B0NI CAN'T SAIL
Two Other Italians Played
the Handkerchief Game
and Stole His S5 90-- One
Is Held.


Patrolman Wickhau, of the Seventh
street police station, yesterday arrested
Charles Del Tello, of No. 134 Washing
ton street, n. Y, on the complaint of
Jon Boni, who was on his way back to
Italy after having accumulated nearly
$500, and who accused Del Tello of
swindling him out of his savings by using
the old time handkerchief game.
According to Boni's story he was
about to sail yesterday and dropped into
saloon near the Hoboken water 'front.'
When he told the bartender of his in
tended departure for Italy several men,
including Del Tello, got busy. They
rung in on him and two Of them declared
they, too, were going back to Italy They
told Boni of the danger of travelling by
steerage with any amount of money and
after a few drinks succeeded in inducing
him to put his money with theirs and
jointly look out for any attempt at rob
berry. The money of all three was sup
posed to be wrapped in tightly tied
handkerchief and given to Boni The
two swindlers then made some excuse
for departure, saying they would be back
in few minutes. Boni waited and wait
ed. Finally he became suspicious He
united the handkerchief and found a
beautiful assortment of newspaper clip
pings and but three dollars in cash. He
traced Del Tello to this city and had him
arrested, but Del Tello denied knowing
anything about the alleged transactions
None of the money alleged to have been
stolen from Boni was found upon him
when he was searched. It is believed
that Del Tello's pal got away with the
money.
Del Tcllo was arraigncd in the First
Criminal Court this morning and held
for further examination.

1t was thought yesterday that the
backbone of the long, pleasant spell of
September and October weather had been
broken. For nearly month glorious
weather prevailed and those who have
to work outdoors wondered how long

of the hot spell. they had been accustom-

sandwiched in between measley weather.
Yesterdays early sky was that of win

waited from the Atlantic The almost
leafless branches of the trees swayed
and bent double under the strain. A
mean rain driven by the force of the wind
swept into ones face and before seyen
o'clock last night the storm developed
into a small sized hurricane. There
were occasional showers of hail mingling
with that of the rain. and taken alto
gether it was a strenuous wintry even
ing. Few people ventured out of doors,
unless compelled to do. so. The bonn
bardment Of the wind from the east and
southeast was something terrific and
came with the regularity of ocean break

Having repudiated Assemblylnan Rob
ert Scott, who was renominated BY the
Republican County Convention, Mayor
Pagan and George L. Record cannot find
fault if other Republicans repudiate the
Mayor. If the Mayor and Record refuse
to support candidate for Assembly
who in the event of his election will have
a vote for a United States Senator, why
is it not the privilege of Republican
friends Of Scott to vote against the May
orally candidate if they so desire? A
United States Senator is member Of
the national Government A Mayor is a
local official. Because Pagan and Rec
ord regard the office of Mayor as more
importance than that of Assemblyman
or Sheriff Of the County doesn't make it
So The Republican County Committee
having indorsed Scott's candidacy would
be justified in rebnking Mayor Pagan for
his attitude. BY denouncing Col Dick

will tell what a great man the other is
and just before the lights are turned out
they will shout in chorus: 1--WE are the
people of New jersey Colby will open
the meeting byIbombarding both Record
and Pagan with verbal bouquets. He
will tell how Record by one stroke of his
pen made every Republican leader in the
State shake in his boots. How he has
held the grasping corporations at bay

son out of the Republican party Mayor
Pagan will be proclaimed the greatest
Mayor Jersey City ever had. Colby will
insist that the people give him another
term and in return he will make the
promise that EQaal Taxation and every
other law that Jersey City has been clam
oring for will be enacted by the legisla-
ture this winter. Colby. you know. is
going to be elected Senator in Essex

Mayor Pagan is engaged in house-to-
house canvass. If half the stories told
about his methods to get votes are true.
he is the most resourceful politician the
city has ever known. It is just possible
that he may make mistake, before he
gets through and misjudge the man he is
trying to force his views upon. The
Dickinson letter wouldn't be marker to
the sensation that such break would
create. Just as crafty politicians as Jer-

The Mother Girl.

From the Atchison (kan.) Globe.
 An Atchison girl has been mother girl ever since she was a little thing and clung to mothers skirts all day, instead of playing with other little girls And since then she hurried home from school at 4 o'clock to tell mother everything that had happened all day. When she left school she began to help bear the down town, but she still remained a mother girl. Her mother never gave up combing and fixing her hair mornings and letting it down and braiding 1t nights. Her room at home adjoins her mothers and after her hair is braided nights her mother lies on the bed beside her until she falls asleep. The girl bought theatre tickets and always took her mother. Evenings she would go home carrying appetizing little bags from the confec- toners, surprises for her mother But a tragedy happened: A nice-looking young man began walking home with the girl from her work. Then some evenings the door bell rings, and the girl flies to open the door, which closes behind the nice looking young man who has called to spend the evening. He is becoming her escort to the theatre. Some night soon, after her hair is braided. and ner mother lies beside her on the bed there will be a little whispered confidence; it will be dark and the girl will not see the tears when her mother says: I want you to be happy, dear.'

"The Player Maid"

The Jefferson theatre will have an at traction of unusual interest next Satur- day matinee and night, when the young actress. Florence Dayis will make her first appearance in this city under the direction of JelenlIo in the new romantic comedy, "The Player Maid, by Louis Malloy Miss Davis, who comes from d distinguished southern family. is young woman of exceedingly attractive personal ity. who has attained her present posi- ton in the theatrical profession through earnest endeavor and hard work, com bined with artistic temperament and nat ural histronic gifts. Miss Davis began at the lowest rung of the theatre ladder and studied diligently while she played her first small parts in various companies under the direction of Charles Frohman and other managers. It is due to this earnest preparation that she has gained the distinction now attained.
 As Eleanor Hallam, frhe Player Maid" Miss Davis has been furnished with d charming character. admirably suited to her temperament. As the title indicates, the story ol the play has to do with the theatre, always a fascinating subject to the public The period of action is in the time of the famous Garrick, in the year 1750 one of the most brilliant epochs in the history of the English drama. The plot deals with the fortunes of Eleanor Hallam, a gifted young actress in the height of her popularity and fame, at the famous old Drury Lane theatre, then un- der the management of the great trage- dian. Her histrionic genius, keen wit and fine graces of temperament and beauty have made her the idol of the people and the pet of the wits and nobility of that day The action of the play opens in the green room of Drury Lane after a night of great triumph Juliet" Charles Barry, a fellow actor, jealous of the at tenton shown her, piques her pride by telling her of an incident where the Earl of Roxbury refused to accept an invita- ton to be presented to her. This rouses the high temper of the young woman and while in the midst of a characteristic out burst of feeling, Lady Dorothy Hastings, a young heiress, is announced. She pleads with the actress to aid her in escaping marriage arranged for her by her guar uian when she was a mere child. She has just returned to London from Paris, where she has spent most of her years since childhood in convent She Is in love with another man and asks the ac- tress to help her wed the man of her choice. The man she wishes to escape from is none other than the Earl of RoX- bury.
 The interesting nature of the situation appeals quickly and strongly to Eleanor s love of fun and a desire to rebuke the EarE. for his expressed indifference to- wards her, She consents to aid Lady Dor othy and to the consternation of her friends and associates she disappears from London and goes to Lady Dorothy s estate at Gloster Park, where she as- sumes the role of the new mistress and where the Earl of Roxbury comes to woo his promised bride Thinking to find a homey awkward miss, he discovers in- stead a young woman of great beauty who knows the wiles of holding a lover at baV

The coming engagement of Pauline Hall and her opera company at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow matinee and night, promises to be one of the interesting events of the local theatrical season. Only the most favorable reports have been re- oeived of the prima donna's latest oper- atie success, "Dorcas," which, by the bye is the work of Harry and Edward Paul. ton, authors of "Erminie.' So great was the success of the latter opera that the public refused to accept Miss Hall in any thing else After repeated efforts and the reading of innumerabe operatie offerings Miss Hall finally secured "Doreas' from the Messrs. Paulton, who spent three years in writing it. When produced in New York it proved to be one of the great operatic successes of the year and it's metropolitan triumph, it is said, being duplicated on tour.
 Containing d stellar role written espe eially for her. "Dorcas," not only affords the widest range to Miss Halls voice. but il affords her opportunities for displaying of the histronic powers she is known 10 possess The new opera, it is claimed, has been staged in the most elaborate manner, the various settings, It Is said, representing the acme of the scenic art ists' skill The costumes are beautiful and add color to the ensembles
 In these days of NO 2' companies the authoritative announcement by the man. agement that on her appearance here Miss Hall will be surrounded by her original New York company, without the slightest change in the east, is well worth remem- berng. While local theatre-goers have had the opportunity of seeing a number of New YorlIs big successes, it has often happened that they have been presented by inferior casts, the companies having been materially cheapened upon going on tour.
