NEW CASTLE, Sept. 23.-Business men
were wonderfully stirred up yesterday by
the appearance in town of woman An
archist, who represented herself to be
Emma Goldman. the New York Socialistic
agitator. The woman answered every de-
scription of the New Yorker, even TO the
gold eyeglasses and iet-black hair, and she
was an Anarchist from head to foot. Mrs.
Goldman was selling Two Socialist maya.
zines, but met with little announcement
here 1t is said that she was induced to
come here by the club Of Anarchists
who live in the Polish Quarters
in Dobbinsville, and who are few
but faithful. The strange visitor
made herself particularly offensive in
the meat market Of John A. Walls, the
barber shop of the Bacon Brothers and the
stationery store of L. l.. Chase, where she
was questioned closely. By many people
it is believed that the real purpose of her
canvassing and her visit to the Anarchists
in Dobbinsville was to help swell the
Emma Goldman defence fund, which is
hardly large enough in New York to save
her from five years on Blackwells Island.
She, however. struck the wrong neighbour
hood for fund raising.
TWO TURKS AND BEAR.
While the little city was unusually quiet
yesterday two Turks appeared leading
huge cinnamon bears through the streets,
and in less than 70 minutes had turned
things into a state Of chaos. A crowd of
200 children collected and horses began to
prance and run or refuse to pass the huge
beasts as they hoped about on their hind
legs, while the grizzly foreigners sang.
Finally Mayor Herbert came upon the
scene and ordered the fellows to move out
OF town bag and baggage. They lost no
time in obeying.
NOVEL ENTERTAINMENT.
A novel evening entertainment was held
at the home of Miss Mary Shaw, daughter
of Manufacturer James q. Shaw, last
night. 1t was a cooking party Every
young woman who participated was re.
quired to prepare and cook some delicacy--
according to their own choice and bring II
as the ticket of admission. The entertain
ment was the first of this kind ever given
in New Castle, and it showed that there
are many charming young women who
can cook as artistically as they can enter
tain in their parlors.
