Long before the hour set for the af
fair to becln the seating capacity of

room.
The gathering was called to order by

CONCLAVE OF

IN SCRANTON
BICYCLE CLUB
Scranton Con
clave, No. 117, Im
proved Order of
Heptasophs, held
Its twelfth annual
banquet last night.
The Scranton Bi
cycle club house
was tho scene of
the festivities nnd
they wero unques
tionably the most
.nlnvnlilnnvnr fan-
ducted under tho society's auspices.
As Is their custom, tho Heptasophs
wero accompanied by their lady friends.
Some little disturbance to the pre
scribed programme was occasioned by
the fact that the attendance exceeded
expectations, but this did not in any
way interfere with Its enjoyment, If
Indeed It did not add to It, because of
Its novelty. It was proposed to have
the banquet and speeches In the dining
hall and then follow with a hop in the
dancing hall. The dining hall, however,
would not accommodate all at one time,
so it was urranged that there should
be two sittings and then nil should
congregate In the dance hall to hear
the speechmaklng. While the flist
table was being served the people down
stairs danced to the music that enliv
ened tho dinner and then those who
sat at tho first table followed the same
programme while waiting for the de
layed diners. Rev. Foster U. Gift made
the opening Invocation.
The menu card contained the follow
ing promises, which were amply ful
filled by Caterer Joseph Curt:
Bluo Points on Half Shell.
Roasts.
Vermont Turkey. Cranberry Sauce.
Philadelphia Capon.
Baked Ham. Ribs of Beer.
Salad.
Chicken Mayonnaise
Potato.
Desert.
French Ice Cream. Fancy Cakes.
Fruits. Coffee. Nuts.
At 11 o'clock, when the Inner man
had been satisfied and all had assem
bled In tho spacious dancing hall, Dr.
James Stein, archon, with a few timely
remarks, opened the post-prandial ex
ercises. There were delightful vocal lumbers
by John T. Watklns and Miss Annette
Reynolds, both being encored, and by
Miss Bessie Posner, a pupil of Miss
Reynolds, who was liberally applaud
ed but declined to respond to an en
core, It being her first public appear
ance. Toasts wero responded to by J. S.
Miller, who spoke of the "Order of Hep
tasophs;" D. T. Yost, whose subject
was "Social Fraternity;" II. E. Paine,
who dealt with "The Ladles," and City
Solicitor M. A. McGinley, who had "Our
City" for a subject. 'Mr. Miller, dur
ing the course of his remarks, made
the statement that there aro over one
thousand Heptasophs in the city of
Scranton.
Selections by Bauer's orchestra In
terspersed the programme. When it
was concluded several hours of danc
ing was indulged In.
The committee in charge of the ar
rangements consisted of Dr. James
Stein, Justin Slgilst and G. F. Weeks.
The reception committee was com
posed of Mis. J. H. Hopkins. Mrs. II.

ROYAL
ARCANUM
AND
P. O. S. OF A.
Scranton council,
No. 933, Royal Ar
canum, met in so
cial session last
evening In their
hall on Wyoming
avenue. Several
hundred gentlemen, some of whom
were from brother lodges, enjoyed tho
evening's entertainment and banquet.
Previous to these a business meet
ing of tho lodge was held. The mem
bers then repaired to the spacious ban
quet hall on the higher floor and sat at
tho banquet. During tho progress of
the supper, music was furnished by a
quartette of colored singers and a
graphaphono operated by William
Gramp.
The post-prandlal speeches were
made by Attorney A. J. Colborn, on the
subject of "Brotherhood," Victor
Luuer, repiescntlng Lackawanna lodge,
No. 1133, AVest Scianton; P. J. McCaf
frey, grand regent; A. L. Collins,
Thomas Welsh, and other members of
tho order present. D. E. Nceld was
toastmnster.
The supper was served by a corps

Cateter John McCnbe.
Camp 175, Patriotic Order Sons of

popular Harwood Mandolin and Guitar
club. 'Miss Cora Murdock, recitations;

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
The Girl from Paris.
That chic, bewitching "Girl from Paris"
made her becond appearance of tho m-u-ton
In this city lat,t night. Tho Lyceum
was the bcena of her triumph, lor she lld
aehlevo a triumph if tho fervor of tho
applause that greeted her und her com
patriots Is any criterion by which to
Judge. And. by-thc-by, one of these belr
same compatriots is a fellow of inllnlto
Jest and irresistible humor. His name Is
James Sullivan, and he was assigned tho
lolo of Hans, proprietor or n hotel at a
German health resort. His make-up and
his dialect were works of high art ami ho
was besides tho most unobtrusively tun
ny individual that has trod tho boards of
tho Lyceum for several moons. One can
forgivo tho naughty winks aud wicked
posing of "Tho Girl from Paris" for tho
sake of Sullivan. 'Tis a pity ho shines
during one act only.
Tho "Girl" was impersonated by Miss
OUvo Redpath, who is beautiful and
clover, a combination as desirable as It is
rare. Her work is marked by more deli
cacy and reseno than that of homo of
tho other young women who have es
sayed tho titlo role, but It must not be
surmised from this that she makes tho
giddy Parlslenne a modest Sunday school
maiden or anything closely related to
her. She merely tried to make Mile. Julio
Bon-Bon a llttlo moro sane and clrcum
bpect than some of the others who had
tho Interpretation of the churacter in
trusted to them.
Mlt.s Cherldah Simpson deserves llrst
placo among the vocalists of the com
pany ns surely as Sullivan does among
the comedians. She Is not pretty but she
Is graceful und when sho sings well you
forget that she is not exactly beautiful.
Tho company throughout was composed
of excellent material. Besides thoso men
tioned above some of the members who
deserve bpeclal mention In tho order
named aro Alexander Clark, Frank
Smlthson, Nick Long. Phoebo Coyno,
Benjamin Howard nnd Edward Chapman.
Sprightly music, beautiful costumes and
a largo chorus were features of tho per
formance. .All of the scenery Is carried
by the company. That used in the sec
ond act Is a particularly lino bpecimen
ot the hccnlc artists' skill.
Tho Dencon's Dntightrr.
A very entertaining musical comedy is
"Tho Deacon's Daughter," which was
seen at the Academy of Music last night
before a good blzed audience. It Is a com
edy in which tho luto Annie Pixley met
wltli great success. This buccess has been
duplicated by Miss Kennedy, who has
been starring In It for tho last two sea
sons. Tho costuming of tho piece Is ex
ceptionally line and It Is ulso btuged In
an excellent manner.
Altogether "The Deacon's Daughter" Is
much better than the average theatrical
production given at popular prices. Tho
comedy Is In four acts during which
Miss Kennedy Is soen in a number of
entertaining, up-to-date specialties. Her
brother, James Kennedy, usslsts her In
some of thorn. The company supporting
Miss Kennedy Is very evenly balanced
and very competent and a well-rounded,
thoroughly enjoyablo entertulnment is
given In vyhlch there are no bare spots.
"The Deacon's Daughter" will be repeat
ed this und tomorrow afternoons and
evenings ut the Academy.
KhPB Tomorrow Night.
At tho Lyceum tomorrow night Rhea
will appear in a play of great historical
Interest. Its title la "Napoleon." In In
cident It has many oxcellent points and
the dialogue is cpurkllng throughout and
at times exceedingly vivacious and tho
performance, aa might be Inferred, is In
keeping with the merits of tho play. Rhea
Is admirably lilted for the title role and
from tho moment of her entrance sho
holds the audience bpell bound.
"Sowing tho Wind."
"Sowing the Wlrd" is u truly fascin
atblng play conceived by the lllustrloos
playwright, Sydney Grundy, who handles
a delicate problem In an exceedingly
clover manner. This pluy produces n
great effect, the audience laughs when
the dramatist deMies to awaken laugh
ter; weeps when ho wishes thcra to weop;
sorrows with the unfortunate person
ages he has created for sorrow; exults
over the defeat of thoso he lashes, and
rejoices In tho Joy of thoso he caresses.
"Sowing the Wind" will be tho attraction
at the Lyceum Tuosduy, Feb. 13.
I'nst Mall Coming.
A now Idea was Introduced, quite accl
dcntly, too, in "Fast Mull," during u per
formunce ut Ilavlin's theater. Tho scene

upon the old Impulse, tho former gavo
the proper signal to back, which was
promptly done by the stage caipenter.

applause. Manager Carter congratulated

MARY HAYES WANTED.
Shcriir Has Not Been Ablo to Mnkc n
Prisoner of Her.
Once again doth Mary Hayes set at
defiance the whole executive force of
the commonwealth In Lackawanna
county. She Is wanted to stand trial
for keeping a tippling house over in
tho Twelfth ward, and when she did
not resuond when called, on Tuesday,
a deputy sheriff wns dispatched with
a capias and Instructions to bring her
over.
Whether It was the memory of the
fate of ex-Deputy Sheriff "Billy" Craig
and various other olllccrs of the law
who were rash enough to attempt Mrs.
Hayes' arrest, or whether It was that
this latest envoy of the court met with
some such experience ns his predeces
sors, does not appear, but whatever it
was, Mrs. Hayes was not brought Into
court and the district attorney yester
day confessed his Inability to get her.
"Why," said Judge Archbald, In
amazement, "I am Mirprised to hear
such an admission. To think that the
sheriff of this county, with all the
power he has at command, should have
It said for him that he can not encom
pass the arrest of a woman."
"But It Is true, nevertheless, your
honor," said Mr. Jones. "We have ex
hausted every available means at com
mand and yet are unsuccessful."
"Hut you haven't exhausted every
nvallable means," rejoined the court.
"Have you never heard of the Judge
who, on an occasion similar to this,
told the sheriff that every available
means had not been exhausted, that he
had not summoned him, the Judge. The
sheriff, so the story goes, then and
there Impressed the Judge Into service,
under his posse power, and ordered him
to bring In the prisoner. And the Judge
brought him In."
"Well, we will do that in this case,"
suggested Mr. Newcomb, attorney for
the prosecution, but Judge Archbald
intimated that It would not be done
Just yet.
And Mary Hayes la still at liberty.

OBITUARY.
The demise of Mrs. Catherine Mc
Cnnn, one of West Scranton's pioneer
residents, occurred last evening at C
o'clock at the residence, 603 Chestnut
street. Death was due to a stroke of
paralysis. This was the third one, sho
having suffered the first about six
months ago and the second early yes
ferday morning. Though' unable to
speak or move she retained her con
sciousness. Her age, being 74 years,
was a disadvantage and she had been
confined to her bed ever since the first
attack. As had been her usual way
of living, she bore her affliction with
fonltude and greatly assisted In miti
gating the seriousness of her trials by
her good nature. She was born ut
Wcstport, county Mayo Ireland, In
1824. In 1S48 sho came to America with'
her parents and came to reside In what
was Hyde Park borough. Shortly af
comlng here she was married to the
late Peter McCann, who died about
thirteen years ago. Her whole life was
characterized by acts of charity and
kindnesses for others' less fortunate.
No person, no matter his or her con
dition or want, was refused her advice
nr aid. She was a devout member of
