AIRS. DUQQAN ARRESTED THEM.
Two
Hoys Who I'lny Pool Against
1'nrontnl WIiIicr.
Mrs. "W. 13. Duggan left last night's
meeting of the boaul of associated
charities, of which sho Is agent, nnd
went to a pool room on Penn avenue
near Mulberry street nt the suggestion
of tho mothers of several young boys
who frequent the place. Mrs. Duggan
with tho assistance of Patrolman Sor
ter placed under nrrest Frank Cour
cttl, of 24." ltnmond court nnd Ixna
Van Valen, of 335 Breck court, two
boys under 1G years of ago.
After a peilod of promise-making
at police headquarters the boys were
discharged. The proprietor of the
pool loom, Mrs. Duggan says, will be
prosecuted.
FACTS WERE ALL FALSE.
Attacks Made Upon Mrs. Duggan Shown
to Be Entirely Without Pouadatlon.
Real Fads ot the Case.
At the board of associated charities
meeting, last night, attention was
called to charges that had been public
ly made against tho board's agent In
tho Kitty Donohue case, und it was
suggested that some action should bo
taken In regard to them.
After some discussion as to the pro
priety of noticing tho nccusatlons, it
was decided that It might bo well, out
of consideration for the poison attack
ed, that the board should publicly re
cord its approval of the agent's course
in the cn.se in question, having satis
fled Itself that tho allegations weto
baseless, nnd evidently malicious mls
leptesentntlons. The lepresontatlon In tho uncalled
for attack that clothing had not been
piepared for the child was false as the
agent had and btlll has clothing ready
for tho advent of tho baby. It was said
that the agent wns responsible for the
bill against the girl's traducer, being
ignored by the grand jury. The bill has
never been before the grand jury, but
Is being held by the district nttorney
until certain legal conditions necessary
to tho drawing of the Indictment, bo
fulfilled.
To the charge that the hoard's agent
became surety for Meshler, the ac
cused traducer, a tianscilpt of Alder
man Mlllni's docket was produced,
showing that he was allowed to go on
his own tecognlzance. Tho agent Is
not a property holder and could not
under any circumstances become a
bondsman.
Further It was shown that the board
for the chl wus paid to Mrs. Heap In
full; that the girl willingly and glad
ly left theie to go to the Scianton priv
ate hospital, and, as to her being tak
en away at a thno when she should not
have been distutbed. It was shown
that the physical conditions alleged,
do not even yet exist and it was over
a week ago that she was lemoved.
The St. Vincent de Paul society Is pay
ing for her care at the hospital.
Tho teuton that the cleigyman, who
was called to perfoim the mairlace.
hesitated is that he was not sine that
the girl is not weak minded and he did
not want to ilsk committing an offense
against the state and his church.
In this connection it was also dl
lected that In.structlons be given tho
telephone company to place the boaul
of charities telephone on some lino oth
er than that tunning through the olllco
of the poor tax collectot.
At tho last meeting of the boaul
It wns oideied that the Parfrev boy
be letutned to his mother. After
wauls it developed that the two pei
sons whose signature on Mis. Pmfrey's
petition had Influenced the boaul, had
signed tho petition under a misunder
standing and this coupled with the
fact that the manageis of the Home of
tho Friendless protested ngalnst giv
ing the child back to its alleged disso
lute mother, caused the hoard's agent
to hesitate. Last night the board ap
pioved the agent's action, leconsldered
tho motion of the last meeting and re
solved to let Mrs. Pnrftey ptoceed at
law to recover her child If she cares
to do this.
It was also decided to Issue petlodi
cally a confidential bulletin to be bent
to the boatd's patrons, giving a list
of the fake or uuestlonablesollcltors
that may come to the town and such
other infounntion ns will tend to pro
tect them from the frauds that are
dally practiced
In speaking ot tho work of the board
Rev. Mr. Istael made the statement
that duilng the jear 1S97, twenty-one
girls had been rescued and started on
the right path by the ugent of the so
ciety. Letters from some of these
saved girls were read and It Is safe
to say that tho praises that thev
showered on the board and particularly
on its efficient agent more than repaid
those who heard them for tho little
lobor that there connection with the so
ciety costs.

CHARGED WITH SALE
OF IMPURE FOOD
Agent ot Department of Agriculture
After Scrnnlon Merchants.
CONFERENCE WITH SOME OF THEM
When Agent Simmers round That
Impure nnd Adiiltorntod Artlclos ol
rood Woro Iloing Handled by
Those Merchants, Ho Asked Thorn
to Moot Him In Alderman itllllnr'a
Ollicn--i;islitccn 0 'J' ho in lie
sponded Confcrcnco on Next
Wednesday.
Eighteen merchants or representa
tives of merchants doing business In
this city met in Alderman V. S. Mil
lar's private ofllce yesterday afternoon
and conferred with Robert M. Sim
mers, special agent for the stnto de
partment of ngrlculture. The bone of
contention, or rather tho bone which
brought about the conference was
"Impure Food," found In tho respective
business places of the eighteen by
Agent Simmers In his rounds.
Sooner than inosecute the eighteen,
sooner than have them each nnd sev
erally brought before a committing
magistrate, Agent Simmers had let
ters sent to each of the accused and
by this means were they gathered.
There were twenty-two letters sent
out, four of the merchants falling to
answer the summons. They will come,
however, said Agent Simmers to a
Tribune reporter, If a constable has
to bring them,
MUST APPEAR WEDNESDAY.
Each and every one must be at Al
dormnn Millar's office next Wednesdny
afternoon to settle the cases against
them. If they do not trouble will fol
low. Agent Simmers has been here, off
and on, since last November. Ho has
visited nearly every store In the city
and nl.so In 'Wllkes-Barro and Carbon
dale and towns and villages between.
In this citv alone he secured 44 sam
ples of Impure food including not only
oleomargarine hut also Imitation of
olive oil, spices, vinegar, mustard, and
other groceries. Talking to Agent
Simmers one would think this city was
being dieted chiefly on bogus food.
He mentioned the case of one butcher
who has been arrested five times for
selling oleomargarine.
This butcher, when last arrested,
paid $115 to settle the case and then
he was compelled to sign a written
agreement to sell no more of the stuff.
Spices, olive oil, vinegar, the articles
which lend themselves most easily to
Imitation were found In abundance.
Agent Simmers told the reporter that
Instead of 49 .samples he could have ob
tained several hundred. He selected
those, however, he said which could
be traced to the wholesale jobbers. Af
ter sifting out theFe he sent out his
"call" last Friday to the twenty-four
In this city.
MEETING WAS PRIVATE.
Tho meeting In Aldciman Millar's
ofllce was not open to repoiters. It
wns learned from good authority, how
ever, that Agent Simmers had agreed
to settle the case upon receipt of n
tilvlal fine and the costs In each case.
Tho penalty for a single offense of
selling impute food, as proscribed by
tho law. Is a flno of not less than $30,
nnd not moio than $100, the fcosts of
piosecution, und a term of imprison
ment not to exceed 90 dns and not less
than 30 davs.
When the meeting next Wednesday is
held States Attornev Joseph H. Shoe
maker, of Philadelphia, w III be pres
ent. "NEVER AGAIN" AT THE LYCEUA1.
Taken In its entltcty "Never Again" is
tho most entertaining faice picsented In
Scianton this bcason. It was seen at the
Lceum lust night by a largo audience
nnd what is perhaps of moio Importance,
1111 audience that gave every evidence of
thoroughly enjojlng tho concoction that
was being served up on the Jtuge In
I'roliman's best btvle.
The farce Is boil on id fioni the riemh
and, of course, Is built on tho unfaithful
ness of husband to wife and wife to hus
band. A French lnrco. or, for that nut
ter, any other form of stage pioduction
that bears that stamp, would someway
seem untruo to Its origin If It did not
(leal lightly with matrimony and revel 'n
domestic infelicity. Tho general tone of
the fuico Is Mich that a thoughtful guar
dian might bo justllltd In denying the
oung perfcon tho pi Iv liege of a ctoser
acquaintance with it than Is affoided by
the bill boards, but the situations are
constituted and acted with gteat deli
cacy. Thero Is action a plenty: In tact every
act teems with It, and the faico moves
with a dash and bvvlng lrom beginning
to end su Hick-lit to keep tho interest ot
tho audience constantly kojed up.
Charles Frohman has supplied a cast
for "Never Again" that would be suffi
cient to mako a success of tho most or
dinary kind of a farce. Tho company is
headed by E. M. Holland, who will be re
membered by Scranton theater goers for
his marvelous piece of acting on his last
appearance hero as Hanby, tho servant.
In "A Social Highwayman." Last night
he was a sportive old boy who Is sup
posed by his wife to bo nn exemplifica
tion of all the virtues but who neverthe
less manages to havo a larko now and
then. The history made during one of
these larks Is the foundation of tho farce.
Mr. Holland Is nothing If not natural nnd
his work last night wns a decided treat.
Grace Kimball, as the wife ot Katzen
Jammer, tho musician, was graceful, en
tertaining und good to look at no matter
how sho was gowned, but It was hard
to asboclute her with the frivolous,
thoughtless ex-cook who won the attec
tlons of the cgostleal Katzenjammer. It
Is no small tributo to her to say that she

VERY SAVAGE TRAMP.
Assaulted a
Would
Man with a Knife Who
Not Buy a Blanket
from tlim.
Somebody who slept last night with
out the usual lot of blankets en his
couch will be glad to lead this.
Two blankets, both ot a bright led
color and texture lust as warm, wero
located by th-j police In ns many parts
of the city, and In one case under qulttf
setlous circumstances. The blankets
are now nt police headquaiteis, just a
few yards removed from a nameless
tramp who was caught with one in his
possession and Is now in a cell.
This particular blanket stealer tried,
to bell his booty. To btlng about tho
sale ho used a, knife on his unwilling
customers, hence his forclblo detention.
Ho Is a man of about JO years of nge,
dirty In appearance and poorly clothed.
Last night he was Intoxicated Ho
knocked nt tho door of Michael Kler
skl's house at 26 River street, South
Scranton, at about 3 o'clock in the
evening. Kierski himself opened tho
door.
"How much will you give me for
this?" said the man on the sill, pre
senting as he spoke a red blanket.
"I don't want it," leplied Ulerskl,
suspecting a hornet In the lurid folds
of the red cover.
"But you must take it," said the
tiamp, speaking llercely.
"I don't want It nt any price," le
peated Kierski calmlv.
"I say you do," yell the peddler an
grily as he pushed through tho door
and Into the 100m; "you've got to buy
this blanket, see?"
"Now see hete," spoke back Kler-
fkl. getting as warm .is tho blanket;
"you git out'"
Kierski put his hands on tho tramp's
shoulders with the Intention of remov
ing him. When he did so the man
dropped the blanket, quickly thrust his
hand in his pocket and diew out a
knife. Springing open the. bUgest
blade he atmck savngIy at Kierski.
The sharp steel cut a, deep gash in
Klerckl's left wrist.
A boarder lushed to Klorskt's atsist
ance. A blow fiom the knlfr and he
also bore a wound across his hand.
But the combined strength of tho
two men was too much In the end for
the tramp. He was tin own to the
floor, pinioned and a messenger 'was
sent for help to police headquarters.
Patiolman John Hawks was dispatched
to the house, and at 9 o'clock placed
tho tramp under auest and took him
with the blanket to the police station.
The fellow would not talk of his es
capade, not even giving his name. He
will be given a hearing In police court
this morning.
At about the same time as the affair
In South Scranton another blanket was
located on Penn avenue, near Mul
betry htieet. Jacob Sutavltch, who
keeps a stoie nt No. 420, saw a man
passing with a blanket In his arms.
Survatich lushed out to see the fel
low, but he was seen (list. The man
dropped the blanket and made off to
waid Capouse avenue at the top of his
speed. Patrolman Block carried the
blanket to police headquarters. It was
ted.
Those who lost blankets may. act, as
the lodge notices say, "accordingly."

THE LECTURE ON
MICHAEL ANGELO
Delivered by A. V. Oowcr In tho Audi
torlum ol High School.
IT WAS A BRILLIANT EFFORT
Illustrated by Many llcnullliil Views
olillnstcrpluccsof Angolonnd Othor
I'ninotis Artlsts-Mr. II owe r Said
AuroIo Wns Not Only a Sculptor,
Artist nnd Architect, but n 1'oct
Less Known to the World Than Ho
Should lie.
A. V. Bower, of this city, appeared
in tho Standard course ot the Young
Mi'n's Chrlstlnn association last eve
ning In the high school auditorium.
The subject of his lecture wns Michael
Angela. It was one of the best, If not
tho best, In the series. Mr. Bower Is a
brilliant speaker, and Is a favorite In
his home city, where his wide culture
urd delightful manner ot presenting
subjects nro greatlv appreciated. His
scholarly development of the fascinat
ing theme of Inst evening wns heard
with wrapt interest by a largo nud-
lenco.
Mr. Rower's lecture was made addi
tionally attractive by a magnificent set
of Illustrations comprising not only the
most illustrious work in Scripture nnd
painting bv the great master but also
mnny by Raphael. These views wero
taken by special older of Mr. Bovver,
who lias spent much time during the
past seven years 'n collecting material
on this subject.
In beginning the spcnKer said that
ho did not purpose giving a history of
the turbulent times nor of the artist
contemporaries of Michael Angelo, but
to simply follow the one life, which,
In ltu field of labor ns architect, ar
tist and sculptor, stands foremost.
Cnprisi, the birthplace of the great
artist, was described with graphic
touches, as weio also his early days,
when the triumph of the young genius
began with his being bound bv the
elder Buonorottl to learn the nrt of
painting with a master.
HIS EARLY WORK.
Michael Angelo was about twenty
four when ho finished the Pleta, which
still remains unrivalled for the union
of sublime aesthetic beauty with pro
found religious feeling. The Immortal
loveliness of death In the recumbent
figure of tho Christ In the aims of his
sorrowing mother, caused all previous
productions to pass Into shadow. With
the production of the colossnl statue of
David ho became the master of all
Italy. His favor with Pope Julius II
resulted In the commission for a tomb
which would have occupied the greater
part of his Hfo had not tho death of
the Pope ended the project, which
caused more sorrow, disappointment
and misunderstandings thnn all his
other efforts.
Tho work In the Slstlne nnd the dif
ficulties thrown leund It by Brnmnnte
were described. The record of twenty
months' toll lesultlng In seventy com
plete pictures stands unparalleled. It Is
said by Kugler that It contains the
most perfect work done by Michael
Angelo In his long and active life. The
scenes from Genesis are the most sub
lime leprescntatlons of these subjects.
Here his great spirit appears In Its
noblest dignity. Its highest purity.
When we reflect upon the extent of
the Slstlne Vault, the difficulties pre
sented by Its curves, when we remem
ber that this enormous space Is ullve
with 343 flguies In every conceivable
attitude, some twelve feet high, those
seated ag prophets and sibyls mensui
lng neatly eighteen feet when upright,
when wo see all animated with extra
ordinary vigor, presenting types of the
utmost vatlety nnd vivid beauty, Im
agination quails before tho intellectual
energy which could fltst conceive a
scheme so comnlex nnd then carry It
with such mathematical precision In Its
minutest details, the results seem over
whelming. MEDICI TOMB DESCRIBED.
The Medici tomb was described in
detail, and a desctlptlon of the great
masterpiece, the Last Judgment, fol
lowed, and his work on St. Peter's
was rapidly delineated, und then the
speaker passed on to his genius ns a
poet, saying "He wan not only a sculp
tor, artist and architect, but a poet
less known to the world than he should
be. So grent was he in other respects
that his powers as a poet are dwarfed.
Had he been but a poet he would have
been tecognlzed as a gteat poet,
Michael Angelo 'and Dante weie
alike. Had they lived In the same
age what a union their communion
would have been. As .dichael Angelo
was nn artisan cxprcs'iiig In innum
erable material foims the great Insplr
ntlqn of his unequalled 'genuls and In
spired soul, so Dante crew from pol
itics, history, moials, i.nture and all
heavenly mysteries tho materials with
which he cieated his Intellectual mas
terpieces." At the age of 91 the great artist died
active to the last. T) him life meant
responsibility. He had no peace, even
In old age. He never man led, and his
only bride was att. His father and
brother were not frlendiy toward him,
nnd .vt't h supported them, in order
to do so sleeping with his workmen,
nitead of having his own room. The
