THE SCBANTON TBIBtfNE-SATURDAY MORNING. - NOVEMB El 7, 189. SCRANTON SOCIAL " NEWS AND GOSSIP Brief Mentioa of What Is Doioc In the Pleasure Way. DECISIVE GOLF CAME TODAY Third and Odd Uame Bclweeu Scr ion aud Wilkes-Barre Countrv Club Teanis..Unrhrlors' Ball is Being Discussed Even This EurlyPar lies, Weddings aud Other Social Doings of the WeekPersonals. 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 ton team's six players. The other two 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. A prominent party of men and wo men were guests of Judge and Mrs, K. N. Willnrd.

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, II II II The Arlon society Is to be congratu lated In being able to procure the ser vices of Mr. Ilemberger as director. He Is without a doubt one of the most thorough musicians in this part of the state. II I! II Rosenthal, the pianist, will probably appear in our city some time this gea 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."

The Automatic Feeder nnd Folder That Do the Work ni .Many Men and Womeu..V hy Low Prices Arc Pos siblc. 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 TI LEADER 124-126 WycminrAvi . .

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 copies a dcy. AVHh the covers on, the remainln work is that of cutting and trimming. The edition Is then ready for shipment. The llrst section of the finished books is put in the hands of the shipping tierjt nt least ten clays before the day of publication. The shipping clerk takes his mailing list and starts tho bundles of magazines llrst t-i the states most remote In distance. Next day hu sends a shipment to localities next nearer, and so on until the day of pub lication, when the books are delivered in the home city for sale. As a large proportion of the product of a mnchino house is distributed through the med ium of news agencies, the same graded scjile of delivery has to be made bv them. In this way the magazines coma out simultaneously on the same dav in all parts of the United States and Can; ado. khakf.spkaim: ox the stagi- 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 sense to say that what Sir Henry lrv. Ing can do with Impunity may not bf done by any other manger who Is a reverential student of Shakespeare. IK
