COUNCILS TO
TAKE HOLD
WILL CONSIDER AMENDMENTS
TO RIPPER BILL.
The Democratic Members Believe
That the Legislative Committee
Has No Right to Have Its Amend
ments Introduced in the Legisla
ture Until They Are Approved by
Councils Special Meetings to Be
Called for Monday Night Mr.
Chittenden I" Greatly Disgusted.
Theie nic more complications to the
local end of the nt'cnnd class city IckW
hitlon pioblotn about due. A number
of the members of both branches of
councils huvr- decided that the amend
ments to the "ripper" bill prepared by
tby rounrllmnnlc committee should bo
niiproved by councils before belnu; pre
sented to the legislature nnd with this
end In view Kpeclul meetings of both
branches are being planned for ne.v:
Monday nlidit.
President Calplu, of the common
council, mnli-d yesterday to a Tribune
man that flvo members of that branch
had signed a call for a meeting on
Monday night and that he would Is
sue the call for the meeting1 today.
Ho further stated that a movement
was on foot to have a special meet
ing of the select council called for
that night also.
"I don't believe," said Mr. Cnlpln,
"that this legislative committee hns
any right or power to go ahead and
prepare, these amendments without te
portlng them back to councils before
they are Introduced In the legislature.
I don't think that the resolution pro
viding for their appointment gave
them any such power or implied any
such power.
"Senator Vaughan, who left this
morning for Ilarrlsburg, has given mo
to understand that he will not fel
himself bound to support the commit
tee's amendments unless they receive
the approval of councils, and for that
reason I deem It absolutely necessary
to have them considered by councils."
CHITTENDEN DISGUSTED.
Chairman Chittenden, of the councll
manlc committee, appeared to be very
much disgusted when told of the Idea.
"Well, well," said he, "now we're In
for It. Talk about your united senti
ment and your harmony, and all that
sort of thing. There will be a lot of
it at those meetings, If they are called,
and I hopo they will not be. If they
are, I am afraid that we might Just
as well give the whole thing up.
"It was hard enough, goodness
knows, to get the six members of the
committee agreed on certain amend
ments, without trying to get forty-two
good men and true agreed upon any
thing. Tho resolution directing tha
appointment of this committee gave It
the Implied power to act, but I sup
pose If they Insist upon having us
report back tho amendments, that
we'll havo to. It wag delegated power
nnd can, 1 suppose, be recalled.
"The Democrats, who are engineer
ing this movement, havo no reason to
Complain. T-hey had an equal repre

THE
sentation on tho committee, which was
strictly bi-partisan, there being three
Democrats a'nd three Republicans on
It. They had Mr. Roche, who Is one
of the best and ablest students of
municipal nffahs In tho city, on the
committee, and, us I said before, havo
no reason to kick.
"The hearing on the "ripper" bill Is
to bo next Wednesday, nnd we've, got
to agree on something before then.
You can say that tho members of tho
committee will light for their amend
ments to a finish, If they are brought
up In councils. I hopo they won't be,
because I think It would be detrimen
tal to the best Interests of this city
to have any changes made, such as 1
believe an attempt will be made to
have ctfected, If they come up In coun
cils. THEY WANT MOItE POWER.
"I have no doubt that they will try
to have amendments adopted giving
councils the power of electing certain
nftlrlals, as under tho present second
clas. city law. The sentiment of tha
repicsentatlve people of this city Is
ncnlnst this plan and In favor of cen
tering tho power of appointment In
tho mayor, and! that sentiment should
and mudt prevail.
"Just ponder over the complication')
If councils decide upon amendments
directly opposite to those decided upon
by the members of the committee.
What can we reasonably expect from
the legislature If we have two crowds,
one pulling directly against tho other?
Nothing nt all."
P.efore the announcement of the pro
posed calling of these special meetings,
tho members of the commltteo had vir
tually agreed to go down to Harris
burg In a body on Wednesday next to
appear before the senate committee on
municipalities. Mr. Chittenden, who
was opposed to the Idea at first, was
won over yesterday morning by City
Solicitor A'osburg nnd one or two of
tho other members who favor tho plan.
Mr. Vosburg's contention Is that
Scranton should be as well represented
at the hearing ns either Pittsburg or
Allegheny, and that It would not ba
adviRablo to send just himself down.
Ho behoves that If thero was not a
decent-sized delegation representing
this city, that the members of tho
committee might be led to believe that
Scranton didn't have much Interest In
tho bill.

PROF. COLES FOR FEBRUARY.
From Storms and SIgrs.
We wish to return thanks for the
many complimentary notices we have
received from the press relative to our
January predictions fulfilled. Old Red
Warrior Mars certainly did make
things lively fo this mundane sphere;
and, he will continue to annoy nnd af
flict us .during the current month; also
during the month of March; and we
shall be fortunate Indeed If we escape
a national calamity. Earth will pass
directly between Mars and the Sun on
tho 21st Inst., and will cause an eclipse
on Mars but don't tell Tesla. Ah Mars
Is passing through Sign Virgo, which
rules Turkey In Asia and Europe,
Switzerland and tho West Indies, we
may look for great aflllctlon In these
countries. Mars can be seen in tho
eastern horizon at bed-time shining out
llko a bright red light, shining with a
steady light which distinguishes It
from the fixed stars. Mars In Virgo
makes men very hasty Inltable, often
deceitful and revengeful; quite original
In nature, and full of bold and sclen
tillo enterprises; and causes many dis
eases of the stomach nnd the bowels.
THE STORMS AND SIGNS.
Ureat sunspots have been forming
over the face of the Sun during the
past three months, causing the sun's
rays to shine with doubled force In
many sections of tho country, result
ing In summer-like weather; while
other sections were In the throes of
blizzards and hurricanes for the want
of thesu stray rays. We have reasons
to believe that there will bo two or
three breaks In these sun spots during
the current month, and will cause de
structive storms. The first break we
believe will occur some time between
the 3d and 12th; and the second be
tween the 15th and 25th. These sun
spots will cause phenomenal weather
both In America and In tho Old Coun
try. If these breaks do not appear, and
tho sun spots still continue to Increase
In size, they "will cause a widespread
and destructive storm to sweep over
land nnd sea, a storm that will do un
told damage and cause tho loss of
many lives. Let sailors take warning.
Tho southern states will be In danger
of a blizzard.
COMING EVENTS.
Another large comet Is headed for
earth, and will be sighted by the big
telescopes sometime during the current
month, or In the month of March.
Watch out for brilliant northern lights,
as the sunruys, on account of the sun
spots, will be doubled In that direction.
Small-pox, skin diseases and stomach
troubles will Increaso during tho cur
rent month nnd cause much alarm. A
new disease will appear In muny sec
tions; a cross between the chicken-pox
and tho small-pox; a combination of
tho Mars-Saturn sort of affliction. Ac
cidents, conflagrations, mine caves,
massacres and crimes of the darkest
hues will continue to go on under the
reign of the old redwarrlor,' Mars. But
COMPANY AWARDED A GOLD MEDAL
Branch
the world is continually growing bet
ter, for the human family nre more In
clined to argue and arbitrate than
fight like the ancients did when Mars
Influenced them to shed blood. Yet we
find many on the lower plane, In this
generation, who are always ready to
use physical force when Mars demands
them to do so! The combined force of
capital will make some exciting times
In tho business world. American for
prosperity, as 18 out of tho 28 days of
February, 1901, will be High Flood days
for her.
VALUABLE INFORMATION.
The best days to perform surgical
operations during the current month
will be the 20th, 23d and 2Sth; and tho
next best days will be the 1st. Oth. 10th,
11th, 15th, 16th and 19th. If physicians
nnd surgeons would familiarize them
selves with this subject they would
save many lives and much needless
suffering. Never perform a surgical
operation when the moon Is passing
through the sign In which the subject
was born. Wednesday, the 20th. will
be a good strong day for all those born
in Sign Pisces; the best day of the
whole month to begin any new under
taking. The best days to kill pork,
beef, etc., will be the 20th, 21st and 22d,
23r, 25th nnd 2Sth; nnd the next best
days will be the 1st, 2d and 11th. Do
not kill at any time between the 2d
and 9th, as the flesh of nil animal kind
will bo undergoing a change at that
time, and will not be In proper condi
tion to be eaten by man. For when to
trlnr grape vines, trees, and all such
valuable Information send ten cents to
Prof. C. Coles, Kingston, Pa., and get a
copy of his Htorms and Signs.

"A Free Lance."
There is no character, probably, that appeal
04 forcibly to thcater-gous of every claw an that
of the hero who ii really a, hero, tho gallant
Knight of the old romantic days, handsome, val
orous and daring, ever ready for u Joust and
wishing an danger for the sake of his lady low
This Is a character that fiuickens. the pulse of
even the most Mars; and calls forth the aspiration
of tho gentler sex. All tho world looks up to
tliU sort of man, the finest type that history re
veals. In the portuyal of such characters Robert
D. Mantell stands foremost and alone. He has
won his position by a succession of splendid per
formances in which great dramatic ability have
been combined with a fine physique and a mag
netic personality.
It Is tho opinion of Mr. Mantell and hU man
ager, M. W. Hanlcy, that "A Free Lance," the
new play that he la presenting this season, gives
him the bent rolo lie lias yet had. lhe play
deals with Germany in medieval times and is
both original and strong In story. It it mounted
lavishly, tho scenery and costumes being of re
markable magnificence. At the Lyceum thin af

All those who saw "All On Account of 1:IIm,"

PLAYS AND PLAYERS.
Sarah Bernhardt must have read that she Is
the greatest actress in the world enough times
to make her blase regarding the receptions at
corded to licr by lier audience. Nevertheless
out of town correspondents send me word that
in every city In which she has appeared upon
her present tour she lias acknowledged plaudits
after the acts of "L'Alglon" gracefully and ex.
liuberontly, quite as though she were struggling
to rise from a minor position and were thank
ful for every Indication of esteem. Wouldn't It
bo worth whllo for somo of our own chining
stars to tke careful note of Mine. Uern
liardt's behavior and try to understudy it?
Them is Richard Mansfield, who stands majes
tically in the center of the stage without a tre
mor looking extremely fatigued and gazing
stolidly into space as much as to styi "When
these poor poopls are through making a noise
I will go to my dressing room." John Drew

most before the audlenrc is aware she has ao
knowledged their tokens ot pleasure. I don't
attempt to insinuate that our stare are dis
pleased with the favorable receptions their act

possible for their observers to realize the exulta
tion that is at the present time tolerably well
stifled. Frederick Kdvvnrd McKay, in the .Morn

Dan Hart's new play, which is now being
rehearsed, i called "Melbourne," and the scene
is laid in Melbourne, Austrulla. Mr. Hart sa)s
of It in the Wilkvs-llarre News: "I know it is
the most dramatic cf my pla.vs and contains
many novelties. The theme Is one which should
arpeal, and I think it will, The play was in.
spired by a book written by II. J. Ferfeln, who
is the son-in-law of Joseph Jefferson. It is not
a dramatization, however, as I have taken an
idea from th book and developed It along my
own lines and introduced my own characters. As
the title indicates, the scene ot the play is laid
Melbourne, Australia, and lomanie wanders un
der the moonlight uud through the rose gardens
In that far away other end of the world. It has
as much heart as 'The I'arish Priest,' but more
pulse, us the serpent ot villain' trails through
the four acts, and I aim at dramatic rffect and
Intensity. The company engaged promises to
bo the strongest that has yet appeared in any
of my jila) 9. I will have several productions
next season, including 'At Old l'olnt Comfort,'
a play upon which I am now working. A new
version of 'A Daughter of Dixie" is alio to be
pioduccd, as Is a play which I ani to write
around the life of 'Daniel O'Connell,' which
will also be the title."
