Events Programme for Today.
From n Stuff CorcKpomlcnt.
Wnllsvlllo, I'u., ScU. 17. About 1,600
persona visited the sdventh unnual fair
of tho Maltlnnd Fair and Urlvlnu Park
company today. Those of. the visitors
who enjoy good horo racltiB got well
repaid for their Journey, as tho two
races scheduled for today were both
good ones and well contested.
The first race, for thrce-tnlnute trot
ters and pacers, was won by Billy M.,
owned by Thomas B. Clark, of Hones
dale, In three straight heats. Lillian
ltoy, owned by John Slattery, of Scran
ton, captured Becond money.' The fast
est heat of this race was 2.20.
The second race went to Almokln, tho
Forrel mare of Henry II. Pierce, of Car
bondalo. This was also a three-heat
race. Almokln was never headed, al
though Thomas W the property ot M.
Sherwood, of Scranton, gave her a
pretty good argument and carried
away second money. Time of fastest
heat, 2.24.
Many Scranton visitors were In at
tendance at the fair today and all
seemed pleased at tho races' and other
attractions. Tomorrow, tho big day of
tho fair, the schools arc to be closed In
ractoryvillc, Dalton, Waverly and sur
rounding villages.
FINK EXHIBITS.
To those who delight In viewing
nature's bounty this fair affords a
prollllo study. More farm .products,
fruits, cattle, poultry and fine horses
arc on exhibition this yeur than ever
before at "VVallsvllle. More than 1R0 dif
ferent exhibitors have articles on tho
grounds, some of the exhibitors mak
ing more than a score of entries. Tho
elands for tho display of vegetables and
fruits that have hitherto been consid
ered ample are this year inadequate,
and the overflow has tilled up the space
underneath.
Everybody that goes to county fairs
likes to joke about the big pumpkins.
This year there Is lots of room for the
hilarity, for there aro no less than
thirty-four mastadonlc. sueclmens of
this homely but useful Held product.
The coops of chickens, turkeys, goose,
ducks, pigeons and Belgian hares that
arc in the poultry department on tho
first floor of tho main building are
jammed as closely together as they can
be placed, and then room is scant.
There are more than twice as many ex
hibits in this department than there
were last year.
The cattle stalls are filled with the
aristocracy of kineland, Guernseys,
Jerseys, Hollands and other fancy
strains, some ot whom have been prize
winners at this and other fairs. .
A flue display of hoi'scs is also to be
scon in the stables on the hill, from the
ruckling foal, the yearling colt nnd tho
fast roadster to the rugged, chunky
farm horses.
A FUND OF INTKItF.ST.
To those who only visit the county
fair as an amusement nnd to see all
that Is going on there is a fund of in
terest. They can ride on the merry-go-round,
have their fortunes told by a
genuine gypsy palmist, stare opon
lnouthcd at the girl who sits serenely
In a pit filled with rustling rattlesnakes
nnd "eats 'em alive," or view the curi
osities In a. dime museum next door.
Two photo galleries are kept busy, the
nlr Is filled with negro laughter as
"white trash" try to lilt a woolly head
thrust temptingly through a hole in
canvas under the legend: "The coon
that steals the chickens." A shooting
gallery Is in handy reach.
Quieter scenes prevail In the main
building. Down stairs the palm for at
tractive displays is easily borne away
by Driggs & MucConnell, of Nicholson,
with nn elaborate assortment of stoves.
Tho Cortland Wagon company have
buggies and farm wagons. Upstairs,
besides the fruit and vegetables already
mentioned, there are tiers and tiers o
preserves and jellies, pastry and bread-'
Btuffs, honey and vinegar. A choice
nnd artistically arranged display of
house plants and cut (lowers adorns one
end of the building. The many varieties
of needlework, crochetted und knitted
articles shows that the farmers' daugh
ter and wife has as great a knowledge
of Intricate stltrhes and art designs
us the oltv women.
No one need go hungry. The dining
hall sots forth an appetite-soothing
dinner, nnd for those who wish a
cheaper meal an oyster parlor under
rauvas supplies that need. Fruits and
ther refreshments arc on sale every
where. The first race was called at J, SO

TAX ON OCCUPATIONS.
It Is Now Reduced to an AlmoBt
Trifling: Amount.
It Is not genernlly known that tho
Increase ot tho assessed valuation of
real estate and the consequent reduc
tion of the tax levy has worked also
a reduction in tho amount of revenue
which tho city will derive from tho tux
on occupations. This reduction Is so
great that those interested say It Isn't
worth the trouble required to make an
occupation assessment and collect oc
cupation taxes,
The increase In the assessed valuation
of property brought tho lax levy on
first class properties down from 13.4
mills to 4,788 mills. Occupations are
classed as first class and last year their
valuation was $1,351,030 and the amount
realized in taxes was $18,150, This
year the valuation of occupations
Is $1,364,610 but with the levy of
4.788 mills tho amount to' bo collected
will be only $5,631.
The laborer who formerly had to pay
$.,40 on an occupation valuation of $30
will now have to pay but $.14 and tho
miner who formerly had to pay $.80
now )ms to puy but $.29. It is argued
that tho return of $5,531 Is not sufficient
to wurrant tho work of reassessing oc
cupations every year and the trouble
incidental to collecting tho trilling tax
on them,
THEATRICAL
"St. Ann" nt Lyceum Tonight.
What gives every indication of being
a. sterling theatrical attraction Is prom
ised tho people of this city In tho pre
sentation of "St. Ann" at tho Lyceum to
night. The author of tho play Is Paul
Armstrong. Tho piece has played for the
past two weeks respectively In Washing
ton nnd Baltimore, whero It seems to
have mado a profound Impression, which
has been conspicuously reflected In tho
press of New York. Those who havo
seen "St. Ann" oven the most critical
declare that It will prove tho sensation of
New York's season when It reaches
Broadway, and It Is doubtless a source of
gratification to local theater-goers that
they aro enabled to pass judgment upon
the now piece prior to their metropolitan
neighbors.
"St. Ann" depicts with a graphic real
ism, lightened by nn ideal touch hero
and there, the life ot a community of
young and aspiring artists in Now York,
One of these Is Ann Lamont, whoso
friends call her "St. Ann," nnd It Is sho
who sustains the more serious action of,
the play. She loVrs, but does not dis
cover It until sho has given herself entire
ly to another man. Although she litis
fallen, sho redeems herself, and although
sho has erred, she nestles nt Inst In tho
arms ot her lover, who henceforth be
lieves Implicitly In her purity. Flora
Fnlrehlld, who created tho lending role In
"Way Down Kast," bus the leading role.
Sho Is Julia Arthur's sister, and Is a most
talented and beautiful young actress.
Among the nssoctatc players aro to bo
found such names as Robert McAA'adc,
Florcnco Robinson, Charles K. AA'aldron,
Eugene Frostier, Glndys Gates. John K.
llnzznrd. Edith lllnkle and Lnclle York.
"St. Ann" was produced In tho Nes
bltt nt AA'llkcs-Bnrro last night and mado
a decided hit. The play Is full ot good
situations and tho company that pre
sented It Is n very cnpable one. The au
thor or the play, Paul Armstioug, Is with
tho company.
"When. We Were Twenty-One."
H. A'. Esmond's beautiful comedy,
"When AAfe Worn Twenty-one," will bo
presented at tho Lyceum Saturday nfter
noon and evening. To speak ot this play
Is to suggest tho thoroughly sound moral
lesson It teaches. After seeing the love
ly Phyllis and her mother at Dick's home,
and then seeing those women at the Cor
inthian club, who could hesitate for a
moment as to which company ho would
prefer?
No company has ever received greater
pralso than tho Indies and gentlemen
engaged to portray Esmond's lilc-llko
characters. The tour Is under tho per
sonal direction of AVIIIInm Morris and
John T. Hull. Diagram opens this morn
ing at 9 o'clock. '
"Rip Van Winkle."
The sale of seats for Thomas Jefferson
in "Rip Vim AVInklo" at the Lyceum will
open tomorrow morning and the Indi
cations are they will be in good demand.
Mr. Jefferson appeared hero two sea
sons ago and gave excellent satisfaction.
Not only did bo score a hit himself, but
ho had the support of an admirable com
pany nnd the production was given In a
true .Teffersonlnn manner.
"Rip Van AVInkle" is a rlcllehtful old
play and in tho hands of the Jcftersons
will llvo for years to come.
Where Merit Wins.
That merit wins is shown In the stead
ily increasing patronage at Dixie's thea
ter. The delighted audiences that leave
the building at tho close of a matinee or
evening performance aro among tho best
ndvcrtl.sers that this popular house can
command. Anietn, tho lire dancer, now
upon her second week, has more than
tilled tho expectations of those who had
anticipated a feature of unusual inter
est, und her dazzling and original crea
tion is something that can lie enjoyed
many times by tho lovers of tho beauti
ful. '
The Kenton trio, Slsson and AA'allaeo,
Gcorgo Gorman, Herr Urban and others
also contribute to ono of tho best pro
grammes ever seen on a vaudeville stage.
"Kidnapped in New York."
Barney Gllmoro has not only mado of
"Dooley," the detective, bis role in tho
comedy drama, "Kidnapped In New
York." the greatest artistic hit of his
notable career, but tho public Is giving
him sultstantlal appreciation In a way
that is making his season thus far ono
triumphant success. This Is tho third
year for this piece, but each season Mr.
Gllmoro bus added something to brighten
and sustain tho Interest In his popular
play.
Tho Shirley sisters spent their vaca
tion In London and Paris this summer,
and whllo thero secured all their sthgo
costumes, nnd they aro really dreams ot
art. "Kidnapped In New York" will be
the attraction at the Academy of Music
for threo days commencing tonight, and
tho capacity ot the theater should bo
tested during tho engagement. Matinees
Friday and Saturday.
"A Bohemian Beauty."
If bright, clever and witty sayings and
cntchy music help to make a good thea
trical performance, the burlesque theater-goers
will this season enjoy Tom
Miner's "A Bohemian Beauty," as pluycd
by his Bohemians An all-stnr cast has
been engaged, Including the funniest of
comedians, Charles Burke, of the Burke
Brothers, and his trained donkey, "Wise
Mike"; Grnco La Rue and her dusky
pickunnlnnles, the well-known favorite,
Andy Gardner; Edna Davenport, the
champion lady soft shoo dancer In the
world: Johnson nnd Hlllnrd, Campbell
and Matthews: Milton Shustcr and Mas
ter Nicholas Wright, the wonderful boy
singer.
Last season Tom Miner Innovated the
straight, full comedy for houses of this
class and for him It wns a wonderful
box-ofllco winner and many evenings of
pleasure for theater-goers. A drug store
la full operation, the Interior of n circus
tent and tho swellest of swell hotels,
"The Diamond Palace," will be shown.
At tho Star theater, threo days, com

THE MARKETS
Wall Strut JUtUw.
New York, Sept. 17. Speculative senti
ment wna further Improved In AVnll street
today and prices ot stocks enjoyed addi
tional recovery. Tho relief of the actito
uneasiness over tho money situation by
the largo engagements of gold for import
checked the liquidation In thn slock mar
ket nnd made it easier to mark up prices
again. Tho voltimo ot the actual buying
demand was light, howover, and the
number of shares dealt In was no larger
than yesterday. Tho movement hither
wnrd of somo $7,050,000, In gold from va
rious quarters gives somo feeling of ns
surance that relief will bo at hand when
the oomlng additional requirements .of
currency by tho interior will mako It
urgently needed, Tho nervous feeling
early In tho week was as much duo to
fear of this future contingency us to tho
then present exigency for money. Tho
receipt of gold which has been started
towards this center will bo In occasional
parcels during tho next threo or four
weeks. Over $400,000 ot tho Australian
receipts which arrived In Ban Francisco
yesterday. were mndo immediately avail
able to tho local market by telegraphic
transfer through tho sub-treasury today.
The oao million dollars which started
from England today will bo avallablo at
tho end of the trans-Atlantic voyage. Of
the remainder thero will bo ono parcel
of $500,000 which is not duo to arrive In
San Francisco until October 10. It will
bo seen therefore that thcro Is no octuul
present relief from tho present process of
depletion of New York bank reserves.
Thu anticipatory payment of government
Interest docs not keep pace with tho
transfers of currency to tho Interim
through tho sub-treasury "which again
amounted today to over half a million
dollars of which nbout. two-thirds went
tp New Orleans and the remainder to
Chicago. Tho requirements of tho largo
customs payments meantime continues to
drnln funds from the New York bunks
Into tho sub-treasury, the balance of re
ceipts by that Institution at tho expense
of tho market having amounted already
slnco Inst Friday to $1,631,000. Tho com
parative quiet In tho money market is
therefore duo rather to a sentiment of
greater assurance for the future than to
actual present relief. Tho restriction of
the speculation is a testimony to tho con
tinued scarcity of funds. Cfill money
touched 10 per cent, only momentarily
this morning and ruled generally below
that. Quite a number of prominent
stocks, both among railroad specialties
were from 1 to 2 points over last night
at ono time today, but the prices were,
not held. Tlte market closed about
steady. Total sales today, 4",.ri00 shares.
The bond market wns tlrm. Total sales,
par value. $2,708,000. United States 3s reg
istered advanced ,: the coupon U and the
