AUTHOR OF TlfE BROWNIES.
Tendered a Reception at tho Uotcl Ter
race Last Night.
Palmer Cox, the author of the
Brownies, arrived in the city last night
and was tendered a reception at the
Hotel Terrace. Mr. Cox came here to
personally supervise the production of
the Brownies, which will be seen at the
Frothingham the last three days of this
week. Malcolm Douglass, who com
posed the music for the Brownies, has
been In the city for several days and
was present at the reception given to
Mr. Cox.
Prior to the reception Mr. Cox waB
serenaded by the Lawrence band at the
hotel. The reception was followed by a
banquet. Those present were Palmer
Cox, Malcolm Douglass, Arthur Froth
ingham, Attorney M. W. Lowry, LIvy
S. Richard, E, T. Sweet, Fred C. Hand,
W. W. Youngs, P. W. Gallagher, John
H. Blackwood, R. J. Beamish, J. E.
Kern, J. R. Burnett and J. F. Mitchell.
Mr. Cox gave an interesting account
of the origin of the Brownie series of
articles. Prior to the fourteenth cen
tury there had been a firm belief among
the people of the western part of Scot
land that the Brownies were in every
family and finished up the work left
undone by the good housewife when
she retired for the night. From this
legend Mr Cox evolved the little peo
ple who have proved so interesting and
entertaining.
Remarks were also made by John H.
Blackwood, J. E. Kern, M. W. Lowry
and Llvy S. Richard.
THERE IS ONLY ONE CASE.
Rumor Thnt Scarlet Fever Is Prevalent
at the Homo Is Incorrect.
Some Inconvenience has been caused
to the matron and Inmates of the Home
for the Friendless by a report, that a
large number of the residents' of tho
home were suffering from scarlet fever.
The official notice of the board of health
has been displayed on the house for
five weeks, but during that period only
one of the Inmates has been affected.
There are forty-eight residing In the
home, exclusive of the matron and
staff, and the general health of the In
stitution Is reported to be excellent.
The Invalid is a little 7-year-old child,
and is making satisfactory progress to
ward recovery. During Its illness the
little sufferer has been well Isolated In
a cozy room on the third floor, and
the precautions taken have prevented
the spread of the feVer. Dr. Hellner
has been unremitting in his efforts to
relieve the sufferer.
JEWISH.GERJWAN ADDRESS.
Mr, Gacbclln Is to Open a Mission in This
City.
A meeting of unusual interest was
held at Finley'a hall, on Lackawanna
avenue, last night when Rev. A, C.
Gaebelin, superintendent of tho Hope of
Israel mission, New. York City, ad
dressed a large gathering of Hebrews
In Jewish-German upon religious ques
tion of vital Interest to the Jewish com
munity. Mr. Gaebelin, Is not, as was
previously announced, a Hebrew, but
Is of German extraction, and an emln
ent Hebrew ncholar, and one who has
made a lifo study of the history of the
Jewish nation.
Mr, Gabaelln will, ot an early date,
open a Hebrew mission in Scranton,
and hopes to secure the assistance of
all Christian people In the movement,
He will be glad .to receive communica
tions from Christian and Hebrew
friends at 209 Madison street, Jv'ew
York City. .
MISS HEATH'S LECTURE.
tt Included a Display of Valunblo
Autotypes.
Miss Heath's second art lecture for the
benefit of the Green Ridge library build
ing fund, was delivered last , night In
the library building. Her subject,
'-'Rubens and Vandyck, . the greatest
Flemish Painters," elicited wrapt atten
tion by an audience much larger than
heard the first lecture of the course.
Autotypes by Maison, Brown & Co.,
of N,ew York, were shown, and at
tracted more man ordinary notice,
They are direct reproductions of photos
from the original and are peculiarly
valuable In possessing a shade and
gloss, absent In engravings and like
reproductions. The process is secret
to the firm, which alone possesses the
entre for photographing purposes to the
many royal galleries of the Continent
and London.
The next lecture will be on Thurs
day nights ot April 18 and 25, when the
subjects will be respectively "Greuze
and LeBrun, of the French School,"
and "The Barblzon School." The ad
mission price to either lecture will be
50 cents. The commendable object in
view Is expected to attract increased
interest and attendance.
, IN LOCAL THEATERS.
Ellta Proctor Otis and company will
appear at the Academy of Music Thurs
day evening in a grand production of
"Oliver Twist." Mlsa Otis will assume
the character of Nancy Sykes, in which
she stands as a poor, frail woman, the
common law wife of fliat incarnate
brute and ruffian, BUI Sykcs, a coarse
but loving creature; coarse not by na
ture, but from her surroundings. Her
loyalty to Bill, her sympathy for Oliver,
her desire to be better, her tragic death,
are all portrayed In the most artistic
manner by Miss Otis. Miss Otis has
made n close study of Nancy, and her
performance is very clever. In tho
lighter moods Bhe carried it with a
cheerfulness and buoyancy that Is
captlvutlng. In the hate of the virago
for the nagging Fagln, she Is artistical
ly successful, and in on equal degree
her work in the death scene Is terribly
realistic.
II II II
That merry extravaganza "Pnlmer
Cox's Brownies." with Its aerial ballet
composed of half a dozen serpentine
dancers, the Brownie rnft In mid-ocean,
the singing moon and the Brownie Ger
man band, will be presented at the
Frothingham Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, and Saturday matinee, April
4, 5 nnd 6. The merriment Is continu
ous from the rise to the' fall of the cur
tain. The situations follow euch other
so rapidly and so consistently that she
Interest is never lost.- The Brownies
are quaint enough to amuse anybody,
and they scramble through the per
formance with wonderful energy and
nlmbleness. Not only the Brownies
amuse, but the fairies are as
vivacious as ever, nnd the demons
triumph for a time. The startling me
chanical effects, particularly the earth
quakes and volcanoes and tho flying
fairies and the flying ships, interest tho
audience. The aerial ballet elicits
hearty applause. The dancers present
their midair performance to the accom
paniment of flashing colored lights.
Another Interesting feature of the show
is the remarkable acrobatic perform
ance of the Richards family. All of
them are clever In their line.
II II II
The knowledge of the great success
which attended E. II. Sothern's produc
tion of his new comedy, "Captain Let-
tarblalr," is almost as positive among
theater-goers here as in New York it
self. Therefore the statement that Mr.
Sothern will be at the Academy of
Music Friday night to give the first per
formance here of "Captain Lettarblalr"
will be a welcome one. No play this
young comedian has ever presented has
proven a more popular success and none
have ever demanded thd giving of three
matinees a week, as was done with this
one to satisfy the public. "Captain
Letterblalr" was taken off In the height
of Its success at the Lyceum theater,
New York, to fulfill its contracts ion the
road. The new play is more in the
style of his "Lord Chumley" than his
other plays, yet there is a distinct dif
ference, there being less of the heroic
and more of the comedy sentiment and
pathos of life. Mr. Sothern's character
Is that of a young Irish officer, hot
headed, Impulsive, witty, yet honorable
and a gentleman, with a most delightful
brogue.
II II II
"A Railroad Ticket," to be presented
at tho Academy Saturday night by a
good company, is one of those farce
comedies running over with mirth, fun
and dashing humor. All the old farce
comedy situations have been cast aside
and the lilts are confined to extremely
up-to-date things. Including the rain
making craze, suburban real estate,
and other novel Ideas. x
II II II
Two causes will combine to attract
theater-goers to Scranton at the Acad
emy of Music Saturday, April 13; one Is
the most wonderful, but very marked
popularity of Mr. and Mrs. Kendal, the
knowledge that whatever they and
their company undertake Is well worth
seeing; the other Is the knowledge the
opportunity of seeing them Is limited to
only one performance and their fare
well engagement in Scranton, which
will be attended by a brilliant assem
blage of artistic, social and Intellectual
notabilities. The play selected for their
final appearance In this city will be
Plnero's renowned play, "the Second
Mrs. Tanqueray." Mr. and Mrs. Ken
dal and an excellent company appeared
here last season in a grand production
of "The Ironmaster" and scored a great
Buccess.
' II II II
The now realistic scenic and mechani
cal production, "Temptation of Money,"
will be the attraction at Davis' theater
Thursday,-Friday and Saturday. This
new scenic melodrama is said to be one
of the greatest hits of .this season, and
is is claimed that the scenic and me
chanical effects are new and novel, and
that: the play is a most fascinating one.
Messrs. Boyer and Hardy, the managers,
have spared no pains In making "Temp
tation of Money" an Ideal production,
dramatically as well as scenlcally, as
they have engaged an .exceptionally
strong cast. There are several high
class specialties Introduced.

WAS AN EXCITING EPISODE
Detective Scuiilon and . Hatter Dunn
Were the Central Figures.
THE P0RMEH USED A REVOLVER
An I'npald Olll Was at tho Bottom of the
Dlficulty Principals' Stories Do
Not Agree as to Details-Statements
of Iloth Men.
Detective Anthony Scanlon and Hat
ter Alexander Dunn, Jr., had an alter
cation In the former's office, at Wyo
ming avenue and Spruce street, yester
day morning, which resulted In Mr.
Scanhm firing two shots at Mr. Dunn,
and the latter beating a hasty retreat
from the building. The stories of the
principals concerning the cause of the
trouble do not harmonize at all. It Is
conceded by both that the difficulty
arose owr a bill thut Mr. Scanlon
owed Mr. Dunn.
Tills bill, Mr. Dur.n rays. Mr. Scan
lon refused to pay, notwithstanding
that he was requested so to do a num
ber of timcB. Mr. Dunn declares that
tho greatest satisfaction he could get
out of Mr. Reunion In response to the
dunning the latter received, was the
statement that If Mr. Dunn wanted his
money he could sue for It.
Yesterday morning, Mr. Dunn says,
he went to the olllce of Colonel F. J.
Fltzslmmons to make Inquiries about
the leant! of liln utore on Wyoming ave
nue. Mr. Scnnlou has desk room In the
colonel's ofllce,. and ns Mr. Dunn was
retiring he spoke to Mr. Hoonlon con
cerning tho 1)111.
Mr. Dunn rays that without reasona
ble provocation Mr. Scanlon threw a
piece of iron at him, following that
action up by firing two shots. Mr.
Dunn alleges that Mr. Scanlon raid
that the reason he would not pay the
bill was because Mr. Dunn, as a mem
ber of the grand Jury, Ignored the bills
against the Center street pool sellers.
On his part Mr. Scanlon says that
he has never objected to pnylng Mr.
Dunn what he was rightfully entitled
to have. Mr. Dunn, he says, rendered
him a bill which he believed was exces
slble. He marked the overcharges and
sent a check for the balance. This
check was returned to him, he says,
with a curt note from Mr. Dunn. Then
Mr. Scanlon told Mr. Dunn that he
could bring suit before an alderman
and that they would there adjust their
differences. This Mr. Dunn declined to
do.
"I have been grossly Insulted by Mr.
Dunn a number of times recently,"
said Mr. Scanlon yesterday. "He
abused me publicly and said he would
lake the bill out of my hide if I did not
pay him and I threatened to have him
put under bonds to keep the peace.
This morning he came to my olllce and
again insulted me. He moved toward
me as If to offer personal violence and
I retaliated."
It will be seen that these stories are
widely divergent.
Mr. Scanlon was arrested and en
tered ball to appear at a hearing be
fore Alderman Fuller this afternoon at
4 o'clock.
