Elks' minstrels, They Indicate that
uur local black faco comedians aro not
altogether llko unto tho proverbial
prophet outside his own bailiwick:
"It wo a regular minstrel performaneo
with a llrst part of inoro Interest than
many a profestonnl show nnd followed by
u number of good specialties, The first
part setting vsus very effective, tho stage
being draped In bunting and two big
American Hags overhead. The loud shirt
cd, high collared, black faco artists num.
beied sixteen, and an equal numbir of
white face porformors were seated while
Bauer's band, on tiers of seats, furnished
tho music. Tho opening was a clever
danco drill by the black face men, and tho
encores of tho evening started with it.
Then followed vocal selections by D.
.Stevens, John Jones, John T. livens,
Phil Warren, W. L. Alios, Kmll Schimpff,
W. Wclchel and Leo Coyne, nil of which
were well given nnd wero encortd. The
musical specialty, 'McGilllgan's band,'
ended the first oart and caused lots of
laughter, tho performers being grotesque
ly attired us colored women
"A couplo of very clover boy tumblers
opened tho olio. They were called out
threo times. William P. Ely, tho famous
whistler, gave tho intermezzo from 'Jl
Trovatore,' nnd 'Just One air), nnd was
vigorously applauded. Th.cn Bauer's band
played tho overture from Lovely Galatea
delightfully and Thomas D. Van Osten
gave an excellent Imitation of Sousa,
lending tho band In a couple of two steps.
Tho Elks' quartette sang delightful and
then camo ono of tho chief features of
tho evening, tho cako walk, by six fari
tastlcally dressed couples, which was
excellently done nnd caused lots of
laughter and applause. J. J. Loftus and
V. A. Blmrcll took tho cake.
"Next nn additional feitr'e was pre
sented, Mr. Daniel L. Hart, of this city,
In his premier original Monologue, In
spired by the occasion and tho audience,
not to speak of two massive bouquets, nil
of which kept tho houso In a roar, cs
peclaly some clever hits at Scranton.
"Charles Hartley, a professional, gav
a wonderfully clever exhibition of ven
trJloqulsm, nnd Miss Inez Mccuskcr, tha
opera singer, was called out four times
nnd sang charmingly.

which u number of local peoplo wero im
personated and some clever hits made."
llecord.
"It could casly havo been a larger audi
ence, but It Is certain It could not havo
been moro in sympathy with tho per
formers. Every gag was received with
generous npplauo, every song was en
cored nnd everything that tho performers
did was encouraged In every wny possi
ble. Thcro were several bouquets handed
across th footlights and tho whole even
ing evidenced the brotherly regard and
sisterly affection felt for tho nntlercd
monarchs ftom Slocum Hollow.
"Tho first part spectacle, Our Ameri
can Gentlemen, was the usual minstrel
opening with the stage sotting In the na
tional colors, giving u very flno effect
Tho jokes wero nearly all localized nnd
mado a big hit. Tho singing of tho
Elks' t-cxtetto was n pleasing feature,
and tho solo work of D. Stephens. John
Jones, John T. Evans nnd Phil Warren
was exceptionally good. In tho song,
'It's a Good Thing, Push It Along,' by W.
Welchel, the introduction of n llttlo col
ored baby and baby carrlago brightened
tho effect and tickled the risibilities of
tho audience. Leo Covne as the colored
dude, gave a good Impersonation and his
song, 'Hello My Baby,' with chorus by
tho company, was ono of tho lilts of tho
evening.
"The finale to the first part. Polly Mc
Gilllgan's band, was decidedly original
and excruciatingly funny, nnd tho acro
batic work of two little 10-ycar-old
boys, called Wright and Wrong, was ex
ceptionally clever. Bauer's band dem
onstrated their skill in an overture, and
the Elks' quartette, John T. Evans, Phil
Warren, John Jones and Dave Stevens,
delighted everybody. Tho cako walk
with Alex Dunn as master of ceremonies,
created prolonged laughter, and tho
ventriloquism and mimicry of Charles
Hartley were the best of their kind lieatd
In this city for somo years.
"But tho star of tho evening was Miss
Inez Mccusker, n prima donno soprano,
formerly soloist with Sousa's band. Mlrs
Mccuskcr sings as though sho likes It,
and her whole soul seemed to be In lur
voice ns sho gavo tho song which our
own Joo Atkins has mado lmmoital In
Wllkes-Barrc
"But It seems Scranton can never get
nlong without Wllkes-Barrc, and last
night they borrowed Dan Hart from Ben
Dllley for threo minutes, Dan went on
and gavo a. talk on 'Yesterday, Today
and Tomorrow.' He had lots to say. and
said it In such .1 way that tho houso
roared with lnughter. For every joko
tho Scranton men had perpetrated at tho
expense of Wilkes-Barre, Mr. Hart gavo
back with interest, ana cioseu nis tain
with nn Impersonation of Roland Reed
reciting 'Tho Aesthetic Kiss,'
"Tho finale of tho show, called 'Tho
Darktown Swells' Initiation,' was well
done, and on tho wholo tho performance
was most creditable." News-Dealer.
WARRANTS WILL BE ISSUED.
Aichbald Speakeasies to Be Raided
This Week.
Detective Will F. Clifford, represent
ing the citizens' committee which has
undertaken the task of compelling' a
strict obsei vance of tho liquor laws In
Archbald borough, stated yesterday
that fifteen warrants will be Issued this
week for proprietors of speakeasies
who have Ignored the notice sent to
them week before last, to close up their
places.
There were twenty-three of those
notices served. Five of them had tho
desired effect, but In the other cases
the notices were completely Ignored.
Evidence of a character that can bo
counted upon to convict has been se
cured In fifteen cases nnd they will be
prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law.
The accused, or most of them, were
arraigned before the grand Jury last
week at tho Instance of the Archbald
constables, and the bills against them
were Ignored because of lack of evi
dence. Tho evidence which Mr. Clif
ford has antedates that upon which
the constables' complaints were based,
but Mr. Clifford avers that If the plea
of "previous adjudication" Is entered
he will be at hand with means to cir
cumvent It, successfully.

MENTION OF SOME
MEN OF THE HOUR
MR.
DUNNING IS OOINQ BACK
TO WHITE HAVEN.
Ho Taught School There Beforo Ho
Adopted Civil Engineering ns His
1'rofosslon A. J. Duffy Is to Bo
Located at Lako Ariel Again This
Summer Emil Bonn's Friends
Want Him to Bo a Candidate for
Hecordor of Deeds W. Or. CMal
ley's Career.
Ex-County Surveyor Dunning, who
many years ago, before ho ndopted
civil engineering as his profession, had
charge of tho Whlto Haven high school
and also dabbled somewhat In news
paper work, down there, is going back
to establish a flro fighting plant for
the pretty llttlo village perched high
on the hills overlooking the Lehigh
river. Mr. Dunning has never lost
Interest in Whlto Haven nnd when tho
fathers of tho town explained to him
the serious predicament they wero In
with reference to getting a sufficient
water force to fight fires with, re Bat
down and devoted much deep and earn
est though to tho problem.
Tho result Is that White Haven will
havo a fire fighting plant that will bo
an innovation and a money saver and
one that is sure to bo a model for
many similar plants In various parts
of the country where municipalities
aro confronted with Just tho kind of a
problem which perplexed tho people
of the llttlo mountain town.
There has been a vast change In
Whlto Haven since Mr. Dunning
taught the young Idea how to shoot
there. Then It was a place of much
Importance In tho lumber world and
its busy saw mills annually cut up
thousands of logs that camo down tho
Lehigh river with the spring Hoods.
As tho timber along the Lehigh disap
peared Whlto Haven's saw mills grad
ually shut down, but other Industries
came to take their place and keep the
town on tho map.
A, J, Duffy, who for several seasons
has boon treasurer nt the Lyceum,
will again this season represent the
Lake Ariel Improvement company at
Tho Pines, Lake Ariel. Last season
he made hundreds of friends among
those who visit tho lake and It will
be a pleasure to them to know that
ho will be at tho Pines again this sea
son. He Is by nature peculiarly gifted
to fill a position that brings him Into
direct contact with all kinds and con
ditions of people. Possessed of a
sunny disposition, unfailing good nat
ure and an abundance of tact he
succeeds In making friends where most
men would win enemies and stir up
nil kinds of bother.
Mr. Duffy wins his victories by force
of example. He Is at all times the
personification ot gentleness and kind
ness and if those with whom he comes
In contact forget the common cour
tesies that one person owes to another
he docs not allow himself to do so.
With tho patrons of the Lyceum he Is
nn immense favorite. During the
busy season at the house Just closed,
he handled almost all the pasteboards
and gave the greatest satisfaction to
those who hnd business dealings with
the theater. With theatrical people
he is quite as popular as with the
patrons of the Lyceum.
Until Bonn, tho deputy clerk of the
courts, Is a young man who Is de
stined to bo heard from In the future.
Since he attained his majority he has
taken a very active Interest In politics
and In South Scranton, where he re
sides, he has a large and enthusiastic
following. In eveiy campaign ot the
last five years he has demonstrated
his shrewdness and energy nnd tho big
Republican vote that has been rolled
up In tho Eleventh and Nineteenth
wards in the several elections have
been duo In a largo measure to the
earnest work of young Republicans,
of whom Mr. Bonn Is a recognized
leader.
Two yrais ago his friends urged htm
to be a candidate for register ot wills,
but Mr. Bonn declined to enter the
lists. They are mentioning him now
as their choice for recorder of deeds
a year from this fall and say they
will not accept a refusal this time.
If Mr. Bonn decides to become a can
didate for the Republican nomination
for recorder he will make It Interest
ing for the others who seek that nom
ination. Ills nomination would bo
equivalent to an election.
During tho -years Mr. Bonn has been
a deputy In the office of clerk of the
courts under John II. Thomas and the
present Incumbent, Thomas P. Daniels,
he has made a legion of friends by his
unfailing courtesy and always active
desire to place himself at the service
of those who have business to transact
In that office. They will be pleased to
have an opportunity to cast a ballot
for him.

and after a time Mr, O'Mallcy demon
strated that ho had new and sound
Ideas about problems ot mechanics.
After Mulshing his period of appren
ticeship ho went west, where ho was
for a time nssoclntcd with J. W. Fltz
glbbon, now superintendent of motive
power for tho Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company.
After Bpendlng several years In the
west, whero ho gained much valuable
experience nnd earned for himself tho
reputation of being nn exceptionally
flno machinist, ho returned to Scran
ton, Ills ability was quickly recog
nized and he was made master ma
chinist at tho south mill. Ho has
held that position ever since. Tho
high esteem in which he Is held by
his neighbors Is demonstrated by the
fact that ho has frequently been hon
ored by them In a political way. Ho
served for a tlmo as a member of tho
board of school control from tho
Twelfth ward and Is now a member
of tho board of health, having been
appointed by ex-Mayor Bailey.

THE ALUM BAKING POWDERS.
Names of Somo of the Principal
Brands Sold in This Vicinity.
The recent discussion in the papers
of the effect upon the human system
of food mado with alum baking pow
ders and the opinions that have been
published from noted scientists to the
effect that such powders render the
food unwholesome, leading to grave dis
orders of the stomach, liver and heart,
have caused numerous Inquiries for the
names of the various alum powders.
In Ohio, New Jersey, Minnesota and
Wisconsin of such importance do the
food authorities deem tho matter that
the names of tho alum powders are
officially made public, and tho legisla
tures of tho latter two states have pro
vided that there shall be printed upon
the labels of all packages of this class
of powders the statement that they
contain alum.
Information as to the list here given
has been obtained fiom the olllclal re
ports of the Ohio and New Jersey Food
Commissions, from the Agricultural
Department chemist at Washington,
and from other equally reliable author
ity: Baking Powders Containing Alum:
DAVIS' O. K 'Contains Alum.
R. Ii. Davis & Co., New York.
CROWN Contains Alum.
J. P. Dieter Co., Chicago.
LESLIE'S Contains Alum.
Tho A. Colburn Co., Philadelphia.
GRAND UNION Contains Alum.
Grand Union Tea Co . New- York.
A. & P Contains Alum.
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co., New
York.
In addition to those, It Is learned that
many grocers are selling what they call
their own private or special brands.
These powders aie put up for the
grocer, and his name put upon the
labels by manufacturers of alum pow
ders In Philadelphia, Pittsburg, New
York, and elsewhere. The manufac
turers, It Is said, find their efforts to
market their goods In this way greatly
aided by the ambition of the grocer to
sell a powder with his own name upon
the label, especially as he can make an
abnormal profit upon It. Many giocers,
doubtless, do not know that the pow
ders they aie thus pushing contain
alum and would be actually contwi
band In many sections If sold without
disguise.
It Is quite Impossible to give the
names of all the alum baking powders
In the market. They are constantly
appearing In all sorts of disguises,
under all kinds of cognomens, and at
all kinds of prices, even as low as five
nnd ten cents a pound. They can be
avoided, however, by the housekeeper
who will bear In mind that all baking
powders sold at twenty-five cents or
less per pound are liable to contain
alum, as pure cream of tartar powders
cannot be produced at anything like
this price.
TWO IMPORTANT MEASURES.
Will Be Passed Upon by Common
Council Tonight.
Common council will meet tonight to
pass tho asphalt repair appropriation
ordinance on final reading and the
Scranton Telephone ordinance on third
reading. Both are likely to go through
without opposition.
The Central Pennsylvania Telephone
people declare that they are not In
teresting themselves In ono way or the
other In the new ordinance and there
Is every Indication that this Is a cor
rect statement. Tho fart that they
have been able to twice defeat tho
Lackawanna company's effort to se
em o a franchise, coupled with tho fur
ther fact that there was not a slnglo
vote recorded against tho Scranton
company's franchise last Thursday, Is
the strongest indication bearing out
the abovo declaration.

SCRANTON MAN SHOT
FOR A FOOTPAD
JAMES HOWARD KILLED NEAR
ALLENTOWN.
Ho and Six Companions Roturnlng
from n Picnic Hold Up a Boy to
Scare nim nnd Aro Fired Upon.
Tho Bullet Struck Howard and He
Died Almost Instantly Place
Where tho Tragic Lark Occurred
Was the Scene of Several' Recent
Hold-Ups.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Allentown, Va.., May 28. James How
ard, of Scranton, was shot and almost
Instantly killed near midnight last
night on tho bridge spanning tho Le
high river between Ccmonton and
Siegfrieds. Tho fatal shot was fired
by Preston Evcrltt, aged eighteen, who
mistook Howard for a footpad.
Howard was employed on tho now
addition being erected nt the cement
mills. His brother and a number of
others formed a picnic party yesterday
In tho grove south of tho bridge. A
rain storm about 11 o'clock last night
drove tho party to the covered bridge
for shelter. This point is a dangerous
one, a number of peoplo having been
held up there, some of them In broad
day light.
Tho men had.a quarrel among them
selves and when Everltt camo driving
along tho shot was fired. It was at
first believed that ono ot tho party
llred tho shot, but later It developed
that the shot came from tho occupant
of a carriage.
EVERITT CONFESSES.
Tho authorities wero notified and
Coroner Yost and Sergeant Haines re
sponded. The coroner learned that
Everltt had said this morning that ho
was attacked last night. The coroner
sent for him, and, suspecting Everltt
had fired tho shot, said: "You know
you killed this man: you had better
confess all."
At first Evcrltt denied It, but later
confessed he had dono tho shooting.
He said that when he drove on the
bridge ho saw the crowd on the Cemen
ton end, and, knowing of tho recent
holdups, had a revolver In the buggy.
When he got to tho crowd he said he
saw four men at the rear of the buggy,
two In front nnd one about to grab the
reins. Thinking they wero footpads, he
fired. He did not know he had killed
anyone until 9 o'clock this morning.
Everltt was brought to Allentown and
Is In the custody of Sergeant Haines.
An effort will be made tomorrow for a
habeas corpus hearing. Everltt bears
a good reputation, and general senti
ment Is that he merely fired the shot
to frighten the men, whom he supposed
wero footpads. Howard's father has
been notified.
LIVED ON CEDAR AVENUE.
Howard Is a son of Michael Howard,
of 1518 Cedar avenue. Ho and his
brother Edward went to Allentown
three months ago to work on the ad
dition being made to the Lawrence
cement mill. Word of the tragedy was
received from Edward yesterday morn
ing, but none of the particulars were
given.
The remains will be brought here for
Interment. It Is expected they will ar
rive this morning.
ATTACKING THE CLAIMS.
L . nn Township Hearing Has
Been Reopened.
Commissioner John P. Qulnnan re
opened the hearing In the Lackawanna
township Indebtedness matter Saturday
to take testimony from the opponents
of the claims.
Attorney M. J. Donahoe, the town
ship solicitor, nnd Hon. C. P O'Malley,
of Wlllard, WaVren & Knapp, who rep
resent the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company and other large tax
payers, apepared ngalmt 'ne claims.
Attorney T. P. Hoban wai present to
protect them.
The attack was begun by putting on
record the contention that all of the
