SAW THE BRONZE STATUES.
Large Audience Attracted to Davis Thea.
ter Last Might


An audience that filled Davis theater to
the doors last night saw the first presenta-
tion of living bronze statues in this city.
The concensus of opinion of those who saw
them last night is that they are no more
II even as Objectionable, as many of the
living pictures that have been seen here.
The posers were q man and woman and
they were seen as 1.-THE Disc Thrower,"
"Flora," paris and Helen," Achilles"
THE Dying Gaul" and 1.-THE Fisherman
In all of which the originals were correctly
presented. The last statue shown was
that of "Diana," when the woman posed
attired only in a breech cloth and a coat
of bronze paint. In all of the poses the
man had no other covering, but with the
exception Of "Diana" the woman was par
TALLY covered by a drapery.
While waiting for her turn to go upon
the pedestal and pose she informed a
Tribune man that she would just as leave
fieshlings. at doesn't make any differ
ence,' she said, "one is just the same as
the other. I feel just as dressed In this as
in tights" The posing Is done under the
personal supervision Of Mr.. Nahl, the dis
coverer of the bronze preparation with
which his subjects are covered.
II first apply coating Of grease to the
skim he said in explaining the process to
Tribune man last night, land after the
body has been thoroughly covered with 1t
the bronze is applied Its preparation is
my secret. 1t is not injurious and does not
fill the pore of the skin as you can OBJ
serve by looking at this man and woman.
You can see the sweat ooze out through
the bronze covering"
Judged merely from an artistic stand
point last nights posing was success,
but the advisability Of allowing on the
public stage what belongs to the artists
studio may we'll be question. 1t brings home
forcibly to us the question, "Whither are
we driftlng?" 1t would appear that in the
bronze statues the era OF realism on the
stage has about exhausted itself. There
are few more barriers to burn.
The statues are the closing feature of q
very good vaudeville performance which
introduces many clever people. Among
those who saw the performance last night
were William H. Campbell, of the Bing-
hamton Leader and William A. Patton, OF
the Herald, of the same city. The statues
are to be shown in Blnghamton the latter
part of the week and that the people OF
that city might be enlightened in advance
as to what they are like, these gentle.
men attended last nights performance.
The company will be at Davis this and
tomorrow nights and tomorrow afternoon.

James Donahoe's one and one-half
frame building located at the rear Of
lot between Fig and Palm streets, on
Irving avenue, and all the household
effects. We're destroyed by fire at 3
o'clock yesterday morning The loss
approaches $1,000, with but half that
amount of insurance. The owner is en-
ployed as a charger at the South Steel
works, and left home an hour before
to go to work. His wife arose and pre-
pared meal for him. They have a
family of five children. Mrs. Donahoe
returned to sleep and was awakened
by the smoke. She hurried to get her
children out, and when that was ac-
complished without any of them being
burned, the flames had progressed so
far that no part of the furniture could
be saved. An alarm was sounded from
box As and the fire companies respond
ed, but the water force was so weak
that a stream could not be got to play
on the flames. The nearest fire hydrant
was two blocks away. There being no
other houses at close range to the fire,
fortunately only that property was de-
stroyed.

.FARNHAM'S MONEY Gone
Four Hundred Dollars Taken from a
Drawer Of His Bureau.
MADE USE OF A FALSE KEY
With II the House Was Entered Ycstcr'
day Afternoon and When Mr.. Farm.
ham Returned from Work lie
Found His Money Missing.
MADE USE OF A FALSE KEY

James H. Farnham, of 112 Penn ave-
nue., who is employed at the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western car shops,
made complaint to the police yester-
day that the sum OF $400 was abstracted
from a bureau in his bedroom yester-
day.
The robbery appears to have taken
place under very peculiar circum-
stances. Mr.. Farnharm resides In
rooms on the third story. above Pierce's
market, and Mrs. Brayton, his house
keeper and himself are the sole occu-
pants of the rooms
Yesterday morning Mr.. Farnharm
locked up the cash in the bureau in his
bedroom, and went to work as usual.
During the morning he was anxious as
to it's safety, and at the dinner hour
hurried home to examine the drawer.
He, however, found 1t secure and felt
satisfied.
After dinner he locked his bedroom
door and left the key in the usual place,
and Mrs. Brayton left the rooms soon
after him, locking the other doors and
placing the keys together.
Doors Open and Money Gone.
About the same time the people living
on the second floor also went out, so
that for some hours the rooms were
deserted, and the main door leading
from Center street was left open.
When Mr.. Farnham returned from
work he found the doors open.' but the
keys in their hiding place. The bureau
was also open, and a strange key left
in the lock. All the money had disap-
peared, and, save the strange key, no
trace of the theft was left. The police
were communicated with, and thor
ough search was made.
Mr.. Farnharm, who is not in the best
of health, is much grieved over the loss
Of his hard-earned savings. and, as the
S4O0 were all in cash, 1t will be most
difficult matter to trace the thief
