and Grant's comedians this year. Sne has
long been famous for her Siec'nl!lt 'i. hut
her work in the part of Kitty Hlarllght
stamps her us an actress of ability and
a keen sense of humor. Her singing und
dancing are always warmly received, and
she answers recall lifter recall until It
seems as though she would drop trim
sheer exhaustion, but she Is exceedingly
gootl natured and only stops when It looks
as though the audience wanted her to give
the whole show. She will be seen with
"The Muzzier" on Saturday m:t;in; und
night ut the Academy.
On Saturday evenig next, the Inimitable
comedian, Sol. Smith Russell, will be at
the Frolhingham. This time ulso he
makes his first appearance In Old F.ng

Klvals," u pari made famous by Joseph
Jefferson. Interest In this, together with
the magnlllcent cast und scenery, will

in classic comedy. He bus presented the
play with grutlfylng success In a 'lum
ber of other places, surprising even Ids
most Intimate associates by his Interpre

DICKSON COMPANY PLANS
i .
'resident Zshntler in un Interview
Outlines the Company's Purpose. .
BIG CHANCE IN EQUIPMENT
riollcrs of Eitrorae Vroasure to Bj Built,
foundry to Bo Divided Into Two !
partmcnts-l'rocs and Switches
Will Bo Manufactured.
It Is quite plain why any move made
by the Dickson Manufacturing com
pany should be observed with interest
by people of this city. The chief rea
son is that .hu concern is one of the
most extensive In tnla region, but an
added interest Is just now attached to
the plans of the company because of the
recent sweeping change In its organisa
tion and the belief that as radical a
change will be mode In tho business
policy. In view of this condition a Trib
une reporter sought and obtained an In
terview yesterday with Charles H.
Zehnder, the new president of the com
pany. Mr. Kehnder alone Is an interesting
study, in that he Is one of the young
and self-made successful buulness men
whose energy and ability accounts for
the success and progress made through
out the great manufacturing stat.- of
Pennsylvania. Immediately preceding
his engagement by the company a few
weeks ago he was the president of tlio
Jackson a Woodln Manufacturing roiu
puny, of .Berwick,. Ia.. In. that position
be dltl not represent more than a nomi
nal direct financial Interest In the
Jackson & Woodln company, he having
held the office- sobdy. through his abil
ity to till the position, to which Jie bad
been gradually promoted from a -clerkship.'
Hp Is a plain-spoken individual
without any frills, and hus no peculiar
ity or hobby, his lnlnd and bent being
confined to business chunnels. lie litis
a. peculiar, faculty . for meeting unex
pected emergencies and grasping llietn
without ponderous study, it might be
imagined that u summons to New York
or to one of the Kcrunton shops of the
compuny would be received by him with j-.j-enuul
eon:iiilniitv. ' '
Chance 'I lint Have Been Made.
Mr. .ehnder wus a wise to discussing
In detuil his plans for changing the
shop systems of the company, neither
would he talk ut length on the changes
that would be made In the working
force of office and shops. What be said
was In a general way concerning the
company's business plans. From the !
reporter's Interview with him the fol-
lowing facts were gleaned: I
Since the resignation of Sidney j
BroaUbent, the general superintendent,
tne position has been filled by Frank ;
". Oerecke, the company's chief engi- ;
neer. It Is not now known that the of- j
flee of general superintendent will lie i
continued, but Mr. Oerecke will tern-
porurlly attend to the duties of the of-
flee und will be Indefinitely retained as j
an employe. No changes will be made
lu the office force until the arrival hen ,
of Mr. Bower, the new secretary and
treasurer, who succeeds W. H. Par- :
kins. The affulrs of the oftlce will be I
entirely relegated to Mr. Boner, who j
w 111 be given absolute permission to or
ganize his clerical force and will have
entire supervision of the olliees and ac
counts. After Murch 1 the oftlce of pur
chasing agent will be abolished. It Is
now occupied by K. K. Chase, who will
be retained in some other capacity, all
these matters to be left to the discre
tion of the new secretary and treasurer,
lore nut n Will lie Held kcsponyible.
About the shops and sub-departments
of the works 11 Is Mr. Zehnder's Inten
tion to abolish the Intricate system of
numerous foremen. It is the intention
lo .appoint a foreman-head over each
general shop, like the machine, boiler
and forging shops and to hold such
foreman strictly accountable for the
success or failure of the management of
his department. This means, practical
ly, that each foreman will hire or dis
charge his own subordinates and man
age the details of his department as he
sees lit. Heretofore such matters have
been controlled from the general oftlce.
Several radical changes are to be
made at once In enlarging and strength
ening several buildings and equipping
them with improved and heavy ma
chinery. This will' be done at the boil
er houspv which is now equipped for
the manufacture of no heavier than 160
pound pressure hollers, while I he mar
ket demiMids boilers of as high as nOo
potind pressure. To properly do this
work there will have to be built In the
shop heavy traveling cranes and rivet
ting machines capable of welding the
rivt-ts necessary to these later-day boil
ers. Improvements at Cliff Works.
The foundry is to be renovated to per
mit the manufacture of light and heavy
castings in separate parts of the build-
ing. At present this department con-
tains two cupolas, only one of which Is i
being used. The Interior will be re- j
arranged so that the heavy castings j
may be made In one end of the building
and the light work In the other end, 1
one cupola to be used for each class of ;
work.
Klaborate . and extensive Improve
ments are cnntempluted at the Cliff
works, where heavy and complete forg
ing equipment will be introduced. It Is
Intended to make a specialty of frogs
and switches.
The company's plans In the matter of
locomotive manufacturing have not
been definitely decided upon, but for the
present this class of work will proceed
as formerly.
President Zehhder Is now devoting all
his time and attention to so equipping
the shops and -organizing the working
forces of the departments that the com
pany will soon be ready for extensive
contracts. This will tie possible within
a few weeks, although the equipment
will not be completed until possibly the
end of summer. An effort will be made
to Increase the company's business
tour-fold by the end of the year.

TWO HORSES KILLED.
t
I hoy (ot on the Kuilrnad Track in Front
of n Pnsscnscr Train,
The Iielnwnre and Hudson passenger
train due in this city at 7.4.1 lust even
ing" was delayed forty-live minutes by
an accident at Kressling's crossing,
above Olyphant.
At that point a team of horses got
on tht? track In front of the engine and
both were struck and killed. The
wagon to which they were attached was
smashed, but fortunately the driver es-
caped with comparatively Blight Injury.
LAST NIGHT OF THE FETE
; r' ' "
Enthusiastic Audience Fortunate ' in
Witnessing the Pine Programme.
VOTING CONTEST UNDECIDED
Key to the Vet Bos Could Not tie Found.
Humor That tho Fete Will Be
Preseutetl in lilnf haraton
Is Unfounded.
The klrmess is ended. Last night's
performance of the fete was the close
of what. haB been more than a mere
spectacular success It was a social
feature of the winter and a feature that
occupied the attention of a very large
number of the best known young people
in all sections of the city, which means
thut the parents and friends as well
were attracted by It, '
At last night's performance were
given all of the dunces of the older
classes and several of the Juvenile num
bers. All of the scats were not occu
pied but the audience was large and
particularly fortunate In being present
at tht? biggest and best night of the
fete. The alienators were given un
opportunity to cheer for their favor
ite for mayor, as returns were reud
which, though woefully inaccurate,
gave the audience u chance to divide
Itself In cheering lor either Bailey or
Rlpplo.
It hud been Intended to award the
cut-glass articles in the voting contest
for the most popular chaperons und
specialty performer, but the key to tho
box containing the votes could not be
found und the result cunnot be deter
mined until sometime totkiy. After
the performance several of the donated
articles were sold ut uuctton. it has
not been determined whut means will
be taken to dispose of the urtiiies re-'
inaliiliiM: unsold.
Will Not lie Given in Itlneliumtoo.
During: yesterday a rumor was given
credence to ihe effect that u movement
wus on foot to give the klrmess a one
night iireseiitatioii in Hlughumtun. und
Hint t'eiieral Manager liullstead. of the
Lucku wutnta road, hud offered free
transiitii'tutioti t the performers und
the. chaperons. Mrs. Scott, president
of the- Hume for the Friendless, und
other nf the uiunugemeiit who would
know of any such project, disclaimed
uny knowledge of It beyond the rumor
mentioned.
Thekirmesshnsnot been as successful
financially us the klrmess of last year
when n limit $N.(il)0 was cleared for the
Lacknwnnna hospilul. The net pro
ceeds this year will umount to not more
than $."'.oo, und the prolit may be less
than thut sum. This is ncocunted for
by the fuct that a mistake wus maib'
in selling eight tickets for $3. the sys
tem benefiting only the speculators who
hired boys to remain in line all night
at the box utiles, in order to get the llrst
checks Issued. As the general demand
for seats was much lin ger tliun the sup
ply the scalpers niade maybe $2,tloil that
would huve gone to the Home for the
Fiioiiilloss. ,
Another large sum was lost through
the management's Inability to dispose
of a large number of donated articles
by chance sale. Muyhe this caused a
loss of $1,000. Still another large sum,
possibly $2,000. was lost bv not selling
the boxes and loges at auction us was
dor.e last year. Adding these rieft-lieni-lcs,
will be seen that a totnl of
about So.imiO is lost to the Home for the
Friendless.
Real and Artistic Success. .
A more cheerful matter for consider
ation is the real und artistic success of
the ft'to, which overshadows even the
splendid klrmess of u year ago. That
the duncers could be drilled In such a
short time to such a degree of perfec
tion wns not lo lie believed or compre
hended unless by nctuul witnessing. So
every erson who took part, either in
the actual duniing or In the manage
ment, hus the satisfaction of having
presented a beautiful und elaborate
spectaclo and of having earned about
$5,000 that will be netted from the pro
ceeds. Miss Ktc-wart. the director, has proved
herself a marvel. She has displayed an
Indefat liability which would be rare
In a niun und is still rarer in a woman,
antl nn executive ability and display of
talent that is rare In any individual.
She received a handsome compensation
for her work? Yes, she did, and she
earned it. It would be difficult to im
agine what Miss Stewart's Idea of a
klrmess wil lie next year If her ideas
should hapen to show a development
proportionate to 1S03 and 1S90.
