DRESS REHEARSAL
OF COMIC OPERA

the Frotuiogham Tonight.
LILLIAN RUSSELL IS THE STAR
"An American llcinity" Is the Tillo
of the Opera and It (lives the Well
Kuown Diva un i:crllenl Opportu
nity to Divplny Hit Operatic Tnl-cnt--Suppurtcd
by n (loud Company
A very satisfactory dress rehearsal
of "An American Reuuv-' took place
ut the Frouiingham last night. It is a
three act comic opera which will serve
to Introduce ihe fair Lillian Russell to
theatregoers this season. The opinion
cf those who saw "An American lieau
ty" last night, handicapped with the
dull setting of a ilrst dress rehenrsnl,
were of the opinion that It will meet
with mm h success and that In. the new
opera Miss Uussell has a role that dis
plays to excellent advantage her dis
tinctive operatic talent.
The book of the opera was written by
"Hugh Norton," pen name of M. S. Mc
L linn, the brilliant young man who
until recently was editor of Tow n Top
ics of New York. The music of the
opera is by Custave Kerber, who hna
done his portion of the work in a very
satisfactory manner. Both Mr. McLcl
lan and Mr. Kerber were present last
night, as were George W. Lederer, of
the lirm 01 Cnnury & Lederer, Miss
Russell's managers; William Perzedl, of
New York; Kdward Funkcnstein, a
prominent lawyer of Sim Francisco;
Mine. Kate Holla, Lite eif the Metropoli
tan Opera House, New York; A. H.
Hummel, of the law lirm of Howe &
Hummel, of New York; Nicholas ISid
elle. of the New York Herald; William
King, of the New York World; Colonel
George F. llinlon, of the New .York
Kvening World; Alan Dole, of the New
York .lournul; Ambrose Constlne and
K. A. Nhen, of Wilkes-Rarre; Charles
F. Gale, of New York, nnd Job Hedges,
private secretary to Mayor Strong, of
New York.
The eompnny numbers over sixty per
rons nnd It arrived in this city Satur
day evening over the Lehigh Valley
and Delaware and Hudson railroad la

SPKNT T1IK DAY RKHEARSINO.
I'arly yesterday morning the com
pany be trari the linal rehearsals under
the direction of that past master of
stage craft, George Lederer, and kept
at that task steadily all day. At 8.1M
last night the curtain wus swung up
on the dress rehearsal when the result
of the careful rehearsing was appar
ent In the comparative smoothness
with which the opera moved along.
Tonight the opera will have Its tlrst
public production nt the Frothlngham
nnd Scranton theatre-goers will see
something of a departure from the us
ual lines on w hich comic operas are con
structed and Miss Russell In a role
which gives her ninny advantages. Re
sides those named above the following
from out (f town will be here to see
the first production tonight. Leander
Rlehardson, editor of the Democratic
News; Klaw and Erlangor, of New
York; Al. Hayman and T. Henry
French, New York, and John Peager,
private secretary to the secretary of
the war.
The story of the opera opens at New
port In the height of Its social season,
Is a legitimate source of curiosity for
the uninitiated, and Monte Carlo in tho
full swing of Its gilded gaming and in
trigue, is rie-h In posslMlltl(s that no
playir.nker has yet reflected. This Is
the environment chosen for the new
opera. Prince Schwepps, nn attenuat
ed profligate nnd depleted foreigner,
sojourning In Newport, In an eager aim
to replenish his exchequer by marriage
to a title hunting heiress, succeeds In
trapping Into engagement Mrs. Ga
brille Dalmcnt, a young widow.
The curtain arises .1 the luxuriously
nppolnted estate of Mrs. Dalmont In
Newport ninmst at the hour fixed for
her nuptials. The prince Is watching
the moments anxiously. The hour ar
rives nnd passes. The young widow
does not appear; then It amusingly de
velops that her nonappearance marks
the twelfth time she lias potponed the
We ddlng.
DO NOT INTEREST HER.
None of the illgibles of Newport's
exclusive' are able to even remotely
Int' rest the affections of the young
widow. In Newport, dazzled by her
grace and bcar.ty and anxious to win
without the prejudice of Lis fortune en
title, is the Earl of Reverly. guised ns
a gardner. tn the train of Mrs. Dal
mont, a role which the fair Lillian real
izes. !s Mariam, a confidante. Mariam
discovers the Earl's secret and at once
determines to outwit the cunning and
cupidity of rriiiee Sihwepis. Thi.i
deb nilnatlon Is ventilated before the
first net Is well under way, and thence
the action passes to a curious ball at
Newport. Introducing the widow In an
impulsive and picturesque revelry atop
e.f the pnlanqtiitieel back of an ele
phant, and finally to Its third period
showing Monte Carlo. The play eif
incident is varied, involving: in Its
comic elements a circus manager,
clown and manager's wife, an attendant
of the prince's In one Eobo, nnd the
prince himself.
Pictuvesiue features are found In
the fashionable feting of Mrs. Dal-
mnnt's set a novelty in the circus ball,
and the cosmopolitan fashions found
about Monaco's famous gaming
grounds.
The organization supporting Miss
Russell embraces favorite comic opera
neitnbles. Including among othe-rs, Sus
anna Leonard, George K. Hawley,
Saelle Kirby. Nettie Lyford, Richie
Ling. Jereitne Sykep, William Camer
on, Cnthnrine Llnyard, Owen West-

Mill Accept Nominnlion.
Edward MerriHeld wil today make
known his Intentions regarding the
Democratic nomination for congress.

of Colonel F. J. FItzsimmona and Sena
tor M. E. McDonald is selected to call

form him of his nomination and to
bear with them back to the county
commltte his aceptance or declination.
When asked by a Trlbuno reporter last
night, if he was In a position to indl
cate what his answer would probably
be. Mr. Merritleld replied:
"I am not fully decided, even now.
I must see two or three different men
before I can come to a flnul determina
tion. I will say this, however: I am
averse to going into n political fight.
No one but those who have gone
through a campaign in Lackawanna
county can know what a distasteful
experience It Is. From hearing of It
one niny form some conception of It,
but to realize fully what an unpleas
ant thing It Is. one must actually ex
perience it as I have on two different
occasions. Hut," he added with emphas
is, "if I do gn Into the fight, it will be
with the understanding that I will posi
tively spend no money."

This Time the Kciire Comes by Way
of Wilkes-Barre,
Farly last night a despatch dated
Wilkes-Rarre was received over the
Fnlted Press wires announcing that
Van Horn had been captured there on

to be without foundation.
Scarcely a day hns passed since the
murder but what Van Horn has been
cornered or nt least seen, according to

LARGE CIDER MILL
DESTROYED BY FIRE
Owned by J. W. Frazier, of Jubilee,
Madison Township.
INCENDIARY ORIGIN IS SUSPECTED
Hlackcucd Oil fan Found iu the
Ruins of the MilN-.No Fire Kept in
the Plncu Since 0 O'clock Saturday.
Loss Amounts to S3,000.1!r.
I raiirr Vill Rebuild ut Once.
The village of Jubilee, 15 miles from
here. In this county, and situated mid
way between Moscow and Madisonville
township, was visited by a disastrous
fire at H.20 yesterday morning. J. W.
Frnsler's cider, shingle nnd planing
mill wns destroyed, and it is thought
by the torch of nn Incendiary.
Mr. Frusler suspicion Is based upon
two things: there was no fire kept In
the mill after 6 o'clock Saturday even
ing, nnd a charred nnd burned oil can
which did not belong to him was found
In the ruins.
The mill was built in 1832 nt a cost of
$5,000. It was equippe'd with the latest
lmiroved machinery for that kind of
work, and was In full operation. The
dimensions of the mill were 26 by 90
feet, and its capacity wns 65 barrels of
cleier a day. It was used more as a
cider mill than In the manufacture of
shingles and siding.
In the store house were 100 barrels of
cider nnd as many more of vinegar to
fied the llames. These we're all de
stroyed. Mr. Frasier's home Is not far
away, but it Is distant enough from the
the mill to be out of danger when the
fire was burning. He has orders on
hand for 6S.O00 gallons of cider this
se-nson, but the di'Structlon of his mill
will prevent him from filling them. He,
however, proposes to rebuild as soon as
the ruins are cleared away.
He suspects certain persons of hav
ing lired the mill.

six Inches square; her hands anel fore

small store, the child was seated on the
