Tills evening ut the Frotliiiighmn a
great production of "In old Kentucky"
will be Kiven. No American piny pro
duced in this country hi iiiany years
has been so enthusiastically received.
In the course of a long urtlcle review
ing Its merits, the Huston (Jlolif wild:
"'In tld Kentucky' brings one nearer
to tlie man uml woninii Heaven creat
ed. The platform scene in which thirty
or forty pickaninnies take part Is thor
oughly original and uway ahead of
anything or the kind ever seen here.
Then tin-re Is the most realistic run
scene ever seen on any stage witli a
troupe of blooded horses and Jockeys
that do not simply walk on. in the cnu
veutionnl way, but dash across wilh a
real apneariince of genuineness. Tin
stage settings all deserve the highest
praise."
Tomorrow night Sousa's great band
will give one ol Its fatuous couretis at

manner in which Snlisti leads Ills audi

of calling for what he wants that
makes the people laugh; not because
he Is grolesipie or awkward: unite the

like nothing and no one else but Snusu.

W here have they been hiding their pulii

that it would be patriotism on liielr pMrl

eipuidy noted for their cruelly ami h.ir
li.irily la order that they may eoaei'iilru:e
their -strengtli to try and dishonestly Kruh
the Ishtn.l i.f Cuba from Spain. It is irue
that Spain has shewn a certain ami, mil of
cruelty in Its rfform to repress reU-llloii,
bill has there licen any war yet nn rec
ord In which cruelty cannot be 1 raced

I have lately heard ministers from their

I should advise ministers to devote their
energy In teaching the commandment
which says: "Thou Shalt not covet thy

Atneininn. proihoiioiary C. !!. I'ryor,
Deputy Prothonotary .Myron Kassoii
and Detective Thomux K. ISeynolds.
The basis of the suit wus that the
defendants had confederaled ami con
spired to hinder, delay and defeat the
action brought by John ti.. Jennings
uguinst the railroad company to re
cover duiuugi s In tlie sum of $.",0,tinO
for injuries Mr. Jennings' son, James,
sustained In the Mud isiin wreck on

resented the plaliililT and the defend

Cotnegys.
Mr. Coniegys announced that their
side xvas ready for trial. Judge Ed
wards said the plu I nt llT's attorney de
clined to try the case and was not
ready for trial. Mr. Coniegys then
moved for a lion-suit. Judge Kdwurds
granted It. When everything was
ready to go on Mr. Smith came for
ward with a long petition containing
the oft reiM'iiled ehargos he lias made
about not being able to get 11 fair and
impartial trial in Lackawanna county,
und usking for a change of venue to
some other court.

isfy Mr. Smith. He wanted to get out
of the county altogether, alleging thut
tlie conspiracy wns so great agulnst
him and his client, Mr. Jennings, Hint
the Juries would be packed.
I'pon Mr. Smith's departure from the
