DREW LARGE CROWDS
Royal Italian Band Opens Second
. Engagement Here.

Ellery's Royal Italian Band opened a re-
turn engagement Of four nights and two
matinees at the Metropolitan theater yes
terday afternoon, and both afternoon, and
evening concerts We're we'll attended by
music lovers who had either heard the
great band during its former visit here, or
who had been advised of it's merits by
friends. However, Through misunder-
standing, fully half of the afternoon
audience arrived late, the concert begin
ming at o'clock instead OF $3.50 as usual,
and no announcement having been made
OF the change. ,..-.
The Royal Italian band is an admirable
organizations; one CT the best of it's kind.
Among the works presented last even
ing were the fantasia from Bizet's Gear
men, the familiar Lucia" sextette, and
the tremendous 'Tannhauser' overture,
each one of which evoked salvos of ap-
plause from the audience. Miss Clara
Williams appeared at the afternoon con-
cert and sang, II Will Extoll Thee,'' with
much feeling and sympathy. For an en-
core she gave Greig's ''solvejg Leid." A
selection which evoked much enthusiasm
at the afternoon concert was Suppes
famous overture. "Poet and Peasant
To-night's program is as follows: =
Part 1.-March, 'Phillipovich," Schm1d;
overture, Tampa Herold; harp solo (se-
lected), Miss Heintzen; La Favorita' (act

THE ms. CO.'S ENEMY
APPLIES. THE TORCH FOR GAIN
Cases Told OF by Fire Insurance
NIan-Some Clever Fire
kindlinS.

MANY are the wiles used to defraud the
fire insurance companies said an in
surance man day or two ago. The I'M
initiated would never believe that so large
a number of fires are started solely for
the purpose of collecting the insurance
upon some stock which has lost it's value
or become unmarketable. The ways taken
to elude discovery are often most in
genious." He continued:
l recall a large dry goods house in Wiscon-
sin which was destroyed by fire and so clever
was the arrangement that the insurance writ
ers were absolutely unable to prove any
thing agains. the owners.
The proprietor placed g. large CanAe in his
store window and offered prize to the per-
son guessing nearest to the time it would
take it to burn. He had previously obtained
permission from the, insurance people to do
this. The candle was made OF very soft wax
half way down, and it was SO timed that the
fire would reach the soft wax when few per-
sons were about. When the flame burned
down to the soft wax, the candle collapsed
and ignited the decorations in the window
The fire spread SO rapidly that the entire
building was soon in flames.
AS the insurance company had granted per-
mission for the candle to be placed In the
window it had no excuse and had to foot the
bill. e-..,
Another equally ingenious case was that
of man who had the insurance company
send q man to string wires for electric lights
in window decorated with cotton batting to
represent snow. After week or so the wires
were short-circuited, ostensibly by mistake
In about ten minutes the cotton batting began
to smoke and blaze here and there. Inc
PROPRIETOR was called, as no one knew just
how to get into the window from behind He
hurriedly crept through the little trap door
and then he pretended to be overcome by the
smoke. Selling an iron stand, he smashed
out the plate glass front of the window. This
created draught which at once turned the
window into roaring furnace. The elevator
shaft was Just behind. The flames Travelled
nm this and the building was almost tota'
loss. In both cases the insurance company
brought suit, but the trick had peen sc
shrewedly prepared that the company was
obliged to pay. -.
Another ingenious If rather crude attempt
occurred in an eastern city few years ago
The man who owned the house attacneu
string on the end Of which was large piece
of meat to a candle and placed the canoie VI
a table beneath which was neap OIL vi
:. aked rags, He then left the house, leaV-
i, the cellar door open. When evening came
the family cat emerged from his retreat IN tne
basement and in search of food ne came
mon the piece of meat, upset the canoie aho
tented the rags exactly as planned me nre
was slow in spreading and the nelgnoors uAs
covered the trick. sa

not UP TO SCRATCH !:
Conclusions Of Board Of G. and c. as
to Workhouso.
TESTIMONY WAS CONFLICTING
Disbursements Between the Superin-
tendent and His Subordinates Ap-
pear to BE Very Frequent.

After four hours devoted to the hear
ing Of the details of the troubles at the
city Workhouse, Messrs. Moore, R1nehart
and Russell, majority OF the board OF
corrections and charities came to the con-
clusion that discipline and administra-
ton at the workhouse were not up to the
usual standard. Among those heard were
Superintendent Mcdonald. Clerk Hoban,
Gardiner Reick, Hall Master Haehn,
Thomas Leonard, a prisoner who tried to
escape, and others.
The testimony disclosed the fact that
there had been much pickering between
Superintendent Mcdonald and his subor-
dinates, that many irreconcilable differ
ences existed between him and them, that
there had been serious lapses of discipline
and probably more or less frequent re-
sort to brutal methods with prisoners.
1t was charged by Clerk Hoban that
Mrs. Mcdonald had assumed a large share
of the prerogatives Of the superintendent
and that she took an unWarranted d.
rection of workhouse affairs. It was on
her orders, he said, that Helen Wilson,
the colored woman, had been put in SOL
itary confinement, been kept on a bread
and-water diet for thirteen days and
