THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 1, 1895.
"My Fig Cake
is" "splendid; in fact," says
a young housekeeper, '.'it
is almost too good. It
seems as though I were
making cake all the time
for donations or church fairs
or some committee. I tell
them if they will follt w the
recipe in your cook book
and use Cleveland's Baking
Powder they can make
cake just as nice as mine.
I am sure I never made
such cake before. Thanks
both to Cleveland's baking
powder and the cook book."
The recipe book is sent free on receipt

HE NEVER CAME BACK.
L. C. Edwards Works tho City For Two
Days and Then Leaves.
A very clever swindler came to town
last week ami registered at the Vv yorn
ing House under the name of E. C. Ed
wards. He stopped Thursday and Fri
day at the hotel and represented him
self as an Insurance man. He went t
the office of Monies & Jackson, insur
ance agents, and durinfr Mr. Juckson's
absence he made himself at home by
using the latter'a desk.
Further he went to the Seranton
Business college and engaged the ser
vices of a young lady as stenographer
and typewriter. But before that he
rented a Kernlngton machine from Man
ager Snyder, of the Wyckoff, Seamans
& Benedict company, at 421 Lackawan
na avenue. When he took the ma
chine he agreed to pay for It on Satur
day and told the agent to call around to
his olllce. He gave the address of the
office of Monies & Jackson and there
fore deceived the typewriter folks Into
letitliiKihlm have the machine.
On Saturday when tha agent went to
collect his pay Edwards was not to be
seen and the agent waited around for
more than two hours. He saw what ap
peared to be the typewriter on the
stand and when he went to look at It
and liCted the cover, he found the ma
chine gone. On Investigation he dis
covered that the fellow was a fraud and
had no standing whatever. It was use
less to follow him up as he had skipped
the town. Inquiry at the Wyoming
House revealed the fact that an unpaid
board hill was loft behind, and at the
oftlce of Monies & Jackson, an $18 mack
intosh, belonging to Mr. Jackson, was
missing.
The police were notified and have been
given a description of Edwards. He Is
about medium build, of dark com
plexion, and wears a dark heavy mous
tache. His features are round and he
has a well shaped head. He speaks
fluently and has very attractive man
ners. The machine has been described
and any attempt to sell or dispose of It
may lead as a clue to his arrest.

ELABORATE SOCIAL EVENT
Bachelors'. Ball, at tbe Frothinghuin
a Decided Success.
CITY'S
KX0KX PEOPLE
Witnessed tbe Spirited Scene or Danced
I'ntll the Early Hours of This Morning-Most
Extensive Ball Ever
Given in Seranton.
Probably the most elaborate ball
ever given In Seranton was that of the
Bachelors In the Frothlngham theatre
last night. In numbers, perfection and
financial outlay the event may not be
surpassed In several years unless the
Bachelors conclude to continue the ex
tensive function bo auspiciously begun.
At 8 o'clock the guests began to ar
rive, and a half hour later was begun
the first number of twenty-four dances
which lasted well into several hours of
the new year. Possibly three hundred
persons composed the dancers and
spectators, a representative gathering
of the best known society folk from all
sections of the city. The attendance
was quite evenly balanced as to sex
and age, and the bull Is said to have
been attended by an evener number or
young and old than at any previous
affair of Its kind In Seranton.
No sympathy is due the few who
couldn't or didn't participate in ths
terpslchorean pleasure of the evenlne;
because to them was accorded the de
lightful privilege of viewing a scene of
kaleidoscopic and live beauty. The
many new and handsome gowns nt
tested the fact that the ball had been
anticipated for a long period, and the
observlnir woman who took the oppor
tunlty of "getting Ideas" certainly did
not find time hanging heavy on her
hands.
flow tho Interior Looked.
The space allotted for dancing ex
tended from the hall at the rear of the
stage to the railing around the edge of
the orchestra circle. In building the
theater a plan of construction was fol
lowed which permits of the main audi
torlum, or orchestra, being lowered Into
the cellar by means of Jack screws.
This was done to make possible the lay
Ing of the dancing floor, which was
used for the first time last night. The
1,600 square feet of floor space was cov
ered with one large piece of heavy
crash, cut and laid by S. J. Fuhrman &
Co., of this city. To give an Idea of th.
extent of the dancing floor may be noted
the fact that If the square feet of the
Wyoming House dining room were laid
on the stage the latter would only be
three-fourths covered. The dancing
space in the auditorium contained
double as many square feet as that of
the stage. The stringers of running
pine and potted palms and ferns used
In decorating were furnished and
arranged by Florist Clark. Nearly a
score of running pine ropes were Btrung
from the .proscenium and celling and
twined about the balcony pillars and
railings. Pulms and ferns were ar
ranged in the boxes and niches about
the floor and In a wood scene set with
the theater scenery on the west side of
the stage.
The foyer of the theater and ofllce was
furnished with handsome rugs and
furniture supplied from the exquisite
furniture used on the Frothlngham
stage, and this portion of the house was
used during the evening as a promen
ade and parlor and a delightful place
to sip cooling lemonade during the In
termissions.
Reception of Guests.
Guests were received in front of the
boxes on the Penn avenue side of the
auditorium by the following patron
esses: Mrs. James Archbald. Mrs. R
W. Archbald, Mrs. H. J. Anderson
Mrs. Henry Berlin, Jr., Mrs. H. M. Boles,
Mrs. W. T. Smith, Mrs. James P. Dick
son, Mrs. A. M. Decker and Mrs. E. N,
WMllard.
It was after formal greetings had
been exchanged and when music,
dancers and spectators seemed to be
in full sympathy that the scene was
best observed in its complete beauty,
The hundreds of electric and gas lights,
the freshness of green floral trimmings
and plants, the natural mirth of the
dancers, the handsome gowns, the hum
and laughter of conversation, all were
blended by melodious music and furu
lshed a picture which will be romem
bered In the hlBtory of the Bnchelors.
The upper boxes on the west and east
side of the theatre were occupied re
spectively by Buuer's orchestra and
bund, which furnished music without
Intermission from the hour the ball
opened until it closed. The orchestra
played for twenty-four dance numbers,
and during the Intervals two-step music
was furnished by the band. Fifteen
musicians comprised each body, but
their united efforts were unequal to
suppress the fact that the Seranton girl
or matron loves dancing and lots of It
and that the Seranton beau Is perfectly
willing to guide her through any
amount of delightful mazes. All the
band Intermissions of spirited two-step
dance music Inveigled large numbers
upon the floor.
Was a Commendable Feature.
A feature which contributed largely
to the success and pleasure of the eve
nlng was the catering. Last week's
New York papers contutned mention of
Carl Berger, who has recently made
himself prominent through his artistic
and excellent providing at several swell
social events. His success Is explained
In the exquisite Bervlce he rendered
last night. Mr. Berger came to Scran.
ton yesterday with a chef, assistant
chefs, and a dozen waiters and a sub.
stantlal financial guarantee to provide
the Bachelors' ball menu.
The supper was prepared on the upper
floor of the theatre and was served from
an elaborately arranged table In the
room over the lobby and In the balcony
from 11 o'clock until the ball was ended,
Bronze candelabra and candlesticks.
shaded, bronze standards and a fine
display of silver banquet service and
cblnaware, Intermingled with Jack roses
and carnations, were arranged with
delicate taste upon the long table over
the lobby. The supper was served run.

Scranton's streets were scenes of gay-
ety and good feeling at midnight and
every Individual out was possessed of a
tin horn or some Instrument equally
calculated to fill the atr with sound.
All seemed to be waiting for the last
hour of the. old year to fade away and
when the last second had passed and
the season for 1894 lapsed Injjj history,
the new year was greeted with a recep
tion that must have gladdened the heart
of old Father Time.
A hundred flteam whistles sounded
the death knell of the old year and the
hills resounded with the differently
toned keynotes of escaping steam. Bells
rang out upon the frosty air and few
regrets W"ere passed upon the corpse of
1SM4; It was a year that swept the coun
try with more failures and panics than
any other since the early days of the
country.
The Tribune this morning Is pleased
to extend wishes of Happy New Year to

Watchnlght in the Churches.
At the Elm Park church the spacious
lecture room was crowded from 9.30 p
m. until midnight. The several ad
dresses Included one by "Father" Jones
the oldest member of the church, and
Messrs. Davy, Carr and Bradbury. At
11.30 the meeting was converted Into a
consecration service under the auspices
of the Epworth league.
wniiam uonnen, in the course or a
brief address, remarked that the watch
night was an old institution and one
which he remembered with the tender-
est feelings. The testimony meeting
which was Included was also a meeting
of great power, and after the pleasure
of listening to the addresses given that
evening he was more than ever con
vinced that the testimony meeting was
or special value to the vouncer mem
