elaborately stiiRed, handsomely cos
tumed mid rrom an artistic and musi
cal point of view superb. Last night
the spectacle betrayed none of the
ragged details usually deemed Insep
nrable to u first performance liy ama
teni'M.. The performance opened with a por
tion of tillbert & Sullivan's "lolatithe."
with a girls' chorus. The role of
lolanihe was taken by Allss Rose (Sul
len, pretty, petite and sweet-voiced.
She sang charmingly. The mteen of
the fairies was impersonated by Miss
Kleanor Reynolds, a stalely and beau
tiful girl who -was mteciily, indeed. AIlss
Reynolds has :i voice which would
give her a career if she so elected and
as site hits only recently begun vocal
study, her progress If, awaited with
interest by many well-wishers. Airs.
.. K. Lister was a most attractive
l.elia, and she sang her lines pleasing
ly, as did also AIlss Alice Hunts, who
Wits exceedingly pretty In the role of
Celia.
The tower scene with chorus was
given from "II Travutoro" and us was
Hie ease last season AIlss Cirace Spen
cer scored one of the hits of tho even
ing as Leonora. T. R. Williams of
Wllkes-Harro, sang superbly In the
role of Aliuirico. This famous duet re
ceived many encores. The male chorus
did excellent work.
ROilKARAX ;1RI,.
"The Uohomiaii nirl" was magnifi
cently rendered. Few professional
casts can show such nn array of talent.
Airs. James Gardner Sanderson was
the Ailine last night and anything
daintier and more exquisite than her
impersonation would be difficult to do
scribe. She has a lovely voice and It
was singularly stilled to the song, "1
Dreamt l Dwelt in Alarble Halls."
Aliss Lida Oaragan was a line (ilpsy
Queen, and her beautiful contralto voice
was never heard to better effect than
in "Rliss Forever Past." "W. Jl. Utin
nell sang with unusually pleasing ef
fect us Thaddeus, anil Thomas Hall
was ii great success as Florestein.
Ralph IJ. Williams had it fearful and
wonderful make-up as Devilshoof, but
there was no disguising his clear, true
tones, and be came in tor much ap
plause. The sextette from "Lucia til
Lainmermoor," in which these soloists
and KttRcne AVentzel sang, was one of
the most strikingly beautiful numbers
on the programme. The chorus of the
"I'nhemlan Ulrl" was great, and the
stage arrangement was especially ef
fective. Altieli inlei-'st centered In "Carmen,"
for rumors concerning ICugene AVent
Kel's voice Iiuil been persistent, and
everybody knew thai AIlss Spencer
would be ideal In the title role. It may
be safely asserted that no one was dis
appointed. AIlss Spencer was extra
ordinarily taking in her interpretation,
and Alt'. AYentzel, as the Toreador,
brought down the house, just as was
prophesied. He has unusual dramatic
ability, and then Ills tuice is so beauti
ful in timbre mid general ttiallty.
Ralph AYallliims was an tmiiialltied
success as Don Jose, and Air. (lull Im
personated Xunlga with intelligence
and grace. The chorus in "Carmen"
surpassed anything before attempted,
mid was sin Intense satisfaction to the
directors.

Aliuii space could be given to the

of "liitllet of the Ages," and were

Bowling
The magnificent trophy, for which the
various clubs of the Northeastern Penn
sylvania league are bowling, arrived
Thursday. It Is of Sterling silver, stand
ing fully two feet in height, und is of
magnificent design, as can be seen by
cut above shown, und Is worth one
hundred dollars.
The Black Diamonds are making a
great bid for the trophy, now being in
the lead for the prize. Indeed many of
the old bowlers wouldn't be surprised
to see the Diamonds win out. Frank
.m)iitiii:ati:i: pi:xnsvia'.m.v i.iiaci'i;
TltOI'IIV.
Heavers Is acting captain of the team
dining the absence of Captain Kays,
who has been out of town for some
time. Tho personnel of the Dlack Dia
monds at present Is: Reavers, fiormnn,
Foley, AVorden, with Reynolds or Pryor
substituting for Kays.
The standing of the various teams In
the Club league was materially changed
by Thursday night's games. Oreen
Rldgo jumped to llrst place by winning
I wo guines from West Und No. 1!, which
gives theiu u porcentitgn of .557. Seran
tou Dleyelo Club lost three games to
West mini No. a, which places them on
tlio same footing with both Wilkes
Darro teams, with a percentage of .111,
Two of Hie very best and most con
sistent bowlers in Northeastern Penn
sylvania are Captains Richl and Hop
kins, of the Kilts ami Ruckus teams re
spectively.
Peter Zelgler, or "i'liele" Peter, as he
Is ali'ectlnnately known among the
bowlers, has done as much, It not more
than any other ope person towards
popuhirkiing the modernized biiiiw of
bowling hereabouts. Mr, SCelgler Is
president of the Northeastern PeniisyD
vaula league, being elected to the olllco
by a unanimous vote. Nothing Is too
good for Untie Peter, say the bowlers,
Tho woik on the West Sldo Wheel
men's now alleys is being rapidly
pushed forward, Two workmen Rom
the SteflVn factory, of Now York eJly,
are engaged in thu work. When com.

tion Ycstcrdny Ho Offers to Show
That the Councilman Has Not
. Lived Up to His Reputation as a
Watch Dog of the Treasury and
Invites nn Investigation Says He
Mny Enter Suit for Defamation
of Character.
Select Coimcllniiin Charles 10. Chit
tenden's attack on City Controller
Howell, at Thursday night's council
meeting, has stirred up every bit of
fighting blood in Air. Howell's veins,
mid he gave out for publication yester
day afternoon a letter replying to the
remarks of the gentleman from the
Ninth.
Nor. only this, but lie is seriously con
sidering a suit for damages.
"I feel," said he yesterday to a Tri
bune man, "Unit i huvo excellent
grounds for a suit for damages. Presi
dent Chittenden has seen fit to slander
me In an entirely uncalled for manner
and to make certain absolutely false
charges against me In a public place.
If I car. prove his charges to be false,
and I am positive that I can. I could
win out In court. I have not yet ar
rived ut any definite determination In.
the matter.
The controller's reply to Air. Chitten
den Is contained In the following letter:
IMItor of Tho Tribune

from the f.iet that It there appenis a a Mimeulint

Ihe price charged on his bilk I have not found
time to compare his pike with oilier', but I hue

I have been told tliat he titwci .u a watch

of the city.
I have neier bend tli.it he cheated Mnphcus
in an cfloit to iiFieitain iilitther the f-pecial
street impioieiiient .ireount- of tlie city were
not conectly kept, when as a matter of fact
neatly eicry null account appealing on the bonks
of my department prior to my incumbency in
office were in u condition fioidtrinc on chio,
and lemained so eien after I had drawn the
attention of councils to the inatt-.T. With til"
data. I.ilng in thu hands of ;i committee of the
muicHc, of wlili Ii Mr. Chittenden was at v.imus
times a nicinlior, I know of no iuilanco on record
where it appeals that Mr. fliitlende.i, with his
wonted concern for the city's welfare, wasted any
energy in .lltcmpting to fix Ihe responsibility for

he.ud it .said that Mr, rhittcuden, in this piilicu
l.ir mailer. tliplayed any anilely tor it-bench-liient.
I am infonnctl tli.it he i.s die originator of tho

ter, II will be seen that while no savim. could
irsulr to the city, tlie interest on an old judg
ment being no greater than on a new one, the
rlly was called upon to a.-siuno excesses which
were wasteful, wanton and inliiulous, IloMdos
this, many boldeis of city judgments, unable to
keep up the interest payments to the banks that
earned the judgments as rull.itci.il, are needless
ly einbair.issed, while ntheis who hold city judg
ment, and are content to wait until pioiisinn is
made for their pa.imenl, aro virtually force ii to
take their money, .Vs a uv.uit wariauls for

lh.it of f.ivoiing the payment of ceilaiu hill., but
in an Incautious moment I tlnd him impoi tun

.Mr, Chittenden has M'on tit to thaigo mc with
