POLITICAL POINTERS. A Republican may be elected to the legislature from the Fifth district, this year, because the Democratic vote will bo split in three. The Lenahan faction met on Monday and the convention broke up in a row, two men being nomi nated. Two weeks ago the faction favoring ex-State Chairman Gartnan held a convention and nominated M. J. Tighe. On Monday the Lenahanites gathered. Two candidates, .John T. Gibbons and E. J. Burke, were in the field and their forces were about equally divided. After a long wrangle the affair culminated in each side naming iis man and the meeting dissolved. The Wilkesbarre Record gives notice that no Republican candidate for the legislature "who bears the brand of Boss Hacharach on him will be elected in Luzerne county." Bacharach is the boss through whom Quay issues the orders in Luzerne county, and who also has his name on the payrolls of the executive department at Ilarrisburg, where he gots pay for what ho does for Quay. On Saturday evening the Republicans of the Fourth district will elect dele gates to the legislative convention to be held here on Monday next. LI. VV. Haworth. of Freeland, according to the calculations .of his friends, will carry off the honors and be named as the can didate for the legislature. Two dele gates will also be chosen to represent the district in the state convention. There is a strong movement in prog ress in the Second legislative district to renominate Representative E. A Coray, in spite of the fact that he is not among the announced candidates. There seems to he no doubt that Mr. Coray would accept if nominated. Interest in the Boer-British war wlil abate this afternoon aud evening while the returns from the Democratic state convention at Ilarrisburg arc coming in. The Prohibitionists promise to make an exceedingly lively campaign In Penn sylvania this year, Willi many speakers on the stump. Philip Drum, of Conyngham, wants the Republican nomination for the legislature in the Sixth district. Where Tliey Were Uolni; on Monday. N.

The Delaware and Hudson miners in the Lackawanna region are much exer cised over a circular just issued by the company instructing them to pay their debts to storekeepers and others.

J.. Cull, March 23, 1900. "The Cherry Dickers" Company open ed at the opera house last night to a big house. Everybody was pleased from tile fact that the company Is really one of the best that has played Puterson this soason. Tho play Is" laid in far off India and tho loading character is John Nazarre, a half cast, played by Garland Gaden. This gentleman showed great talent and plays Ills part well, lie is an actor any company would be proud or. Colonel Brougli, "William Higby, Is a good actor who has a very difficult part, but he wins the applause; oven at times the audience wants to hiss him, yet the masterly manner in which he portrayed the cruel and unprincipaled man, show him an actor In every sense of the word. William Corbett as Ayooli, an Afghan spy, does some fine work. It is too bad he has not a longer act to display Ills good qualities. George Le Savage is funny and gets all there is out or tho part of Brown. You feel like kicking him and yet you laugh. Words cannot express how pleasing and fascinating Is the leading lady, Miss Alice Irving, gifted with a sweot face that cannot be forgotten and a ligure that, makes lier a woman among women As an actress, Miss Irving shows great talent. She won the audience In the second act and in the third, the great cannon scene, the house wont wild, Miss Margaret Tennant, as the Widow O'Donnell-Duleep, is really a wonder. Iler acting Is full of pure fun which stamps her as an artiste in the truest sense. The scenery is the hest that has been hare this season, in fact the whole play Is so delightful that one leaves the house with the foeling that they have been uioro than repaid for going. The recollection of the "Cherry Pickers" will linger in the minds of all that saw the play last night and there is no doubt that everyone will speak well of it. There is not a dull moment in the whole piece and the great cannon scene In the third act Is the greatest effect ever seen here. $1.50 PER YEAR Spring Opening at the One-Price.
