LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
(Tinder this heading short letters of in
terest will be published when accompa
nied, for publication, by the writer's
name. The Tribune will not be held re
sponsible for opinions here expressed.)
DR. LEETE RESPONDS.
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir In your local article in today's
Tribune unintentionally, no doubt, but
guided solely by what Mr. Baldwin read
from alleged Sunday News' proofs on Sat
urday nlKht you did me an Injustice
which I trust your sense of fairness will
lead you to correct. My article, as It ap
peared In the Sunday News summarized
contention In the following challenges:
First We challenge the Baldwins to
permit any physicians from their audi
ences to make tests or Mrs. Baldwin s
condition in her alleged hypnotic state or
somnomancy.
Second W e challenge the Baldwins to
permit such committee from their audi
ences to be on the stage while she Is an
swering questions, and to examine Mrs.
Baldwin's state from a near position.
"Third We challenge the Baldwins to
attempt their 'dream descriptions' Im
mediately after the questions are written
by the persons in the audience, and with
out any Intermediate diversions of on
hour's Interval between the written ques
tions and Mrs. Baldwin s answers.
"Fourth We further challenge the
Baldwins to conduct their question and
answer process without requiring any In
the audiences who write questions to
sign their names to them. If Mrs. Bald
win's knowledge were the result of clair
voyance then she could as well tell who
wrote the questions, If the lutter were un
signed, as the phraseology or sense of
the questions asked."
Referring to Mr. Baldwin's bluffllngs
on Saturday night, and failure to meet
my tests, the real article In the News
said:
"Last night, Mr. Baldwin said he would
accept till these challenges, but as a mat
ter of fact he accepted none. He did not
permit any medical committee to ex
amine his wife, did not omit tho variety
performance between the writing of the
questions and her answers to them, nor
the universal writing of the questioner's
names. In fact, lie admitted she could do
better with them."
. These challenges are still unmet, and I
shall have more to say concerning them
hereafter In the proper place.

OPENING - OF THE RIRMESS
Is a Trctty Spectacle and Has Made
a Hit.
LARGE AUDIENCE DELIGHTED
With Each Succeeding Performance the
Klrmess Will Increase In Popularity
Matinees of Children's Donees
Begin This Afternoon.
The Klrmess began last night In the
Frothlngham, and the initial perform
ance or dancing scored a euccess which
Is bound to Increase In popularity with
each succeeding matinee and evening.
The audience did not tax the seating
capacity of the theater, but It was large
and appreciative.
As for the Klrmess, aside from the
local Interest centered upon It, It Is a
spectacle of pretty features, Is Inspiring
and will prove a drawing" attraction on
its merit. Such was the reasonable
opinion expressed by many who had
been delighted last night with the com
blnntion of graceful dancers, fetching
costumes, the lights and the dush and
go of the thing.
After making due allowance for a few
slight delays, an occasional faltering by
the participants and a slight hitch here
and there noticed only 'by the too criti
cal the carnival proved all and per
haps mora than was expected. Each
class of dancers and the soloists and
duettlsts entered Into the spirit of their
several parts with a grace and precision
which reflects credit as much upon
themselves as upon the men and women
who have labored zealously to make the
Klrmess a success.
One Fuvorlte Dunce.
The curtuln first arose upon the
Breton Pardon dunce. It Illustrates the
romping French dance of Brittany
when; after receiving the annual abso
lution by the priests, the young folk
give vent to their joy by gay and frolic
some dancing. The shadow dance by
Miss Grace Silkman was very cleverly
executed. Then followed a tableau
and processional which included all the
participants led by Harry G. Newman,
the court jester.
In the order named were given the
following dances, including solos and
duets: North country harvest dance
(Germany), Miss Falkowsky and Mr.
Tropp, duetists; Gypsy dance (Hun
gary), Miss Edwards and Miss Mar
garet Glbbs, duetists; Maypole dance
(England), Miss Ethel Frothinghatn,
queen, and Miss Albro, attendant; mili
tary dance (Russia), Miss Hoban and
Miss Tropp, duetists; the tarantelle
(Italy), Elsie Wlnshall, soloist; High
land dance (Scotland), Captain James
Molr, Highland fling, and Mr. Gunn,
sword dance; Toreador dance (Spain),
Miss Skinner and Miss Archbald,
duetists; War and Moon dance (Amer
ican Indian), Miss Grace A. Conley,
soloist.
The whole was to conclude with a
processional and tableau, but owing to
the lateness of the hour this feature
was dispensed with. JamesP. Dickson
president of the directorate of the
Lackawanna hospital, for the benefit of
which the Klrmess is being given, made
a brief formal opening speech In which
he wittily referred to the object of the
Klrmess and some details of the event,
Some Extra Features.
The theater cantained candy, flower
and refreshment booths presided over
by well known women and attendants
In appropriate costumes. The audience
was Invited to remain for an hour after
the performance and accept the use of
the stage for dancing.
The matinees of children's dances v. ill
begin this afternoon. The curtain rises
at 4 and 8 o'clock, but the doors are
opened an hour earlier. Tickets may
be obtained throughout the week one
day In advance.
THE ROHLF RECITAL.
It Will Take Place at Y. M. C. A. Hall
Tonight.
This evening Charles Rohlf will give
one of his dramatic recitals at Young
Men's Christian Association hall for
the benefit of the Young Women's
Christian association.
He has few peers In his power of
dispensing with scenic effects and sur
Lroundlngs without a consoious loss to
his audience of these accessories. His
facility In facial and vocal expression
is wonderful, changing rapidly from
tragedy to comedy, a gift which few
possess. The programme here will In
elude Moliere's great comedy, "The
Physician in Spite of Himself," two of
the most powerful scenes from
"Merchant of Venice," and one of Mrs,
Itohlf's (Anna Katharine Green's) hero
ic poems.

IN LOCAL THEATERS.
We ore to have an entirely new Idea
in amusement called operatic comedy
not 'burlesque, extravaganza', or farce-
comedy, but an entertainment which
will add fresh laurels to the fame and
triumph of Pauline Hall. The book
from which the story Is written- la from
a German work over a century old
given some) coloring by Harry Paulton,
and to make the surroundings more pic
turesque he 'has transfered the three
scenes of the period to England. "Dor
cas," it is musically said, contains
many -numbers which are described as
being delightful and lasting. Pauline
Hall will appear Jn this operatic com
edy at the Academy of Muslo on Wed
nesday evening for the second time this
season,
II II II
Jacob Lltt's magnlllcent production
of "The Ensign" wll lie seen at the
Academy of Muslo Thursday evening.
Much interest is .felt In the event be
cause the play treats of a phase of life
that has been hitherto untouched by
latter-day dramatists. It has the merit
of novelty, possesses an interest and
spirited story and is generally admitted
to be one of the most creditable of re
cent American plays. A big cast la
required and actors of mope thani ordi
nary ability are necessary to a proper
Interpretation of the parts.
II II II
The Academy of Muslo will have an
exceptional attraction on Friday night
when Otto Skinner makes his first ap
pearance luere as a star in Clyde Fitch's
successful new comedy, "His Grace de
Grammont." Mr. Skinner Is highly es
teemed, both for his personal and pro
fessional work, and has left pleasant
ecollectlons here by his admirable per
formances in past years As an actor
he ranks with the very best on the
American stage, and his position aa a
star has 'been gained by diligent and
unceasing work combined with consplo
uous natural gifts. The play will have
a very beautiful production. The lo
cality and time furnishing opportunity
for much richness in costumes, stage
setting and other appointments. The
Bale of seats begins Wednesday morn-
iig.

B0SGH1N0 MURDER TRIAL
he Day Consumed in an Effort to
Secure Twelve Jurors.
WO VACANT SEATS IN THE BOX
Effort Will Bo Mode This Morning to Se
cure the Two Jurors Needed from
Thoso Stood Aside-Story of
Murder of Francesco Conforli.
Great crowds of people surged Into
the main court room yesterday where
Joseph Boschlno is on trial for the mur
der of Francesco Corifortl at Bunker
Hill, Dunmore, on Sunday night, Nov.
11, 1S94. The murderer is an Italian, and
among those who haunted the court
huuse all day were many of his coun
try people. The uccused sat ut the de
fendant's table along with his attor
neys, Wurd & Horn, of this city, and
L. P. Wedeman, of Forest City.
He paid close attention to the details
of the work of securing u Jury, but
betrayed no nervousness or dread as to
the outcome of this trial which may
consign him to the gallows.
Boschlno Is a slight built man and
would probably weigh nut over 140
pounds. He hus clear cut, regular fea
tures, und Is of a much lighter com
plexion than the- majority of his coun
trymen. He has dark brown hair and
large moustache of the same color
that covers the cheeks for un Inch each
side of the mouth, giving the face a
Bomewhat fierce expression. His eyes
are large and rather deep set and are
shuded by heavy eyebrows. His fore
head Is -high and full and he Is evi
dently a man of considerable intelli
gence. He was attired in a plaid punts,
a black coat and vest and un outing
shirt. An orange und black tie orna
mented his neck.
Trying to (ict u Jury.
At 10.30 yesterday morning Boschlno
was called and formally arraigned be
fore the court by District Attorney
Jones, who will be asslted In prosecut
ing the case by Attorney H. L. Taylor,
private counsel for Nicholas Confortl,
brother of the murdered man. County
Detective Leyshon also occupied a seat
at the commonwealth s table. After
Boschlno had been arraigned the work
of selecting a Jury was begun, and
when court adjourned at 4.30 yesterday
afternoon ten men were secured who
had no conscientious scruples against
capital punishment und who were will
ing to pass upon the casts from the law
and the evidence.
Jurors dislike to serve on murder
trials und not infrequently conjure up
fierce conscientious scruples against
capital punishment to unlit them from
pusslng upon a case that may deserve
the death penalty. Others form such
cast Iron opinions regarding the merits
of the ense simply from reading the
newspapers that they are quite positive
no amount of evidence, however con
vincing, could sway their minds from
the position in which the newspapers
have anchored them.
Among the jurors examined yester
day were several who evidently had
hard work to convince themselves that
they were not proper persons to pass
upon the merits of the case. They suc
ceeded, however.
Nuines of Jurors.
The names, occupation and residence
of the ten good men and true already
secured In the order in which they wefc e
sworn follow:
Walter Doran, farmer, Covington.
George Y. Hoft'man, clerk, Scranton.
Lewis Fulldtt. mill hand, Scranton.
Claude B. Smith, ticket agent, Carbon
dale.
Thomas Atkinson, merchant, Mooslc.
Lafayette Matthews, barn boss, May
tleld. C. S. Seamans, merchant, Scranton.
Allen V. Rush, carpenter. Scranton.
Charles Beckett, muchinist, Scranton.
Alexander B. Bryden, miner, Fell.
Fifty-nine jurors were called, of
whom twenty-two were stood asid
Twenty-three were challenged for cause
and eleven were challenged by the de
fendant and one by the commonwealth.
He was an Italian named Nicholas Con
fortl, who disclaimed all relationship
to the murdered man. About 4 o'clock
the panel was exhausted and the jurors
stood aside were recalled. Six were ex
amined before court adjourned. From
the remaining sixteen it Is probable the
two jurors neoded will be secured and
it will not be necessary to Issue a spe
cial venire.
Boschlno, Ithe) "accused, has been in
America nbout ten years, seven years of
which was spent at Forest City, where
he wns employed as a fireman. About
three years ago he removed to pun
more and has since resided there,
llistory of the Murder.
On the night of the murder, for which
Boschlno Is now on trial, he was re
turning from Dunmore along with Tony
Imbrlnlaand Fruncesco Confortl. They
got Into an argument and Boschlno ac
cused Confortl of having made advances
to Mrs. Boschlno. It Is alleged that
Boschlno drew a razor while the party
were on the bridge spanning the Roar
ing Brook on the road leading to Bunk
er Hill, and threatened to cut Confortl's
throat and throw him Into the stream.
At this time Rocco Salvator Joined
the party. His hand got in the way of
lloschlno's razor and was cut. Boschlno
then started up the path towards Bun
ker Hill, and, after talking a few min
utes, Imbrlno started home, and Sal
vator and Confortl walked along the
path Boschlno had traversed a few
minutes previous. Confortl was some
distance in advance of his companion
and when he reached a clump of laurels
he was shot by a man Salvator claims
was Boschlno. The wound proved
fatal.

on every dollar's worth purchased from
us tiom now until March h Our im
mense stock of canned goods, teas,
soap, cigars, etc, etc., are all subject
to the above discount; also fresh meats,
and, in fact, everything we handle
except sugar, Hour, and feed. Our
prices without this discount are al
ready the lowest in the valley, and art
low enough, but we make this special
mid-winter offer, feeling sure it will
be appreciated by some at least and be
no loss to us in the long run. Having
no rent to pay, having facilities for
handling goods at small cost, and the
large amount of goods we handle make
it possible for us to make figures that
would be out of the question for every
dealer to make.

"It 1 1 HB,"
When the advertising atmosphere is so
heavily charged with exaggeration, it
is well to remember who the honest
advertisers are. Windy assertions about
GREAT reductions advertising goods
at impossible prices, find no lodging
place in the minds of intelligent people.
Dull trade throughout the legitimate
business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clothiers to
attract trade, but the schemers will
have to scheme harder and find new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from coming
to this store for honest values. The
triumph of this store is the triumph of
intelligence, and you have made it so.
Trade has been up to the mark here,
yet there's a touch of attractiveness in
the stvlcs and assortments. We've add
ed another and more taking attraction
REDUCED PRICES, natural order of
things here at this season; LOWER
PRICES than you find ELSEWHERE.
