On Sunday evening next at innset
the Jewish year 6054 will have bean
gathered to its fathers, and the new
year OUOO. according to the Jewish oal
endar, will be ushered in with the de
vout prayers of every Israelite. Rosh
Hashono and Yam Klppnr tha day of
atonement which latter ooours on
Wednesday, Oct. 10, are the great Jew
ish religious holidays, and every Jew,
no matter how seldom he visits tut
synagogue during the year, ia to be
found there on the Jewish New Year's
Eve and at the morning ssrvioti held
on New Year's Day. At all the syna-
pognes, orthodox and reformed, ser
vices wlil be held on Sunday night and
Monday morning. Augmented choirs
and sermons SDDropriate to the occa
sion, as well as deooratlons of plants
and nowers in the crowded synagogues,
win make the day memorable.
A feature of the moruing servie-s on
New Year's Day will be the blowing of
tbeshofar, or the ram i horn, peculiar
to that day. Tbt Jewish New Year is
a time of rejoining and merry-making,
rurally reunions and similar festivities.

amused a large audience at tha National
theater Inst night. The mot is laid in the
south during the period fjjust previous to

gether with the absorbing action of the
piay, allow the interest at no time to nag."

Of that famous vocal orcauization. the
Silver Lake quartette, that will appear
with Mead, the lecturer, at the Fro thin g
ham next Monday night, the Chattanooga
Times says: "The singing captured every
body, ltis speech was original, unique and
strong."
T t t
One of the best paring attractions on
the road will make its last appearnuce at
the Frotbiueham on next Wednesday
evening. John L. Sullivan In "A True
American" is a consDicuous nttura on the
dramatic horizon at present. The piece
was written especially for Mr. Sullivan
by Lawyer Edmund E. Price, of New
lorn, f rom the moment wueu Mr. Sulli
van, as John Desmond, arrives on tbe
stage the interest never flags. The second
and third acts gives a programme of well
selected specialties, and tbe last act serves
as a sort of climax, for it is then that tbe
redoubtable and long invincible John L. is
nimseir, ana givos an exhibition or tbe
manly art of boxing that is all too short
in tbe opinion of the audiences.
t t t
Aognstos Thomas, the author of "Ala
bama," was for many years a reporter on
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. His salary
was ws per ween. Hive years ago be
turned his attention to play writing. He
is worth 2110,000 today. His most success
ful play, "Alabama," will be presented at
tbe Frotbioptaam next Thursday evening
for the benefit of the stage employes.
t t t
Manager Bcrrandcr of the Academy of
Musio writes as follows to This Tbibune
concerning those attractions tbit will be
seen at his house next week: "I am
pleased to call special attention to the pro
duction Monday evening of tbe delightful
comedy 'The Amazons' from tbe Lyceum
theater, New York, with Johnstone Ben
nett, Isabella Irviug, Elaine EIIUod, Ida
Vernon, Lonise Lyle, George Ellison,
Beaumont Smith, Lorimer Stoddart and
others in the cast. The novelty of its con
struction, the oddity of some of the ladies
in Dioomer costumes ana the general
modern idea of the plot makes it a truly
dellghtfnl performance. Those who fail
to attend will miss one of tbe roost
thoroughly enjoyable and refined enter
tainments that we will have this season.
"Tuesday evening. Oct. 2. Primrose and
West's colossal aggregation of minstrel
talent, forty white aud thirty black, will
give a unique entertainment deserving
patronage of all who appreciate original
ity, eutorpnze and liberality. Nothing
of this kind has ever before been at
tempted.
"Thursday. Oct. 4. JoseDh S. Hawortb.
M. A. Kennedy, Charles B. Hanford,
Charles Abbott, Isabelle Evesson, Maud
Haslain, Mrs, E. A. Eberle and others will
present in au elaborate form Lester Wal
laek's pleuaantly remembered play, 'Roe
dale.' The production is of exceptional
merit and refreshing to tbeater-goers who
do not care for, or who have been surfeited
with farce comedy. It is a legitimate
dramatic performance.
"1 make this timely announcement of
these three special entertainments, to en
able those may desire to have an evening
of much pleasure to make tbe arrange
ments itccord i ugly, aud not miss them. I
appreciate the confidence of tbe patrons
of tbe Academy of Musio for my special
indorsements, aud know that by comply
ing witn my suggestion it will add to the
fact that L irrespective of pecuniary con
siderations, recommend specially only
entertainments worthy tbe patronage of a
uiscriminating puuuc.

London, Seut. 15. The most nota
ble event this past week has been a
sad one. I refer, of course, to the death
of the Comte do Parisv His loss will
be felt more in ingianu tnan iu tne
land of his birth. For many years oft
and on he has resided in England.
The late cointe's residence at Btowe
Buckingham is a beautiful house sur
rounded by well timbered grounds and
commanding a glorious view. He was
a just and generous landlord and a
charitable gentleman. His illness has
lasted over two years, cut uas been
kept very quiet, and toward the last
he suffered terribly with the greatest
patience.
His career was a curious one. At
the age of 4 he and his brother were
robbed of a good father, who was
killed through jumping from a car
riage the horses of which were run
ning away. lie bad married a uer
ninn princess wiio had been a good and
faithful wife, their union being in
every way a happy one. The widow
devoted all her attention to her little
sous, the comte and his brother, the
Uuc de unartres, and tney were pro
vided with the best of tutors. The
comte proved au apt scholar and made
rapid progress. Misfortune set in
when his grandfather, Louis Phillipe,
abdicated in his favor, the French ob
jecting to the rule or a woman, and it
was necessary that the comte's mother
should rule his actions. The people
also held strong objoctions to the Due
de Nemours as regent. Consequently
a provisional government was drawn,
the duohess and her sons listening to
the speeches thai expelled them from
their Home, xuey were ouugeu to ny
the chamber owing; to the mob break
ing in, the little boys being separated
lrom their mother and only being res
cued with dilllculty.
All hows of a monarchv belnir at an
end they fled to Belgium, and from
thence on to jungiana. me aucness
died in 1849 aud in 1800 the comte and
his brother paid a visit to the east,
and the comte started on his literary
career by publishing an accouut of the
trip.

In 18G1 they journeyed to America
and joined the forces of General Mc
Clellan, witnessing the various strug
gles at loriuown, wuuarasburg, air
Oaks and Gaines' mill. Owing to the
interference of Napoleon, however,
they retired, and returned to England
the following year. In 1871, the ban
ishment law being repealed, the uuKes
again entered France aud lived quietly
at Eu. The death of the Comte do
Chambord, however, again brought
trouble and pretext was soon made for
further banishment.
After a further visit to the States the
comte resided quietly at Btowe until
his death. He died surrounded by his
family, including his eldest daughter.
the Queen ot Portugal, ana nis son, tne
Due d'Orleans. His tenants and neigh'
bors will miss him greatly. His funeral
was very impressive and attended by

A history attaches to the tri-coioi ed
flag that rested on the coffin. When
the Comte de Paris was driven a sec
ond time from his fatherland he em-
bar-ed on a little vessel by name
'Victoria." In honor of tbe count
she carried the tri colored flag, which
the captain presented to him as a me
mento. The comte cherished the flag
and kept it on his study shelf until the
dav of his death. Btraugcly enough
the little piece of bunting was all that
remained of the "Victoria," as she was
totally wrecked In the channel two
years later.

his father, is a line looking young rel
low. Up to the prcseut he has been
somewhat go-ahead and was connected
with the Madame Melba divorce case.
He achieved considerable, but fleeting
popularity when he defied the exile
law ana returned to raris ami ciaimea
to serve as a conscript. He took the
occasion after his father's funeral to
address a few words to his followers.
Who knows what mny not happen to

A daring robbery has been commit
ted at the general postofllce. A porter,
whilst earring three mall bags contain
Ine registered letters from the mail-cart
to the sorting room, was intercepted by
a postman and relieved of the bags, It
never entered the porter's head that
the man was a thief aud ho returned
for another load. But on checking the
bncs three had mysteriously disap
peared. A few days later fifty pounds
was exchanged at the postoftice for
postal orders, the notes being indorsed.
The notes turned out to be amougst
those stolen in the bags. The indorse
ments were compared with the em
ployes' handwritings and the thief was
Boon cornered. The man was engaged
to be married on nineteen shillings per
week or about $4.50.
II II II
At a general court of the proprietors
of the Bank of England a great scene
occurred owing to one or two members
requiring to know the particulars of
the last cashier's (Mr. May) several
transactions. Mr. May played a great
deal into the hands of his sons, who
were stockbrokers, and it is Btated that
25,000 was lost over various transac
tions. He quoted several Instances
and when he bad finished the governor
stated that he bad a letter from Adrian
Hope (one of the persons mentioned)
stating that he did not authorize the
statements circulated, and that al
though he certainly lost something by
Mr. May's advice, he was fully satis
fled with all arrangements made by
the bank to recompense him. His
statements were regarded as wholly
satisfactory aud the rest of the pro
ceedings were amicable:. Among other
statements that which pertained to
the "Baring smash" was of a reassur
ing nature, as there seems little doubt
that no loss will fall upon the guaran
tors. ... . i

Boo-hoo! Corbett says he will not
fight in England, not even if he was
given Windsor bastlle. We don't want
to give him Windsor bastlle; it Co&t too
much to furnish. And, stiungeto say,
we don't want Corbett! Admirers of
the iistlc art (?) are sick of big fights
and find more fun and determined
pluck among the lesser lights of the
profession, and of a surety it costs less.

A subcommittee has met to consider
the best means of checking the ten
dency to cut away the hulls of yachts
underwater. They consider that the
cutting away process has gone far
enough, but recommend that before
altering any rule an attempt should be
made to introduce an International
rating principle, and suggested that
negotiations should be forthwith
opened with the New York Yacht club
with the view or bringing about this
result.

Anyone from the old country and
many who have only visited it will
know the name of Nellie Farren, the
burlesque actress, and will rejoice with
her at the instantaneous success of her
son Farren Sou tar, as an actor. He
appeared as Bobbie Itlvers in the
"Gaiety Girl" and made a great hit,
his dancing and singing pleasing the
audience greatly.

The lords aud commoners are scat

Southend seems to be a happv haven
for suicides and murders. Two suicides
have taken place there this week, and
a great deal of concern was occasioned
there owing to the sudden disappear
ance of a good looking girl. She was
eventually discovered at a married
sister's house at liourford. In the
police court the girl told an extra
ordinary story. Her "young man"
was in a despondent state and the girl
proposed to nim that tney should die
together, consequently she left her
home suddenly and met him near
itourtord in fessex where he took and
gave her a dose of poison, but it was
not strong euougn and alter enduring
it an hour sue told him to stab her
which he did in the neck. After a
while she told him to stab her again
and the unfeeling wretch indicted a
wound on her breast and again on the
neck But it was not to be, for neither
died and they took separate trains, she
going to Rourford where a doctor pro
nounced tne wounds not dangerous.

A man of the name of John Davies
has just died. Davies was one of the
very few survivors of the "Light Bri
gade, whose famous charge Tennyson
has Immortalized. He served tbrougn
the Ciunean campaign, sharing in the
perils and dangers of that awful war.
But John Davies has had an ample re
ward, lor did he not die in a work
house? He, poor fellow, was admitted
in an advanced state or consumption,
and a tund is being raised in tiiedis
trict of Kettering, where the work
house is situated, to give this member
of the "noble six hundred" a prlval
funeral. Another death of interest is
that of George Barrett, the brother of
Wilson .Barrett, the actor. George
was only forty five and started life in
a printing office, but he soon followed
in the footsteps of his brother and took
to the stage. His two great successes
were in the "Silver King." when be
played the part of Juikcs. aud as the
grave digger in "Hamlet." He was
well liked aud will be greatly missed

A smart capture by a detective of an
Americau who was "wanted" on the
other side is reported by a Liverpool
paper. He was traced to one of tbe
boats running between Liverpool and
North Wales. The "tec" started for
Llandudno by train, but arrived at the
pier to see the boat making olt with
his quarry on board. A knowledge of
tbis part or tne country served bun
well and he took an immediate train
to Bangor, where he took a cab a mile
and a half to Garth Point. The boat
was in sight and he must reach Beau
maris before it arrived, so he offered
some boatman ten shillings to land
him at Beaumaris pier, which is three
miles across the water, before the
steamer arrived. The rowers did a
record aud reached their goal two min
utes before the boat arrived, when Mr,
Detective calmly awaited its arrival
and secured his prey.

claring tfcem to be powerful entice
ments to sin. A representative of the
morning newspaper on reading an ac
count of the sermon, persuaded the
reverend gentleman to accompany him
to see a series or tbe onendlng pictures.
At the Empire the clergyman expressed
nimseir as wen pleased witn tne beau
tiful presentiments of noted painters,
but at the Palace he was far more
shocked, and one or two pictures such
as "The Storm" and "A Naiad" were
severely reprobated. He declared one
picture, "The Polar Star," consisting
oi saia star ana an exquisitely iormea
woman witn very little on, to be dan
gerous in its beauty. He had a chat
with tbe manager afterward and
especially depreciated the offensive
"foiar Btar," but the manager saia

The Dunottar Castle, a fine steamer
trading between England and the
Caie. narrowly escaped being wrecked
not long ago. tsne was ruatung for
Plymouth in a dense fog when the cry
we'nt up of "breakers ahead." Tbe
engines were put full speed astern and
in auotber moment tier bow grazed
the rocks with a dull scraping sound.
The fog lifted and the Eddystone light
was just anead or them, it was some
time before the ship drew off and
glided serenely into deep water again.
The damage done was very slight,
but a Jobannesbury man who was on
board, Informed me tbat several ladies
fainted, and that had the boat been
going full speedon,a miracle could only
nave averted a terrible wreck. While
on the sabject of boats I would men

Things are exceedingly flat in the
sporting world. Cricket is now over,
and Surry, a southern county, bos
again won the championship. York
shire had very hard luck in not being
bracKetea witn tiieir soutnern rivals,
their last match, in which thev held a
strong lead, not being finished owing
to bad weatner and consequently be
ing drawn, whereas had they won the
match they would likewise have come
out "on top." The team from South
Ainca that has been trying its luck
over here this summer is now return
ing. The captain says that they have
only taaen ouo in gate money, conse
quently the gentlemen bold enough to
guarantee their expenses will have to
ante up VI shillings in the 1. Other
wise the tour has been a success. One
of the team, a sterling bat, in the per

captain scratching his yacht for all en
gagements this season, owing to the
sad drowning of the mate and one of the
crew of the Britannia. Captain Carter
is very sad at the loss of his trusty
compauion aud was not at all sorry to
finish racing this year. The Mguunt,
too, has been "in the wars," but is now
racing again. During tbe repairs to
ber center board the latter twice sun it
and had to be recovered by means iof
divers. The German emperor is select
ing new designs for a yacht for next
season, it is to be built in Germany.
This is a new departure, and the
yacht's appearance next season will be
a matter of Interest. The champion
swimmer of America, James McCus-
ker, and James Jr inner, a one-time
ciiampion of England, are matched to
swim a mile at Blackpool, but very
little interest attaches to tiie race, as
unless the American has gone oil con
siderably it is a foregone conclusion for
him.

Miss Francis Grey, doctor of laws, is a

has a pleasant voice and is anything
but a "bluestocking," being fond of
tennis aud other games, bhe studied
law more for an outlet for her excep
tional abilities than anything else, but
has no intention ot practicing, bhe is
excellent at languages and drawing,
and is very tond ol music, bhe was
engaged to be married to a young doc

very clay nxed lor the wedding, anu
Miss Grey is seeking congenial work
to drown' her grief. She entertains the
highest opinions or the American
methods of education how she would

The interest of Scrantoniana In mnaln
is illustrated in the announcement
made by Dr. Leete. prejldent of the
ssranton urmorio society, to the effect
that a well-known business man of the
city has denoted $230 to tbe soelety to
be mtd in paying the membership fees
of people who have mnslcnl talent but
do not feel able to spare the sash for
mnsieal instrnotion. Tbis will pay
doss for tbe first qnarter for nearly
eighty people. Tbis will afford
grand opportunity to those not feeling
to meet the requirements of fees, to
become members of this society. All
applicants are requested to meet Mr.

den, father of the young vocalist who
has charmed the attendants at the tent
meetings with bis magnificent voice,
after tbe rendition of Tallia Morgan's
latest song, announeed tbat be was just
about to publish a book of songs and
tbat tbe work was ready for the prin
ter. He said, however, that while in
tbis city be had been so favorably Im
pressed with tbe musio in Mr, Morgan's
compositions that he bad decided to
destroy the plates of six musical cum
bers tbat bad been prepared for the
book in order to make room for Mr.
Morgan's compositions, which ha re
garded as smong tbe finest he had ever
listened to.

Dhe Fuller building on Lackawanna
avenue, over tbe Fair, ia being fitted
up for the Scranton School ot Musio,
which will open with a beginners
class in sight singing next Thursday
evening. Tallie Morgan established
this school two years ago, and last
winter nearly 700 students attended
the various sight singing olasies. So
large has tbe school become tbat it has
become nssessary to seoure new quar
ters, and be has been fortunate in get
ting such a central loeation. Sight
singing bas been a positivo neoessity
in a musical education, and when one
can secure tbe best of Instruction for
(1 a month it would seem tbat hun
dreds would avail themselves of tbe
opportunity. George C. btebbins,
while here a week or two ago, said tbat
Mr. Morgan had the finest svstem of
sight singing he had ever seen, and
strongly urged bim to publish it in
book form at onee.
t t t
A visit to the Young Men's Christian
Assoeintion hall last Saturday after
noon revealed an interesting sight.
There wsre a great crowd of children.
ranging in ages between 9 and 13 years,
receiving tbeir weekly musio in read
ing from Tallie Morgan. After some
time spent iu skipping from note to
note ou the scale marked on tbe black
board, the teacher dictated in fig; ores
a new marohtog aoug he had just then
composed. Every obild took down tbe
figures met as quickly given, and then
ang tbe song from the figures just as
if they had always known it Then
tbey were instructed to translate the
song into notes, some in tbe key of C,
others in D, A flat, B and other keys.
It is simply wonderful bow readily
these children did the work, and a
work that would put to shame a great
many of our growu up singers.

Acoording to tbe Rssord, "levers of
