Hall Tomorrow Evening—All Should A large crowd gathered at Phar macy hall in West Sayre last even- ing, and listened to one of the best speeches ever given in Sayre. The speaker was Eugene W. Chafin of Chi- cago, 111, and he handled the subject of prohibition In a masterful -style. He showed how the prevalence of the two great parties, both of which were controlled by the liquor, and oth- or great private interests inimical to the rights of the people, were the greatest foes of reforms. He made an appeal to the manhood of the vo- ter to come out, stand squarely and vote for principal, and not merely to zet on the winning side. ” The singing of Prof. Thatcher was greatly appreciated. Mr. Chafin will spaak again at the same place to- morrow, Saturday evening. BREVTTIES Next Monday is pension day. Another change in the weather.

W, Truitt, who for the last sev- eral mouths was employed as pre- scription clerk In Drigg's drug store, has rasigend his position and left for his home in Milford, Del, on No. 4 today. Mr. Truitt made a large num- ber of friends during his residence in Sayre who will regret his departure. It is understood that construction work on the Lehigh changes at Tow- anda has been discontinued for the cesert, und will pot be resumed again until March 15. Train crews which have been doing duty at that place have been ordered to report at Sayre to take their piace “on the rounds” COAL WAS POOR, SHOPS SHUT DOWN. Sr Men Were Forced to Stop Work at Five 0'Clock Last Night. The Lehigh shop men were forced to quit work last night at 5 o'clock, all on account, it Is sald, of a poor quality of coal which has been used to feeq the furnaces for several days The coal failed to furnish the neces- sary amount of steam to work the engines which operate the dynamos, and the steam for heating purposes was also losufficlent. Therefore the men ceased labor at 6 o'clock and went home. DeWitt’s Little Early Risers, relia- ble little pills. Recommended by C. M. Driggs. Report Says That a $1,000,000 Loss Has Been Sustalned—Fire Beyond Control of Firemen. A report received from Harrisburg states Lhat a tremendous fire is raging in that city that has destroyed a num- ber of business blocks The fire at the time the report was receivea was beyond control of the fire department, and was spreading rapidly. At an early hour this morning the loss had amounted to §1000,000, and was rapid- iy becoming greater. The fire started in a hat store un- der the opera house, and In a short time that flue structure was a ruin. This was soon followed by the com- plete destruction of the Postal Tele graph and the Western Unlon tele- graph buildings. The firemen were unable to make any headway against the flames, and the whole city is threatened with destruction. The firemen of other cities were being called In to ald the firemen of the capital city in their fight against the flames. NOT ALL CAME FROY TOWANDA. rm ——— Lehigh's New Train Was Loaded Most. ly With Men from Athens. The new train which the Lehigh Valley has placed in service between Sayre and Towanda, steamed Into the local station this morning precisely on time, and discharged its cargo of human freight. It is estimated that there were nearly 100 passengers on board the train, but they did not come from Towanda. It is asserted upon good authority that nearly two-thirds of the crowd boarded the train at Ath- ens, belng part of the men who usual- !y patronize the street car service be- tween lhat town and Sayre. Recent- ly the men have been considerably dissatisfied with the trolley service and they will hail the new Lehigh train with delight As a result of the new train the trolley patronage was sadly depleted this morning. Nature's “Air Castles” In the northern Itallan Tyrol are a cluster of awe-inspiring mountain peaks that violate all ideas of what mountains should be. They are as the Dolomites. Tossed high, as if arrested in midair, they are nature's own “Castles in the Air.” than any castle walls ever built by man, they seem to defy all possibil- ity of ascent. So little known, and s0 defiant are these mountain obel- isks that they bave never been con- quered by man until a few months ago. Just how they were finally sur- mountad is shown fully in Lyman H. Howe's Lifeorama In Loomis opera house on next Monday evening. The ingenuity and risks taken by the climbers is sensational in the extreme Up the sides of great shattered peaks with summits lost In the clouds, the climbers are seen gaining thelr way foot by foot, and always at imminent risk of their lives. Finally the last forbidding walls are scaled and then the picture unfolds a panorama of mountains so spectacular and fantas- tic in their shapes as to bewilder the mind. The scene is so unlike any- thing else ever witnessed s to make the spectator feel transported to an- other world altogether, New com- binations of the wonders of nature follow in rapid succession, making this feature of Mr. Howe's new pro- gram unlike any ever attempted hith- erto. The program ahounds also with other features such as Atlantic Whal- ing and Quaint Ireland, which give it a wealth of interest never before em- bodied in a single exhibition, William's Carbolic Salve With Armies and Witeh Hasel The best Salve In the world for Cuts, Bores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Tet- ter, Chapped Hands and all skin eruptions.

Uen lias Probably Escaped Law's Vengeance. Clarence J. Ely, the young telegraph operator, who on the first day of last October robbed the Lehigh Valley ticket office at the [thaea station of §1.200, was arraigned before Justice Coman of [thea yesterday. Through his attorney J. J. McGuire, a plea of guilty was entered and the altorney asked that sentence be suspended Justice Coman gave Ely a suspended a sentence and released him on proba- tion. He was paroled in the custody of Albert E Neldeck This disposition of the case against Ely is taken to mean that he will probably never come before the court again. Since his arrest and subse- quent confession of the crime power- ful influences have been at work to secure his release. Several weeks Ago a petition in his bebalf was cir- culated among the rallroad men on the Lehigh. A large number of names were sucured to this petition, bat when the officials of the company learned of what was going on, they instructed tMRir special officers to warn the raliroaders against signing it. Those who had already signed were requested to withdraw thelr nauies The officinls of the Lehigh were particularly anxious that Ely should be punished, as the crime which he had committed was a most serious one. The disposition which Justice Coman made of the case at Ithaca yesterday, however, would seem lo Indicate that Ely’s friends has succeeded in extricating him from a most unenviable position. MARY NANNERING * AT THE LOOMIS, tes. The Appearance of This Charming Young Actress Will Be a Theatr. cal Event. Mary Msnnering, the charming Aclress whose coming to Waverly is the theatrical event of the sear, will be seen at the Loomis opera house next Tuesday evening, Feb. 5, in Rida Johnson Young's successful American comedy, “Glorious Betsy,” undoubt- edly the best play yet from the pen of the noted author of “Brown of Har- vard,” ete. The production uere will be a notable one and will be under the direction of the Shuberts. The story of Lhe play Is as follows: This new play has for ita central figure that radiant belle of yesterday, Betsy Paterson, whose beauty and abmition made for ber one of the most remark- able careers ever attained by an American woman. From the position of a Baltimore belle, whose wit, pride and rather daring independence, made her the admiring comment of all fash- lonable society in Amercia, she sprang #uddenly Into international notice by her marriage with Jerome Bonaparte the brother of Napoleon, just at the time when he wus proclaimed Lnper or of the French. In writing “Glorious Betsy” its ag- thor does not go into the darker side of Betsy's ilfe, but deals with those days when her name was the toast of every gathering of note from Baltl- more to New Orleans. It takes us back to the old Sweet Springs of Vir- ginfa, when that resort was the gath- ering place for the best In wealth and culture and beauty of which America can boast. It Is at the Springs that Betsy first meets Captain Bonaparte who, weary of the endless round of entertaiument and adulation he has received as the guest of the American nation, has traveled to this out nf the way resort incognito and for whatever romantic adventure might appeal to a youth of nineteen, full of high spirits and nway (rom restraint Jerome becomes infatuated with the reigning belle, Betsy Patterson, and manages to have himself employed during her staty there to give her los- sons in French. Betsy becomes In- tenvely Interested in her tutor, but her pride and ambition fights agalust acknowledging that she could love a min in such an Inferior position. 3he coqueltes with him, however, as ahe does with half a dozen others. Betsy leaver the Springs Ignorant of Jerome's true personality, deeply of. fended with him because of his refusal lo accompany her party to Baltimore, where great preparations are being mnde for the reception of Captain Bonaparte. It is here at an elabor- ate fete given in his honor, that Betsy first discovers that her tutor and the much talked brother of Napolean are one, Previous to this discovery, her pride overcome by the ardent of her supposed tutor, Betsy has confessed her love for him. They are betrothed and the rest of the play deals with the efforts of Na- po'ean’s agents to prevent their mar- riage, their fruitless voyage to France, where Napolean refused to allow Bet- sy to land, and the final happy tri- sph of the lovers.
