Mrs. M. T. Richards, who is delivering
such Interesting lectures on English lit
erature In the lecture room of the Al
bright library, Is a pleasant-raced wo
man of dignified, imposing bearing. She
has a keen appreciation of the beauties
and merits of the various forms of litera
ture and has made a close study of the
lives and works of the best authors, more
especially those who have written the
English language.
Internal Revenue Collector Herring wus
to have visited the city yesterday, but
found himself unable to leave his home In
bloomsburg on account of an attack of
the grip. Had he been in the city he
would have received calls from muny of
the local Democratic statesmen. There
Is an earnest desire among the local lead
ers to know what course he proposes to
pursue In relation to the unpleasantness
between Colonel Fitzslmmons and Deputy
Collector Craig.
. "I will give the people of this city a play
that will surprise them on Monday whn
the 'City Government' Is placed on the
Academy of Music stage," said M. J. Oil
bride yesterday. "1 know that people are
skeptical and will not believe there Is
merit In the work of a home playwrite
until It la demonstrated, but I feel that 1
ean convince them. My play has been re
viewed by competent dramatic critics and
they assure me that It has the elements
qf success. Acting on their advice I
concluded to stage It. It will cost me
over Vi,m .to raise the curtain for the
first performance of the 'City Govern
ment' and had I not confidence In its
power as an attraction I would certainly
not have put that amount of money Into
It."
county Detective Thomas I.eyshon Is
proving himself a most energetic and
faithful official and Is making It very In
teresting for those who are violating tho
law with Impunity by selling liquor with
out a. license. Hy vigorously continuing
the work he has begun Mr. Ieyshon will
rid the county of many of the "holes-ln-the-wall."
The proprietors of these es
tablishments have no desire to spend three
months In the county jail and If they aro
convinced that there Is a determined,
systematic attack all along the line
: against such violation of the low, a
large percentage of theWiOunllcenacd liquor
dealers of the county will soon go out of
business and adopt some more honoruble
means of gaining a livelihood, thereby be
Coming a benellt rather than a curse to
the community In which they reside.

An i nrulr Heport.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: .Inasmuch as the article In yester
day's Issue of The Tribune referring to
the work of Evangelist Schlverea InHome
ateod was evidently written under a mis
apprehension of the facts in the case,
permit me a w d of explanation. It
. was stated that as the collections were
large Mr. Schlverea must have taken a
large sum of money from Homestead In
return fop his services.
Mr. Schlverea'i work In Pennsylvania Is
done under direction of the Evangelist
association of the state, who tire respon
sible for all the arrangements for meet-
Ings, etc., who receive and account for all
moneys raised by collection or mihscrlp
' tlon and who pay a! stated sum to Mr.
Bchlverea and the other evangelists con
' stuntly at work under their direction.
The association referred to Is an orgnnl
. latlon of prominent Christian business
men representing every section of. the
state. And the treasurer and secretary of
the committee Is Charles L. Huston, pro
, prletor of the Luken's Steel works, of
Coatesvllle, Pa.
Trusting that this will remove any false
Impression concerning the work of a man
Who has done much for the spiritual lm
provement of men In this city and vlcln
tty, I am yours very truly,

IX LOCAL TriIEATKBS.
Deiiman Thompson's beautiful play,
"The Two Sisters,' 'which will be pre
sented ut the Acudcmy of Music this
evening is us much superior to
his other great success, "The Oil
Homesteud," as wus Hooth to a cheap
theater tragedian. There is no reuson
in the world why "The Two Sisters"
should nut more than duplicate tho phe
nomenal run of "The Old Homestead."
"The Two Sisters" is a play . which
elevates the stage und the uuditor. It
does not pall upon one, but can be soen
with Just us much pleasure a second or

enjoys seeing a thoroughly artistic
performance, one which carries with It
a moral of great weight, will miss see

Hugh Farrell will appear at the
Fruthlngham this evening in a new
Irish comedy-drama entitled "Garry
Owen." The play is full of Irish senti
ment; clean, wholesome comedy and
charming musical selections. The
scenes are laid In County Ualway, Ire
land, and are as picturesque as- they
are beautiful. The chapel scene is
something to remember. The prison
scene and the escape of dairy Owen Is
unlike any other prison scene we have
ever seen, Inasmuch as the prisoner. In
order to escape, makes a harlequin leap
through a window about seven feet
high, catching a rope on the other side
as he goes through. When next you
see him he Is coming down the rope to
the roof of a ruined abbey, und thus
effects his escape, making one of the
most heroic and daring escapes ever
witnessed. This Is one of the many
exciting scenes in "Garry Owen."

SEVEN YEARSFOR MURDER
Sentence Imposed Upon John Sylvcs-,
. ter Hostoskv.
WEAPON WAS A BILLIARD CLE
Judge Albright, of Allentown, Inflicted
the Penalty and Was Merciful Picas
for Clemency Made hy Attorney's
Stanton and O'Brien.
Judge Edwin Albright, of Allentown,
sentenced John Sylvester Rostosky yes
terday at noon to a term of seven yeurs'
penal servitude In the Eastern peniten
tiary at Philadelphia for the murder of
Joseph Clute, ut the Ridge, In Archibald,
on Sunday morning, Sept. 17, of last
year. Rostosky was recently tried at
a special term of oyer and terminer
court and the commonwealth, repre
sented by District Attorney John R.
Jones and Attorney John M. Corbett,
contended strongly for a verdict of
murder in the first degree. On the
other hand ex-Judge W. II. Stanton, as
sisted by Attorney Joseph O'Brien, con
ducted a strong defense.
The crime for which the defendant
was called to answer for his life was
surrounded with circumstances thut
tended to extenuate it und remove from
it the elements of tlrst degree murder.
The attorneys for the defense main
tained vigorously that the act was Jus
tifiable and done In defense of the
man's home and life.
Rostosky's brother, Andrew, kept an
unlicensed saloon and a boarding house
at the Ridge. The defendunt boarded
with him. The Saturday night before
the murder a number of Polunders
came to Rostosky's house und begun to
gamble and drink whiskey. They
played cards all night and on Sunday
morning a quarrel arose among them.
Andrew Rostosky ordered them out of
the house, but before they could be got
out they smashed all the furniture and
furnishings.
Attacked the lluilding.
There were about seven of them and
the defendant came to his brother's aid
and assisted in ousting them. When
they got outside they began with might
and main to fusllade the building with
brickbats and cobblestones and did not
desist until every window and door In
the place were broken to pieces.
Joseph Clute. the murdered man.
harangued the crowd and urged them
to pounce down upon the Rostoskys
and annihilate them. He led the at
tack and wus met at the door by Syl
vester, the defendant, with a piece of
a base ball bat in his hands. Clute
was dealt a blow on the head crushing
the skull and death resulted in a few
hours. Joseph Bldochlus, another one
of the attackers, received a dose of
buckshot in the legs, but he recovered.
The trial of the case occupied seven
days, and the Jury, after being out less
I than twenty-four hours returned with a
verdict of murder In the Becond degree
and recommended the defendunt to the
mercy of the court. The attorneys for
the defendant had Intended to apply
for a new trial, but the fairness and
perspicacity of the rulings and charge
of Judge Albright precluded the possi
bility of discovering any substantial
reason for a new trial. Rostosky was
brought down from the county Jail yes
terday morning by Warden Jay and a
little before noon District Attorney
Jones moved the court to impose sen
tence. Picas for Mercy Made.
Ex-Judge Stanton addressed the
court and asked the Judge to be merci
ful in im)OSing sentence. The strong
points In the evidence that favored the
defendant were reviewed by Mr. Stan
ton. Attorney O'Brien followed with
an eloquent plea for clemency. Dis
trict Attorney Jones said briefly that
Hostosky ought to be thankful that he
was not present to receive a death sen
tence. Mr. Jones reminded the court
that three of the Jurymen voted to Und
him guilty of llrst degree.
Judge Albright did not make any ex
tended remarks. The prisoner was
asked to say why the sentence of the
law should not be pronounced and mak
ing no reply the court committed him
to prison for seven years. Rostosky
quailed when he heard the number of
years and almost swooned.
For good behavior his sentence will
be rebated one month in each year,
making six years and five months he
will have to serve. He Is 23 years of
age, of good looks, and strongly built.
He Is above medium height and has an
'intelligent appearance.
