There was great rejoicing yesterday In the Free Kindergarten and among those interested in the operatic benefit for that cause, when It was announced that Secretary D. B. Atherton, of the board of trade, had consented to take the role- of the Inquisitor in the opera to be presented next month. It was only after the most urgent solicitation that Mr. Atherton was persuaded to go Into the cast. "I'm tired of being con sidered a comedian," said he. "It isn't becoming for tho secretary of the board of trade to make a fool of him self on tho stage. It's about time peo ple began to take me seriously. I'm a serious man, really. This soldier's re lief work Is enough to make a tomb stone out of tho funniest Interlocutor that ever helped conduct a minstrel show, and I was never violently hu morous. As for singing, well tho least 'satd about that the better," but all the same Mr. Atherton will take a prominent part In the opera and every one is highly pleased at his decision. Mr. and Mrs, Dlxcy.who are directing the affair, havo made a most satisfac tory impression. They are persons of culture and talent and are certain to make a success o the enterprise. Tney are exceedingly pleased with tho ma terial In tho personnel of tho company. Among the now members who will odd much to the Interest and success of tho performance are: Miss Belln, Miss Augusta Archbald, Miss Hunt, Miss Welles, Miss Wlnton, Miss Anderson, Messrs. A. K.

This city has probably never had as many really excellent theatrical pro ductions ns it Is now getting In tho Ly ceum. Tho management Is crowding every week full of attractions that no one likes to miss. In the past fort night such plays as "Off and On," "Monbais," -Under the Bed Robe," "The Prisoner of Zenda," and "The War Correspondent" have been seen successively, with the lino opera if "El Capltan" besides. These are mentioned ns illustrating a disproof of the statement that the public today demands coarseness, Indelicacy and low comedy in general. The public ap preciates such pure and beautiful pre sentations as "The Little Minister" and "The Hoosier Doctor." It Is a pleasure to note that the Lyceum management seams disposed to respond to this taste by affording the best attractions to bo eecured. Miss McGaughey, the efficient and much appreciated city missionary of the Second Presbyterian church, has taken up her resldenco with Mrs. It. W. Luce, thus brightening a lonely life with her presence and receiving in re turn the benign Influence of a charm ing home, Tho house committee of the Scranton club held an Important meeting yes terday and will recommend tonight the details of an event which will take precedence over most affairs of a sim ilar kind ever held In this city. This will be a handsomo reception about Dec. 1. The invitations will bo limit ed and will Include the Immediate fam ilies of the members with a certain number of tickets for friends.

ANNUAL ENTERTAINMENT. Being Discussed by the Finance Committee of Home. The finance committee of the Home for the Friendless is quietly discussing the prospects for their usual big an nual entertainment. All sorts of things havo been suggested to their notice, and many remarkable Ideas supposed to be feasible have been presented by promoters of various schemes. These have ranged from a minstrel where It was urged that a deal of money could be made If the managers would black their faces and act as the "show" to klrmesses and vast speetncular per formances where the largest portion of the receipts would go to the out-of-town promoter. At present nothing is determined as to what tho character of the entertain ment will be. The Contractor's Idea. "What's thnt Job worth?" they asked tho contractor. "Well," ho said slowly, "that depends a good deal upon circumstance. If It was oulcred by an individual I should think that $100 would be about the limit, but If done for tho city or county I shouldn't thing of charging n bit less than JsOO, with a clause In the contract permitting mo to make un additional charge for ex tras."

I append It as the alleged con Beijuenco ot following my mivica Whether It may be regarded no a hor ilble example is difficult to determine. My Ideas of being pleased with things and omitting fnult-llndlng seem to bo capable of a variety of applications. Hero Is a specimen. Dear Saucy Bess: I rend your geimou last Saturday and it certulnly had a good text as to foundation. It set me to think lug thut I could apply tho fault ilndlng clause to myself. It's growing easy for me to say spiteful things of other people and I haven't realized It, so 1 thought I d start on a new tuck. You may jiiilgu fur yourself ua to tho results. 1 begun Monday. Threo girl friends wore culling and one remtirked: "Sullle'a engagement Is Just about off again. I should think she'd keep this one. She s faolng." Now It there's a girl whoso very name gets on my nerves It s Sallle, 1 simply can't enduru her In thu miiw room. Wo always dli agree about every thing and tho other girls know it and dun t invito us together. They expected mo to tuko this chunco to express my opinion rather freely. l opened mv mouth to statu: "Engagement! 1 pity tho man thut marries hor." when I thought In tlmo und declared with an unneces sary degreo of enthusiasm: "I suspect Salllo's found him out. I don't believe hu'd muko her happy and 1 in sure, for hor sake, 1 hopo shoi send him off." Tho girls almost tumbled eft their chairs and fur' a minute vv-ru speechless, then they shouted ut concert P'tch: "You you always ntld nobodv'd have her finally.' And then each ono went on to recall o'her such pleasant lit tle remarks I'd mado about Sallle. I tried to stand by my nuw code and the consequence was that tho girls went uway nftor nwhllo moio than hulf Indignant und puzzled nnd they havo legarded mo with suspicion ever s'nee. Olio of them told a friend that sho never had thought me deceitful, but had about made up her mind I'm not to bo trusted. So much tor m nrsi attenpt ut refoim; 1 don't won der any moio that politicians emit get naek to tho lnnocenco und trustfulness of curly days. Tho next experience was purely domes tic. My mother deeteed that. 1 coulcin t have the now tullnr-inadn gown I had counted on. She decreed It rather of fensively, for sho expected it to he tho signal lor hostilities und a c clone In tho household for a week; but she made up hor mind to bo firm, for sho wanted ne' curtains In tho library. I thought about tho sunshine theory and that It would bo at least a now sensation to sui prise mo ther by not muklug a row and ilndititf fault with everything under the shining sun. and as sho wus blinking veiy fast so us not to bo shaken In har deUrnilhitlm by my sore dlspleasutes, I smiled ldiutlr ully and said: "Oh, last winter's cloth dress will do with sotim new braid." Mother Rasped nnd leaned up against the sideboard and It wasn't long till I heard her telephoning tho doctor for n "tonic for Madge." Tho time I've had In refialn. Ing from throw Irg tha horrid tonic out the window! Jack, who calls at our house frequent ly, forgot himself tho other night and fell to expatiating on the chnrms of a western girl who Is vlsting Isabel L . I wanted to tell him tha she had n slight cast in her left eyo and that her hats uro tho craziest looking creations a girl over achloved, but Instead 1 listened and smiled and said "yes." and that dense specimen of humanity maundcrd on nil tho evening. Oh, how I was bored! And Just a word of rldculo of that foolish girl would havo brought him to his senses. Now it's been less than u week and theso few Incidents nte only a beginning. I'e piopared a littlo list of results of your advice. Hero they uro: Loss Plvo dollars which papa would havo added to my nllowanro if I'd agreed with him In saying John Wannnmker Is a Hypocrite'. (lvo always been in tho habit of agreeing with papain politics). Mado bi other Ned fuilous because I Insisted thcro must bo some good In Sam D. , who likes tho same girl. Have lost my icputatlon for good tasto bceauso 1 didn't call Mrs. B "s new cape a frlcht. Hail sixteen distinct snubs from peo ple who used to depend on my authority for opinions of persons they dldn t like. The minister wanted to pray with me. believing that I am seeing "light" on the foreign mission work. Was Invited to make n "speech" bcfro a suffrago meeting because I was quoted as speaking kindly of tho movement. Overheard two of my friends say I'm "getting queer" and one of tho house maids contido to her "steady company"' thot the family thinks I'm going into a decline. My dearest friend statel frankly last night that hitherto sho hud always be lieved me consistent, but now shu didn't "know what to think." On tho whole, dear Bess, what do you think of the week's category? Madgo B . Miss Caroline Conkllng. the teacher of physical culture nt the Conservatory of Music, In a half amused, half vexed manner said the other tiny: "Of all the overworked words In the English lnnguage 'Delsarte' is the most abused. The indiscriminate applications it re ceives nro simply maddening; anything from a dumb bell exercise to nn Amazon march is termed Delsarte and struggle- as you may you can't get away from its all porvadlncness. Tho fnct Is that Delsarte himself had no design of instructing In physical cul- tuie. Ills foIo Idea wa.s of giving ex pression to thought by moans of gos ture. While I havo studied under M. Dels.irte'H daughter. I do not cnll my work Delsarteun because, while It takes up tho nesthetic side of human expression, it does not go far enough to develop the body symmeli Rally and give great place to the hygienic princi ples of correct exercise. I teach Del farte, oh, yes, but It does we'ary mo to hear the word misapplied unlivery form of physical culture." There Is no doubt I hat this criticism is Just in tills country. Do up a girl In twenty-live or thirty yards of white cheese cloth, moro or less unsafely draped, and let her go tlnough with a variety of contortions of face and body while she recites "Curfew Shnll Not Ring Tonight,'' and everybody goes home satisfied that thev havo seen Delsarte. Ton glils arrayed In bloom ers and armed with Indian clubs which they swing In perilous proximity to each other's heads, constitute' an expo sition of Delsarte. Ten nioro girls, similarly attired, and engaged In hop ping over a horizontal bar are Delsar teans. A Mrs. Edmund Russell (now Mrs. Hoveyl clothed In a nondescript luted gown made a la Mother Hubbard and adorned with a collection of sav age looking Jewels, occupying herself by tumbling down stairs to ihow a number of fearful-eyed nnd awe-struck women In tight corsets, high collars and narrow shoes, how to fall grace fully and with no danger to tho tumb ler, is another specimen of Delsarte. The i oung woman who gives you mas sage for your rheuniutism or gout Is a Delsnrtean, and reallv poor old Del sarte would forget himself and turn over awkwardly In his grave If he could see these multitudinous Interpre tations of his loved art. It would be un encouraging indication of advance In Americin educutlon If wn could learn to call things by their right names and not say that everybody from the pilze fighter and the base ball pitcher to the small boy who reel ten a "piece" about his little brother In heaven, carefully pointing downward nt the reference to the abode of the blest In his climax, Is an "exponent of Delsarte."

Result in Pennsylvania Will Have an Important nnd Far-reaching Result Candidates Who Have Been Nominated by tho Republi can Party Aro Tried and True Men Every Republican Is Urged to Como Out Nov. 8 and Give His Vote for Entlro Ticket. The following nddtes's lins been is sued by Hon. K. N. WHInrd, chairman of the Republican county committee: To the Republicans of Lackawanna County: The splendid achievements of the ad ministration of William McKlnley uro known and recognized not enly la our own country, but :n eery land whero our flan lloats ut tho mast-heads of tho ships in uur triumphant navy. Under tho benign rule of our chief and the policy of his udmlnlstratlen our wheat fields und corn fields havo bi ought ample returns to our farmers, und our work shops uro again busy, giving employment to labor; and our currency has been (Irm ly established so that every dollar In ev ery man's hands is worth one hundred cents. Shall this tide, of prosperity stop or shall It go on till there aro no unem ployed throughout tho length and breadth of the lund? This Is tho issue that con front tho American people! This is tile issue in the present campaign in Putin sylvanlat What Is tho duty of Republicans under tho conditions thut now confront us'.' Is It our duty to listen to tho call of fac tions, or shall wo steadily press onward In solid phalanx anil glo our united sup port to Wllllnm McKlnley und his admin istration? Or shall wo throw away tho fruits of victory and prospeilty nnd tutn tho government over to tho enemies of tho administration? Tho result of tho campaign in Pcnrsylvunlu. tho second stnto in the Union, will havo nn Impor tant nnd far-reaching Influenco upon this question. CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR. Wo have ns our candidate for the gubernatorial chair and us our standard bearer in this campaign, a tried nnd truo soldier of tho Rebellion; a statesman who has represented the commonwealth In the halls of congress, with a character unassailable, and for whom every Repub lican should vote In order to sustain tho policy of the Rrpuhllean party. A voto for cither of ills opponents Is an ac knowledgment of weakness In the prin ciples of our party which In reality docs not exist. Wo exhort you. therefore, to vote for Colonel William A. Stone and his asso ciates upon the state ticket. Whether the administration shall bo sustained or defeated In Its policy de pends largely upon the complcxtlun ot tho next house of representatives. Our fel lowcltlzen.Hon. William Conndl, has rep resented this district faithfully In tho houso of representatives, and has given his undivided Biipport to all the measures that have given prosperity to the country, und has stood by tho president In every emergency when support was called for and merited In order to sustain the meas ures of the administration which have re sulted in triumph to our flag nnd pros perity to our Industrial Interests. In this campaign our congressman should receive thnt support due to every man who can sav, "I havo done my full duty," and should met with the Just and truo response from tho people. "Well done, good and faithful sen ant." Upon tho legislature to bo chosen In this campaign devolves tho Important duty of electing to tho senate of tho United States a tried and true man. as well as tho further duty of legislating for the best Interests of tho commonwealth, and In enacting laws for our government that will bo a credit upon tho pages of our statute books. Senator Vnughon, Rcpiesentatlves Farr, Remolds nnd Mackcy havo been tried, and made thalr lecord for themselves. They havo bee renominated by tho re spective conventions of their districts, which Is a full endorsement of their acts by the people who elected them. Thry are entitled to the sepport of eery Re publican In their districts. John Schcuer, Jr.. nn intelligent tier man nnd citizen of the Eleventh ward, Is our nominee for representative in the Sec ond legislative district. A man ot strict integrity nnd honesty, and fit to repre sent his district In the next legislature. Dr. Roberts for coroner, nnd Mr. Stev enson for county surveyor aro entitled to tho voto of every Republican In the ce.unty. With this most respectnblo list of canal, datos let mo appeal to you personally ani In behalf of our county committee, to come out on the Sth of November next und give us your votes for tho entlro ticket. We m.iko this appeil not only for our enndi'lates, but for the administra tion of William McKlnley, In order that our victories may not bo In vain, nnd that tho tide of prosperity, by him in augurated may not be turned bnck.

The poor board met yesterday after noon and considered eight applications for help. Dr. Palne's action in pend ing William Devine. of Jackson street, to the Hillside insane asylum was ap proved.

Upon puruns eompnny Mr. Van Ustcn staked hm fortune on a bur lesquo Known us "Miss l'hlhulelphlu," which failed to bring mnny leturns, and Miss Yaw started out under umutuur management nnd met with many reverses. It is probable that this last move ot changing her nnrao will eftectuully close, tho doors of oblivion upon a mctoanc career. Tho Schubert quartette, assisted by Mrs. O'lJrlen, gavo a concert last evening at Jcrmyn before a erowded halt and very enthusiastic audience. Tho newly-organized "Musical Culture society" held their first lehcartal last Wednesday u cnlng ovur Po'well's stora. , . !l The Schubert quurtetto will entertain tho school. mar'ms on No. 3, at tho high school auditorium, Institute week.

They will enter tho competition on the nialo voice selection "What Is Heuiitlful" at thu eisteddfod to bo held there soon. The Schubert Glee club of Providence, comprising about thlrty-tie voices, gavo a successful concert at Jermyn tho loro part of the week.

Tho concert to bo given at tho Lyceum on Monday evening by thu Seldl orches tra, und chorus with Miss Sara Anderson as soloist will bo one of the great musl cut events of tho year. The tickets have been selling rapidly und a largo uudlcnco no doubt will greet the nrtlsts. Tho congregation of Kim Park church Is much disappointed becauso Mrs, O'Rrlen has decided to break her en gagement ns solo soprano In the choir. I II I1 Miss Kllzaboth Thomas. Mr. Wooler nnd Mr. Richard Thomas will sing the trio In "Henvens Aro Telling" to be tendered by the Soldi chorus nt the Lyceum on Mon day evening. Mr. Wooler will also sing the solo In Gounod's Sanctus. i ii r One of the most popular nnd meritorious musle.il features of this season Is the series of autumn organ recitals being given on tho fine new organ of ihe Pro, Idence PrcsbyterUn church. The first ono was given by Professor Pennington last month nnd was attended by a delighted audience that tilled tho thureh. The Oc tober recital will be given by Miss Flor ence Richmond, organist at the First Presbyterian church, assisted by Mrs. Kato Crossln-O'Hrlen. Miss Richmond Is gen erallj recognized as nn accomplished mu sician, both as a student of the art und In tho execution of her work at the piano und orgun. Upon such a line organ as that of the Provldenco Presbyterian church a rare treat is In store for those who attend the recital on the evening of tho ."1st. Mrs. O'Rrlen Is likewise ono ot tho most popular and painstaking so loists nnd Is always heard with pleasure. Mis. O'Brien will glvo two numbers on tho programme. These recitals are given for tho beuellt of the public and have, for this one, like tho formpr. no rulmlsMou fee will be charged, though a bllver of fering Is received, I' II II Tho coming season of opera at tho Metropolitan opera house In New York promises to bo the most successful In sev eral years, the advance sale of scats and boxes having already lv.iched a hljior figure than was ever beforo ki.own at tnis early period In the fall. The magnitude of the undertaking may bo jud-red by the fact that the contracts already entered Into by Mr. Gran nmount to nearly M, OOJ.OGO. Not many novelties are promised, und even of these, some will probably not bo produced, as is always tho case; but the array of nrtlsts wno will appear dur ing the season is something the llko of which New York has never seen before, and It Is doubtful If any other city In tho world ever has. Of com so tha pries if seats are high, tho orchestra stalls for soino performances being $7 cacn. Hut when It Is remembered that some of ho singers receive from $1,200 to $I,NjO for a. single performance, and that there uro two or threo of these htgh-nrlced sing ers In each opera, besides others. It will bo seen that there aro heavy expenses to meet. The opening opera has not yet been announced, but it may bo Gounod's "Faus"-".'rtaluly tho most popular opera In itie lepertolre, nnd ono which always packs the house. Tho general public seems to enro little for novelties, preferring the well known operas with nn "nil-star" cast. In other words, they go to hear tho slrgers. rather than the opera.
