Will tie a Special Matinee
on I'rlduv Afternoon.
Lari?e audiences attended the Fete
Chufcipetre yesterday afternoon und
eveiiliiif, taxing the capacity of the
house at both performances. The
matinee was most Interesting and en
tertaining. All of tho dances were by
the little folks vhi entered Into the
spirit of them tit a. truly Hurpriaing
way. They did not of course dance
with the name pret-lsion a their older
brothers and sisters but no one ex
pected thut and no one was disap
pointed. On the contrary, everyone
was delighted and pleased with the
dunclntr of the little tots who seemed
to enjoy the whole uffatr quite as much
ua did those who were ii!;ctatom In
the auditorium.
The matinee opened with a tableau
anil procession in which all of the little
dancers passed nnd repassed In re
view behind the r.ut JU;llU, It was led
by little tlertrudc t'uiirsen, whose na
tural and simple manner and efficiency
pleased everybody. Then came the
Japanese dunce with the little ones

of the chrysanthemums. The chap
erons of this dance are Mrs. S. H.
Stevens, Mrs. J. I.. Conned and Mrs.

this dunce wus the pinging of "Three
Little Maids from School," by Allele

were In this dunce, of which Mrs. F
M. Spencer and Mrs. Oeorge M. Hall
steod ure chaperons. Margaret Kirk
Patrick was queen bee and Beatrice
Morris queen rose,
Florence" Kline danced "La Rose" In
an exceedluly graceful manner and
then eleven little maidens made their
appearance who exemplified the poetry
of motion by a "Skirt Dnnce." The
nature of the dance Is best told by the
following description on the official
programme: "All these pretty and
graceful maidens are gathered together
for a royal good time nnd dance. Fall
ing Into the spirit of the occasion, they
keep perfect time with Ihelr graceful
tlowing skirts as they skip back and
forth. Are they enjoying It? Well,
their beaming faces and sparkling
eves should sneak- for themselves."
Mrs. Wlllard Matthews chaperons the
dunce.
The drill of the Napoleon guards
evoked great enthusiasm. It wus
glveu by a number of little boys In a
truly excellent manner under the di
rection of Lieutenant Samuel Derman.
of the Thirteenth regiment, who drilled
them. The costumes worn by the boys
were exact reproductions of the uni
forms shown In the picture "A Soldier
of the Ouard," time J "97, place France.
The chaperons are Mrs. T. P. Pen
man, Mrs. Luther Keller and Misa Liz

diminutive captain of the guards and
he Issued his commands In a ringing
voice with the confidence and bearing
of a veteran.
. Fancy Dance by Gertrude Conrsen.
Gertrude Coursen next occupied the
stage and gnve a Very pretty fancy
dance. "Kl Jules di Sieres." which was
received with great evidence of appro
bation. She tripped about vry prettily
and gracefully, and there was a regret
when the solo was ended.
The carnival dance chaneroned by
Mrs. C. It. Parko and Mrs. It. M.
Heranton, was featured by the " gay
costumes of the (lancers, the children
representing kings, queens, cavaliers,
clowns, etc. They romied and they
danced and altogether iuwas one of the
merriest number of the afternoon. A
song by Gilbert Kdgar and solo danc
ing by Clara Brewster were given In
connection With this dance.
There was the appropriate aquatic
flavor about the Hornpipe" danced
by twenty-four bright faced little' hoys
and girls appropriately costumed. Mrs.
W. W. Scranton. Mrs. C. 8. Weston,
and Miss Anna Matthews chaperoned
this dance. Kuth Machette received
the warmest applause of the afternoon
for the manner in which she executed
a tambourine dance. She was one of
the smallest dancers on the stage but
danced with a grace and ease that was
astonishing. The afternoon's pro
gramme closed with the grand march
and tableaux In which all of the danc
ers participated.

RESCUE MISSION WORK.'
Report of the 18U5 Committee Shows
How Close the Mission Came to Being
Discontinued-Hopes for the Future.
The report of the- 189ii committer read
at Tuesday night's fourth anniversary
meeting of Rescue Mission converts is
presented below. The report Is encour
aging; for that element which likes to
see charitable work succeed, and Is es
pecially gratifying; to the liberal men
and women whose generous giving has
made possible the continuunce of the
mission for another year, although the
work was on the verge of dissolution
because of luck of funds. Following is
the report;
To Friends and Patrons of the Mission:
That the S rantou nitsion has been
wonderfully blessed during the past year
Is evidenced by the hearty response of the
t-itlsens of till cUy to the appeals of the
committee.
Burdened as we were with a large debt
at the beginning of the year, and with
scarcely a ray of hope on which to build
our faith, we close the fourth year In
the history of the mission with a fund
pledged and sufficiently large to carry bu
the work for the present year.
While the pledge made to the commit
tee, by til pastors of the ceutral churches
at a confarence held Dec. ID, 18M. assuring
lhm Umt the church would not alluw
the work to fail for lack of Unsocial sup
port was, we believe, made in good faith,
yet It would have been necessary to close
the mission on Dec. 31, lsifc. had not the
committee taken the mutter UKain In
hand and by hard and laborious work
and with the blessing of God secured
pledges sutllclent -to carry on ihe wo:k
for lhS. and further pledges applicable
to the debt, that encourage the committee
In the beller that by the close of .thlB
year the debt will be entirely wiped out.
The snlrltual affairs of the mission have
been efficiently and faithfully conducted
bv the worthy superintendent und his
wife. Mr. and Mrs. Sanborn. The result
of their work has been very gratifying to
the committee, and those who huve re
celved n hearty welcome at all times and
have felt the warm handclasp of Mr. and
Mrs. Sanborn as they entered the room,
can but feel hat the Heranton mission Is
but a place of peace and rst. And at the
same time whn It seemed almost 'nece
sary to close tre m'"sl"n for the want of
financial support. Mr. Hanhorn never lost
faith, but et s'l tiroes Insisted that oe
way would he found to csrrv on the work.

1NY KITS AND BRUISES
Cover the Body of Fischer, the Young
Polish Murderer.
HE FOUGHT POK HIS BROTHER
To Ssve Mike front Injury, Fischer Struck
the Blow Which Probably Csnssd
the Murder Prisoner In
terviewed In Jail.
Charles Fischer, the young Polander
who was arrested by County Detective
Leyshon Tuesday night and locked in
the county Jail, Is not the only person
responsible for the death of Michael
Kutkoswskl. who died on Tuesday
from the eflects of a beating he received
in a drunken row at the "Ridge" near
Archbald on Monday. At least such
was the conclusion of the jury at the
Inuuest conducted by Coroner Long'
street at the "Ridge" yesterday. The
Jury returned a verdict naming Fischer
as the principal to the crime and Joe
Fluenski and Alike Krotosky as acces
sories. Fischer's native name is Char
lie Kosoloski.
Coroner Longstreet nnd Dr. Penny
packer performed a post-mortem ex
amination and found thut Kutkosw
skl skull was cracked and crushed
in a hulf-dozen different pluces. The
evidence lieu rd Indicated that i
dozen or fifteen men were en
guged in the drunken melee;
that Fluenski und Krotoekl were the
leuders and abetters of the light, and
thut Fischer used a chair in striking
the blow which did the killing. Fur
ther liiformatli.il was difficult to secure
from the evidence, as the witnesses
spoke Kngllsh only brokenly or not at
all.
Fischer Tells His Storv.
In the Jull yesterday afternoon a
Tribune reporter conversed with r iscn
er, whose body and heud bear evidences
of not having come out of the fracas
unhurt. He is a splendid specimen of
the physical animal, seems intelligent.
Is good looking when compared with
others of his nationality, speuks fuirly
good Kngllsh and is Li years old. it
was & o'clock in the afternoon when the
Interview took place, und at that time
the young fellow did not know that the
blow he had struck ended In murder.
Fischer admitted his part in the af
fair, even to striking the blow, which
he says was to save his brother's life.
His story, relieved of his broken lan
guage, is as follows: Just before the
fight Kutkoswskl who was a stranger
to the prisoner, entered the room. When
the fight started Fischer was on the
stairs. He looked on and took no part
in It until he saw his brother, Mike,
seized by several men who proceeded
to beat him until the blood ran down
his face In streams. It was then thut
FUcher ran down the stairs and with
his fists fought his way through the
crowd to the party surrounding and
hammering his brother. Fischer mixed
In with them and all fought desper
ately. Fischer fell and was kicked about
the face and body and lilt upon the
head and Jaw with a stone. He re
gained his feet, seized a chair and
brought it down with force upon the
head of the man nearest him. The man
fell and In a moment more the fighting
ceased. Fischer did not then know who
he had struck nor how badly the fellow
was injured.
That was all of his story, told without
reserve and in a manner that indicated
truthfulness.
, His Body a Mass of Bruises.
At, the request of the reporter Fisch
er stripped to the waist. His body
contained maybe twenty bruises and
cuts. The most serious of these marks
of violence were a cut over the left side
of the forehead, a scalp wound on the
top of the head, a cut on the back of
the left shoulder and a bruise on the
left forearm which reached from the
wrist to above the elbow and made
the flesh black and swollen. His cell
mate said that Fischer had not been
able to sleep during the night on ac
count of the pain from his wounds
and had not been able to swal
low other than liquid food because of
pains in his Jaws.
' The young Polander seemed to fully
realize the seriousness of his position.
He said that others were more guilty
than he and he was anxious to know
if they had been arrested. No friend
or relative has been to the Jail to see
him, nor has he secured counsel, al
though a strange Polander called at
the jail yesterday, talked with Fischer
and said he would get him a lawyer.
While the reporter was in Fischer's
cell, Dr. D. H. Jenkins, the jail physi
cian called and dressed the prisoner's
wounds. They are painful but not se
rious, the only treatment they required
being dressings of carbonated vasel

PKOF. MU.NYOVS REMEDY.
What a Representative of the Company
Has to Say About .
The free distribution of Munyon's
celebrated Rheumatism Cure in this
city for the past two days and the
frankness with which the newspapers
were requested to Investigate its mer
its, has caused more than ordinary in
terest In the cures prepared under the
personal supervision of Prof. Alunyon.
who is today the foremost exponent of
Homeopathy. Yesterday a reporter
for The Tribune Interviewed the rep
resentative of the Alunyon company.
"Yes," said he, "It Is astonishing
what a demand there is for the Alunyon
Remedies. Kvery druggist in the city
has replenished his stock from one to
half a dozen times during the past
four days, and yet some of them are
unable to meet the call for the remed
ies." "To what do you attribute this?" In.
rterrupted the reporter.
"Primarily to the virtue of the medi
cines. We can honestly refer to over
700.000 persons who have been cured
and whose unsolicited testimonials are
on file In our Philadelphia ofltce. Again,
the public manner In which Prof. Alun
yon invites a test nf his remedies natu
rally creates confidence. No medicine
could be subjected to the investigation
which his have, and received such an
unanimous approval for their efficacy
both from press and public. Leading
papers throughout the United States
have endorsed them and in many in
stances have, at the request of the
Munyon company made a comparison
with the health statistics prior and sub
sequent to our distributions, with the
result that It has shown the death rate
to have been materially reduced after
the Introduction of the Munyon Reme
dies. This may seem an exaggerated
statement,, but the flies of the dally
papers of Philadelphia, Pittsburg, New
York, Boston, Chicago. Cincinnati, New
Orleans and San Francisco will fully
corroborate It.
' "Of course much of the success of
the company Is due to the Influence of
the dally papers, which generously
placed their space and the time of valu
able men at our service In making a
most rigid investigation of the merits
of the Alunyon itemedies. I want to
pay a tribute to the honesty, loyalty
and faithfulness of the press In assist
ing the public to learn the truth. Par
ticularly is this true of the papers in
this city, and words seem almost inade
quate to express the praise they de
serve, particularly The Tribune.
"With remedies which are being used
In every progressive household In
America, and the assistance of the
papers, heretofore so cheerfully given,
land doubtless will continue to be)
there is no reason why human suffering
should not be materially relieved and
life made more pleasant for us all.
"Now, I'm sorry I've spoken at such
length, but I'm naturally enthusiastic
about the good Prof. Munyon has done
with his Remedies.' No. I must decline
to Bay anything more."
OLD MAN'S VIOLENT DEATH.
John Bron, of the West Side, Fell Down
a Flight of steps and Broke His Skull.
Bossted of Health and Strength Only
a Few Hoars Before.
Aged John Brown, who has lived to
see 77 years of life, fell down a flight
of steps at the French roof hotel on
Washburn, street yesterday afternoon
and was killed. Ills skull was frac
tured. He was well known on the
Wrest Side.
The steps are ten In number and
lead to the basement of the hotel from
an entrance on the westerly side of
the house. At about 3.46 o'clock Brown
attempted to descend Into the cellar
but the snow had not been removed
and the aged unfortunate slipped and
fell head foremost a distance of about
ten feet. Ills head struck a flagstone
which forms a walk from the bottom
of the flight to the cellar, and the skull
was cracked to the length of about an
Inch. He lived for a short time, but
when Dr. H. C. Comegys examined the
wound a half hour afterward he staled
that Brown could not survive. Death
resulted after nearly an hour's un
consciousness. Several children who were returning
from school at the time saw the mis
hap. They Informed the attaches of
the hotel and Brown was carried to the
sidewalk. He wus stunned, but life
had not departed and medical assistance
was called. Blown was afterward
carried to his home at 1-4 South Gar
field avenue, which Is but a short dis
tance from the hotel, and he died while
still unconscious.
He was entitled to a pension because
of the death of his son John, who was
killed during the civil war. He re
ceived part of the money yesterday
mornlngand had bought with it several
glasses of beer.
Bartender Kvans, of the French
Roof, and Mrs. Zeldler. of the Wash
burn hotel, a few doors away, at each
of which places the aged man pur
chased beer, say that Brown was not
intoxicated at the time of the accident.
Despite his age. Brown often boasted
of his perfect faculties and strength.
But a few hours before the fatality he
was chatting with the people at his
home and said:
"I'll live a decade longer, if I don't
die suddenly, and I wouldn't like that.
When I die I want my family to be
around my bed." His words were re-
caled last evening while a reporter for

relatives.

age of 27 and for the greater part of
that time has lived on the West Side.

ground. He was a Protestan by
faith and was a church member. Mrs.
Alice Kelley and James Brown, of the
West Side, and Thomas Brown, of
Mercer county, Pa, are the children
who survive.

by the very clever people who inter

leading members of the company.
