The entertainment given by Miss Jes sie L, Stearns, of Peckville, nnd her local pupils In aid of the Congrega tional church, on Saturday evening, was largely attended and tho excellent prog'-aiiime prepared was enjoynbly listened to.

We have heard several complaints from people of the borough who have to patronize the tlrst street car going north in the morning, on nccount of the overcrowding of the car by the workmen engaged in making the alter ations along the track. While nt or dinary times the car Is pretty well filled by passengers, the addition of the mngs of workmen picked up along tin oad make It most uncomfortable. For -'veral mornings past as many ns sixty eople have been crowded Into the car, and the people complaining appear to be talking with reason when they say the company ought to run an extra car for their workmen.

The company Is headed by Lester Walter nnd Is compos.nl of a number of very competent nctors. The play presented last night Is In five acts and Is one of strong and sutalned Interest. It was staged in a very ac ceptable manner. A number of good specialties were Introduced between the acts. This af teroon the company will present "In Old New Hampshire," and tonight "The ratal Wedding." The Limit Has Been Reached. A burlesque and vaudeville enter tainment under the iruise of "Deltnon Ico's at Six."1 is the attraction nt the Gaiety this week. There Is nothing about the perfoimnnce that would sug gest anything regarding Delmonlco's at six or In fact any other hour, but some very lively business Is furnished, calculated to mnko one forget minor details In the way of accuracy. Tho prominent feature of the show yesterday wns the disrobing net of M'llo Nada Reyvnl. a French actress. M'lle Nada, It will be remembered, was here last season and gave one exhibi tion in Iter particular line. Owing to a quarrel at the Westminster with her assistant the act was cut from the performance of the troupe while it re mained in Scranton.

The company will be at the Gaiety today and tomorrow afternoons and evenings. "Cyrano de Berjjerac." According to the Brooklyn Kagle, Mr. Francis Wilson, In "Cyrano de Ber gerac," Is a humorist In the exact meaning of the term. He produces his effects by quiet and droll methods and with an assumed seriousness that Is delightful. In Cyrano he has an ex cellent opportunity for the display of his humor. The score by Victor Herbert has again proved that we have a new comlo opera composer of high grade In this country. Herbert Is a thorough mu sician and he produces his effects In a muslelanly manner. Ills lyrics nre lyrical and his choruses have a swing nnd a dash which rest on a solid base of harmony. Tho orchestral commen tary wns vigorously poetic. The plec" has been mounted elaborately. Mr. Wilson's engagement In Scranton l. announced for tho Lyceum Wednesday. Dec. 20. MARINE MONSTERS. Sailors as a Class Do Not Believe In Sea Serpents. F. T. Bullen In London Star. To the curious in such matters It must be Intensely interesting to no:c how vigorous, even In these latter days, and In the most prominent cen ters of civilization, is tho craving af ter ono of the most nnclont of nil y.n world's myths. An Immense volume might bo written, upon the perslstonej of the sen-serpent legend, beginning awav back In the twilight of history and cnrrled rlsht down into this pres ent year of grace. And such a moun tain of apparently unimpeachable evi dence might bo collected In favor of the existence of such a monster or monsters that tho most skeptical of mankind, being unpossessed of any personal experience of the matter, mlcrht Well ll OXCIlRpd tnf n"lvlni In their allegiance to the belief in sea serpents, even though they were rep resented as hugely Incredible as tho million-league-long specimen portray ed In the Brahmlnlc account of the uni versal deluge. But it will be found that, although of course all the reports of sea ser pents having been seen aro received from seafarers, seamen as a class do not believe in the existence of any such creature. Moreover, if those reports bo submitted to careful Investigation it will invariably bo found that there aro so many elements of doubt attaching to the description of the monsters seen that by-and-by the only clear thing remnlnlng about such yarnB will be, that (something has been seen under certain abnormal conditions which has been hastily pronounced serpentine In character. Afterward, with tho natur al tendency to embelish a story which nil narrators aro prone to. dollnlto de tails have been added until some hid eous worm, worthy to take its place among the nightmares of the "elder slime," has been evolved. In the course of my wanderings In little-frequented parts of the watery world I have come in contact with many queer fish so queer, In fact, that I feel bound to make every excuse for those who, having been brought in conta t with such strange shapes for tho first time, have brought homo hair-raising stories nbout the sea serpents aye! nnd havo taken affidavits ns to tho truth of their reports, too. Hut it must be said also that many of these yarns leave their concoctors without oxcus, for It should at once have been evident to n seaman that tho monster viewed was nothing more serpent-llkc than n rorqual, one of tho long, slender whales that nro found on tho coasts of neatly every country In tho world. The latest story from Campbclltown bears nil tho mnrks of being built up out of a ror qual, its "lugsall" fins having doubtless sprung up inushroomllke under tho pyo of the observer. Or, more likely still, it may havo been n basking shnrk, of which many specimens havo been seen In British waters twenty feet long a length that would easily and natur ally lend Itself to triple expansion. Undoubtedly tho basis of the majority of sea-serpent stories Is tho gigantic cuttle-fish, observations of which havo been handed down to us from the re motest times, although strnngo to say, within tho last century even scientific men found It easier to necept senser pent fables ns true than accurate de tails about huge cuttlefish. On Juno 4, 1895, I published In Nature nn ac count of a conflict between n sperm whnle nnd nn litimenso cumonov, i,i moved thereto by reading a translation ot a paper read by the prince of Monaco before tho Academic ties Sciences nt Paris on his discovery of fragments of a huge cuttlefish In the ejectn of a sperm whale which he saw killed off Terceira. And I then stated that such a sight would abundantly Justify any number of n.urrmi yarns, witn waving manes, glaring eyes, sail-like fins In fact, nil the usual appendages. My sober account drew forth from the veteran Dr. An drew Wilson tho remark, In the Illus trated London News of July 11, 1S0G, that I had finally settled the sea-sor- nent ntlPHtlon Tim r-nnrl nrnfAnan.. ... ( . - -, ... .. nuuu iitviwonui i tin ; oversangulne. Popular myths don't j dip ns easily as that. Perhaps In this uiuunriaii and unbelieving ago it Is Just as well tbey shouldn't. And to majority of people the sea vast, mys terious unknown that It Is Is the sole remnlnlng preserve of the huge, the eerie, and tho monstrous left us. Un doubtedly this Is so. nnd, it it could be proved beyond possibility of doubt to morrow that 110 Sllch rent lie na n nn serpent ever existed, the marvels of I tho ,!. . . . .... w.t- ufi-ii-wd luuiui wouiu sun remain. Not but what I consider that the gi gantic cuttlefish Is even more marvel ous nnd awe Inspiring than nny imag inary sea serpent. At the Natural His tory museum a small specimen about three feet long (tentacles and all) may be seen. Go and look at it, and imag ine it increased to 23 times Its present size, and sny then whether you think that the mind of man ever conceived anything more calculated to make tho hair of your flesh stand up. Sea snakes there are, of couise, plenty of them, but the utmost limit of their size Is six feet In lenrrth Tlmv r, so closely alike to the land serpents I that thorp is considerable difficulty In I distinguishing them apart, and except ! that there are a fpv wpll.mnri.-pii ,nr. ferences, one would be Inclined to think they were land snakes taking n swim, especially as they are never seen far from shore. In tropical seas, too, ihirlng long calms, there are a great number of large serpentine shapes that rise to the surface of the stagnant waters .slugglnh, slimy, indefinite things that seem bred out of the general decompo sition around them. But these hnve no solidity: they aro mere plasma; and nny attempt to secure them only results In their melting away. The fancy naturally Inclines to the Idea of unthlnknble monsters Inhabiting the abysses of ocean an Idea splendidly worked out by Kipling in one of his stories but from what we know of the conditions of pressure, etc., at those vast depths, it Is Impossible to con ceive of any life inhabiting them. And what Is even more comforting, to those who go down to to the sea in ships, at any rate, Is the knowledge that if those tremendous depths were the abode of n horde of awful morsters, they would certainly not be able to live under the radically altered conditions existing it tho surface of the sea. A NOVEL BULL TIGHT. The Victim Takes the Offensive and Causes a Panic. Parrls r'orrospendent Lciulcn News. The world of fashion betook Itself to day to Deull, near Enghein, to see n real bull fight, in which the bulls wer to be killed. It was to be, moreover, a patriotic bull fight, as Robert Felix, a Landals, was to bo the !ir3t torero. Llaverlto and Lagartlllo were not to be so forward. The performance was greatly advertised, and meant to draw "la haute canaille" a nnme to which society, as represented by the White Carnation. Is, I fear, entitled and it must be said that the halt was geredlly snapped. Special trains were organiz ed, as for Chantllly on racing Sundays. AH the "mondalns," nil the sportsmen who wanted to flout the president by absenting themselves from Long champs, nil the elegant women, who seemed to sniff with dellc-ht tim l.ntni,. ery of bulls from afar, all the rifr.rnff from above and below, all the npnnio i who were curious to see what a patri otic bull fight on Spanish llnep was llkp, hastened to Deull. Tho circus was packed from tl'o boxes to the topmost round of seats. The circular gangway behind the pali sade wus so thronged that nobndi- could move in It. Instead of two rows i of high, paling, as In Spain, there was , oniy ono row, and it was not very high. In n Spanish arena the bull, when greatly teased, may Jump over tho row bordering the arena, but not over the second. He rushes round be tween the two paling suntll he comes to n gate, which Is thrown bnck. It stops his course, and. In flying back, opens a wide way to tho arena, into which the bull again goes. Kxpectatlon wns at its height today". Robert, the champion of Franco, did not wear the flat Spanish cap, but a Pyrcnenn beret, slightly on the side of his head. He and Llaverlto and Lag artlllo were greeted with deafening cheers. The bull, a fine animal, on on tcrlnir, nt onco rushed at the two to reros, who Jumped lightly aside, and then at a picador armed with a lance. A chula drew him off by nourishing a red capo before his eves. The bull wanted to get away, and cleared tho single paling at a bound. A panic en sued. The animal blindly rushed along, with head down nnd horns forward.

The shrieks, the rushing people, suddenly brought him to his senses, and he stopped short nnd looked goo-J-humoredly nbout, but a terrified lady cnugnt nun by a horn and another raised her parasol and hit him between the eyes with It. The poor animal bioko away again, and, finding his way down a passage, escaped Into the field In which the arena stands. It was filled with cycles. The bull tossed a lot of them about, and was sitting down to quietness when he found him self pursued by picadors, chulns, mata dors and toreros.gendarmes and police men, the latter armed with revolvers. Again the bull made off. There was a general discharge of pistols, but si wild was the firing that the wonder Is he only was shot. He made one more rush whpn wounded, got entangled In a wire fencp and foil. A bull fighter then stabbed him In the neck, and them was an end to the poor toro. The bull wns from the pastures of the Duke of Verngnn. He was named Ro mlto, and was black, powerful and long-horned. Romlto was one of those bulls that graze with sheep, and aro quiet as lambs unless teased. Before it left Spain it was taught to asso clato tho "Marseillaise" and "Carmen" with teasing, which shows that bulls can receive a kind of musical educa tion. Both nlrB were played yesterday before the door of the torll was swung back and Bomito bounded into the arena. The music. It appear, was on his nerves when lie leaped across tho palisade Into the laps of all people of a butcher and his wife. It is stated that the bull fights which are an nounced to take place next Sunday at Knghlen will be prohibited. The Drummer Was Diplomatic. Assistant Secretnry of State Thomas W.
