Came from Virginia to Ma hanoy City and Made Two Futile Attempts to Carry Off the Little Girl. Mrs. Mame Phillips, of Newport News, Va., made a daring attempt to kidnap her six-year-old daughter, Emma, from her foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Clemsen, at Mahanoy City yesterday morning. The woman met the child, who was going to school, and enticed her some distance by promising to buy a pretty doll. When the little one rebelled Mrs. Phillips seized her in her arms and started to run, but had not gone far be fore the girl's screams attracted a crowd. In the excitement which fol lowed the woman dropped the child and hurried off, but returned two hours later only to be foiled a second time. This is the fourth attempt Mrs. Philips has made to gain forceful pos session of the child since being denied the right by Schuylkill county courts two year old. The child was an inmato of the Chil dren's Ilomo at Pottsvllle when the Cleiuson family adopted It. The woman declares she will yet have the child and there promises to be interesting develop ments. Hazleton's Smallpox Case. Mrs. Charles E. IPaas, who Is confined with smallpox in the llazleton pest house, is doing well, but the disease has not yet reached the danger point. The llazleton physician who had charge of the case has withdrawn from attend ance on account of the fears of his other patients, and is succeeded by Dr. Den ison, of Wilkesbarro, who had charge of the smallpox casos in that city lust summer. The local Board of Health is taking much interest in the llazleton case and the members are quietly guarding against the introduction of the dreaded disease into Freeland. Candidates Visit Town. The Democratic county candidates spent yesterday in Freeland and found a very satisfactory condition of affairs here. Under the guidance of Squire Shoviiu, who Is a member of the county committee, they called upon a number of our townspeople and were cordially received. The candidates found that in Freeland, as in all other parts of the county, there Is a strong feeling that the Democratic ticket will poll an un usually large vote this year. The ignoring of the factions which heretofore existed in the party by the delegates to the recent convention has united the Luzerne Democrats as they have not been in many years, and with the county committee preparing to wage an aggressive battle against the dis organized opposition the candidates are justified in feeling that they will win at FREELAND, FA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1901. tlio polls. All the county candidates are travel ing together, which shows that thorough unit) and good feeling exists. The party consists of Messrs. McLean, Froas, Jacobs, I.arrett and Or. Rorge, and they form a group which cannot avoid at tracting attention and respect wherever seen. During their visit to town they made as many calls as possible during the limited time at their disposal and re gretted that they could not spend a few more days in this vicinity. Death of Mrs. Halpin. Mrs. Timothy Halpin died at 4.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon at tin? home of her son, Michael, corner of Walnut and Pine streets.

J.; Mrs. Daniel Leary, Newark, N. J., and Mrs. John Ryan, Hartford, Conn. The funeral will tako place at 9.30 o'clock tomorrow morning, followed by a requiem mass at St. Ann's church. Interment at St. Ann's cemetery. Foot Ball Game Off. The prospects of a foot ball game on Sunday afternoon botween Freeland and Hazleton clubs are not very promis ing at the present time. The Hazleton men have cancelled tho game on the ground that they were not to receive a sullicient amount of the recoipts. At the same time they offer to play at Drifton or Jeanosvlllo, where they will receive no money. The opinion in this section is that Ilaxieton is simply afraid to test the ability of its self-boasted eleven against tho Freeland boys. This seeming cow ardice will probably upset the arrange ments for a series of friendly games which would have been interesting to patrons of the sport. Curfew Law for Plymouth. Plymouth council has passed a curfew to go into effect November 1, restricting children under sixteen years of age from being on the streets after 9 o'clock at night, those under eighteen at 10 o'clock, they being liable to arrest and lino unless accompanied by a member of their family over twenty-one years of age; regelating the age at attendance to public balls, and restricting the time to 1 o'clock, and Imposing a licenso foe of live dollars besides the regular police protection.

Iloyt's "A Day and a Night" is said by many to bo his brightest and best comedy, and it is claimed that this season's company is by Tar tho best ever engaged in its production. There is a distinctly original idea in tho unravell ing of the story of a supposed country bumpkin's introduction into the gay life of New York city. Briefly told, "Mar able Hart," an inexperienced young man, visits New York in search of vocal ists for his church choir in a New Jersey village. He falls in with a theatrical manager and his staiT, and they, in turn sot a party of comic opera singers to initiating tho young man into the life of the metropolis, lie enters into their scheme with little hesitancy, and comes out a full-Hedged sport.
