Fuller at 614 Bpruce street, presented a brilliant scene during the past week. The occasion being the grand fall display of trimmed pattern, bats, etc To attempt uOTtuyiiun oi u9 magmncent stock exhibited, would take a large amount of space. But it is sufficient to ay that the unique designs, stylish colors aod elegant creations, were the subjeot of many admiring eyes, and that Miss Fuller has added to ber reputation as a dealer in artistic and fashionable millinery by the magnificent display, which it has been the pleasure of many Scranton ladles to ad A foe to Dyspepsia i THE ORIENT TRANSPLANTED. An Entsrprlslna- Hotel Proprietor Gives Els Gues'a a Taate of Eastern Luxury. A new idea In the way of hotel luxury has just been introduced by E. N. Anable, of the Westminster, Sixteenth street and Irving place. New York. It consists of a beautiful little smoking room furnished In true oriental fashion, to which the guests of both sexes repair to sip tiieir after din ner coffee or liquers, thns permitting the inveterate smoker to enjoy the company of his fair companion while indulging in a post-prandial cigar or cigarette. About this inviting little salon there hovers all the languorous charm of the Orient The sensuous enjoyment of the hour, the per fume of the cigar, the aroma of the coffee, are increased by the subdued harmony and richness of the surrounding!. The room is softly lighted by tiny lectrio globes, whose red silk shades suffuse it with a warm, roseate glow which blends harmoniously with the rich Turkish drap eries and exquisite colorings ot the soft cushioned divaus and luxurious arm chairs. Low tables carved in Egyptian pattern are scattered about, holding match boxes and ash trays of polished brass. At the farther end of the room small standards supporting candles, whoso soft light shimmers through scarlet silk shades, are half hidden among palm trees, giving a graceful finish to the artistic whole. The innovation has meet with the en thusiastic approval ot the guests of the Westminster. Every evening the apart ment is the gathering plsce of all who are socially inclined, and the scenes presented are gay and charming to a degree, and unlike anything found in any other hotel in New York. f4 it tlifi TlinnniiD & .iVD lilt J. Hill 111 Ot J, Of Primrose and West's minstrel per formance, which will be seen at the Aca demy of Music tonight, the Beading Herald says: "The good-looking colored people, arranged in two rows of chairs, opened the entertainment with their own orchestra. Tichnor, Dixou, Weathers, Hunn and the Knickerbocker quartet were all clever, and the scene of the 'Old Ken tucky Home' was pathetic. The transfor mation was a magnificent picture, show ing the entire organization arranged in tiers from the footlights to the top draper ies of the stage, and handsamely attired. Professor Carmichael's orchestra played exquisitely. W. H. Wlndom, the remark able alto, sang with much feeling. Harry U. Castle was also fine. Jimmy Wall, Lew Sully and Johnny Whalen were funny without an effort. George H. Primrose made numerous original catchy re mark, was in good voice and dauced with as much ease, grace and ef fect as he did 20 years ago. In fact, be was better than ever before. An exbuber ance of humor pervaded George Wilson from his big toe to the top of his head and be made a great bit. The most accom plished and distinct lnterlooutor in the profession is William H. West. Thomas E. Glynn touched the strings of the banjo artistically. Howe, Wall and McLeod are unequalled as icstrumeutal musicians, and their humorous incidentals were extreme ly funny. On triple bars Uice and Elmer showed wonderful agility and caused roar of laughter with some ludicrous ef forts. An old time sketch ot negro life gave the colored people a chance to show all kinds of dancing, which thev did as only that claim can do it. A troupe of Arabs, in tumbling and balancing, con cluded the great performance, which is, In every particular, the best of its kind ever attempted. The attraction Wednesday night at the Frotuingham will be no less than John L. Sullivan in his new comedy in three acts ty tamuna u. rrice, entitled "A True American." Mr. Sullivan's charaoter ' '.hat of John Desmond, a gentlemanl' land overseer, fits him like a glove. H nade bis first appearance in the above Syra cuse and the press were unanimov .n their praise, and the cheers that gr eted the pugilistic idol of bo many years were tire some to the ear. His appearance in New i orK was most gratifying, so great wns the enthusiasm that Actor Sullivan oould not proceed with bis part, owing to the numerous cheers. Sale of seats now pro gressing.

"Rosedale" hai always been a favorite in this city anj the indications point to a most successful presentation and an immense audience, when Mr. Haworth makes bis visit here. t t t On Friday night at the Academy of Music, Barney O'Neill will be seen in "Irish Inspiration." The New York Com mercial advertiser says: "A sensational drama of the Hibernian order, 'Irish In spiration,' was produced at the Peoples' theater last night. It there is one thing above another the East Side theater goer approves it is to see virtue triumphant and villany squelched. And so it was last night when the heavy man, 'Squire Man uel Fox, a cool-headed concocter of villany, was called before the curtain, the actor who played the part was received with a shower of hisses by the godson high in the gallery; and then when Con Reilly, the rolicklng young Irish gardener, full of the milk of human kindness, was called forth he was cheered loudly." t t t Announcement is made that "Rice's Surprise Party in the big operatic ex travaganza "1402" will be presented in all its mammoth entirety at the Frothlngham Theatre Tuesday and Wednesday nights, and Wednesday matinee, Ojt. 9 and 10.

' ABOUT WELL KNOWN PERSONS. The golden wedding of Captain George W. fiimpson and Louise Harris Simpson, of nantiooke, was celebrated, at tbat place Saturday. The affair was attended by twenty-one grandchildren, one great grandchild, four sons and four daughters, a number ot whom live in this city. Captain and Mrs. Simpson are 73 and 67 years of age respectively . Both were born in Mauoh Chunk, where they were mar ried, and later removed to their present place of residence. Of the ten children born to them eight are living and all are married exotpt John, who lives with his parents; the others are: William T., of Scranton; Harry, of Peckvllle; George, of macticoke; Mrs. mma uobsrts,of Wilkes Barre; Mrs. Mahalla Davenport and Mrs. Anna Detweilsr, of Scranton; Mrs. Laura Good, of Sugar Notch. The great-grandchild is Louise Armbrust, granddaughter of Chief of Police Simpson, of this city. Aside from tbe immediate descendants the anniversary was attended by numer ous relatives who contributed toward the large family which enjoyed a sumptuous dinner at 3.30 o'clock and paassdtheday in pleasant reminiscences and impromptu vocal and instrumental musical entertain ment. Captain Simpson received his military title in tbe Civil war, during which he was confined for eighteen months in Libby prison. Both he and Mrs. Simpson are in excellent health and apparently have many years of happiness in prospect. That nature has dealt kindly with tbe Atherton family of which Dolph B. Ather ton, secretary of the board ot trade, is a member, was Illustrated yesterday when four generations sat for their pictures in the studio of a well-known photographer. Four living generations are not unusual, bin the Atherton case is peculiar and in teresting from tbe fact that all are males and each is a father or a son, no uncles being included in the quartette. Another striking feature is tbat each has lived for a term of years in Scranton and all but one were born here. Jonathan A. Atherton, as be appeared with three of bis descendants about him, looked hale and hearty for a man born eighty-four years ago (1810) on a farm where tbe West Side of the present city is located. During his boyhood what is now Scranton was known as Slocum Hollow, on a grassy knoll of several hundred acres, surrounded by a cordon of swamp laud, the whole nestling in an extensive for est. He had been brought here from New England when a child, and when in after years he removed with his family to a farm near Montrose, he sold bis Hcranton land to- Dr. B. H, Tbroop for a nominal sum. The property was later discovered to contain large deposits of coal. Jeremiah L., sou of Jonathan, was born 87 years ago on the West Side farm and has since re.ided iu the city, excepting his residence ou a farm adjoining his father's near Montrose. He has been in the em ploy of the Delaware and Hudson Canal company thirty-two years and is at pres ent the assistant superintendent of the coul department. Dolph B. Atherton was born SO years ago on a Susquehanna county farm adjoin ing tbe present homestead. He came to Scranton with bis father in 16G5 and has since resided bare. The last, but by no means the least im portant, Atherton of this sketch is R. Nel son Atherton, the 11-year-old son ot Dolph B. Tbe little fellow was fully alive to the sentiment attached to his im portance as one of the group. He was in high glee in view of tbe proposed sit ting for tbe picture and displayed an af fection for bis great-grandfather, which was toqchingly reoiprocated by the old man, tbe two proving the old adage that "blood is thicker than water."
