P0WDER.
SWINDLER AT WORK.
Succeeded In Gutting SM3 from Clcland.
Simpson it Tavlor.
A clever swindle which was worked
quite successfully In this city some
years ago, was uuain perpetrated yes
terday on Clelaud. Simpson & Taylor,
of the t'lobe warehouse
A man without hat or coat came Into
the t J lobe store otilce before bunking
hours with a $i!5 check drawn by the
Scianton Supply and Hardware com
pany, which he requested them to cash,
MiyliiR that the Supply company had
immediate need of the money. The
check was cashed and no suspicions
were aroused until the supposed Sup
ply oiiipuiiy clerk was seen einrglnB
with coat nnd hat en from un adjoin
ing liulhvay ami hui rylnit dp the street.'
Inquiry was quickly made at the Sup
ply company's store, which was only
two d uns uwuy and as was suspected
the check was found to be a forgery,.
The swindler by tills time had disap
peared. He is described as a tiia.ll tit about .'0
years, with heavy grey mustache. As
mi particular attention was paid to
lils appearance the Globe stole people
ate at a loss to give a complete descrip
tion of him.
WANTS A TALK METER.
tiabhlo of People Mho I'sa Telephones
Should Ifo Vestured.
"A crying; need In the telephone busi
ness," said J. It. .Malluy. ot the Central
Pennsylvania. Telephone company, af
ter an examination of the Washington
telephone exchange, "Is a talk-meter
that Is, some sort of an uiitoniatlc ar
rangement by which language can be
measured off by the yard. Philadel
phia Is approaching' the idea. The Itell
Telephone company there (;ives what Is
called measured service rates, the"
'measurement' being determined by the
number of tails or connections, each
live minutes' conversation or fraction
thereof being counted by a call. This
gives subscribers rates In proportion to
the use of their Instruments. The city
service recently Introduced there is
very much upon the principle of the
long-distance service between cities."
"Do you consider this un advantage
over the old cystoma?"
"Well, it Is not perfect. What is re
quired is a regular 'gas' meter, with a
stop cock for profanity, old jokes, and
endearing nunies for the telephone
glils. I think an arrangement of this
sort w B'd be more valuable than an
automatic device for making: the con
nections. Many a wordy tale would be
cut short, many a delicious but un
prolitabli' confab nipped in the bud. If
Ida at one end of the line knew that
she was keeping the tantalizing secret
from Charlie at the other end, at a rate
of P) cents for every five minutes she
would disclose It more quickly and give
the woman who wants to telephone to
the doctor about the bean up the baby s
nose a ( hance nt the line. The new
young man who thinks the telephone
girl's heart is tilled with wild emotions
when he says, "My dear, you're looking
well." would proceed to business more
quickly if he understood his "slush"
was being measured off by the yard.
Some method will have to be adopted
to stop the effusive language over the
wires. Seven hundred and fifty million
telephone messages were sent over the
wires last year, averaging about ten
messages to every man, woman and
child In the United States. Telegrams
never exceeded one per head per year,
which shows that ne telephone system
may eventually entirely supersede the
telegraph. In 1S85 there was only one
long distance line, extending- between
Philadelphia and New York. Today
the system has 265.000 miles of wire and
$7",ri()li.ono Is the estimated Investment
in telephone property. A comfortable
share of the telephone investment
would go to the man who would Invent
a talk-meter
AX OPINION OF WOOLLY.
Who Will Lecture at tho Academy of
Al lisle leb. U8. '
Of John O. AVooley, who lectures at
the Academy of Music on February 2S.
Ir. Bashford, president of Weslcyun
university, says:
"He combines many of the best ele
ments of Wendell Phillips and John H.
Cough. Ills simplicity of Btyle and his
admirable command of English reminds
me of Phillips, while his speech nt
times scintillated with the wit or glows
with the pathos of Hough, at the same
time Wooley's speeches lire marked by
a breadth of statesmanship and at
depth of Christian philosophy which
neither of those great orators equalled."

'lis true, had some hot words at the pubs
as we alwuys do. he being an enthusiastic
Democrat and I an enthusiastic Republi
can, but to the credit of the voters of the
First district, never have the police been
required or asked to settle the little or
big disputes that occur ut election, nor
was yesterday an exception to the rule.
Mr. A. Kaub. the undertaker, did tele
phone to police headquarters for an otll
cer without the knowledge or consent of
the election board to clear his store room
of voters, who thoughtlessly and without
any desire to trespass, entered the ssme
for the purpose of voting Instead of enter
ing t he rear room (where 'the election
was held) from the alley entrance. There
was no riot In the First district yestur
day, nor was there u call for police pro
tection by anv member of the board or
anv one identified with the voters of the
district. W. 8. Millar.

STAGE VEBSION OF TRILBY
Given Last Myht at Academy by One
of Brady's Company.
IT DIPPERS PK0M THE ST0KY
Chances Enhunco tho Dramatis Interest
of the Drniun-Lduin Brandt in
the Itole of Svcrfssll-.Marlon
Grey Is Trilby.
Paul Potter's dramatization ot the
much talked of story, "Trilby," was
seen at the Academy of Music last
evening. The drama departs Kome
whut from the lines of Du Aluurler's
story of the pet of the I.atln quarter of
Paris, but by doing si better dramatic
etlects are secured. From the series of
sketches of Du Aluurler, Mr. Potter has
evolved a play full of Interest and ac
tion; one that by Its own right would
have commanded a place on the stage
even II' Trilby of story fume hud never
been heard of.
The company that presented the
drama last night Is under the manage
ment of W. A. Brady, nnd It gave a very
creditable production of Mr. Potter's
stage story. Kdwin Hraiidt. a young
actor who has many warm udmirers
in this city, was seen in the role of
Svengall. It Is a most dlltlcult one for
any actor to essay, but .Mr. Brandt
succeeded so well in reproducing; the
appearance, manlier und movement of
the strange, weird musician that he wus
rewarded with the enthusiastic up
plause of the audience. Ills work was
marked by reserve force and was de
void of the runtliiir with which a less
discriminating actor would have
ruined the creation.
Marlon Grey is not an tdenl Trilby in

COMING ATTRACTION'S.
Cosgrove and Giant's comedians will
make merry in their Jolly farce comedy,
"The Daxzler" at the Academy Saturday
matlneo and night. During the past sum
mer the piece has been re-wiitten, new
music and specialties introduced, and the
piece broujiht strictly up to date. Com
edians who are conile, atltis who are pret
ty, singers who can sing, and dancers
w ho run dance abound in this seusuu s
version of "The Dasiler." The realms of
song and opera have been Invaded by the
managers, and their prizes shine forth
with a new and mlded lustre as part of the
merriment of the farce. The piece Is no
stranger to our theater-goers, but many
surprises await them in tills season's pro

On Saturday evening we will have with
us the unquestioned leader of American
comedians, the representative of clean
and wholesome comedy, Sol Smith Rus
sell. Air. Russail will appear us Bob
Acres in H. Brlnsley Sheridan's family
comedy, "The Rivals." The critics with
out exception speak handsomely of Sol
Smith Russell's production of It. There
is a singular unanimity of opinion In this
instance among these analytical gentle
men and in that opinion, expressed with
evident cordiality, It is said thnt as Bob
Acres Air. Russell does make a most pro
nounced success. Looking over the list
of comedians now on the American stage,
but few names are worth lingering over.
It Is true that there are many who are
loud In the public voice, but few whose
work entitles them to a permanent pla"e
In the annals of the American stage. Of
the few Air. Russell occupies the foremost
position.
