SOCIETY'S COUNTRY CLUB
One is Proposed and a Decision Kill
be Reached at Once.
latest pashionaijlc idea
Site Bcyoad the Terralnas of North Wash-
logtoa Aveane la Coasldered-OlR.
Hoomy, Strnetare May be
Ereetsd Immediately.
A movement Is afoot among the
wealthy and best known social ele
ment In thin city to establish at once a
country club.
The Idea Is so favored that negotia
tions are now In progress with the
Pennsylvania Coal company for un
option un a large plot of the company's
property Included in its unimproved
luna several hundred yards beyond
the present terminus of North Wash
ington avenue.
It Is not Improbable that during the
summer a plain but substantial club
house will be erected, tennis courts laid
and other things done to make a com
fortable and accessible outdoor head
quarters for the pleasure-loving mem
bers of the hill s exclusive set.
The land mentioned was inspected
Thursday afternoon by J. Ben Dlm
mick. Major J. W. Oak ford. H. P. Blmp
son, A. (2. Hunt, C. S. Weston. A. H.
Storm, P. B. Belin and James Blair, jr.,
a party who represented the most
prominent of the city young married
and unmarried society folk. The site
most favorably considered was on the
eastern and upper side of a line over
which Washington avenue will eventu
ally extend. It commands an unob
structed view or the Lackawanna val
ley north and south and is high, airy
and dry.
NEGOTIATING FOR LAND.
Overtures are now being made with
the Pennsylvania Coal company by a
committee informally selected from
among the gentlemen mentioned In the
foregoing paragraph, for leasing or
selling a plot of several acres. When
figures are secured invitations will be
Issued for a general meeting and if
there Is a sentiment favoring the pro
ject and its cost an organization will
be perfected and the scheme carried
out.
The Idea Is not a new one. It has
been talked of for three years and as
recently as last year the Elmhurst
boulevard territory was scoured for
good site for a. country club. Sites
were numerous, but all were thought
to be too Inaccessible and the project
was dropped for tne season.
in considering the North washing-
ton avenue territory the aim was to
secure a place which could be easily
reached by bicyclists, which could be
visited by older persons for an hour or
so in tne neat of the afternoon or in
the evening, but which would combine
accessibility with the beauty of natural
surroundings. The section chosen
seems to be the only locality contig
uous to the city that fills all these de
mands. If the site and scheme meet
society's approval, the officers who will
be selected In the organisation that is
to follow will immediately plan for pos
sessing a fully equipped club property
before the autumn months.
. It Is proposed to build a long, low,
two-story structure of plain but sub
stantlal finish so that it may be heated
and made appropriate for winter danc
ing, socials and holiday and toboggan
parties, etc. The lower floor is to con
tain one big banquet hall with at least
two open fireplaces, a men's smoking
and gnu room ana lounging parlors.
Where the billiard room and bowling
alleys win be situated has not yet been
determined, but it is the Intention to
have all these prerequisites and all else
necessary to a fashionable country
CIUD.
If the club Idea Is approved the
Scranton Lawn club will be no more.
but its members, who are Included in
the country club's proposed charter list.
will become the .country club's tennis
element and will abandon their idea
of reconstructing their Piatt home
stead courts. The autumn tourney In
this case would be held on the new
property.
BICTCYLE CLUB ORGANIZED,
The bicycle fad, although in this case
it seems to be entitled to some more
substantial name than ''fad, has
among the hill's society folk assumed
extensive proportions and this fact is
one which militated much in Inducing
the gentlemen mentioned to take the
steps they have in establishing an open
air club. A very large number of
young ladles and young men, and not a
few of the younger married set, have
taken to the wheel. The number be
came so great that a bicycle club was
proposed and the Idea was carried out
Thursday evening; at the home of
James Arehbald on Jefferson avenue.
About slxtv nersons werenreaent
H. Storrs was elected president, Miss
Belin treasurer, Major Oakford secre
tary, James fllalr, jr., captain and Miss
Arehbald lieutenant. The club pro
poses to take regularly scheduled, as
Impromptu, runs during the season.
This bicycle set and tennis people will
be the controlling element of the pro
posed country club. While the latter
seem to be in the minority nearly all
of them have taken to the wheel, which
Indicates that the new club Idea, the
bicycle craze and the tennis party will
all combine toward the country club
scheme. It certainly seems bound to
be brought to an affirmative Issue.
AFTER THE CLERGYMEN.
Board of Hoolth Intends to Compel Them
to Moke Ketorns.
The board of health Is again after the
clergymen and magistrates who neglect
to make returns of marriages.
It Is very important to the board of
health for many reasons that a fairly
accurate account be kept of the mar
riages which take place in the city.
Those who have the power of perform
ing these marriages evidently regard
It of no consequence, for with but few
exceptions the clergymen and aldermen
totally disregard the law or obey It
when the humor suits them.
Frequent appeals to the derelicts
failed to accomplish the desired result
and finally last September the board of
health got all out of patience and de
cided to prosecute everyone failing to
obey the law. Notices to appear before
the board and show cause why prosecu
tlons should not be commenced brought
explanations, excuses, promises to be
better and also' a better regard for the
law. .The returns In the month of Oc
tober Increase 200 ppr cent. Novem
ber showed . Ming off. December's
returns were' ' smaller. During
January and Feb the returns of
marriages became si , ?re that, but
for outside knowledge . the contrary,
the board of health's Statistician would
be led to believe that the people of
Scranton had gone out of the marrying
business entirely. .
At the March meeting, when the sec!
retary's report showed that the returns
were being more flaorantlv neeiMtsit
than ever, It was deolded to prosecute,'
I as the law directs, every cterryman and
alderman who has failed to obey tho
law. Secretary Briggs was instructed
to "procure the evidence. To this task
ha applied himself yesterday. A clerk
has been engaged to make copies or tne
returns of marriage made to the clerk
of the courts and compare them with
those received at the board or neaitn
office. Those who failed to observe
the board of health's regulations will
thus be discovered, and the reason of
this failure will have to be explained to
an alderman.
The prosecutions will be begun after
the next meeting of the board, which
takes place on the second Friday or
May.
THREE PERSONS INJURED.
Two by Bicycles and Oao b the Bursting
of nn Kmcty Wheel.
By the bursting of an emery wheel,
upon which - he was polishing a nut,
Frank Fuhken, of the South Ride, a
machinist at tho Delaware, Lackawan
na and Western shops, sustained a se
vere scalp wound, one of the pieces
striking him on the head. He was re
moved to the Moses Taylor hospital.
Marshall Jones, the 11-year-old son
of District Attorney John R. Jones, was
thrown from his bicycle in a collision
with another wheelman Thursday at
his home In Blakely, and sustained a
broken arm.
Thursday night a HttlP girl from Tay
lor, who was crossing In company with
her mother from the Scranton house
corner to the Valley house corner, was
run down by a bicyclist and had her
Up cut. She was more frightened than
hurt, and after being ministered to by
Dr. Everhart In McUnrrah & Thomas'
drug store, she was able to go her way.
The bicyclist never stopped to inquire
what Injury he had inflicted.
AN ISNHlBAlFATUEB.
Sent Ills Chlldrea Out to Beg and Was
Arrested Because lie Persisted in Doing
So.
Jolui H. Kelly, of Hemlock street,
who, despite frequent warnings ami
threats from the Associated Charities,
continued to send his two little chil
dren out begging, was yesterday ar
rested at the instance of T. J. Kelly,
chairman of the child saving commit
tee, and committed to jail in default of
f500 ball by Alderman Fuller.
Kelly Is a shiftless fellow, who, ac
cording to the story of Mrs. Duggan,
agent of the board, works about one
day out of every 365. His wife is dead,
and his oldest boy, aged 17, Is sickly.
Maggie, a 10-year-old girl, and Eddie,
a 5-year-old boy. are the ones he sends
out to beg. When the Associated
Charities commenced the crusade
against beggars and threatened the
Kelly children with arrest, the crafty
father procured a basketful of matches
for the girl and a bootblack's kit for the
boy, and thus thought to avoid prosecu
tion.
SENT OUT AT NIGHT.
As long as the children confined their
operations to the daytime, no serious
objections could be made, but when,
even in the coldest part of the winter,
the little ones were sent out at night,
the board decided to step in and put a
stop to it. Kelly promised to do better
and was not molested.
After a time the children were again
picked up at night making the rounds
of the saloons and their father was ar
rested. He pleaded for another trial.
and upon his solemn promise to go to
work and keep his children at home, he
was not prosecuted.
At the last meeting of the Associated
Charities, new complaints came .in
against the children, so it was resolved
to pick them up If they were again
caught on the streets begging. Thurs
day night the little girl was picked up
and brought to the station house, where
she was kept over night in the Emerg-
kency nospital.
KELLY WAS ARRESTED.
Yesterday morning while the authori
ties of the Associated Charities were at
the station house discussing the case,
Kelly came in to see his daughter. A
warrant was gotten from Alderman
Fuller and forthwith served upon him.
He was given a hearing, and it being
cieany estaDiisnea mat he was not tak
ing proper care of his children, the al
derman held him in $500 ball to answer
at court. He could not raise the
amount and was committed.
The children were taken in charge by
jurs. uuggan. The little girl and boy
were placed In St. Patrick's orphanage.
and the older boy was placed in the
hospital. An effort will be made to
have the children taken from their
neglectful parent and properly cared

BULLET WAS IN HIS HEftD
James Mangan Curried It About fur
Twelve Years.
MISSILE IS NOW RECOVERED
Was Shot by Sexton Thomas Roll, of the
Ujde Park Catholic Cemetery,
With a i lobcrt. Rlflo on
Sept. 3. 1883.
Twelve years ago James Mangan was
shot in the hend with a No. 1 bullet
from a Flobert rifle; he carried the
missile inside his head ever since until
last Sunday, when he felt an ltchlnR
sensation attended with not a llttlo
ualn In the left nostril. He picked nt
the spot and was rewarded by .extract
ing u. substance as large ns a marble.
The outer tls3tio wits of a hard, car
tilaginous substance, and inside it was
the bullet tlattencd Into an oblong
shape.
fter the bullet came out. uiomi
flowed from Ills nose for a tiuaiter of
uu hour, but I: stopped then and has
not started since, and now lie Teel
much relieved physlcully ami mentally
from the absence of the messenger of
death that kept him company sr Inng.
He has the billlett und will keep It
us long as he lives, us u. memento.
Speaking; to a Tribune reporter lust
night he suld that lie had always wor
ried greatly that as long as the bullet
wits In his head, he was In danger of
dropping dead without warning.
tin Sept. 'J, W., Mr. Mangan wus
strolling in the neighborhood of the
Hyde Park Catholic cemetery In rom-
pany with a young woman. Thomas
itit-1, sexton of the grave yard, was out
shooting sparrows with a Flobevt gun.
and ln shot Mr. Mangan. The bullet
penetrated the left side of the head nt
the point of the ear and entered the
skull between the temporal and parietal
bonus.
BEREFT OF REASON.
For several weeks Mr. Mangan hov
ered between life and death, and when
his condition passed the danger point
and he convalesced, his reason was de
throned. For two years his mind was
affected, but at the end of that time
he began to recover and after the lapse
of two years he became restored as well
as ever, und was ablo to remember In
cidents in his life up to the time of the
accident. Everything for two years af
ter it, however, wiip, and is now, a
blank.
The right side of his body is partially
paralyzed. He walks with a halting
step and his right arm. Is almost now
erless, but he Is not devoid of feeling
altogether on that side. The paralysis
does not extend above the shoulder
and has not affected the muscles of
the neck or faqe.
When the accident happened he was
a young man about attaining his ma
jority. He is now stout and, muscular.
and though he is not as tall ns medium
height he weighs nearly 170 pounds,
and enjoys ,very good health. He has
been engaged ror two years and six
months past conducting a confectionery
and cigar store at 401 Stone avenue in
the Twelfth ward.
COURSE OF THE BULLET.
Mr. Mangan said last night that for
years ne was frequently troubled with
pains in his head and earaches. Buzz
ing noises annoyed him very often and
sometimes he became almost deaf. He
ascribed it all to tho presence of the
bullet. The doptors had made no effort
to probe for it for fear of injuring the
Dram.
He described, by running his fore
finger in a line from liis ear to his nose,
wnere ne leit tne pain. There Is a ca
nal running from the car to the noso
called the Eustachian tube, and It Is
quite probable that the lead worked its
way into this passage and In that way
reached the nasal organ, from which
he extracted It last Sunday. He has
not talked of the case to many and felt
averse to raking up the facts connect
ed with the accident.
IT WAS AN INDIAN SONG.
Sexton Rlel was tried in court for the
shooting and was acquitted. He
claimed that he heard a woman scream
and believing her to be in need of as
sistance rushed to defend her and shot
Mangan. The woman was a witness In
the case and she testified that what
Mr. Riel mistook for a scream from her
was nothing more than an Indian song
she was chanting. He was not familiar
with such melody, or this story would
never nave oeen written.
ACCIDENT TO A CORPSE.
Candle Was Vpset and Set Fire to the
Canopy.
Mary Smith, a young Polish woman
of Parker street, died at her home
Thursday morning, and Undertaker
Jones was sent for to prepare tho re
mains . ror . burial. The body was
wrapped in a shroud and placed on an
undertaker's board in the front room
of the house.
The board was covered with a canopy
and at tne Head stood a small table,
on which was u candle In a bottle. The
bottle burst and tho candle set fire to
the tablecloth and from that the shroud
caught, but before the lire had left
any traces on the body, except a slight
scorch on one of tho fingers and an
other on thehead, it was extinguished,

Jones was In the room at the time and
that the body narrowly escaped incln-

WALKER WHITFSIDE-S HAMLET.
Walker Whiteside was setn at . the
Frothlngham last evening in- "Hamlet.
With Kdwln Uootn s Mamiei sun a viviu
reality In the minds of theater-goers it Is
dilllcult for any other actor to win a warm
place m tne reparu or ine piium- m

tempts so to do Is a very young man, as Is
Mr. Whlteflde. It requires no little hardi

Not a tew in tne ratner small autnence
that saw him lust uittht expected to see

best tradition. They expected a modern
ized Hamlet, but they were disappointed.
Mr. Whiteside's conception of the charac
ter does not differ radically from that of
the great actors who have been his prede
cessors in It. The modernizing consists of
presenting It in accordance with the
ideas of stage aft that prevail today.
Mr. Whiteside is not only a young man,
but a. rather small one in stature as well;
scmewhat of the height of Kdwln Hbolh,
but with less breadth of shoulders. In ap

but p'ossesses an Intense quality that Im

His facial expressln is too studied, but hn
has a good stage present, and in manner
is free and unconscious of self. One of
his greatest defects is his enunciation,

as to what he Is saving.

What a silly thing it Is to attempt to
conduct any business, be it millinery..
clothing, real estate or any line of legrltli
mate traan upon tne assumption mat your
patrons, whoso trade you solicit, are to
be creatures entirely bereft of interest.
You can- depend upon it when cheap
prices are advertised the articles so ad
vertised are cheap or out of date. Per
haps such advertising "pays," but that Is
not the kind we do. We are selling mil
linery upon the basis of a permanent and
conxtnntly Increasing trade to make it
an advertising medium by Itself, and as
we stated In our first "ad," which was
our bow to the public and we state It
again. Our styles and qualities are right
anil prli'es as low tut any 'house In the
state. 1 r purcnaaes am not entirely mtt-
Hlartory, return the goods and get your
