lie Will Ho Seen at the Y. M. C. A.
Hall Tuesday If veiling.
The fouith number of tho Young
Men's Christian Association's standard
couise will be given on Tuesday even
lng, Feb. 9, by Leland T. Poweis, the
Impersonator. This vv 111 be the fifth
appearance of Mr. Poweis In Scranton.
He was le-ongaged by the committee
Mho hao arranged the couise, In re
sponse to a. veiy generally expressed
wish on the pait of the patorns of the
couise that this should be done.
In tho eaily pait of last summer the
committee found that Mr. Powers.' time
was so fully taken up that It was ex
ceedingly doubtful whether or not ho
could appear In Scranton; but a per
sonal appeal to him to anange a date
for us if possible, led him to do so by
auanging to cancel a date elsowheie.
Mr. Powers will appear this iear in a
new play entitled "Lord Chumloy,"
which is said to bo one of his best
plays, nnd as there are ton char.icteis in
It, It enables him to use his lemaikable
ability as an lmpeisonator. To tho?o
who have not yet heard Mr. Powers it
can be said that he Is beyond doubt one
of the most etsatlle men In the land.
WOMAN FELL DOWN STAIRS.
Occident to .Mrs. William Sicl;erl, of
J.iiKo Wmoln.
Mrs. William Slckerly, of Lake WI
Tiola, who is visiting her bon-ln-law,
Mr. Bender, of l'-M South Seventh ditot,
fell headlong down a lllght of stalls
yesterday moinlng and was lendeted
uuconfeclous. It was still dnik when
she arose In the moinlng, the gas In tho
hall was not burning and she mis
Judged the location of the stair land
ing, with the lesult that bin: fell as
above stated.
When Dr. rennypacker called ho
found the woman's lnjuiles to compilse
wounds about the head, two bioken
libs and a bioktn wiist. The lnjuiles
aie not consldeted dangerous.
BABY'S
SHOES
Kicked them through
again, has he? Well,
bless his little heart it
only goes to show he's
healthy and vigorous,
We're closing out a
few little lots of shoes
for little tots at just-what-we-paid-for-'em
which is certainly less
than you usually pay.

in the flist dogiee, five for second dc
gioe and (ho for manslaughtei. The

ion about the couit house was that the

vicious suiioundings and that the fath
ei was himself In a gieat mcasuio le
sponslble foi these suiioundings and

likely. Tho maximum penalty for man
slaughter Is twelve eais and $1,000
fine. The maximum penalty for second
degiee murdei is twenty eais without
any mention of fine.
In couit 100m No 2 the case of Mary
Bums chat god, with keeping a dlsoi
deily house In Rendham, occupied all
tho moinlng and pait of tho afternoon
It seems when eery pay day comes
aiound Mis. Bums is wont to ask hei
Italian and coloied nelghhois In to hae
a good time. Although Mrs Bums is
fiom "Bonny Scotland" and does not
understand Italian or Ethiopian veiy
well. She and her good tt lends know
enough of each othet's language to get
pietty diunlc together. One of her
Italian calleis has a little glil who
"lushed the giowlei" for the patty un
til she got tiled of acting ns baitend
ei and inauguiated a stiike. Her ra til
er began beating the child when some
of the nelghhois inteifeued and the
boater was beaten. He lan Into Mis.
Burns' house and she piotocted the
swaithy son of Italy fiom tho ,tath
of tho populace.
SHD USED A POKEIt.
When the constable came to berve the
wauant she endeavoiod to use a poker
to 111 til the wauant but dosttood In
her eagerness one of her scieen doois.
Mis. Bums was not intoxicated at all,
she baS, but the good citizens of Ilend
lum dumped her Into a wheel bauow
and in this chailot she was taken to
the 'htiulie'.s olllce, clad less than a
whit moie tlaboiatel than Venus was
when .she atose fiom the sea. Mis.
Bums declaied that sdie was not boss
of the house and should not be made
the defendant. Peter, her husband, al
so testified that ho and he alone was
the boss. Some of the neighbors, how -ever,
thought different John H. Wil
liams, the piosecutor, aveired that he
had no peisonal gilevance against Mis.
Bums, but was acting for the com
munity at laige, which was deslious of
getting ild of Mis. Bums, her tilbe and
theii Bniihumillan oigles The juiy In
the case was out at adjournment.
Tho case of John F. Sheridan ac us

to the non-appearance of tho accuser,
a verdict of not guilty was dltecttd.
Patrick Kutchford, Jr., was tiled be
fore Judge Edwaids for committing an
assault and battel y upon Maty Wll

tilx that Ilatchfoid enteied her houso
In a diunken condition August 1 last
and when she drove him out he tinned
on her, pushed her against a wall and
fiactured three of her libs. Tho claim
of the defense was that she received
the Injury In falling while utemptlng
to assault the defendant. The Jury Is
still dlscusslns the question, "Did she
fall, or was she pushed?"
Seven cases weie given to a Jury at
one time In the mnin court room. An

with the assistance of Kaalnskl, robbed
him on the 2!)th of last November In

out on this cne.
