THEATRICAL

"My Friend From Arkansaw" Mr.Sherman thinks is his best and brightestplay. He thinks so because It has astrong plot to It. Not just a slenderthread of a story to hang the dialogueand the characters on; but a plot strong

enough to keep our interest iu hispeople alive, while he tickles our earswith his dry and scintillant wit, andpleases our analytical faculty with thequaint humor and the genuine pathos;and, above all, tho reality of his char-acter drawing. Tho plot is a pretty

one. Tho actions are lively and thesituations are sensational; that Is, theyhave in thein more of the human

'emotions which interest the humanheart. Mr. Sherman has considered thecraving of the modern audience fordramatic action, and with that view hehas determined to make "My FriendFrom Arkansaw" one of the best andstrongest comedy dramas ever presentedon any stage.

t t tWm. A. Brady's production of "Way

Down East," which will bo given at theGrand opera house soon, Is a story ofhomely country life in New England,and it has all the virtues and simplicityin the telling to make a groat and en-during play. There are types of char-acters in it which are familiar to all,

and the author and collaborator havesucceeded in painting them true to life.Besides this, the play has real humanityIn its moments of dramatic Intensity,and a heart Interest from end to end.Scores of ministers have used it as atext, and hundreds of others have givenIt their unqualified endorsement.

t t t"One Night in .June" will bo the at-

traction on Monday evening. The tone

of the play Is pure and sweet, andproves that tho better nature inhumanity prevails. A story of countylife, the sweet remembrance nevergrows old. It goes right to the heartof every man, woman and child. A re-freshing change from tho old wornout.

X X X"Uncle Tom" drew an audience which

filled tho opera house Monday evening,and the show was as enthusiastically re-ceived as ever before.

COURT HOUSETO BE BUILT

Plans of the Structure AreApproved hy Judges.

Seventeen Grand Juries En-dorsed the Movement forthe Erection of a NewTemple of Justice.Aftnr ten years' agitation by the pro-

moters of the plan and ten years' bitterlegal lighting by those who opposed theImprovement because of the expense,the 51,000,000 court bouse for Luzernecounty is to be built. The judges onMonday, in a long opinion, approvedthe plans of Architect P. J. Osterling,of Pittsburg, and awarded the contract

to Wilson J. Smith, of Wilkesbarre.Building Inspector Brlggs yesterday

granted a permit for the erection of thenew courthouse, and Contracter Smithsays that there will bo no further delay.

The excavations will be started at

once and the stone masons and otherswill begin work.

An effort may be made to have thesupreme court consider the case again,as members of the Taxpayers' Associa-tion allege that It will take 83,000,000to complete the work, despite the factthat the contract 19 let for 8050,000.

The site Is to be the river front,three squares from the centre of thetown. The square where court houseshave stood ever sioce the county waspretentious enough to think of agovernment of its own will now revertto the city and be turned into a publicpark, the city having given In exchangeanother site for the new building.

The new building has come only afterseventeen grand juries, iu no uncertainlanguage, have declared the presentstructure unsulted to the needs of thecounty, unhealthful. unsanitary andliable to fire which might destroy mil-lions of dollars' worth of papers and In-volvo the county in countless legaldifficulties.

The fact that the county has only81150,000 to spend on the building now,and that it will cost more than 81,000,-000 to complete, did not deter the judgesfrom approving the plans for the Im-provement. They said that the countywas wealthy enough to complete thebuilding when It was necessary to do so.
