Will Explain the Scheme Splendid

Outlines of Proposed Movement.
A new and Important step in the
educational movement of Scranton will
be inaugurated this eveninsin connec
tion with the formal opening of the
evening educational olasses at the
loung Men's Christian association
rooms, when the projected industrial
training eobool will be in cart estab
lished. For some time General Secre
tary Mahy has been quietly bat effec
tively agitatinit the necessity of these
elasses in Seranton, and Colonel Boies
and various gentlemen of eminence in
tbe city have endeavored to stimulate
public opinion to supply this great de
fect in losal educational facilities. Tbe
matter was recently put into praotioal
shape when the chief secretary of the
Young Men's Christian association,
Mr. Hodge, of New York, addressed a
large and influential meeting of Soran
toniana at the residence of Colonel
Boles, and evidently excited some in
terest in the question when he referred
to Scranton as being a notable excep
tion in offering advantagas for indus
trial training.
THE INDUSTRIAL CLASSES.
A, W. Dickson, president of the
YouDg Men's Christian Association,
who takes a keen interest in tbe ques
tion, will preside (over .the meeting at
8 p. in. this evening and will explain
more fully the objects of tbe classes,
but it may be briefly indicated that
carpentry olasses will be established
where a thorough theoretical and prac
tical course of lessons will be given
commencing witb tbe simple "joints"
in carpenter's work and increasing
gradually until tbe young pupils will
he able to master the iutrioate points
in bench work,
Every form of "joint" known to the
profession will be taught and other
branches will be tauibt so that the
value of the lesaous to the future car
penters of Scranton cannot be over-estimated,
Builders who always place
so much value on neatness and acour
aoy in work will hail with delight this
much needed innovation. Wood turn
ing will also be taught as soon as the
necessary power for maohine work can
be arranged for.
Ihe classes which, at first sight, ap
pear practieiilly illimitable in their
scope, will ineiuie other branohes of
manual training such as biaher math
ematics, mechanical, architectural, and
tree baud drawing, as well as experi
mental mechanics algebra and geom
etry.
INSTRUCTORS IN DRAWING.
The mechanical and architectural
drawing department will be taught by
a. W. liowley and A. JS. Sloan, of the
Dickson Manufacturing company,
Mr. Rowley, who is bead draughtsman,
has experience in conducting these
classes and a number of his pupils hold
responsible positions in manufacturing
establishments as a result of their even
ing studies.
C. F, Eoyt, a graduate of Cornell
university, and formerly teacher in the
manual training department of Michi
gan university, will have charge of the
wood work and experimental elasses.
It is unnecessary to dwell on tbe im
portance of this step not only in tbe
interest of the young men of the city,
but also in the interests of tbe business
men who desire clean, neat and accur
ate work.
The ordinary departments of evening
educational olasses will be explained at
their reception this evening. They in
clude the English branches, arithmetic,
eto , by John L. Richards, graduate of
Bloomaburg State Normal school;
business course, penmanship, book
keeping, eta fend vocal music, conduct
ed by Tallie Morgan.
The annual membership of tbe asso
ciation being only $7 for all privileges,
including as many classes as tbe appli
cant has time to take up, gives every
one an opportunity of embracing tbe
advantages offered. An excellent pro
gramme has been arranged for this
evening's reception.
PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.
The condition of Professor George Pow.
ell is slightly improved, though he is still
in a precarious state.
Tbe training school has a flourishing at
tendance, tbe number of scholars, thirty
five, being the largest in its history.
The High school furnace was being re
paired yesterday, which occasioned a dis
missal of the students owing to the cold
weather.
The High school has a large attendance.
Tbe higher preparatory classes are also
larger, the number of students being
greater than ever before.
Controller Mitchell, of the First ward,
whose serious malarial illness of lost sum
mer was followed by poor health, is re
gaining bis accustomed vigor.
That tbe new No. 12 school in the Eigh
teenth ward is urgently needed was shown
by the attendance whioh taxes the build
ing's capacity to lts'utmost limit
The school supplies are not being re
ceived in large quantities owing to delays
by the shippers. They are being delivered
at the schools as rapidly as possible under
tbe circumstances.
Ray W. Keesler, of Brandt, Pa., spent
Tuesday night at the home of Superin
tendent G. W. Phillips. He was en route
to tbe University of Pennsylvania to enter
the law department.
Building operations will begin this fall
on a new Third ward school house on tbe
east side of West Market street, near
Seneca street, on two lots purchased from
O'Boyle and O'Malley for $1,150.
No. 3 school could not accommodate the
scholars who applied for admission and
the overflow is occupying rooms in the
Hickory Street Presbyterian church, which
have been rented for the purpose.
The contract for erecting the now high
school building will be executed this week
with Conrad Schroeder. He will furnish
two bonds to the total amount of 25,000
and will begin excavating immediately.
Tbe formal complaint submitted by the
board of control to the board of health
concerning the lard-trying business in
t'arr's market, adjoining the preparatory
school, will be considered at the next meet
ing of the health board.
Controller Jennings, of the Fourteenth
ward, is an enthuslastio fireman and per
formed his duty with the Hook and Lad
eer company in Tuesday's parade. It Is
said of him that be was one of the mem
bers who, in the early history of the com
pany, went in carriages to a fire which
was raging near a brewery and saved the
beer establishment after a fierce battle
with the flames. Tbe story is graphically
related by Colonel F. J. Fltzslmmons.
On and after Monday, October 1st, the
train from Lake Ariel which arrives In
Scranton at 8.20 a.m. will be discontinued.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

expressed.
IP ft OF. DAVIES ANSWERS. -
Editor of Tnit Tribcri:
Bin: In answer to Mr. Carter's letter
(written by pioxj) in Tuesday's Tribune,
let me say that I thoroughly agree with
him that thongh mosqnltos are small, they
are very annoying during tbe short space
ui time iney are permitted to live, out
there is always one consolation they go
out of existence with the cold weather,
but Mr. Mosquito Carter is evidently not
of that breed.
From the very first week of his residence
in this city he has been flying around
poisoning tbe minds of the people of this
city against the resident musicians. It is
indeed very strange that nearly one hun
dred thousand people, could have been
fooled in all tbe past years that this town
possessed great musical talent both vocally
and instrumentally, only to be awakened
from their delusion by Mr. Carter of Olean,
who makes no secret of his views regard
ing tbe general ignorance of the music
ians and the people of the city.
His letter is just what might be ex
pected. He pretends to acoept the chal
lenge of Haydn Evans to play on the
organ, but in reality accepts the challenge
for the piano forte, and names bis own
conditions. I presume should contest be
arranged Mr. Carter would ngain make an
excuse to visit his "ma-ma," as he did
when he was to play Rossini's "Stabat
Mater" for D. Protheroe recently.. He
must accept Mr. Evans' challenge to play
on the organ, pay th money or.ceaBehis
vain boasts.
Since Mr. Carter charges my letter with
having so many '-falsehoods," I might ex
pect from George Carter the virtues of
George Washington in telling the truth.
Scanuing through his frail remarks, I am
greatly disappointed in this respect. He
speaks as though I had made claims of
having imparted superior instructions,
whereas I have made no snch claims and
even now I think it rather inexpedient to
do so. With tbe exception of four years
spent pursuing a musical education with
Dr. Joseph Parry, in Swansea, Wales, and
Dr. Frederick J. Karn, London, I have
lived within the radius of fifteen miles of
Hcranton from my childhood. In the oast
five years of my experience as a teacher of
vocal culture, musical theory and composi
tion in Scranton, I may claim of hav
ing turned out a fair number of vocal
ists and have prepared nineteen candidates
who have passed examinations for the de
gree of bachelor or music, two having
taken gold medals for their excel
lency of paper work and composition, un
der such examiners as Dr. Lonehnrst of
Canterbury cathedral, the late Dr. W. A.
Garrett, editor London Musical Times and
Dr. E. J. Hopkins, the comnoser and
greatest living authority on the organ and
organ playing. Mr. Carter seems to crowd
the vocalists of the world against that of
little Wales, with Its scanty Douulation of
one and a balf million. By the way where
has Mr. Carter been breatbiug the air of
this planet? A reputable gentleman
who lived somewhere near tbe would-be
artist's former borne, informs his friends
that our rival to Anton Rubenstien and
Ignaz ' Paderewski was known in fair
Oiean as a player of dance mnsic Should
this modern Apollo turn his time to com
position he would doubtless disnlav won
derful rhythmic variety in forms of polkas,
tuacuLoa, miuueis, mazuncas, ooieros,
fandangos, brawls, maypoles, hornpipes,
rigandous, reels and pigues. Bach
the youngar. Papa Haydn, Beeth
oven and Wagner might be. burled
in atombof nonentity, outclassed bv suzar-
coated crotchets audquaters of the "Sweet
uye ana eye" oraer. ir. carter claims of
having been a pupil of Mr. Dudley Buck.
Tbe famous American comnoser on beine
told of this assumption by a prominent
vocalist of this city, refuted the truth of
the statement. Mr. Carter admited to the
late director of the Elm Park church choir
that he. Carter, had not seen a copy of tbe
Messiah, the most popular oratorio the
world has ever known, until last year. . Is
it then any wonder that bis reDertorv is
scant and falls baok on childish melodies
wanting even of a single modulation and
be rjoon-noolied At Mlfth an jinthnritv nfl
the London Musical Times, which Is read
tne worm over, wbore Knglisn speaking
musicians exist. Mr. Dyfed Lewys, of
London, declared that Mr. Carter's accom
paniments to his singing at Elm Park
church was the most abominable he ever
heard. Mr. Carter denies reference to
Senior Del Pueati,and wishes to infer that
he did tbe tapping to tbe side walls of his
classical structure as a sudden sign for
transposition to a remote key. Hum!
Strange that such a thing should occur in
the middle of a vocal performance. Now
Mr. Carter Infonns all concerned tbat be
has played at Reinbergers Pastoral sonata,
out uia not annonce it. wnat a pity I
What did Miss Leonora Von Stoscb sav
of bis accompaniment to her violin solos?
Well, it would not reflect much credit on
Mr. Sherwood were it told here.
Until today we were led to believe that
all Scranton musicians were in the RiD
Van Winkle drama. Now the curtain
raises with something more encouraging.
George Noyes Rockwell is now acknowl
edged to be an organist of groat abilities.
But since there is not a musician in town
Mr. Rockwell must be satisfied with being
an organist. Mr. Carter wishes to justify
bis abilities as a reader of music to the
fact tbat he has been re-engaged at the
Elm Park church. This the organist no
doubt thinks is a great condescension on
bis part toward Scranton, but to me re
flects limp generosity on the part of those
who engaged him. Let me give bere in
parallel column j the words of Mr. Carter
on what a pianist should be, as printed in
last Sunday's News and in bi letter in the
Tribunk:
News "A pianist is
Tribune." An to my
ability to read music
is questioned, I think
my re-onKat'ement at
Elm Park church is
sullicleut evidence of
the satisfactory per
formance of my du
ties. As to "slicht

heard of Paderewski
playing at sight, or
a master of the Instru
ment and reads all

The above is enough to show that this
man Is not responsible for the statements
he make. As be would have us under
stand above PaderiwiBkl Is not a pianist,
ana wnue our own jur.Kocitweii is an able
organist, he is not a musician. As to
what Mr. Carter is, may be a problem
safely loft to a German philosopher to
solve. Haydn Evans is not easily bluffed,
and I understand that tbe challenge test
wonld be a well developed fugue, accom
paniments of oratorio choruses, and a se
lection played from full orchestral score.
How are you on reading from C clefs, Mr.
Carter? Since that our advocate of high
art (fy should be beyond doubt an educated
musician, suppose he wonld pnrsue tbe
order taken by othor professions. The
young school teachers must present
their examination certificate, the Medical
Doctor his sheepskin from some uni
versity, the lawyer and preacher must
give a line evidence, suppose be taxes an
examination at tbe American College of
Musicians, tbe College of Organists, or an
university musical degree, and have other
evidence than bis own as to his superiority.
Tbe attempt may proveCapntmortuum."
Mr. Carter, show us tbe result of what
you claim as a . teacher through your
pupils, play organ masio that is worthy of
your hire, less ostentation and brawl is
more becoming to one of your inabilities
and inexperience. "Life is short, art Is

sighed to rest me," inthe bud of life, "Re
ductio ad absurdium." Yours oto ,

OF IHE JURY
Case of Thomis Ricb Against D. & E d Co.
' Finished Yesterday.
ASKED BINDING INSTRUCTIONS
Ex-Judge Jessup Made a Lengthy
Argument, but Judge Archbald Re
fused to Give Such Instructions.
Action of Miss Winifred Barrett
Against the Borough of Blakely.
Burr Case Is Still on Trial.
When court, opened yesterday morn
ing ex-Judge W. H Jessup asked
Jndge Gunster to give binding instruc
tions to the jury for the defendant in
tbe cose of Thomas Rich against the
Delaware and Hudson Canal company.
Mr, Jessop made a lengthy argument
in support of his motion for binding
instrnctlons but the arguments be ad
dueed were not sufficient to convince
Judge Gunster that the defendant
company was entitled to binding in
straetions.
Arguments were then made to the
jury by Mr. Jessup for tbe defendant
and Attorney S. B. Prioe for the plain
tiff. Judge Gunster at 2 p. m., began
his charge to the jury. It was a dear
and lucid exposition of tbe evidence in
the case and the law bearing thereon.
About 8.80 the jury retired. It bad
not agreed up to the time court ad
journed.
Ihe trespass suit or Miss Winifred
Barrett, of Jessup, against the borough
of Blakely, was beard before Judge
Furst in court room No. 3 yesterday.
Attorney Joseph O'Brien and District
Attorney John P. Kelly were the fair
plaintiff's legal representatives, and
Attorneys Ward and Horn appeared
for the borough.
DROPPED INTO A HOLE.
Miss Barrett alleges that on Aug. 1,
1801, she was riding over the Carbon-
dale turnpike in Blakely borough in
company witb her sister, The carriage
ran into an unprotected ditch in the
roadway and Miss Bsrrett was thrown
oat and severely injured about the
bead, back and hips. She says that ber
injuries are permanent and wants dam
ages to recompense ber.
Lx-Judue Ward opened the case for
the defense. It contends tbat the hole
in the roadway was caused by the ruin.
A diteh had been dag for a water pipe,
and after it was filled, the rain caused
the earth to settle about ten inohes,
which made tbe bole into which tbe
carriage occupied by the plaintiff sank.
ah oi yesterday was consumed be
fore Judge Edwards ia court room No.
3 in listening to the testimony for the
defense in tbe case of Charles A. Burr
against John Kase and H. Stone. As
heretofore stated, the defendants deny
tbat the property passed into the pos
session of Mr. .asi under an agreement
that it should be deeded back to Dr.
Burr after certain conditions had been
complied with. It is also claimed that
tbe sale of tbe property to Stone was
bona flde.
