THE GIBSON PICTURES.
Thoy Woro Prcsontod in ft Superb
Manner Last Night,
Probably no amateur entertainment
over given In this city has more thor
oughly pleased its patrons than tho
Gibson pictures, shown last night In
St. Luke's parish hall by a comml'tec
of Country club members, Thero was
an excellent house. The stage had
been raised by the nddltlon of tho
Country club stage to an nltltude
which cave a far better effect rom
the auditorium. The pictures were
beautifully staged and posed. Tho
greatest care was taken as to details,
and no bit of elegance In the way of
accessories was omitted. Mrs. II. II.
Ilrady, Jr., Mrs. It. M. Scranton, Mrs.
Clarence Sturges, Mrs. George G.
Ilrooks, Mrs. E. B. Jermyn constituted
the committee In charge of tho tab
leaux. They were materially assisted
by Mrs. II. J. Andeison, Mrs. K. I
Puller, A. G. Hunt, Selden H. Kings
bury, U. 12. Watson and others. The
Free Kindergarten committee consisted
of Mrs. It. J. Powell, Mrs. James Arch
bald, Mrs, K. U Fuller, Mrs. C. D.
Simpson, Mrs. W. W. Scranton, Mrs. J.
A. Price, Mrs. J. BenJ. Dlmmlck, Mrs.
C. S. "Weston and Miss Elizabeth
Howell.
"The Education of Mr. Plpp" was de
lightfully presented. Anybody more
meek and lowly than Mr. Merrill na
Mr. Plpp would be difficult to devise,
even by an ambitious mamma of two
beautiful daughters. The trip abroad
and its accompanying gaiety were
beautifully portrayed. Mrs. JamM
Archbald was one of tho best charac
ters In the entire cast. Her poses wete
inimitably good and tho expressions she
assumed could not have been surpassed
or scarcely equalled. Miss Anderson la
a typical Gibson girl, and can do tho
proud, Indifferent, swell American to
perfection. Miss Itomayne Soybolt was
an able second as tho other Miss Plpp.
The two wore magnificent gowns, and
their poses were exceedingly good.
Mrs. F. II. Jermyn wns an exquisite
Lady Viola, with her beauty and ani
mation. James Gardner Sanderson made up
most successfully In several roles, par
ticularly as the courier and other char
acters. Mr. Brady, Dr. Keller, 13, W.
Holland, F. P. Fuller, A. E. Hunt, jr.,
figured with fine effect in various tab
leaux. Messrs. Guerln and J. II. Brooks
made a great hit as a "Prince and a
Duke." The Misses Archbald. Messts.
J. ,Benj. Dlmmlck and M. B. Fuller
were among tho best Interpreters of the
Gibson cult.
Perhaps the dinner scene came in for
the chief applause, altnough "Tho Day
of the Race" and "In Paris" were close
seconds. The splendor of the ball loom
scene at Carony castle brought down
the house, and the occasion when Mr.
Plpp loses his way was among the
most amusing. Law Watklns in his
wooden sabots, and Edgar Coursen as
a typical garcon, Miss Elizabeth
Howell, Dr. Keller, Miss Chauneey
Beynolds and James G. Sanderson ap
pearing in this picture.
Others who helped to make up tho
magnificent ball room scene were Mli
Gertrude Sprague, Miss Elizabeth Bun
nell, Miss Frances Hunt, Miss Anno
Hand, Miss Eleanor Reynolds. The
lovely marriage scene finished the tab
leaux. The musical features were strong at
tractions. Mrs. Brady sang a number
of lovely songs In excellent voice,
among them being the Lullaby of Nor
dlca fame, the "Valentine" and "Love's
Season."
Miss Grace Spencer sang exquisitely
"The Rosarv," a Bolero, "May Morn
ing" and others. Mr. Williams, who Is
a great favorite, gave the "Two Grena
diers" with fine effect, -Oh. That We
Two Were Maying," etc. The duets of
Tuscan Folk Songs, by Mrs. Brady and
Miss Spencer, were among the distinct
pleasures of the evening. J. H. Brooks
and B. M, Scranton were ticket takers.
Messrs. Bliss, Thorne, Mott, Welles
and others were ushers.
That this superior entertainment has
been given exclusively by home talent,
with no outside expense for imported
assistance, shows the versatility and
enterprise of our people when they are
Interested,
BIO PIECE OF LUCK.
Ono Man Has Good Ronson to Con
gratulate Himself.
j-ncru is a man living in tno central
city whose name shall bo unmention
able, but who certainly yesterday had
as big a piece of luck as usually falls
to the lot of most ordlnnry men. He
started out from home eariy In the
morning with a big wad of about $300.
During the day he strayed from tho
path of rectitude to the extent of Im
bibing rather fteely and, falling in with
company to which, in point of speed,
Perry Belmont's famed racer, Ethel
bert, Is of ice wagon-like slowness.
To make a long story short he was
robbed of $2CS at 10 o'clock last night,
notified the police and fifteen minutes
later had his money back, and two
frowsled deml-mondes from tho Ten
derloin were lodged behind tho bars
of a cell In the Center street police
station. They will be given a hearing
this morning at which the fortunate
one will appear against them. The
women were arrested In the saloon at
Penn avenue and Center street.
SECOND AMERMAN WILL
Immediately on Its Receipt Colonel
Watres Hastens to Worcester.
A copy of the Amerman will, filed for
probate In Massachusetts last Monday,
was received here yesterday. What Its
contents are were not disclosed, but
that something surprising was con
tained, was evidenced by tho fact that
Colonel Watres, attorney for tho chil
dren and executor under the local will,
took the first train for Worcester.
Up to the time of the receipt of tho
will It was not his Intention to go to
Worcester until the time set for tho
hearing before the leglster in tho mat

Is June 1?.
There nie certain circumstances out

Colonel Watres' hasty trip. Of these"
circumstances he was ndvlFed by I1I3
Worcester correspondent, Attorney
Charles Wood. What they ore was not
given out by Colonel Watres, but from

NAY AUG PARK IS
RUIN BY ONE MAN
STATEMENT MADE BY COUN
OILMAN VAUfJHAN.
Claimed Last Night in Soloct Coun
cil That Poter Stlpp Is Favored by
Park Commissioners Liconso Tax
Ordlnanco Very Much Amendodby
Liconso Committoo and Mr. Oliver.
J. Goorgo Eiselo Appointed on
Board of Health to Succeed George
S. Horn.
The methods now employed In let
ting contracts for work to be done at
Nay Aug park called forth a few ex
tremely vigorous remarks last night In
select council from D. W. Vnuhan, tho
member from tho Nineteenth ward.
Councils recently passed a letter di
recting that In furture all proposals
for work to be done nt the various
parks bo received by tho city clerk,
opened by him In tho presence of coun
cils and all contracts for such work
awarded by. councils, Instead of by the
park commissioners, as at present. Tho
mayor sent In tho following communi
cation last night vetoing this resolu
tion: Scranton, Pa., Juno 7, 1IXX).
To the Honorable the Select and Common Coun
cils. Gtntlcmen: I herewith return without my ap
proval concurrent resolution directing the pirk
commissioner as to advertising and letting con
trails for the follow Inn reasons:
While I fully a?rec with jour honorable bodies
as to the correctness of the proposition In the
resolution, I am eatisflcel it would be unwise and
inexpedient either to pass or enforce such a
measure as now proposed. The pirk commission
ers should be allowtd considerable discretionary
power In expending, the mouejs set apart for
park purposes. I And they hae had work done
both by contract and by private agreement, or
rather had the work done under their own super
vision where It was nceessiry to have the same
done at once. All inoneji expended or "Wis
contracted by the park commission is laid before
jour honorable bodies and scrutinized by your
Joint auditing tommittie, and any matter tint
snlllelently clear will be cheerfully explained to
Jour satitficticn bj- the commissioners. Should
the provisions of this resolution prevail it would
seriously Interfile with and letard the park im
provements tliioiigli the delnjs incident to the
passage of ordinances covering so many minor
eletalls. In my opinion this measure is unneces
sary mid would be detrimental.
VAUGHAN'S REMARKS.
Mr. Chittenden moved that the reso
lution be passed over the mayor's head,
but befoie tho motion could be put
Mr. Vaughan arose to remark.
"That resolution ought to be passed,"
said he, "It's a shame the way things
are run nt Nay Aug park at present.
I understand that when the last con
tract wns let for work there only one
contractor was permitted to bid by
the commissioners. That contractor Is
Peter Stlpp and he seems to be the
man that's running the whole park.
Even tho people employed up there are
not citizens of the city; they're all from
Dunmore. It's about time that coun
cils had a little to say regarding the
spending of taxpayers' money at the
park."
The motion to pnss over the mayor's
veto was lost by the following vote, it
requiring fourteen votes to pass over
his veto:
VratCostello, lloche, Melvln, Fihneider, Rhea,
I.'elftone, MiCann, Oliver, demons, O'Dojle,
aughan, McAndrew 12.
Na8-Hcss, Thomas, Chittenden, Wogicr,

The Justly celebrated common coun
cil license tax ordinance was very
thoroughly amended on third reading.
The liivnso committee reported the
ordinance with a number of amend
ments, which were all ndopted In com
mittee on the whole after a deal of
sharp parliamentary debate.
Tho mon important of these amend
ments substitutes a live per cent, tax
upon the gross receipts of all street
railway companies, said tax to take
effect as soon as the ordinance goes
into effect, Instead of the one per
cent, tax adopted by common count II.
Another amendment increases tho
tax on gas, water, telephone, electric
llsht and power nnd steam heating
companies from $100 and $150 to $1,000
each. The other amendments offered
by the committee and adopted were:
Every owier of a hand organ or street piano,
01 0.
All hucksters selling fruit or vegetables not
of their own laislng, 813.
All perMins not regrlarly licensed merehants
selling fruit and vcfietablcs i,ot of their own
rjWng, !1S.
All patent medicines venders not regulaily
licensed mcriiiatits, 15.
MUST KEEP MOVING.
Another amendment provdles that
no huckster or street peddlar shall bo
allowed to locate his wagon within
IOC feet of a regularly licensed mer
chant's store and that they must not
remain for more than five minutes In
any one place. Still another amend
ment directs that th food Inspector
Inspect all scales and measures.
Mr. Oliver was veiy much annoyed
that these resolutions, which had been
offeri'd by the committee should have
been considered and adopted before he
could get a hearing. When they hael
been adopted, however, he offered fur
ther amendments.
His first batch of amendments pro
vided that every street railway, elec
tric light, gas and wuter, telephone,
electric power, and steam heat com
pany be taxeel two per cent, of their
gioss receipts. Council having dis
posed of these matters ii another
form, tho amendments were, on mo
tion of Mr, Oliver, laid on tho table.
He then Introduced u second batch,
with which he had more luck, all of
them being adopted. By these amend

MAYOR DEFIED A SECOND
TIME BY SELECT COUNCIL.
Sont in a Communication Vetoing
Resolution Requosting Him to Re
instate Spollman and Jonos Whoro
upon Council Immediately Adopt
ed a Socond Resolution Roltorat
ing the Request and Announcing
That in Its Opinion No Vacancies
on Polico Force Exist at Present.
Mayor Molr Is persistent In his re
fusal to reinstate Lieutenant Michael
J. Spellman and Patrolman I. F. Jones
on tho police force nnd select council
Is Just as persistent In Its refusal to
concur In their removAl. The mayor
sent the following letter to council last
night, returning the recently adopted
resolution calling upon him to reinstate
Spellman nnd Jones:
To the Honorable, the Select Council.
(lentlcmen: I herewith return resolution In
structing me to reinstate M. F. Spellman nnd
I. F. Jones en the polico force. I regret that I
rannot comply with -our request in this nutter.
On M.iy 17 I notified jour honorable body that
I hael removed M. F. Spellman, J. Peuster, and I.
F. Jones frtm the polite force for cause. Your
honorable body took action in one case mid I
presunu' found the cause sufficient as ou con.
firmetl the removal.
I would most reseclfiillj' remind your honor
able body that there aie still two vacancies on
the police force nnd that j-ou shouhl give j-our
earliest attention to filling the name.
Kerpcctfullj-,
James Molr, Mayor.
Several of the members were seen
to smile broadly when that portion of
the l.etter referring to the "sufficient
cause in one instance" was read. A
few moments after tho reading of the
communication Mr. Vaughan intro
duced the following resolution, which
was unanimously adopted, every mem
ber voting "yes" In a more than usu
ally hearty tone:
The city clerk is hereby instructed to Inform
his honor, the mij-or, that this bod has acted
on bis relent nominations of policemen and
that it criicurrcd with his honor In the : c
moval of Peuster and the appointment of Aeldy
man, but did rot concur In the removal of
Spellman and Jones and requested that they bo
restored to their respective positlens, which re
quest is now renewed. Therefore, in the opinion
of select council, there are no vacancies on the
police force of which it has anj' knowledge.
"On account of the determined stand
taken in this matter by council, and In
view of the fact that court has de
cided that the mayor cannot remove
without the concurrence of council,"
said a selectman, after last night's
meeting, "It Is difficult to see how the
mayor can refuse any longer to restore
these men to their former positions."
