AST night another
Scranton Buphelors'
ball, the eighth in as
many yearn, became
a thing: of the paxt.
It terminated at an
early hour this
morning in the
Krothlngham the
ater with an eclut
and Hpliit which
would have made
green with envy any possible lurking
ttiust of memory connected with the
pleasant, old. annual events In the Wyo
ming House. The WW ball in
the Frothingham was an agree
able disappointment "agreeable" be
cause few had Imagined It would
prove the great success it did; but the
lSSt.l bull Is more entitled to pleasant
retrospection because everybody Im
agined It would prove a success, and it
vat. No regrets follow It: certulnly the
Bachelor officers congratulated them
selves on whut they hud done, and
whatever disappointments exist today
tnust be of u trilling and Indlvlduul na
ture. So much for success.
Usually caterer, musician, decorator
and the dancing arrangements conspire
to make n large ball Hither a pleasure
or otherwise. A hitch In any of these
might set things all nskew, but they
wm all perfect last night, and In uddi
tion there was such a collection of ex
quisite gowns, beautiful women and
spirit of pleasure as to render Improb
able any eclipse of the event in a few
years to come, in purt or in whole it
was such as to make any Scrantonlan
proud of his residence; its scale from
the time the dancers entered the the
ater until their departure was one of
beauty allied with magnificence, and
that Is a great deal to say of a ball
away from the lurge cities, because
"beauty" nnd "magnificent" mean
much and are words which admit of
no trilling.
rive Hundred Were Present.
Possibly MO persons were present, and
of these fifty or more were from out
of town and the others represented a
high social standing In every section
of the city. A rule of the Bachelors
makes It Imperative that every admis
sion (ticket Issued must contain the
name of the person who uses It. thus
avoiding the annoyance which might
result from the presence of anyone ob
jectionable. As a consequence each
laWer or spectator was there with the
Immediate consent of one of the Bache
lor committee of five and with the sup
plementary approval of the well known
ladles whuso names appear In the list
of patronesses. Bo It was a gathering
representative of Scranton's most fash
ionable and most reputed personages,
and It was a gathering which few. If
ny, cities conditioned as Is Scranton
could display.

TIIE BALL IX DETAIL.
Story of How the Night Was Made
So Delightful.
It was about 8..10 o'clock when the
flint batch of guests arrived, and for
an hour and a half following the
stream was continuous and three stal
wart, policemen at times had their ef
forts taxed to the utmost to prevent a
carriage blockade on Penn avenue,
from which thoroughfare entrance was
made to the theater through a long
awning passage-way. The crush at
the door was particularly notlcable in
the neighborhood of 9 o'clock, which
hour witnessed the arrival of many a
bevy of fair debutantes and their chap
erones, all richly muffled from head to
. nu Huenuea oy nusDands or other
c.-un. tne crowaing was at times

porting pillar appeared alternate wind
ings of pine rope and a gauzy pink ma
terial. From the top of the proscenium
arch over the heads of the duncers ex
tended ropings of pine and wild smilax.
A grotto effect , was produced on the
west side of the stage, which was set
with a garden scene backing and an
exterior cottage scene on the side op
posite the grotto. The grotto repre
sented a perspective of woodland.
From the boughs hung strings of Flori
da moss over a number of tete-a-tetes
and sociables. In the nooks before the
lower boxes, where sat the patronnesses
and resting dancers, were located large
palms, arranged so as not to hide the
view from any quarter and the same
kind of plunt with lillles, yellow tulips,
red and while camellus and rare buy
trees, a species of the evergreen, all
knotted with pink satin, were scattered
here and there along the edge of the
floor. ' .
Luxuriously Furnished Lobby.
It was ho wonder that the lobby
proved so popular a place for dancers'
tete-a-tetes and for conversation by
the spectators. The decorator of Kerr,
Son & Co. had covered the mosaic floor
with thick Turkish rugs, had hung silk
damask curtains over the doorways
arches and box office and distributed
onyx tables loaded with rare brlc-a-brac
throughout the apartment. The
furniture was supplied from the theater's
newest and most urtlstlc stage set
tings and by a few pieces procured
from outside. Over the whole wus
shed mellow lights through Moorish
globes and dainty lamp shades.
From a niche built of draperies to
hide the usual entranceway, was served
throughout the night coffee frappe and
lemonade.
Hussler's excellent Philadelphia or
chestra of twelve pieces, led by Mark
Hussler himself, occupied a spuce
cleared for them by removing a part
of the rows of seats back of the orches
tra circle, and Bauer's band of twenty
four pieces was stationed back of the
three central loges In the balcony. The
orchestra played the newest and most
popular dunce music, while the bund's
spirited marches and two-steps were
rendered during the Intermissions, at
which times many could not resist the
temptation to dance.
As the guests descended from the
dressing rooms they were received ly
the patronesses who occupied a lower
box, excepting Mrs. Decker and Mrs.
Wlllard, the one being absent on ac
count of the death of a relative and the
other's presence being prevented by
Illness. The dancing programmes
were distributed by an attache as the
dancers called for them on the flooor.
It was observed that there was a gen
eral compliance with the request made
several weeks ago by the Bachelor
committee that dunces be not engaged
ahead. This request and the policy of
withholding the programmes until the
dancers reached the floor remedied
an evn which at previous balls inter
fered somewhat with the pleasure of
those events.
Super was served runnlne and be
ginning at 10.30 o'clock by Trower, of
Philadelphia, through his colored rep
resentative, Louis Jenkins. The dell
casles were prepared on the third
floor and served by waiters from the
roooms over the lobby to the dancers
seated In the' balcony. The menu was
as follows:
Chicken Salad.
Chicken Croquettes.
Olives.
Boned turkey.
Creamed oysters.
Itaspeil rolls.
Ice cream. Meringues.
Fancy cakes. Coffee.
Coffee frappe. lemonade.
The Ball Hoom Floor.
The scene made by dancers, flowers,
gowns, beautiful women and handsome
men and the spirit of intense pleasure
accentuated by dreamy waltz or spir
ited march can best be left to Imagina
tion; It is certainly difficult to describe.
The throng was too large to permit of
noticeable formality, and whether
among the dancers on he floor or
among the older and non-dancing ele
ment scattered among the seats In or
chestra circle and balcony a festive
spirit prevailed. Although the dancers
were numerous, the Jostling was not
severely annoying.
It was 2 o'clock when began any
noticeable departures, but at 3 o'clock
scores were dancing and there were no
signs of immediate abatement.

BACHELOR HISTORY.
Review of the Organisation Sinse Its
Beginning.
The elaborate Frothingham theater
affairs of the last two years are a pro
nounced contradiction of the humble
Intentions of the twenty-one Bachelors
who eight years ago met In the office
of Captain Montrose Barnard In the old
Grand Army or the Republic build
ing. Many of these young men
were then popular members of
a select social set and were
constantly being Invited to dinners,
parties and dances, but were with
out the home conveniences necessary to
return their social indebtedness. It was
for the purpose of giving occasional
dances and thus cancelling their social
obligations that the Bachelor organiza
tion was suggested.
At the meeting In Captain Barnard's
office a committee on invitations was
appointed. Several days later it sub
mitted a list or persons to be invited
to a dancing party to be given' in a
well known home on the hill. The list
contained the names or many to whom
several or the Bachelors were socially
obligated. But there came a disagree
ment when Mr. Jones declined to enter
tain Mr. Smith's friend because Mr.
Jones and the friend of Mr. Smith were
net on good terms. There were several
uoh instances which precluded the
possibility of the Intended informal
house affairs. Someone hit upon the
plan of giving annually a big ball in the
Wyoming house, suggesting that a
large ball would swallow individual
differences. This Idea was accepted
and from it grew the 18M and 18r sub
scription balls in the Frothingham.
Change of Plan Decided Upon.
It was decided that the expense be
divided equally among the members,
and in case any member married he
was to be exempt from payment. This
Idea worked very well until two years
ago, when so many of the members
had become Benedicts that the last ball
in the Wyoming House cost each mem
ber over 'iO. It was apparent that al
though the membership might be re
cruited the Individual expense would
continue to be great because of the de
mand for something better and more
elaborate from year to year.
Bo it was decided to father a sub
scription ball in the Frothingham on a
scale not previously attempted and to
Include the married members in the re
sponsibility to share in a possible loss.
Preparations for the 1894 ball in the
Frothingham was begun with a slight
deficiency in the Bachelor treasury
and the financial outlook did not bright
en until the day before the ball. when,
after Incurring an Indebtedness of
about $l,fiOtf. money for tickets poured
so rapidly In upon A. G. Hunt, the
treasurer, that he had no time to de
posit it in the bank. After the ac
counts were settled there remained a
surplus of Jf.O to be devoted toward
last night's splendid event.

'TWAS A HAD ERROR.
Ue Tried to Help the Kallroad Company,
but Palled.
Jie looked a bit hftrd up, but he had
a pleasant face and smooth address as
he walked Into the office of a New York
railroad running West and asked for
the president. When conducted to that
official's desk, he began:
"I want the favor of a pass to Buf
falo." "Can't have It," was the prompt re
ply. "I expected that answer, and am pre
pared for It. I did not come here w ith
a tale of woe. I have not been robbed."
"No?"
"Not a rob. I did not lose money on
the street. I am not obliged to rush
home to see my wife die. 1 am not a
consumptive who Is anxious to get
home and die among old friends. These
please, are old."
"Yes. very old and thin."
"And yet I want a pass to Buffalo.
I feel that I have a right to ask for It."
On what grounds?"
"This morning 1 saved the life of a
passenger on one or your transfer
boats. He was a big, red-whiskered
man named Clark. Had he gone over
board it would have cost you perhaps
$50,000 to settle the claim."
"Clurk? Big man with red whisk
ers? Wretched man. you know not
what you did! That Is the mun who
has already got a claim for $20.(HK)
against us for breuking his leg. If you
had only let him go overboard we
could have settled with his heirs for
less than a quarter of that amount.
o out go away. You have taken
thousands of dollars out of our pockets
by your meddlesome act. C5o right
away if you don't want to be put in
the cell with Oarvey."
The beat walked out without a word,
but, as he reached the door, he wus
heard to grumble:
"I thought I was the best liar on the
Atlantic coast, but I might as well
hang up from this deal. I'm not in it
with Chauncey." Texas 8lftlngs.

Premature
I Old Age j
is deplorably prevalent In thfl

die annually young in years,

though the full allotment of their
time had passed over their heads.
The man who feels that he is
breaking down," experiences loss
of strength, sleep, and appetite,
should at once take
Bovinine
that greatest of concentrated food
preparations. It is not a medicine,
but a builder-up of brain, nerve,
and flesh tissue. By its strength
giving properties, and its action
as an invigorator of each of trie
great life-maintaining organs of
the body, it stops the decline,
and gives to the prematurely
broken-down sufferer & new
lease of life, wherein poor health
is an unnecessary adjunct if its
use is continued. '
