"The Dairy Farm," a story of lural life in New York state half a century oi to ago, began a return engagement at the Ljieum last night before an audience that expressed much apprecla tlon and delight with the woik ol Miss Eleanor Mcrron, who wrote the pl.iy and enacts the leading role in it most cleverly. The scene of "The Dairy Farm" Is laid in Hurley, a quaint one-street village in Ulster county, New York. The time is ante-bellum. Tho characters are of the sort that crystallize In simplest countiy life. Nathan Ncwkirk Is the nephew of Squire Hurley. The squire takes oc casion on Christmas etc to announce to his guests that his nephev is to marry Miss Per kins, tho village heiress. The squire has ar-nualr-tcd the young man with h's wishes, but be Las neglecled to draw out the joung man on the subject. This an excellent opportunity and the young man embraces it. He fays, as politely as the strained situation admits. Miss Perkins being present, that he declines an honor the heiress has not yet granted him, and Introduces instead tho girl whom he intends to make his wife. She Is I.ucy Krum, the dlscaidcd niece of the village miser. Squire Hurley flics into a Aery imbc ccmlng temper. Ho says such unexpected thing! that the guests leave in a body and soon after ward Nathan Ncwklrk and Lucy Krum go forth, hand in band, Into the woild, to seek their for tune. It proves a good fortune. Nathan New Mrk has become a newspaper man a rising law yer and active politlcnn. He has espoused the cause of the Free Boilers and conies back to Hurley to ppfak for John C. Fremont which he docs In fiont of the village postoiBce. He hears that Simon Krum is about to foreclose a mort gage on Squire Hurley's home, "The Daily Farm." Simon Krum and Nathan New kirk liavo a bitter quarrel. Krun U found dead an hour later with bis skull crushed In by a hca y sti.ne thrown by some vergefut hand. Nathan Newklrk Is suspected of the muider. Now be gins that quick unravcllilg which Providence works out in two or three decades, but play wrights accomplish In as many seconds. The fugitive slac who Simon Krum has re sold Into bondage appears and tell, the pcopio of Hurley that bo killed the misci. Then lively Araminta turn good fairy and produces a tin box belonging to Simon Krum, which she had hidden in a forgotten moment of mischief, two years before. There were documents in the tin box which proved that the mortgage on the Dairy I'arm was fraudulent. Nathan and his wife come in Just at the moment and forgive and are forgiven by the squire. Miss Perkins" pride, ro ciuclly bumbled two years before, is rehabilitat ed by her bethrothal to the village dominie. The play Is In four sets, all elaborately staged. A fine company headed by James II. Walllck presented the play last night. Besides Mr. Wal lick and Miss Merron aoino of the most capable members of the company were Jean t'lara Wal ters, Edwin Meyer, Katharine Carljlc and Sey mour Stratton. The play will bo again pre sented at the Lyceum tonight. "The Burglar" Tonight. At the Academy of Muslo tonight the com pany beaded by Little Irene Mjcrs will present "The Burglar." This afternoon the bill will be "The Golden riow," A Renowned Company. The Talgcs, accompanied by their own com pny, comprising eighteen dramtlc and audcvllle artists, will open a week's engagement at the Academy of Music, Monday, April S3, piesentlng a change of bill at each performance. The com pany is strongly iccominendcd by the press and the theater management throughout the west as one of the bet popular ptire attractlona In that section. The play selected for the introduc tion of the company to Scranton's theater goers is the strong melodrama, entitled "Two Nights in Home," a performance that is calculated to please the most blase. Lillian I'algc will Inter pret the role of "Stephanie," and be supported by a ta.t who aro specially adapted to their re spective characters. "Two Nights In Home" is one of the strongest acting Mils in the company's repertoire, and is constructed In such a manner as to please every lover of dramatic work. Al though a spicy vein ol comedy runs throughout the plot there is said to rxlst none of the so called "horse-play" In its make-up. In addition to presenting notable dramatic creations, the coravany will offer a continuous petfonnaner. In other words, thoso usual tiresome curtain waits will be entirely eliminated by tho Introduction between acts of tmlneiit vaudeilllle artists. Trices, 10, .20 and SO cents .except Monday night, ou which occasion ladles will bo admitted to best reserved seats for 15 cents. HE KNEW THE SEX. For the first time In his life Fred Maxwell was In love, and, like all first attacks, It was a serious case. It wan of the kind, that made him forcet the hours for meals, and even tho exist ence of his fond parents was a vacuo thing In his mind. Aside from his neglect of his par ents, Fred forgot he was a member of a Juvenile base ball club; his cherished foot hall courted spider webs In a dark corner of the basement, and ho ab-sented-mlndedly gave away all of his marbles to his little cousin. And even his new watch was inspected only two or three times dally. But he was In love, and the first time at that. And then, one day, the bright tints on tho sky of his early love changed to a gloomy, dark woolly irreen sunset, and his bubbling affection was pierced by many pangs of Jealousy. Ills sweet heart began to show signs of fickle ness; she proposed to "shake him" be cause ho was what the boys were) pleased to specify "dead slow." in his distress Fred turned to his bachelor uncle, who was versed in tho ways of tho world and most things in it, and In him the boy found a sympa thetic and cheerful listener, whose sol emn countenance never onco betrayed a line of mirth while the tale of woo was unfolded. "You see," Fred explained, "Dclolse, who Is my girl, was at a arty last night and Charlie Mack was thick with her. There were lots of games with forfeits and she paid several with him, but I didn't say nothing until, during a game of 'postonicc,' I heard her and Charlie canceling stamps outside the door like everything. Afterward I told her It wasn't fair, and she laughed at me. Then wo went home." "Did you kiss her going home?" his uncle Inquired. "No; I didn't have a chance." "Were you not alone with her?" "Yes, but" "Did you kiss her after you reached her home?" "No." "Why. didn't you?" "Well, the electric light Is too bright near there." "Humph! Isn't there a tree or a telephone polo In front of her house?" "Yes, but what" "Couldn't you have sneaked tho girl Into tho shadows and kissed her as she wanted you to?" "But how do you know she wanted me to kiss her?" Ills uncle gestlculatedto high heaven. "Didn't you nolice that she looked up to the windows and remarked that the folk3 were all In bed and asleep? Didn't she scan the street closely and then edge softly Into the darkness of the electric light shadows and become silent as if she had some great emb lem on her mind?" "I believe so, but I didn't think" "Of course not; you are not a chump, but you are atrociously young." "And today," Fred hurried on, for he was anxious to get away from the memories of the previous night and opportunities lost, "she sent me a note In school with another one from Charlie Mack, and but I'm going to lick him!" "What for?" his uncle asked. "For trying to steal my girl." "O! But how do you know he Is at tempting such grand larceny? And ate you sure you can whip him?" Fred produced two notes in answer to the first question and sniffed at tie last. Delolse's letter: Dear Fred: I have got an offer from Charlie Mack, asking me to be his girl, and I may ac cept him if I don't get any more. I won't de cide, though, for two or three days. Didn't we have a fine time at the party? Are you going to Itertha's party on Saturday night? I've got to get my history lesson, so good by. Yours with love. Delolse. Her succinct "offer" from Charlie Mack: Dear PeIoirc: Please aciept the offer of being my girl. Yours truly, Charlie Mack. "Now what am I to do?" Freddie asked, but his uncle had suddenly dis covered a frog In his throat and gent choking from the room. Thursday night Freddie again came to his uncle with a letter In his hand and a tearful countenance. His une'e took the letter and read: Dear Fred: I'c accepted Chailie's offer be cause it came first and am going to Bertha's party with him Saturday night. Are you mad? 11 line and tell me so if you are mad. I must hurry now and get my rhctoiic lesson. Cood bje. In haste, Delolse. I. S. He sure and let mo know If you arc mad, "Young man," Freddie's uncle began, after he had read the letter, "you yai Bess a prodigious quantity of love and a deplorable absence of finesse. This young woman, true to the instincts of her sex, is leading you a chase, and you now have the chance of giving her 'a run for her money.' Take your pencil and I'll dictate a letter which you'll afterward copy and send to her tomorrow In school." "My Dear Delolse," her uncle dictated, "by all means go witn Charlie; he is a good fellow, and I hope you'll go witli him a long time. Mad? Of course not. Why, the idea! I shouldn't think of minding a little thing like that. Al ways your friend, Fred Maxwell. "But, Uncle eGorge, I don't under stand It," Freddlo protested. "I dare say you don't," his uncle retorted. "But the girl will. She is several sears In advance of you In comprehension." Friday night Freddie informed his uncle that Delolso walked besldo him from school and scarcely noticed her "accepted fellow." Sunday morning; he camo bustling Into his uncle's room with beaming face and excitement sticking out all over him. "I went home from the party with Delolse last nlgttt, and Charlie Mack is awful mad. He took her there, and I sat beside her all the evenlnc she followed mo all around, and we ato supper together. Charlie followed us home, but we ran around the house, and I kissed her when we got In the doorway. And she said she was only Joking about being Charlie's girl." Uncle George smiled a peculiar smile. Ho knew the sex. Before tho church bells had clanged that morning, Charlie's little brother came to the back door and gave Freddlo the following note: Fred Maxwell! If you want to fight, meet me behind old Stevens' wood pile, Yours truly, Charlie Mack. From his window Uncle George watched his nephew meet tho rival be hind tho woodpile. Ho saw their lips move, arms wave ana reet stamp. Presently a finger was agltate1 In close proximity to a face, and the ac tion precipitated a blow, which was quickly followed up by many. When the meeting had resolved Itself Into a series of blows, kicks, bites, "wrast lliiB," and halrpulling Uncle Georgo resumed his Sunday paper, remarking to himself, "Well, there's a woman in It, as usual," And he smiled again ho knew the sex. Five years later Delolse stood at tho eame windo-'fceip which Uncle.
