theater last evening to witness "Our New Minister," written by Denman Thompson and George W. Ryer, authors of "The Old Homestead" the first and best of pastoral plays. Their second effort, whtle It will probably never reach the stage of popularity attained by their first, will undoubtedly flourish for some time to come. "Our New Minister" may In every sense be called a true pastoral play. The scene is laid in Hardscrab ble, New Hampshire, a rough and rugged country place, where the people are nigh as poor as the ground which they till and where the life of every one is an open book which is read by all on the steps of the postofflce and general store.

To the piece itself there Is little plot. It is only the doings of a few days in the village when things are livened by the coming of the new minister. Even this, it seemed, was not enough excitement for the people, fos at almost the' same time, Lem Ransom, formerly one of the characters of the village, was released from prison and returned home. The appearance of the new minister and the violent shock which his preaching caused set the village tongues awagglng and furnished a new subject for the whittlers at the village store. And then his protection of the ex convict, when the former minister had spurned him, caused a mild sensation.

In preaching his new theories to. the children of fathers and mothers who hail been brought up under the "Blue Laws" of New England, he taught something which had been unheard of In Hardscrabble. In the course of events the new minister fell In love with Ransom's daughter Nance, and all ended happily. The whole portrayal of country life was pretty. The simple lives of simple folk, with its irresistible charm, was there, and it struck a pleasant chord on the heartstrings of the audience.

The quaint sayings and ideas of Curt Ho'ten, the, astounding knowledge of the postmas ter and storekeeper who had a marvel ous memory for dates, and the sharp sayings of Dorcas Tattleby, the village gossip, each presented a phase of country life that went to make up a very pretty whole. As Thaddeus Strong, the new minister, Ernest Hast ings was a man of a new type to the villagers, one who would have a cook ed dinner on Sunday. He gave an excellent portrayal. Joseph Conyers, as Darius the country detective, made one of the best impressions of the evening. His part dealt altogether with comedy, and he a ludicrous representation of that all important person, the village constable.

John Farley, as Skeezicks, a boy from New York, was very good. Miss Grace Han son, as Nance Ransom, gave a charm ing rendition of the part. The other members' were all first class In their parts and aided materially in making up a very pretty whole. PERSONAL Mrs. Jeanette Luther is visiting rela tives in Towanda.

QPENED T0DrY Laurel Line Cars Now Run to Hancock. A PICTURESQUE SECTION Between Pittston and Wilkesbarre, the Line Runs on the Sidehill, Over looking the River, and Affords Splendid View of Wyoming Valley, Pittston Is no longer the southern terminal for the cars of the Laurel Line. Beginning this morning, the cars run through from Scranton to Han cock, a station located near Plains Extra cars were placed on the line to day, so that the regular 20 mlnute schedule is being maintained. Cars were running on schedule time today and quite a number of people took ad vantage of the opportunity offered make a trip over the lower division of the road. There Is no more attractive part of the Laurel Line than that which overlooks the river, between Jenkins township and Wilkesbarre.

Along thi stretch the tracks are on the sidehill so that a fine view of the valley is at forded to passengers. From the heigh near Inkerman the Wyoming mono ment. on the west side of the river. Is clearly in view. This is the only rail way line running through the valley from which the monument can be plainly seen.

The other lines are so low that the trees and brush along th river bank obscure the view from them. Perhaps the most important con struetive work on the branch opened today is the long cut through soli. rock at the lower Pittston city Lower down on the division there are several iron bridges, among them an overhead one on the back road run ning through Plains township. Ther are no grade crossings, and the entire division is enclosed with wire fences as is the line between thins city Scranton. There is no cause for delay anywhere along the line, and although this was the first day for cars "to be run regularly over the tracks, the work on the road Is of such a substantial character that the cars ran smoothly and no trouble was experienced in making schedule time.

There is a fine stone and brick passenger and power station combined at Hancock, the pres ent southern terminus of the line, which is located on the hillside near Plains, within about 600 feet of the East Pittston line of the Wilkesbarre and Wyoming Valley Traction Co. Pas sengers traveling between Wilkesbarre and Scranton on the new line will be obliged to change cars either at Han cock or this city until the line int Wilkesbarre is completed. There is considerable valuable electrical ma chinery In the power station at Han cock. The plans of the company's elec trieal engineers provide for the run ning of a current of volts on high tension wires direct from the Scranton power house to Hancock where, by means of electrical machin ery, the current is transformed an turned into the feed wires at a voltage of about 600, for the purpose of strengthening the power on the lower end of the line.

Stench From S. Main St. Dumping Ground Unbearable. Numerous complaints have been heard from the residents of the lower portion of South Main street regarding the condition of the dumping ground at that place, and the matter should be looked into at once by the city author. ities.

Refuse and decaying matter are left there uncovered, making It verv liaagreeablc and dangerous to the resl dentg who are living in the vicinity of the place. Last Saturday night a whole carload of decaying potatoes was dumped on the ground and left uncov ered. The situation over Sunday was almost unbearable to the residents of the vicinity. A man Is kept there by the city to sec that all matter is cov ered, but he quits work at o'clock Saturday afternoon and it Is claimed that a great amount of refuse Is dumped on Saturday nights. This is a matter for our health department 1.0 look into.

Mrs. b. B. Brad6haw, ol Outhrie, cured of a severe case by Lydia E. Pinkham Vegetable Compound.

A great many women suffer with a form ol Indigestion or dyspepsia which does not seem to yield to ordinary medical treatment. While the symptoms seem to be similar to those of ordinary indigestion, yet the medicines universally prescribed do not seem to restqre the patient's normal condition. Mrs. Pinkham claims that there Is a kind of dyspepsia that is caused by derangement of the female organism, and which, while it causes disturbance similar to ordinary indigestion, cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only acts as a stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine tonic effects as well. TliowtnndH of testimonial let term prove loyonl question that nothing will relieve this distressing condition so surely rs Lydia Plnkhnm's Vegetable Compound.
