Miss Blanche L. Friderici Delighted
a Large Audience at Bicycle
Club House Last Night.
It Is an extremely dliliculL thing for
an impersonator tu engage the closo
attention and to keep alive the interest
of an audience for an extended' period
of time. Miss Blanche L. Friderici did
it last night at the Scranton Bicycle
clubhouse and did it with apparently
no great effort.
A She appeared for the bencllt of the
nurse's home of the Hahnemann hos
pital and was listened to and applauded
by a large and fashionable audience.
Miss Friderici gave four monologues,
all differing widely In the emotions they
called Into play.
She appeared to decidedly the best
advantage in an arrangement ot Joim
IjUther .Long's tragic little Japanese
story, "Madame Hutterily," which has
been dramatized by David Rekisco and
which lias met with more than passing
success as. presented on the stage. It
was necessary in making tliu play to
compress the whole story Into ono
scene, thus robbing it of much of Its
tragic power.
-Miss Frldericl's version carries lite
thread of tho story from beginning to
end lints allowing her audience to get
an insight Into the emotions of the
simple-minded little Jauanese woman
who waited in vain for tho return of
her ".M'nuricaluC! lover, Jteester Ben
jamin Frankleen l'lnlc-er-ton," the
father of her little baby. Her accent
was a delight to listen to as she re
peated tho precise "copy book" English
which site had learned,
The happiness of the brave little
Japanese woman, over her lover's ex
pected return; her doubt when he came
not; her pathetic appeal to the United
States consul as she asked him what
time tho "robeens nest turuin" in his
land and her bitter sorrow when site
learned that she had been only her
lover's plaything for an hour and that
lie would never come back were por
trayed with wonderful skill by Hiss
Friderici and there were tears in the
eyes of many as she developed the last
sad scene of all when poor Madame
Hutterily kills herself and her baby.
She gave the first act of Jlauelton's
successful play "Mistress Xell" in
which Henrietta f'rossman has made
such a success. The piece was almost
Interminably long for a single number
but Miss Frederic! managed to win
much applause despite this handicap.
She impersonated six characters, four
of them males. The piquant grace and
careless jollity of light hearted Xell
Gwynn, who led Charles II such a
merry chase, were admirably portrayed
and In the character of Strings, the old
lame fiddler Willi a fondness for drink,
Miss Fredericl ciuite sunk her womanly
individuality.
In "At the Masquerade," a society
mortologuo she did not appear with as
good effect though site was never for a
moment uninteresting. The last selec
tion "Daisy's Practice Hour" was a
quaintly humorous monologue written
by herself, Vincent Farrelli, a clever
young harpist, enterspersed Miss Frld
ericl's selections with several excellently
tendered solos,
During the afternoon a sale of candy
and fancy work was conducted in tho
reception moms of the club house and
quite a brisk btislness was done after
the entertainment, also. Tho ladles
who arranged for tho affair wore as
follows: Mrs. Henry Bellu, Mrs. A. M.
Decker. Mis, T. H. YVntklns, Mrs. C.

STOOD TRIAL
YOU CANNOT SET PIRE TO YOTTP.
OWN HOUSE.
Commonwealth Disposes of the Con
tention That There IsNNo Law in
Pennsylvania Making It a Crime
for a Person to Set Eire to His Own
House When No Attempt Is Made
to Defraud an Insurance Company.
Mrs. Klshpaugli Guilty Other
Minor Cases.
"When court adjourned Thursday,
Judge Xowcomb was confronted with
the question of whether or not a per
son could bo Indicted for setting fire to
bis own property, when there wub no
evidence that tho deed was committed
for tho purpose of defrauding an Insur
ance company.
Ono clause ot the arson code provides
that 11 person can be indicted for set
ting fire to the property ot another. A
second clause provides that a person
can bo Indicted for setting lire to his
own property when It Is dono for tho
purpose of defrauding an Insurance
company.
In tho case In colnt, the Common
wealth ngatnst Bridget Lavelle, the de
fendant set lire to heV own property,
but with no reasonable motive, there
being no Insurance on the building.
John F. Scragg, attorney for tho de
fense, contended that there was no pro
vision In the Pennsylvania stntutos for
penalizing a person who sets fire to his
own property, when It is not for tho
purpose of defrauding an insurance
company, and that In consequence of
this inadequacy n verdict of not guilty
should be directed.
MR. THOMAS SUSTAINED.
"When court opened, yesterday morn
ing, Assistant District Attorney Thomas
produced an act passed In 1881, which
makes a party amenable for arson when
lie sets lire to a property that he may
be in possession ot either as owner or
tenant. In this case, Mrs. Lavclle was
shown to be in possession, because she
was tho owner and tho house was un
tenanted. Judge Xewcomb sustained
Mr. Thomas' position, and the trial was
proceeded with.
Tho defense was that Mrs. Lavclle
was demented at the lime she com
mitted the act. Dr. Herman Bessey and
Jail Physician S. P. Longstreet were
called to support this contention, and
each told that she displayed unmis
takable evidences of the form of insan
ity known as dementia. They admitted
on cross-examination that a person af
flicted with dementia, lias lucid inter
vals, during which they are wholly re
sponsible for their acts.
The fact that Mrs. I.avelle selected
tho midnight Jiour for starting the Are
and went about the deed in a manner
which would do credit to an expert
"lire-bug," was used as grounds for
argument by the commonwealth that
at the time of the fire she was enjoying
a lucid interval. Tho jury was out at
adjourning time wrestling with the
question of tho defendant's mental con
dition at the time she committed tho
deed.
A verdict of guilty, Willi a recommen
dation of mercy, was returned against
Mrs. Ada Klshpaugli in the three cases
in which she was charged with passing
spurious checks on local merchants.
Her husband was acquitted.
Verdicts of not guilty were entered
by agreement iri the trolley strike cases
in which Rachel Williams, William Mc
flraw, Hugh McGraw, Thomas Cannon,
Maria Jennings, J. II. Jennings, M. F.
Kearney and Andrew Heffron were de
fendants. With the acquiescence of the
commonwealth the costs were ulaeed
on the county. All the cases growing
out of the strike disorder have now
been settled, with the exception of
those against the three special oulcers
charged with the killing of Daniel Mc
Auilffe. CHILDREN THE CAUSE.
George Gusie and John Kern, of North
Scranton, got Into a squabble with
Michael Massage last winter, as a re
sult of their children becoming involved
In it fight wlille sleighrldlng, Massago
had each arrested for assault and but
tery. The alderman sent In four Iran-'
scripts, two for assault and battery and
two for surety. When the cases camo
before Judge Edwards, and ho learned
from the evidence that the alleged of
fense was a joint assault, he made an
order consolidating the two assault and
battery cases, quashing the surety
cases, and directing Hint costs bo taxed
in only one case.
A verdict of not guilty, with the costs
on tho prosecutor, was returned in
Gusle's case. In the case ot Kent, the
verdict was not f.'ullly, but he was
called upon to shore the costs with the
prosecutor.
Mary Reddinglon plead guilty to the
charge of thieving, preferred against
her by SuperintendenfNit Police Day,
and Judge Purely suspended sentence.
Constable Thomas Miller plead guilty
of smashing down the door of Eliza
beth Morgan, while attempting to make
a levy under a landlord's warrant, His
defense was that ho did so under tho
advlco of his counsel. Judge Edwards
imposed a nominal Hue pf ?l. William
Kline, who was with him to assist In
the levy, was acquitted.
RUTURNED NOT GUILTY,
Michael Kimup, charged with assault
and buttery on A. Freetiman. was re
turned not guilty. The costs were
placed on tho county, Tho same dis
position was made of the enso In which
Filcman Gamble was charged by Spe
cial Olllcer Morris Neyman with aiding
11 prisoner to escape, and the case in
which John Dunleuvy was charged

Francis. John McDonnell was returned
not guilty of assault and buttery on
David Q, Evans and the prosecutor was
called upon to pay the costs,
Matthew Urbutes was convicted of

THEJf B0THG0T EVEN.
But in Doing So Malintla Bowie and
Bobert Mills Got Themselves
Committed to Jail.
After the cutting affray In Raymond
court on Thursday afternoon, in which
Miss Mallnda Bowie and Robert Mills,
both colored, were injured, both these
"pussona" announced their intention of
getting even, one with the other.
The method which they selected for
getting even was the swearing out of
warrants for the arrest of each other.
At 10 o'clock last night they were both
occupying cells In the central police
station, unable to secure bondsmen.
They were even with encn other, how
ever. The warrant for Mills' arrest was
sworn out before Alderman Ruddy and
charged him with felonious wounding
and assault nnd battery. Act I was
accordingly played in Alderman Rud
dy's office last night, In the presence
of 0. select audience. Attorney John J.
Murphy represented Mallnda and At
torney Richard J. Bourke appeared for
Mills.
Mallnda, in her testimony, swore thut
she quarrelled with Mills on Thursday
over a thirty-cent wash Dill. Mills told
her he'd pay it when he was blanked
good and ready, and when she remon
strated with him, to use her own
words, "He told me that if alt came out
in the alley he'd lick me. All ain't no
man, ah says, but ah can fight jess the
same, and when he came attah me and
threw me over the stove, I gave him a
tussle."
When she got up from the floor, she
said, her hand was cut and she saw a
cut on 3Iills' face, but. she didn't know
how it came there. She had no knife,
and was sure she didn't cut him. Mills
swore that Mallnda stubbed him
through the check with a butcher knife
and that he threw himself on her in
self-defense. Alderman Ruddy com
cemmitted him to the county jail in
default of $(100 bail.
After a brief Intermission, Act II was
performed in Magistrate Howe's office,
where evidence was adduced to show
that Mallnda followed Mills down
Hlclrs and maliciously stabbed him.
She was also committed to the county
jail In default of $G00 bail.

NOTES FOR

NEWS PROM WORLD OP STRIKES
AND SPARES.
Possibility of a Change in the Scran
ton League Schedule so That Thir
ty Gomes Only Will Be Rolled,
Billy Hopkins Exceedingly High
' iverage in the Game with the
Cambrians Game Between Black
Diamonds and Backus Bowlers Ar
ranged for Friday Night.
Already there 1 talk ot shortening
tho schedulo of tho Scranton Rowling
League, so as to provide for only thirty
games, instead of tho forty-two, which
the committee- in Its wisdom saw lit
to provide for. The schedulo, as ar
ranged, provides for a continuation of
play until July IB. Bowling after June
I sets In Is mighty exhausting .work,
and to continue match games until
July M, It is contended, would be a
hard burden to place on the players.
The Imperials, as tho Lledcrkranz
team has been christened, should fin
ish somewhere near the top ot tlio
heap. Three or tho trophy-winning
Backus team, Pecklns, Moora and
Hopkins, will roll with the team, and
some big scores should result. Meyers,
tho fourth man, Is a good, steady
bowler, whllo Waldncr, the fifth player,
is an uncertain quantity, being ono
of the most erratic bowlers in tho city.
One night recently he made 220 In one
game and went below 150 in the next.
A
Billy Hopkins made the highest in
dividual average, 1991-3, on Wednes
day night last, that has been made In
any three match games In any league
In this city during the season now
drawing to a close. He played through
the thirty frames without a single
miss, and had It not been for two un
fortunate "guts" he might have made
an average of considerably over 200.
m
The name of the Hampe team has
been changed to the Crescents, but the
Centrals, ' the other team from the
Hampe alleys, will take the latter
name before the next games are
rolled. The weak players have all
been eliminated from tilts team, and It
is now one of the strongest in the
league.
