Curfew at Wilkesbarre.
The heavy whistles of three large
breakers 'sounded the curfew to the
children of Wilkesbarre at 9 o'clock
last night for its first time. Thp new
law compels all children under 14 years
to be off the streets by 9 o'clock, unless
accompanied by a parent or guardiau.
Mayor Price's instructions to the po
lice were to make no arrests last night,
but to warn children found out and es
cort them to their homes. A second of
fense will mean arrest and the children
and their parents will be compelled to
pay a fine.
Whistles at each end of the city and
In the heart of it gave loud warning,
blowing for several minutes and they
could be heard all over the city. The
authorities are confident there will be
hut little violation of the law, the two
weeks' notice given having been suffi
cient to warn all the parents and child
ren.
Missing Girl Found.
Rose Chipano, aged 14 years, disap
peared from her homo on South Ridge
street Wednesday evening, and ail
efforts of her father, step-mother and
friends to locate her proved futile until
last evening, when she was found resid

chell, in Hazleton. She was persuaded
to return to her home and arrived here
late last night. The girl says 9he rau
away because of ill-treatment accorded
her by her step-mother, but tho latter
denies that Rose was ever given reason
to complain.
After the girl disappeared her uncle,
Sandy Chipano, was suspected of being
implicated in her going away, and he ,
was arrested and placed in the borough
lockup. [lis release was ordered yes
terday by Chief of Police O'Donnell, who
refused to hold him in the absence of
any proof that he knew of the girl's
whereabouts.
Death of Conrad Hoch.
Conrad Hoch, a Civil war veteran,
died last night at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. Frank Hontz, Birkbeck
street. He was attacked by pneumonia
some time ago and owing to his ad
vanced age was unable to resist the
weakening effects of the disease Mr.
Hoch was a resident of town for a num
ber of years and was respected by his
large number of acquaintances. Fie
served In the Civil war as a sergeant in
Company K, Eighty-first Penn'a Volun
teer infantry.
The deceased was a native of Luzerne
county and was aged 74 years, 1 month
and 14 days. He is survived by two
sons and two daughters, as follows:
Joseph, George, Mrs. Thomas Horn and
Mrs. Frank Houtz, all of Freeland. He
was married twice, and his second wife
died last December at Allentown.
The funeral will take place at 1
o'clock Sunday afternoon. Interment
will be made at Freeland cemetery.
The members of Maj. C. B. Coxe Post,
No. 147, G. A. R., will attend the
funeral.
Crescents Win Again.
The Crescents played all around the
Gordon basket ball team last evening
and won by a score of 28 to 12. The
game was hotly contested by the visit
ors and had the locals not played ball at
all times the result might have been
different. The first half ended with the
score 14 to 4 in favor of the Crescents.
The second half opened with terrific
playing and passing and the audience
became enthusiastic. The spurt of the
Schuylkill county boys was short-lived,
however, and they succeeded In scoring
only four baskets, while the locals had
seven for the half. The points were 14
to 8.
The final score was: Crescents, 28;
Gordan, 12. Davis had one basket,
O'Donnell and Jacquot two each, Welsh
three and Nowak six. The lattni' shot
for a basket during the second half
which played hlra a trick. The ball
rollod around the cage and stopped for a
second or two on the edge and finally
fell out. Dr. Cope refereed the game.
Report Ready Next Week.
Colonel Carroll D. Wright, recorder of
the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission,
is busy on the report of the commission.
The expectation is that the award will
have been decided upon and the report
ready for transmission to the president
by the lattor part of next week.
The president, it Is understood, would
prefer to have the work completed be
fore the adjournment of the present
session of the senate. The members of
the commission decline to discuss their
work on the ground that all knowledge
of their decision must come from the
White House.

THEATRICAL.
In "Way Down East" Manager Wm.
A. Brady has met with one of those
opportunities that come to but few —and
for which we all are anxiously looking.
The play is one of the greatest dramatic
successes of the last quarter century,
and has made its fortunate owners not
only rich* but recognized as standing in
the very front rank of theatrical man
agers.
The play tells a story so simple and
yet so powerful, that it appeals to every
body at once. The pathos however is
only one side of the picture, for the
quaint Now England characters who
ilit about the stage provide plenty of the
element of humor to relieve the tension
and give opportunity for hearty laugh
ter. The tears and joy follow each other
like the sun and showers of springtime,
and in the end the benign influence of
justice done and virtue rewarded,
soothes and satisfies like the green of a
peaceful landscape.
X X x
"My Friond From Arkansaw," which
will be at the opera house tonight,
is another of the successful character
plays that are taking the country by
storm now-a-days. This play gives us a
picture of life in Arkansas; showing the
different types of individuals that are to
be found in that locality. Any one that
is at all familiar with the people of Ar
kansas will readily understand that if
the characters are properly drawn thoy
can not help but be interesting when
presented upon tho stage. Mr. Robert
Sherman, the author, has fulfilled his
mission in writing the play, for ho has
drawn characters true to life, people
that you meet every day in Arkansas.
He has woven a strong plot around
these people and introduced much nat
ural and wholesome comedy, thereby
making this drama one of the strongest
plays now before the public.
X X X
Manager McMonamin has secured for
Monday evening the beautiful rural
and rustic drama. "One Night in June,"
in which W. J. Holmes will bo seen as
Silas Pevey, an honest Vermont farmer.
In the last act he will introduce bis
funny specialty which has made millions
laugh from Maine to 'Frisco. Tho play
is full of pathos, sentiment and comedy.
Many new specialties will be introduced
by tho several members of the company.
The convention of the State Federa
tion of Labor, in session at Harrisburg,

private benefit.
