TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES, "Tess of the D'Urbeivllles," with Min nie Maildern Plshc lu the title lolc, had Its Hist Sctanton piesentulion at the Lncouiii last night. The drama Is a somewhat flee dramatization of Thomus Hindi's ncnel of tho same name, which, during the last few years has been al ternately praised as the acme of realism at Its best, und cqndemned as u most pernicious piece of literature. Whatever may be the opinion of critics concern ing the novel, there Is no gainsaying that I.oilmer Stoddnrd hns most delicate ly udaptcd It to the needs of the stage. He has ptesened the ltal, diamatlc Inci dents of the storv. und presented them with great vividness and skllfullness. Mrs. riske was the living, breathing, thoioughly human being, the brain of tho novelist gave to literature In her physi cal aspect she is nut the Tess of Thom as Hardy, but In her power to realize the complex nature nnd feel the woes and emotions that swuyed the unhappy Kngllsh girl. Mrs. Plske Is tiuly the Tens of the novelist. Prom her the henrt nffeetlng soriow of the story receives a new und Impnsslve meaning. The story deals with the Individual life, unhappily nnd unfortunately situated, and lelent lcsly conducted to n fatal Issue She makes this haul unlovely Hie an appeal for a broader sympathy und more hu manlt In dealing with the weak and en lug. She holds up for nbhorance the sociu! conditions which punish with a mKeiy woise than death the lapses of nn erring sister nnd readily forgive the same offen-es In lie! strong, s-elf-rellunt broth er It was the nnvelKt and ilium.Ulst who shaped the stuge pioductloii and Im planted tho morul In It. but without a Mrs,. Flske to Intel pret It the drumu would bo u problem play of an oidlnary character. It Is her womanliness, nnd the Intense leallsm of her eveiy word and gestuie that rescue "Tess of the D'Ui benllles," from the oidlnary, and makes it at once the most tense und fascinating of lecent draniutie offerings. Mrs. Plske does not belong to the con ventional school of nctress. She has stud ied nature and simulates the real wondei fully well Tin, Hist stiong scene Is lu the second act, where she confesses her wiong-dolng to the man alio mar ried a few hours befoie It Is u recital not euslly banished trom the mind, yet Wholly devoid of theatrical clup-tlap. Agulu In the last act when bhe Is liv ing with Alec D'Prbenille und the ut ter weariness of life has oertakeu her. her (listless Is manifest lu every look and woid, und even her cairlngo Is elo quent of the fact that life stretches in a hopeless, uninviting vista before her. Then the husband she thought dead re appears and n dumb honor seizes her. It is minutes before she can speak und then her voice Is lionise and stiunge. It is not the volco of Tess, but of u strange cieatuie that woe nnd deceit havo comeited her Into Hei husband leaves her agulu, und her loei's bitter, saicabtlc laugh assails her ear. Tliut laugh seals his doom It Is letilbutlon, possibly exact Justice, but It Is terrible to contemplate When Tess emerges from the loom of the man she sold her self to, It needs not the blood-stained knlfo to tell the deed she has done; it Is told In tho hoarse bieuthlng and the al most total physical collapse that has fol lowed. It was u tine climax to the pre ceding effoits of the actress. . Mrs. liske'B support wus w 01 thy of her.

TUB CUMBERLAND HOSE HOUSE Mndo (ho Subject .til ti Special Itc port by Health Olllccr Alloif-Dr. llontlr Sns Thcro la So Politico In tnoMntlcrSn 1'nr its tho 11 until Is CoiicarnciW-Ati mutt ltcpurt ori'ood and Milk Imppctor Ciillcn. The board of health held Its meet ing last evening In the city h'all. lle portii of the several eletinitmcnts were made by their lespocttve officers and I'll motion the board decided to meet next Satmday afternoon at n o'clock to prepaie an estimate for the present years' expenses. One of the Items In tho forthcoming estlnintj will be for the employment of nn olllcer to assist Sanitary Officer W. H. Buike In his work. This will be consequent to the suggestion made by Health Olllcer W. K. Allen, at the meeting lust night. The board nlso discussed the Cum betland hose house matter. Secretary It. J. Murray, It will be remembeiod. sent a communication to councils lliientonltig, that if the hose house, located on Maiket street, North Scran ton, was not ienoated, tho board would authorize Its oflloer to demol ish the building." Councils sent hack Secrelaiy Mur ray's letter, simply "referring it to the board of health." Meanwhile Health Olllcer Allen h'atl Inspected the prem ises of the lioso house. The lesult of tho inspection Is made Known In Health Oincor Allen's .ecort ns follows: HHALTH OFFICER'S HEPOBT. Scranton. Jan. a, 1S9S. Membets ot the Boaid of Health. Gentlemen: The reports of tho secre taiy nnd of the sanltnry olllcer for tho past month indicate a ciy satisfactory stuto of affairs, ns much so as couhf pos sibly be cxnected under puscnt condi tions. Aciordlng to instructions from the boaid I Inspected the Cumberiutid hose house on West Market street and found the building clean and of Itself lu a fair sanitary state. The house Is 11 (heap structure, having a 100m tor tho hose cairlase on the first floor and one above, or upstairs, for the men. The stable opens dire 'tly into the card ige room and the manuie is piled up nt the war of the stable. The drainage fiom tho side hill nn tho west pcicola'es tluough the lranuro heap und tuns under the floor through 1111 open drain and Is discharged Into the gutter u shoit dls tnnce below. As a mutter ot course there Is 11 strong smell of stabe ummonla throughout tho whole structure, which cannot be ery wholesome und nurely is nnythlng but agreeable. The horse may be nb'e to stand it, nnd the hose cait may not weaken, but 1 do not think m"n should bo asked to inhale such odors for imv length ol time. The only remedy for this would be to have the stable furthei away and a sewer pipe put tluough the lot. In the enily spring the kept over and fiozen gurbnge will be painfully In evi dence and I think It would be well If tho boaid would give the matter attention, nnd, If possible, devise some belter means than we have now for collecting it. I went to L.ikewood. V. J., during Inst month to hear Mr Rudolph Herring ad dress the "State Sanitary Association of New Jersey" on the subject of gaibuge, but ony learned that in some cities gar bage wus but nod and In others destroyed chenileally and both -were good I trav eled around New York with Mr. Dunning and saw how to save waste paper and old shoes, but 1 did not find out how we are going to collect our gaibage. It be comes more apparent every month that an Inspector of plumblr.g lb greatly need ed. If the appropriation for the board of health could be slightly Increased so that a man mlcht bo hlied to placard houses, watch funerals and ptoperly fumigate all Infected premises a Mist amount of good would, I am suie. be re compllshed (Signed) W H Alien Health Olllcer. OTHEK THINGS DISCUSSED. Afterward Health Olllcer Allen dis cussed In detail the matters mentioned In his repoit. The addre&s of Mr. Her ring on "Garbage" he pionounceel a disappointment. Nothing had been gained of value to the boaid. The employment of an assistant to Sanl tnry Officer Buike he thought was Im perative. In legaul to the Cumberland Hose house, Dr. J. K. Bently, who pre sided, suggested the Idea that the mat ter wns not one of politics, as coun cils take it. "The board of health has nothing to do with politics," said Dr. Bently. "I have heaul that the com pany Is maintained in the quartets be cause of the owner of the building who lecelveu rental fiom the city." It was decided to lnstiuct the health otlicers to eonler with the chief of the flie depaitment, with a view of Im piovlng tle quaiteis. The matter ot an extra sanltniy officer will be dis cussed at the meeting Saturday after noon. Sanltaiy Officer Buike reported the candy stole kept by John It. Kel ley, on Third street, Dodgetow 11, where the children of the house aie afflicted with a terrible disease. The case was noticed in The Tribune last week. The sanltaiy olllcer was instiucted to act as the inse demanded. The candy will be confiscated. The annual tepott of Milk and Food Inspector T. N.

FOOD INSPHtTrOB'R COMMENT. Inspector Cullen uccompanled his le poit with the following ternaries: I tako pleasure In certlfing to the In creasing sentiment of dealers in perish able goods and to abide by the tsenltary regulations prescribed by the board. Theie werg few cases during the year In which I was not treated with tho ut most courtesy. I desire also to thank the mayor, members of the bouul, and ofllcers, for extending to mo every en couiugeniont and uld In the petforinauco of my duties. I cuunot too strongly Impress upon the board tho Impartunce of the appointment of a city chemist us soon as the finances of the city will permit, We have excel lent devices for determining tho speeitin gravity and the percentage of butter fat In milk, but 110 devise can determine the actual quality ot milk. A chemical an alysis Is the only sure test, and there should be no doubt about the purity of un article so generally used as food.

ALBERT LEWIS ALSO A CANDIDATE Ho tins n Strong following nnd I.nst Night tho Hotting Wat That Mayor llnlloy Would Send His Appoint ment to tho Select Council Tonight. Tight for Permanent .linn of tho Columbia Company Hns Been Compromised. Theie is a lively fight on for tho position of district engineer of the Fire, department for West Scranton, which will be made vacant by tho resignation of Frederick AVnrnko, who on Monday entered upon his duties as recorder ot deeds of Lackawanna county. He can not also fill the office of district en gineer, because there Is a salary con nected with it, and his leslgnatlon as an assistant Are chief will be read nt tonight's meeting of select council. It Is probable that Mayor Bailey will name Mr. Warnke's successor tonight. There are two candidates for the office, Albert Lewis nnd Henty Klngsley. Both are membeis of the Columbia company, Mr. Lewis being an ex-foreman. Mr. Wninke Is a member of the same company and he Is urging the appointment of Mr. Klngsley. This, however, will not be sufficient to in sure his selection, for Mr. Lewis Is much icspected In flic-fighting circles nnd has many friends who ure urging the mayor to appoint him. Last night the betting at the Coluni bin Hose house was In favor of Mr. Lewis' appointment. Tho light for the position of addi tional Permanent ninn of the Colum bia company has been settled and to night Mayor Bailey will nominate Ed Ward Pothiick for the position, He Is now on duty fnmlllniizlng himself with the duties thnt will devolve upon him. George AV. Myers, the present per manent,mnn, will heieafter act as en gineer of the chemlcnl engine, and Mr. Pethrick will be driver. Louis Parry was also a candidate for the position of permanent man and mndo a strong bid for the position, A compromise was ni ranged between his friends and those of Mr. Pethrick by which Mr. Parry Is to receive the appointment ns third permanent man of the company. To properly handle the chemical en gine and give good service it will be necessary to have three permanent men In the Columbia house. A strong elfort will be made to have councils mnke piovislons for u third permanent mun.
