OPENING OF
THE FAIR
Very Large Attendance on
the First Night.
Display Made by the Pupils
of the Painting Class Is
Unusually Fine —Many
Handsome Exhibits
The opening of the fair for the benefit
of the building fund of the Sisters of
Mercy chapel took place on Saturday
evening. Kroll's hall was crowded
with those who have purchased tickets.
The hall Is artistically decorated and
the hundreds of costly exhibits are ar
ranged in a manner which show them
to advantage.
All the available space in the hall is
utilized, but the principal booths are
those which are in charge of the com
mercial class and the painting class of
the school and St. Ann's Sodality.
The art table Is one of the surprises
of the fair, every picture there having
been painted and presented by pupils of
the school. All of them are handsome,
but several show such decided traces of
genius and talent that nothing less than
a careful inspection of the work will
give one a true conception of their
merit.
Throughout the hall are many other
ornamental and useful articles presented
by friends of the Sisters of Mercy,
whilst on every side will be found
numerous entertaining and amusing de
vices, such as the postollice, fishing
pond, fortune-teller's tent, etc.
If the attendance on the opening
night is any criterion of what is to fol
low, the fair promises to prove a record
breaker. As it will close on Saturday
evening all should attend early in the
week while the display is intact.
Foster School Board Meets.
The regular meeting of the Foster
township school board was held Satur
day evening at the Woodside school
house with Messrs. O'Neil, Zeistloft,

The report of the supervising princi
pal was read and showed an enrollment
of 1,039, average attendance 830, per
centage of attendance 80. The supplies
requested, pencils and crayon, were
ordered procured.
A discussion on tlin continuation of
night schools took place and a school
wherein the attendance fails below the
required number of pupils was ordered
to be closed.
Uppi-r Lehigh's night school which
was the first to open with an attendance
of 34 will bo closed tonight if the at
tendance has not improved, since last
week.
A discussion on the matter of children
from outside the township attending
the schools resulted In a motion that
the secretary make out bills and insist
upon the payment of $1 per mouth per
pupil.
It was decided to procure a lock and
seven or eight keys for the door of the
meeting room and each director is to
receive one.
The following hills were ordered paid:

'•A Trip to Buffalo.''
The music of "A Trip to Buffalo,''
which will be the attraction at the
Grand opera house on Friday evening,
is one of the best features of a produc
tion that has many qualities to commend
it to general approval William Loraine,
the composer of "Salome," ••Zimona"
and other characteristic intermezzos
which are numbered among the most
popular selections of the day, has writ
ten thirty-two original numbers for the
piece. The promise of Mr. Loralne's
earlier works is spendidly realized in his
latest compositions and there is many
a pretentious comic opera which does
not boast so excellent a quality of pleas
ing melodies.
A half dozen of the songs are number
ed among the successes of the season,
including "In Buffalo," "Rafferty Bev,"
"I Left Ma Heart in Dixie. 1 ' "Maidie
Come My Lady" and "Be Careful of the
Hoodoo Man."
The company presenting "A Trip to
Buffalo" numbers forty people, includ
ing the famous "Beauty Chorus," one
of the most attractive groups of young
women on the stage today.
The principals have been carefully
selected for the requirements of their
respective roles and are responsible for
incessant laughter. Among them may
be mentioned Marty O'Neill, George E.
Beban, Eugene Rogers, Jack Marshall,
Bertie Fowler, Anna McNabb, Florence
Wolcott, Grace Dare, Dawn Loßoy and
Vesta Borgan.
"A Trip to Buffalo" ran fourteen con
sectivo weeks in Buffalo to record-break
ing business, a success it has since du
plicated on the road.
Seats will be placed on sale at 1) a. rn.
tomorrow at McMenamiti's store.
Slot Machine Case.
From tho Wilkeaburre Record.
The Pitts ton gambling cases in which
Rev. J .1. K. Fletcher is the prosecutor
were down for trial on Friday. The
cases grew out of a recent crusade in
Pittston against slot machines and in
all but one settlements woro effected,
the defendants, William Einaus, M. J.
Hughes, J. C. Boyle, D. C. Snyder and
E. Burke, agreeing to take the machines
out of their place. In accordance with
the agreement nolle prosequis were en
tered.
P. 11. Kellv, a Pittston cigar mer
chant, declined the proffered terms of
settlement and was called for trial.
The machine in Mr. Kelly's place, it
was shown, was a card machine on
which cigars were given for "pairs,"
"straights," "flushes," "fours," "full
houses," etc.
As the indictment charged gambling
for money the court took the caso from
the jury after hearing the common
wealth's testimony and directed a ver
dict of not guilty.
