faces of type will be introduced, and
merchants will do well to consull us

RUSSELL AS "BOB ACRES."
Very Satisfactory Performance of Sheri
dan' Sterling Old Comedy.
Sol Smith Russell's appearance at the
Frothlnnrham Saturday night In Sheri
dan's favorite play, "The Rivals," was
greeted with a rather sparse audience.
If It waa t that Scranton 'theater-Koers,
with memories of the grand production
given this sterling old comedy by the
Jefferson-Drew company some years
ago at the Academy, feared a Rlurlng
discrepancy, they were misled by their
apprehensions for once. Mr. ltu.sscll
noes not aspire too high when he es
says the role of "Fighting Bob" which
so many worthy actors have chosen to
display their ability in.
So liberal and enthusiastic was the
applause that at the end of the second
act Mr. Russell was compelled to make
a speech. He Bald that It appeared
from the size of tho house that Hcran
tonlans do not take as kindly to the old
Bterllntr come'dles as to some of those
which are the output of the modern
brain, and which are the rage just ut
present.
As a whole the performance was well
staged and generally satisfactory. Next
to Mr. Russell the honors went to Mrs.
Fanny Addison Pitt, the lrn. Mala
prop, and George W. Denhum, the
David. Mr. Hudson made u pood Sir
Anthony, and George Woodward did
well as lr Lucius. Charles Muokny's
Captain Absolute was fairly good, and
of Miss Minnie Radcllffe, as Lydla, the
same might be said. .
DK. LOGAN HONORED.
Elected a Member of the Victoria Insti
tute of Great llrliain.
Rev. Dr. S. C. Logan has been elected
a member of the Victoria Institute, or
Philosophical society of Great Hrltaln
whose headquarters are In London.
This organization was founded fur the
purpose of investigating the most Im
portant tiuestlons of philosophy and
science, especially those that bear upon
the great truths revealed In the holy
scriptures, with a view of reconcllintr
any apparent discrepancy between
Christianity and science.
The present first vice president. Is the
right honorable the lord high chancel
lor, Halsbury. P. C. F. R. 8.; we are
sure our readers will be pleased to hear
that the doctor has been so deservlnply
remembered and honored. This would
seem to Indicate that the reverend doc
tor is not esteemed abroad, as quite so
Ignorant a gentleman, as the Scranton
Republican (Dem.) would have its
readers believe.
ANTHRACITE STATISTICS.
No Advance in Prices Expected for the
Month of Moron.
The president of one of the larger an
thracite coal companies estimates the
market requirements for Murcli at not
exceeding 3.000,000 tons. It is Improb
able that the sales' agents at their
meeting on Thursday of next week will
recommend an advance in coal prices
for March. The cold weather has not
Increased the stocks of any mining und
carrying companies to any great ex
tent. but has largely depleted the stocks
In the hands of dealers.
Very little business has as yet been
done at 'the circular prices established
nt the last meeting of the sales agents,
but after March 1 full figures will be
received on all coal mined. Statistics
on anthracite production, which have
not been published since July. 1S93, will
be given out monthly hereafter.

From now until April James O. llallcy
will be a much sought after num. ills
experience during thut time will pre
pare him for what he may expect when
he becomes mayor of Scranton.
Already the hord of place welters Is
on his trull and are beginning to make
his Hie miserable, with their tinportiln
iugs tor positions in the different de
purtnn nts of the idly governments.
During the campaign promises wore
made right and left to everyone who
hud influence enough to get a vote und
now every man Jack of them la coin
ing forward to cluim whut he feels, he is
justly entitled to a redemption of the
promise. ...
It Is estimated that there are fully
1,(100 men In the city who expect to wear
brass buttons und swing a policeman's
club under the Incoming administration
and w hen all of these reinforced by
friends of high and low degree get In
full chase alter Mr. Ualley und those
who made promises In his name U is
apparent thut there is annoyance galore
In store for a number of men who dab
ble in the great American game of
politics.
The police department is by no means
the only one In which men have- been
promised positions. Many expect to be
cared for In the lire department or un
der the street commissioner and not u
few are practicing horseback riding
with a view to succeeding Sanitary Po
liceman Hurlio, Food Inspector Thomas
and Detective Dyer.
Candidate for Chief of Police
The candidates for chief of police are
already actively pressing their claims
for recognition. At pivseut Frank Rob
ling, deputy CnlUd States murshul,
leads the procession, lie started full tilt
after the ottice the moment Mr. Bailey's
election was assured and has the hack
ing of August and Charles Robinson, us
well as of Postmaster V. M. Vftnii
ling, Frank Thompson and a number
of other Democrats who have been un
der the ban of the party's displeasure
for some time. If Mr. Butley wants to
begin administration by glvliDf mor
tal affront to two-thirds of f,he mem hers
of his party he will appoint Mr. Rob
Ung. That Is the very thing lie is likely
to do many well Informed Democrats
believe. One of them In speaking to a
Tribune reporter yesterday Bald: ,
"If the Robinsons insist on the ap
pointment of Mr. Robllng I don't see
how Air. Bailey can refuse to do so.
They contributed liberally to defray his
campaign expenses this year and also
rendered him great assistance when he
run for sheriff. The mayor-elect Is not
the kind of a man to forget their kind
ness and If they press Mr. Holding's
suit It Is not likely thut they will he
turned down. If he does uppulnt him
1 feel sorry for the inuyor-t-lcct. Ills
path will not he strewn with roses."
t ft her candidates for chief of police
are John .1. Shea, ex-county detective,
and Joseph Tuylor, of the West Side.
The names of P, J. Carroll, of Hellevue,
and John Fitzsliumoiis have also been
mentioned. The name of Mr. Fltr.slm
mons is also frequently mentioned In
connection with the office of captain, of
police. A compromise will probably be
affected by which one of the disappoint
ed candidates for chief will be made a
captain in case that office Is continued.
Clerk of the Common Council.
There Is the liveliest kind of a fight
on for the office ot clerk of the common
council. Among those whose names
are mentioned for the position are
James C. Bandsh, John J. Cordon, D. J.
Motiarlty, John J. Cfrmpbli, M. J.
O'Toole and William McLean. The lat
ter was clerk of the common council
during the fiscal year 18114.
P. J. Hickey, the member of the com
mon council from the Nineteenth ward,
wants to be chief of the lire depart
ment, and A. T. Detweller, of Provi
dence; Harvey I,on. of the central tit",
and several others have a similar am
bition. John J. Fahey has been mentioned for
the position of chief of police and street
commissioner, but says he does not
want either. Daniel P. Battle Is not so,
he would have no hesitancy whatevet
in accepting the position of street com
missioner, und his friends nay that It
would be a graceful act on the part of
his late compatriots on the Democratic,
ticket to provide n-miug berth for him.
Attorney John M. Corbet t Is a candi
date for the position of private secre.
tary to Mayor Ralley. There are oth
ers who have an eye on the sume olllce
and Corhett will be fortunate if he does
not get the marble heart about April 1.
In the Other Departments. -
There are already or soon will be In
numerable applications for positions
under the city treasurer and city con
troller. John J. Uaffney Is a possibility
for deputy city controller and -P. J.
Ruane for deputy city treasurer. A
large body of the young Democrats of
the West Side will urge the appoint
ment of William llaggeiiy. of the Fifth
ward, us food Inspector to succeed Rich
ard Thomas. Kvery other position that
Is available Is eagerly eyed by the of
fice seekers and there will be no lack
of talent ready and anxious to fill them.
The otllce hunters are nil basing llnir
calculations on the assumption that
Air. Bailey will make a eloun sweep
when he goes into ofllce. He will find
It entirely Impracticable to do so. a cir
cumstance which will be apt to Involve
htm in unpleasantness with the spoils
seekers. Scranton. during recent years,
has been getting down to e. mure solid
business basis each year, and men have
been retained year In anu year out
through different changes of adminis
tration because they were qualltled and
experienced men whom It would not he
good business policy to change. That
policy has been steadily bringing the
departments of the city government to
a high standard of excellence In the
matter of transacting public business.
The system employed in well ordered
business houses has been applied to the
city government, and any radical de
parture from It made nt. once by Mr.
Bailey after going into ofllce would
seriously embarrass his administration
at the start.
To expedite the work of doling out
the spoils and to make each appoint
ment as satisfactory as possible, a com
mittee of the Democratic lenders has
been appointed to consider all applica
tions for positions.
Their decision is sup)Osetl to be ac
cepted by the man having the appoint
ing power.

Unless the estimates committee

At Friday night's meeting the esti

on the park commissioners tilling this

however load to extraordinary means
