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.

It will now cost 830 to slip a circular
under a house door, or leave it on the

tire police force of the city to strictly
enforce its provisions.
The new law makes it unlawful to

"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.
