LOUIS JAMES' OTHELLO.
It Differs from That of Some of Ills
y Predecessors in the Kolo.
The "Othello" that Louis James pre
sented at the Academy of Music last
Went Is evidently the result of careful,
thoughtful study of Shakespeare's lines
Interpreted 1n the light of .modern
tage Ideas. It lacks the barbaric qual
ities and Intensity of the elder Salvinl
nd of JaoCuHougii In tho costuming of
Othello and the manner In which he
delivers his lines. l.VIr. James gives to
the 'Moorish warrior more tenderness
and less passion than did many of his
great predecessors who depicted the
Moor as a person euliordlnating every
other feeling to those of Jealousy and
revenge. Mr. Jamea has tamed the
wild exuberance of passion which stage
traditions would have us believe were
the predominating characteristic of
Othello and gives a character which
preserves the strong, Tesolute purpose
of tte man. but blends with It a ten
derness, depth of feelbis; ami "heroism
In suffering that were not so pro
nounced In the (Moor of other -days.
This version of Othello may not be
the correct on and some of the older
play-goers are sure It Is not. but that
1t Is the one which appeals most strong
ly to reason seems certain. It Is the
manner of man James fihowe. us thn
gentle Desdemonda -would he attracted
to rather than to the fiercer Individual
iVhown by .MoCullough. In the scene)
where the Moor relates the manner in
. nvtalch tie wooed Iesdemorra and in
those where the Jealousy Iago has In-
tmea into ma Deing taxes overpower
ing possession of him, 'Mr. James
proved his right to be numbered among
the country' greatest traffic actors.
He received excellent support from
Guy iLlndsley, whose Tngo was a fin
ished bit of acting. Miss 'Alma Kruger

MOST PECULIAR CASE.
Defendant Says Ho Is the Victim of a
Foul Comprise?.
A hearing In the case against Dennis
'Hartnett, who was arrested on a seri
ous charge preferred by Miss Bridget
Moran, of Pine Brook; took place before
Alderman Millar last night. The de-
tendant stoutly maintains that It Is a
conspiracy to Injure him. and the testi
mony of the witnesses last night proves
that there Is something decidedly rot
ten about the case somewhere.

FOR THE WOOH-WORKERS.
Department of Architecture and Archi
tectural Drawing Ut Y. M. A.
One of the departments of the John
Raymond Institute evening school, at
the Young Men's t'hristlan association,
promises to be of great value to many
carpenters and woodworkers In this
city. We refer to the department of
architecture and architectural draw
ing. This course has been arranged
with siM'clnl reference to the needs of
manual workers in wood, and hence
particular effort has been made to get a
course that shall be In every sense sim
ple and practical.
It will Include the simpler forms of
architectural drawing, plan studies.
In which the workmen will be taught
how to interpret architects' working
drawings: the strength and use of ma
terials, the study of the live orders of
architecture and the history of archi
tecture. By tills course It is hoped to
bring many men out of the rut of mere
machine work and to make them In
telligent brain-workers, as well as
skillful manual workers.
'Supplementing this class In architec
ture, there will be a woodworking class
of special value to younger carpenters,
apprentices and .boys, In which instruc
tion will be given in the care and use
of tools and all the simpler forms of
Joinery. Here, as In the architectural
class, the Idea is not to teach the car
penter trade, but to illustrate and ap
ply the fundamental principles of car
pentry In such a way thut men who ore
working at the trade may become more
skillful in It, and that boys may be
taught how to put their ideas into ac
tual execution In material form.
IN FIRST PLACE, AS USUAL.
Globe Worchouso Fall .Millinery Opening
Today and Tomorrow.
Among the many millinery openings
which take place this week, none will
draw larger crowds of critical viewers
than that at the ulobe Warehouse.
Year by year these semi-annual dis
plays are becoming more elaborate,
and for weeks before the dates fixed
fertile brains and trained hands are
busy making elaborate preparations
for the event of the season.
The leading millinery artists of Paris,
London and New York ure liberally
drawn on for new creations, and ex
elusive novelties, while in the work
rooms of the establishment preparlntr
for the show, new Ideas are developed,
faithful copies of leading styles are
produced, and modifications made on
patterns that are a little wild, and not
exactly suited to the requirements of
the trade catered for.
The women who look over the exhihl
tlon on show days hnrdly realize all tho
worry and thought that the display has
cost: If they did they would often be
a little more guarded In their remarks.
Yesterday we were favored with a
private view of some of the novelties
to be placed before the public In the
millinery show room of the Globe
Warehouse today and tomorrow, and
we are safe In saying that the display
will be one of the handsomest this
pushing firm has ever made.
The novelties are endless, the color
grouping superb, while the variety of
shapes and materials Is simply bewild
ering. In closing we would merely add
that visitors to the Olobe Warehouse
for the next two days have a rare treat
In store for them.
MRS. MORSS INJURED.

HONORING THE VOYAGERS

H. M. Edwards.
MAXY KELL-KXOKX SPEAKERS
F.xprcsscd Their Delight at the Safe
Return of the Jadge sad Ilia Wife
from Their Visit Abroad-Muaie
nd Eloquence Olcndcd.
It Is Indeed doubtful that Judge H.
M. Edwards' reception at Cardiff
equalled the one of last evening, when
St. .David's hall, on the West Side, was
crowded to the 'doors by the admirers
of the honored Judge. The hall had
been decorated for the occasion, and
this was the first event in the build
ing since the remodeling of the place.
The platform held potted plants In pro
slon und American flags beamed from
different places.
On the plutform were seated Judge
Kdwards, Judge K. N. Willard. Judge
V. W. Gunster, Attorney W. Uoylord
Thomas and the chairman of the even
ing, H. Hughes. In the audience-were
a number of prominent men from dif
ferent parts of the city and out of town.
JUDGE II. M. EDWARDS.
In this respect no similar gathering on
the West Side has been so successful.
Among those present were: William
Connell. Colonel H. M. Boles. ex-Mayor
'K. H. Ripple, d'rothonotary Clarence K.
'Pryor. (District Attorney John it. Jones,
Captain James Molr, City Treasurer
Reese G. Brooks, Attorney D. J. Davis,
(Hon. T. V. Powderly. T. H. Dale, Da

Rev. Hugh Davis, Rev. II. .H. Harris,
Rev. 'D. Jones. Daniel Evans. W. W.
Davis, T. H. Jones, John Courier Mor
ris and others.
Chairman Hughes, In opening the
meeting, made a brief though well
worded speech. He announced that W.
Guy lord Thomas would give an ad
dress of welcome to Judge and Mrs.
Kdwards. Mr. Thomas fully bespoke
the sincere sentiment of the audience
In his speech. He endeavored to Im
press Judge and Mrs. Kdwards with
the heartiness In which their return
was received. ,
John T. Williams' Address.
Following Mr. Thomas a quartette
consisting of John T. Watklns, Tom
lkynon. Mrs. -Lizzie Hughes-Brundage
and iMlss Margaret Jones sang nnd
were encored with loud opplause. The
music was sweet, nnd given with an
artistic touch. In the "address by dis
tinguished citizens," Hon. John T. W 111
lams led with one of his short and Im
pressive speeches for which he is well
known. In closing Mr. Williams said:
"I do not know what endears us to
Judge Kdwards, whether It be his abil
ity, his good nature, or whatever else,
and there is much, that Is good in the
man. But we are pleased to greet him
6 q"h"' popularity with which District
Attorney Jones Is held was evidenced
by the applause which was engendered
by the mention of his name as the next
speaker. Mr. Jones could not begin his
speech for awhile, owing to the demon
stration. He said in brief "Nearly a
year has elapsed since i siooa on wis
platform. But the demonstration then
was of a -different nnture to that which
brings us together now. Then It was
that the people gathered to discuss the
Issues of the political world; now we
gather to honor our honored friend,
Judge IBdwards, and his estimable wife.
No other man do I know who has vis
ited a foreign country that has taken
along wMJh htm such general good will
of his feHow-nlMzens. die stands In
close relationship with us: the public
pulse and the public heart ieat 1n uni
son with his. -Kverytbody seems con
cerned In his welfare, and all, from the
'bench, the bar. physicians, preachers,
miners and mill hands, all Join in a
hearty 'bon voyage.'
"We are pleased to know thnt he
met w'lfh n cordial reception In Wales;
Ihla fame had gone before him and he
was as well known In Wales as he is
in Larkawnnna county. He has
brouE'ht honor upon this section, wher
ever he has been. Not paltry or proud,
yet wltih tihe d'ignlty of bis office of
trust he "has risen above us. yet he
rmlles upon us as from a height, ere he
reach 9 down and gives -the welcome
Aland." Mr. Jones. In an eloquent
climax, extolled Wales, sweet Wales,
nnd referred. In a rompllmpntary
Ktraln. to Judge Willard, who was fre
quently mentioned In an eulogetlo way
throughout the evening.
Hon. T. V. Powderly made a very
witty address and kept the audience
In continual good 'humor while he wns
bnfore them. iHe was received with
rherrs. one of ihis 'hanny remnrks wns
that every greeting which Wales gave
to Judge Kdwards wns felt -by his
friends nt home, "and we sent over,
not a Wf-lshmnn, but an American."
William Cnnncll's Ifcccptinn.'
'William Connell received a warm
hearted greeetlng when he stepped on
the pint form to express his esteem for
Judge Kdwards. l.Mr. Council prided
hlmz-.-lf upon -having wntced the gnl
'lunt "Luania" as It entered i'lie Amer
ican port and he was among Uhe first to
gleet Judge Kdwards and party. "No
one watched that ship wll'h more Im
patience than I did (applause), but, to
be hones-!. It was not altogether tiho
pr.wnce of Judge Kdwards which rrp
oted thl.4. 1iut my good wife and other
dear ones were nboat-J that ship. I nm
glad to be here and wcl-come Judge Kd
wards. We cannot Mame him for the
love -he bears ifor'hls -dhildhood's home.
It makes him none the lees an Ameri
can. I admire the man who clings to
his birthplace. Tho memory of child
hood's happy days makes us better men
ond belter women. My wife Is an ad
mirer of Wales, but the dearest mo
ment of the voyage was wfaen the
American flag -was seen from ship
deck." LMr. Connell closed with re
newed greeting to Judge and Mrs. Kd
wards. T. .H. Dale followed with A thoughtful
speeoh. He welromed the honored
guesta and said tihat no one rend the
accounts of Judge Kdwards' reception
at Ulanelly with more Interest than ho
and he raw In all of the proceedings
the American tact and shrewdness of
Judge Kdwards, showing that he tiad
learned something In this country. In
closing, IMr. Dale expressed tils ad
miration for Khe progress -made in this
century In ocean navigation.
Judge Gunster apoke feelingly of his
"honored public cltlsen nnd personal
friend." He and Judge Edwards had
studied at the same law office and at
that time little did they think that In
the future Miey would be side by side
on the same Judicial seat. The speech
was a beautiful effort and uttered with
depth of genuine feeling.
Morgan B. Williams, of Wllkes-Barre,
who was In Wales at the same time as
Judge Kdwards, spoke In a humorous
and afterwards In a logical way vf the
trip across the deep and the lesson to
be learned from Judge Edwards' ca
reer. Remarks hy Judge F.dwards. ,
Judge Willard. who spoke next, said
he had not come to flatter Judge Ed
wards, but for himself and all these
people who loved htm he extended a
hearty welcome. Judge Willard told of
the change that a little over a quarter
of a century had brought about. He
said "Judge Kdwards came to this
country in '64, after Gettysburg had
been won and Grant, with his legions,
was hammering at the backbone of the
rebellion. The old emblem had already
been restored In many places and peace
was about to reign ugain. Since thut
time no man has don? more Tor the in.
stitutions which were snved by that
rebellion than Judge H. M. Kdwards.
(Applause.) He Is always on the right
side, In governmental questions and
more direct Influences to the people of
this vicinity. When I first heard his
voice ring In court I recognized at onie
the true metal."
Judge Kdwards responded briefly,
but with effect. He thanked the audi
ence and his distinguished friends for
their reception of him.
T. Reeve Jones, the distinguished
artist who Is winning fame ns a com
ing piano pluyer, played "Home, Sweet
Home," with beautiful variations. The
audience wns spellbound under his
magnificent execution und a repetition
was demanded. Mr. Jones then played
"The Land of My Fathers," the Welsh
national hymn, with original varia
tions. Accompanied by Miss .Harriet Ward
Mrs. Brundage sang. Llew Herbert
also sang the ".Mariner," accompanied
by iLlcwellyn Jones. The quartette
closed with "Waiting." The event was
the finest ever held on the West Side.
Was well known here.
Death of Chnrlct II. Thompson at Ills
Home In Hinghumton.
Charles H. Thompson, of Bingham
ton, well known In this city, died sud
denly Monday morning ut his home in
the Parlor City. Mr. Thompson's
death was discovered by his wife when
she went to his room to call hill ut
about 7 o'clock Monday morning; the
body being cold. -Dr. Proctor wus called
and he summoned Coroner Hills.
Up to a week ago iMr. Thompson ap
parently enjoyed the -best of health.
Last week he wus in 'New York city
buying goods, und when he returned
home lute Saturday night he cum
plained that while In 'New York he hud
been troubled with pains In the region
of the heart and lungs und of shortness
of breath after slight physicul exer
tion. Mr. Thompson was one of the most
active members of the Commercial
Travelers' association and to his efforts
Is due thut several out of town branches
were organized. He was a charter
member of the association, and had
taken active part In Its affairs from the
first, lie held several offices In the
Blnghamton branch, and at the time of
his death was a member of the examin
ing finance committee.
Mr. Thompson was born near Mon
treal, Can., nearly forty-five years ago.
He moved to Blhghamton about twenty-five
years ago and has been a resi
dent ever since. He had been a com
mercial traveler for over twenty-five
years. A wife and three sons, Clar
ence L., Walter and Ray survive.
DORRE AS CARMEN.
Tho Little Menu Delights a Select
Frothtngham Audience.
The Tavary Grand Opera company
would have nhovn better business
sauclty had It presented "Carmen"
Instead of "Faust" us the opening at
traction In Scranton. Difference of
opinion may stamp the latter ns supe
rior to the former, but "Faust" Is in
ferior to "Carmen" as Interpreted by
the Tavary compuny In the Frothlng
ham last night.
Thea -Dorre as "Carmen," with her
rich, flexible and sympathetic mezzo,
and by her charmlng-ly natural acting
overshadowed Tavary us "Michaela,"
which was fortunately a secondary
part. Sophia Romanl pleased everyone
as the chic Frasqulta, and special men
tion Is also due the "Don Jose" of F.
Mlchellna.
Quality and quantity wore well rep
resented In the auditory. In fact it is
doubtful If' many more select theatric
audiences will be seen In Scranton dur
ing the season. Last night's audience
was appreciative, more so than at
Monday night's or yesterday matlnee's
performance, and the orchestral sup
port came In for no less a share of
commendation than did the singers.
DOIIERTY HAD AN AX.
It Was Well for tils Wife That She Kept
Out of the Way.
Mrs. iPatrlck Doherty, of Prospect
avenue. South Side, swore out a war
rant yesterday in Alderman Miliar s oi
flce for the arrest of her husband on
the charge of threatening to kill her.
The belligerent Doherty had been
drinking deeply of the stuff that kills
and felt It Incumbent upon himself to
annihilate his wife when she upbraided
him for coming home drunk, disgracing
himself.
He went to the woodshed and got nn
axe with which to answer her argu
ments on the temperance question.
but she left the llooor to himself nnd
went out. He swore he'd kill her If
she remained. The warrant wns served
on him and he was required to furnish
$300 ball to keep the peace.

LIVELY DEBATE OVER MATTER
Somo Ohjcollon to tho Form of the Fx

of John Collin
Ixl J liif.irc the Ilody.
The annual sessions of the Lack
wanna Presbytery are being 'held nt
Mortroie, and thure Is a lanre attend
ance of churchmen of that denomina
tion. Yo;erduy ufternooon the case of
John Collin was brought to tho atten
tion of the Presbytery. Collin Is anx
ious to tit himself for the ministry.
nd. after some l!hX-usHlon, It was de
cided to assist the young man finan
cially und otherwise.
After the case of Collin was satlnfac-
torlally settled. Dr. Robinson, of Scrati
ton, told of u young African who had
come to be examined before the Pres
bytery us to 'his ability to become a I
missionary to hla native country, the j
Congo region. Ills name Is Joseph
Fllz. The divine said that Kltx was
not a clnsslc.il scholar, nor n scientist,
neither was he famullar with church
history nnd that he would ask that he
be examined Upon his knowledge of the
bible.
He had been studying In Chlcugo for
three years in Moody's school. Fllz
wns Introduced by Dr. Logan, of Scran
ton, and RobliiFon. and his examina
tion begun. Rev. Dr. S. C. Logan ques
tioning him upon his personal experi
ence, nnd Rev. lr. James McLeod, of
Seruntun, upon Ills knowledge of the
bible. His answers were wonderfully
Intelligent.
anJIJnlo Fit Fxninlticd.
Finally, when Dr. Logan began to
examine Fltz upon his knowledge of
theology many present objected, and
quite nn animated discussion occurred,
and a fire of words between some of the
speakers disconcerted the young man
so that a thoughtful brother led him
from the room. There were many mo
tions and amendments until ut last
Dr. Logan wus ullowed to proceed In
the theology examination. When a
few questions had been asked the meet
ing came to a close.
The young lAfrlcan had, to the sat
isfaction of everybody present, given
complete evidence of his capacity to
preu-ch the gospel to his lar away
friends In the Dark Continent,
The evening exercises of the Presby
tery were exceedingly Interesting. Dr.
Robinson, of Scrunton, conducting tho
meeting, 'After reading from Matthew,
fourth chapter, beginning at trie
twelfth verse, Dr. McLeod offered a
beautiful prayer. The singing of a
'hymn followed, after which Rev. Mr.
Lee, of Curbondule, preached an In
structive and comprehensive sermon
upon the proper reading of the scrip
tures. The subject wns well treated
and very Instructive. Dr. McLeod then
gave a pleasing talk upon roreign una
domestic missions, convincing his hear
ers that the work lay at their very
doors, and A. W. Dickson, of the First
Presbyterian church, spoke upon the
same subject In his usually bright and
earnest manner. His heart seemed
overflowing with the work, and all list
ened attentively. The exercises closed
with singing by choir nnd the benedic
tion by Rev. Mr. McLeod.

"The superstition which causes poo
pie to regard opals with awe as the
cause of 111 luck nnd even death," said
a Jeweler yesterday, "Is due to n pe
culiar observation made many years
ago. Opals were considerably In use
In Venice during the plague, and It was
noticed there In the hospitals that be
fore death the stone would sometimes
brighten upon the victim's linger. It
never seemed to occur to the people
that the Illness could produce a glow of
color. They took It for granted that
the stone occasioned .the Illness. As a
matter of fact opals are affected by
heat, even by that of the hand, and
the fever, being at Its height Just be
fore death, caused the colors to shine
with unwonted clearness. This con
firmed the superstition, and to this day
there are sane and able-bodied people
who believe thnt a chip of stone in
the house can cause calamities.
"Probaibly nnother reason for the dis
trust excited In opals Is the fact that
they change and lose their color. That
Is due to the softness and porousness
of the 'material, and Its capacity both
for absorbing water nnd of parting
with what is has, one of which tends
to make It dull nnd the other chalky
and opaque. They have been known
to be carefully cut and laid away, nnd
upon opening the paper had crumbled
Into dust within a few weeks. A species
of onnl known as the hydrophane,
found In small quantities lately In Col
orado, has wonderful powers of ab
sorption. In Its usual state It Is of
a yellowish, waxy tint, but when water
Is dropped upon It the tint passes slow
ly away, and from being translucent It
becomes transparent. On exposure to
the nlr the water evaporates In nn
hour, leaving the stone ns It was be
fore." Jl'VFNlI.F. MODI-STY.

It happened at Harbor Springs a few
days ago. A young man from Chicago

The following story of a scorpion get
ting ' Ti 1 1) a boot Is told at the expense of
nn filllcer who wns stationed with h's regi
ment nt Allehabail. He was putting on
his boots ono morning, and was Just nbout
to stamp the heel down, when he felt u
sharp prick. Several scorpions had been
seen About tho tinrrneKs for the past few
weeks, so that he naturally concludeil
thut It was one of these pests that had
stung him.
"Well, tho harm's done now." he mut
tered, with n mental benediction upon the
hend of his Bervunt for being so careless;
"but, nnyhow, 1 may ns well kill the
brute. It'll get away If 1 tuke tho boot
off."
Accordingly, he began stamping vio
lently upon the floor, with a view to
crushing life out of the scorpion. Every
time he itnmped It gave him the great
est agony, but he stuck bravely to It, un
til at last he thought that the objection
able tenant must be dead.
When he took off the boot, however, he
felt relieved and vexed, but was glad that
he had not summoned assistance. It was
years before he could tell thn real story of
his scorpion, for during half an hour bad
he been stamping upon and trying to kill
a' blacking brush which his servant had
accidentally left In the bottom of hi boot

to be found elsewhere. So
long we have been as origina

produce new designs to set
the current of style. We have
a larger and more extensive
