SHAKESPEAREAN RECITAL.
Interesting Reading at Parish House
by Marshall Darrach.
Marshall Darrach, tho well known
Shakespearean reader, delighted an
enthusiastic audience at St. Luke's
Parish house last night br his reci
tal of various scenes from "The
Twelfth Night." Mr. Darrach has ap
peared in tho city on previous occa
sions, but he never appeared to bet
ter advantage than he did last night.
His rich, sympathetic voice was used
to the best advantage throughout tho
recital, and whether Mr. Darrach was
slniultatlng the soft, insidious jnur
murings of the Infatuated Lady Olivia,
or giowling deep basso remarks, ac
credited to the foolish Malvollo, he
was equallj- at ease.
He did especially well In the scone
between Viola and Malvollo, when the
latter delivers Olivia's message to Vio
la, whom the former supposes to bo
the page of her heart-sick lover, h".
Duke, in which guise she is indoed
masquerading.
Mr. Darrach gives his reclial with
out any attempt at make-up, and while
one would not naturally suppose tint
a white full dress vest and chrysan
themum bouttonlere would be the most
apropos of costumes In which to por
tray tho roles of silken clad gallants
of yegood olden time, still it is no
small tribute to tho entertainer of
last night to say that tho audience
was so enwrapped in his readings that
nil minor details of costume were ut
terly Ignored and In Imagination the
courtly plumes nnd powdered hair of
the Shakespearean daj-s could bo seen
upon the stage.
EXCELLENT BOWLING MATCH.
Newly Organized Commercials Defeat
the Elks Team.
The crack Elks bowling team was
last night defeated by the latest locally
organized aggregation of rollers, who
go under the name of the Commercials.
The three games bowled were splendid
ones. Ritchie, of the Commercials, was
high man with 200, and Rartl, of the
Elks, had tho 'highest average score,
1S7 2-3. Tho scores follow:

MRS. GOULD
WIELDED LASH
M. J. O'TOOLE, OF SORANTONIAN,
HORSEWHIPPED.
Mrs. 'Gould, Formerly Miss Edith
Woodling, Took Exception to an
Article in Sunday's Scrnntonian
Which She Says Was Slanderous.
The Lashing Took Place Yesterday
Morning on Washington Avenue.
Lhrge Number of Persons Wit
nessed the Encounter.
Michael J. O'Toole, of tho Scranton
ian, yesterday morning received a
home-whipping from Mrs. Edith Gould,
as the result of an at tide which ap
peared In the last lssu.2 of the Heran
tonlan and to which Mrs. Gould de
clares was a direct blow at her honor
and good name.
Mrs. Gould was formerly Miss Edith
Woodling, of C19 Gibson street. Four
years ago she married, and In a vear
was a widow. A week ago last Satur
day the young widow avbs married to
Koyal Gould, a member of the Mac-atiley-Patton
Dramatic company. Con
cerning this marrlnge was written the
article which aroused Mrs. Gould's Ire
and resulted In tho castlgatlon of
O'Toole.
According to Mrs. Gould's story, she
called at the Scrantonlnn office Mon
day morning for the purpose of dis
covering who was the author of tho
article, had a short talk with O'Toole,
In which she bid her real feelings In
the matter cleverly, nndi arranged for
a further Interview with him later In
the day. He did not appear at this or
In the evening, despite two messaces
she sent, and about 9 o'clock yesterday
morning Mrs. Gould took her stand
near the entrance to the Republican
building, and "lay" for O'Toole, flist
taking the precaution of having v In
readiness a carriage in which to beat
a hasty retreat.
O'TOOLE APPEARED.
At last her victim appeared. And
then the numerous loungers about the
immediate vicinity were treated to
jonio excitement. After a momentary
parley between O'Toole and Mrs.
Gould, the latter suddenly flashed
forth a short, rawhide riding whip
front beneath her coat. With a reso
lute swing of her arm she brought It
down on O'Toole's shoulders and fol
lowed it up with i rain of blows. The
Scrnntonian representative ducked, and
then bent a retreat into the Repub
lican hallway, at which Mrs. Gould en
tered her cab and drove away.
She was seen at he." home by a
Tribune man last evening, and 'even
then had not entirely recovered from
her Indignation nt what she termed
"the attack upon her honor." Mrs.
Gould is a slender, delicate young wo
man, of a pronounced blonde type. She
is possessed of a dainty girlish figure
that gives no Indication of the courage
she undoubtedly possesses.
"This Is onlj a sample," she re
marked determinedly, "of what every
one is going to get who makes any at
tacks on my reputation. As soon as
I rend that article In the Scrantonian
I was resolved to punish O'Toole for
the horridly libellous article he wrote.
" didn't want to in any way malm
or cripple him, and took care when I
struck him not to gouge his eye, but T
did wish to cut his face open. I called
at the Scrantonian olllco Monday morn
ing to learn the Identity of tho man
who wrote that article, and in my
;alk with O'Toole, I think I managed
pretty well to keep my true feelings
to mj-self.
"After falling to secure nnother In
terview with him, I resolved to fol
low the course which I did pursue. I
concealed the whip on my person, and
before meeting O'Toole I took the pre
caution of telling the men in Weber's
baibor shop what my Intentions were
and in forming them that I relied on
their aid in case he struck me.
"As I lashed O'Toole, he tried to
iun away and dove into the ballwaj
of the Republican building, saying,
'Come In here.' I followed him to the
entrance and there struck a last blow,
hitting him on the hand.
SITE MAKES DENIAL.
"He now claims that he was to have
met me to give me some Information
regarding a stage employe who knew
various facts regarding my husband's
past life, and certain divorce papers
of a former marriage. It II want any
facts about my huband's lift, I'd go
to other sources than tho Scrantonian
office."
Mrs. Gould was Inclined to be a bit
jocular over part of O'Toole's article,
In which bV devoted considerable
space to her pet lap-dog. "Tho Idea,"
she dpclared, "of dragging tho poor
dog Into print," and she affectionately
patted tho head of a fine-looking col
lie. She declnred that she will mete out
tho same punishment to any other de
tractors of her fair name, but laugh
ingly supplemented the remark by
saying that she did not anticipate any
more trouble. The whip will bo re
tained as a souvenir, and If necessary
may bo used as an Instuimont of cas
tigatlon to the collie and a big bull
dog, which Is another of Mrs, Gould's
pets.
O'Toole gives as his side of the story
that tho Interview took placo In the
Republican hallway, and that ho was
only struck ono blow, whereat ho
grasped the whip from his fair ussall
ant's hand.

LAST GAME OF SEASON.
Wllkes-Barre Will Play Scranton
High School Saturday,
Though Scranton has been favorjd
with n fine schedule of foot ball
games, the two local teams have not
had the support due them for keep
ing nllvo the Interest In the gain?.
Now that the end of the season Is nt
hand, these teams realize that the
townspeople do not appreciate their ef
forts, and ns a result, unless a large
attendance swells the receipts for the
last two games and thus make It pos
slide for the expenses to be paid, them
will be no games here next yenr.
Scranton High School team's lait
game In tho city will be with Wllkes
Rarer High School next Saturday.
They defeated the Luzerne county
tenm a few weeks ago and mean to
again do so. The contest will be a
fine one.
D0ESN0TPAVORA
TAXPAYER'S LEAGUE
Board of Trade Committee Says No
Action Should Be Tnken Until
City Enters the Second Class.
Some few months ago ex-President
John M. Kemmcrer, of tho board of
trade, submitted for the consideration
of that body a plan for the organiza
tion of a Taxpayers' league to prevent,
If possible, the alleged careless manner
of expending public money which, It Is
said, prevails in this city nt the pres
ent time.
The matter was referred to the com
mittee on legislation and taxes, by
whloh body It was carefully considered.
A report wns to have been made at
Monday night's meeting, but as Chair
'man Torrey was unable to bo present
it did not reach Secretary Atherton's
bands until yesterdaj. The report is
as follows:
The committee on lesUlallon and taves begs
leao to report:
The committee met upon Ft May, the ICth Inst.,
and inter alia caietully eomldcred the nut
ters lefined (o In the occonipnnjlng tommiini
tation from J. M. Kiimucier.
Tho committee made an unsuccessful elfoit to
secure the attendance of Jlr. Kemmerrr in order
that he might hae oppoitiinily lo present the
mallei' under ronsiilctiitlon himself. He, how
ever, was unable (o attend, but telephoned to
the seiietaiy that in Ills opinion in tin" present
tiansition state of the city fiom the third lo th
fii'iond ilass it might be well to defer action.
The communications iclated to the Rcnerally
held opinion that there is a treat amount nf
recklessness and wastefulness, to use no husher
term, in Hie administration of the Amines ol
the municipal rorpoiatlons which rolled tacs
in the city, and it was snsKcsted tint an or
ganization or league be formed to I.eep the
taxpayers informed, and to take such steps as
might be practicable to cheek extravagant r.
Your committee, agieciug with Jlr. Kenuuerer's
liteit statement, advise that any action upon
bis lommunication be postponed for the piesent,
at least, until the city shall have been reof
ganired under the new classification.
Your committee further lakes occasion to call
the attention of the boaid to the fact that the
Jlunieipil league is pulling forth most strenuous
eftorls to eradicate some of the w'oist cils
which have grown up in the body politic, and
it lecommends that the memheis of the boaid,
by their influence and peisonal ellorts and
finaneial contributions place themselves squoiely
-.slue the Jfunlclpal league and encourage and
further In etory way within their power, the
work which that league is now doing.
Respectfully submitted,
.las. II. Torrey, Cliaiunan.
While the committee reports that it
would bo advisable to postpone action
on this matter until the cltj enters
the second class, It Is generally un
derstood that the real reason for not
favoring the plan Is because the Muni
cipal L?aguo has already mapped out
a course of action to be pursued In
cleaning up tho alleged rottenness of
munlclpnl conditions In this city and
the members of the committee be
lieved that the formation of any simi
lar organization would have the effect
of interfering with the work of the
league.
LANKY BOB HAS NOT
GIVEN UP THE RING
Fitzsimmons Declares That He Will
Meet All Comers nt End of the
Present Theatrical Season.
Robert Fitzsimmons, tho conqueror of
Ruhlin nnd Sharkey, the blaeksmlth-puglllst-actor,
was In the city yester
day and last night at the Lyceum the
atre demonstrated to a large audience
that as a Thespian he is Just as much
at home as when prancing about In the
ring.
"The Honest Blacksmith" was the
title of the vehicle in which Robert ex
ploited his histrionic powers, and Is re
viewed In another column.
FItz looks to be In grand condition,
and Is tho same hale, heartj- old Bob
as of yore. He was Interviewed by a
Tribune man at the Hotel Jermyn bil
liard parlors, where be wns Indulging
In a friendly little game. The first Im
pression one gets of Fitzsimmons is tho
spectacle of a, pair of tremendous
shoulders with a little head rising from
between them. .
Tho big Cornlshman weighs 170
pounds, and his llcsh has a healthy,
wholesome color, which shows that ho
Is taking good care of himself. He de
clares that lie has not relinquished all
thoughts of tho ring, and when he has
completed his theatrical engagement
will be willing to meet all comers,
"I can't do any lighting for a good
While yet," he remarked. "I am doing
a flno business on the road, nnd I really
do not see any use In giving It no,
Jeffries Is playing a game of pure bluff.
"After I whipped Sharkey, I accepted
tho challenge which Billy Brady mado
for Jeffries, but the latter then backed
out of it, seeing how easily I had dis
posed of the sailor,
"Ho dunked then, and since that time
has been bothering tho life out of mo
with his bluff challenges. I'll prqbably
fight again, and once that I'm In the
ring, 1 will bo willing to take on any
of them. At present, I'm perfectly con
tent as It Is. This acting business Isn't
new to me, as I have had eleven years'
experience of It."
Fitzsimmons was asked what he
thought about Jeffries' move in taking
on both Ruhlin nnd Sharkey. He re
plied rather languidly and accenting
tho "eyether:" "I think that he ought
to have his hands full, and eyether of
tho lights should prove a warm one,
seeing that ho has already fought
draws with each of the men,"
' Fitzsimmons Is accompanied by his
wire and son Robert, both of whom
take part In his play, Yesterday morn
ing he visited W, II. Sexton's black
smith shop in Oakford court. There he
removed his coat, took off his big dia
mond ling, and struck off a number of
horseshoes, which s ono of his pet
pastimes.

MANY WAYWARD
YOUNG GIRLS
STARTLING CONDITION OF AF
FAIRS REVEALED.
At the Meeting of the Associated
Charities Mrs. Duggan Reported
Having Arrested Fourteen Girls
Under 16 Years Old Who Have
Been Leading Immoral Lives She
Says Dance Halls Are Largely to
Blame Col. Ripple Deplored Slight
Interest Taken in Board's Work.
There has Just been started In tho
great city of Now York a mighty
movement which has for Its object tho
repression of certain existing forms ot
vice, which have for some time past
been a menace to the morals of young
women, and from certain things which
enmo to tho surface at last ''night's
meeting of the Board of Associated
Charities, It would appear that some
such movement Is needed very badly In
this city.
Mrs. Duggan, the society's agent, In
making her monthly report, stated that
since the last meeting cC the board she
had hnd occasion to arrest no less than
fourteen young girls, nil under sixteen
years of age, who were leading Im
moral lives, several of them having
been found In houses ot Ill-repute In
this city.
She explained that she has power to
arrest these girls, under an act ot as
sembly passed In 1833, and stated that
those she took Into custody were all
committed to various Institutions, such
as the House of the Good Shepherd
and the Florence Crittenden mission,
The alarming thing, however, wns
her statement that never since she has
tnken up her present work has then
been such a large number of younc
girls in this city leading dissolute lives.
Young girls she called them, but as the
ones she referred to are under sixteen
years old. It would perhaps be more
appropriate to call them children.
CHEAP DANCE HALLS.
"Probably the greatest source of
'cniptatlon," said she, "Is thy number
of cheap dance halls now open In this
city. I believe that these are respon
sible for the ruining of young wo
men's lives more than anything else."
She expressed the opinion that In
many of the houses of III repute lu
his city at the present time there
are girls under 10 years of age.
Those members of the board who
vere present were especially intcres:"l
Mid affected by Mrs. Duggan's re
marks, and they were the subject
of much discussion. Colonel Ripple
ihought that the situation demanded
the assignment of a special police olll
cer to visit all disreputable resorts
and remove therefrom any girl under
the age of 18.
'"I'he mothers are largely to blame,
'oo " said he. "There are too in my
( f them who are careless of their
daughter's welfare and who make no
effort to keep them from the evil aur
toundlngs which exist in every clt of
ihe size of Scranton. This organU.i
tior Is doing what it can, but is nnt
lecelvlng the support it should frjm
tne citizens of this city. It's a stv:t
pity and a shame to our civilization
that a greater interest Is not taken In
the work which the board of assoei.it
"d v'harities Is doing."
Ttio fact that the public takes Ilttio
or no Interest In the excellent work bc
.'ng dally accomplished by the board
may be easily ascertained by a glanre
at Treasurer Kelly's report. He re
norted that there is at present a bal
ance of only 144.35 In the treasury and
that Mrs. Duggan has not been paid
for the months of October and No
vember owing to the lack of funds.
HAVE NOT PAID.
He further reported that manv of
those who have pledged certain
amounts have not kept their pledges,
and that despite the fact that he has
written letters to many of these, thov
have not made anj- attempt to contrib
ute anything. This was a vcrj- dis
couraging report, but Rev. Dr. Rogers
Israel, the secretary, and Colonel
Ripple, the president, were not dis
heartened and announced that they
would make an active canvass among
the business men of the city next week
with the view In mind ot replenishing
the depleted treasury.
Mrs. Duggan reported that she had
been subpoenaed to appear as a wit
ness In it divorce case and in a damage
suit, and that she bad been requested
to bring the records of the board Into
court. A resolution wns unanimously
ndopted announcing that ns the records
of the board were of a piivatd charac
ter, thoy would not be given out In the
future except by order of court or with
the consent of tho board assembled.
Mrs. Duggan's report for the month,
between October 17 and November 20,
was as follows: Applications for relief,
11G: cases investigated, 72; advice and
direction given, 43; found worthy and
aided, D5; found unworthy, 17; employ
ment found for, 9; medical aid fur
