FLIRTING IS EXPENSIVE. Especially Whes) Carried on by Whole sale flaring Working Honrs. Five youngsters ranging In age from 15 to 18 years, were before Alderman Millar last night on an unique charge. The management of the Sauquoit fillk mill complained that the atten tion of their l.uOO girls is detracted from their work by youths who congre gate In the neighborhood of the mill and carry on a flirtation with the fair weavers at the windows, and as the thing was assuming1 such proportions as to become obnoxious from a finan cial standpoint they demanded that something be done by the authorities to relieve them. The alderman thought the matter over and Anally came to the conclusion that the annoying flirt era were amenable to the law and ac cordingly Issued a warrant In which Sure."

COMIXti ATTRACTIONS. The return to the local stage of the late Uurtley Campbell's beautiful Southern Idyl. "The White Slave," will doubtless nerve to crowd the Academy of Music tomorrow evening when It w ill be st:iKel upon a much more elab orate scale, than ever before under the personal direction of Hubert and John It. Campbell, sons of the author. Bart ley Campbell possessed a glowing fancy and was endowed with rare Inventive faculties as evinced In his "White Kluve." So wide is the field of the drama that It seems to have covered almost the entire dominion of human thought, feeling and action, and those whose business it In to eagerly search for flaws in everything and to whom perfect workmanship seems to give pain In Its defiance of derogation and detractory analysis may often find re Keinblunces that must in the nature of things be purely accidental. II II II If ever a comedian hud an opportu nity to display his power of mimicry, Frank Bush has it In "Girl Wanted," the new farce-comedy, produced by .Managers Davis and Keogh, which will be on view hi this city Tuesday next nt the Academy of Music. In it Mr. Hush Impersonates u man who usstimes no less than nix different disguises, so:ne of them feminine". Mr. Bush's powers of mimicry and of comic Imper sonation ure well known to the theatre-goers. Any piece that gives him koixI opportunities is sure to be un commonly entertaining. His role Is not the only amusing one In "Girl Wanted." All the characters irre well individualized and decidedly funny. Tin- scenes of the piece ure luld in und on a New York Hut building. The specialties ure of a superior character. Any out' In search of un evening of genuine heart fun. will be rewarded by u visit to "Chi Wanted." II II II Corse Payton, a clever comedian, singer and dancer, und his own com pany of players, including Miss Ktta Heed ure at the Frothingham all next week In a repertoire of comedies and dramas at the popular prices of 10, 20 and ::o cents with matinees Wednesday ami Saturday, when the prices ill be 10 and 20 cents.

Assessors' War Was Injuring Ills Chances So It Was Called Off. After a month of child's play and tomfoolery, the- board of city asses sors yesterday ceased their defiance to the law and handed over the assess ment books to the board of revision and appeals.

Induced them to put an end to the war. The forge at the city hall talked of little else yesterday, but the copitula tion of the assessors.

SIMRELL'S PLAIN STATEMENT It Shows That There Was No Truth la tbo Affidavit Sworn to by Schlentx-Slrarcll Corrobor ated by Fred Jones. The hearing upon the charge of per jury brought by Charles Simrell against Henry Schlentz, each of the First dis trict of the Twentieth wnrd, was be gun late yesterday afternoon before Al derman Millur. Simrell and Fred Jones, the vlgllunts who conducted the recent primary In the district, were on Wed nesday mornlngarrested uponSchlenta's aflldavlt that they had knowingly and fraudulently violated the Republican rules for conducting primary elections. On Wednesday night Schlentz wus ar rested on the perjury charge. Only three witnesses had been examined up to 6 o'clock last night when Attorney Watson, counsel for the defendant, agreed to the request of Major Kverett Warren, the plaintiff's attorney, that the henrlnir be continued to Monday morning at 9 o'clock. Major Warren explained that other Important legal business In court would engage all his time and attention until Saturday night. When the case was opened Alderman Millar's court room was completely filled. Spectators, seated and standing, occupied nil the space outside the rail ing and a large crowd was grouped about the doorway leading to the hull. Defendant Schlentz occupied a seat alongside his counsel, and but a few seats removed was Handy Man With ers, the secretary of the recent Fuller hall rump convention. He hud been Sehlentz's advisor and best man In the litigation which led up to the present case, but took no part In yesterday's proceedings. Affidavit Offered In evidence. Major Warren, for the prosecution, of fered in evidence Schlentz's affidavit charging Simrell nnd Jones with fraud, upon which the charge of perjury against Schlentz was brought. Simrell was culled to the stand and testified. In substance, as follows: The primary was held In the parlor of Cor corun's hotel, the voters handing their ballots through a window which was raised several inches und opened upon the hotel porch. Seventy-nine votes were cast, fifty for Julian Cooper, the Ripple candidate, and twenty-nine for Schlentz. the Moir man. me ballot cast by a man named Ruane wan luld aside and on the tuble, which was close up against the wall beneath the window, because Ruane was thought to be a Democrat. As each ballot was deposit ed In the box by Simrell, Jones, the other vigilant, recorded the name of the voter und the number on the ballot. The votes and the record were twice exam ined after the polls dosed and were found to correspond. ' Simrell admitted bavin? gone to the water closet nnd taking t lie box with him. Jones standing In the doorway opening into the hall from where he could see if any voters came to the window. Simrell returned In from three to live minutes. The box was a cigar box. It had a small slot just large enotight to admit a ballot nnd the cover was securely tacked at 4 o'clock und was not opened until the polls closed. Invited to Watch the Count. Schlentz nnd Cooper, the opposing candidates, were Invited Into the room when the count was made and stood nlongslde the table and examined the ballots. They shook linnds after the count nr.d Schlentz said lie was satis fied with the manner In which the pri mary hud been conducted. Major Warren handed the witness the Republican primary rule for 1S!1 which he later offered In evidence ns still gov erning primary elections. Simrell said the book did not contain, so far as he knew, anything bearing upon the quali fications of a voter. All who voted thut day were Republicans. On cross-examination Attorney Wat son brought; out the fact, which had nppeared In the direct examination, that the witness had been to the water closet while the polling was In progress and had taken the ballot box with him. lie denied that In putting ballots into the box he took other ballots out and threw them on the Hour. Fred Jones, who with Simrell was ar rested upon the information sworn to by Schlentz, was called. KvhlL'iice of Mr. (ones Ills evidence was practically a corrob oration of that of Simrell. He stated that lie stood In the doorway talking to Mis. Corcoran, the proprietor's wife, while Simrell was In the water closet and that no voter came to the window to vote. Hihlciit: wns ubout the place from 4 o'clock until after the count. On cross-examination Jones said that he saw eneh ballot deposited in the- box before he recorded the name and num ber of the voter and that the list and Votes tallied In the count, which showed that every ballot was nccottnted for. The list of voters wns offered in evi dence. lion. Alex T. Connell, representative of the Second Legislative district, testi fied to the good repute of Simrell, the plaintiff. Attorney Wntson objected to the evidence as Immaterial, but was overruled. Mr. Connell further testified that he had examined the box just before the voting bcrran and found the cover se curely tucked. He was In the room with Candidates Cooper and Schlentz and the two vlgilants when the count was begun, but left at Mr. Jones' re- AN EASYWAY TO GET A OUR plan of rental, with rent to apply us purchase money, is very popular, anil makes it possible for almost any family ttt net a lirst -class instrument.
