GRAND ENTERTAINMENT.
PAROCHIAL SCHOOL PUPILS SCORE
ANOTHER BIG SUCCESS.
Grand Opera lloiiho Filled to the Doors
on Tuesday Evening Willi People Who
Came to Witness the ltrillinnt Work of
the Convent Scholars.
The pupils of St. Ann's parochial
schools gave their fifth annual enter
tainment at the Is rand opera house on
Tuesday evening before an audience
which completely filled the building. It
has become customary, at the close of
each school term, for the talented young
pupils of tho convent schools to give an
entertainment the like of which is not
seen at any other time of the year, nor
equalled by any other than themselves.
Their yearly exercises have become a
feature among the amusements of the
town, and are attended by more people
than any other similar enterprise during
the year. The church basement can no
longer house the throngs, and the Grand
opera house, the largest building in
town, is taxed to its utmost to accom
modate the attendents, and this for two
nights.
The high standard set by the first en
tertainment, given five years ago in the
church basement, has been fully main
tained, and Tuesday evening's produc
tion cannot help but add to the already
great popularity of the pupils. The
Sisters of Mercy, whoso patient and
laborious work was so brilliantly re
flected by their pupils, cannot he ac
corded too much praise for the success
of tho exercises, for fyom the standpoint
of one in the audience tiie character of
their work was made evident and was
proven to he admirable.
To analyze each number on tho pro
gramme for the purpose of showing
wherein it was pleasing, would be un
necessary, as the conclusion would be
the same in every case, and may he ex
pressed by the simple word "good."
From the moment the grand opening
chorus, "Magnificat," was sung in Latin
by all the pupils, each succeeding num
ber was greeted with constantly increas
ing interest.
Among tho most attractive features of
the programme, because of being parti
pated in by the largest numbers, and in
which tho costumes were beautiful, were
the "Clowns' Fantasy," "Gossips' Pan
tomime," "Calisthenics," "Scarf Dance,"
"Japanese Salute" and "The Peri."
The recitations and musical selections
were well chosen and admirably render
ed. Tho hoys' comedy sketch was im
mensely pleasing.
The exorcises will he repeated this
evening, beginning at 8 o'clock.

From tho Wilkcsburrc Newsdealer.
For a long time there has been com
plaint among the wheelmen about con
stables and policemen along the West
Side arresting bicyclists without just
cause and merely to obtain the .$1 they
get for each arrest. On Sunday last
Harry Laycock, son of Colonel Laycock,
of Wyoming, while riding along the
street in West Pittston was arrested by
Officers Hallstcad and Davenport. He
protested, whereupon they swore at him
and hustled him along. He paid his fine
and thon with his fathor's aid demanded
an investigation.
A special meeting of the West Pittston
council was held Thursday night to in
quire into the matter. A number of
witnesses were present and with young
Laycock they told of tho many abuses
to which they had boon subjected by the
money grabbing oflkors. After hearing
all tho testimony the members of the
council unanimously decided to dis
charge both men, and they wore im
mediately dismissed from the force.

surely destroy the sense of smell and
completely derange the whole system
when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never ho
used except on prescriptions from reput
able physicians, as the damage they will
do is ten-fold to the good you can possi

The New School Building.
Contractor Riebo lias a force of thirty
livo men working 011 the new school at
Chestnut and Washington streets. The
brick and stone work of tho structure
has reached the second story. On Tues
day an accident occurred which will delay
work 011 the front portion for a week or
more. While one of the large brown
stones was being hoisted to its position,
over tho north side window of the main
entrance, it split in two and fell to tho
ground. The store was probably a de
fective one, as an examination of it
shows considerable brittloness, and it is
fortunato that It gave out at the time,
otherwise it might have escaped notice
and give trouble some future day.
All the other parts of the building show
good workmanship.
On Tuesday evening tho directors met
with Architect Davey to hear his report
on tho building. He pronounced the
work done so far to he even better than
demanded by the specifications. The
board accepted his statements, but will
continue ils vigilance until the school
is completed.

liis countrymen, mortgaged his property
heavily and disappeared without giving

was a very intelligent Tyroler and was
considered a sound business man by the
people here. lie was treasurer of u
prominent Tyroleso society of Freclaud,
which loses quite an amount. Tho total
extent of hls defalcation, it is estimated,
will amount to over 83,000. It is believ
ed be lias returned to Europe. Enaina
was here two weeks ago and settled sev
eral small bills about town and borrowed
some large amounts.
Anthracite Coal Outlook.
There arc difTitroncos of opinion as to
whether the output should bo Increased
in Jttly. It is thought by sonic people
that 3,000,000 tons should bo sent to
market In that month. This is 500,000
tons more than the June allotment. An
other view Is that no more than 3,500,-
000 should bo shipped, but that prices
ought to be raised 35 cents per ton.
Just what will bo done will be definitely
decided by the trust this week. It is
expected from the present outlook that
the tonnage this month will be at luast
300,000 above the amount agreed on,
'1 his is the first time that the companies
have over shipped this year.
Holiness Camp Meeting.
Tito annual camp meeting of tho Holi
ness Christian Church will bo held at
