THE LIVELY BKOWXIES.
They Delight a I.iirtfc and Distinguished
Scranton Audience.
The Frothlngham theatre Inst night
contained a truely distinguished au
dience upon the occasion of the Initial
production, in narthcustorn. Pennsyl
vania, of the gorgeous flpectacle which
has been built up around the quulnt
character, droll costumes and comical
antics of Pulmer Cox's world-famous
"Brownies." This audience was alter
nately convulsed and fascinated con
vulsed at the abundance of wholesome
foolery which hns been Introduced In
the spectacle's text, and fascinated by
tho tun ful "res, the splendid scenic
and cotuume Touts and, afc'jve all by
the superb manipulation of stage mech
anisms whereby the beautiful trans
formations and exquisite tableaux are
achieved.
The play's (argument la thus pre
sented on the programme, but the rend
ing of It will convey un exceedingly
fulnt Idea of the wonderful combina
tions of sound and color which make the
performance a regular feast uf pleasant
surprises:
Tltanla, queen of tho fairies, Is betrothed
to Prince Kloilm-I, adopted son of Stiui
Islaus, king of the Rrownle band. The wed
ding Is to be ctlcbn ted on the eve of May,
and tho Brownies eyve oorac to fairyland
to take part In t!. general jollification.
Drugonfel, a wicked Demon, and his ret
inue, come to the Wedding, heullng gift
und disguised as friends and well wish
ers. While the Brownies and Fays are en
tertaining the prince uud queen with song
uml deuce, an ulurm comes from within
the pulaeu that Tltanla und her ladles In
waiting hnvo been selxed and carried away
by Drugonfel, who thus seeks to prevent
the power of the pood which would result
In uu ulllunce of Brownies anil Kays. Ho
takes the queen across tho r.ea. to Ills en
chanted Island castle. The Brownies build
a raft and follow. A torrlilc storm Im
perils their safoty. Euphrosyne, goddess
uf mirth, appearsdn unhwer to their pray
ers, with .Neptune and his sea cliuriot.
The God of the Sea quiets the turbulent
waters, and the Brownies proceed In
safety. By meuns of raft and air ship
they reach the enchanted Uilaud, and find
much to mystify them. The Brownies hldo
In the outer halls of the castle, while their
king and some of his followers, disguised
as a Uermun street baud, gain entrance
to Drugonfel's mighty presence. At u fa
vorable moment they make an attark 011
Dragonfcl, and urciflust about to con
quer when he calls in Vulcan to bring
earthquako and ruin. The castle falls In
ruins, the mountain becomes a volcano,
and lava is seen pouring down its side
to overwhelm and destroy tho Brownies.
The Brownie fire department comes to the
rescue. Daylight finds the Brownies still
in quest of tho queen, and as their power
Is gone with the rising sun thoy nre easily
overcome by Dragonfel's followers, and
are made lo slave and toil in the mines.
Hero they remain until the Russian
Brownie explodes it dynamite bomb with
which the peace of the whole bund ha
been continually threatened. The explo
sion causes a caving In of u rirt In which
Drugonfel happens to be, und in the
meantime Euphrosyne has come to the
rescue of tho queen and tho Fays. Flor-
lmel and Titnula arc united, while the
mines gradually disappear tfnd a glorious
night view of Brownlelund is dlscloaud.
In the cast of thirty-one speaking
players notable work is done by Ida
Mulle, as Dame Drusllda, the spinster
fairy; by Charles II. Drew, as the
Brownie King; by Alice Johnson as
Prince Florlncl; by Charles Hasan, as
the Hrownie policeman; by Snltz F.d
wards as the leader of "dot leedle Ger
man band;" and by George H. Brod
rlek as Drugonfel. The brothers Rich
ard, as demon acrobats, gave perhaps
the finest tumbling exhibition ever seen
In the city; and there were numerous
other specialties of superior merit.
Thu musical numbers of Malcolm
Douglas are catchy and appropriate,
and the various chorus groupings ex
hibit skilful stage management. The
concluding tableuux revealed a stage
picture so exquisitely beautiful as to
baffle description and fairly enthral the
large audience in surprised delight.
The "Brownies" will frolic again to
night; and will be well worth seeing.

CSL. MTS. GOOD-BYE
Dinner to Present and ex-Officers of
the Kcjiimeut.
PRESENTED A HANDSOME GIFT
Officers Surprised tho cx-Commandcr
with a Costly Sword and Accoutre
ments I rges Them to Further
vthe New Armory Project.
Colonel V.. II. Ripple, recently ap
pointed commissary general of the Na
tional Guard of Pennsylvania, and of
the staff of Governor Hastings, made
hiiV format farewell as commander of
the Thirteenth regiment at a dinner
given by lilm luftt night In the Scranton
Bicycle club bouse on Washington uve
nue. The dinner was attended by the
present and ex-otflcers of the regiment.
Colonel Ripple's remarks and the re
grets over his resignation expressed by
many of his guests Indicated the loss
felt Individually and collectively by
the men who have served many years
under him. The commander himself,
seldom at a loss for words and expres
sion under any clrcumstunces, was
plainly too much affected to express
himself last night. His words Inade
quately conveyed Ms apparent feelings;
but hla manner, frequent falterlngs
and apologies for his Inability to speak
us lie wished, evidenced the deep feel
ing which he could not conceal.
A happy feature and one which so
overwhelmed Colonel Hippie that he
could only utter a few phruHeS of
thanks, was the presentation to him of
an elaborate sword ond- attached ac
coutrements. In its entirety the gift Is
one of the handsomest that could be
purchused and is commensurate with
the high military ofilce to which he was
recently appointed by the governor of
the state.

From 7.30 o'clock the guests arrived
In complete uniform and gathered In
the upper parlors of the building. At
8 o'clock the five tables, which were
set on the ground floor, were occupied
and nearly two hours were consumed tn
discussing the delectable menu served
by Hanley. When the French coffee
and Hcginas had been reuched Colonel
Ripple arose and spoke, In pnrt, as fol
lows: Colonel Ripple's Remarks.
"I asked you to meet here tonight for
two purposes; first, for the saddest of
purposes to give you farewell; second,
to discuss and leave with you my urg
ent solicitations for the sake of a new
armory. ,
"There is a peculiarity In my good
bye to you in that, while we shall di
verge, we shall g- onward along paral
lel lines you In the regiment and I In
a new military position. This softens,
somewhat, the many pangs of regret
on my part over the parting. It is hard
to relinquish command of a body of
men who since 1877 have made the envl
nble record which you possess. VI was
always foolishly proud of you so proud
that when superior officers spoke of
you I could not reply because ot the
pride that filled my heart.
"The Thirteenth regiment has a rec
ord. It was organized when manhood
was on trial, and out of tlmt organiza
tion has grown the best regiment In the
state and possibly the best In the union.
I can only echo tho sentiment of your
first commander, Colonel II. M. Holes,
and hope the sentiment may be ex
pressed by commanders to follow.
Colonel Boles said lie commanded a
body of gentlemen, a body he could be
proud of, and not a rabble.
"It Is possible that X may have been
severe with you at times; I may have
Impulsively said things which hurt you.
I am not Infallible and wish here to
humbly apologize with all my heart for
any extreme word or act. I have never
cherished an unkind feeling for any
person, and whatever unusual "thing I
may have done or said was only in the
heat of Irritation." ',
Ife pnld expressive tributes to the
colonelcies of H. M. Boles and F. L.
Hitchcock, and spoke of the former's
foresight In always having the regi
ment one year In advance of the state,
which, In turn, was always one or more
yenrs In advance of the National guards
of the United States. Colonel Boles, he
said, had been first to Introduce rifle
practice, first to advocate and carry
Into effect the camp Idea (1879), and
first to adopt the uniform, which was
later adopted by the state nnd then by
the guards of other states.
New Armory Project.
During Colonel Hippie's , speech he
alluded to the armory project nnd said
that out of the proposed play of "Alla
toona," which had-originally been In
tended to be given for only one night,
had grown a plan 'to present the play
six nights. From the proceeds It Is ex
pected to pay all the regimental debt,
to make a payment on the mortgage,
and with the remainder to pay for the
foundation of the new armory. The
structure, he thought, would be com
pleted before next winter. He out
lined the idea of having ench night of
the performance of "Allatoona" set
aside for certain classes of organiza
tions and individuals, such ns "Mili
tary," "Veteran's" and "Firemen's
night," etc., and urged the present and
ex-members to lend their effort toward
its Buccess.
Colonel Ripple's words were inter
rupted with frequent and loud ap
plause, and he closed his remarks with
an apology for having poorly accredited
himself.
During a period of speech making,
over which ex-Colonel Hitchcock pre.
sided. Major Mattes, In behalf of the
olllcers, presented Colonel Ripple the
handsome sword and Its equipments,
It was fitted to his Waist by . Adjutant
Millar. Evidently taken by complete
surprise and at a loss for1 words Colonel
Ripple said:
"This la such a surprlce to me that
I am unable to reply; j cannot Indicate
what Is In my heart and though?
caused by this token of your regard."
Speeches were made by ex-Colonel
Hitchcock, Lieutenant-Colonel Coursen,
cx-Colonel Watres, Chaplain 8. C. Lo.
gun, Adjutant Millar, Captain Moir and
others,

Mrs. Klcliurds Reviews the Writers of the
Victorian Ago.
Mrs. F. I. Richards delivered the
lust of the series of lectures on English
literature last evening at the residence
of Mrs. Thomas Dickson, on Wash
ington avenue. The lecturer gave a
general review of the Victorian age,
from 1837 to 1865, dwelling upon the
characteristics of the period and the
.-Ai'i.ordlnaiy mental activity dis
played, as well as the multiplication of
books, which was unprecedented.
The characteristics of the age were
afterward given in detail, and among
those enumerated were the originality,
variety nnd strength of povtlunl liter
ature; the extension and range of ro
mance; the spread of historical litera
ture; the broad extent of scientific writ
ing, which opened to the people an ac
cumulation of practical knowledge; the
Influence of German literature an Kng
llsh writers; the variety and depth of
periodical writing, which inaugurated
the dynasty of reviews; and the num
ber and prominence of women writers,
who were no longer noticed by fine
Words, due to courtesy, but received
their mead of praise by right rather
than favor. '
Tho "novels with a purpose" were
then discussed ami tin? pulm of the
nge awarded to Charles Klngsley, upon
whose works Mrs. Richards passed a
warm euloglum.

RAX IN FK0XT OP PASSING CAR
Bcforo tho Motorraan Could Stop It tho
Hoy Was Struck nnd Ground to Death
Between the Frame of tho Car
and the Pavement.
Merrltt Lawrence, 4 years of nge,
was mangled and killed by a trolley
ear at Olive street and Adams avenue
yesterday afternoon. Ho was the son
of Allan Lawrence, leader of the Lew
rence band, whose home Is at 513 Adams
avenue, one bl6ok distant from the
scene of the fatal accident.
Motorola n James Cuntwell and Con
ductor Edward Barclay were arrested
by order of tho chief of police and
taken before Alderman Fuller. As no
formal charge was made against them,
they were released on the recognizance
of Horace K. Hand, of Jessups & Hand,
attorneys for the company. ,
Young Lawrence had left his home
near Vine street nnd started for Ever
ett Hios.' grocery at tho corner of
Olive street, to buy a penny's worth of
candy. lie caught a rldo on a passing
wagon and drooped off at the corner.
The wagon was perhaps a rod In ad
vunce of the car going in the same
direction.
Tho Hoy Run Down.
As soon as the lad's feet touched the
pavement and before the horrified mo
tormarl rould discern his Intention, the
little fellow attempted to bolt across
the track In front of the car and toward
the store. He miscalculated his own
effort and the speed of the car, which
ran hlfn down and ground him beneath
the board In front of the wheels. The
car traversed possibly forty or fifty
feet before It could be stopped.
The body rested between tho wheels
and was scarcely recognizable; the
head was crushed and stripped of flesh
and scalp on the right side, the trunk
-twisted and a hand and foot nearly
severed. Someone unwisely sent for the
father, who was suffered to view the
sickening sight.
H. U. Hopewell, S. E. Solomon and
W. K. Purvis carried the mangled body
to the house, where it was laid upon a
bed to await the arrival ot the coroner
nnd his permission to an undertaker to
take charge of it.
