NOVEL PROGRAMME

Unique Entertainment Given for
Building Fund of New Synagogue.
Doll Show and Tombola.
A lnttsle doll show, followed by that
novel variety of lottery known tis tlio
tnmboln. was thu proKintnmc carried
out at the Kscclslor Social ;Iuli lust
liislit under tln auspices of the Indies
of thu Linden street temple, and thoi
imjrhly enjoyed and very much of a
suivesH It proved. Tito no; proovds
were devoted to the buildlM? fund of
the now cynaKOKUP and from. a I'n.iii
:lal Htandpoiitt as well as from every
other, the'resttlts more th-tn exeeeded
all anticipation.
Tile doll show was a one net panto
mime, with musical accompaniment,
all but live of tin; dramatic persona?,
enaetiim- the role of dolls. This part
of the entertainment was in charge of
Airs. Albert X. Kramer, and the :-b-fer.ee
of any IrroKUlarlty or awfcwaril-lo.-'i,
was the Krvtetsc tribute to the
ability of the directress. The com
mittee in charire of the entire enter
tainment was made up of Airs. Sam
uel banner, Sirs. It. M. Goldsmith.
Mrs. A. X. Kramer. Mrs. J. O. Aolter
nmn. Mrs. Hoi. Goldsmith, Alts. Louis
Oesttinirer and Mrs. A. Bresehel, and
their earnest and industrious efforts
were mainly responsible for tl.o af
fair's success.

o'clock and disclosed the interior of
a small, but cosily fitted doll-shop.
Several cabinets cunliitniiur tin; var
ious prizes of the tombola were in
evidence, and larRe draperies of Amer
ican Mass formed a splendid back
ground. The proprietor or the "Temple lia
zanr," as the shop was called, provided
to lie Samuel Otis Skinner, as the pro
Kramme designated htm, hut who Is
heller known to the city at large as
Samuel Sumter, l.ouls Spencer 'Levy,
and Aineliti liacharach, iinpersoiiatinij
an English tourist and wife, wero
ushered p bv (he attendant, irvlu
Well. They wove acconipaniiid by lit
tle .lean Samier, supposedly the In
fant dauKhltjr. brouKht to the estab
lislunent to pick out a doll
The proprietor ol' the shop then
brouahl in one by one the human
dolls, who. impersonated by "fail
wotneii and brave men." proved of
considerable more interest than ordi
nary puppets, Each doll was wound
up by the propiletor, and to appropri
ate music played by Mrs. .7. O. Acker
man, went throitfili a number of fancy
steps. .Miss Nellie Kramer lnolu-d
charming-, and made a winsome "Lady
Hubble" doll, and Miss IJose Worm
.'rr as "Kntherine Sehottlsche," looked
as thoiiKh she had Jual blown in from
I'Yuukl'ori-on-lhe-lthini'.
Aliss Helen AVormscr, as a talklnt
French doll, was very clever, and the
same ern be said of A'iss Anna Koos,
who did a graceful dunce as a Spanish
doll, "Ulin Carmeticlta." .Miss Harriet
Prlesen was a pretty baby doli, and
Miss Itose Ciallen, as Topsy.with lovely
kinky hair and a very dusky complex
Ion, scored one of 1 he greatest hits of
the eVenlliK',
.Miss Ksther .Moses was attired in a
lmtidHouiii bridal (jowii, and presente.l
a stately appearance, and Miss Paiilliu
Goldsmith was an Ideal (.elsha Rlrl, In
lier Jnpaneso cosuime, as the "Peat I of
Asia."
The ntali) dolls were there In num
ber, Jolly, rotund Hoi Goldsmith and the
Hrown brothers, Gits and Ike. Mr.
Goldsmith was wheeled onto tlio staffo,
and his chubby face beamed out from
a mass of white whiskers with the
usual Jocular look attributed to Santa,
riiius, which was the polo assigned him.
Ike Hrown was a Krlunluir, painted
clown, Willi a jaekknlfo movement
which evoked roars of laughter, and
his yoiiitKCr brother skilfully enacted
tlte passive, rolo of "(laps Fredorlekson
Geblasen," a soldier of renown.
All of lite performers did splendidly,
and besides thu dolls, 100 much cannot
bo said of thu work of Miss llacliarach,
Mr. Levy, Mr, Hamtep and uttlo .lean
Sumter, irvlu Well did well In a rolo
which did not afford sreat opportun
ities. Tlio grand Haute, la which thu
dolls eamo to llfo anil perform a
nilnuut, was very cfuvurly executed.
At tho close of tho doll show, tliote
was a wild rush for chances in thu
tombola, and during 'the remainder of
thu ultjlit refreshments were served,
and a tlmu of Beneral social enjoyment
spent. The tombola was the cause of a
dual of amusement, and various guess
intf contests, fortunu-tellers' booths,
etc., also contributed to tho entertain
ment. There were a larse number of
out of the city guests present.

DRAMATIC WAY EDITH POND
RECEIVED HER SENTENCE.
When Judge David Cameron Con
signed Her to tho Eastern Peniten
tiary for Three Years She Cried Out
nnd Appeared to Swoon In Falling
Her Head Struck Against the
Bench and Sho Was Rendered Un
consciousTried to Commit Sui
cide in County Jail.
ISdlth Pond was yesterday tnornlni;
returned RUllly of robbery by tho Jury
to which the ease was given Wednes
day afternoon and was at onco sen
tenet d by Judge David (.'ameron, of
Tioga county, before whom she wns
tried, to three years In the Eastern
penitentiary, and $100 fine.
As soon as the Judge pronounced
the words she uttered a sillied cry
ami fell forward on tho stenographer's
desk and then toppled over sideways,
striking her head against the base
board of tho Judge's bench with her
head, it was the opinion or the Jail
olllclals that rIiu was shamming when
she fell, but there was no shamming
about It after sho struck her head.
She was carried Into the law library,
whore, after a time, nhe revived.
AVhen she was committed to await
trial on the charge of robbing D. S.
Johnson, of which she was yesterday
convicted, a young colored man. Ar
thur Morris, with whom she lived,
was arrested and given thirty days
largely on general principles.
About a week ago ho bud occasion
to pass the gate that leads to the
women's corridor in the jail anal she
called after him:
"Go to !" was his unfeeling
reply.
This greatly affected her and .a short
time afterwards sho was discovered
trying to hang herself in her cell.
On the trial she said Morris is her
husband and a prtifesslonal gambler
by occupation. Ho denies tho relation
ship. Chief of police Holding- has received
infoiinatlon from tho police authori
ties of Indianapolis, whore the Pond
woman formerly lived, which shows
that sho had a very bad record. Sho
was arrested In that city on several
occasions for larceny and prostitution
for which sho ha3 served several short
terms in prison. She was known there
its Ycager.
Tho police of Cleveland, Ohio, with
whom Chief Robling also communi
cated, knew rhe woman's record, but
had nothing speelllc agtiinst her.
Otlie'- cases that received attention
yesterday were:
JUDGE ARCHBALD.
The jury in the case of Michael
Gallagher, of North Seranlon. charged
by the Municipal league with selling
liquor without a license, had evident y
some very determined men among its
members. Tho jury retired at I
o'clock 'Wednesday afternoon and had
not reached a verdict up to the hour
that court adjourned yesterday..' 1:1
lite morning the jurors asked to be
fxcuf.cd, but Judge Arehbnld refused
to do so, rnd in the afternoon they
sent a note to tho judge asking him
to disehnrgj them. Again ho refused
to il them go, saying it was their
duty to try nnd reconcile and har
monize tho differences between them.
One of the jurors, Honjamln Castles,
said he thought It was impossible for
them to agree, but the judge decided
lo give them another opportunity to
came together.

JUDGE EDWARDS.
About all of yesterday was con
sumed with tho trlnl or the case of
Alainanzo Porter and Alonzo Porter,
wlto i'ro charged with receiving
stolon goods, buying junk from min
ors and neglect Ins to keep a record
of purchases of junk.
Tlte evidence was that on June S
Kobert Howard and three other boy.?,
all under lti years of age, and resi
dents of AVest Setantou, entered tho
small foundry of Hughes- Hrothers in
that part of the city, and stole $10 or
$10 worth of brass and U'ud which they
took to tho Porters about 9 o'clock
that night and sold for ?.2.r0. It was
further alleged that when tho Hughes
Mrothers went to Porter's- In search of
the property stolen from them, Alonso
llorter .showed them whnit he had
purchased front the boys, but when
they came back with an olllcer a, con
siderable amount of brass and alt thu
lead bad disappeared.
Alonzo Purler admitted that hot
bought some brass from the boys on
June X. Ho said they came to his
place about S:'1) in the evening an.l
pleaded Vilth him to buy It. Young

they bad arranged to go on an ex
cursion the next day and wanted sum..'
money, lie told them he did not want
lo buy the stuff but they pleaded 30
hard that they would lose tlio day'a
pleasure If they could , not sell the
brass and other stuff they had, that
his heart was moved to pity, and be
gave them $i'.r,0 and sent them on their
way rejoicing.
Alnninuzu Porter was nol present
at the time and knew nothing of thli
transaction. The books nf the firm
were produced to show they keen a
record of purchases as required by

plete. In charging tho jury, Judge Ed
wards tsild the jury their verdict
would he nol guilty as to AlamanKo
Porter, si rev it was clear he had noth
ing to do with the tt impaction. A
largo number of prominent business
men were put on the stand who tes

accused men.
