Changes from Dumas' Orlglnnl Story The theatrical season In London and New York last year witnessed a "Mus keteer" craze. Beerbohm Tree In Eng land nnd James O'Neill In America were the two stars responsible for the fnd. Tho version they used was the most successful of nil, by Sydney Grundy, nnd Is the one In which Mr. O'Neill will shortly be seen here. It Is said to be so much superior to tho other tales, seen from a dramatic standpoint. Tho play Is not In acts but In ten tableaux, thus affording tho scenic artists fine opportunity for clov er work. Llebler & Co., the managers, took full advantage of this fact, as they engaged the five best artists In New York to execute the scenery nnd spent nearly $50,000 on the production, before the curtain rose on tho first night nt the Broadway theater. The play closes with a court ball that for brilliancy of seenle decorations nnd costliness of costumes Is said never to have had Its equal on the American stage. Mr. O'Neill will bo seen at the Lyceum Christmas afternoon nnd evening. The Elrcy Stock Company. There have been repertoire compan ies galore In Scranton, but few who have made so favorable an Impression as the Elroy Stock company, which will open a week's engagement on next Monday at the Academy of Music. For Christmas matinee they will pre sent Edwin Mlltan Royle's charming comedy of "Fi lends." Christmas night, that grand scenic production, "Land of the. Midnight Sun." will be offered with a wealth of new scenery nnd me chanical effects. Manager 'Elroy does not depend on one or two so-called stars to give a performance, but every mpmber Is selected with special care. The popu lar young nctor, J. Frank Burke, will be seen to excellent advantage . the coming week In a fine line of heroic roles. There will be dally matinees and change of play at each perform ance. The American Gaiety Girls. The American Gaiety Girls rill be the attraction at the Gaiety the first three days of next week, opening on Christmas matinee. 7vis gay com pany of burlesquors will present two new and up-to-date burlesques on the French order and the disrobing scene from "Orange Blossoms" will Introduce May Alolne, one of the most shapely burlesquers now on tho stage. In the opening skit ten handsome auburn haired chorus girls In hand some costumes will bo heard In popu lar melodies nnd the comedians will bo seen In comical situations In the olio. In the closing burlesque, ten orien tal dancers are a feature and the handsome costumes worn are direct from the orient. "At Piney Ridge." The attraction at the Lyceum next Tuesday will be David Wiggins' great southern play, "At Plney Ridge," with the author in the stellar role of Jack Rose. Much has been said of this nat ural nnd life-like play and It has been named the "Shore Acres" of the South. The plot of the play hinges on Un charge brought against Jack Rose, a young mountaineer, that he has negro blood in his veins, made at a time when he is about to become engaged to the daughter of a Tennessee bank er, for the purpose of breaking the engagement. Mr. Hlgglns will appear In his orig inal character of Jack Rose, the young mountaineer, a part In which he has been commended In the highest terms, nnd no less a fine piece of acting Is done by Georgia Waldron. as Cindy Lane, the mountain girl. The entire company is one of unusual merit. BLUSHING A DISEASE. French Savant Says It Is Due to Erenthophobla or Erythrophobla. From Pu.iicn's Weekly. The ger.ernl Idea that blushing Is due to fullness of blood In the brain Is Incorrect, according to the now theory of a French expert. It arisen from the relaxation of the arteries cf the face, neck and breast, thus allowing an ex tra quantity of blood to rush to the skin. Those arteries have In their walls a layer of rings and muscular fiber, which contract or relax accord ing to the condition of the patient, and so permit the arteries to become more or less full of blood. When they are extra full, which occurs In weakneps, the patient blushes. Blushes are more liable tn redden In damp or stormy weather than In the cold days of winter or the hot dnys of summer. If this glowing of the faro were the result of emotion, why thin difference? If It be due to weakness the fact assumes the appearnnco of probability. There are two closely allied c nuseit of blushing. Ono Is named "ereutho phobla;" that Is the ordinary cause weakness, and the extreme sensitive ness nnd other conditions caused by It. The other Is designated "erythropho bla," nnd Is tho fear that one will blush unconsciously nt nwkward moments. The latter Is a peculiar form of the disease. The Individual In question, ilthough not given to blushing, be comes gradually possessed with a fear that ho will do so at sime Inopportune time, nnd this fear grows upon him un til it completely masters him and makes him grow red in the face wh-.-u there Is not the slightest reason for It. At the most simple question the color rises and ho Is placed In the most ab surd situation. Ho Is louked upon with suspicion, because other people accept bis confusion as consciousness of guilt; he recognizes the fact, and, of course, his condition giowH worse. Weakness Is responsible In this case also for the deplorable state of things, for when Health hi io to Weak Men.

It must be n very, strong emotion that causes a flush to come to the face of a really healthy man or woman. Whatever they may feel, they will no: show It any more than they will show fear when confronted by great dan ger. In the hitter case there Is no doubt about the danger; It Is fully under stood that there may be a feeling of fear within, but It is not shown by the face.
