SOME BEAUTIFUL CREATIONS.
They Are Exhibited at Jonas Long's
Sons' Millinery Opening.
Pel Imps the most elaborate nnd nl
together attractive millinery opening
eer seen In Scrunton was that nt the
gteat store ni Jnnni Long'H Sons yes

a gala appeal nne white and livcnder
effects nddlng to the general Easter

ed with violets and swung thtough tho
wide second floor space! is studded
within and without with electric lights
thnt at nightfall make a stilklngly
brilliant appearance. Throughout the
millinery depattmtnt. which occupies
.1 vast space on the kernel floor, the
decorations were elaborate and attract
lip. A largo ball of white clover blos
soms, another of white and put pic vio
lets, together with masses of palms and
green branches, ropes and sprays of
almond nnd apple blossoms and filmy
draperies of every conceivable Into
made a wonderful color effect.
Edward Long, who has undo such a
special study of artistic mllllnerv, to
gether with other members of tho firm,
were assisted by elegantly dressed
ladles In showing attention to tho
crush of visitors who thronged the
rooms. Mls Clioen, who hn succeed
ed Miss Urlstol as directing this de
partment, was present with her usual
courtcoiiF personnel.
The Easter display of hats nnd bon

Another thing lmpi esses the observer,
and that Is the size of the hats. This
Is not a season of modest, little toques
nnd put little creations Everything
Is expansive and all pervading. One
of the swell hats in white and gieen
Is cxttemely large. White mallnc
masses of white bouvaulico nnd the
daintiest green foliage make tills round
hat one of the most exquisite beauty.
Another lnigo hat is of pale blue

filmy eftect. A violet hat Is a ttiple

with tiny black wings and with
amethyst hued llbbon with Infinitesi

of deftly shined chiffon, giving the
exact effect of a thistle down Still
another hat has an uuangement of
lace plumes and flowers that give an
effect of sea foam.

BRILLIANT LECTURE
IN BICYCLE HOUSE
DELIVERED BY PROFESSOR H.
D. WINCHESTER.
His Topic Wns "In nn Old Castlo".
Lectuie Wns One of the Most De
lightful Events in tho Literary
History of Scranton The Old Cas
tlo Referred to Wns Ludlow,
Around Which So Much English
History Clings Notables Asso
ciated with It.
A large and cultured nudlence list
ened last evening to Professor II. D.
Winchester, of Wosleyan university, In
his famous lectuie, "In an Old Castle,"
given under tho auspices of Asbury
church, of Cireen Ridge, In tho
Bicycle club house. It was with
out doubt one of the most thoroughly
delightful events in the literary history
of Scranton. Professor Winchester's
vast attainments, his exquisite diction
and more than all his happy faculty
of weaving historical Intciest Into a
tale of centuries gone by captivated
the nudlence.
The "old castle" Is Ludlow, tho spot
rich In tradition, famous In the Wnrs
of the Roses, rich in history, for here
unhappv Catherine, of Aragon spent
some of her wretched days, leaving
the name of Catherine's tower to pre
seive her memory; and here were the
two boy princes beforo they went to
the Tower. In tho sixteenth century
Ludlow Castlo was tho seat of the
Prince of Wales. In 155S Queen
Elizabeth sent Sir Henry Sidney to
dwell therein, nnd In the succeeding
fifty icaia it was the center of great
events.
The speaker described the old castle
and the luxury of the times when tho
silver and gold plate on a nobleman's
table was worth $73,000, and when In
doublets of velvet, slashings of satin,
velvet shoes with rubles In tho buckles
nnd a cloud of laro lace gushing forth,
tho com tiers of the daj stepped down
tho stately hulls. Yet were they not
only couitleis but the eonquerois of
the world, the flower of chlvahy.
LAND riTLL OF JEWELS.
"Gold and Jewels; why not?" naively
asked the spal;er. "What else were
they for, when the land was full of
them and twenty-five millions of ti ens
ure came in on one vessel. The ladies,
far bo It from me to describe their
attire, but we can believe they kept
will In ndvanco of tho men as they
do yet. Any school giil lemembeis
that Queen Elizabeth had "!,000 chesses
In her vvnichobc "
A description of the Sldnejs vu-s
then given, paitlculaiiy of Ladv Mary,
sister of tho Ill-fated Lady Jane Orey,
and her brother. Lord Loleestet, Earl
of Dudley, whom Elizabeth, tho wo
man, loved. If Elizabeth, the Queen,
denied her hand. A wondeirully vivid
portrait of Leicester was then given
tho man who had seen his noaiest
lolutlves peilsh on the scaffold, and
who mn have allowed his wariness
to degonoiato into Intrigue: who
killed Amv Robsart, and poisoned the
Earl of Essex, and yet whom Sponsor
could not have called tho Prince
Aithur of his 'Tally Queen," had ho
been all his enemies had said.
Tho brief meteor-like life of Mary
SIdne.v's son, Sir Philip, the "pattern
gentleman" of his times, was pictured
with deft touches dying as he did at
3.', and calling forth that marvolour
obituary In which he is ilesciibed as
one boaiing "tho lineaments of the
Gospel." Maiy Sidney, his sister, with
all her raio giaces, wasal-o portrayed,
and that gieatest of all epitaphs was
quoted
Vinlriiioath this s.ible hearse
Lies the subjict of all trse
Slilnev's slstei, Pembroke' mother.
Dentil ore thnu Inst laln another
Lorn nod and fair and good as she
Time shall thiow a dirt nt thee."
PFRITY Or SIDNEY'S AFFECTION.
Considerable paco was devoted to
a porttalt of Penelope Doveieaux, Sir
Philip Sidney's "Stella" In the sonnets
of "Astiophel nnd Stella," and his
oailv love so III fated, and so unhappy
In her marriage to another The put
Ity of Sldnoj's affection was empha
sized. Then followed a beautiful tri
bute to Sii Walter Raleigh, who ac
complished tho whole orbit of human
endeavor and achlevment, and a
graphic view wns given of the gieat
navigators of tho times, including
Frobishor, Dinke and Grenvillo.
A review of tho literary beacons ot
the ago was gen. Including a vivid
porttalt of Ron Jonson. Spenser, a
Sluikcspeato play on Its "flist night,"
and lastly of John Milton, in connec
tion with whom tho speaker uttoied
tho clever epigram that then "tho Pur
itans lost poetiy and the poets lost
puilty."
The final picture was of a leceptlon
In this old castle to tho Eail of Uildge
water. after which tho hcene closed
with a final glimpse only of Samuel
Butler In his "chamber ovei tho gate"
penning his satlie of "Hudlbras."
The lectuie was one that held tho
audience bieathless with Interest.

MR. TRUESDALE'S VIEW.
New President Talks Hopefully of
the Anthracite Trade.
"President Truesdnlo, of the Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western com
pany, takes an optimistic view of the
anthracite coal trade, and while ho docs
not say there w 111 be no cutting of coal
prices by his compuny, ho gives tho
Impression that as far as he Is con
cerned, prices will be maintained," says
the Philadelphia Press "The outlook
Is encouraging, and while he has only
boon at tho head of this conipanv for
n short time, he Is considering a num
ber of important lmpiovements.
"Mr. Truesdnle In an affable manner
spoke In well-measured words of tho
futuie of the companj. and he thought
tho outlook was encouiaglng. Ho dwelt
on closer relations between coal com
panies and said there was no trust, but
the Individual coal operators would bo
looked after and the main thing would
bo the keeping of the production down
so as not to exceed the demand."
WILL BE NO ROWDYISM
Firemen's Convention Here to Be
Conducted on a New Plan.
Delegates Will Readily
Tall in Line.
Both tho executive and general com
mittees of the fli omen's fair met yes
terday, the foimcr In the afternoon
at Chief Hlckoy's ofllce, and the lat
ter In the evening at the common coun
cil chambei.
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee tho main matter discussed was
tho best moans of combating the feel
ing that has spread that a lliemen's
state convention Is undesirable, on th
ground thnt the crowd thnt will at
tend Is a dt-cldedlv lively one. to put
It mildlv. Tho committee realized that
there was no denjlng that tho dole
gates came for a good time and insist
on having It. hut It was tho expeilenco
of those of the committee who have
attended these annual gatherings th it
tho vlsltnts invailably only follow out
the programme that Is auanged for
them.
It a word, the delegates did Just what
they wore encouraged to do by their
onteitalnois.
The ScTanton committee pioposes to
see to It that the public at laigo will
have no cause to complain ot tho con
duct of those who will attend the con
vention hoio. Fliomon. the committee
believes, are Just like an other mn
and can be entottalnid Just like other
delegates are entertained. Tln-io will
be enough of this kind of entertain
ment piovlded to leave no time for the
objectionable kind Besides this, th
local fliomon will bo under strict '.i
sti actions to discourage Instead of en
couiaglng uny carrvings-on that will
not be appioved by the most conflimed
lover of jieui e and quiet.
Tho delegates will bo given to un
derstand nt tho outset and evc'l bofoio
they tome hero that Scianton Intends
to show them somothlns new In tho
vr of entertainment and theio Is no
question but that thev llie.v will leadllj
fall In with the committee's Idea.
'the fact that C D. Vt'egman, one
of Scranton's most ptmnlnent business
men, Is nt the head of the commitfo
Is assui.ince that Scranton need fool
no wouy about the convention leaving
any veiy undesirable fcatuic.
At tho meeting 01 the goneial com
mittee theio was little business of pub

THEY WERE SENT
TO FIX THE WIRE
AN OLD GAME SUCCESSFULLY
WORKED ON THE HILL.
Two Crooks Prctondlng to Bo Elec
tricians Gain Entrance to a Houso
nnd Ransack All the Unlocked
Rooms on tho Second Flooi Thoy
Secured a Gold Watch and Had
They Made a Moro Careful Search
Would Have Found Many Other
Valuables.
It would seem tho crooks never in
tend to let up on the "hill" district.
Now It Is a pair of sneak thieves work
ing tho old game of having been sent
to do some "fixing up" about tho house.
Yesterday they got away with a gold
watch lrom the homo of a pi eminent
resident of that badly-burglared tetril
tory. About 8 o'clock In tho morning two
men having the appearance of mechan
ics and carrying a few tools nnd a coll
of Insulated wire, called at the houso
in question. They inquired If nuch
and such a party lived there and being
answered In the affirmative stated that
they understood tho electric lights
wero not working properly and thoy
had been sent by the company to IK
them up.
FORTUNE FWORED THEM.
It so happened that the electric wir
ing was out of order, a number ot th-
Incandescent lamps having been cut
off by a "lik oak" somewhere or other.
The woman of the house supposed that
her husband had notified the electric
light company of tho trouble, and no
ticing nothing suspicious inthe action
of the men teadllv admitted them and
explained nt length the trouble.
The pseudo electricians fumbled
away for some thro nt the s.v Itches
and connections, but as the ladv of
tho houo stood by all tho time they
had no opportunity of doing th" leal
work thoy had come for. Thoy made
an excuo for their Inability to locate
tho trouble by saving they wer slwt
ot some necessary tools and wont away
stating that they would return direct
ly with the needed Implements.
They were as good as their word In
lespect to coming back At 11 o'clock
they came ngaln, wero admitted by a
servant, and, without waiting to be
nnnounccd pioceeded to the upper floor
of the house, wheie they had been
pieviously engaged.
HAD THEIR LITTLE JOKE.
In the course of half and hour thoy
wont away, telling the gltl wha let
them out that she might toll Mis.
"the wit os weie all light, now." Some
time later v.iien the lady of the houso
went upstalis to veilfy the statement
she discovered that every unlocked
loom had been innsacked.
An Inventory showed only a gold
watch missing. The thieves had wait
ed an opportunity when the second
flooi was left to themselves and then
made a hasty lound ol the rooms. Had
theli search been careful they woul 1
have secuted a big haul, as th"ie was
consldeiable jewelry and other valu
ables stowed away In the rooms that
woio entered.
Chief of Police Robllug was nottflc 1
so that he might at least warn olher.3
against the ciooks. The chief wis te
quested to keep fiom the newspapeis
the name of the party who was visUi J.
DEATH Or ABRAM THOMAS.
Asphyxiated in tho Biistol House at
Wilkes-Barrc.
Abi.im Thomas, a lesidonl of Nantl
coko, was found dead In bed at S. in
o'clock jesterday morning in the Btls
tol houso, on Public squnie. Wllkos
Ba rte Thomas boaided with Ml and
Mis. Lewis Richards. In Nantlcolcc,
and came to Scianton on Thuisday
and witnessed the parade. Illuminat
ing gas, which pouied Horn an open
Jet, was the cause of his death
After the domonstiatlon Thomas
went to the home of his iclativcs, at
217 Mullein sticet, West Scranton, and
theio spent tho evening, leaving this
city on the 10.41 Delaware and Hudson
tialn. Retort going away ho Informed
his father, Llewelbn Thomas, that if
ho did not letum to the houso he
would go to Wllk.es-Harrc and theio
spend tho night befoic leturning to
Nnntlcoke.
As lai as can be learned Thomas
could have had no motive for ending
Ills life, and the Indications are strong
that his death was accidental.
Thomas' tathei went to Wilkes
Bane yesterday and made arrange
ments for the tiansfei of the remains
to this city. They will airlve some
time this morning and be icmoved to
the family residence, on Mullein stieet

THE RILEY RECITAL.
What the Elmiia Adveitlser Says
About Him.
James Whltcomb Riley's coming to
the Lyceum on next Tuesday evening
is awaited with vivid interest. Thj
sale ot seats will begin this morning.
The Elmlra Advertiser says:
"As he uttered a bit of fun his larg')
bluo eyes were gleaming with a merry
twinkle which appealed to the audience
In an Irreslstnble manner. His man
ner of delivery In impersonating tho
Indinna farmer was so natuial and
life like that one began to feel two
personalities were existing in Mr. Riley
This elocutional y talent waa finely
demonstrated In the object lesson given
the children In the country school by
a city Instructor.
"The poet recited tho beautiful lines,
'Down at Old Aunt Mary's,' and gave
