OPERA SCORED A SUCCESS
: ' ' - - r r'; ,
Chimes of Normandy Sung in an Ex
cellent Manner at Acadcmv.
ROLES CLEARLY. INTERPRETED
Professor Richard Lindsay Has Reason to
Foci Proud of tho l ino Work That
Was Done by His Young
People Last Night.
The Scranton Oratorio society, under
the direction of Professor Richard
Lindsay, ' scored a distinct success at
the Academy of Music list evening in
the "Chimes of Normandy," a very
tuneful opera.
Owing to the frequent encores and
the delays Incident to a first perform
ance by an amateur company the cur
tain did not go down on the Inst act
of the opera until after 11 o'clock. The
large audience received the opera in a
most enthusiastic manner, as It de
served to be, fur the work of Scranton's
amateurs, assisted by Mine. Louise
Nutall and Henry C. Peakes, was su
perior to that of members of many
professional companies who have sung
the opera in this city.
Taking into consideration that the
chorus was almost, If not wholly, made
up of amateurs, with pruetlcully no
experience of dramatic music and the
consquent stage work, the rendition
of the opera last evening in such an
excellent manner adds materially to
the praise showered upon the chorus
and their talented conductor. The
lades, particularly, were most efficient
In their pieces and quick to catch the
spirit of the opera. It was not an eusy
matter to discover traces of the ama
teur in their actions.
Mme. Na toll's Fine Work.
As Germuliie, Mme. Louise Natall
acted her part to the least detail. She
Is evidently Imbued with the spirit of
that role and sung and acted It fault
lessly. Her sweet voice was displayed
to great advantage In the pretty music.
Miss Jullu Allen exceeded even the an
ticipations of iher friends as Serpolette,
a part full of difficulties to the amateur.
Her interpretation was splendid, the
dramatic talent she displayed being n
revelation to the audience.
Henry C. Peakes, as Gaspard, the
miser, has established a reputation in
connection with this part and he sus
tained the same last night in every re
spect. As Henri, Marquis of Cornevllle,
John T. Watkins was an Ideal marquis
and scored a great success In the rendi
tion of his solus. Although suffering
from hoarseness, he displayed great
power In Interpreting operatic music.
His solos were heartily encored.
John J. Gleeson was successful In the
role of Orenlcheux, although he only
hjad a few days to study it, the young
man who was rehearsing that part with
the company 'having been taken sk'k.
Daniel Jordan, as the Bailll, and Will
Coyne, as the Notary, made a most
favorable impression In these charac
ters. The other roles were also In
competent hands.
DEATH OF THOMAS L MORGAN.
He Was a Noted Welsh Author and One of
the Most Respected Residents of the
West Side.
Thomas Llyfnwy Morgan, the Welsh
author and writer, died very suddenly
at his home on Jackson street yester
day morning at 2.30 o'clock. Very few
knew of his Illness, which In any event
had been considered but slight, and the
news of his sudden death was a shock
to all that knew ihlm. To the Welsh
literary people of Wales and this coun
try he was well known, for he has
been a writer to the Welsh press, a
noted essayist and historian and a lead
er In eisteddfod matters for the past
forty years.
He was born In the quaint village on
Monknash, near the ancient castle of
St. Donat, on the English channel, in
the vale of Glamorgan, South Wales,
on May 4, 1831. Always active and
young, for he refused to be an "old
man," full of good nature, a true friend,
never known to refuse a kindness If In
his power to grant it, it Is no wonder
that he had hosts of friends, who sin
cerely mourn his death.
He was ithe father of Tallle Morgan,
of this city. The other children are
Professor J. L, Morgan, A. L. Morgan
and Glynn Morgan, of Forest City, and
Cass. Cadlvor, Emrys, Golyddan and
Miss Olwen Morgan, of this city. The
funeral will take place from the family
residence on Jackson street tomorrow
afternoon at 2 o'clock, the Rev. R. S
Jones, of Providence, officiating.
WILL OPEN MONDAY NIGHT.
Food Exposition Promises to Boa Great
Success.
On the coming Monday evening tho
doors of the large drill room at the
armory will be thrown open to the
Scranton public for the first pure food
exposition ever held in this section of
the state. The floor space is being laid
out Into broad avenues down which the
visitor can walk and Inspect on each
side the booths and goods displayed.
TIM entire affair Is under the direct
management of Louis W. Buckley,
originator of these exposition and
general manager of the food exposition
circuits. It Is 'held under 'the auspices
of the Press club, and, as in other cities
Is sure to prove 'a society fad long be'
fore Its doors close on the weeks' stay,
Miss E. W. Cross, principal of the In'
ternatlonal Cooking school, of Wash
ington, D. C, will be present each after
noon and evening and will deliver prac
tlcal cookery talks. In securing the 1m
perlal Hungarian Court orchestra the
management have made an excellent
choice to please the lovers of music In
Scranton. Amongst the selections will
be the overture "William Tell;" Inter-
,meszo, "Cavallera Rustlcana," "Prln
cess Bonnie" selections, Hungrolse La
Belle Russe, together with many popu
lar airs of the day.
The exposition opens at 7 o'clock on
Monday evening, and -the managemen
have very wisely fixed the price of ad
mission at the popular one .of 25 cents.
In addition to the many features and
samples that will be given out, each
lady purchasing a ticket in the after
noons from i to 6 will receive free a
large box of Atlantic City Salt Water

meal: .
Statement of Directors.
Soveral Important improvementshave
been made during the year, and others
are under way. The new fire-proof
building for suno women, In course of
construction at the time of our last
report, has been completed and 4s now
occupied. The conduit, through which
Bteam pipes run from the boiler 'house
to the buildings, has also 'been finished,
and though the expenditure for this
Item may seem large, it was not only
necessary, but will ultimately prove a
work of economy by the lesser cost of
repairs of pipes, and by avoiding the
danger of damage In making excava
Hons for such repairs. The men's
building (formerly women's) was the
first building erected at Hillside Home
after 4ts. acquisition by the district. It
had fallen lito bad repair, and the
plumbing and steam fitting were not
such as sanitary officers would approve,
We have made extensive improvements
on It during the year and it Is now al
most ready to be occupied.
The necessity of more farm land has
long been felt by the directors. The
district had for many years been leas
ing pasture for Hs cattle at a cost of
$300 a year, and the board felt Inclined
to Increase the number of horned cattle
so as to trive a larger supply of milk
for the Home. We have purchased
during the year forty acres of land at
$40 per acre, and hold under contract
100 additional acres At the same rate.
The price Is low, the other proposals
to sell land contiguous to our farm a,p
proxlmatinfr $100 an acre. The fertility
of the -farm may be judged from the
fact that we harvested 200 bushels of
potatoes an acre from It this season.
The Increase in the expenditure for
outdoor relief over last year Is account
ed for by the decisions of court, ren
dered early in the year, which greatly
Increased the class of cases dn which
outdoor relief may be legally given over
what was held during the year preced
Ing. Our system of administration of
outdoor relief Is highly commended by
the best authority, as being calculated
to prevent fraud upon the district, and
In no case is relief granted until a
searching investigation has been made
into the needs of the applicant.
, A Vory Sad Case.
Mrs. Nettle Vandermarks, a refined
looking lady, told 'the board a pitiable
story. She had been married fourteen
y.:ura'age and her 'husband, who was a
prosperous carpenter, deserted her
three weeks'ago, leaving her and three
children absolutely destitute. Director
Murphy was requested to give the
necessary assistance.
Superintendent Beemer reported that
there were 154 In the Home us compared
with 143 last month. Four Inmates ha
died since the last meeting. Dr. Evans
reported that there were 63 sane
patients and CI insane. Total in the
Home, 2CS.
The Home committee reported that
they were engaged In preparing new
rules for (roverivlng the insane depart
ment and it was decided to hold a spe
clal meeting of the board on' Tuesday
to consider the report. The outdoor
physicians, Drs. Gunster, Paine, Mur
phy,. Donne and Mauley submitted their
annual and monthly reports. Mrs,
Swan drew attention to the Increase In
