THE SCRANTON TRIBUNK-SATURDAr, AUGUST

One Woman's Views.
THIS BURGLAR business Is stir
ring UP new alarms In tho fem
inine breast. Tho nvcrngo wo
man Is a crent deal more In fear of a
possible burglar than she Is of a pos
sibly uncomfortable hereafter. She
will do more thinking and shamming
j to confuse n burglar with her latest
' hiding place for valuables than to
foil tho artful enemy of mankind. The
pot-pourri-Jar, the French cloelT, the
baby's Uaster-rabblt and tho pin
cushion are no more considered safe
deposit vaults. To find new places
of concealment Is a study to which
she Is willing to devote much of tbe
time she used to spend In plann'ng
gowns to wear nt summer resorts.
In fact one young matron declared
early In the season: "I'm not going
nway this summer. I shall stay at
homo nnd watch tho house and see
that tho burglars don't get In and turn
everything topsy turvey. They
couldn't really steal anything you
know, except tome plated stuff, for
"we don't keep such things at home
any more. Yes, we gave a dinner the
t ' other night and 1 was positively
ashamed of the spoons. The plate
was all worn off, but I don't Intend
to have my good ones taken by any
old burglar who won't care whether
they nro my lovely npo3tlo spoons, ev
ery one different, or those Aunt
v Mary brought from China. I'oor
Aunt Mary, she was to bring me an
embroidered white crepe next time
and here I don't know but that she
. has been boiled, or some other ter
rible fate has happened to her."
"As I was Faying, wo haven't any
thing In the house burglais would
want unless It Is Toddy, our Angora
cat, bless him! but I don't Intend
. leaving the place alone for them to
claw everything out of the bureau
drawers. They're all In order now
and I should be frightfully angry If I
had to po about setting the whole
. house to lights while It is so hot."
So she stayed at home and one
morning while she was down In th
laundry a burglar walked In the front
door which she had left conveniently
open, clawed everything out of the
bureau drawers and the closets and.
so she still insists, stole a pair of
openwork silk stockings. "My wed
ding stockings," she tearfully repeats,
and yet she stayed at homo to watch
the house nnd lost a month's visit at
the shore. The police arrived on the
scene th enext day and couldn't find
the sneak-thlef. Tho family has now
decided to employ a good watch dog,
which is probably about the best pro
tection In Sctanton.
Tho Saturday closing movement has
broken out in an unexpected way.
Probably next season there will be no
largo drygood stores open on Saturday
nfternoon and evening dining July
and August. Thus far the only dry
goods flrm which has taken aggress
ive steps In the matter is th.it of
Connolly & Wallace and oddly enough
those proprietors decided to close dur
ing the present month without nny
solicitation from other Arms and with
no understanding that others will fol
low their example. It means the loss
of 12,000 or more for the month but Is
doubtless the only method by which
a general closing can be secured. It is
practically impossible to gain unani
mous co-operation In this mat
ter -without some one taking the
lead. Shoppers can Just as well ar
range to make their purchases
previously as to wait until Saturday
afternoon and night.
Men are the worst offenders In this
respect. They may be down town ev
ery day In tho week. May have plen
ty of leisure and can Just as well run
Into a shop at any time, but they aie
certain to develop a yearning for new
ties, new stockings and hats on Sat
urday night. If the public real
ly desires to see tho hard
working clerks get a half holiday dur

WEARS & HAGEN,
ing the hot months, It Is the easiest
thing In tho world to make the step
an assured one.
There was a very much disturbed
Italian down at tho corner of Lncka
wanna avenue the other day. He was
dancing madly up and down nnd ut
tering a scries of bulfroggy trills
which wero evidently Intended for Im
precations In his native tongue. Tho
original cause of tho commotion was
a big gray rat. Ho had been Indis
creet. It wns all on account of a par
ticularly succulent and odoriferous
piece of beef, embalmed or otherwise,
and ho had neglected to note whether
tho means of exit were as convenient
as had been tho broad and capacious
apeiature Inviting him within. Hence
his present dlllleultles. A large crowd
of boys nnd men wero there to lend
him non-assistance. The scene became
very lively and when tho women
passers realized the cause of the ex
citement Immediately began an illus
tration of the separation of the sheep
from the goats. The men all ran
toward tho rat celebration, the women
hied themselves the other way.
One woman wns -pretty near the
centio of tho conlllct. She was a
large peison nnd she had her arms
full of paicels. Nobody would have
expected her to be the possessor of so
much ability as she suddenly evinced
for it was apparent that she wouldn't
make a record as a sprinter. But the
rat was running her way and before
tho Italian fruit vender had time to
tell her not to do It tihe had made a
mighty spring nnd had landed among
his peaches and plums and other
wares not intended for rough hand
ling. In the midst of these she seated
herself. Then It was that tho
wretched owner began his vociferous
objections to the vast diversion of the
crowd. Then It was that his ratshlp
made a last despeiatc leap for liberty
and found it. Saucy Hess.

become Mrs. K. W. Crclin, and will (settle
down In San Francisco. She arrived in that
city Wednesday night from French Licit, Intl.,
where she has been taking a two weeks' rest.
With her came Mr. Crellln, who had gone as
far as Ogden to meet her. Asked when she would
marry, Miss d'Arvillc replied: "l'erhaps in Sep
timber, perhaps In October; marriages Is a se
rious step. 1 have been independent so long I
like my Indepmdenec. When I nm married I
shall givo up the stage for Rood. It is Mr. Crcl
lln's wish, nnd, well, a womm cannot be a
domestic woman and a public woman at the
same time, and I om fond of domesticity, J
really am." Mr. Crellln Is tho son of the
president ot tho Morgan Oyster conipanj, and is
himself manager of a vlncjard.
It is almost impossible to imagine "Foxy
Qulllcr" Sykes playing a heavy villain in a
"straight" dramatic production, but he ome
did it for two seasons, supporting Newton lieors
in "I'.noeli Arden" nnd n nperlolre. This was
Just befoio he nnd "Punch" Wheeler tloitcd the
Alcazar Opera company, with which they had
numerous: adventures In Texas and Mcxiio.
I'lajlng "Kiioc.li Arden" in a Kansas town, tiny
found the theater had no nea-drop barking for
the wreck scene. The compiny carried a n-v-doth,
but no drop. As a last resort they bad
to work the sea-doth against a balking of
kitchen flats. Every time tho lightning flashed
it revealed the wreck tciurrlng inside a kitchen.
Mr. Sjkcs said he was too much In earnest to
realise it thin, but the pciforinaiices of that
compiny were funnier than any farce comedy
ever staged.
The complete cat for "A rtoyal Family,"
which will be produced nt the Ljceum on Sept.
B, was announced jestenlay. Annie Hium II
will enact a princess nnd will be wooed by
Charles Itlcliman as a prince in clitrulo. Mm.
G. II. Gilbert will be the ro.val maiden's grand
mother, and Orrin Johnson, W, II. Thompson,
Chailrs W. liutler, Mabel Morrison, Itobert
Hickman, George Irving and Itlchard Dennett
D'Orsey will hive the other rromincnt
parts. Mr. D'Orsey is an Englishman who vis
ited us four years ago In a George Kdwatds com
pany In "An Artist's Model." "A Royal
Family" will soon be put into rehearsal and so
will "Itlchard Carvel," which will have John
Drew and Ida Conquest instead of James K.
Ilackett and Bertha Galland as its principal nc
tors. Isabel Irvine will not be with Mr. Drew
the coming season.
Tim Murphv's vaudeville specialty used to be
imitations of well-known actors, nnd one of
them was Sol Smith Itussell. Now Murphy is
to take Russell's roles In several plays fornurly
used by that now disabled actor. Some months
before Charles Coghlan died he was on a west
ern tour with "The Royal riox," but frequently
unable to emct his part in it. As such times
Andrew Itnlwnn took it and was so like the inli
ne nt actor that In Ihe smaller cities the sub
stitute was not known. Now Mr. ltobs.ui will
go out as n ft.ir in the role. Charles ('nghl.iii
made a pliy from " Vault) Fair" Ju,t In fore
his death. He Intended to en let lUwdon Craw
ley and assign his daughter to Ileikj. This
"Ilecky Slurp" is to be produced ii'.it season
with Miss Coghlan In it, and possibly Maurice
Ilarrvmorc as the husband, which would enable
lilm to expand the sketch which he gave In the
version with Minnie Middcrn Fiske to an im
portant character.
"Ilen-llin" begins Its second sea-sun nt the
Ilroadway theater .Mondiy evening, Sept. .1,
where it will play a limited engagement of flv,.
weeks. Its ktiy will be tut short by contracts
made a year ago, which cannot be cancelled.
Wne it not tor these obslaeles "Iten-lliir" eould
undoubtedly run the entire siaMin at the Ilroad
way to the same great patronage it rounded
list i-eason. Monday evening, (let. ), "II, n
llur" will brgin a limited engagement at the
Chestnut Street Opera Ilou.o in Philadelphia.
Nixon it Zimmimin are making very extensive
and expensive alterations in the stage of tins
theater for this attraction. Those inipnnim. nu
will necessitate an outlay of over MO.nuo. 1
stage will be raised, and biniilmed and deep
encel to provide the necessary room. "Hen Hur"
will remain in Philadelphia till the new t'olonnl
theater in Itnston, now being built on the site
of the old public library bidding, nt Tremont and
Uo.vMdii streets, is ready to receive it, wheie it
will undoubtedly run the rest ot tho season.

all the shoes that are good enough and cheap enough to

No Such Sale
Was Ever
We have made a tremendous purchase of Footwear; probably four times the quantity that has
ever been brought to Scranton in a single shipment. We bought them for spot cash and for HALF
their regular price; so when Saturday morning dawns we shall begin the sensational Shoe Sale of the
year, and it will last just as long as the shoes are here, Possibly two or three weeks, for there are
many thousand pairs.
Women's
We have had three phenomenally successful Shoe Sales during this year. The Shoes which we
offer at these special sales bring success to our Shoe department. The more shoe sales, the more suc

to see better one's at the price.
3. We have devoted six massive windows on Lackawanna
Avenue to the showing of some of these. Our window artist
has done his best, and many of you have looked in amazement
at the great congress of Footwear. It is but a thought of what
is in the store a "drop in the bucket" if we might so put it.
4. We stand back of every pair. The maker stands back
of us. We guarantee them to give most thorough and satisfac
tory service. If they do not your money back cheerfully and
no questions asked. But let us say right here we know that
you will be pleased with their wearing qualities. They are the
standard by which all other three dollar and three dollar and a
