Ilcgan a Three Days' Performance at
Davis' Theater Yesterday.
The ever-good and ever-welcome
White iljrook company began Its an
nual visit to Davis' theater yesterday.
A large and enthusiastic audience ap
plauded the prolonged happy hit which
the show offers. With the exception of
the Earle-lloward dialogue the per
formance Is unusually clean for its
kind. The polka-dot dance is pretty;
the medley of popular airs by the com
pany is given with a snap. Nellie
Franklin Hits about the stage in a vi
vacious way." and the "three old sports"
exterminate the "blues."
Beside these Flora, a slack wire per
former of the old school, gives a dar
ing performance. Messrs. Truehart
and Kennedy play foot ball with one
another, and Bryant and Smith play
Hie harp and dance. There is a negro
quartette in the show. They were re
culled four times yesterday. The per
formance opens and ' ends with two
mammoth extravaganzas. ' During the
latter part V. H. Trueheart Is responsi
ble for much of the fun.
Miss Lena La Covier made the best
Impression of the individual members
of the company. A sweeter singer with
a better budget of sentimental songs
never traveled In a like organization.
The company Is a very large one. The
performance will be repeated for three
nights, and matinees beginning with
yesterduy's performance.

Klcotrlc Light Works at Olyphant Taught

There was "considerable excitement"
at Olyphant early last evening, but it
subsided quickly. The Klectrlc Light
works caught fire and there was a fear
that the llames would destroy the plant
and leave the town In darkness.
The tire started in the roof, near
where the stack goes through it and
the manner in which it caught does not
clearly appear as there Is a covering
of asbestos on the stark and at any rate
It Is not of temperature high enough
to start a blaze. The damages will not

Bold Aet of a .Man Who Represented
. Himself to Be C. D. Wegman.
It transpired yesterday that the sig
nature of C. D. Wegman which was
attached to the bail piece on which
May Kellman secured her release the
night before was forged. The parties
who have thus so flagrantly toyed with
Justice have not aa yet been appre
hended but Chief Simpson has a rlue
which he says will land the perpetrator
In prison.
The ball was entered before Alder
man Wright about o'clock Wednesday
night. A party of men all unknown to
the alderman came to hla office and
upv making- known their business, the
alderman who was not thoroughly ac
quainted with the merits of the case,
bad no hesitancy in accepting ball, par
ticularly when the man who offered
himself as bondsman and represented
himself as C. D. Wegman. of the well
known firm, of Wegman ft Co.. whole
sale produce merchants.
The ball piece waa sent to the sta
tion house and Mrs. Bellman waa re
leased. She has since kept under cover
and iKJSslbly has decamped. At any
rate the police failed to locate her yes
terday. They have, however, secured a
description of the forger and as it tallies
with that of a low character, who had
been showing a deep Interest in Mrs.
Bellman's case ever since her arrest,
they ale confident of corralling him to
day. The two gli-la who were captured in
Mrs. Bellman's place have made writ
ten statements of the character of the
house and have signified their willing
ness to give testimony against the pro
prietress. They are still in the station
house, but will today be sent to the
county Jail to be held as witnesses.
They foughf so hard against being
sent to the House of the Uood Shepherd
that the mayor decided to semi them to
the county Jail. Before doing this, how
ever, he had them taken to the Florence
Mission, but the authorities there would
not receive them because of their
avowed intention of resisting all re
forming influences.

Laws for This City.
Pursuant to the behests of the sani
tary code adopted at the last session of
the legislature, the board of health Is

tions governing plumbing and drainage.
At a recent meeting of the board, the

In the latter's office in the city hall yes
terday and began their important and
arduous tusk.
At present there Is a set of rules
which plumbers are expected to follow,
but thev are very inadequate and have
not been rigidly enforced. The commis

rules that will cover the whole ground,
and the board of health will see that
they are enforced, it being the board's
Intention to give the building inspector
the same powers aa are held by plumb
ing Inspectors in cities of the second
class. The Master Plumbers' associa
tion has for Home time past been striv
ing to secure the creation of such an
office, but aa no provision is made for
its maintenance it will have to be satis
fled for the present with the arrange
ment of Investing plumbing Inspectors'
powers In the building Inspector.
The next meeting of the commission
will be on Thursday. March lit, when it
is expected a rough draft of the con
templated code will be prepared. How
long it will take them to complete their
task Is not known. Inasmuch as this
code will be the standard for years to
come, the commission intends to spare
neither time nor trouble In Its drafting.

cilman Chittenden has come to the con
fusion that unless the depositories are

ODO FELLOWS' ORPHANAGE
Discussed at Last Night's Session
of Alliance Lodge.
IS BIT l'AKTIALLY APPROVED
Scranton Does Not Like Suafcury as a
Site Grand Lodge Petitioned for
a Charter Will Be De
cided la May.
The question of establishing in Sun
bury an Odd Fellows' orphanage for the
northeastern section of this state was
the subject of an address by John K.
Miller, of Sunbury. at a session of Alli
ance lodge of Odd Fellows last night
In Odd Fellows hall on 1-ackawanna
avenue. The session was attended by
representatlve8 from many of the
twelve lodges in the city and the or
phanage matter was fully discussed.
There are now in this state at Phila
delphia. Meadvllle and Ben Avon. Odd
Fellows' orphanages similar to the one
proposed aud which was considered at
a convention called especially for that
purpose lust October In Sunbury. At
that rime the delegates were practically
unanimous in approving the idea al
though there was some disagreement
on Sunbury as a site. Scranton was
not represented, but Wilkes-Ban e was
and that city's delegates with a certain
following advocated Wilkes-Barre as
a location. A petition for a charter
waa sent to the grand lodge, which
body referred the matter to a commit
tee of which Mr. Miller, who spoke last
night la a member.
The petition Is now In the hands of the
eommlttee and will be acted upon defi
nitely at the annual session of the grand
lodge to be held in May in Pittsburg.
Beside Mr. Miller, the speakers who
discussed the orphanage at length at
last night's meeting were S. U. Kerr.
C. F. Van Nort. Otto Meyers and others.
Representatives were present from Rob
ert Burns, Celestial, Slocum and Silur
ian lodges.
The sentiments expressed left little
doubt that Scranton Is unanimously In
favor of establishing the orphanage
but there were decided opinions that
Sunbury Is not a proper location. It
was argued that Sunbury Is too far
south and has not the proper railroad
facilities or local advantages. It was
Indicated that the idea will be opposed
by Scranton and the contiguous terri
tory unless a more northern site than
Sunbury is proposed.
Mr. Miller will discuss the matter
with Pittston lodges tonight.
IT IS ACCEPTABLE.
Turnpike People Will Agree to Mr.
Kocke's Proposition.
The Joint streets and bridges com
mittee, last night, met to consider the
claim of Muldoon ft Bowie for extra
work on the abutments of Roaring
Brook bridge, but owing to the ab
sence of City Rngineer Phillips no ac
tion was taken.
The contractors claim that the addi
tional work for which they aak com
pensation was ordered by the city en
gineer, after it waa decided to sub
stitute asphalt for planking on the
floor of the bridge, which change neces
sitated a strengthening of the abut
ments. RUSH ON THE BOX OFFICE.
A Large crowd of Sports Swindled at
Patcrson.
Paterson, N. J., March 12. Serious
trouble was threatened at the opera
house here tonight, roung Uriffo. the
boxer, waa billed to appear against

bouts. After several exhibitions had
been given the curtain was lowered
and the referee announced that the
manager had decamped with the re
ceipts and that Uriffo had failed to ap
pear. The crowd made a rush for the box of
fice and could not be dispersed until
the police were called.

HYGIENIC HONEY.
A Joking Suggestion of a Novelist Is
Promptly I'tillied.
A scientist suggests that a hint
thrown out In a 'recent work of fiction
is worth the serious attention of bee
keepers. In the story a prominent fig
ure Is a quack who has made his for
tune of selling Influenza honey. This
he produced by keeping the bees in a
large conservatory, or, at any rute.
under glass, so that they could only
pasture on the (lowers provided fur
them, and of course these were chosen
for their medical properties. Hence
ready-made physic of the most delic
ious kind was garnered. The idea wns
laughed at as an extravagant inven
tion; but It is. after all. not as absurd
as some of the critics imagined. It Is
said that many beekeeoers. Intent on
producing a novel luxury, are now ex
perimenting on these lines.
In this country many distinctive
flavors are recognized In honey, from
the clover and the sage downward, and
any one who has tasted the logwood
blossom-scented honev of the tropics
will never forget it. In the artificial
production of flawy-ed honey the dif
ficulty lies not in providing for the prop
er feeding for the bees, for this can be
done. Of greater need is the educating
of the palate of the average consumer,
to whom honey Is merely honev. a
breakfast-table relish, varying In qual
ity hardly more than salt.
MIS (iRANDM OTHER WAS.
Vere I'nespected Ketnrt of a Four-Year
Old at Church.
From the Louisville Post.
That It Is only a step from the sub
lime to the ridiculous Is well Illustrated
by the following amusing incident that
huppened a few Sabbaths ago In a well
known church, and caused no little mer
riment among the teachers. The super
intendent was telling the wee small
folks of the custom In certain countries
of chaining the prisoners' hands and
feet together. "And." she asked, "don't
you suppose that if some one enme and
released them they would be very happy
and grateful?"
It was unanimously agreed that they
would.
"And." continued the superintendent,
coming to hor point. "Jesus was sent to
the. world to release people from their
sins? Are any of you here bound with the
chains of sin?" "No." piped the four-year-old
offspring of tlie minister. "I'm
not. but my grandmother Is."

Pioneer Scranton School Teacher Brought
to Mind be a Beneficent Law.
Captain Fellows waa engaged yester
day in searching the ancient hlstia-v
of the school district for some record
which would go to show that Josephine

thirt or thirty-live years ago. In an
old account book of the Fourth school
districts entries were found which
showed that Miss McCollister was a
teacher in this city between the years

This information waa forwarded to
Miss McCollister. who is still teaching
school in New York city, and with It

"Alabama" is now In Its fourth season,
