Mrs. Nellie Lowry, the. new general

reception and welcome Tuesday eve
ning In the association rooms. Her
home Is at Columbus, Ohio, and she
is a graduate of the Wesley an univer
sity of that state. She has had a train
ing; which has particularly equipped
her for her present work. She is a
graduate of the Chicago Trulnlng
school, has studied association meth
od In the associations at Pittsburg,
Toledo and New York city, and was
for a time assistant secretary of ; the
Boston association. While a student at
the Wesley an university she met Mr.
Lowry and became his wife after his
ordination Into the Methodist minis
try. She pursued her training for as
sociation work after marriage with the
idea that she would be better prepared
for the duties of a minister's wife. It
was not long, however, before her hus
band died of typhoid fever. She then
decided to continue her association
study. Mrs. Lowry is a young woman
of extreme quiet grace In manner and
voice and shows a marked executive
ability. In her the Scranton associa
tion has evidently found a valuable
secretary.

In a breesy h-tter to the Wilkes-Barre
Leader from Kansas City under date
of April 1 Dan Hart remarks: As Pud
din' Head Wilson says: "This is the
day upon which we are reminded of
what we are the other three hundred
and idxty-four days of the year." I
saw that delightful play here last night
and cannot recall a play which 1 en
Joyed more. It proves the falsity of
the laws dramatists have followed for
years. In the four acts and prologue
not one woid of love Is spoken, and in
the end the evil-doing young man Is
not dragged off to punishment. .In
every way Krank Mayo has digressed
from the old beaten path, and success
has smiled ii'xm him. The pluy Is no
more delightful an entertainer thuu ts
Frank Mayo himself. Seated ut a table
In Lohmann's restaurant two years ago
he told me of his intention to give to
the stage one of Mark Twain's sketches.
The ptory of the play us told me then
lacked Interest. 1 have never met the
man who could tell interestingly the
plot of a play. It Is a hard thing to do.
it la like the description of an oil
painting. Imagination or words can
not surply the expressions or colors,
and all one realties In the subject. I
remember Mr. Mayo explaining the
thumb murk scheme, and I frankly told
lulu that I thought a serious interest
could not be built around such a seem
ingly comedy subject. This man of
foily year's experience looked at me
kindly and said: "You muy know more
about it than I do. yet 1 will attempt
to build a play around that theme."
He let me down easy. If 1 knew one
fiftieth a much about play building as
does Frank Mayo, I would be happy.
Yet I attempted to advise him. There
are two subjects upon which every man
can give advice writing plays and run
ning a newspaper. What matters It if
he cannot tell an editorial from a per
sonal, or a comedy from a comedy
drama? He will drag a fellow into a
hallway on a windy night and proceed
to give him the benefit of his experience
of reading newspapers and selling plays.
Why is it we never advise the carpen
ter, the plumber or the telegraph ope
rator? Yet we will advise the dramat
ist and the editor.
II II II
Mr. Hart, noticing that Mantell lias
a new play called "The Queen's Gar
ter," wants to know where these play
building fellows are going to stop. "We
have had," says he, " 'The Queen's
Lace Handkerchief,1 'The Queen's
Necklace,' and now the garter. How
would 'The Queen's Bloomers' do? No
use. The line must be drawn some
where. I saw the garter play In Cin
cinnati. I was not Impressed with Its
moral, even If brainy Espy Williams,
the most pious of dramatists, did build
It. At the end of one of the four acts
King Henry IV. sits himself down to
think. Kings always do a large amount
of thinking In plays, and as the task Is
so brain-wearing they conclude always
after thinking to cut off some fellow's
head to prevent further thinking all
around. King Henry IV. Is novel. He
arises after bowing his crested head to
slow music and an enthusiastic gal
lery, and then loudly proclaims: "Gen
tlemen of the court, there has been a
turn in the affairs of men. No more
singing In the moonlight before me
lady's chamber to win her heart. No!
the way now to win a woman's love is
to steal her garter." That line Is night
ly spoken to a delighted audience by a
stately king, and Is but a sample of
what is creeping Into plays nowadays.
Next season playwrights, I suppose,
will all give advice on how to win a
woman's love. As I write I can see
Steve Brodie standing in a glare of
red light, proclaiming to his pals:
Yc're dead wrong mugs. De way to
win de lady's love is to chew her ear.
See!" "
II II II
The history of "Robin Hood" Is so
well known that little remains to be
told. It Is the most successful light
opera ever produced. It was brought
to light June 9, 1890. at the Chicago
opera house, where it met with Imme
diate success, and since that time has
been sung in all the important cities of
the country. No other opera ever pro
duced by the Boston ians met with such
favor. As it was especially written for
this organization, equal opportunities
are offered all the artists, and its
charming melodies and quaint whole
some humor stamped It as out of the
ordinary. "Robin Hood" has earned in
gross receipts nearly $2,000,000, and
these figures demonstrate beyond all
cavil that on the lyric stage, as well as
the dramatic, those works which are
pure In tone, wholesome In atmosphere
and Inoffensive in representation, bring
out that element which Is rarely seen
within the portals of the theater. It
will be sung by the Bostonians at the
Academy of Music tonight.

Margaret Mather will probably play
to large business at the Academy Tues
day, April 14, when she presents Shake
speare's great masterpiece, "Romeo
and Juliet." too long absent from our
boards. When tiie name of Shake
speare is announced, we feel somewhat
like the prodigal son returning to his
own once more, for surely our theater
going public have indulged 'In a long
spree of burlesque and vaudeville and
theatrical concoctions impossible to
name appropriately. Miss. Mather Is
an actress whose powers have wide
scope; she lias in the last few years
played parts ranging all the way from
joan or Arc to Nance Oldileld. and in
selecting her present bill she hits chos
en one of the most exuding roles, In all
of which she has been most slgnully
successful. Everything will be done
with that elaborateness and care for
details that is a characteristic of our
times. Frederick Paulding, heads Miss
Mather's support, which Includes the
names of many other sterling actors.
Magnificent new scenery and contumes
wlli be used in this production. .Miss
Mather also has In her company six
beautiful young ladies for the minuet;
In fact, nothing will be left undone to
make this n memorable engagement.

MONTROSE.
Judge W. II. Jessup recently request
ed the state veterinary officials to ex
amine his herd or short-horned Jerseys,
thirty-five In number, and as a result
twenty-eight were condemned, each
once evidencing symptoms of tubercu
losis. The remaining seven will suf
fer another test. The test Is simple,
yet exacting, in nature. The animals
receive at first an injection of tubercu
line, at which time their temperature
Is recorded; the temperature Is there
after taken every three hours. If the
animal is afflicted with the disease, its
temperature will immediately ascend,
and In some cases, where the disease Is
advanced, will raise four and Ave
points In a short time. Healthy ani
mals remain at normal temperature,
the injection affecting them In no way.
One cow, a remarkably fine one, was
killed and a post-mortem examination
conducted by Dr. Walters, of Wilkes
Barre, who was assisted by Drs. Knoll
and Butterfleld. Every Indication as
given by the test was found. Dr. Wal
ters thinks of the 8,000 head of cattle
In Susquehanna county, fully 3,000 are
affected with tuberculosis. He also
states that the meat, milk and butter
of these diseased cows will transplant
the disease to those consuming them,
provided the system is In a certain con
dition, that condition as yet unknown

Past Commander C. W. Brodhead, of
Castle Hall lodge, Knights of Pythias,
Is devoting considerable time to a
plan, of which he Is the father, for
building a home for aged and Infirm
members of the order. Mr. Brodhead,
who has been a member of that worthy
organization for twenty-four years,
said: "I am more than Interested tn
this movement. If I succeed In start
ing it I shall feel doubly paid for my
eff orts. The plan which I have In view
Is not for building an elegant, costly
home; but this, select a good farm con
tiguous to a railroad, erect a good, sub
stantial building so planned that as
exlgincies may require It can be en
larged without Impairing the Idea of
the original building, but on the con
trary, adding to the general effect. In
time this rurni would of Itself be the
source of considerable revenue, and
while it might never prove self-supporting,
it would certainly not be an en
tire load of itself. In Northeastern
Pennsylvania we have ninety lodges,
with a membership of 8,000, and on
May 15 a meeting will be held at
Wllkes-Barre for the purpose of fur

In the report of the Republican con

proceeding was Inadvertently omitted.
The entire support of Susquehanna
county was unanimously given to Con
gressman J. H. Codding, of Bradford
county, the present representative of
the Fifteenth district, in Mr. Codd
lng's speech he very gracefully thanked
the county for Its support and made
mention of the fact that she stood
loyal in the ranks of the Republican
party. "When 1 am asked at Washing
ton what class of people I represent,"
said the doughty congressman from
Tou'andu, "I tell them 1 represent the
fearless, loyal, honest tolleis of north
eastern Pennsylvania from the grand
old Wllmot-Giw district." (Hearty
applause.) Mr. Codding, although no
stranger to Susquehanna county vot
ers. Is not well-known; his gentlemanly
bearing and kindly way won for him
many new friends, and it was a happy
fact that he made himself known at
so opportune a time.
At this writing it Is feared that the

A pleasant evening Is before lovers
of light opera who attend the presenta
tion of "Robin Hood" at the Academy
tonight. "Robin Hood" contains a
charming plot; plenty of fun and ex
cellent music; and rendered by the only
Bostonians cannot fall to please. The
career of "Robin Hood" has been pe
culiar. The work of unknown author
and composer the opera was hawked
about for seven or eight years, and
was looked upon with suspicion by the
managers who were afraid to risk any
thing uu a work that embraced fea
tures of originality a work that had
m 4 the recommendation of foreign crea
tion, or at least was not In Imitation of
some master across the ocean. At last
an "angel" appeared and cash was pro
cured for a London presentation. "Rob
In Hood" across the water was an in
stant success and no further intro
duction was needed for American man
agers. It Is said that one hundred
thousand dollars In royalties have al
ready been received by Smith and De
Koven, and the opera still rides serene
ly on the wave of popularity.

pleasure for music lovers to again list
en to the sweet voice Of Mrs. G. du B.
Dlmmtck, who Is one of the favorite
sopranos of the valley, and Miss Van
Dervoort, contralto, won new laurels
by the artistic rendition of the solo

event increases. Music lovers are on
the qui vlve of anticipation a smile
shows on every face at the very men
tion of Victor Herbert, his winning per
sonality and marvelous bow have so
endeared him to Scranton people. The
chief feature of the concert perhaps
will be the appearance here of Mr.
Keith, the fame of his exquisite voice
having preceded him. The programme
has been made with the earnest desire
to please those who love simple music
as well as the more exacting critics.
Victor Herbert will contribute live
numbers to the programme, each one
of which will be a distinct delight;
while Mr. Keith will be equally gener
ous. The latter will sing by special re
quest Adams' famous "Noel." The San
Francisco Bulletin says: "His second
number, the favorite "Noel," fairly
captured the audience and brought the
singer a perfect ovation. The concert
will close with the glorious song, "East
er Eve," when the singer will have the
air of an obligato played by Victor
Herbert. Scranton people are to be
congratulated upon the opportunity of
hearing those two great artists and
should accord them a general reception.

FramoroFtho Indiana Military Dill Hado
Well by Paino's Colory Compound.
Major Robbtns of the Second Indiana
State guards, aide on General McKee's
staff and president of Camp Gray, has
been for two years one of the most In
fluential members of the Indiana legis
lature and the author of the famous
Indiana Military Law of 1S89.
Major Robblna was a very sick man
up to the time of taking Palne's Celery
compound.
In proof of what that remarkable
remedy can do to make a sick person
strong and well, Major Robblna' letter
from Indianapolis best tells Its own
straightforward story.
"I was troubled with a torpid liver,
constipation and the accompanying sal
low complexion, while my entire ner
vous system wan entirely deranged,
and I was greatly reduced In flesh.
While In this condition I was taken
down with a very severe attack of the
grip, and was, for a long time, con
fined to the house and my bed.
"I resorted to various medicines and
tonics, and under their temporary In
fluence made several attempts to re
sume my business of traveling about
In the Interests of A. Steffen, cigar
manufacturer of this city; but relapse
succeeded relapse, and I not only was
obliged to abandon my business, but
growing gradually worse, became ap
prehensive of the ultimate result.
"At this Juncture, my mother-in-law,
who had used your remedy with grati
fying results, prevailed upon me to
commence taking Palne's celery com

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.-The
New Orleans Picayune reports that
while the south has gained 24 per cent.
In population during the last twenty
yars the enrollment of its school at
tendance has Increased 130 per cent.
The value of southern school property
In the same time has increased from
$16,000,000 to $51,000,000. The claim is
made that of the $320,000,000 expended
for education in the south in the last
eighteen years one-fourth has been for

PRODUCTION OF PIG IRON. The
production of pig iron in March was
slightly above that of February, ac
cording to the figures of the Iron Age.
The weekly capacity of furnaces in
blast on March 1 was lS9,5!i3 tons, and
on April 1 the weekly capacity was lsw,
21 tons. The highest point ever
reached was last November, when the
weekly capacity was 217,306 tons. The
present output Is large, and it is great
er than the demand, as might be ex
pected. During March the stocks of
pig iron unsold rose to 718.244 tons, an
Increase of 60,000. Stocks have In
creased 322,000 tons since last Novem
ber, during which period there has been
a decrease In the output of iron, ex
cepting only last month. Bids have
fallen materially during that period,
but they are now belli? advanced be
cause of an arbitrary increase in the
price of ore and coke. An encouraging
feature is that, notwithstanding the
depression In business and the fact that
railroads are not In a position to buy
material freely, there is a tremendous
consumption of pig iron.

HOW ENGLAND IS FED.-Says the
Nineteenth Century: "In 1804. with
only a trifle of 1,900,000 acres under
wheat, England produced 7,300,000
quarters at home, Importing 16,310,000
quarters of wheat grain, besides lit,
130,000 hundred-weight of flour that is
to say, a total of 21.000,000 quarters, al
lowing for flour. In 1804, then, three
out of every four Engllshtnent lived
wholly upon foreign bread. In 1815.
owing to the tremendous reduction of
the area under wheat, not one In every
five drew his bread from the country.
Our dally bread comes to us from
abroad. But this Is not the only neces
sary which we Import. Of food stuffs,
which might conceivably be produced
In the country, we purchase from the
foreigner nearly half of our meat,
nearly 16,500 worth of butter and mar
garine, fC.OTO.OOO worth of fruits and
bops. 5,400.000 worth of cheese, 13.780,
000 worth of eggs, 1,000,000 worth of po
tatoes, 778,000 worth of poultry and
1,090,000 worth of vegetables. In addi
tion to these there are the various
kinds of colonial produce, of which
sugar alone could be grown In England.
A small rise In each of these items
would Inflict innumerable hardships
upon our working population. A great
rise would mean starvation."

WORK AND DRINK. The United
States department of labor, under
the direction of twlslsoner Car
ure to stale that 1 at once began ta
feel Its beneficial effects.
"My appetite, which had failed me,
returned, my constipation ceased, and
very soon my liver became normal In
Its action. Following this my sleep
lessness and headaches ceased and I
began to gain flesh. The Insidious hold
on me that the grip had hitherto had
was relaxed, and I felt Invigorated and
strengthened so I could resume my vo
cation, and feel free from the languid,
enervated feeling that had so long pos
sessed me.
"My friends were pleasantly sufprluej
with the chnnge in my condition, and
I was only too happy to recommend
Palne's celery compound to such of
my acquaintances as were suffering
from any of the complaints which so
complicated my case. Therefore. I
again say I feel Impelled by a deep
sense of gratitude to express how much
I have been helped, for I now feel and
look like a new man."'
Physicians who rely on Palne's celery
compound as thousands of the most
wide-awake members of the profession
are doing, especially now that nearly
every one feels the need of a genuine
spring remedy physicians know very
well what that languor and tired feel
ing means. They know that debility to
day often results lit nervous prostra
tlon tomorow unless the tired system
is quickly Invigorated.
That Is why all over the country
today Palne's celery compound Is be
Ing taken by the advice of skilled phy
sicians. It Is the one remedy that physl
clans can conscientiously call a gen
roll D. Wright; has commenced an
investigation which promises to b
one of the most Important yet con
ducted by this bureau. The subject of
It is the liquor problem In relation
to Industry. The amount of capital In
vested in the manufacture of liquors
and substantial statistics of a similar
character will be carefully collated, but
the most imnortant trend of the In
vestigation will be in the direction of
ascertaining the causes which lead to
wage earners of the country. Th
agents who will have in charge the
propounding of Interrogatories In this
line of the work will place themselves
in communication with all establish
ments employing large numbers of men.
These establishments will be placed un
der their seuarate heads, according to
the kind of goods manufactured. Their
managers will be asked the number of
persons In their employ, and then u
series of questions will follow, the an
swers to which will give a valuable
Insight Into the subject under consid
eration. A manufacturer, for Instance,
will be asked If. when employing new
men, he habitually or usually takes In
to consideration the question whether
they are addicted to the use of Intoxi
cating liquors or not. If such Is the
case, he will then be asked how he sat
isfied himself of the facts. He will also
be interrogated as to whether any con
siderable portion of his employes are
subject to night work, and if those so
engaged or more addicted to the use of
intoxicating liquors than others. In
case this is so, the character of the
occupations they follow will be request
ed and the number of men employed
In each. The manufacturer will also
be questioned upon the subject of fre
quent and considerable overwork on the
part of his employes, whether they are
exposed to severe weather, whether
they are employed irregularly, as, for
instance, by seasons or by day and
night alternately, and if so, whetbej
such employes, under such conditions,
are more subject to the use of strong
drink than others who work regularly
and are not subject to exposure. A
vast number of other questions will
be asked. For instance, the bureau
will endeavor to learn whether the re
duction in the daily hours of labor in
the establishment noticeably lessened
the use of Intoxicating liquor among
the employes. If employes are more
addicted to the use of Intoxicating
liquors Immediately after regular wage
payment than at other times. If the
overindulgence In Intoxicating liquors
on Sundays and holidays interferes
with the usefulness on the days Imme
diately following, and a number of sim
ilar questions bearing upon the same
text. In conclusion each employer In
terrogated will be asked for his views
as to what means better than those
now employed can be tnken by em
ployers, communities, organizations,
municipalities or states to lessen the)
consumption of. Intoxicating liquors,
among the people. The investigation
now in progress is the result of a long
crusade, which was waged on the part
of the Prohibitionists in an effort to
secure from congress authority for th
appointment of a commission to Inves
tigate the moral and substantial effect
of the alcoholic liquor traffic.
