IEWS OF
A WOMAN
THERE ARE some people foreor
dained to bo martyrs. Sometimes
they like It ttnd sometimes they
don't, Sometimes they know It and
sometimes they don't. The ones who
know It nnd like It are as tiresome as a
problem novel. Mr. AV. AV. Scrnnton Isn't,
thnt kind. Ho Is the sort ot a martyr
who doesn't know It nnd who wouldn't
care If ho did. All the same ho Is a
martyr, although he doesn't go round
flourishing a gridiron or u golf bng full
of arrows. It Is an Inherent principle
nmong the resident ot this city to scold
him nnd write letters to the pnpers
about him. AVo nil do It. AVe lie awnke
nights worrying ox'er what he may do
next and are sure It's going to be some
thing dreadful. AVe shall be really dis
appointed if he doesn't. AVe sujvj "Oh,
denr! supposing he should tnke a no
tion some morning to shut all the water
off just out of pure contrariness! What
on earth should we do!"
Then we happen to remember thnt-he
could shut off our ' gas supply some
night If he felt Ill-tempered, and we
hnve another fit about tliut nnd won
der In a newspaper letter why the coun
cils don't do something. Then wo
make faces at his uutomoblle when It
goes by like a red streak. It Is the
fashion to disprove of nbout everything
thnt Mr. AV, AV. Scrnnton does or does
not.
If he should build a monument In a
public square, we should nil remark
Indifferently: "Oh, it's a fnd or his to
make things out or stones."
ir he should build n church for a poor
congregation we should again entirely
nttrlbute it to his nffectlon for stone
walls, or to some deep, gloomy motive
which would yet appear. By no possi
bility could we ever give him credit
for doing anything for the same reasons
that other men do things. Yet if any
other man In this town should give
four dollars and twenty-five cents to
ward a rund for hair-cutting among
the Boers or starting nn expedition to
Mars, or putting unother piece of bric-a-brac
on the court house lawn, we
should herald it nbroad as a noble
and philanthropic deed.
Yet Mr. Scranton has done more to
advance the interests ot this region nnd
to advertise the progresslveness of the
city than has a single other ngency un
less it may be -the International Cor
respondence schools.
If any person except Mr. Scranton
had built such magnificent roads as
those which lead out to Lake Scranton
and the mountain near by, wo should
have petitioned a grateful legislature
for a medal for him or should have
ordered a memorial window placed
somewhere. Being Mr. Scranton, who
has made the roads, we wonder how
he happened to do it and sntlsry our
minds by the oblique explanation that
he made 'em all Tor his own red auto
mobile and Tor the reliclty of having
one more opportunity to lay stone
walls. But we ride over them In
luxurious comfort and make sarcastic
remarks about the lacV of originality
displayed in many pents of interest
along tho newer route. AVhy "Mount
Anonymous?" AVhy not "Mount Super
be," or "Beaulieu," or "Montana Her
mosa," or "Clara Din" for is not tho
day fair indeed from that lovely height?
AVhy "Nameless," when, far and wide
the glory of the landscape sweeps be
fore the gaze, waving banners of
beautiful names? And then we grumble
some more but we ride over tho vel
vety sunaco or that paradisical road
whero is not even a crumpled rose-leaf
and we drink in the marvelous splendor
of the scene (nnd say swearing words,
when we meet the red automobile,)
and go back home to murmur nbout
the awful condition of n community
which lies in the grasp of one iron
hand. As the old man said when people
worried about the long spell of rain,
"It always has stopped ylt;" so Mr.
Scranton always has stopped short of
cutting off the water supply or raising
it to abnormal rates, and still we worry
over the possibilities.
Every little while a lot ot prominent
men get together and make speeches
and have things to eat, and tulk a lot
about good roads and that we ought to
have them. Then they elect a presi
dent and trensurer, and disperse, and
that is the last you ever hear nbout It.
Mr. Scrnnton never says a word, but
he builds roads such as cannot be sur
passed in the world, and we ride over
them ror nothing and wonder why ho
doesn't make 'em longer.
Never a visitor or delegation of any
importance comes to Scranton that it
is not taken over, that wonderful road
as the chief show pluce. Never a vis
itor goes away without being more im
pressed with that drive up tho moun
tains than with anything else experi
enced on his trip. There Is something
nbout good rouds, free from. dust and
faultless ns to surface, that gives a
singular Importance and dignity to any
locality. One of tho chief points of
distinction xvhlch Pennsylvania appears
to enjoy Is for the wretchedest roads
on the fnco of the civilized earth. Ono
of them lies close to the center of thlp
city nnd is called Linden street. You
ought to try to ride over those three
blocks above Clay avenue.
AVhen a comparison Is drawn between
the roads of New Jersey and New York
and those of this state, we nlways say
placidly: "Oh. but wo have such dif
ferent conditions, you know. Such a
continuation of mountains and so many
rocks and washouts."
The road to Scrnnton Lake and
Mount Anonymous suffers no xvashouts
and it lies along most difficult ascents
nnd the roughest of surfaces, Mr,
Scranton said, "Let there be a good
road!" nnd there was a good rood, It
will be a monument to him xvhen there
Is little else left of Scranton Itself. It
will be a Joy forever to drive or walk
over, nnd nn object lesson to all be
nighted supervisors and street commis
sioners. There should bo a Good Roads
Commission established In this state
Immediately, with AV. AY. Scranton at
Its head.

THEATRICAL.
Interesting Event at the Dixie.
The International Correspondence
Schools' employes spent a most pleas
ant two hours nnd a half nt tho Dixie,
theater last evening. They npplaudod
every net on tho programme and during
the Intermission called loudly for Mi'.
Dixie, who responded with a short talk
that proved most Interesting to all pres
ent. Mr. Dlxlo spoke In a very pleasant
manner of tho misunderstanding as ho
termed It between the union people and
tho contractors and said how sorry ho
was that the labor organizations should
hnvo any 111 feeling toward his thjbutcr
when he nt heart was not at all 'antag
onistic to them and hoped thut the dif
ferences might soon bo settled so they
might one nnd all enjoy tho perform
ances to be given at the new Dixie the
ater. He snld also that he employed union
mqn on his stnge nnd was mom than sat
isfied with them. Mr. Dixie said tho the
ater was for the neoplo and he looked
forward with pleasure to the tlmo wnen
there would bo no barrier to any one to
keep them away from the play house.
Hearty applause greeted tho gentleman's
address and every one present declared
tho cntertulnmnt a fine one. Today will
be the last opportunity to see Amcta,
whose dances will long remain In tho
memory of tho Scranton theater-goers.
"When We Were Twenty-one."
H. V. Esmond's beautiful comedy,
"AVhen We AVcre Twenty-one," which
wns tho hit of the past sea'on of the
Knickerbocker theater, New York, and
which Is certainly the greatest success or
any play over presented by Mr. N. C.
Goodwin and Miss Maxlno Elliott, will bo
presented at tho Lyceum this afternoon
and evening.
Mr. Godowin plays only In London this
season, and has therefore arranged to
have this charming play presented In all
cities not visited by him personally.
Jefferson in "Kip Van Winkle."
Nowadays when a son of one of our
great actors Is advertised to appear in
his father's plays, the public are apt to
become suspicious as to the ability of tho
son to follow in tho fotuteps of the
rather.
Such has not been the case with Thom
as Jefferson, who has been presenting
"Rip Van AVinkle" for tho past six sea
sons with financial results. Thomas is to
bo hero on Monday night nt the Lyceum
and will present that delightful comedy,
"Rip Van AVinkle," supported by a splen
did company. Seats on sale.

That popular actor of romantic play,
Daniel Ryan, will again favor Scranton
play-goers with his repertoire of strong
high-class plays at the Academy al! naxt

Bnemy to tho King," to bo followed by
"The Three Musketeers," "Forgiven,"
"Ingomar." "Tho Fatal AVcdding," "His
Life for Hers," nnd "O'Brien, the Con
tractor." The Ryan company this sea
son numbers thirty people nnd carries
two carloads of beautiful scenery and
light effects.

Barney Gllmore's popularity in Scran
ton was again verified by the two large
audiences which greeted him In "Kid
napped In New York" at tho Academy of
Music yesterday. The play will bo re
peated this afternoon and evening.
