James B. Mackie, the character come
dian, who has been starring for the past
tour seasons in "Urimes' Cellar Door," win
be tbe attraction at the Academy of Music
this evening in George C. Jenks' latest
play, "The Side Show, or Wait for the
Wagon." It is described as a play of side
snow life, natural, nuaint and excruciat'
ingly funny. Mr. Mackie stands today as
tbe recoenized tvnlcal cbaracter comedian
of the American stage, and it is claimed
that in "Tbe Side Show," which Mr. Jenks
wrote specially for him, he bas made tbe
bit or dim ure, ana has won lasting recog
nition as an artist of the highest qualifica
tions. Nothing more natural has been
seen on the stage than bis "Urimesey," tbe
pet of the side show. Both play and star
have made the greatest kind of a hit
wherever seen.
t t t
Cue of tbe best dramatic treats of the
seaBon is promised by the management of
the Academy of Music on Monday even
ing, it being tbe engagement of Thomas
W. Keene, tbe eminent tragedian, and
company in Bulwer Lytton's famous ro
mantic drama, "Richelieu," and in which
Mr. Keene is said to be seen at his st,
the cbaracter of Kicbelleu p- .nore
adapted to his peculiar taler n those
in which he has heretofore appeared in
this city. Mr. Keene needs no extended
notice about bis abilities as a first class
tragedian, for bis reputation herein Scran
ton is well known and we can almost as
sure him that he wiU be greeted by a large
audience. There are only two great tra
gedians on tbe stage today who are play-
ins Kicueneu anu wno can give the char
acter its full justice. They are Henry
Irving, tbe great English tragedian, and
Thomas W. Keene, tbe American trage
dian. Every attention to the minor de
tails, etc., will be given "Richelieu," so
that we can expect a complete production
Mr. Keene carries an exceptionally strong
compnuy, every member being an artist of
high standing. Tbe sale of seats will open
at tbe dox omce on t naay morning.
T t t
Patrons of the Academy of Music wilt
recoenizn a welcome visitor on Tuesdav
evening in tbe coming of Charles iloyt'
farce comedy, A Trip to uninatown."
The engagement will bn noticeable for
more than one reason. The play holds tbe
record of having bad a longer rnn in the
metropolis than any otber production, no
matter bow elaborate, that has ever been
seen in tbe city of .New York. Tbe presen
tation to be seen at the Academy of Music
is identical wltb that given in Mew York
Not only does it embrace the same cast,
bnt every particle of sconery and all prop
erties, in fact everything down to tbe
minutest detail is brought to this city for
this engagement. The cast is the same,
includiug Harry Conor as Welland Strong,
Ueorge A. Bean, Jr., Ueraluiue McLann
Margaret McDouald, Harry Oilfoil and
that famous lttle ludv who has danced her
way into the hearts of the people wherever
she has appeared, Bessie Clayton. "A
Trip to Chinatown," it is safe to predict,
will more than recent its success of last
year. Sale of seats will open on Saturday
morning at me oox oince.

OWER - OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
Was the Subiect of the Afternoon
Address The Tent Meeting" Will
Be Continued Mr. Bliss at Provi
denceMr. Schivera and Mr. Weed
on at Hyde Park After.MeetJng at
Elm Park Church.
Although the capaoloas Elm Park
o bur oh bas been overcrowded at the
various meeting addresed by Evange-
lst Moody, last night was tbe climax
of bigb attendance. Not only were
nodreds compelled to stand craning
tbeir necks over those in front of them
catch a glimpse of tbe famous
evangelist, but hundreds sorrowfully
retraced their steps, being unable to
obtain admission,
This large attendance was due in
part to tbe fact that it was the last
service that Mr. Moody will conduct in
this city during the present campaign.
Alter tue usual preliminary services
Mr. Moody addressed the audience,
basing bis remarks upon tbo words,
Thou art not far from the Kingdom
f Ctod." In introducing bis sermon
lie referred to tbe examination of
Christ by tbe Pharisees and Saddueees
nd to the answer Christ gave to the
scribe, "Thou art not far from tbe
Kingdom of God." Mr. Moody then
went on to sav:
I am sure, my friends, that tens of thou
sands are in tbe same position as that
scribe. They are near tbe kingdom of
God, and if our churches wonld ouly put
their armor on and thine out there would
be n wave from Maine to California by
which millions would be brought Into the
Church of Christ, There Are many in
Scranton coming nearer, as the crowds
which gather each night testify.
LESSON FHOM HEROD,
Mr. Moody then at some length gave a
graphic description of Herod listening
to tbe sermons of John tbe H iptist and
how Herod came near tbe kingdom of
God but was prevented by bis sin of
adnltery. In drawing deductions from
tbe lesson Mr. Moody said:
I can imagine Herod striving to conceal
his tears wbicb, however, were too strong
for mm and as 1 myself have seen men re
sort to all devices to conceal tbe tears
which they deemed to be unmanly, but
tbe same man would think it manly to
knock his wife around tbe bouse. John
the Baptist was plain with Herod in tell
ing hi m of his sins and if you bave a time
serving minister who will not deliver tbe
message or uod to tbe rich you may de
pend that he is a devil sent man. If he
speaks smoothly be is your enemy.
The preacher should proclaim nothing DUt
the truth and we want more of the John
the Baptist sort of men. Men that will
not flatter us: the devil can do that right
enough, because when a minister DeginB
to toue down God's message, God puts bim
to one side. I have beard men Buying,
What a fine fellow Moody is" nntil he
is bit, and then his opinion of D. L. Moody
undersoes a sudden alteration.
If vou hear any one going on about
Moody you can make sure that I bave bit
him. What we want is a real revival, and
not this gush or sentiment or these cries of
"Ha e uiah."
If you are going to see the kingdom or.
God you cannot make any compromise
with vour sins. Even if you give up ninety-
nine sins and keep one you are no better.
That verv sin keeDB vou out of tbe king
dom of God. Herod sold out for an adul
terous woman. You can say what your
Bin is. What is tbe sin that yon are going
to sell ont for! Is it a harlot? Is it whisky?
Is it money? Is it pride? Is it envy? Is
it jealousy? Every man and woman here
can soon find ont what is the value of their
own tin.
Toe maioritv here present will probably
not hear niv voice again. You will bear
better Dreaobiue and tatter sermons, bat
if I have any influence I beseech you step in
tbe kingdom of uou this nigbt.
DEATH OF A SINNER.
After relating a most patbetio and
flflectlnz incident in tbe death of a
friend be bad endeavored to convert
and who told bim on bis death bed that
bis damnation was sealed, Mr. Moody
described his last words which were
Tbe harvest is past: the summer is
ended and I am not saved. He suld it
was tbe saddest parting or nis ute.
Tbe sonl of bis friend was boron in a
Cbristless grave. Mr. Moody concluded
his sermon with an appeal to bis bear
ers that if they were near the kingdom
of God not to go out of tbe meeting
without making tbeir peace and be
seeching tbem to let it be tbe last night
that they would reject tbe Saou of God
Thus ended tbe last of a series of elo
qaent sermons of the world-renowned
evaDgelist in Scranton, at least for
some time although a thousand ardent
wishes are expressed to bear bim
again.
In response to the invitation of Mr.
Moody to bis audience to accept Christ
about 600 adjourned to tbe basement,
where be gave a short address on obe
dience, with forcible illustrations,
Abont thirty persons came forward and
pledged themselves to embrace tbe
faith of Christ
Althoogu Mr. Moody leaves Scranton
today, the tent campaign will be con
tinned with the usual vigor during the
month. Evangelist Bliss will address
meetinun in the tent at Providence,
wbcrj Tallin Morgan will conduot
lrge choir. Evangelist Schivera will
conduct the services nt the Gospel tent,
Hyde Park, where Mr. Weedon will
bave cbarge of the musical services.
HIS AFTERNOON SERMON
Mr. Moody continued his address on
"Tbe Holy Spirit" at Elm Park cbnrch
yesterday afternoon. Ou resuming his
practical remarks hesiid:
If there is any division in the cburcb
tbe only thing that will bind them to
gether is tbe Holy Spirit. It is a stronger
tie than even that of blood or tbe mar
riage tie. If men were eudowed more
witb the Holy Spirit yon would hear much
less of divorce cases or church quarrels.
Bear in miud, my friends, that tbe Holy
Spirit is a great binder. I want to show
that every child of God can have this
power. Men bave had power but they
lost it again like Samson of old, wbo bad
bis balr cut, but thank God the roots were
still left and the bair grew again.
During tbe war one of the armies ran
short of cartridges and when tbe supply
arrived the cartridges were a little too
large, but they did not want tbe enemy to
know, so tbey kept on firing blank to
frighten the enemy by noise. There are
plenty of men wbo talk, but tbey bave not
tbe spirit of God. Tbey bave intellectual
power, social power, power from culture
or wealth, bnt that is not tbe power de
rived from the Holy cfpirit. Men may
bave vast influence, bat tbey bave no
fiower. Influence is one tbing and power
s another. Wbat we want is the Holy
Ghost power. Every one of ns can bave
tbis power if we seek It, but it cannot be
obtained in any university or college, but
it must come direct from God. ,

AFTEU A FRANCHISE.
Scranton Rapid Transit Company to
Urge the Acceptance of Its Propo
sition on Councils.
The Scranton Rapid Transit com
pany bas not relinquished its effort to
secure from the city tbe right of way
for trolley lines in various sections of
the city. It is understood that an ef
fort will be made to have favorable sc
tion taken by tbe railways committee
of common council on an ordinance
granting tbem a franchise previous to
ibis evening's session. Tbe common
council, according to ofiiuials of the
iransit company, is considered more
favorable ground for privileges than
the select body.
The ordinance whioh will crobablv
be acted upon by the railways commit
tee today, was received in committee
from tbe common council July 20, and
has since lain inactive. It provides for
tne laying of a single track along cer
tain streets and over the proposed
isoncn ana west side bridges.

nuM payment for crossing the Linden
street bridge, the gratis use of poles for
nrs aiarm boxes ana police telenhoue
and telegraph lines, and agreement to
grade all streets which tbe company
uau ocenpy ana whton are now un
graded. Tbese ure to te tbe oitv's ben
efits according to the ordinance in com
mittee, but it is said that the company,
in view of the growing sentiment
against such franchises, and to over
come antagonism will be willing to
oiler greater inducements.
They agree to begin construction
within six months from tbe passage of
the ordinance, complete the work in
two years thereafter and furnish trans
fers from oue line to any otber.
