A foul in the eighth round snved HM
Poole, of Arkansas, from an Inevit
able Unoekout nnd biivc Jack TlRtie, of
this cltv, the decision In what was to
have lieen a llftoen-rotinU bout between
the two in Music Hall last night, l'oolo
beKan drifting toward sleepy land In
the seventh round and lost his temper
during the eighth, In which he got lila
left aim around Tlgue's neck and hlp
locked him through the ropes to tho
footlights.
It required nearly half a minute for
Keferee Murphy and two of Tlgue's
seennds to pull the pair apart. After
the derision was awarded to Tlgue
many of the spectators gained access
to the stnee. Poole later got into
Tlguo's corner and the pair were dis
posed to settle their differences sans
rufcs when they were again separated
ijnd the curtain rune down. However,
IHjfore the foul declined Tieuo had
demonstrated his superiority and would
probabb have finished his man in tho
next round.
The men met at catchwelghts. Tlguo
weighed 133 pounds nnd Poole looked
several pounds heavier. The latter was
not In the bust of condition, but the
Pirantonlan appeared lit to battle for
Ills life. In Poole's coiner were "Red"
Connolly nnd ".Strong Hoy" Jones, of
Simpson, ami Toby Gardner, of this
city. Tlgue's handlers were James
Judge, the champion welterweight of
Northeastern Pennsylvania; Paddy
Hopkins and Dick Kavers. Pat Durkln
and Mike Connolly were timekeepers.
During the first three -rounds no de
cisive business was transacted. Poole
was showing himself to lie no novice
at the art and, talcing advantase of
Tlgue's caution, exhibited considerable
knowledge of offensive and defensive
work.
FIIIST TELLING HLOYV.
Tho first telling blow of the bout
was scored by Tlgue at the conclusion
of the fourth round. He had ducked
two healthy left swings nnd forced
Pnole to the ropes, where the Seran
tonlan landed full nnd clean with his
right on the Arkansas traveler's neck.
As soon as the glove found its resting
place the gong sounded, apparently
much to the relief of Poole.
Thereafter the contest was in Tlgue's
favor at all stages of the game. Poole
was always playing his favorite string,
a left sw ing for the neck nnd a right
Jolt for the wind, but only twice dur
ing the liftli nnd sixth rounds was the
fcranton boy's red head or his body
within range. Poole In return for his
pains received several right crosses on
the neck, jaw and ear.
lt'llj in the seventh Tlgue missed
left pvlng connections but placed twn
snou-arni rightK under Poole's heart.
Ihr latter was running away, but
piipod to tniss a right for tho body.
Tigui took advantage of tho opening
"nl s-nt his right onto Poole's nosa
t H the fit st flow of claret. Poole was
wok ) ml hugging when the bell ran?.
The pair had no sooner opened the
eirhl'i 'hen l'oolo inshed Tlgue int.)
tltr iatltr'b corner near the front ol
the sure Tlgue ducked and Poole got
h in tn h:s lip nnd Hung- him through
tho ropex. He did not break his hold.
Referee Murphy and Tlgue's seconds
pulled thf pair into the ring and fin
ally separated them nnd the decision
wan given to Tigue.
Ir the confusion already described
"Squirrel" Finnerty Jumped upon the
stage and made known his willingness
for a match with Tigue at any time.
ACllOIMTIC KXHIPITION.
The opening number was an acro
batic exhibition by the same pair of
Juvenile bootblacks who have appeared
at several similar entertainments at
Music hall In the past.
A fast and decisive four-round argu
ment nt 113 pounds was decided be
tween Fred Duggan and Titus Gilf
fiths. both of Olyphant. the former be
ing declar. d the winner. Duggan was
the agressor from the call of time. He
was the stronger and used the better
Judgment though Grlfllths wan gifted
with the greater activity. In thn fourth
round Duggan drew first color and
proved himself su clearly the superior
m(H( that Keferee Murphy declared the
bout In Ills favor before time was
called. Duggan was seconded by P. J.
Mnluney and Toby Gardner. Behind
Grlllltlui were Jim Connors and T. J.
GriMvy.
A battle royal nniong four colored
men was the third event, and iinme
dlnM preceded the star attraction.
The biggest man of the four was the
common enemy of the other three, but
he wns the -ost enduring and the
strongest and t ret roe's decision In
his favor, met . .. approval of the
h'.use.
Announcer Barrett made known tho
20-1" .unci bout which will be decided
between Jimmy Judge, of this city, and
T'liin.y Ilynn. of Philadelphia, in
Music hall next Thursday night. It
will d-nde the welterweight eliumpiou
nbip 'jf the stnte, and will be under the
management of the American .rfportlng
club, which is not, however, the club
that conducted Inst night's entertain
ment It was also announced that on
the iOtli of the month "Squirrel" Fin
neity and Edward McCloskey, of ihn
adelpiila, would meet In a 20-rotmtl ar
gument. Over four hundred spretntors wlt
nebsed last night's affair. It was a
respectable audience and an orderly
one, until tho unfortunate wlndup rat
tied a score or rnoru of persons who
tried to hoot the Arkansas man out of

THEATRICAL ATTRACTIONS.
Ileurlensc.
It Is some tlmo since Scranton has had
a more satisfactory t-tngo production than
"Heartsease," which was teen at the Ly
ceum last night by an audience fur be
low tho merits of tho attraction. "Hcarts
caso" Is a romantic comedy of the best
typo and wns superbly presented by one
of Charles Frohman'h companies, headed
by Henry Miller, who was for several
years the, leading man of tho Empire
Stock company In New York city.
Tho plot of the comedy deals with
tho fortunes of Krlc Temple, a yoiliu?
muMcal composer, who Is In lovo
with iMIss Neville, the daughter of
a wealthy nouleiiuin. He lias writ
ten an opera with which be hopes to win
fame and fortune, and through them tho
sanction of his sweetheart's father to
their marriage. Through the machina
tions of Sir Geoffrey Pomfret, who Is also
In love with the young woman, ho Is
robbed of his opera, and Is placed in n.
false position in the estimation of his
sweetheart and her family. Ills opera Is
subsequently pieduecd under a dlllerelt
title, Ills rival posing ns the composer.
The song "Hi-artease" in the opera leads
to the detection of the theft and fraud
that havo been committed. With the aid
of his sweetheart, who Is now thoroughly
convinced of her lover's honesty, the
rightful composer triumphs.
Kile, after the scene at the opera, ac
companies ills friend. Captain O'Hnra,
to his chambers, with the Intention of re
turning across the channel In the morn
ing. A challenge comes tram the villain,
Sir Geoffrey Pomfret, whose vanishing
glory must be sustained by blood, and it
is promptly accepted. Eric, exhausted,
sinks to rest, when In comes Peter Pad
bury, the money lender, with new proof
of tho operatic theft by ids whilom pa
tron, Pomfret.
Tho captain goes out with him to mill
tho damning evidence, leaving tho door
ajar and in comes Hon. Miss Neville, well
nigh distraught over the rumor that Eric
Is to light her now detested liancee, Pom
fret. In a strong scene she becomes
reconciled to her lover. At this Juncture
the duellists are heard approaching, and
Eric begs her to conceal herself, to save
her honor. Delimit for his safety, slm
Insists that It Is his honor ugalnst herf,
and his refusal to light will bo her safe
guard. After much hesitation at this bitter sac
liilce he consents, ui'd who disappears be
hind the portiere, and the party is ad
mitted. Eric refuses to meet the furious
Pomfret, who now proceeds to unload a
surplus of Invective. He receives thrice
tho blow of the gauntlet, when Miss Nev
ille appears, releasing him from bond
age by the command, "Fight him!" Th"
astonished boaster, Pomfret, reels back.
Eric lias cast aside his ill-fitting com of
cowardice and Is at him.
The sword of Justice never wavers and
It pinked the frenzied braggart time and
again, until crestfallen Lord Neullo and
his train c.ime in nnd stopped the light,
and gave honrr to whom It was due, and
true hearts were united at last beyond
the shallow of a doubt.
Mr. Mlllir's Eric Temple was a work
of art. At tho close of the second act
there is a strong scene between Temple
and his bister which called forth generous
applause, but at the end of the third act
when Mr. Mllelr indulges In the only real
"fireworks" of the comedy he quite car
ried his audience by storm and was com
pelled to como before the curtain and bow
his thanks. Mr. Miller has few supe
riors in Imparting delicate touches. If he
has an apparent fault It Is tho air of re
pression that marks his woik save at the
do-io of the third act and the duel sceno
in the fourth, hi these he gives full vent
to the emotional and It becomes apparent
that tho repression In the other scenes is
merely to make tin strong ones more im
pressive by contrast. He showed tUe nl?o
discrimination the artM displays lit com
bining the colors of a picture in his meth
od of handling t.e lights und shades of
the con.edy.
Miss Margaret Dale made a fine impres
sion by her Impersonation of the role of
the Hon. Miss Neville and Thomas A.
Hall, Arthur Elliot, Frank lieamlsh,
Prince Lloyd, Leslie Allen, Miss Maud
Hosford and Miss Josephine Lovett
proved a worthy supporting company for
tho star.
Tho staging of tho comedy was beauti
ful and historically correct. The lobby
of Covent Garden theater In London was
reproduced in the third act as it appeared
in 17So.

Over in Japan tho people never havo
dared to build their houses or stores
or olllco buildings horo tliun two or
three stories high. If they did the next
lively earthquake tho.t came along
would tumble them nil down. And yet
Japan has recently made Ung stride
toward civilization and is introducing
many of the wonders of human Indust
ry which have characterized the civi
lization of America nnd Europe.
Keeently an architect has drawn
plans for a ilfteen-atory "Hkyscraper"
to be built In the city of Toklo, and
the money has been secured to com
plete tho work. It will have tho usual
steel framework, and Its architect
thinks that no earthquake ever will
shake It down. No doubt when It Is
completed It' will be u most remark

bo provided with elevators, and the
Japanese will have an opportunity for

and landing safely.

that they could not agree und weroi

Martin was the prosecutor nnd Alder

turned a verdict of not guilty by direc
tions of court, but could not agree on
the disposition of the costs. They also
were discharged.
Tills second case was tried before?
Judge Gunster in court room No. '1 nnd
was the llrst called yeoterday morning.
Ilie charge was that of extorting Ille
gal fees. John Martin, the prosecutor,
was the only witness to testify. Ho
snld ho went to Alderman Kelly's oluee
to get an attachment for a man who
Intended to skip out and defraud him
of a bill he owed. The alderman suc
ceeded In collecting the money but the
greater part of It was retained for fees,
the alderman charging up the expenses
of n criminal suit, a civil suit and an
attachment. Martin demutred, saying
he had not directed a criminal suit to
lie Hied but th alderman insisted he
bad and withhold the costs for the
same. For this the urosecutlon was
brought and out of Martin's allegations
In the case, the case of perjury grew-.
CASE NOT MADE OUT. " .
When this testimony had been given
the commonwealth rested. Hon. John
P. Kelly and W. W. Baylor, attorneys
for the defense, ntked to have the case
taken from the Jury on the grounds
that it had not been shown but that all
three suits for which the alderman
charged had been regularly brought.
Judge Gunster said no case had been
made out and directed n verdict of not
guilty. The disposition of the costs he,
however, said was a matter for the
Jury arid ho sent them out to deliberate.
They came in about nn hour later with
the recommendation that the costs be
divided equally, between the prosecu
tor and the county. Tbo Judge would
not accept this finding nnd sent them
back once more. At !1.30, after being
out four hours thev came in and re
ported they could not agree.. Judge
Gunster discharged them, hut before
doing so he read them a little lecture,
telling them there was no reason why
they should not have agreed. He dis
missed them from further attendance
at court this week. ngl"ctlng tho usu

Assistant District Attorney Lowry, who
had been waiting for twelve Jurors to
try a case before Judge MeClure want
ed Judge Gunster to send the Jury over
to No. :!. Judge Gunster very sharply
answered: "No, the Jury is discharg
ed." Harry Courtright, the Georgia "Pine
Knot," was tried before Judge Ed
wards In the main court room for steal
ing n $75 diamond from William Jones.
District Attorney Jones conducted the
prosecution. Attorney John J. Murphy
and W. W. Baylor appeared for the
defendant.
JONES HAS A DIAMOND.
Jones, Courtright, and a number of
others were drinkinc in William T.
Jenkins' hotel, on the night of Oct. 12,
lS'JG. Jones had a larae diamond sot
ting In a ring but when he woke up
in the morning from a sleep on one
of the tables, the vetting was gone. A
short time later Courtright sold the
diamond to Jeweler Itogers. The de
fense was that h'e found the diamond
on the saloon lloor, was hard up at the
time; kept It and sold it with the in
tention of buying It back ngain If any
body claimed It. The Jury was out at
adjournment.
Domlnlek Youkobskl wns tried before
Judge Gunster on two ehnnres of ns
sault and battery preferred respective
ly by Joseph Matullevlez and wife of
Lloyd street. It appears that tho pros
ecutor keeps a boarding house and that
on Christmas day, last year, a crowd of
men from a rival boarding house came
over to his place and raised general
ruction. Yutikobskl was no worse than
the other assailants, it would seem, but
he would not humble himself after tho
custom of his country, by getting down
on ills knees and kissing the aggrieved
party's hand, and so wns called upon
to make reparation In court. The Jury
went out just before adjournment.
Assistant District Attorney Thomas
nnd K. C. Newcomb represented tho
commonwealth and M. J. Walsh ap
peared for the defendant.
Constable Setli Smith wats n principal
figure In two eases that were furnished
by the Providence end of the city. Ono

sistance. At this Mrs, Rogers went to
tho assistance of her husband and
started in to break up the whole thing
by pounding Citizen Williams on the
head with a stone. The Jury had not
returned a verdict at adjournment. As
sistant District Attorney Lowry repre
sented the commonwealth and Taylor
& Lewis, the defense.
A CONSTABLE CHARGED.
In the second case, also tried before
Judge MeClure, Constable Smith was
charged with assault and battery upon
Mrs. Elizabeth Mahon, He went to
her house to servo a writ of dispos
session, and. It was claimed by the de
fendant, assaulted Mrs, Mahon. Tho de.
ft-nso showed that quite conclusively
that Mrs. Mahon met tho constable
with a coffee pot, and that he had to
use force to execute his duty. The jury
id not guilty; county pay the costs.
T. P. Duffy appeared with Assistant
District Attorney Lowry for the prose
cution, and C. W. Dawson, of Vosburg
& Dawson, looked after tho defense.
Edwurd Bnggott was arraigned be
fore Judgo Edwards to unswer for
stealing a suit of clothes and some

The Wanamaker Idea 1
is never to speculate in merchandise. When our buyers strike a. particularly
rare bargain, we pass the benefit on to our customers. Not a penny is ever
added to price because goods are worth more than our cost. The Wanamaker
History Club illustrates this. By undertaking to sell One Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Dollars' worth of Ridpath's History of the World we secured
an entire edition at unheard-of figures.
This history has never been sold for less than $S to $175 per set, accord
ing to binding. Over 50,000 sets have been sold at these prices. Would
50,000 people pay more than worth ? A very slight reduction would have
sold out the entire edition in our two stores but our policy Cuts the Price
in Half. Nor is this all to make this entertaining and educational work
available to everyone that cares to know the characteristics and achievements
of the men and nations who have made the world what it is today, we have
organized
Tim WANAMAKER HISTORY CLUB.
