A SHREWD GAME.
Uas Been Worked In Scranton by a
Colored "Professor."
A "Prof." W. M. Boley, who has for
three years been collecting money In
Scranton, Wllkes-Barre and Philadel
phia for the Lowry Institute and Indus
trial school for colored children at
Mayesvllle, S. C, has been declared a
fraud. According to a letter from Rev,
J. E. Stevenson in reply to an inquiry
from Wllkes-Barre. Boley has not
been Identified with the school for seven
months and was dismissed for mlsap
proprlatlng funds.
The minister's letter stated that Boley
opened a store and stocked It with the
contributions and goods given him In
the North; that his field of operation
has been In Wllkes-Barre, Scranton
and Philadelphia and that he had
mailed 250 letters to those cities within
the last two weeks. The letter con
eludes as follows:
I certainly have no personal feeling in
the matter save to set the people in the
north right In regard to this fraud Boley.
I do this the more unhesitatingly because
I am myself northern by birth, education,
residence and sympathy until accepting
tne pastorate or tne Mayesvllle Presby
terlan church (white) over a year ago,
and know how northern ceoule regard
aucn appeals.
You are at poe-fect liberty to use this
letter In any manner you see fit, and I am
yours respectfully,
J. E. Stevenson.
HANDS ACROSS THE SEA.
That Popular Melodrama Can Be Seen
at Davis' Theater.
After a lone era of nrnanerltv in ti
higher priced houses In England and
America, "Hands Across the Sea," the
sterling melo-drama, found Its way to
the popular Davis theatre yesterday
afternoon and was produced to the en
joyment of a fair alsed audience. . One
thing was prominently displayed at the
performance, the individual members
of the company are usually good,
Maurice Freeman In the leading role,
gave a finished impersonation. He is
well supported by George Mack, Carl
Fey, James Otley, James 8. Hart and
Joseph Damery. Miss C. Blanche Rice
Is charming and piquant and Miss May
Newhall acts well. Manager Davis
has a good attraction In "Hands Across
the Sea." It will be given this and to
morrow evenings with afternoon mat
inees.
SMALL AUDIENCE SAW IT.
Pantomime Is Not Popular with Seraa-

Pantomlne Is not a popular form of
entertainment in Scranton Judging from
the small audience that saw the artis
tic presentation of "Miss Pygmalion"
at the Frothlngham last night by
Mdlle. Jane May and company.
Mdlle may la one of the greatest ex
ponents of the pantomlnic art and pro
duced "Miss Pygmalion" for over 600
nights In Paris and for 200 nights In
London. Americana, however, do not
take - kindly to- pantomlne no anatter
how well done.
The performance given last night by
Mdlle May and company was excellent
but failed to arouse the enthusiasm of
the audience. In several of the scenes
Mdlle May did some excellent bits of
emotional acting. ; . -. .. '
