THE SCKAOTOX TRIBUTE MOTDAr MORNING, OCTOBER 9, 1894. T BATTLE COKTO A CLOSE This Week the Final Straggle for Su premacy Will Take Place. BRIGHT REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK All the Indications Point to a Decisive Re publican Victory-Meetings That Have yieen Arranged for the Balance of the Campaign. This will be the most Interesting week of the campaign. Candidates will be hurrying to and fro strengthening- their fences and encouraging waver ing lieutenants, while an army of ora tors will Invade all parts of the county to enlighten the dear people about what the different political parties are willing to do for them. The events of the last week serve to strengthen the belief that the victory of the Republican party will be clear and decisive. That the Democrats have become thoroughly desperate is evidenced by the efforts being made to deceive the people. The Times continues to stick to Its "1 a day" story about F. H. dem ons, but makes no effort to substantiate it, although Mr. demons and City Clerk Lavelle have positively stated that no such remark was ever made by Mr. demons at a council meeting. The Times is evidently a firm believer in the policy of lying and sticking to the lie. Me Too Burke. Michael Turnover Burke, the Demo cratic candidate for legislature in the Fourth district, la another who believes in sticking to what he says, even at the risk of convicting himself of being a monumental falsifier. Mr. Burke's ef frontery in persisting that he voted for the Farr free text book bill against the mountains of evidence to the contrary, Is one of 'the highly amusing, if not edifying, features of the campaign, and a few years ago Mr. Burke was a school teacher and had the moulding of young minds intrusted to his care. The visit of General Hastings and party, followed by Congressman Bro Bius and ex-Lieutenant Governor Da vles, to the county during the last week aroused great enthusiasm for the Re publican candidates and redoubled in terest that members of the party take In the campaign. This week the work of spreading the light will continue and meetings will be held every night Meetings of the Week. Secretary "W. S. Millar, of the Re publican county committee, has pre iK.rort the fnllnwlniz srhedule of meet ings to be held during the remainder of the campaign; On Monday, Oct. 29, at the armory, Factoryvllle; speakers, George M.

It Is the intention of the Democratic leaders to use every effort to give Can didate Slngerly a big- receptlofi when he visits this city this week. There will be a parade of clubs of the county, red fire and all that sort of thing, fol lowed by oratory at the armory on the beauties of free trade. It Is hoped that ft 1 ii i yt injup ui wiin muu win strengthen the wavering lines and keep the party In something like a com pact mass on election day. The candidates doubt the eflloacy of the remedy and each la out working for himself individually. All thought of standing together was abandoned some time ago, and each Democratic nomi nee is now pursuing a tireless still hunt for votes. The Prohibitionists have also reserved their heavy cannonading for thla week They will have Joseph Cook to deliver , an address at the Frothlngham and Charles L. Hawley. candidate for trov. ernor, will deliver a number of speeches iin-ougii me i-.acKawanna and Wyon lng valleys. The People's party will also wage an parnesi Dattie for votes in which ora tory will cut quite a figure. ELECTION OFFICERS NAMED.

There Is No Better One in America Than Kev. Joseph Cook. Joseph Cook, who will sneak at the Frothingham Nov. 1, has lectured in Boston nineteen years. He faces 3,000 men and women in Tremont temple every Monday noon. His lectures cover all reform topics and he has published eleven volumes which are widely clrcu- iiiieu at nome ana abroad. Air. Cook probably ranks as Ameri ca's greatest living lecturer. IN LOCAL THEATERS. Ihnes and his famous New York band. which is now the biggest, as it is the oest in tiie world, will appear here again in grand musical festival of "War artd Peace" at the Frothingham on Saturday afternoon and night; Nov. 3. This organization comes directly from Pittsburg, where it achieved unprece dented musical triumphs in Its seven weeks' engagement at the Western Pennsylvania exposition. During the engagement in this city this celebrated body of muslcluns will give two per formances of the great musical histori cal spectacle of War and Peace, which was composed by Innes himself especially for the recent twenty-elgth national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which convened in September last In the Smoky City. War and Peace was perfomed Jive times during the encampment week, and not less than 100,000 people heard the several renditions given by this great organization, .assisted by four vocal artists of renowned reputations, a battery of rapid fire electric artillery, several companies of armed militia, and war veterans. The spectacle created a most profound sensation, and at the close of each performance the vast au dience rose to their feet en masse, cheering and joining In the last thrilling air of "America." In Scranton the per formance will be given by the gig band of fifty musicians, the quartette of solo ists, battery of artillery, and all the other accessories which controbuted to the great success of the initial perform ance. Among tha vocalists will be found Miss Martha Garrison Miner, one of the most marvelous sopranos of the age, a young lady whose singing has created a genuine furore wherever sne has appeared. The others are Mr. C. C. Ferguson, whose reputation as a tenor is well known all over the country; H. M. Imano, basso, and Miss Louise En- gel, who supported Mme. Paul and Mme. Nordica on their respective tours during the last two amusement seasons. The box office will open for sale of seats Wednesday morning, 9 o clock, at regu lar prices. II II II Mr. Pratt's opinion of "Fantasma," which was presented In Wllkes-Barre on Friday and Saturday evenings, aa it appeared In the Wllkes-Barre depart ment of the scranton Kepuuiican: a packed houf e wi enticed to the Grand Opera house last evening by tne iame of "Fantasma," one of the most suc cessful of the enchantment school or dramas. Elaborate as this production has seemed upon previous representa tions in this city, that elaboration has been vastly accentuated by the genius rf the p'.age conjurer, as every season rtivplons new and more stnrtiinar i"' mystifying devices for surprising and amazln? the show-goingmultltude. The eTects, spectacularly speaking, are daz- 'Ing. ann some ul them almost aeiy known methods of deception. There is enly one feat'irc in which this "Fan tasma," or rut! er Its personnel, Is weak. It needs a dozen or so of pretty faces to fill ".he p'ae s ef hoie shown last even ing. In every other particular "Fan tasma" is qu:le all that could be ex uded o. ire or vlnclal gtHce." II ll li , , , . The announcement of the Initial per formance of the "White Concert" series at the Frothingham Tuesday evening, Oct. 30, will be delightful news to the many admirers of music. Mr. Froth ingham brought the Ladles' Symphony orchestra to this city from Boston for the special purpose of musical advance ment In our city and to establish here the only ladles' grand orchestral con cert company, which in itself is an ex cellent advertisement for Scranton; hence our people should show their ap preciation of the fact by filling the ele gant theater next Tuesday night. The series of concerts will, consist of six performances and the price charged to each will be only DO cents, there being no extra charge Jor reserved seats. Special vocal talent will be engaged for each concert. The vocal boIos Tues day evening will be rendered by Miss Annette Reynolds, contralto, of this elty; Miss Stollborg, soprano, of New York, and also Mr. llollman, .tenor, of New York; Individual solos by the following ladles: Miss French, harp; Miss Moreser, violin; Miss Beckett, flute, and Miss Packard, cornet, will be Included In the programme. The following concerted numbers by the Ladies' orchestra will also be present' ed: The "Norma" overture, the Hun garian "Fantasia," the "Beau Brum' mell Gavotte" and the "Coronation March" from the "L'Prophet," by jueyerueer. - , II II II ' Jolly Nellie McIIenry, the charming and vivacious comedienne, who has been crowding the theaters nlehtlv all over the coi i.try, 'omes i the Academy of Music on Wednesday evening in her circo-comedy, "A Night at the Circus." It is a farce-comedy with a plot. some. thing rather exceptional to this style or entertainment; nevertheless, the clr cus has a well founded plot that can be followed with a great deal of interest The, pretty music and catchy songs are all new, and the specialties novel and original. "A Night at the Circus" Is said to be a refined and charming enter tainment, well worth seeing. II II II "Uncle Tom's Cabin," as produced by the Markoe company, will hold the boards at Davis theater this week. It Is a new and original dramatization by MIssMarkoeof Harriet Beecher Stowe's famous story, and is pronounced by the press and public, wherever It has been given, as the best presentation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" ever seen. It Is produced by a carefully selected company of dra matlo stars. There Is also a band of genuine Mississippi river Jubilee sing' ers, the members of which render some delightful selections. II M II .- "Lem Kettle," the new American comedy which Mr. Tim Murphy, George Richards and Eugene Canfield will pre sent at the Academy on Thursday night, is by Henry Guy Carleton, whose recent plays have added materially to the reputation of Nat Goodwin and John Drew. "Lem Kettle" has a curi ously quaint and musical ring in it that savors of. laughable situations and droll Incidents. HELPING FLORENCE MISSION.

Tcarce Says it Cannot Be Solved Until Eternity, THEIR WORK OX THIS EARTH Myriads and Millions Throng the Avenues of Life-Examples of Their Powerful Ministrations to Man-Do They Minister Today? A large congregation assembled at the Elm Park church yesterday morn ing to hear an admirable discourse from the pastor, Rev. W. H. Pearce, D. D., upon the theme of "Angels." The sermon was eminently practical and was a broad-minded and thoroughly evangelistic exposition of the Scrip ture, which would be received by the learned theologian and the illiterate with equal pleasure. The reverend gentleman based his remarks from Psalm lxxxxl, 11: "For He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways." In the course of his sermon, Mr. Pearce said: "It is often asked whether there Is such an order of being as angels; and they are so far removed from our com prehension, and their mode of minis trations are so mysterious, that a dis course on this subject is often regarded as unprofitable. Let us observe In the first place the contrast between the In strumentality for which they are em ployed and the purpose for which that Instrumentality is used. They are spoken of as powerful beings, excelling In strength, endowed with terrible power and thereby overcoming physi cal and natural enemies, devils and vast armies of men. Job reports that they held the four winds of heaven. In executing their orders from God and carrying out his purposes they smote the men of Bodom and sent fire and, storm which swept away the city; they smote the first born of Egypt, and an angol held the sword between heaven and earth. Angels destroyed 75,000 men, sealed the mouths of the Hons while Daniel slept with the peaceful ness of a child, and when Peter was In prison, held by shackles and chains, the angels touched his shackles so lightly and softly that the keepers were not awakened.

We also have a glimpse of wfiii uii mount sinai, wnere we read of thousands of angels, and Daniel in discoursing of his vision speaks of thousands and tens of thousands of angels, ministering to God, and encom passing his saints through all the ages of the world.

JUDGES WERE UNFAIR. The Allegation Made with Regard to One of Kvents of Saturday's Kuces. Saturday was an Ideal day for racing, but the sport of kings was divested of some of its pleasure in the races of the Gentleman's Driving club. Only seven horses started In three events and In one race the decision of the judges was held to be very unfair. Four entries were scratched In the 2.40 class, which left only L. T. Payne's big black gelding Duke, and J. H. Suth erland s brown gelding Brownie E in the race. Brownie won the first by several lengths. In the second heat Coughing.

BQe.Mdtl Duke was placed first, although he ran for a furl dig In the back stretch and beat Brownie out by only a length. Duke won the third beat by a scant length. The decision of the judges was not prcl 'sted by B'o'.nle's driver. Dr. tfiuo.r's brown mae Abigail, and J. H. Ladwlg's sorrel gelding Blue were beaten In the 2.30 class by G. M. Shelly's Fanny Blair. The result was a surprise to the - talent ,as the race looked a sinecure for thtf speedy sorrel, and Abigail vns expeoted to at least get second position. It only required two heats to decide the race. Mr. Shelly's Beauty J won two heats out of three from M. T. Keller's mare B C.in the fifty class. .Each heat was hotly contested. ' !. Jim Mears, driven 'by Cook, and Charlie Stllson, ' driven by Westlake, trotted three exhibition mile heats. Mears won the first heat, Stllson the second, and the third was a dead heat The time was 2.24, 2.20W, 2.19. ST. LUKE'S iMAGAZINE. Contains the Annual Reports of the Work of the Past Year.
