While It Is absolutely necessary that thoso who take Dart In comic opera, should bo possessed of good voices, It Is again necessary that their histrionic ability be oji u pnr with their voices In order to be of any value In this line of work. There Is a vnst difference between tho members of a company standing In their places and rendering an orato rio or any concert piece, having their books from which to read the muslo und the. performance of an opera like y'Tho Gondoliers," where every note must be committed and beside with almost every strain of music a bit of stage action is to be remembered. This is what has been undertaken by our amateur singers in the enter tainment to be given for the benefit of the Scranton Free Kindergarten as sociation thu 21st and 22nd of next month, and while the opein. chosen is especially difficult, it Is for that very reason they have selected it, as it abounds In charming mulc, pretty dances and tableaux, and tho most In tricate stage business, piesenting at all times a pcifect kaleidoscope of color In the many movements of the cast and chorus, all ot which will be enhanced bv various hued lights and many electric effect". In tho opera cr "The Gondoliers" there are as many different and stj les of dances aa In the ordinary klrmlss, with addition of the pretty music run ning all through It, which the klrmesb lacks, and in thu coming production with hoventy people In the cast and choius will bo shown about one hun dred and thirty dlffeient costumes, iianv of which will be of thu ilch""t material and nil ot them ch.iincteils tic to u. degree. "The Gondoliers" is a great perfor mance as a spectacle outbid" of th" fact that It contains the most catch" music and the cleverest dialogue that GUbeit and Sullivan over wrote. For tho futuie all the lehea-.sals of "The Gondoliers" will be hi Id at Guernsey's hall, as tn the inteiest ot the Scianton Fieo Kindergarten.

This little incident is quoted as illus trating the fact that political meet ings have their effect. To be sure there are people on eaith who bpllevo this without question, else why on eaith would they go to tho trouble and ex pense of having these dcmonsttatlons?

Tlio one true specific for dUcates arising from a debilitated nervous system IsPalne's celery compound, so generally prescribed by physicians, It Is probably tho most re markable remedy that the scientific rerearch cf this country has produced. Prof. Kdnrard r.. Phelps, M. D., L. I D., of Dartmouth college first prescribed what Is now known the world over as Paine's celery compound, a positivo cure for dyspepsia, biliousness, liver comp'alnt, neuralula, rheumatism, nit nervous diseases and kidney troubles. Paine's celery compound has succeeded gain and again where everything else bat failed. ninety and nine that would be saved, there Is really no use of pleaching to those already converted, and that the conect thing to do Is to go out and look for the one who Isn't there and who might be reformed if he could be gathered In. The girlish theoiy of change of opinion Is not exclusively a feminine prerogative. Thoie are men who may also be swayed by argument, although they are not alwajs ft auk enough to admit It. Pel haps the aver age man Is pi ono to lrgard a change of mind to bo Indicative of the most dtcidod weakness, even if the dlffei ent view may be unmistakably right. He is apt to send his wife and chil- (iien 10 ueu Willi tears oecaue nu has hastily denied some simple re quest that he would gladly giant had he not made the deelMon. which must bo sustained at nil odds. There Is noth ing more utterly idiotic than a ic lusal to recede from a position because one has sometime or other made a dif ferent determination and no doubt this has much to do with political ten dencies. I believe, hovvuvei. that a gieat meeting, such as that held In the Inteiest of the straight Kepuhlhan patty on Tuesday night, with such magnificent addtehses as weie made on that occasion, must have had Its effect on the views of the llstenc-i". Not all that vast assemblage went theie with a feeling In nccoid with the spirit of the affair. There can be no doubt that many prejudices were disarmed before the meeting closed ami that common sense and leaf on had their influence on mote hearers than would be willing to admit a change of henits. 1 believe In political meet ltieetlngs when they are presided over and endorsed by men of hiich principle and dlgnltyusMr.WlllardandMr. Dale and when they aie nddiesspd by those who, like Dr. Iteed, have an atmos pheie of flawless peisonallty and pub lic llfe;of moralcouiaKe.inddieii con selentlottsness to rise beneath and abow even the most eloquent woids. Such "stump speeches" have a i lassie and a moral value impossible to ovei rstimate Aboue all to have the thief inteiest of such a meeting the .success of a man like Colonel Stone is an other force which cannot always Im t-ald to be present. All these elements make one pioud to be a Republican and willing to use all possible Influence for that patty. It should bo a gieat comfoit to women who long to vote that after all the solitniy ballot each one might east would count but little In comparison with the influence she might wield If shu caied to become Informed on tho ihsuos of the day and didn't accept the opinion of some oth er woman as Ignorant as her.self. Mail's Inhumanity to man was Illus trated In n most astonlbhmg way on the occasion of Colonel Stone's visit to our city when .some malicious pei Mns Industriously clieulated the state ment that he was deeply intoxicated. Nothing mote unfair to the futuie gov ernor of the state of Pennsylvania can be devised, as Colonel Stone Is a total abstainer, a fact which hundicds of his acquaintances know. One of the most furious young women to he found In a circuit of seveial miles was wi ought Into this state of mind by the assertion thus made ugainst her favor ite candidate. "Well I like that," Mie ejaculated. "Didn't 1 see him at the Hotel Jermyn? didn't I tails with him? and haven't I any eyes oi other means ot detecting Intoxication0 And then didn't he sit by Mr. Tleitz at the thea ter and hasn't Mr. Dale been eloso by nnd I'd like to know when he had n chance to get diunk? The veiy Idea. Of course the poor man's face was red. whose, wouldn't be nflor Jumping mound on a platform making a big bpeech? Its a pity a person can't olush without being accused of annexing nn extensive Jag, I didn't like, to say 'Jag.' but It seems to expicss what I mean." I had a letter the other day from a pleasant unknown correspondent who asked my views on the question of n married woman signing her maiden namo to her eortespondence. In a bright, clever way sho told of nn in ildent In her own experience when she iccelved a letter from a pet son who signed heiself "Mary Jones," and whore ntinio thus written conveyed no Idea of the writer's Identity, as the re cipient knew other Joneses. My cor rspondent complains, and Justl), of tho noglejrt of her friend to also write her husband's name. It Is always better taste, except in the most Informal notes to friends who are unlikely to bo puzzled ns to tho writer's Identity, to Inscribe thu full married name in pannthesls, as well as to sign tlio maiden name nt the conclusion of the communication The popular fud among some women lo utterly Ignoro their husband's names In this regaid often results In awkward complications. Who Is eager to learn Mrs. McKlnley's Christian name? Doesn't Mrs. McKln ley mean something to every Ameri can that Elizabeth, or Salone, or Chur lotte, or Caroline ever can mean? Write "Mary Jones" by all means but wrlto ("Mrs. John Jones") at the foot of hor letters. Saucy Bess, In Unexpected Triumph Onepeisons loss Is always another s gain that s a rule as old and as true as the hills.

The lltht piano biotilil Into Ktiglimd hud been mndo by un thigllsh monk at Home, Father AVood, presumalily on tlie modPl of Cilstofoil This in strumenl was copied bj the instrument malteis of that time, but notablv by rtroadv.ood, and today the leading piano in England Is the Hioadwood piano. The first piano made in Tram e has been attiibuted tn Sebastlun Eruiri. It was made In 1777. The tlrm of Krard Is still In existence In i'arls, and the leading pianos in Fiance are the Ki I'lil. The upilght piano was the Inven tion ot John Isanc Hawkins an K11 clishman, who was living at the time in Philadelphia. The Instiumeut was ratentecl In 1S0O. The evolution of tho piano from weak, tinkling Instruments with clumsy actions to the splendid p'anos of tlie present Is one of th" most lemnrlcable In the history of me chanics; and It Is no small souice ot gratllaatlou to Americans that In the matter of Impiovoments In plann-mtik. lug the Pnlted States lias, for ninny years, led the woild.
