After dinner thoiwrty occupied u box nt the lectin o Blven by Mr. Uryun In the Lyceum. Processor .1, M. Chance, ns ninny peo ple know, Is 'iTHfe-long friend of lion. iWllllnm .1. IJrynn. They were born In the same town, Jaokson, III., lived within u block of each other, were In the same school, joined the snine Pres byterian church nt the same time nnd were unvarlnbly seen together. When Mr. Bryan went to Illinois col lege ut Jaokson, their first separation occured, Mr. Chance entering Lincoln university, forty miles away, to con tinue his musical studies. However, through nil the years that have follow ed, the friendship formed In childhood litis been cherished as something very 'dear to both men. "We were so much to each other al ways," said Mr. Chance yesterday, then lie ndded laughingly, "perhaps It was because wo never fell In love with the sumo girl. I used to tell Wilt that If I wore a woman ho should be the man I should marry. Ho did meet and ltinr ly a girl who made his life most com plete. She Is strong intellectually and hns added to her attainments that she might keep pace with him. From every standpoint she has been a helper. As she was the brightest girl in her school nnd college so she Is tho brightest woman In tho circle wherever she Is thrown. It wus to be a companion In tho mentnl realm that she studied law lifter their marriage. "I remember," continued Mr. Chance, "When we were about fourteen or fif teen years old, Will Bryan and I were lying under the trees In the park where both our families had removed. We were planning for our future and I said that my ambition was to be a musician. "All right," said Will, when I am presi dent of the United States you shall bo court musician. That year when Mr. Bryan did come close to being presi dent, I sent a telegram to him signed "Court Musician," and he remembered "well the Incident of our boyhood days. From a child lie wanted to bo in poli ties when he grew up. Every energy was bent toward that end. He took oratorical prizes right along. He stood llrst In the State college contest and later when the International competi tion was decided, he came in second. He was one of the most conscientious men 1 ever knew. He has always lived liis religion every day and his whole life is an evidence of the influence. His views on the silver question are just as sincere as his religion. Indeed, I think they stand next to religion with him. You know it is different when you live in the West. Your point of view is entirely changed. I thought just as Sir. Bryan thinks while I lived there and saw the arguments in favor of sil ver. A few years in the East, where I could see the results of industrial condi tions, here and learned the other side of the ciuestfon from personal knowledge lias made a great difference In my opin ions. I honestly believe that if Mr. Bryan should come East to live ho would- regard matters in a totally dif ferent light. Ills practical knowledge leads him to think as he does on the silver question and he has never really felt any argument strong enough to give him a convincing impression to tho contrary. Ho never will while he lives In the West." The third in the setles of subscrlp Mon concerts under the management of Mr. Fred C. Hand will take place at the Lyceum Easter Monday, March 31, with Madame Sehumunn-Helnk as vo cal soloist.

Hand will go to N'ow Yoik today to arrange about the programme. It Is plctsunt lo note that not only the greatest of foreign artists have been engaged this season for appearance In Scrnnton but that uii opportunity Is given for this brilliant home talent as well. On this occasion SIlss Claire Hu ron will make her public debut ns a pianist. To have the honor to appear with Schumann-Heinle la 'one which might well he coveted by any per former and this gifted girl Is to be congratulated. TJnpiecedented Interest Is felt In her woik it 8 she has been heard by but few since her three years' studys with Lcscholtzcky, the great master who Padorowskl says taught him repose and grace. Another most populnr fenture of this concert will be Professor Theodoj'o Ilembeiger's violin solo. The Hem berger String Quartette will also play. The aifalr will be given exceptional brilliance by reason of tho Charity Ball and the subscription Dance at the Bicycle club patrons of both having planned to attend tho concert llrst. Thus the full dross effect will add much to the Interior of the beautiful theatre. It Is with unaffected enthusiasm that Slme. Schumnu-Helnk will be greeted. She made the most distinct hit with her audience last season and she comes on this occasion nt the earnest request of the patrons nt that concert. She Is the fnvorile singer before American aud iences today. Sir. Isidore Luckstone will be her accompanist as ut the pre vious concert. Sir. and Sirs. T. F. Penman enter tained United States Slurshal Leonard and United States Attorney SlcCarrell at dinner on Wednesday. The success of Ethel Barrymore, who appears at the Lyceum theatre next Saturday, may well be styled a fash ionable triumph. Tho play, "Captain Jinks," has proved as popular as the tune for which It was named, and Sliss Barrymore has in one step taken high rank among the leading act tresses of the country. She has so truly caugth the manner of the old crinolino and the bustle and the at mospheie of the early seventies, that the play would be a go If for no other reason and there are many. SIlss Bar rymore is not only repeating the great personal success which she made last season, but she more emphatically than before establishes the fact that she has earned a place In the fiont lank of American "society actresses. The advance sale for the coming Bi nes festival will open at the Lyceum box olllce next Slondny morning at 9 o'clock, and the engagement promises to be a notable society event. A num ber of distinguished artists accompany tho band, among whom may bo men tioned: Borghi, the famous Italian "Carmen," who will make her first ap pearance in America; Alberti, the popu lar baritone; Zernl, a tenor of large reputation, and the young American soprano, Frances Boyden, who has re cently met with a triumphant success In London nnd Paris.

AVhen this large company of visitors landed on the island of Sladelra they attracted much interest, for such a great vessel had not put in there before.

"One can only read the deduction," he soa's, "that women.havo not the cour nffe to stuud alone'vn any single sub ject. There are thousands of women in this country who have the club habit "without rhyme or reason. They aie nothing short of club-crazy. The club is rapidly becoming: u veritable Intoxi cant among vomen. I glyp the average Atnetlcnn woman credit for good tustc hut not for Rood sense that Is, she often hns the tnste,to furnish her house simply and well If she only had the courage of her convictions. Uitt there she hulls and falls, nnd there phc lacks good sense. Hhe hosjtntca to live her own life! she is nfrnld to do what she feels and knows Is tho right thing to do nnd she generally winds up in doing the Very thing which In her heart she does not want to do, and which she knows Is the wrong thing. The Amer ican Woman's greatest fault Is her fear of being judged by her neighbors. She Is Invariably guided by the thought of what others wilt suy ot what alio does, Uy that yardstick, she dresses herself and her children. She furnishes her house. She joins clubs because Sirs. Ho-and-So asks her und she doesn't like to refuse. She lives her life for others In fnct but not In n high sense. It Is In a superficial sense entirely. Hero nnd there one finds a woman cour ageous enough to do and live according to her own convictions. Then wo say ot her that she Is 'queer.' The fact of the matter Is that good sense In this respect Is sb rare that wc confuse If for ciuecrness or eccentricity. "Tho American woman hns wit, clev erness, grace, beauty nnd all that nnd In these she excels, but she lacks the courage to deal honestly with herself. She menus to be honest; no one will deny that, but she Is not. If she weic, she would not bo following the super ficial life which she does today. She would not be doing one hnlf the un profitable things. Her house would not bo clogged up with useless brlc-n-brnc which occupies her time In super intending." Women nro certainly burdened , to death by tho demands which cause them to flotk'ln droves. One woman Isn't unhappy enough when she sits down to try to puzzle out what Brown ing was at when he wrote certain lines, but Immediately she wants to drag all tho other women of her acquaintance nlong In the puzzle business. If she has enough prestige, she drags them without protest, nnd they devote nice, good afternoons, when they might have had iiYefreshtng nap, to wrestling over tho problem of "Tho Whntness of the Is." "Women aren't contented with their own quiet little aristocratic chap ter of the Daughters of the Revolution, but they must have a big national or ganization whose chief object seems to be scrapping and where only a halt dozen of the best scrappers can man age to hold olllce year after year. It does not add to helr dignity nor real enjoyment except In the way of show ing oft' pietty clothes. Then they must sow In flocks. There isn't any penance in a. Lenten sewing society. It's the maddest men lest kind of dissipation at times. They must have classes for Bible study whose ex clusiveness is f-o Intense that the sweet ness of the Woid must have been lost to their taste. They must go in herds to do c-hnrltable work, to dress dolls, to read the newest novel, to find the first spring flowers, to learn how to bring up their children or to fry fish. Tho old fair hours of sweet loneliness are over. The ever-restlessness of the age Is hurrying the peace of .self-communion like 11 soft white dove chased by a hawk, nnd there is no more nulet. I no more enio.vment of solitude. The woman of today has few le sourcps In herself. She is so accus tomed to the everlasting "group meth od" that she cannot decide for lierseir whether to have her new shirt-waist suit made with one deep circular rufllo or two and she wastes houis and even days In trying to get the concensus of public opinion on the matter. The average young git I acts ns if she hates herself. In the gentle old days, the young glil of the household spent much of her time in her father's house, busied with her simple studies, her books or her music Of course there was much gaiety, but when she hap pened to have a minute ulono by lier seir, she did not fly to the telephone to call a friend over or rush out in order to find company. The girl of today Is a nervous, restless mortal who does not want to be alone with her own thoughts a minute, It is often a won der that she can endure to lose the raie pleasme of a long beautiful day with a table full of poets at her side or thr best magazines, the beat reviews, or the opportunity to learn a new lan guage, a little at a time. I think Mr, Hole Is decidedly in the right. The club' Instinct Is a woman destroyer. We dq not have the leal club fad in Scranton, hut wo do have imitations of it In the countless devices to take up our time and weak en our Individuality. It urcd to be said of a woman that she found It haul to live up to her brlc-a-brac Today her Mudven are so ciowded with It that tho similitude has formed models In her brain and Instead of being a calm, well-ordered home of the soul lit to guide a life, it is 11 iink shop of past, present and the unknown future, of scraps of tills and that which some or ganization 01 club has moulded imper fectly nnd left to cumber the fair rooms.

Disciples of the Sport nt London in Twelfth Century. I'ioiii the ( hiingn News. Arstlstlo skating chiefly dates ft 0111 the mlddlo of the last century, but speed skating was observed and com mented upon by some early historians, The earliest historian of London, Fitz stephen, in the tweltfh century, relates that "when the great fenno or mooro (which watreth the walls of the citlo on the north side) is frozen many young men play upon the yce." The skates were crude, but seem to have been fatrly speedy. After n description of sliding which Irrestibly reminds one of air, Pickwick's attempt, the historian remarks; "Some tye bones to their feete and under their heels, and, shov ing themselves by n little picked staffe, slide ns swiftly as a bird llyeth lit tho air or an arrow out ot a crosse-bow." Fun wits sometimes created by thrust itif; out the polo to upset the skater in an opposite direction, with the result thut figure skating was evolved, to the great merriment of the spectators. Blade skates were Introduced into Kngland from Holland about 1060, and were seen In London In 1662. John Kve lyu, the diarist, under the date Decem ber 1 of that year, describes how "div ers gentlemen perforined before their mujestles on tho new c-auu) in St, James Parlf, with sheets, after the maimer of the Hollanders." But In 1612 Edinburgh hud started a skating club and was soon famous for Its ele gant skaters. In 1T72 the llrst English book on "The Art of Skating" was published by Robert Jones Though roller skutes were employed In Holland in 1770, their use was confined' to that country till 1849, whim they wero Intro duced In a scene of Sleyerbeer'a "Pr"' hete" nt Paris.
