A Maltese cat was worried by a dog
and climbed to the top of a tall tree in
Harrisburg one day last week. Its perch
proved to be anything but a place of
safety for the feline, however, as, afraid
to leave its -perch, it endured a fusillade
' of bricks and stones, for several days
and then quietly yielded up its nine
lives. By the aid of a long ladder and
through the stimulus of a dollar, a man
was found who shinned up the tree and
dropped the cat. Our Honesdale tab
i bies dp better. Within a few days past
we havrt seen three mounted on telegraph
poles just outside of our sanctum win-

greeted with an appealing mew; but

finally ventured to turn around and let

Black Beauty."
It is seldom in the annals of the drama
that a play is as good as the book
from which it may be drawn, but per
haps once in a decade the feat may be
accomplished with success, and the re
sult is always very marked, as in the
case of "Black Beauty," which not only
was an international success as a book,
but is well on tho way to the same re
cord as a play. Everybody in almost
every country on the face of the globe
knows "Black Beauty" by heart, and
truly it was a heart story that touched a
tender chord in every breast toward the
dumb animals. The author of the book
lived just long enough to learn of the
success of her touching story, but since
then it has been read by over ten mil
lion people, which attests the wonderful
humane power of the story. The Presi
dent of the American Humane Educa
tion Society, Mr. George T. Angell, has
the honor of putting forth both the book
and play, for i n his 85th year, still vig
orously pushing his great work for all
the animal world, he offered a $1000 prize
for the finest play written from "Black
Beauty," and after the jury had made
its selection, Mr. Angell paid the prize
money and sold the play to tho well
known theatrical managers, Atkinson
and Thatcher, who immediately' began
preparations to stage "Black Beauty
in a magnificent manner and tour the
United States with it, and it will be seen
injthis town at the Lyric on Monday,
Feb. 1st. only. These enterprising man
agers have secured a popular theatre
edition of the book, whichcanbe bought
at. the local stores for a small sum, to
refresh the memory on this great humane
phiy before seeing the play which has
mgde the greatest hit of any drama put
out in a decade. A very fine company
otjfielected players will bring their own
bgautiful scenery and fresh costumes,
alpo three fine horses which take r!the?
wH-remembered parts of "Ginger,"
"Merrylegfl" and"Black Beauty" in the
play, which closes with a grand allegori
cal scene.
We have made arrangements
so that we can send for $1.75 the
QITIZEN for one year and the
E&RM JOURNAL for five
yjears.
