JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.
Important Meeting of the Mayfleld
Council Held Last Evening Fu
neral of Jeremiah Williams Per
sonals. The Mayfleld borough council met In
regular pesslon last evening. Secre
tary Daley called the following role,
to which all responded: Shnlto, Will
iam Edmunds, James Harris, Galla
gher, Blyth and E. V. Edmunds. Mr.
Bergan, who was present, asked If the
secretary refused to call his name. The
secretary read n communication fronj
Attorney Adwards, which stated that
the recent suit was merely un order
for an alternative mandamus and that
court must make the alternative man
damus peremptory before council was
obliged to reseat Mr. Bergan.
Councllmen Blyth and Harris were
appointed a committee to see the water
company relative to the condition of
one of the water plugs on the hill,
which was badly out of repair. Coun
cilman Harris reported an expert
bookkeeper had been engaged to Inves
tigate the borough bocks and was
working at the matter. K. F. Ed
munds called the name of the expert,
but Harris refused to disclose tho
name. While the matter was being
discussed the bookkeeper came In nnd
was asked to make his report. E. F.
Edmunds demanded before the report
vas read that council should mnke a
statement as to what the bookkeeper
was engaged for and what his remun
eration was to be. Mr. Kohnstan,
tho bookkeeper, was then, by motion
of council, asked to rend his report,
which he did. The report was made
from an exhaustive search of the bor
ough books from tho year 1892 up to
March 1, 1899. After It had been read
E. F. Edmunds engaged the book
keeper In conversation for a few min
utes In which he npparently sought to
have the expert admit that his report
was possibly incorrect, but in this he
foiled, tho bookkeeper stating that
while how as not infallible he was
willing to swear to the accuracy of
Dundy volunteered the Information
that the trensury was empty at that
time, there being no funds turned over
to him. Another Interesting fact came
to light, showing that seven $100 bonds
had been redeemed In July, which
the present treasurer knew nothing of.
At the foncluslon of the report coun
cil, by vote, adopted it and then dis
cussed tho method to be adopted to
secure the shortage. They were talk
ing of the advisability of calling a
special meeting for th purpose of giv
ing the ex-treasurer nn opportunity to
throw some light upon it when your
correspondent left the council room.
The meeting throughout the evening
was a heated one.

THEATRICAL.
"The Village Postmaster."
A good, wholesome, old-fnshloneJ
kind of a drama Is "Tho Village Post
master," which was seen at tho Ly
ceum last night by nn audience that
was limited only by the capacity of
tho house. It was an audience that
went away well pleased with tho per
formance, many voting It tho most
faithful reproduction of rural life that
they ever saw on the stage.
In the second act was a realistic do
nation party to the village minister at
which tho youthB of the village danced
quadrilles to tho music of the village
musician, who fiddled and called off
ihe figures with a skill born of long
experience at such work. This par
ticular lldler has been with the com
pany only a few weeks. Ho spent tin
greater part of his life furnishing mu
sic for th social functions of some
of tho Adirondack villages and 13 a fa
miliar figure to many persons who havo
visited tho mountains in search ot
health or game. Ills performance o.i
his old violin last night was one of tho
features of the performance, In the
third act there was a thrashing ma
chine In operation In a farm yard and
nothing was wanted to mako the pic
ture of farm life complete. No detail
had been overlooked.
But the play does not depend on Its
realism for Its success. There Is a well
told and Interesting, if somewhat con
ventional story und a very good com-
pnny to present It. This company Is
headed by Archie Boyd, who hag for
years been tho central figure of numer
ous successful dramas dealing with ru
ral life. There Is no better Interpreter
on tho rmgo today of the rugged New
England farmer than Mr. Boyd. Other
excellent members of the company nro
Henry L, Koan, Frank Lyman, James
II. Bradbury, Edith Baker, Charlotte
Deane, Grace Grlswold and Annie
Buckley.
Tha SUna Company.
At the Academy of Music last night
the largest crowd seen In that popular
playhouse In vears was present nt tho
opening of the engagement of Thomas
E. Shea and his company. The bill se
lected for tho opening night was "The
Man-o'-Wnr's Man," and the way It
pleosed the audience was demonstrated
by the howls ot delight from tho gal
lery that mingled with the vlgorotiB
hnnd-clapplng In the pit.
"The Mnn-o'-War's Man" Is a patri
otic American war drama, the central
figure of which Is Captain Jack Con
way of the United States cruiser New
Orleans. This Is tho role that Mr. Shea
essays and ho made a great success of
It last night. Mr. Shea Is a very ver
satile actor, but thero Is something In
. tho brave, manly spirit of Captain Jack
Conway that has made the rolo pecul
iarly suited to him. His work last night
wns received with great favor.
Mr. Shea has with him onp of th
Btrongest companies he has ever
brought to this city. Among the mem
bers of It whose work last night Is to
be commended were Henry Testa,
James J. Cassndy. Alfred Rumble,
Teresa Deagle, Charlotte Burkott and
Leslie Haskell. The nlay was very
handsomely staged. It will be repeated
this afternoon, and tonight the com
pany will bo seen in "Dr. Jekyll and
Mr. Hyde."
Rose Sydoll's London Bollcs.
The strong feature of the Rose Sy
dell's London Belles company, which
opened a three days' engagement at
the Gaiety yesterday afternoon Is tho
acrobatic work of the four Nelson sis
ters. Nothing superior to It has ever
been seen In this city and It Is very
much to be doubted if they have ever
been equnlled here. Other features of
the olio are Hilton Brothers, Jugglers;
Shepp and Lee, comedians; O'Rourke
and Burnette, buck and wing dancers;
Shnttuck and Bernard, sketch artists.
The performance opens with a skit,
"Cafe deia Amcrlque," and closes with
a burlesque, "The Snapper," which is
seasoned with tobisco sauce, Tho
company will be at the Gaiety today
and tomorrow afternoons and even
ings. -"Courted Into Court."
The Lyceum theater this evening
will be devoted to the merriest of
farces, "Courted Into Court," from tho
pen of that most successful writer ot
farces, John J. McNally, and given by
those clever vaudeville stars, Clifford
and Huth, surrounded by an nn ex
ceptional company of farceurs. Maud
Huth with her hearty stylo of comedy,
her breezy adaptability arid magnetic
personality, Is a great favorite In this
style of comedy, as she was In vaude
ville. Billy Clifford fairly revels in a
chappie character that allows him
full scope for his clever comedy and
artistic dancing, while one of his songs,
"Reggie, the Reigning Rage," has tho
swing and dash of a Sousa march and
Is fast becoming one of the strong hits
of the season.
Prominent members of the company
are Oscar Dane. John Price, Eugene
Wiener, Howard Lang, R. J. Moye,
John H. McCauley, Nellie V. Nichols,
Vera King, May Ollnger, Pearl Ridings,
Beatrice World, Marie Peterman, Wil
ma C. Gllmore, Mattle George and
others.
The Devil on Earth.
Marie Corelli's celebrated novel, "The
Sorrows of Satan." the sales of which
In this country alone are said to havo
exceeded one million copies has been
turned Into a drama.
This wns inevitable In the ense of a
book possessing such theatrical quali
ties and tho readers of which have
numbered far more than those of "The
Christian." "Rupert of Hentzau" or
"A Lady of Quality," all of which fur
nished excellent dramatic material.
The play Is to be given here for tha
first time next Friday and Saturday
at the Lyceum. Also a special mati
nee on Saturday.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by locnl applications ns they cannot reach
the diseased portion of tho ear. Thero Is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
lu by constitutional remedies. Deafness
Is caused by an Inllamcd condition of tho
mucous lining of tho Lustachlan Tube.
When this tube Is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or Imperfect heurlng, nnd
when It Is entirely closed, Deafness Is
tho result, nnd unless the Inllnmmation
can bo taken out nnd this tubo restored
to Its normal condition, hearing will bo
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
rnd caused ly Catarrh, which Is nothing
but an Inflamed condition of the mucous
fcurfnets.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any caso of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
