HUNTING GAMBLLKS.
Philadelphia Poliee Are on the Lookout
for Knights of the Urcen Cloth.. . '
Philadelphia, March 18. Superintend
ent of Police Linden startled the police
lieutenants of this city today by sum
moning them before him and announc
ing that gamblers were operating in
Philadelphia unmolested.
"I have Information," said the super
intendent, "that a lot of New York
gamblers, who have been driven from
that city by the avidity of the police
have located here. The Information
comes from a proper source, and with
It comes the positive statement that
the police here have been 'fixed.' and
that the gamblers have nothing to fear.
"About that I know nothing, but I
have this to say. You are all warned.
You know Just what these people In
tend to do. and I want It prevented.
The expression has been made thnt you
are 'fixed.' so I will hold you and your
special oncers responsible. You-are to
keep-a-sharp lookout' for any pool
rooms or other gambling places and re
port them to me.' I mean to say that no
gambling Is done nnd that my orders
are carried out In HiIb as well as all
other respects."
The order caused a surprise to the
lieutenants, and' today their districts
were thoroughly gone over in search of
gambling places. , .

THE TWO ESCUTCHEONS.
Produced b Uootl Company at the
Krolhinghara Last Might.
Sydney- Rosenfeld's adoption of the
German comedy "Zwel Woppeh," was
produced at the Frothlngham last eve
ning before an audience that was much
smaller than the merits of the comedy
deserved..
The comedy, or farce, to be more exact,-
Mr. Ibsenfeld has named "The
Two Escutcheons." ltls bright, light,
swift moving. full-of action and pos
sesses not a little real humor, although
some of the cheap variety Is thrown In
probably that the real article may be
the more conspicuous by contrast.
The first act passes at a Spa In Ger
many, with an activity that is more
characteristic of Americans than Euro
peans, for the meeting, engagement
and marriage of the lovtra transpires
in the opening quarter of the drama.
Mary Foster is the daughter of a mil
lionaire pork packer of Chicago. Ru
dolph von Wettlngen, of Berlin, Is the
son of P-aron von Wettlngen. who looks
back wl'.h pride to the nobility of his
ancestors. The mating of Rudolph and
Mary Is happy enough until Mary's
father comes upon the scene and dis
closes the nature of his business to the
baron, who has .a supreme disgust for
the escutcheon of the porkopolltun gen
tleman with considerable lack of court
etiquette. Their meetings renilt In
family entuglcments, sudden broken en
gagement, as suddenly patched up, and
eventually white-winged peace hovers
over the scene and the troubles of the
daughter of the Chicago pork merchant
and the son of the buron "ure whistled
down the wind."
Robert F. Cotton, who was a member
of "The New Boy" company, seen In
this city last season, was excellent as
the Baron von Wettlngen, who has a
great pride In the his long line of an
cestors, reaching back to the Crusudes.
It Is not easy to. imagine how Mr. Cot
ton's Impersonation of the proud, ex
citable, yet not bad-hearted baron
could have been much Improved upon.
George Jfiu kus as Captain Von Ylnck,
Charb'S Bowser as Thomas Foster, of
Chicago, and Vincent Serrano -as the
son of the nroud baron, howd.theni
selves uctoriror real merit. yriiV gave
excellent interpretations uf the exact

'Joseph Keogh, of this city, yesterday
received his famous brindle bull dog
"Dab," which wus lost on June 1:1 lust.
H wus found In the possession of John
Smith, of Archbald, who claimed that
he found the dog roaming In the woods.
A suit before a Justice of the peace was
necessary before the dog. could be re
covered. The sagacious animal was the prin
cipal witness. The fact that It recug
nlxcd Its old master and showed unmis
takable evidences of Joy at again seeing
him convinced the magistrate that the
log belonged to Mr. Keogh. ., As the
'squire put It "no dog wouklthuve such
nut ure for a Ktninger."
Mr. Keogh claims that the dog Is
worth 2M but he would not part with
him for that amount.' ,

it that he was wanted, he agreed to grant
his wish that he might be imprisoned.

In conversation with the chief, Whlt
beck told that he had heard from some
friends that his wife had had a war
rant issued charging him with desertion
or Infidelity or something of that kind.
