THE OPERA CAKNIVAL.
Theater Can Be Secuied for but One
Night.
The prograinmo for tho opeia car
nival, notwithstanding the fact that
it Includes selections from four operas
with an aria from a Jlfth, besides spe
cial features, will not consume more
than one hour and u nuartur at the
uxtreinu limit. Mrs. Dixie has taken
lulinlte trouble to choose only the most
taking poitlons of the various operas,
has cut the orchestration and s.i
planned all arrangements that not a
moment of waste time is spent. Tlw
result la perhaps tho most unique en
tertainment over given In this city,
and a programme of such superb char
acter that It Is no wonder the demand
for tickets Is growing inoro and morn
urgent. ,
It Is most unrortiinato that the Ly
ceum can not be secured for more than
the single evening, as tickets could bs
sold to till another house at the best
rates, As it Is, there aro still tickets
for the matinee, and as the perform
ance will bo every bit us hue as thu
one which is to follow, the llrst twu
rows In the upper gallery will be re
served for fjf,ty cents. The diagram
will open Friday morning for ticket
holders, Only Mx saats can be secured
by each ticket holder. No checks will
bo given.

MADAME ZEN0
UNDER ARREST
CHARGED WITH TELMNG FOR
TUNES, CONTRARY TO LAW.
At the Central Police Station She
Thought to Excite Sympathy by
Feigning Illness, but by ft Strange
Coincidence the Physician Called
to Attend Her Was the One Who'
Treated Her Under Similar Cir
cumstances in Rochester, N. Y.,
Some Time Ago.
Mayor Molr Is now after the flock
of fortune tellers and other similar
fakirs who have been fooling tin,- gul
lible people of this city fo.' tho past
month or so nnd ho Is determined to
rid the city or them.
Warrants were Issued yesterday for
the arrest of several of these people,
but only one was taken Into ciiHtod.
This was Madame 52eno, who conduct
ed a fortune-telling establishment on
the second lloor of a boarding house at
the coiner of Franklin avenuo nnd
Sjiluco street.
Several of the mayor's private
sleuths, who have done such excellent
work In tho speakeasy crusade, jour
neyed to the Madame's quartern last
weei and had their fortunes toiu.
They listened open-mouthed to her
predictions nnd appeared to bo the
most gullible nf the gullible. As Ma
dame pocketed their iifty-cent pieces
she probably said inwardly to her
self. "Oli, but these are easy."
The woman was arrested yesterday
morning by Detective Molr nnd was
immediately arraigned before tin
mayor for a hearing. She was ac
companied by a man who said ho warf
her husband, and who appeared In lieu
of an attorney. lie contended that hts
wife was a "scientific palmist," and
not a common fortune teller.
HAD HIS FORTUNE TOLD.
Tile mayor showed him a hand-bill
which had been circulated advertising
"Madame Zeno, the Fortune Teller,"
and he explained that they didn't
mean to circulate that hand-bill in this
city: Hint it was intended for use in
Atlantic City, etc., etc. The mayor
cut him shoit, however, and called one
of the detectives, who testified to hav
ing had his future predicted by the
woman.
He said she told him that two rela
tives of his would die In four years;
that ho was cut out for n professional
career; thnt be would marry the girl
be loved, and a few other similar
things, all of which have been well
worn out by constant use. The mayor
decided that the evidence was conclu
sive and held the Madame In 3300
ball.
Dining tlie bearing, Madame appear
ed to be on the point of fainting sev
eral times, and seemed to be doing
everything In her power to enlist the
mayor's sympathy. This Wasn't a cir
cumstance, howevfr, to the grand star
scene which she and her husband
enacted in tlie afternoon.
The mayor allowed her to remain for
a time in the court room, under the
eye of the policeman in charge at head
quarters, while her husband was
scouring around for a bondsman. She
stayed there very quietly until just
a few minutes after & o'clock, when
the big star act began.
She was standing looking out the
window when suddenly she gave a
wild, tearful scream and fell to the
floor. P.itrehnan Iloekonberry and
Special Oiiiccr Thompson, who were in
the ad joining room, rushed to her as
sistance. CRIED FOR WATKIt.
She was lying on the lloor nnd her
face was horribly distorted. "Water!
water!" she cried, and while Ofllcer
Hockenberry raised her from the floor,
Thompson ran furiously after -the
water. He mot Janitor Ward on his
way and told him the woman was
dying, Ward rushed upstairs with this
report and Detective Molr went flying
out for a physician.
Tho whole building was in a whirl
wind of excitement, and Madame Zeno
became the center of attraction. She
lay in Patrolman Hockenberry's arms,
Clvlng vent to a series of Inarticulate
cries and punctuating them with con
vulsive gestures. When Thompson re
turned with the water, she grasped the
cup frantically and drank a little, then
dropped it to the floor.
Then she clutched her throat In tho
most approved melodramatic fashion
and gurgled, "I'm dying, I'm dying."
Everyone around believed she was, and
everybody stood breathlessly waiting
for the end.
At this moment, and with a splendid
eye for dramatic effect, the husband
got his cue and entered via the stairs
leading from the llrst floor to the base
ment. He came down these two at a.
time, and there was a deep anxiety In
eveiy line of his face and grief on his
brow.
He throw open the door leading Into
tho court room am1, seeing his wife
moaning In Patrolman Vockonberry's
arms, he threw his umbrella on tho
lloor wllh a wild flourish nnd rushed to
her, crying: "My God, Emma, what's
the matter; what's the matter?" Ho
clasned her lu u fond embrace and,
looking down ut her, said: "Don't you
know me',' Don't you know me?"
DID NOT KNOW HIM.
No, she didn't know him, she cried
wildly, as she clung to Patroimnn
Hockenbeir.v's coat and asked to be
HEADQUARTERS.

allowed to die In peace. "This Is ter
rible, this Is teiilble," said Ihe hus
band, "Give me some water for her;
give me somu wilier." Patrolman
Thompson began to hnve a fear that
there would bo two deaths Instead of
one, and he hastened to calm tho lead
ing man and assure hi in that a physi
cian had boon summoned to attend his
wife, the leading lady.
The physician arrived at this Junc
ture lu tlie person of Dr. Uunuelt, who
gave one look at the ptostrato form of
Madame Zeno and then winked' his
other eye. He bail her carried to one
of tho benches and laid there, while lie
administered a little medicine from IiIh
ense. Madame quieted down thou very
much, In fact, so much that It wasn't
half an hour before she was able to
take a carriage ride with several of the
obliging policemen out Washington
avenue as far as the county jail.
Dr. Bunnell said that there was
nothing whatever the matter with her,
and explained that, by a lemarkable
coincidence, ho had been called a short
llmo ago, to atlend her In Rochester,
under exactly the same circumstances.
She had been nncsted there for the
same offense nnd had sought to obtain
sympathy by feigning tdekness.
She didn't obtain any sympathy yes
terday, however, and all tho strenuous
woik of herself nnd husband was all
In vain, because Mayor Molr absolutely
refused to go back on his ruling, and
Insisted upon keeping her In the county
jail until a competent bondsman was
obtained.
DOESN'T APPEAL TO HIM.
"This sympathy racket does not ap
peal to me," he said to a Tribune man.
"I arrested this woman for a violation
of the law. and she's got to stand tlie
punishment. I'm going to make an ef
fort to clear the town of these criminal
fakirs, who are imposing upon tho
credulous people of this city and in
many Instances taking away the hard
earned little dollars of poor people."
He said ho had Issued several other
warrants and that other arrests would
bo made today.

ALLEGED PLOT TO
KILL THE PRESIDENT
Francois Merlier, Now Serving Term
for Shooting Dunmore Patrolmen,
Reported Ally of Dangerous
Anarchists.
Francois Merlier, who with Jean
Guilhot, is serving a five years term
at the state penitentiary for shooting
Patrolmen Kays and Snyder, of the
Dunmore police force, during July,
liiDD, Is 'now suspected to be identllied
with the anarchist gang which Is al
leged to have plotted the death of
President McKinley.
A letter was received by tho Hobo
ken police which stated that the writer
was assured of an anarchist plot
against the president. He enclosed
the name of a man whom he said was
tho leader of the anarchists, and in
referring briefly to his character and
frequent arrests, wrote: "In the course
of the past year lie bad concealed
with him a man named Francois, tho
author of an nnnrchist attempt at
Seranton, where he mortally wounded
an agent of police."
This must refer to Francois Merlier.
who. with Guilhot, was arrested last
spring by the Montreal police and
brought here for trial. It was in July,
IS!)!), that they weie caught prowling
about the premises of a Dunmore, coal
operator, and when followed by tin
rtleers fired at them. A section of
leacl pipe Idled with dynamite was
afterwards found near the house.
Snyder was not mm tally wounded,
but on I lie contrary was the loss in
jured of the two men. Keys was very
badly wounded, but hah since re
covered and resumed his duties on the
Dunmore force.
Tho following Asssociated Press dis

Monday was a disagreeable day
for those who intended purchas

did not mind a little shower for
a saving like that. But then
everybody can't shop In the rain,
so the remaining sets of this pat

be on sale until Thanksgiving if
they last that long.
This is not a cheap bargain
