lecture Tomorrow Evening*
Superintendent Gabrin, of Hazle
township, says concerning the lecture
tomorrow evening at the Grand opera
house:
"Those who fail to hoar Dr. SchaefTer
will regret it. I have heard him on
various occasions and have never known
him to fail to please an audience."
In fact, every person who sees or
hears our state superintendent becomes
very much attached to his personality.
His great learning, his modest de
meanor, his forcible style, his wonder
ful illustrative power make him a
favorite wherever he goes; and his pro
fessional ability has kept him In office
under successive administrations re
gardless of party politics.
His interest in public school work Is
shown by his coining here from llarris
burg without charge to help swell the
High school library fund. Now let our
people show an equal interest by turn
ing out the full capacity of the hall.
The price has been made so low, not
to create the impression of a cheap talk,
but to give an opportunity for all to go
without sacrifice. Everyone should be
there for his own sake, for tlie sake of
the object, and to show that Freeland
Is not behind other places in interest in
school aiTafrs.

Freelanß'a AsaesKed Valuation.
The borough assessors have completed
the work of making their annual valua
tion of tho property and taxables, and
the result shows a slight increaso over
tho figures of 1899. The assessed valua
tion of the borough by watds this year
and last year is as follows:
1900 1899 Increase
First 8 44,722 42,fi83 2,039
Second 38.fi43 38,111 532
Third 20,770 20,343 427
Fourth 49,174 48,508 660
South 88.219 87,149 1,070
Total 247.528 242,794 4,734
Each of the wards shows an increase,
the First, however, leading all others,
with the South following.
The above table is made still more in
teresting by a comparison with the vote
cast by wards at the February election,
also showing each ward's per centagc of
the total vote cast and its per centage
of tho total assessed valuation. This is
as follows:
Vote Cast P.C.Vote P.C.VaI.
First 162 16 18
Second 147 14 15
Third 103 10 11
Fourth 196 19 20
South 427 41 36 i
Total 1,035 100 100
From no matter wjiich standpoint
tho question Is viewed, every fair
minded man must concede that tho
South ward should be divided iu order
to give its population an equitable
representation on the municipal bodies
of town. The glaring discrimination,
which was concocted for political pur
poses and is con tin tied for the same, has
been pointed out in these columns so (
often through official figures that it is
time the people of the territory affected
rise in a body and protest against tho :
injustice.
Verdicts of Damage Suits.
The case of Louis Daubert vs. the
Delaware. Lackawanna and Western
Railroad Company was completed at
Wilkesbarre on Thursday and the jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff,
awarding him damages in the sum of
82,786. The plaintiff sued for 820,000
damages for the death of a son, who
was killed at Beach Haven in 1893 by
a Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
train. Tho case was tried twice before
and eacli time the jury disagreed. The
boy was a grandson of Stephen Drashor,
of town.
The case of Henry Mouser vs. the Le
high Traction Company was completed
in court tho same day and a verdict j
awarding the plaintiff 815 damages was ,
rendered. The plaintiff claimed ho was
thrown off a South Side car and kicked
by tho conductor and claimed 810,000
damages. Tho evidence was to the
effect that Mouser was intoxicated and
when put off tho car attempted to stab
a man and was then kicked by a passen
ger. Mouser admitted that he was
intoxicated.
Oleo Dealers Must Suffer.
Some tiino ago, Philip, Goorge and
Julius Kolb were convicted in the court
of Schuylkill county of violating the
oleomargarin laws. An appeal was
taken to tho superior court, which court
affirmed the action of the lower, which
had refused to quash the indictment.
The indictment contained two counts:
the first drawn under the act of 1885
and tho second, partly undor that act
and partly under the act of 1895.
As tho former act had been declared
by the United Statos supremo court
unconstitutional the judge in the lower
court Instructed the jury that no con
viction could be had under that count,
but sustained a conviction under the
second count. This was sustained as
legal by the lower court and by tho
superior court. The defendants then
applied to the supreme court for an al
lowance of an appeal from the decision
of the superior court, and this applica
tion tho supreme court has refused.
Dragged to Death ly a Mule.
Dangling head downward between the
feet of a mule, John Sharp, aged 13
years, was dragged oyer a mile of rough
road on Friday to a shocking death.
Ho was a water boy, engaged with
workmen opening a new road between
Primrose and Trenton, near Mahanoy
City. Tho lad tried to clamber on a
mule's back, hut was thrown, with both
feet tangled in the traces. The animal
started on a mad race to tho stable, one
mile distant.
Shrieking in agony, the boy was
dragged over the rocky road until his
cries ceased in death. When the animal
was finally captured Sharp's head was
battered almost shapeless.

A shocking accident occurred at No.
5 breaker, Jeddo, on Saturday, when
George Pollack was probably fatally
crushed in tho rollers. . Pollack is 37
yoars of age and lias a wife and several

misstep and Ills foot was gripped in the
teeth of the steel drums. Pollack was

SEASON CLOSES TONIGHT.
RESUME OF ATTRACTIONS AT THE
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

With tho presentation of "Tho
Parish Priest" by Daniel Sully and
company at the Grand opera house this
evening the theatrical season of 1899-
1900 in B'reolatid will come to a close.
Judging from the praise accorded this
play by the press and opera house
managers in towns where it has appear
ed, no more appropriate attraction
could have been secured to end the
season. It is a remarkable coincidence
that Mr. Sully's company will also close
tonight—Freeland being the last town
In which "The Parish Priest" will ap
pear this season.
During the season which ends tonight,
which is the first conducted under the
management of the Freeland Opera
House Company, sixty-seven perform

Forty separate traveling companies
appeared here during the seas in.
Thirty-two companies played one night
each, two companies two nights each,
two three nights each, one live nights,
one six nights and two showed six
nights and one matinee each.
The season covered a period of over
eight months, opening on Septembor 11
last with "The Hustler." This was
followed on September 18 to 20 by the
J. E. Toole Company. Two nights of
minstrels, the Fields and Hanson Com
pany, were next, on September 22 and 23.
Morrison's "Faust," which drew the
largest house, both in attendance and
receipts, that was ever given to any
company in Freeland, closed the month
on tho 27th.
October was devoted almost wholly to
repertoire, tho Leyburne Bon-Ton Com
pany opening on the 2d for six nights
ana ono matinee. On tho 9th "The
Stowaway" was produced. Mitchell's
All-Stars played six nights and a mati

Diamond Bros. Minstrels showed on the
14th, Barney Gilmore in "Kidnapped in
New York" on the 20th, Amy Lee In "A

tures on tho 11th and Agnes Wallace

Repertoire Company opened a five-night

January 5 brought Augustus Pltou's
new production, "Tho Gunner's Mate."
The week of tho Bth was occupied by
the Tommy Shearer Company. "Finno
gan's Ball" played on the 18th, "Old Si
Stebbins" on the 25th and Vogel &
Deming's Minstrels closed the month on
tho 31st.
"The Merrymakers" held tho stage
three nights in February, beginning on
the sth. John Kernell and Tim Cronin
in "What Happened to Rielly" on the
9th, Fred and Sadlo Raymond in "Tho
Missouri Girl" on tho 16th, Daisy Chap
lin in "Tho Corner Grocery" on the
20th, election night, and J. K. Emiuot
and Lottie Gilson in "Fritz in a Mad
house" on the 23d filled the balance of
the month.
On March 12 llartlett and May pro
duced "A Woman in the Case." lfoyt's
"A Milk White Flag" was tho attrac
tion on the 16th. Stetson's "Uncle
Tom's Cabin" came nearly breaking the
record of attendance, hold by "Faust,"
on the 21st. Irene Myer9 In "The
llnrglar" on tho 28th was next and
"The Span of Life" on the 29th ended
ihe month.
In April "What Happened to Jones"
showod on tho 4th and "Tho Cherry
Pickers" on tho 6th. "Martha" was
given on the 19th by the Andrews Opera
Company and Hoyt's "A Day and a
Night" on tho 20th. Tho 30th saw
"The Queen of Chinatown." The only
attraction In May Is "Tho Parish
Priest," to be given tonight.
Only once during the season were the
patrons of the house disappointed by an
advertised performance not being given.
This occurred on April 31, when the
Itrady pictures of tho Jeffrles-Sharkey
contest could not be shown on account
of a lack of tho necessary kind of
electrical power.
The season, as a whole, was satisfac
tory to the management and appeared
also to satisfy tho opera-goers. Tho
traveling companies and their managers,
with sotne few exceptions, were also
well pleased with their visit to the town,

many of them not having hail the pleas
ure of appearing boforo a Freeland
audience before this season.
On account of the low population at
which the town Is rated, together with
the disadvantages to traveling com
panies by reason of Freeland being
located on a branch railroad, many of
tho bettor class of plays had to ho offered
large guarantees or assurances that
thoy would receive certain amounts
before they would consent to come here.
In order to build up the reputation of
the town large risks were on several
occasions taken by the management,
but In every such Instance tho patrons
responded cheerfully and filled tho house
sufficiently to overbalance the guaran
tees and expenses.
It might also be stated that plays of a
degrading character found no encour
agement from either the audience or
the local management. Several known
to be of this kind, Including the much
advertised "Sapho," wore refused dates
at the Grand Ivhen opon time was
plentiful.
As stated In those columns somo time
ago, the Freoland Opera House Com
pany has renewed Its lease of tho house
for another year. Attractions are
being steadily booked for tho season of
1900-1901, and many of tho contracts
already signed are for shows and actors
and actressesof well-known reputations.
The lessees state that they \yill endeavor
to continue to merit the patronage and
good-will of tho Freeland opera-going
public by booking tho best attractions
that reasonable guarantees and risks
will bring to the town.
