THE KINDERGARTEN QUESTION.
It Will Soon Be Discussed by the
School Board.
The kindergarten committee of the
board of control held a meeting last
night to consider the advisability of
asking for an appropriation for this
branch of school work for the coming
year. No dellnlte nctlon was taken
and It was decided to allow the board
to discuss the question when the bud
get is presented.
While some of the members are not
in favor of spending any money on
kindergartens, there are others who
think that the board should take no
backward step in this direction, but
should at least support the kinder
gartens already established, If It does
not decide to establish any new ones.

EVERYBODY
CONFERENCE DELEGATES.
There Is a Strong Sentiment Here In
Favor o G. P. Reynolds.
The Methodists In this portion of the
Wyoming confere'neo nro becoming
somewhat excited over the prospective
election of delegates to "tho general
conference In Chicago, which will bp
held during the month of May. The
Wyoming conference Is allowed two lay
delegates, who are to be elected at tho
annual conference to be held in Owogo,
N. V April 18-24. At that time throe
provisional delegates will also bo
chosen, and as It Is probable that the
question of equal lay representation
may bo decided In tho afllrmatlvo at
the general conference, tho number
seated will likely bo five.
At present, however, the question of
the moment Is the election of one dele
gate from this region, the other being
belected from tho upper portion, of the
conference. Wllkcs-Ilarro has had the
honor of being thus represented for
some time, and It was understood four
years ngo that Scranton should have
tho delegate on this occasion. Oy F.
Iloynolds, of Klin Park church, has
been urged by tho Methodists of Scran
ton as a candidate, and It was sup
posed that no opposition would he
raised to his unanimous election, but
suddenly It Is announced thnt George
K. Powell, of Wllkes-Uarre, desires to
go to the general conference, and con
sequently tho Methodists of this part
of the Wyoming district feel that the
promises made at tho last quadrennial
conference should be sustnlned, and
they arc disposed to forward the Inter
ests of Mr. Reynolds to the exclusion
of tho Wilkes-Barre man.
Mr. Reynolds has been for twenty
seven years superintendent or teacher
In the Sunday schools of Elm Park and
Adams avenue churches. For twenty
five years he has been a member of the
odlclal board. He is one of tho most
faithful and clllclent workers in the
church, nnd It Is felt by a large num
ber of Methodists that he would be a
most worthy representative of this con
ference. It Is understood that Mr. Powell Is
not a member of the odlclal board of
his church, as was George Bennett, his
predecessor.
Each quarterly conferenoo elects a
delegate to the annual conference, who
sits In convention on April 20 to vote
for a delegate to the general confei
ence. It would seem that Elm Park
church, the moSl powerful and pro
gressive in tile Wyoming conference,
and that particularly Scranton, so
strong in Methodist churches, should
bo represented at Chicago. The minis
terial delegate from this city will prob
ably be Rev. J. B. Sweet, the present
secretnry of the conference. Others,
who by reason of their odlclal positions
will likely be sent, are Rev. Dr. M. S.
Hard and Presiding Elder Austin Grlf
fin. GALLEN'S NEW STORES.

BOSCO, THE SNAKE
EATER, BANISHED
HIS, MANAGED, ARRESTED AT
INSTANCE OF MRS. DUGGAN.
At a Hearing Before Aldormnn Mil
lar tho Case Was Dismissed Upon
tho Payment of the Costs by Man
ager Loeb nnd His Promise to
Leave the City at Once with Bosco.
The Latter Describes the Manner
in Which the Fake Was Con
ducted. "Bosco," the Australian snake-eater,
will no longer exhibit his powers to the
public gaze; "Bosco" will ncjlongcr Idly
tov with three-foot rattlesnakes and
caressingly fondle them, for "Bosco,"
together with his enterprising manager,
H. W. Loeb, was hist night arrested at
the instance of Mrs. W. B. Duggau,
agent for the Associated Charities. The
twnln were arraigned before Alderman
Millar, on the charge of giving an in
decent Dertormance, and were dis
charged after paying tho costs, with
the proviso that they Immediately close
their show and leave the city.
The show was opened last week on
Lackawanna avenue. The performance
consisted in the spectacle of a creature,
referred to by the lecturer as "Bosoo,"
grovelling in n pen full of snakes, and
every now and then biting the head oft
a reptile and chewing the llesh.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Duggan was
visited by a certain lady, who brought
along with her her young son. The boy
had visited the "Bosco" show and came
homo violently ill as a result.
MANAGER LOEB ARRESTED.
Last evening Mrs. Duggan swore out
a warrant for the arrest of Loeb and
Constable Thomas made the arrest and
brought him to Alderman Millar's
office. Attorney T. P. Duffy conducted
the prosecution and testimony was
given by A. B. Dunning, a member of
tho Board of Associated Charities, and
Constable Malcolm Byers, of Alderman
Millar's court. Mr. Dunning told how
he had visited the plnce, how men, wo
men and young children were present,
and tho exhibition given wa3 a revolt
ing and disgusting one. Constable By
ers declared that he had seen Loeb
striking "Bosco" with ;i whip and
otherwise abusing him.
Loeb claimed that he was Ignorant
of the fact that he was doing any
wrong by conducting the exhibition
and stated his willingness to Immedi
ately leave tho city. Mrs. Duggan then
asked the alderman to have "Bosco"
brought to tho otllce, In order to see
whether he was a rational being or Im
becile, and, as such, Irresponsible for
his actions.
"Oh. he's no Imbecile," interrupted
Loeb, with a lav h, "he's a young
man In his senses and a bright one at
that."
Constable Thomas left the odlco and
going to the place of tho exhibition
arrested the Australian fnnke-eater.
About ten minutes later a mob of
about two bundled people crowded Into
Alderman Millar's office and blocked
up the hall.
HAD TO CARRY HIM.
"Eoseo," according to the lecturer,
was supposed to be unable to walk,
talk or do 'anything but eat snakes,
smoke cigarettes and do other Idiotic
things. Therefore of course "Bosco"
could not walk to the odlee and two
stalwart youths carrkd the reptile de
vastator all tho way ftom the exhibi
tion place to the odlco. They carried
him upstairs and deposited him on a
lounge, where the snake-eater lay gaz
ing around with an Imbecile-like ex
pression. Loeb, however, appiouched and on
sadly remaiklng "The game Is up Bos
co," tho lattfr Individual rose, and
drawing back his hood revealed a keen,
boyiBh face, nnd remarked "Glad to
meet you, ladles and gc-ntlemen."
On examination he then gave his
name as James Benson, and said he
was born in n small town near Wil
liamspcrt. He furthermore declared
that he was a graduate of a high
school and his general conversation in
fact showed that he was possessed of
considerable schooling, and was far
from th giovelllng, whining creature
under the lash of un lion taskmaster,
wnlch one of tho afternoon papers tried
to make him out.
In speaking of his peiformance lie
lemaiked "The reople. who saw the
show simply suffer from an optical Il
lusion. They saw me, or rather
thought they saw me. do what they
wanted to see and went away content.
I certainly am not devoteel to th3 oc
cupation, but theie are worse things.
The snakes used have had their fangs
oti acted, but they occasionally lilt
ine, anyway." To eubf.tantlate which
statement "Bosen" raised his sleeve
and showed his wrist dotted with sev
eral small tcais.
MANAGER'S STATEMENT.
Loeb said, conceinlng the exhibition.
"At the performance I always pay, 'As
Bosco, this creature eats nothing bu:
snakes and bananas, and neither walks
nor talks. I didn't say anything
about, what he doi'B as James Benson.
This talk about my b-.-utlng him makes
me laugh. I do hit him occasionally,
and he smashes me, Jt-bt as often, but
It Is all in the show."
' Bosco" and his attendants depart
from tho city, taking with them a
small-sized mint of Scranton coin,
which Is partly the result of tho grat
uitous advertising which has been giv
en them.

TO INCREASE SIZE.
OF TAYLOR BOROUGH
ANNEXATION SCHEME THAT IS
NOW UNDER WAY.
On May 5 an Application Will Be
Made to the Court of Quarter Ses
sions to Add to Taylor Borough
tho Territory That Was to Be In
cluded in tho Borough of Pyne If
Successful tho Movement Will Be
Followed by Important Results.
The Territory Wanted.
On May 5 an application will be
made to the court of quarter sessions
by Attorney John M. Harris for the
annexation to the borough of Taylor of
'about 1,000 acres of land to tho north
and west of the borough, Including
about all of the territory that It was
deshed some time ago to erect Into
the borough of Pyne. This territory
Is now in Lackawanna township and
If the annexation proceedings meet
with tho approval of the court the
only portion of Lackawanna township
that will remain west of the river will
be Lincoln Heights and the Round
Woods. These nro not Included In the
annexation Bcheme, because the peo
ple living there desire to become a part
of the city of Scranton.
The annexation proposition will be
fought with much vigor by Lacka
wanna township, because It will de
prl'e It of some of Its richest taxable
property. In the territory It Is pro
posed to take from nnd add to Tay
lor are located the Archbald, Sloan,
Pyne, Hampton and Continental col
lieries of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and. Western company, which pay a
large portion of the taxes of the town
ship. If the annexation scheme prevails It
will be soon followed by other Import
ant changes. The people of Lincoln
Park and the Rounds Woods will nt
once knock at the doors of the city for
admission, as they will be entliely di
vorced from the remainder of the town
ship, a portion of Taylor borough and
the city Intervening. There Is already
n strong annexation sentiment there.
That will leave the village of Ml
nooka as practically all that will be
left of the once grent township of
Lackawanna. It will seek admission
to the city In nil probability and if
that boon Is denied will then seek to
uc Incorporated as a borough and get
its public Improvements In such con
dition as to warrant It In fulfilling Its
manifest destiny of becoming a part of
tho city.
