Finn Claims His Clo'.hes,
For four days Thomas Finn wandered
stark naked on Wilkesbarre mountain,
and is still alive to tell the story. He
was driven insane by failure to got work
and imagined that hundreds of people
were following him, crying: "You
cannot get work." Last week Finn's
clothing was discovered on the banks of
Sugar Notch creek, and It was believed
he had committed suicide.
The clothes were sent to his home at
Exeter, and his relatives have since
mourned his death, while the authorities
dragged the creek. Last night a naked
man walked into a house near Sugar
Notch. He was faint with hunger, his
feet were frozen and his body covered
with cuts and bruises.
Ho was given a shirt and overalls and
went away. This morning he appeared
at his home in Exeter. His feet are in
such a condition that physicians fear
they will have to amputate them. Ho
is very weak, but his mind is clear and
he was able to remember his wander
ings.

THEATRICAL
At the Grand on Friday evening there
will be presented for the first time in
Freeland the beautiful play. "Barbara
Frletehio," considered by many theatre
goers to be Clyde Fitch's masterpiece.
This is a play of love and war—a charm
ing love story with the whistle of bullets
and the boom of cannons as a back
ground. The scene Is laid In Frederick,
a little town in Maryland, in 1803, and
the story tells of the love of a most
attractive Southern girl for a galant
Northern officer. Clyde Fitch has bor
rowed the theme from John Green-lief
Whittier's masterly poem and from It
has woven a story full of heart interest.
"Barbara Frletehio" had a run of 150
nights at Chas. Frohmm's Criterion
theatre. New York, and will he seen
here with the same magnificent costumes
ami effects as were In evidence there.
The title role has been entrusted to
Miss Florence W'ickliff, than when no
more capable actress could have been
selected. She has been surrounded by
a company of unusual strengh.

ly enjoyed by a good house. The
characters were ably played and every
feature of the at tract ion was well receiv
ed, as the hearty applause gave evidence.
If Mr. Glick should ever visit Colum
biana again it is safe to predict that the
opera house would bo filled.—Colum
