FREELAND, PA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 2. 1901.

THEATRICALOne of those effervescent musical

comedies that go with a vim and adash from commencement to finish willbe the attraction at the Grand operahouse tomorrow evening. "A Million aMinute" is the swift title of the piece;it is a satire on the Wall street NewYork brokers. It is uproariously funnyin a refined manner, free from all horse-play and alleged humor of the roughand tumble order. It is repleto withbright, catchy musical numbers of thepopular order that one hears whistledon the streets. Allthe music is originaland was composed for this production.

In addition to these there are solos bysuch well known singers as Claire Mit-chell, whose rich mezzo-soprana voicewill be remembered as a feature of theDuff Opera Company; J. ,J. Raffael, theglorious baritone, formerly of the Mc-Caull and Conreid Opera companies;Iteulah Esmond, England's famous ladytenor, and liarry Brown, the well knowncomedian.

Then there are specialties by IlybertaPryme, a neice of President McKinley,and Jessie Burns, the celebrated Ger-man character comedienne. There aretwenty-five in the company, all of whomare singers.

t t tMildred Holland, a star of the first

magnitude, is coming with her new andmagnificent production of TheodoreKremer's romantic drama, "The PowerBehind the Throne." Miss Holland hasbeen seen in past seasons in a diversi-fied lot of characters, from Shakesperianroles under Augustin Daly's manage-ment, to hor last character success, FanFan, in "Two Little Vagrants." Thisvuar Miss Holland has a more seriousand legitimate role, and the critics whohave seen her in her new charactor,that of Aria, pronounce it one of themost artistic stage triumphs of theseason.

X X XOne of the most important productions

that will bo seen in Freeland this seasonis Chas. W. Chase's dramatization of"Quo Vadis." Aidon Benedict has beengenerous in preparing this piece forpresentation. A company of greatstrength has been engaged, the scenic

investiture is elaborate and of greatbeauty; the costumes have been care-fully prepared from classic models andworo made in Europe; the play, judgingfrom what is said by those persons whohave seen it, is strong and interesting.

i t't"Across this Atlantic" Is the title of a

monologue which will be delivered ontho 17th Inst, by Edward H. Frye at

the Grand opera house. This will betho fourth of the series of entertain-ments conducted by the Mining andMechanical Institute.

X X XTho old reliable comedy, "Side-

Tracked," will be hero In the nearfuture. The play always pleases Free-land audiences.

Two Great Nights.The ball of the Timers Athletic Club

on Monday evening eclipsed anythingof the kind over before attouipted InFreeland. Whether it was the beauti-ful decorations or the club's reputationfor conducting enjoyable balls that drewthe crowd, it is not possible to state.

The paid admissions, however, broke therecord at Yanno,' opera house by nearlyone hundred, and from 10.30 to 13 o'clockthe crush in every portion of the spac-ious building was such as to cause somediscomfort, but this was borne good-naturedly by the throng. The marchwas led by Master of CeremoniesThomas F. Welsh and sister, Miss Annie.

The decorations, as usual, compelledtho admiration of the visitors, both thoseof town and the many from neighboringtowns and cities expressing astonish-mont and pleasure at the wonderfulartistic and harmonious effects placedbofore them. Not a square foot of spacein the building was neglected by thedecorators, while the half-dozen arclamps and tho hundreds of colored andshaded incandescent lamps shed a floodof light over all which brought out thework in a manner which made the halla scene of splendor.

The handsome painting of a largoBengal tiger, placed over the stage, wasone of the features which came In for alarge share of favorable comment.

Last evening was practically a re-petition of the previous night. Thenumber In attendance was somewhatsmaller, but notwithstanding this thehall was crowded for several hours, andwhen the pleasure-seekers dispersed thismorning there ended an event whichwas a fitting welcome to the twentiethcentury.

Special Moetlnu of A. O. H.

There will bo a special meeting ofDivision No. 41, A. O. 11., at the Grandopera house hall on Friday evening,January 1. By order of

Con McCole, president.

DR. GARRISONGOES INSANE

Well Known Dentist Plac-ed in an Asylum.

After Being Released FromArrest at Scranton HeBecomes a Raving Maniacon a Railroad Train

Dr. William J. Garrison, of Dorrance-ton, this county, until recently a resi-dent of White Haven and who at onetime had a dental office in Frepland,appears to have parted with his senses.He was In Scranton a few days ago and

acted so queerly that lie was placedunder arrest. He was locked up in thestation house and later was allowed to

go on a promise to go home.Garrison was around tho city dis-

tributing small paper stickers with bib-lical quotations on them. In the after-noon he went to Providence, where hoentered a drug store and after convers-ing with the proprietor awhile hewalked over to the window and put oneof the stickers over a condensed milkadvertisement. Ho then pulled out hisknife and scraped sticker and advertise-ment off the window.

He was attracted by the yelling of thebus drivers and rushed out of the store

without his hat and with satchel inhand. He jumped into the bus, frighten-ing those already inside, and bade the

! driver proceed. The latter declined to

jdo so. This enraged Garrison and hemade a pass at the driver. He thenthrew the satchel at him and jump-ed into the front soat and attempted towhip up the horses. The police thenarrested him.

After his release from the stationhouse the dentist took a train for hishome. On the way down he becameviolent and the Wilkesbarre police weretelegraphed to take him in charge. Hewas again arrested and taken to Lu-zerne county jail. Such was his mentalcondition that it was necessary to bindhim. He was later taken to the Retreatasylum, where he shows signs of violentInsanity.

Illegal Hunting.On behalf of the Freeland Game and

Fish Protective Association, ThomasHoberts, one of the active workers ofthe club, yesterday furnished informa-tion which resulted in the prosecutionof a young man of town on the chargeof illegal hunting. He acknowledgedthe truth of the charge, which was kill-ing a rabbit out of season, and paid afine of 810 and tlio costs.

The club does not propose to spareany person in its efforts to put a stop toillegal hunting a?id fishing in Luzernecounty. Whoever Is found guilty willbe prosocutod without favor by themembers.

Persons who suffer from indigestioncan not expect to livelong, because theycan not eat the food required to nourishthe body and the products of the undi-gested foods they do eat poison theblood. It is important to cure indiges-tion as soon as possible, and the bestmethod of doing this is to use the pre-paration known as Kodol DyspepsiaCure. It digests what you eat and re-stores all the digestive organs to perfecthealth. Grover's City drug store.
