Prof. Barrael Will Give an Interesting Y
Entertainment on Sunday Evening.
Sunday evening, Feb. IA, at the Paw
tuclIet Opera House, Prof. Fred f. Barrael
will demonstrate spirit power In full ligh
on an open stage, producing the most
wonderful manifestations ever witnessed
in this city. He is ably assisted by the
celebrated test medium, Mr.. j. w. Gillard.
Prof. Barrael exposes In full view of his
audience all the false manifestations that
are practiced by some so-called mediums,
as they invariably resort to darkness. Prof.
Barrael uses full lights. He Is cliamed by
the press all over the country to be the
only medium who ever gave satisfaction
in public hall on an open stage. He
produces the most startling and astound-
ing manifestations ever produced, and
will positively produce full forms that are
plainly seen and recognized. This is some
thing new, and should attract a large
audience. All should secure seats in ad-
vance, as he is here one night only, Sun

What Secretary Morse Has tn Say OF
Pawtucket's Crack Team.

What Secretary Morse Has tn Say Of
Pawtuckct's Crack Team.
"Jake' Morse has been following the
work of the Pawtucket team with consid-
erable interest, and as he had not had an
opportunity to witness their playing this
season took a run to Salem last night, and
there was not more interested spectator
in the rink last evening than he. After.
the game he hunted up Capt. Hobe and
congratulated him on the way in which he
handled his men and the splendid head
work displayed, and the way in which the
team played together. This was very graft
flying to the modest captain and to the
members Of the team when they heard of itl
On the way to the depot at Salem Mr..
Morse in talking the matter over to \
Salem man made the following comments
| on the individual work of the men on tho
team. 'The Pawtuckets are stars, and L
never saw finer exhibition than they
gave tonight. l consider Cunningham
wonder. Lations is the easiest goaltender,
F, l think, in the league, and plays his posi-
| tion more cody than the majority"
"Young Whiting has made the most
| rapid improvement in his position and ts
| great halfback. / am glad to see that
| Bone has also improved and gotten over
his habit Of driving the ball instead OF
| passing it. As for Hobe Whiting he is
one of the greatest centers ever seen ON
the floor and must be a very valuable man
to the team aside from his playing quail
ties He has brought the team to cor
dition where every man knows exactly
what to do at the right moment, and their
team work Is splendid"
AS Mr.. Morse has not seen the team,
plsy before this year, his Judgment, aside
from his knowledge OF the game, may be
taken rs that OF u fair minded critic with
out bias, and the friends OF the team ia
this city will be glad to hear the opinion
OF so prominent man in sporting circles.

BlaCkmaiI.
SHE IS NOT YET SIXTEEN.
The Hearing Occupied All Day Yesterday and
Will Be Continued on Tuesday Of
Next Week.
SHE IS NOT YET SIXTEEN.

UxBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. 12.-The trial of
DIR. Joseph A. Bacon, formerly of Central
Falls, r. l., for alleged felonious assault
upon Georgiana e. Clapp Of this place was
tried before Judge Putnam in the District
Court yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Susan M. Clapp, mother of the girl,
was the first witness. She said her daugh-
ter had worked out several times for fam
lilies, doing housework. Jan. 22 she came
home from the last place and Jan. 26 Mrs.
Britton informed her of what had hap
was in family way.
The next witness was Georgiana herself,
and better witness was never seen in the
court room. She said she was Is years
old and had been assaulted seven times by
the defendant. She described the times,
places and occurrences very minutely. She
was on the stand over and hour and finally
broke down and cried.
The girl testified she submitted to the
doctor because she was afraid of him.
She also said he had given her pills, but
she did not know what they were for.
The discrimination, which was con-
Quoted by Counsel William j. Taft, was
promptly answered by her.
She is an attractive girl and apparently
IL or IS years Of age.
DR.. Z. l. Balcom said that he was the
Clapps' family physician, and said the
girl asked him for some pennyroyal pills
once, but he said he had none. He
described the nature of the pills.
Mrs. Ida Britton. neighbor of the Clapp
family, said Georgiana had worked for her
and had told the story to her. She, in turn,
told the girls mother.
Counsel William j. Taft for the defense
said his witnesses would deny the state
ments of the witness, and he produced
several witnesses to testify to the doc 5or's
good reputation, among whom were DR..
Hartman, DR.. Johnson, DIR. Sullivan,
Arthur Proctor, Frank Fraser and Michael
Flarrity.
DIR. Bacon took the stand and denied the
charges against him. He said it was a case
of attempted blackmail.
The doctor came to Whitinsville five or
six years ago from Central Falls, r. l.,
where his parents live. He has had of late
a large practice in Whitinsville and the
surrounding villages.
He is about 50 years old, and is gradu-
ate of the Univerity of Vermont and OF
Johns Hopkins University. About four
years ago he married Miss Emma Nc
Sheehy, daughter of Daniel McSheehy OF
Whitinsville

DISTRICT COURT DOINGS.
DETECTIVE EEiABERLIN1AS A HARD
STRUGGLE WITH A PRISONER.
The Mao Wanted to Pawn Suit Of Clothes
For $l-Other Cases.

William Smith of this city went to the
Hub Loan Company yesterday afternoou
and offered to pawn new suit of clothes
for 81. Detective Haberlin, who was in
the vicinity, considered his conduct
worthy of investigation, and after he left
the pawnshop went in pursuit of him. The
man started to run, but was caught i'm
front of the Misft Clothing Parlors.
When caught he offered considerable re-
sistance and an expressman assisted the
officer to take him to the box at the cor
ner of Main and Dexter streets. He was
locked up over night, and this morning
was fined s2 and costs in the District
Court. He claimed to live at number on
East avenue which does not exist.
Officer Rockford picked up the strangest
character yesterday afternoon that has
been seen at the station for a long time
When the officer found him he was en-
gagged In apparent devotions, and was
taken to the station as religious crank.
After his arrival the station was very
noisy, and between prayers, curses and
abuse OF everyone he saw, those around
the station had rather an uncomfortable
time Of 1t. The man was very anxious to
know II Chief Rice could pray and desired
him to give sample of his ability by
repeating the Lords Praye. moment
later he rambled off a description of his
mother and continued on varied topics
until II o'clock last night when he fell
asleep, much to the relief of everyone
at the station.
This morning he awoke apparently in a
sober frame of mind and when brought
into court at first pleaded not guilty and
afterward changed his plea to guilty OF
being disorderly person. He was sent to
the State Workhouse for six months. The
amusing part of 1t was that no one could
detect the odor of liquor on his breath.
This morning he said he had had but two
glasses of a well known brand OF ale, and
an officer nearby remarked that II he had
taken two more he would probably have
been dead when found.
The only other case in court was that of
simple drunk, who was discharged.

Home STRETCH.
Teachers Contest Ends Two
Weeks From Today.
Interest is Not Confined to This
City and Central Falls Alone.
Miss Carey Leads the Pawtucket List With
Miss Curran First In Central Falls.

Two weeks from tonight the grand con-
test, which was inaugurated by the TRIB-
UNE for the benefit of the teachers in the
public schools Of this city and Central
Falls, will be brought to close. It Is i'm
perative that each candidate shall have
every vote in on or before s o'clock that
evening.
Miss Carey is still In the lead, but the
margin is so small that few votes would
make decided change In the standing.
Miss Martin is, or at least her friends are
making splendid fight, and according to
reports few of the other candidates will
forge to the front before long to help make
the contest more interesting.
The candidates in Central Falls are not
far behind their Pawtucket friends in
point of votes received. 1t is known that
large number of votes are being held
back in that city, and it would not sur
prise anyone to see a new leader at any
time.
Miss Woods, although her name was en-
tered late in the contest, Is steadily gain
ing. Her total vote is gradually increas-
ing, and before the middle of the coming
week she may be contesting for first hon
ors with the two leading candidates.

"GARRY OWEN"

Tony Farrell and His Clever Company at
the Opera House.
Tony Farrell and his clever company
opened at the Opera House last evening
for three night stand in the well-known
Irish play, "Garry Owen" There is but
little change in either play or company
since its last production here. "Garry
Owen" is undoubtedly one of the strong
est plays of its character on the road, and
Tony Farrell Is one of the best of Irish
comedians. Tony Farrell was greeted by
one of the largest houses of the season and
the play found ready favor. AS to the
star, he is the same clever Tony of old, and
his singing was encored whenever the
audience had an opportunity. In the
second act he was twice recalled, and the
fact that on his previous visits he has
made many friends was manifest. Jennie
Leland, his clever wife, is just as bright as
ever.
The work of the veteran William B. Ca
hill Is deserving Of special mention. This
Conscientious artist was seen at his best
last night, and his acting is an extremely
good piece of character work. He is the
same "Nickey Hickey" of old, and his
work indicates as much care as it did
wnen he first created the part. Marie
verna as Kate Purcell was excellent, she is
also possessed Of a sweet soprano voice,
and rendered "Killarney" very acceptably,
and was called upon to respond to an en-
core. Her duet with Jules Cluzette was
also well received. The remaining mem
bers of the company, Harriet Hale, Frank
Kilday, Jack Simonds and Fred Harrison,
filled their parts In the cast very capably.
Regarding the play itself IL Is too familiar
to require description, and will doubtless
attract large houses during its run in this
city

In THE APPELLATE COURT
GEORGE A. LEONARD INSTITUTES
PROCEEDINGS FOR EALSEA2REST
He Was the Keeper at the Orient Paper Works
During the Legal Controversy.

Considerable business was transacted in
the various Providence courts today, both
criminal and civil. The following are
some of the most important cases:
George A. Leonard, through his attor-
ney Hugh j. Carroll, has brought suit
againit Deputy Sheriff Winslow of Provi-
dence for false arrest and malicious prose-
cution, and the damages claimed are
$4,000.
1t will be remembered that the deputy
had Leonard arrested for retaining money
for goods sold while acting as keeper in
the establishment of the Orient Paper
Company on Brook street. The court
found Leonard not guilty and the present
suit is the outcome.
