the home circu lation ot books will appear iu a summary appended to this report. Total issues from the circulating department for the seven months l7o days), number 85,021; a daily average of 500. This wns exceeded, how ever, by the daily average in November, which wna 699, Largest Issue of anyone day was 1,018, on Monday, Oct. 2. Largest daily number out in the hands of readers was 3,053, on Monday, Dec. 1. Percentage ot circulation from the sov end sections of tbe librnry, other tban Prose Fiction aud Juveniles, has been higher than was originnlly expected aud shows a large class of reading of inostgrut ifyiog character.

That por. ti 'ii of the library has received a pleasing patronage unci the MUM . is true of the reading room proper as well as of tho pe riodical literature placed thero for free ac cess and nse.

Whether the library can continue to grow a vigorously in 1804 depends, In the main, upon the extent of the appropria tions for that year. Having now a good start and foundations well laid, ft will be possible then to give especial attention to the matter of duplicating, more or less, In the line of most popular and ' Bervicenble works, and of filling up any classes found deficient in quantity. A "finding list" of books In the circu- USUng department, up to tho oud of Feb ruary, 181)3, wus punted iu March and April, making a handy pamphlet of 204 page in manlila bag-board cover. Being in readiness at the opening of the library aud sqid to book-takers at the nominal price of 10 cents each. I.'.CI copies have been so taken, up to tho close of i the year. Two hundred and fifty copies remained for sale at that date, together with a small number additional in uubouud sheets for future use. Lists of additions to tbe circulating de partment, since the punted finding list, have been currently made on the typo writer aud posted on the bulletin board at the library. During 1894 it will prob ably bo desirable that those and subse quent additions be printed in a supple ment form and supplied to the library patrons. While doing this it may be feas ible, perhaps, to combine with it an author Index to the entire contents of the library and thus supply a feature which was omit ted from the original finding list fur rea sons of economy. As usual, exchanges with other librar ies and Institutions huvo beou carried on sine - the last report; resulting in tho r csipt of many catalogues, reports, bill lot ins and kindred1 publication of interest and value.
