UNLUCKY INTERFERENCE. Approximate Length, 127 feet.
Price, $15.24.
A subject well rendered and of amusing nature. Several boys annoy a coal dealer who, in his efforts to catch the miscreants, collides with a lady in white and besmirches her immaculate garments. After much further annoyance, one of the boys is finally caught and a chastisement administered, when a number of students in duck suits happen along and one of them goes to the rescue of the boy. He is unable to successfully handle the proposition and all take a hand, when the man mounts his coal cart and empties the contents of a basket of coal dust upon his antagonists. He now concludes to move along, and leaves the unlucky interferers in a woeful plight, sadder, but wiser.

An automatic cleaning appliance is seen at work and investigated by a number of inquisitive fellows. Under cover of darkness they purloin a vacuum cleaner and they are soon seen at a street corner with the apparatus in full operation, annoying passersby by the current of air created. An officer passing loses his helmet, which is drawn into the vacuum chamber. Going down the street they cause the monster to consume various property.
Coming to a lodging house a room is engaged by one of the men, and going to the window his associates pass the mouth of the tube into the room and various bric-a-brac and furniture is caused to find its way into the receiving chamber, but owing to the force and weight of various plunder the side of the vacuum chamber is burst out and the appurtenances scattered over the street. The landlord, becoming aware of the plot against him, summons the police, and the first to respond is the unfortunate officer who lost his helmet, which he now finds on the street. The members of the party are scattered and their equipment confiscated.
Very amusing and good detail throughout.
