THE GRAND DUCHESS.
Produced In a Splendid Manner h Lillian
Russell nnd Company.
Lillian Russell should feel pleased
with herlnltial Introduction to Scranton
theater-goers, for the audience that
welcomed her at the Academy of Music

meaningless words, when used in con
nection with matters theatrical.
ian night s audience was certainly
as large as the possibilities of the house
would permit, and that it was enthusi
astic the numerous encores eloquently
testify.
The opera bouffe that Miss Russell
nnd her company sang last night was
' "The Grand Duchess," one of Offen
bach's light and entertaining efforts.
It was mounted and costumed In gor
geous style, and It was sung In a fault
less way.! J,lss Russell was the grand
duchess, of course, and her regal
beauty seemed to particularly fit her
for the role. She was In fine voice and
. the solos she sang were rapturously
applauded.' She always graciously re-
p.w.ivca . ... . .
. It was one of the best productions of
, light opera ever seen In the city, the
compuny supporting Miss Russell
proving worthy stage companions for
her. Fred 'olomon led the comedians
and among tno otnpr very clever mem.
bers of the company were Joseph Her.
"bert. Richie Ling. Owen Westford,
William Ii. Malsdell and Mont Celeste.

commended for his laudable efforts to
give Bcrantonlans an opportunity of
seeing light opera produced as It was

LAW SCHOOL PROJECT.
Lafayette College Seems to Favorably
Consider the Proposition to Establish a
Branch Sehool Hero.
Matters at present point toward the
establishing In this city a law school
branch of Lafayette college. Judge
Alfred Hand and Attorney J. H. Ham
ilton returned yesterday from F.aston
where they conferred with the college
officials. The rsult Is that Dr. K. D.
Wartleld, president of the college, will
head a committee which will visit
Scranton In two or three weeks for In
vestigation. At the conference In F.aston there
were present with Judge Hund and Mr.
Hamilton, Dr. Wuiilcld, ex-Attorney
General Klrkpntrlck. K. J. Fox and S.
L. Flsler, secretary and treasurer of
the college board of trustees. It waB
decided by theseJ gentlemen to for
mally present Scranton's proposition to
the college board at Its meeting on
Thursday of next week. The board
will then select the committee to visit
this city. They will probably come
here Feb. 21.
Thus far the negotiations have been
put forward by Scranton and. rather
than urge the college to establish the
law school here. Judge Hund and At
torney Hamilton have put forward the
advisability of the project and shown
Scranton's position in the mutter. In
case the school Is located. Its local
faculty will probably be the same a
that of the defunct Dickinson school,
at least all of that faculty have ex
pressed their willingness to continue

Twentieth Ward Primary Officials.

Fred Jones and Charles Slmrell Are the
Accused .Men-llandy-.Maa Withers
Appears in the esse Indica
tions Point to Arrests Today.
Two vlgilants of the First district of
the Twentieth ward were arrested yes
terday morning at the Instance of the
Fellows coterie. The episode caused
a flutter among smuller politicians and
ward men who had plenty to talk about
until they learned that the men, Fred
Jones and Charles Slmrell, had waived
a hearing and entered ball fur their
appearance In court.
The arrests were a mild beginning of
the threat made by the leaders of the
bolters from the recent city Republican
convention which nominated Colonel
E. II. Ripple for mayor, to cause whole
sale arrests and prosecutions of pri
mary officers in many districts which
returned Ripple delegates. The little
excitement that the arrests caused
among the smaller fry of politicians
was not shared by Colonel Ripple and
his near friends who do not view the
matter seriously but consider it the
vapuiings caused by a few disgruntled
fellows who are trying to create u sen
timent against the regular Republican
nominees und are willing to use any
means to accomplish that end.
It could not be authoiltlvely learned
lute yesterday ufternoon that any more
arrests will be made, but there are cir
cumstantial facts in support of a ru
mor that information will be made this
morning ugainst primary officials In
one of the two Twelfth ward districts.

rants were Issued for Jones nnd Slmrell,
was drawn up by Attorney George
Watson, of the firm of Watson & Zim
merman, was signed by Henry Schlentss

of the rump convention, accompanied

the lutter's office to Alderman Fuller's.

Attorney .Watson said to a Tribune
reporter: "I have not been retained as
counsel nor do I know anything con
cerning the truth or falsity of the
charge of Schlentz. I was merely en
gaged to draw up .the- nffldavlt In
proper legnl form and to represent the
plaintiff nt the hearing. The hearing
didn't take place. That's all I know
about It. Thus far the battle Is all
talk and has no smell of gunpowder.
I don't know that any more arrests
will be made."

as possible In order to keep the voting
public agitated and create sentiment
against the regular Republican ticket.
