A BRILLIANT RECITAL.
Given by Marshall Darrach In St.
Luke's Parish House.
Tho most exclusive audience of tho
season gathered InRt night at St. Luke's
parish hall to hear Marshall Darruch,
thn renowned Shakespearean scholar
and reader, In tecltnl.
Much hail been expected ot this en
tertainment, as Mr. Darrach's reputa
tion Is such that his partlcuar Inter
pretation of the great dramatist Is cer
talti to Interest the most critical stu
dent, as well as the listener who merely
wishes tube entertained. He Is richly
endowed In voice, physique and grace
of gesture to picture the most Intricate
Plot.
Mr. Darrach's repertoire laBt night
Included many characters from "The
Merchant of Venice." The monologlst
must always labor at a certain disad
vantage In the absence ot tho effective
accessories f costume, stage setting
and varied personnel In the play ns It
Is fumlllar to the average theatre-goer,
but Mr. Darrach had proceeded with
few lines berore the stately Venetian
age seemed to stretch far before tho
audience and almost tho Palace of tho
Dogeo, the Ptnzxettn, the black-prowed
gondolas appeared in fancy's mirror.
It needed not tho red gleam of Por
tia's cap and gown, the slashed velvets
and satins of the distant period to
brliis It very near, for the entertainer
of the evening- made this gem of all the
lighter plays of Shakespeare a series
of brilliant pictures.
Perhaps his greatest Impersonation Is
that of Shylock. He makes no bur
lesque of the role, but lifts It to the
dignity which only now and then It J
has attained at the hands ot u great
aitor.
Antonio was wonderfully Well por
trayed. Mr. Darrach's line personality
seeming specially adapted to the char
acter. His work In the casket scene
was delicate and fascinating In Its deft
grace, while tho brilliance of the court
scene In the swift changes of personnel
wna a revelation of art Interpreted by
true genius.
The stage settings lust night were
tasteful and beautiful. These were con
tributed through the courtesy of Mrs.
H. M. Boles. Mrs. AV. T. Smith and the
linn of Hill & Connoll.
Miss Hortensu Van Courlander, who
has been so active In promoting the in
terests of tho recital, is to be congratu
lated for her success.
AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Major Millar's Horse Made a Lively
Dash Up Lackawanna Avenue as
Parade Was Dispersing.
There was a most exciting runaway
on Lackawanna, avenue yesterday af
ternoon, Just as the llremen's parade
was being dismissed. Major W. S. Mil
lar, Grand Marshal Hlckey's chief of
staff, was mounted on a spirited horse
owned by Lieutenant Colonel C. C.
Mattes and when the head of the dis
solving body was at Lackawanna unit
Pcnn avenues the horse took tho bit
between his teeth and dashed up the
avenue, which was crowded with peo
ple from curb to curb.
Major Millar Is a dashing- and ex
perienced horseman and ho did his
utmost to subdue the fractious horse,
at the same time skilfully guiding tho
animal so ns not to Injure any one. Ho
was successful until he reached the
First National bank.
At that point Anna Kllcullon, an
eleven-year-old girl, who lives on Mer
idian street, dashed directly In front ot
the horse nnd was knocked down and
trampled upon by the horse.
A few yards further on Major Millar
was thrown from the horse, but ho
resolutely clung to the bridle and, al
though dragged along tho pavement,
retained his grasp and succeeded In
stopping the horse at Fritz's harness
store, in the middle of the block be
tween Wyoming and Washington ave
nues. After the girl wa3 run down she lay
on the pavement In a seml-unconsclous
condition and It was at first supposed
she was dead. Great excitement fol
lowed. As soon as Major Millar stopped
the horse, notwithstanding that he was
badly hurt himself, his first thought
was of tho little girl. He had her taken
into Dr. X. Y. Leet's office, where it
was ascertained that she had no bones
broken, but had sustained a number ot
painful bruises. Major Millar sent her
home in a carriage In care of Dr. Leet,
and directed that she receive every pos
sible attention at his expense.
Tho major then went to his office,
where he ascertained that he Is a mass
ot bruises and contusions from head to
foot. His right arm Is quite seriously
hurt.
ARCH WAS SET ON TIRE.
Pretty Spectacle at Wyoming Ave
nue and Mulberry Street.
About S.30 o'clock last night some
one sot lire to the evergreen arch at
Wyoming avenue and Mulberry street.
The pine and the wooden frame work
to which It was attached biased fur
iously for a few minutes and made a
pretty spectacle.
Word was sent to the Crystal Hose
house on Linden street and the com
pany and Its hose wagon made a quick
run to tho blazing arch and extin
guished the flame with chemhals Tho
beauty ot the arch has been greatly
marred, however.
Realistic Production.
Connolly & Wallace deserve credit
for a most remrakablo reproduction of
a fire scene In one of their large show
windows on Washington avenue. It
pictures a small brick building on fire
on tho Inside, a fireman stands at ono
of tho windows with a hose, while an
other ascends a ladder to the roof,
which Is made of burned boards;
through the broken panes of glass a
firemen Is heroically saving the con
tents of the fated building. Tho
burned curtains and carpets, broken
glass and furniture on the grass un
der the windows, tho red lights with
in the building, the gravel paths and
trees, complete the most realistic win
dow scene ever reproduced In Scranton.

Mrs. Baldwin has spent twenty years

tian missionaries-.
Her reminiscences of that long stay
In heathen lands are most Interesting.
She spoke last evening on "The iPres
ent Political Connection of the World
with Reference to Evangelistic Work,"
and drew vivid contrasts between the
aspects of the East at the time ot her
Hint visit and that of last year, when
Dr. Baldwin and she returned to at
tend the fiftieth conference anniversary
In China. She stated In strong terms
that three great barriers still exist,
namely: Mohammedanism, tho preju
dice because of opium trade, and Jes
uitism. LORD OPENED A WAY.
She gave a graphic picture of the
present situation In the East, where
Russia waits to grasp Northern China,
while Italy and Franco are eager to
obtain the southern portion. The only
hope of this great market of the world
Is England and America, and the Lord
has opened a way in this war which
has been the medium which has thrown
open the door to Christian missions.
Incidentally she deprecated tho army

NOTES OF THE CONVENTION.
Mrs. Darlington, the associate corresponding-
secretary, is an Interesting
lady. She Is the granddaughter of the
late Charles Miner, of Wilkes -Bane,
and the daughter of Judge Joseph
Lewis, of Philadelphia, a close per
sonal friend of Abraham Llnioln. who
was to have been one of tho box party
the fatal night of the assassination.
Her sister was the first wife of Wayne
-McVeagh, who at her death mairloJ
a daughter of Simon Cameron. Major
McCauley, state auditor general. Is a
brother-in-law of Mir. Darlington.
The presence, of Mrs. Chrls'Uui K.
Ross at the convention recall mniv
sad thoughts to the mind of thos who
know her life's tragedy. It wns twenty-six
years last Fourth of July sln.-e
her little son Charlie went out of tho
door and has never returnel to this
day.
She was away from home at the
time with a sick child who neede 1 sea
air and the agonizing nnd frantic
search for the lost little lad Is som
thlng never to be forgotten by all f!e--mantown
and, indeed, the whole coun
try. A few years ago her husband died
broken-hearted from the sorrow of It
all. No one ever speaks to her about
the story, for she loses self-control and
suffers again In repetition of the mis
ery of that awful time.
