Lathrope, who has for many seasons
been tho guiding spirit of the Lead
er. I congratulate these veterans of
ono of the most notable wars of his
tory. They have lived to enjoy the
fruits of victory, and havo witnessed
tho 'marvolous progress that -has fol
lowed the uniting of the North and
South, and has demonstrated even to
the most ardent supporters of the
Confederacy that a union of states
Has been best for tho nation."

-Thirteen of the counties of the
State have received their appropria
tions from the State in aid of agri
cultural fairs and settlements will
probably be made on others within a
short time. But one is undor inves
tigation of charges by the Auditor
General. Last year at this time four
complaints wero pending and inves
tigations being made of charges that
gambling was permitted on the fair
grounds. In some of these cases it
was proved that games of chance
were allowed and the exhibitions lost
tho State money. The effect of this
stand has been that a couple of fairs
which had figured In previous com
plaints and against which charges
would -have been filed did not make
any application to their county com
missioners for State appropriations.
Tho county wherein an investigation
Is under way is Tioga.
-Manager William D. Fitzgerald,
who is regarded a very genius of de
tail thoroughness in his theatrical
enterprises, will present Rose Mel

at the Lyric theatre on Friday, Jan.
3. This is good news for Honesdale
theatregoers for plays of "Sis Hop
kins" merit aro "few and far be
tween." Here Is a stage diversion
that has every element of pure,
downright entertainment without a
moment of vulgarity or boisterous
ness. There is laughter In its every
nhase. a tear now and then to vary
tho emotions, and withal It Is one ot
tho most Interesting, unforgetable
comedy dramas that ever won popu
larlty. It is a veritable chunk of
Indiana life, picked up In Poseyvllle
and spirited away for "preservation In
the minds and hearts of a nation
Manager Fitzgerald counts thi3 pro
duction his supreme effort and cer
tain it is that his cast could hardly
bo improved upon. Tho TOle of "Sis"
Is played by Helene Malilton, who
seems to havo been put upon the
stage providentially that she might
enact this character of tho simple,
sweet country girl of tho gingham
gown. It fits her peculiar abilities
like tho "proverbial paper on the
wall. Then there Is Obadlah, the
droll undertaker, who sees In every
acquaintance a possible future casket
customer and who makes no hesita
tion about letting his friends know
his ambltlbns. Ma and Pa, Margery,
Bart, Miss Peckover, and all tho
other quaint folk of this classic pleco
are played by especially chosen char
acter artists, including such player3
as Charles Guthrie, F. P. Haven,
Jack Morton, Goorge Byron, David
DeWolf, C. C. Randolph, Martha
Richards, Nettle Lindsay, Oertrude
Arden, Winna Rogers and Paulino
Emerson. To those who know,
there Is a good tlmo In store in the
