That men are quite an useful if not
a necessary adjunct in social matters
is a generally accepted fact, but the
truth of it was made plain during the
present week. The men were so en
grossed In the election and tlien us re
sults that little or no social matters of
any kind were attempted, and if at
tempted would probably have met with
not more than Indifferent success. There
might have been some affairs in which
women only could have participated,
but the fact that there was nothing is
nn indication that women, as well as
the sterner sex, have been somewhat
occupied with the political questions at
Issue.
a
Many are beginning to look forward
even this early to the Bachelors' ball,
which this vcar will be clven on New
Year's night, "Better than ever be
fore" has been true or cuen of these
magnificent dances and an idea ot ne
excellence of the one now approaching
may be inferred from the determination
of its manager to have it in splendor,
arrangement and all else better than
any of Its predecessors. It is under
stood there is to be some pronounced
departures in the way of music and
supper, but concerning these the Bach
elor ofilcers are non-connnuuicative tit
present.
Before the toss to elooiib' where the
third and odd game of golf between the
Scranton and Wilkes-Burre country
club teams should be played, it was
agreed between the captains that there
should be no nttemnt made to provide
lunch nor should there be nny other
form of entertainment provided. Svi
this afternoon's game, the linal one in
the match, will witness little else be
sides the game itself und a large gath
ering of society folk. But the game and
the gathering will be more than little.
Wilkes-Barre won the llrst game by 9
holes up and iScranton the second ny t
boles tip, so it is an even chance on this
afternoon's result. There will probably
be a large constituency with the visit
ing team. Play will be called at 1.30
o'clock.- Captain T. H. Watkins. 1 1. 1.
Simpson, John lirooks and F. C. Fuller
will undoubtedly be four of the Scran

will be chosen from among Messrs.
Atherton, A. E. Hunt, Jr., Stilwell and
Manville. P. H. Jermyn, who it was
supposed would be one of the team, will
be out of town today.

Why the Gallant Young Officer Had
His Horses Put 1'p nnd Was Late
in Reaching Williamsburg.
From Harper's Magazine:
On a May day in 1758, as he spurred
upon the way to Williamsburg, under
orders from the frontier, Washington
rodo straight upon an adventuro he
had not looked for. He was within a
few hours' ride of the little capital; old
plantations lay cIobo upon the way;
neighborly homes began to multlnlv:
and so striking a horseman, riding unl-
lormed ana attended, could not there
abouts go far unrecognized. He was
waylaid and haled to dinner, despite
excuses and protests of public business
calling for dispatch. There was a
charming woman to be seen at the
house, his friend told him, If a good
dinner was not argument enough and
his business could not spoil for an
hour's stay In agreeable company. And
Bo.of a sudden, under constraint of Vir
ginian hospitality, he was hurried Into
the presence or the gracious young
matron, who was at once, and as if of
right, to make his heart safe ugainst
further quest of adventure. Martha
Custis was but six-and-twenty. To
the charm of youth and beauty were
added that touch of quiet sweetness
and that winning grace of self-possession
which come to a woman wived in
her girlhood, and widowed before age
or care has checked the first full tide
of life," At seventeen she had married
Daniel Park Custis. a man more than
twenty years her senior; but eight years
of quiet love and duty as wife and
mother had only made her youth the
more gracious in that rural land of leis
ure and good neighborhood; and a
year's widowhood had been but a suit
able preparation for perceiving the
chnrm of this stately young soldier
who now came riding her way upon the
public business. His age was her own;
all the land knew him and loved him
for gallantry and brave capacity; he
carried himself like a prince and he
forgot his errand to linger in her com
pany. Dinner was soon over, and his
horses at the door; there was the drill
ed and dutiful Bishop, trained servant
that he was, leading his restless and
impatient charge back and forth with
in sight of the windows and the ter
race where his young colonel tarried,
absorbed and forgetful: man and
beast alike had been in the service of
the unhappy Braddock. and might seem
to walk there lively memorials of duty
done and undertaken. But dusk came;
the horses were put up; and the next
morning was well advanced before the
abstracted young ollicer got at last to
his saddle and spurred on bcluted to
Williamsburg.
MUSICAL GOSSIP.
To those who claim to be In touch
with all things musical, nnd even with
the gift of understanding the divine art,
it must be a great pleasure to look for
ward to such a conceit as will be given
next Monday. Nov. it, at the Frothlng
ham. A most delightful programme
has been arranged, nnd contains such
names as Bach, Beethoven, Schunian,
Saint Saens and other great masters.
Not the least attractive number will be
the piano solos of Chopin and Schunian,
rendered by Mr. Pennington, and also
the ensemble playing of that gentle
man with Mr. Thiele. Mr. Thiele will
play the grand and stately nir by Bach,
which is played only on the Q string,
and was arranged and made popular in
this country by the great violinist Wil
helm, and the wild and weird "Gipsy
Dances" of Sarasate. Mr. Thiele will
use his favorite violin, a Lupot, nn In
strument of exceptionally mellow tone,
and a violin well known to New York
connoisseurs. As to the Fingers, what
more can be said than that both Airs.
Thiele and Allss Timberntan have sung
In the largest cities with the most de
serving success and that the press,
wherever they pleased to be heard,
spoke of them in the most Mattering
terms. One would lie obliged to travel
far, Indeed, to tind four musicians who
could excel this lucky clover leaf of ar
tists, and Scranton can be justly proud
of having such an extraordinary com
bination of talent.
:i ii i!
Circulars have been given out already
announcing the three concerts of the
Symphony Orchestra society for the
season of '90 and '97, which will be held
in tho Frothinghnm. The dates of the
concerts are: First, !ld of December;
second, Stli of February; third, loth of
April. A season tVtet can be pur
chased for $3.u0. This entitles the hold
er to six admissions, two for each con
cert. Single admissions will be 75 cents
nnd $1.00. The programme for the llrst
concert includes nn ocrture by Air.
Hoelche, a personal friend of Conductor
Theodore Hcmbergcr. The name of the
overture is "Judith," and Is constructed
nfter the Bible story. The other num
bers are two strong pieces for a string
orchestra; third piano concerto by
Beethoven, with full orchestral accom
paniment, Mr. Conant presiding at the
piano; Fortieth Symphony by Mozart;
Coronation march, from the Prophet, by
Meyerbeer, and the rollicking wild Ko
mcrinskaja, peasant music, by Glinka.
The soloist for the llrst concert has not
yet been secured. About thirty of the
most prominent ladies of Scranton arc
to be the patronesses of the Symphony
society this season. These concerts,
together with the Chamber concerts,
will be the muslcatsocioty events of the
season. Ezra II. Ripple is the president
of tho Symphony society; Robert T.
Adams, secretary, and Theodore Hem
bcrger, conductor
II II II
The people of Scranton should take;
great interest in the coming concert by
AInrtlnus Llcveking, the great Dutch
pianist, and David Rispham, tho fa
mous London baritone. They eac h rank
at the top. Air. Llcveking is meeting
with the greatest success in New Eng
land and cannot be recommended too
highly, while Air. Bisphnm is one ot the
leading artists on the operatic stage,
and receives a good round sum for every
appearance.
!! H "
12th of this month, next Thursday
evening. Professor Weiss, of New York,
will be the soloist. It has been rumored
that Professor Weiss would at some
future time locate permanently in
Scranton. Mr. Weiss, It is said. Is u
man of charming personality, hand
some and affable, nnd would doubtless
make many friends in musical circles of
Scranton,

The Arlon society Is to be congratu

styi. SHORT STORIES.
Lord Tentcrden one day, at his own
table, asked a county magistrate if he
would take venison. "Thank yuu, my
lord, boiled chicken," wa the reply. His
lordship hud contracted un inveterate
habit of keeping himself and everybody
else to the precise matter In hand. "That,
sir," said the judge, "is no answer to my
cniestlon. 1 now ask you again If you w ill
take venison, anil I will trouble you to
say yes or no without further prcvuricu
tion." fireat rocks now barred the passage of
Hannibal and his army ucross the Alps.
"We will split those rocks," announced
Hannibal, "by healing them redhot and
pouring vinegar upon them." "It mig.it
be done, general," said his chief of en
gineers, dubiously, "but It will take mill
ions of gallons of vinegar. Where are we
to get if.'" "That." replied the great
Carthaginian general, eyeing him coldly,
"wo will leave to the writers of future
school histories to explain."
The Into Lord Leighton, president of
the Koyul academy, posed a Admirable
Crlchton. He was a sculptor, musician,
orator, society man, and he spoke four
languages, but he had excellent reason to
dislike Whistler. It seems the author of
"The Hemic Art of Making Enemies'' had
listened patiently to a friend's recital of
all Leightou's gifts and accomplishments,
and capped the list with the remark, in
his Inimitable, strident drawl: "Yces, he
paints a little, too, doesn't he?"
"Eddie" Farrell, a San Franciscan poll
ticiaii, whose death was announced this
week, was nt one time employed in the
mint "a suicide job," he called It, "at S
a day." He would enter a saloon, and, ot
ter a simulated spell of coughing, would
put his hand to his mouth und show to
the astonished bystanders a small gold
nugget. He always carried It with him.
Then, with a sigh, he would remark:
"Aly lungs are all coated with gold from
working in the mint. It's a regular sui
cide Job."
Three drummers sat In n. Broadway ca
ble car the other day telling stories. The
conversation had run to tales of railroad
accidents, and two of the men had tuld
of several narrow escapes they had had.
The third was silent for a moment, and
then he took up the thread of the conver
sation. "While up the state yesterday,"
he said, "I jumped from the Empire ex
press while It was flying along at sixty
odd miles an hour." Then he stopped and
watched the effect of his statement. "You
jumped from the Empire express?" In
quired the other two drumm ir, I In uni
son. "Yes, sir," replied the otber. And
then added: "I -waa on the track when I
made the jump."

From the Now York Tribune.
To judge from the appearance of the
newa-stands of the day one would be
led to suy that there wus no limit to
the magazines published In the United
Slates. A few years ago the monthly
publications could almost be count
ed upon the lingers of one hand,
while ut the present time tho
number of publications enn be reck
by the score. Five years ago GO
cents was charged and willingly paid
lor nn illustrated monthly. Today
many are sold for 10 cents. Many a
person has excluimed In surprise
when going over the page's of such
publications, "How can they do It for
the price and make money?""
The answer may bo found In the
words "advertisements" and "labor
saving machinery." Such hns been
the marvellous developnienHn the pro
cesses used for producing a magazine
In the Inst five years, more especially
In the substitution of nvchnnical de
vices for hand labor, that one has not
Ion;; to puzzle over the problem of tho
clieup monthly, and It may safely bo
mentioned that this problem has both
ered the minds of nnt a few persons
v. ho buy and read this kind of litera
ture. It Is estimated that under present
methods it costs the publisher just
about the price he charges to put out
bis product. This puts the advertis
ing into the "velvet" column; and
when It Is known thnt the prices
charged a page for a single issue aver
age about :'0(, sumo Idea may be ob
tained of the prollts made from the
blisini?ss.
INSIDE DETAILS.
How nre the great editions of mod
ern magazines, in several cases as
much as ItiO.OiiO for each issue, gotten
out? Passing over brielly the reading
matter and Illustrations, which are ob
tained by means too well known to
need description, and also passing over
the setting up of the type, which is
done partly by hand and partly by lin
otype innchines, also the making-tip of
the forms, which hns no particular in
terest or novelty, the visitor in an up-to-date
magazine plant will find his In
terest lire aroused by the presses used
in printing. These are of two kinds
the rotary perfecting press, In which
the paper Is fed from a roll similar to
the kind used In big newspaper offic
es, and the llat-feeder presses. As the
work required by n magazine is some
what dlfierent from that of a news
paper, the speed at which a rotary per
fecting press is run is much less. The
advertising und plain text forms are
run thrciu!rh this press at the rate of
6,(iii0 sheets an hour, each sheet con
taining sixty-four pages.
The cuts and Ualf-tones. which have
lo be printed on clay-coated and cal
endered paper, und which require
great care nnd attention, are rim
through on the flatbed presses, being
fed one- sheet nt a time. The paper re
quired for thl3 kind of work Is of such
u grade that It cannot be put up In
lolls. There Is used nt the present
time, In connection with these llatbed
presses, a marvellous automatic me
chanical device, known as a paper
feeder, which, by doing the work once
clone by hand feeders, not only saves
their wages, but. bv Increasing the
output of the machine's to which they
nre attached (in many case's doubling
their capacity), enubles the user to
make a much larger prnlit on each ma
chine. Its speed is Hmltcd only by
the enpacity of the machine, nnd, as
Is well known, recent Improvements
in cylinder presses enable I hem t'i be
run at n rreater rate of soeed than
they can tie fed by hand. Tin auto
matic feeder thus meets the demand
of recent advances in Cylinder presses.
Recent improvements prevent abso
lutely more thnn one sheet being fed
at a time, nnd should It miss folding a
sheet from any cause, it automatically
slops the press nnd Informs the at
tendant by ringing a bell. The auto
matic feeder Is really a wonder.
WuNDERFCL FOLDING MACHINE.
From the presses the paper Is carried
on trucks to the folding machines nnd
loaded, in lots of from ti,0"0 to 8,00)
sheets at a time, on the platforms of
tiie automatic feeders attached there
to. These folding machines form the
second exhibit of wonderful labor
saving devices, folding machines
with automatic feeders do today work
which would have required ten fold
in machines five years ago. and which,
ten years ago, was done almost entire
ly by hnnd. The feeders deliver the
k printed sheets to the folding machines
nt the rate of 3,000 an hour. 1 lie unit
ing machines are of three or four dif
ferent makes, nnd do their work in
different ways. One is known as a
quadruple folder, another as a double.
tixleen folder, nnd another ns a four-,
rl'-'hl folder. The quadruple folder
takes the sheets ns delivered by the
feeder and folds the sixty-four pages,
cutting nnd delivering the same In four
peparatc sections of sixteen pages each.
The doilblc-sixteen folder takes the
tiav-coated sheets with the cuts, con
sisting of thirty-two pages, cuts, folds
nnd delivers the same In two sections
of sixteen pates each; nnd so on with
the other styles of folders. This work
of folding and cutting is nil done by
the machines. An attendant only is
necessury to see that the work is go
ing on ns It should be.
From the folding machines the sheets
are taken to a hydraulic press, where
they are sulje;c led to a pressure of
70.000 pounds, nnd while under this
pressure they are tied up with ropes,
making bundles of a uniform size and
thickness. This process fakes out of
the paper any embossing Imparted In
passing through the presses; it also
compresses the paper for convenience
In handling through the subsequent
stage-8 of the work. These bundles are
made with refere nee to the number of
pages as they will appear in the maga
zine, viz., one bundle will contain
pages from 1 to 10, another pages from
17 to 32, and so on. Next they are
opened and laid upon large tallies at
which girls are working, taking sec
tions from each bundle until the full
book is gathered together. This work
is all done by hand, the girls being paid
by tho piece. From practice, they come
to work with great rapidity.
PUTTING ON THE COVERS.
After the sheets have been gathered
Into a complete book, they are stitched
by machines and passed on to the cov
er machine, which forms another Im
portant, if not the most important, ex
hibit among all the other machines.
This cover machine puts the covers on
the magazine at the rate of 2o,000 In

every ten hours, and requires but two
uttendunts, one to load on the books
and the other to take them on when
covered. Tln machine is twelve fuel,
long. It has a double set of largo
wheels at each end, around which runs
nn endless chain, having sted grips ut.
measured Intervals. The books are fed
into a shoot at one side, and when the
machine Is In action the books uro let
down, one at n time, to be seized by
one of the grips, hurried along, first
passing over a wheel which rubs glue
mi the back, to the covers, which aro
on n platform underneath. As each
book with the siue on Its back cornea
along, the pile of covers is pressed up
against the book, which then passes
nlong with a cover fastened to it. As
it revolves and reaches the top of tho
machine there are iron pressors which
come down on the cover nnd press it
more tightly to the book. By one
mure device tli coyer Is made to lit th
book completely; and the work, fin
islied, droi's out into a receiver, from
which a girl takes It nnd puts It up
into piles. This work was done entire
ly by hand before the introduction of
this machine. Scon s of girls were em
ployed, and the labor cost of this work
was large. Not only Is the cost of
labor now saved hy the automatic coy.
er machine, but the capacity Is In
creased. In 'be plant of MeClure's
Magazine, which uses one of these ma
chines, it la said the output is 30,0'0

The Plays of the Immortal Drniiintisl
Must Up rnrcfulty F.ditcd.
From London Truth.
Whv did Browning. Tennyson, Swin
burne. Matthew Arnold, nnd others)
devoted to the theater fail as dramat
ists? Because tlnv thought only of
literature unci disdained to study the
art of dramatic construction. Lord
Tennyson wotihl never have succeeeled
on the stage If his work had not been
take n in hand by Sir Henry li ving and
Augustin Daly, both practical men, and
Shakespeare himself would not suc
ceed on nny English stage of today if
his plays were not fashioned for the?
stage by practical managers.
And yet there nre people Idlotlo
enough to talk about the vandalism
and the atrociously bad taste of touch
ing one word or syllable of Shakes
pi'are, when they know that every
Shakespearean production by Charles
Kean nnd Irving wns most carefully
and judiciously edited for the stage.
Do these Intemperate writers want nn
example? Let them look at the Ly
ceum acting edition of "Much Ado
About Nothing." What has become of
poor Dogberry, I should like to know 2
Cut down to nothing.
With Shakespeare, it must be either
a case of cfttting or no Shakespeare
for the stage. Do these foolish writers
Imagine that "Cymbeline" will not lee
altered for the Lyceum stage next au
tumn? Of course It will, or it would
fail to nttract any one. And it is non
