RHEA AS NELL G WYNNE.
An Excellent Performaneo Given at the
Frothtnghara Last Night.
Those who have associated Rhea
wholv with the role of the Empress
Josephine in the drama of that name
were most pieasanuy uiincu n
niRht at the Frothingham by her versa
tility Nell Owynne. The drama,
which takes for Its title the name of one
of the favorites or Charles 11 or En
iHnml. lieloncs to the romantic school
and was written by a young man, Paul
Kester by name, who has been a close
student of English history. The dia
logue ia bright and crisp, and the situ
ations and climaxes arranged and led
up to with much skill.
A Nell Owvnne. the lowly orange
seller, who becamt"' tho foremost of
EiiKllsh actresses or her time anu ine
first favorite of Charles II, Rhea was
admirable. Tho role is one which re
quires great versatility to properly In
terpret. It Is full of light and shade.
One moment It Is comedy, the next
tragedy, but through all of the various
phases of the character,' Rhea was
equal to every requirement. She pos
sesses a wonderful expressive race ana
can tell a story by the changing ex
pressions of her countenance as well as
with her tongue.
I lor support last was good and the
performance throughout was excellent.
Great care was taken In the prepara
tion of the costumes, which are similar
In every respect to those- worn during
the reign of Charles II. "Nell Gwynne"
was given its first production less than
a month ago and has been received
with much favor wherever seen. It
deals with a most Interesting period of
English history, that which furnishes
abundant material from which to con
struct a play of strong dramatic In
terest. Lyon Adams was much admired
as Charles II, and Carlton Wells,
though somewhat indisposed, realized
11 the had qualities for which the craft
Lord Jeffreys, chief justice of Eng'
land, was noted. .This afternoon Rhea
and company will repeat "Nell
Gwynne" at the Frothlnc-ham nnd to
night she will be seen fn her famous
role, the Empress Josephine.
Rhea Is quite infatuated with "Nell
Gwynne" and chatted pleasantly about
It to a Tribune reporter last night after
the performance. It Is a character that
quite charms her and she Is enthusias
tic over the favor It has been received
Witn wherever seen. Tho aoDlause and
curtain calls she received last night she
took as an assurance that the people
of Scranton were pleased with Mr.
ICester's play and endorsed her acting

D; 03E OESSaS
Board of Appeals Hast Dismoaat
Prom Their Altltadlaoaa Steel
ASSESSORS WILL SIMPLY WAIT
I'nlcsa the Assessors Are Allowed the
Ise of the 1803 Books They 1)1 Not
Make the Assessment, Bceaase These
Books Are Indiscernible.
There Is lust a bare possibility that
the trouble between the assessors and
the board of appeals may result In the
year passing by without an assessment
being made.
The city assessors aver that they can
not complete the assessment to the
satisfaction of themselves, and the city
wihout having the use of the 1895 books
for making comparisons; the board of
appeals will not allow them to use
these books unless they move their of
fice to the quarters of the board .of ap
peals; and as by doing this the asses
sors would be virtually conceding the
disputed point, whether or not they
need office quarters It Is not at all
likely that they will gain access to the
books under those condltons.
Assessor H. D. Jones says that they
wont. He was seated In his office yes
terday, with his elbows resting on the
arms of his easy chair, and his hands
clasped before him, looking away Into
the far beyond as If absorbed In deep
meditation when a Tribune reporter
came upon him with the customary
Bally: "Anything new?" i.
Cannot Make Assessment.
"Yes. there is," said Mr. Jones. "The
board of assessors will not be able to
make an assessment this year unless
there Is some change' In the existing
conditions. We are about through with
the work of noting changes and Im
provements in properties since last year
and should soon be at work oh the as
sessment, to make which It will be nec
essary for us to have the 1895 books.
We have aBked for them, but the board
of appeals will not let us have them;
not even one at a time. I can't under
stand why they refuse us these books.
When we gave them up we merely
did so to avoid any dispute. The board
of appeals agreed at that time to let
us have two books at a time when
ever we desired to consult them. They
refuse now to let us take even one book
out of their office. Do they think We are
thieves or that we will eat the books?
I am ready to give bonds for the books
while they are In our possession if that
Is what they are afraid of. No they
want to force us to come .to'.thelr
quarters and be subservient ' to them,
thoreby proving their contention that
the assessors have no need of an of
fice. Unless we make this concession
there can be no assessment made this
year, and I do not think we will make
any such concession.
Tried to Avoid Trouble
"We have done all that can be ex
pected of us by way of avoiding trouble.
We have felt right along that the board
of appeals Is an Illegally constituted
body and we were taking a big respon
sibility when we allowed ourselves to be
Induced to recognize them. The act says
distinctly that the board shall organize
on or before the first Monday in Sep
tember. This board was not elected
until a month later and therefore are
not entitled to act this .ear. We, as the
old board, working under the old act.
by virtue of the law which directs us to
fulfill oud duties until our successors
are duly qualified, concluded when the
first Monday In September passed by
without a board of appeals being or
ganised, that they could not legally or.
ganlze this year and so went in with
the assessment.
"In their own good time the members
of the board ot appeals got together and
In defiance to the law organized Ille
gally and assumed the power whtoh a
legally organized board Is entitled to.
At the advice of the city solicitor we
refrained from making an attack on the
Illegality of the board, fearing that If
the matter went Into court it might In
terfere with the assessment. which must
be completed before January 1. The
board of appeals also agreed to accept
our assessment, and as we supposed
both sides were, to shut their eyes on
technicalities and proceed harmonl
monlously In the work before us
Board Wants Too Much.
"Having made concessions to them
for the sake of peace and the city s wel
fare, they want us to make others, some
of which are forbidden by the law and
some of which our dignity and manhood
will not permit. The outshot of ' the
whole matter la that we wll sit here
until we get the books and If no assess
ment Is made we feel that we can sat
Isfy the courts and citizens that we are
not responsible tor tne aire conse-
niion.aa "
Mr. Jones also referred to the attempts
of the board of appeals to cut down the
salary of the assessors' clerk and to fix
the assessor's remuneration at so much
a day, characterizing these efforts as
childish, spite-work, unworthy or men
entrusted with the responsibility of
city government. He furthermoro
claimed that any act of the board of ap
peals wns subject to a contest In the
courts because ot the board being an
Illegally constituted body.

BOSSON WAS RILED.
His Daughter Got a Marriage License
. and Ha Saya la Not of Ags.
A blue streak hovered around the
clerk of tha court's office yesterday af
ter John Bosson, of the North End, took
his departure. Ha was in a truly fero
clous frame of mind. On the 13th Inst
Botson's daughter, Mary Amy-accom.
panled by George M. Atwater, of Green
Ridge, appeared at tne omce ana got a
marriage license. The groom gave his
age aa 21 on July 26, 1895, and Miss
Boaaon swore tnat sne arrivea at ner
majority on Oct. 21, 1895.
Her father's quest yesterday was to
annul the license. He was Informed
that his daughter swore to her age,
and accordingly the clerk was justified
In granting the license, there being no
opposition nor anything to warrant the
belief that he was adding to her years.
Bosson could not be pacified. He left
the office In high dudgeon and vowed
that he would have everybody arrested
that conspired to take his daughter
away from him without his consent.
GET BEADY FOR A FEOST.
Weather Bureau Predicts That Mercury
Will Take a llig Brop To-day.
A oold wave is coming. Before night
fall the temperature will drop away be
low the 50 mark, and during the night
the mercury will fall to freezing. So
reports the weather manufacturing de
partment of the government In Wash
ington and cold wave signals have been
ordered hoisted all along the seaboard
states from Maryland to Maine and
farther west than Ohio.
If the weather fiends in Washington
are not dreaming Scranton will be vis
ited by light rains and possibly snow
during today and before the night is
ended the butcher, the baker, the candlestick-maker
and the rest of man
kind will long for furs and hot drinks.
The weather department sometimes
tellB white lies, but it Is selAim amiss
on the cold wave, and The Tribune
readers while sipping their co"e" this
morning should be governed by the fol
lowing two dispatches sent out from
Washington at 2 and 3 o'clock re
spectively yesterday afternoon:
'"Wednesday.llght rain or snow; much
colder Wednesday afternoon.
Moore.
Moderate cold wave; temperature
will fall to freezing Wednesday night.
Hoist signal. Moore."
Messages were from the Chief.
"Moore" Is the chief of the weather
bureau and Is supposed to know what
he Is telegraphing about. He probably
had an Idea when the flrBt telegram
was sent nt 2 o'clock, but the Idea evi
dently established Itself as a fact In the
weather mixers mind wnen an nour
later he shocked everybody by using
tho words "freezing" and "hoist sig
nal." hcrantonlans who basked in yester
day's sunBhlne. threw open their coats
and preached about the delightful wea-
the" that ws t" l""t i"" n nw, --'i
tonight be found shoveling snow, cut
tliior holes In the new carpet to give
passage for heat from the fur
nace, cnopping Kinaung wuuu uuu
doing other things of the sort.
The long-haired foot ball youths
of this city and Elmlra win.
however, be In their glory for Mr. Moore
has baa his say.
The prognostication Is for the first
time made this season that snow may
be expected, but this prediction Is cou
pled with "light rain or," nnd so the
small boy may be disappointed. Then,
too, whether the second cold wave tele
gram, which says nothing about snow,
nullifies the warning of an hour earlier,
Is a matter for the dear public to de
termine.
What the Signals Do.
The ordinary Individual who Is con
tent to scintillate in the circles of his
own self will wonder why such a fuss is
made over cold wave signals and cold
waves anyhow. If he should ask the
weather department about It he would
be told that $1,000,000 worth of
fruits, vegetables and produce were
saved from ruin by cold wave signals
alone during 1895. nnd if he should In
quire further he would be told that an
Inestimable number of lives and a vast
ambunt of shipping Interests are an
nually saved by the seaconst storm
warnings sent to every United States
port. Mariners did not heed them once
on a time but they do nowadays.
It l pertinent to ask how Scranton
will be benefited by the cold wave flag
that floated over the court house after
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Scran
ton will be benefitted In many
ways. The doubting produce and
market man will make p repara
tions to hustle his truck indoors If cold
weuther really comes; the business man
who cannot return home for lunch will
growllngly consent to his wife's request
Ihnt he tnve his henty overcoat to the
office; delicate persons will change their
underwear; builders will look to their
newly-constructed masonry and mixed
mortar; the foot ball spectator will re
v-l In the anticipation of freezing to
death, and a thousand other individuals
will profit more or less by the sight of
the insignificant-looking white Hag
with a black square In the center.

Illness they were unable to attend. The
association, however, held a meeting
and In addition to transacting routine
business the project of thoroughly or

length.
Carbondale and Archbald already

each large city a local organizer is au

state are now represented In the asso

the number of superintendents In these
schools reaches fully two hundred. The

need of co-operation and unity of work
as there Is In other departments of
secular or religious work? Is there as
much need of help and a comparislon
of methods as can be obtained bv fre
quent gatherings as there Is In our
secular schools?
In many of the most progressive
cities of the country there are now

Intendcnts nnd teachers unions thst
meet monthly cr quarterly, which hae
proved very helpful to the workers and
a great stimulus to uibie study.
