up this act by throwing the tlllaln through the
window to (he great satisfaction nf Ihe nudienee.
In the third act Pali again foils the Wllaln
several tliuea and pulls nn elevnlor up the shaft.
The villain has sought to rid himself of the
good .toung man, who lotes and Is lned by the
heroine, by letting: the eloalor In which he Is
leming the tllnlns apartment drop sK stories.
Some time later the elei.ilor Is needed and Dob

Theie is no doubt of I'it7.simnion.s' populatlty
with a Scranton audience, lie was given a great

Attractive Vaudeville.
If is a difficult matter sometimes to inform
cultured play-goers of the true character of an
euteitalmucnt that i.s new, and which, to the
uninitiated, seems closely allied to trade and
vulcar performances. The manager of the Vaude
ville Festival company, who will inaugurate the
opening of a scries of weekly events at Ihe
L.vceum on tomonow afternoon nnd evening,
ie.ili?es the difficulties attending the cnlcrprl.se.
rind which involvis the satisfying of exacting
people that only high-class artists nnd sketches
will be picsented.
Manager Burke, however, promises that the
sinie artistic quality of entertainments that
delight the cultured play-goers of Xew A'ork,
Ilostou, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore an I
oilier noted (owns, witli nearl.v the same people,
will be presented to Scrnntonians nt ench week
ly performance. He nlso dcsiics to especially
impiess upon all, the fact, that while the title
Kurke'a Vaudeville I'estivai will continue, an en
tile change of performances and artists will be
given each week, thus adding to the attractive
ness and pleasure. It is well understood that
within the pist two vears many of the dis
tingui'hed phvers have gone into vaudeville.
I'snallv they appear in twenty ot thirty minute
sketches, w-iitlrn especially for them and with
a view of biinging out their best work.
The singers aie of the best, both in voice and
inltme, while the ilmcers aie drawn from tliovo
who have earned flic highct f.ivor of critical
nudiemc. -Mr. Puiko .says the pioof of the
pmtding lies in the t.iste and he, therefore, de
siies that the I.jceum audiences tomorrow even
ing on the occasion of Ids opening vaudeville
peifoimances, shall be made up nt those win
iippii elate high-class art and clean, up-to-dati
and amusing interpretations.

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.
New York, Nov. 20. It Is not often that 1
movement In tin) stock market attains the vol
ume nnd the pike movement of that of today
In the Northern Paillla stocks. Today's nates
ol Northern Pacific foot up 20I,8(W shares tor
the common stuck and T.'.iWO shires for the pre
ferred slock, n total of 277,100 shares. The com.
mon stocW ioe an .extreme (i',1 and the pre
ferred li'.i. Varloui causes doubtless served )o
congest the speculation In these stocks, l-'or
one reason, there was but languid Interest In the
general market and tho ra-rtr uiniy of opera
tors and speculators who me watching for avail
able openings failed to find any until the move
ment In Notthcrn Pacific developed. The volume
and character of the dealings In the stocks, how
ever, precluded the Idea of a puiely speculative!
operation. "No authentic newn was disclosed tn
explain the movement, such tumois ns were hcaid
being piompted rather by the ellurt to explain
by guess work. It was allrgcd that it had been
cleteimlned to tetliu the preferied ntoik nt par
as the company has the right to do under the
Icinis of Its lsue. The faveiilte theor.v, how
ever, wiih that the bueing nf the Northern Pa
ri lie represents a process nf transfusion nf In
terests between tin1 dllferent tr.ins-eontinrntal
railroad lines or mole immediately the nui th
em nnd northwestern routes. Such a process Is
on tlic, lines of what lias already been neco'ii
pllshed on a large scale In the eastern trunk
line field nnd is in accordance with the best
accepted theory nf u solution ot conitctitivc
piohlenis In railroading. That some Important
development will be foilhrnming Is Indubitable,
The movement in Noithrrn Pacltle had ii domi
nant influence on the whole market and pulled
It up effectually from the reactionary tendency
which had overborne It during the early part
of the day, This was due to 'the continued
heavy piollt faking and to the very largo selling
for London account, nftcr a light buying move
ment for that account in the early dealings, tt
is believed that very large shipments of stocks,
especially of Northern Pacific, which have been
sold for foreign account since the election, arc
now on the ocean. This would create a, tempo
rary shortage In the supply available for boi row
ing purposes, and would add materially to tho
embarras.smentH of n short Interest. The profit
taking continued to a degree even nftcr the gen
eral tendency had become strongly upward, and
foine of tho prominent stocks practically failed
to respond at all. Tho movement in the iron
and steel stocks was exceeilfngly irregular anil a
number of other specialties, which have liaei re
eent notable advances hung back today. As a
consequent e the day's net changes were exceed
ingly uneven and not a few declines were mixed
In with tho notable gains. The conspicuously
strong stocks, besides the Northern Pacifies,
were tile Union Pacific, Great Northern pre
ferred, the Atchisons, Missouii Pacific, the Den.
ver and Rio Crande nnd the Ilalliinore anil Ohio.
Among the Industrials and specialties the Steel
and Wire stocks, Federal Steel anil TobaccoH,
People's (las, Sugar, North American and In
ternational Power were conspicuous. After n
shaip reaction on profit taking, tho Northern
Pacifies rallied, cariying tho whole market with
them antl the closing was very animated and
buovnnt nt about the top level. Total tales, 1,
.'12(1,100 shares. Profit taking was In evidence
in the bond market and prices are generally
lower. Total sales, par value, $.1,025,000. United
States 3s coupon declined Vt and the new 4s .
The old 4s advanced '.i per cent, on thu last call.
