One of the Best Entertainments This City Ha Received. Miss Philadelphia Is a very likely sort of a Miss. Scranton fell In love with her at first sight. In the Academy of Music last night. She Is pretty. Man ager Van Osten says her beauty cost 150,000. She is witty Willie Collier is an earnest of that. Her musical abil ity is not her least accomplishment, and that Is saying much for the music and the composer, Herman Perlet. And she has wealth, a rich store of the best things the up-to-dute specialty world .offers. All in all Miss Philadelphia more closely approaches perfection than any other entertainment of her class, seen here, her class being that, at present, universally popular, blend ing of farce, opera and extravaganza. Something the play possesses to the exclusion of its kind is a tale and a moral. The story runneth thus: Will lam Penn, Jr., an up-to date Philadol phian and a direct descendant of the original William has a dream in which he is visited by his ancestor, who, af ter expressing the greatest surprise at the wonderful change that has taken place since he made friends with the Indians, agrees to "do" the town un der the guidance of his very rapid and thoroughly posted descendant. The good old Quaker marvels much at what he sees, hears and experiences and his wonderment serves to show this whlther-are-we-drlftlng nge In a light in which It Is seldom viewed. The moral conies from this holding he mirror up to our times. Willie Collier was never seen here to better advantage than In his role of last night. He Is, when measured by his work ln Miss Philadelphia, a come dian of the first rank. Miss Inez Me cusker, the leading lady, who plays "Ruth Sprlngarden," a Quaker bud. and Miss Louise Allen, as the sensible girl, who Is Collier's first lieutenant in the fun-making, had the audience ut their feet. Then there was Httdd ins3, the famous tramp Impersonator; John Hymans, a versatile comedian; Harry Watson, with specialties, and Joseph Coyne, the "William Penn. sr." who are most aptly placed In the big and excellent cast. Among the scenes presented are the exterfbr of the Union League club, with a glimpse of the Bellevue; the mint, and Wanamnker's store; the corner of Chestnut and Ninth, and Drlnkwator Inn on the Wissahlckon. The company Is composed of one hundred people, six teen of whom compose the ladies' sym phony orchestra. "Miss Philadelphia" will be repeated tonight. Save money. Periodical Tickets, page 4.

Exercise, at the Uonse, the Chnrch and the Grave-.The Assemblage of Mourners Was Ex tremely Large and Contained Many of the City's Most Prominent Men. Five Clergymen Participate in the Services. One of the most distinguished assem blages that ever gathered on the West Side was that which yesterday followed the remains of the late Hon. D. M. Jones to their Inst resting place in the Washburn street cemetery. The judic iary, the bar, the pulpit, men promi ment In political, commercial, and In fact every other elevated walk ln life were in the throng. Lieutenant Ezra S. Griffin Post, 139, G. A. R., of which the deceased was a member, and Colonel Monies Post, ln which he had so many warm friends and admirers, turned out in goodly numbers to do a last honor to their de parted comrade. The West Side bonrd of trade, of which he was an active and Influential member, was repre sented ln the cortege by a large dele gation. The directors of the West Side bank attended ln a body, as did also Hyde Park lodge. No. 306, Knights of Pythias, of which he was a member. VIEWED THE REMAINS. Prom one o'clock until three o'clock an almost continuous stream of people passed through the parlors to take a last look at the remains, which reposed ln a carved onk casket, draped with a silk flag and covered and banked about with beautiful lloral tributes. After a brief service conducted by Rev. J. P. MolTatt, of the Washburn Street Presbyterian church, the re mains were borne from the house to the Welsh Congregntlonnl church on South Main avenue. The pall-beurers wero Hon. H. M. Edwards, Hon. John T. Williams, D. W. Powell. Daniel WL llams and Major E. W. Pearce and A. H. Stevens, of Grlflln Post; Thomas Cnrson and Richard H. Williams, of the Knights of Pythias. The services at Ihe church were con ducted by the pastor.Hev. David Jones; Rev. J. P. MufTatt nnd Rev. E. J. Mor ris. of the Welsh Congregational church, Wilkes-Harre, who was a life long Intimate friend of the deceased. Rev. R. S. Jones, of the Welsh Con gregational church, of Providence, and Rev. Mr. Thomn:.', of Nanticoke, were also present. At the request of the family, the introductory services were conducted in Welsh, Rev. Dnvld Jones officiating. Rev. Mr. Morris preached the funeral sermon in English. DEATH UNEXPECTED. Few of those present, he snld, thought they would attend the funeral of D. M. Jones. None of them believed it would be so soon. The lesson to be learned from this Is that none should feel assured of a long lease of life or that one Is given a right to expect that life will continue year after year until the scriptural three score years and ten are passed. The one Great Teacher has given the command to be ready. He didn't say "Ho about to get ready," or even "Get ready." He said "Be ready." He ready at all times, tho reverend speaker counseled. We justify our selves to ourselves for not getting ready. We say how can we In the midst of life think of death? Each of u3 rath er thinks of getting ready than of be ing ready. He then read the fifth verse of the thirty-first Psalm: "Into thy hands I commit my spirit. Thou hast re deemed me, O Lord God of Truth!" That ia the preparation for death which we want, he said. We should lie all able to use hose words ffnt merely ub a quotation from the psalms, but as an outpouring from the heart. They were not the words of a dying man, but one in the midst of life and strength. From this he pointed out that we have a spiritual I if.) in Time as well as in Eternity nnd that our secular life Is arranged in subserviency to our spirit ual life; that there Is but one end for man and our every act must tend to wards that end as God Is not a double dealer. FITTING TRIBUTE. . He closed with a fitting tribute to the worth of the deceased and the prayer that He who hod led the de parted durins such a life of activity would succor and ever watch over those from whom He has taken him. A prayer by Rev. Mr. Moffatt concluded the ser vices at the church. Congregational singing interspersed the praying and preaching. The casket was opened In order that those who had not been able to view the remains at the house mlsht do so before they wore forever confined to the earth. Then the cortege re-formed and proceeded to Washburn street cemetery where the Grand Army men and the Pythlans conducted their re spective ritualistic burial services. theatre tickets free page 4. SHE CHANGES HER MIND. Polish Girl a Party in Three Different Marriage License Transactions. "How-do-you-do?" said Deputy Clerk of the Courts Emil Bonn lo Miss Julia Lorz, as she led the wuv into riie marriage license room yesterday after noon, accompanied by a bashful young man who afterward gave his name as Louis Dombroskey, of Wilkes-Harre, and his occupation that of a clerk. "I don't know who you are young man." she replied In a not very gracious mood at all. She did not want her com panion to know that she had been to the court house before. An examina tion of tbe license docket showed that this wns the third time Julia was there for a license since the 5th of the pres ent month and each time she had a different young man with her. First she came on the llflh and was accompanied by William Surnoskl. They gave their residence as Lacka wanna township. William had tears In his eyes when he got the license and told Mr. Bonn he was engaged to an other girl before that, but she turned him dwn. He was tellinir how good Julia was to take him after he loved another, and he nrsured her there that his love for the former one was dead and his heart was all hers. His happiness was of short duration, for on the ninth she came with Stanley Kuskewlcs and rot a license. This time the place of residence given by both was Dickson City. Yesterday she came with Mr. Dambroskey. He lives In Wilkes-Barre, and she said she lives In Scranton. She became very Indig nant when Mr. Bonn pressed his ques tions about her former trips to tho of fice. , HOMEOPATHS MEET TODAY. Members of Interstate Association Will Gather in Public Library Hall.
