Mr. J. Willis Conunt will Rive a series of
lmlf-hour organ recitals in St. Luke's
church on each Saturday afternoon ot the
Lenten seuson, similar to those of last
year, as a fitting preludo to the church's
evening service on those days, the music
to be given being not only of high char
acter, but especially chosen as llttiug the
sucred occasion. Owing to misconception
on the part of many persons last year It
Is well to have It expressly understood
that these recitals nre not given as amuse
ments, and It Is nut expected that those
will attend who come onlj: for tho en
joyment of the music.
DR. TALM.U'KS LKCTI UE.
Told of His Trip Around the World ut tho
I'rothinKhuiu.
Key. T. DeWItt Talmngc. P. P., de
livered a lecture on "My Jmirn'y
Aroumi tho World" ut the Fruthlmr
l:am lust night before n fnlr-slzed au
dience, lir. Tulmage Is no lontrer a
yutiiit; mnn, but lie possesses u kindly
face anil expressive eycx that light up
his face when he becomes animated.
His voice Is loud nml resonant, but
not I tu'iiculitt ly pleasing, and his ges
tures! nre few and of n very uncon
ventional knld. At Hist they seem de-
clileiJly awkward, but as the speaker
pi'OHi'eFSes with Ills theme his ges
tures seem to lose their iiwkwnriliiess
and become natural and fitting. Dr.
'"almase l:ttf a peculiar trick, of break
ing ur? abruptly when he reaches the
climax of some of his Impassioned
periods, as If suddenly overcome by the
eniotiens that follow In the train of
the sentiment he Is discussing. He does
It Impressively and it usually has the
effect of Imprinting the, thoughts on the
mind of his auditor in a most forcible
manner.
Beautiful Word Painter.
He Is eloquent In a masterful way,
and can paint a word picture In which
the lights and shadows appear In lan
guage expressive, but delicate. His
vocabulary and store of Information
seems limitless. When Dr. Talmage
appeared on the stage of the Froth
Ingham last night lie was accompanied
by Rev. C. K. Robinson, pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church, who said
he appeared not to Intrjtluee a man
who was so well known to all, but
rather as their personal representative
to welcome him among them.
Without preliminary discourse Dr.
Talmage began to relate the story ot
his travels around the world and said
that after zig-zagglng across the coun
try he embarked on the bosom of the
Pacific ocean and after seven days
landed at the Sandwich Island,
which was then In the throes of the up
heaval that caused the throne of Queen
Lll to totter and fall and In Its place
appear the chair of a president of a
republic.
Doles a Good .Mnn.
The speaker described Mr. Dole, now
president, whom he met, us a. great and
good God-fearing man and he felt that
the Paclilc republic was a perma
nent institution. America, he said, does
not want It, neither does the new re
public want America.
The speaker then told of his visit to
New Zealand and Australia, which he
advised young men to make their
home. .Wonderful Ceylon drew forth
a beautiful tribute and the siege of
Lucknow and massacre at Cawnpore
were vividly and dramatically de
scribed. His visit to the lute emperor
of Russia was told of at length and
he said that the present emperor, whom
he also met at that time, Is a good man
in whose keeping the peace of Kurope is
safe.
From Russia the speaker jumped ab
ruptly to Sandy Hook and drew a word
picture of the scene that met hlH gaze
when he entered the North river.
THIRD CHAMBER CONCERT.
An Excellent Programme Well Received
hvan Appreciative Audience,
Last evening TTie third Chamber con
cert was held In the Young Men's Chris
tian Association hall, when the largest
audience of the series were present
and showed a hearty appreciation of
the programme. The first number, a
trio by Gude, for piano, violin and
cello, was exquisitely rendered by Theo
dore Hemberger, T. II. Itlppard and J.
Willis Conant. John T. Wutklns sang
"The Kii-KIng," one of Schubert's
greatest productions, In good spirit and
with great expression, although suffer
ing from a cold. Schubert's rondo, op.
TO, violin and piano, abounding In dif
ficult pnssages both in tempo and
rhythmical anil executional technicali
ties, were artistically given by Messrs.
Conant and Hemberger.
In his masterly rendition of Schu
man'a "Two Gonnadlers" Mr. Wutklns
displayed the powers of voice which
exactly suited this majestic solo, so
popular In our larger titles. The cllmnx
of the evening culminated In the quar
tette by Mendelssohn, which was re
ceived with prolonged applause. The
concert throughout was a great success
and the artists rendering such n high
standard of music nre worthy of un
stinted support.

and Messrs, Dumbly, of Montgomery,
and Mnnslleld, of Beaver, nre the other
members. Mr. Fow Is fumed for Ills

house.
.Mr. Dambly Is one of the most prom

He Is a newspaper publisher and has

Is chairmun of the mine nnd mining
committee. Tills is acknowledged to be
the most able of the sub-coinmiltees
and it has been sent to this section in
recognition of the fact that this is the
most Important section of the state.
Ucuclvcd Muny ,l'n lie rs.
After supper last evening Messrs,
Slmtten, Gibbons, Tropp, LangHtalY und
Lynett, of the poor board, called upon
the committee with a view of securing
slate aid for the maintenance of the
Indigent Insane. Lackawuima is one of
the few counties that c ares for Its own
Insane nnd they are entitled to an
appropriation of ab'iut $;;r,uw for this
purpose. Alter u full discussion it wus
ugreed that either Representative
O'Malley or Connell would Introduce
a bill to this effect next week. The
committee will visit the Insane depart
ment of the poor board today If possi
ble. Secretary Fistic, of the Lackawanna
hospital, was with the committee.
John K. Roche, C. K. Chittenden, presi
dent of select council, and J. A. Lan
sing, of the board of trade, were also
present and urged the claims of the In
stitution. Dr. W. A. Talne and John II. Reyn
olds waited upon the committee In the
interest of the proposed West Side hos
pital und presented strong reasons why
the appropriation should be granted.
John R. Farr, who was to have been
with the committee, Is confined to his
home by Illness.
Culls Committee Will .Make.
The committee will start at 8 o'clock
this morning and visit the Lackawanna
hospital, the Home for the Friendless
and the Oral School for Deaf Mutes,
for the purpose of investigating the
claims of these Institutions for state
aid. If time permits they will visit
the poor farm in the afternoon and In
the evening proceed to Carbondule,
where they will consider Representa
tive O'Malley's pet hobby, the claim
of the Carbondale hospital for $12,000.
This committee will report to the
general appropriation committee, and
that body will approve and submit their
suggestions to the house In the next
few weeks. It Is to be hoped that the
Lackawuima appropriation will be
passed without any pruning. This Is
expected In view of the fact that the
state will derive a revenue of about
$100,000 from the property of the late
Judge Handley. This was called to the
attention of the committee by Mr.
O'Malley last evening und Impressed
them very favorably.

Testimony was heard before Deputy
Register of Wills Hopkins yesterday in
the proceedings to have the letters of
testamentary granted nn the will of

that his signature to the will was ob
tained by undue Influence. The testi
mony of Charles Dolph, D. S. Cobb a,nd
Mrs. Jodry was heard yesterday nnd
the hearing will be resumed this morn

A TEACHER IN VIEW.
Pouglikcepsie Young Lady May He Placed
in tho Training School.
There was a meeting of the teach
ers' committee of the board of control
last night, Its object being to do some
thing with reference to engaging a
teacher for the training school.
Superintendent Phillips was present
and explained to the committee that lie
had communicated with about a half
doznn good teachers In different parts
of the United States, but that there Is
one In Poughkeepsle that, in bin opin
ion, would fill the bill better than any
other. The recommendation will be
reported at Monday flight's meeting of
the board of control.
THAT OTHER HAXDLEV WILL.
Woelkers, the Servant, Says tho Wrong
One Wus ProhatcJ Sonic Deathbed
Stuiemcnts-Llthcr Judge Hundley Wus
Wandering or tho Mtin Scrvunt Is Mixed.
Frank Woelkers, for many years a
faithful servant and agent of Judge
Handley, believes that there exists a
will signed later than the one probated
Monday.
Wollkers tells a story to the effect
thut the missing will is in the posses
sion of a Mr. Conrad, of Winchester,
now holding a government position at
Washington. Woelkers understanding
In the peculiar matter Is based upon
the utterances of Judge Hundley dur
ing the two days previous to his death,
when, according to reports from the
physicians and Wolkera himself the
sick man was in a muttering and
rambling state of mind most of the
time.
The servant's views are ridiculed by
the executors, who present circum
stances which render the existence of
another bill extrcihly doubtful. To a
Tribune reporter Woelkers said that
evening:
What Judge Handley Said.
"Judge Hundley never told me posi
tively that he proposed leaving me pro
vided lor. Nevertheless, I always had
that belief, for he has assured me on
more thun one occasion that I should
never be in want.
"During the last few days of his life
he mentioned In my hearing a number
of the bequests he had made In his will.
These included the Hyde Park Free li
brary, all the Scranton churches, indi
viduals and also the Institutions men
tioned in the probated wll. Concern
ing the Hyde Park library, he said, it
will have the most beautiful building In
Scranton and money enough to last It
forever.'
"Two days before he died I left him
for two hours In order to get some
sleep. It was the first rest 1 had had
in several days. Somebody awakened
me because the Judge was asking for
me. When I reached the bed he seemed
fretful u'nd disturbed because I had
left him and said:
' 'Frank, why did you leave me? You
know that I have always been good to
you, nnd If anything happens to me
you will never be in need of anything
as long as you live.'
Thought He Would lie Cured for.
'Those words naturally led me to
believe that the will which was found
and which did not mention my name
Is not the right will. He also Indicated
during his Illness that Mr. Conrad, a
near friend of his, In Winchester, either
had his will or knew about it."
Woelkers was reminded by the re
porter of the paper found In Judge
Handley's pocket and which gave
minute directions concerning the par
ticular drawer and parcel containing
his will In the safe.
"That's what I can't understand,"
said Woelkers. "For many years he
carried such a pr.per nnd when It be-
I'linra torn and crumbled he would write
a new one and destroy the other.
Lemuel Amerman, one of the execu
tors, was Interviewed by the reporter.
Mr. Amerman said It Is not probable or
even possible that a will exists signed
later than the one found In Judge
Handley's safe. Mr. Amerman argued
that Judge Handley would not carry
about In his pocket a paper describing
tho location of a will that had been
superceded by a more recent will.
All of yesterday the executors were
engaged in examining papers and docu
ments In the late Judge's ofllce. No trace
was found of the missing "schedule A."

For tho Finishing and Furnishing

The fund was started only a little
over one week ago with $100 contributed

Watching Its Growth.
There are many watching the growth
of the fund with interest, and many
letters, some without enclosures, are
sent to Tho Tribune, commending It for
the good work it Is doing. A few of
these letters are from business men
who evidently do not see the differ
ence between writing a congratulatory
letter and enclosing something more
substantial thun kind words.
It should be borne In mind that the
Young Men's Christian association is
sadly In need of money; it needs this
money to swell a depleted Finishing
and Furnishing Fund, and The Trib
une offers Its columns and business
department as a medium between the
giver and the beneficiary.
That's plain. Isn't it?
If you understand the matter pay
your share of the debt of the communi
ty by subscribing ii cents, or 'Si cents,
or $1, or $10 whatever you can afford.
If you desire, cut this out nnd send
with your contribution to
The Tribune.

FACTS
1st: We handle the highest grades of
staple groceries produced. In Teas,
Coffees, Hutter, Cheese, Rice, Mo
lasses, Smoked' Meats, Canned
Goods, Dried Fruits,. Flour, etc.,
etc., we have always In stock as
good as can be bought. In Import
ed goods, such rs Olives, Olive Oil,
Sardines. French Peas and Beans,
etc., etc., what we carry are the
best brands brought to this coun
try. Some people who have never
bought any goods. from us have an
Impression from the fact that we
sell so cheap that the goods can
not be first class. Nothing could
be farther out of the way. We de
pend almost wholly on the quality
of our Bonds to hold our trade, as
we do no drumming and solicit no
credit customers. We think we
are not stretching, the truth when
we say that we handle the largest
amount of groceries of any house
In this part of the state not ex
clusively wholesale, which In Itself
guarantees fresh goods always. So
much ror quality.
2d: Notwithstanding the fact that
the goods we handle are strictly
llrst class in every respect, our
method of doing business enables
us to sell ut figures much below
the usual rates. As we said be
fore, we do no drumming. Thut is,
we have no agents soliciting or
ders, which Is a very expensive way
of selling goods, for which the cus
tomer must pay. We sell, with
few exceptions, for cash, losing
no bad debts whatever. We do a
wholesale and a retail business.
We do a large retail fresh meat
trade without having to charge u
big Bhop rent up to that depart
ment. !ld: We have ten horses used exclu
sively in delivering goods with live
wagons on the road all the time,
getting out orders promptly and in
good condition.
Finally: We have the largest
line of first class goods In North
eastern Pennsylvania. Our prices
are the lowest we have heard of
anywhere, and our delivery system
is now perfect. Until March 1st we
will give 10 per cent, off on all goods
bought from us except Flour,
Sugar and Feed. We want your
trade and are making a big bid
for It.

"WE'RE RIGHT IS THE PUSH."
When the advertising atmosphere is so
heavily charged with exaggeration, it
is well to remember who the honest
advertisers are. Windy assertions about
GREAT reductions---advertising good
at impossible prices, und no lodging
place in tbe minds of intelligent people.
Dull trade throughout the legitimate
business season may make necessary,
wild statements from some clothiers to
attract trade, but tbe schemers will
have to scheme harder and find new
disguises for their lame excuses before
they can stop the people from coming
to this store for honest values. The
triumph of this store is the triumph of
intelligence, and you have made it so.
Trade has been up to the murk here,
yet there's a touch of attractiveness ia
the styles and assortments. We've add'
ed another and mure taking attraction
