WONDERS OF THE SAGES.
Their Hypnotic Work nt the Academy
is Well Uono.
The strange and unusual feats ac
complished by the Sages und their us
filstanls In the exhibition of hypnotic
and mesmeric power nt the Academy
of Music last night cannot be faithful
ly described In limited space. It Is
enough to say that about every feat
which hypnotists claim they are able
to perform was done or can be done by
the Sages and their two uides. A. U.
McDoile und Dr. Granville dray.
All the seats in thu Academy were
occupied anil the lame audience was
not tired when the curtain was wrung
down. Meanwhile a young man at
tached to the company hud been put
to sleep nnd afterward carried to one
of the display windows in Dunn's fur
nishing store, where the subject will
slumber until Ml o'clock Wednesday
evening, w hen he will be 'awakened on
the Academy stage. I'ntil then he will
be wutthed by a committee of local
people und will receive neither food
nor drink. The same feat was per
foitnel by the Sages when here last
spring.
Since their last appearance here the
Sages have become more dramatic In
their work and give a beter entertain
men than ever and Hint Is saying a
great deal. One of last night's subjects
was induced to sleep und his heat ac
tion controlled while the pulsations
were tested by Drs. (Jibbs. Iteedy and
O'.Mulley. The heart wus made to
beat nominally wlillo the right pulse
registered from 100 to 116 beats and
the left pulse from K4 to AC beats. The
doctors then changed positions and
the light pulse was made to register
!t'i and the left "S, tho heart beating 85
times.
Not the least best of the entertain
ment was the exhibition of tho clne
matogruphe pictures. The machine Is
a French Invention nnd Is similar to the
vltuscopc, but Is much better perfected.
The Sagos will be here one week.
Popular prices will' prevail during their
slay, during which either Mr. or Mrs.
Sage or one of their assistants w ill give
exhibitions free of charge in private
houses.

MRS. LUCY BOOTH
ATTACKS MR. HOWELL
Sensational Scene at Last N .'gut's Meet
inf of Board of Con rol.
SUPERINTENDENT'S HONOR ASSAILED
Cbnrgcs ltellectini; on the Teachers'
Cbiirucler Found to lie Without
Foundation and She Wa F.xoner
nted by Ihe Board, After Which She
Wa tiiven the Floor--Supt. Howell
Accused of Ueuiingr Her a Uclvnse.
t'liurlcs (W. Scbantr Succeeds
(icorgc Mitchell.
Such a scene as the one presented at
last tilclit's meeting of the board of
control wus never before witnessed In
the history of that body, and for deep
ly dramatic effect it surpassed even the
climaxes of some of the leading trag
edies before the footlights.
The case of Mis. Lucy Kooth was
disposed of.
An obtuse observer could not fall
to notice upon filtering the meeting
room before the meeting was called to
order that some startling developments
would eventuate. There wus an air of
mystery on the fuoes of the controllers
who were not hid away In the com
mittee rooms. It was S.15 before Presi
dent Schrlefer's gavel rapped order.
A few minutes were taken up with
minor matters, und then cume the be
ginning of the scene, when Mr. Worm
ser arose in his place and said that
certain charges derogatory to the char
acter of one of the teachers In the high
school had gone, out, the High and
Training School committee had Inves
tigated the charges and begged leave
to submit the following report:
TI1K CHAIIOE GROUNDLKSR.
Certain reports prejudiced to the charac
ter of Mrs. Liny Hoolh having been
brought to the members of the high an I
training school committee they fell It
to lie their duty as u committee, to exam
ine Into the truth of such reports, anil
after making such examination as they
have been able to do, ami having all sueh
statements as they could get knowledge,
of, and after mature consideration, we,
the committee, believe such reports to be
entirely unfounded and untrue und In
justice to the ludy mentioned, do so re
port. What motive could have actuated the
accuser of Mrs. 1 Sooth we do not know,
but It certainly has the appearance of I.e.
lug a willful and malicious falsehood told
about this lady for the purpose of Injur
ing her.
F. L. Wormsor.
W. S. Lung-Ian,
O. n. Sehrcifer,
A. L. Francois,
CI. II. 1'ursou.
A motion was made to adopt the re
port, and It wus amended by Mr. Par
ker that the report be adopted and the
action of the committee in conducting
the investigation be Indorsed, llefore
the motion was put Mr. Jennings had
the amendment Included that all pa--pers
in the cuse lie pluced on lile in the
olllce of Secretary Fellows.
When the motion went through as
twice amended, Mr. Welsh said that
Mrs. Kooth was in the next room, and
he moved that she be accorded the
privilege of making a statement. Ills
motion was passed.
Mrs. Kooth approached slowly from
the secretary's olllce, leaning upon the
arm of her son, a boy in his teens. She
looked III and pale. Her words were
uttered in a subdued tone, easily loud
enough to be heard in all corners of the
room: but there wus a distinct ring in
every syllable, and she seemed to be
pouring out the vials of her hate In ev
ery sentence. The room was as silent
as the grave. This Is what she said:
WO.M AN'S KKP VTATION.
No matter could be more grave than
that which has been under consideration
In re. No charge could be more deeply
fraught with disastrous consequences.
Viewed from a point of results, a. charge
of murder woui.l be slight In comparison.
The i tiding of a life physical is less a
crime than the wanton destruction of that
which makes lire desirable. It is not all
of death to die, nor all of life to be per
uilltcil to exist. Society Is so cnnstltiilcd
that a woman really lives or virtually dies
according to the repute In which she Is
held In the conimiinXy.
I came to this city live years ngo with
an unblemished reputation, a high stand
ing as a director of drawing, and the most
implicit conlldence and warmest esteem t f
Ihe people by whom 1 was employed. I
havt worked In your schools faithfully
ami loyally. I have lived my life among
you openly, quietly, blamelessly. I have
been so fully occupied with my work tii.it
I have given myself little time for social
tnjoyinent, and I have very few 'ac
quaintances In the city. A knowledge of
this fact may have emboldened uialiiions-ly-iucH:ied
people to make this ultack
upon me.
tin Saturday evening, Nov. 21. I received
a communication signed by six men, und
Mr. Howell, the Import of which is known
lo all here present. It w as a peremptory
reliqest for my resignation to be read be
fore the boa ril of Nov. Z. No reason was
unsigned. I was overwhelmed. 1 was
stunned. 1 had been so sure of the couli
dence and esteem of the board, and when
Mr. Howell told me, some lime previous
ly, that tin. committee had voted me my
salary during ubseiice, I had taken til it
us a mark of their sympathy on account
of my Illness und their appreciation of my
services.
I mentally' reviewed my work to dis
cover where, if nt all, I had been remiss In
duty. I recalled the various ulterinces
that I had ever made In regard to the board
of control ns a body or to .Mr. Howell as
superintendent, but could tind no lack ef
professional loyalty to the one, no failure
In professional courtesy to the other.
I culled on Mr. Howell early on Sunday
morninc, Nov. . His manner lo nie was
discourteous In Ihe extreme; his tone and
hearing Insufferably Insolent. Were I en
dowed with the physical strength to make
such treatment efficacious, and any man
had borne himself to me as Mr. Howell
did, I would have crushed him lo the
ground. I care not how high his position
nor how eonleiiiiil Ible his character, the
proper answer would have be.n a blow.
NO F.XPLA NATION.
He would make no explanation except
that grave charges had been brouitiit
against me ami that the committee had
given me the privilege of resigning. 11j
refused to state Ihe nature of those charg
es or the name of the person who pre
ferred their. He stated that the com
mltue had not acted hastily In the mat
ter, and that a conclusion was arrived at ;
only after due and cnrciil consideration j
und while acting under legal advice. I 1
asked :f there was no one Iroiii whom I
could obtain the Information, and he said
"Not from anyone, for those men whose
names appear on that paper are pledged
to secrecy." He added, as mi nfer
thouirht. that Mr. Wormser might tell me,
though why Mr. Wormser should be "X
pecteiltto divulge n secret he was pl"dg" I
to ke"p did not appear. He further ad
vised me to send in my resignation, ami
hush the matter u; and prevent li from
becoming public. Hut. gentlemen, I had
nothing to hush up. and I told Mr. Howell
that If '.n order that I might know the
nature of those charges It became neces
saty to make them public, then they
should be made public, for I must know.
(ientl'-mcn. i ask you if this is true; w.i
this done after 'Mile ami careful consider
ation';" Look you to see Mr. Howell's at
titude in this matter. When those things
came to him did he Investigate the
charges, did he inquire Into the veracity
or standing of the ! -ergon making thetu;
did ho come to me to see what. If any
thing, I had to say In answer to such accu
sations? Mr. Howell mav plead that It
was a delicate mptter to speak of to a
woman. I grant that a very dellejte
matlcr; nnd yet if the sunerlntlve delica
cy, the abnormal modesty that charac
terize Mr. Howell, ns evinced by the pa
per he has read to ithe gentlemen of the
committee, prevented his speaking lo me,
he could hnve gone to some of my friends,
he could have mentioned the imittor lo
a hundred people who now stand ready lo
vindicate my honor and sustain my repu
tation. Why ilhl he not do some one or all
of these things; why did he not tell me
when 1 called on him on Sunday morn
ing? I wPl tell you. It was because he
dare not. It was the net of a eowaril'who
raises his arm to strike but ha not the
courage to rive lhe blow.
Oentlemen, I am not "ontendlng for my
position, but for that which every true
woman holds dearer than t'fe Itself a
spotless reputation. It is not solely for
my own sake that I s;ieak now, but for
the protection of the womanhood that Is
represented In tho schools of this city.
For many another woman Just us Inno
cent as 1. under such an attack as this,
might have lacked the courage of defense
and. rather than endure the publicity to
repugnant lo any woman of delicate feel
ings, might have resigned and crept nw ly
l:ke a wounded bird to die. Let every
woman teaching la this city ask herself
if hi-r womanhood may not be assailed
tomorrow, for how cun any teacher feel
herself safe when the superintendent lends
Ids aid to such a diabolical plot against
one of their number. As for the person
who nsslsted him in this, I have only this
to say: "Cod made her, let her pass for
a woman."
(JVESTION OF HONOR.
Whatever Jlr. Howell's motive, may
have been he has done me a most cruel
wrong, one for which he cun make no
reparation. 1 will not say he is u scoun
drel, for ought 1 know that may be ac
tionable and 1 have no wish to be called
upon to defend myself in a civil cuse; but
I will sny he Is one who has abused the
high privilege of his olllce and violated
the trust of the men who placed him ill
the position he has failed to honor. I will
not say he is a villain, hut 1 will say he
Is a mun whom good women will do well
to avoid and with whom honorabe men
will not care to associate.
i ieiitleiueii. a woman's reputntlon Is her
nil. A superintendent of schools should
consider the welfare of his teachers ns
entrusted to his keeping. He should pro
tect his teachers' reputation until he is
convinced by Ihe most powerful and over
whelming evidence of iinwoii Illness. Mr.
Howell assails mine on the unsupported
evidence of a woman of whom he knows
absolutely nothing, inslead of being my
defender, Mr. Howell stands as my ac
cuser and prosecutor. When I refused
to resign and he was forced lo maintain
his position, he made a pretense at Inves
tigating, but failed to call before the com
mittee any of the people he had ques
tioned because he learned they had no ill
lug to say to my detriment. Notwith
standing an almost frantic search on his
part he was unable to rind any one to
substantiate the charges. Hut, gentle
men, when was it he made even this pre.
Ii use of Investigating? After he is forced
to it: after t hi- dastardly blow has been
I'enlt: after he has caused me days mid
nights of agony which years of time can
never efl'ace from my memory; after he
as learned that I am not friendless and
he fears he has gone loo far. It Is Ihe
act of on assassin who stalls III the da.k
and tlees when daylight comes.
Lit the mi ll of this city whose daugh
ters are in training for teachers consider
well before seeking onsltlons for I hem In
schools bo long ns this man Is superiu
tcndeiit. Let the members of this board
think of a sister or a daughter III the posi
tion In which I am placed and Imagine
their fellings then in regard to the man
who. In secret session and behind locked
doors, made a cowardly attempt to hurry
this matter lo what he considered a con
clusion, t.el Mr. Howell himself look
forward Into Ihe years to come when,
perhaps deprived of his protecting arm,
his own wife may stand, alone, to light
the battle of life for herself and those de
pendent on her. Let him think of the
bitter tears mid agony of mind nt such
shameful humiliation. Let him think in
the year to come of his own daughter,
the little ch'1'1 who now plavs about his
knee, nnd delights his heart wilh her child
ish prattle; let him think of her in such a
position, end 1 ask him. how would he
regard the man who refused her the poor
privilege of defending her name against
charges and accusations that are as false
as they are malicious.
AFTF.lt THU SVPF.UINTF.NDENT.
John fiihbons took the floor as soon
ns she left the room nnd he said that
H would be impossible for the board
to overlook what she had said about
Supeiiiiteindeiit Howell. He made a
motion that the committee take the
mntler up und sift It thoroughly. Mr.
Jacobs moved that Messrs. Jennings
and Wnlsh be added to the committee.
Mr. Jennings' view that it was a mat
ter for the entire board to deal with
Impressed the other members ns be
ing correct and his mot Ion prevailed
that a special meeting be hold on Wed
nesday evening, December 9, and the
secretary will notify .Mr. Howell to be
present and offer his defense.
Charles W. riharar, of :!'.! Kast Mar
ket street, was chosen to succeed (leo.
Mitchell as controller from the First
ward until the next city election. All
the members voted for him, und he
appeared nt the close of the meeting
and was sworn In. He Is about 114 years
old it ml has lived in the First ward al
most all his life. He Is a son of Chris
tian II. Scharar, ihief mining engineer
of the Delaware and Hudson, and Is
himself a mining engineer In charge of
all the Delaware and Hudson collieries
In Luzerne county. He has been in the
employ ut the company for fifteen
yea is.
The building committee presented n
report recommending that he contract

lo M. J. Jtuddy for $l,ruu.
A BABY'S RED STOCKING.
Eicellent Farce Comedy oiv nt
Davis' Theater.
One of tho most amusing of th
many good fnrco comedies that have
been seen at Davis' theater Is "A
Haby's Red Slocking," which opened a
three days' engagement there last
night. Leading the company Is Ml.-s
Alice Hanson, a very clever young sou
brette, whose dancing and singing Is
the most marked feature of the enter
tainment. There are other features,
though, as excellent as they are numer
ous and nil in all it is a very creditable
performance.
The farce Is built around the finding
of a fortune In a bay's red stocking
and the play itself without the inci
dentals introduced by the fourteen ar
tists in the company would be suffi
ciently entertninimr for a most cul
tured audience.
The matinee performance had to lie
cut yesterday owning to the dismissal
during the morning of one of the lncly
members of the troupe, 'Miss Mabel
Darville. Miss Arline Athens assumed
the role in the evening and acquitted
lieiscli very creditably.
NEW ASPHALT AGENTS.
