get table to practice on that was
anything like the one he had to play on.
The table used in the contest was sent
on from Chicago by the Brunswick
Balke- Calender company and was sup
piled by new cloths, cushions and ivory
balls. Clearwater's hackers set up an
exactly similar table in the East End
for their man to practice on. keogh
could get nothing but the ordinary by
10 foot table, with large pockets to do
his training on, and as consequence
he was very weak until he got used to
the table. The fact that he defeated
Clearwater in the second and third
nights play goes to prove that his eX-
PLANTATION is very probably the right

Keogh had the crowd with him from
the beginning, and during the second
and third nights it fairly went wild
over his nervy uphill work. His cool
ness was made the chief feature of all

Sunday papers headed its report of the
contest: Merry Mr.. Keogh. He Gave

That Keogh himself is not the only
one who thinks he Is better than Clear
water is evidenced by the fact that one
of Clearwater's hackers came to keOgh
after the game and told him he would
back him for any amount Of money
against Clearwater or anybody else.

summer they found 1t necessary to en-

their customers. to add a much larger

A WAYFARERS' HOME.
Board Of Charities Considering the Ad-
visibility of Establishing Ono.

The board of associated charities met
in the mayors office last Sight in regu-
lar seini-monthly session. There were
present President j. X. Cohen. II. j.
Moore. II. J. Kelly. w. Gaylord Thomas,
John Gibbons. Rev. Rogers Israel. Mrs.
Duggan, the society's agent. and Miss
Kiesel, the nurse employed by the So
ciety Rev. Mr.. Haughton. Of Potts
VILE, Pa, a guest of Rev. Rogers Israel,
boards transactions.
A call for reports of committees failed
to elicit any formal reports but brought
forth many interesting discussions on
work undertaken or contemplated by
the association. Rev. Rogers Israel
said that The committee to which was
referred the project of cultivating sub
urban lots by the INDECENT had declared
that the plan was impracticable for the
reason that 1t was impossible to secure
ground. He promised a more extended
report when the chairman of the COM
mittee w. r.. Smith. could be present.
Perhaps the most important subject
discussed was q plan of establishing a
Wayfarers' home. which Rev. Mr.. Is
rael said had been suggested to him by
Mr.. Sanborn, superintendent of the
Rescue mission. 1t was suggested that
Whyte's hotel on Franklin avenue, now
vacant. could be secured for this pur-
pose and it was advocated that the
buildings in the rear could be used as
workshops where persons applying for
lodgings could be set to work to defray
the expenses of their entertainment.
The matter was referred > the relief
committee to which was added Rev.
Rogers Israel.

They were produced In court and offer

one of u gang of Italian counterfeiters
who have lately been operating In New

cret Service Officer Matthew Griffin
was pla ced on the stand. He identified
the bills as those of same series rs

In Pittston four days after the arrest
of Perrone and Palmieri. all of which

QUIET REIGNS At DUNMoRE
Excitement Caused by Mondays Riot
Has Died Out.
AINK's CONDITION DOUBTFUL
Hospital Surgeons Unable TO Say
Whether or Not the Man Win Re-
covcr-Ruthvcn viii Remain Ia
tho City for Somo Time.

After the storm comes calm. Things
have returned to their normal order In
Dunmore and the Ruthven riot has
ceased to excite the minds of the resi-
dents of that borough. Special Officer
Fred Mink, the ex-priest's body guard
Is I'm II doubtful condition ut the Lacka-
wanna hospital Dr. Blanchard says
the wounded man is resting comfort
ably and what Is most to be feared is
that blood poisoning may develop. II
the bullet becomes incapsulated there
Is no danger. 1t will be u few days yet
before Mink's chances of recovering
can be correctly estimated. Keller and
Sasraves are getting along well.
No arrests were made yesterday of
any of the men charged with partici-
patins In the shooting affray The
warrants We're turned over to the Dun
more police by County Detective Ley
shon and up to a late hour last night
none of the suspects had been taken
into custody. Christy Walsh, against
whom Ruthven has made a statement
charging him with having done some
shooting. was around the streets of
DunmOre and did not appear to be in
any way evading arrest. Peter O'Horo
of Ward street. and James Sweeney,
after whom search was made Mon
day night, have been keeping in the
background.
There was a rumor that young man
named Murphy, living in Sport Hill,
was shot during the riot but investiga-
tiOn has failed to authenticate 1t. DR..
f. W. Winters, who treated Keller and
Seagraves. says that the bullet which
Is embedded in the formers knee, may
cause stlffening of the joint. The
wound on Seagrave's ankle Is super
ficcial and he will be all Eight In q few
days.
AS stated yesterday the Dunmore po-
lice were not on the scene when the
shooting happened nor were they
around for long time afterward. 1t
Is a most difficult matter to harm0nize
the conflicting stories concerning the
affray, and no one seems to know
definitely who did the shooting. Forty
or fifty shots We're fired, but who fired
them Is q question.
Mink says II he sees the man who
shot him he will readily recognize him
beyond that he knows nothing of the
mans identity. Ruthven was at his
boarding house as usual yesterday and
gave out information that he intends
to remain in town for some time yet.
At an early hour yesterday morning
F.. L. Wagner and John Quinn, two
residents of the borough. became en-
gagged in a heated debate about the
rioting. Quinn was charged with
threatening to shoot Wagner and
Special officer Warner, who was near
by, arrested the former and brought
him before Justice of the Peace Rob-
ert Scott. Quinn arranged to enter bal
but the case was settled upon the pay
ment Of costs by the defendant.

tainmcnt Well Worth Attending.

The musical extravaganza, princess
Rosebud" which will be given on
March 26 and q for the benefit of the

entire cast. The heroine of the story
Is Princess Rosebud, who, at the age
of s, was left an orphan in charge of her
Uncle Crockeryware. The crown of the
kingdom Of Bango Wango was the le-
gitimate inheritance of Rosebud but
Crockeryware, her guardian, acting as
regent, by craft placed the crown on
his own head and allowed the little
princess to wander out in the woods,
without escort. where she disappeared.
The hero is Prince Curley, who Is also
deprived of his kingdom through the
wicked Vaccinations Of his uncle, who
ascends the throne and afterwards
tries to compel the prince to marry his
ungracious daughter. The princes
god-mother, Fairy Whitewand, comes
on the scene and after the princess and
prince suffer many trials and tribula-
tions the good fairy succeeds in restor-
ing the prince to his kingdom and mar
rying him to the Princess Rosebud.
The many beautiful situations which
the extravaganza permits will be pre-
sented in an elaborate manner.

Mr. Wirth and his friends rallied
around and got down to work.
The most active endeavor of the Re-
publicans was In the First district The

district that elected him. In the Third
district Wirth got 60 and Phillips, 81.
