OP A PERSONAL NATURE.
The address delivered at Music Hall
last night by Mark Edgar, Mayor Con
nell's private secretary, was Instructive
end exceedingly well delivered. Mr.
Edgar has the graces of a natural ora
tor, a rare command of language and
the faculty of Investing his subject
ylth an Interest that commands the
attention of his audience. His subject
last night was "Music," and the beauty
of the thought and language it con
tained is shown by the following ex
cerpt: "The spirit of harmony Is and
always will remain one of the master
passions which lift men from the ordi
nary moods of life and Influences them
to thoughts and deeds of the most sub-
lime conception and the loftiest hero
ism.. The Influences which the spirit of
tnuslo exercises over the Inclinations
a.nd passions of men are as varied in
their results as the deeds themselves,
which the Fame spirit has incited. As
the Grecian shepherd beguiled the
hours listening to the low strains of his
lute and dreaming of perpetual youth
tund love and Idleness, so, Influenced by
the same spirit of song and music,
the rude Germanic peoples of the north
rushed from their fastennesses In tha
Black forest, shouting their thunder
ous war songs which struck terror to
the hearts of the Roman legionaries
and inspired themselves to acts of the
greatest daring. This same muse of
Bong has been responsible for some pf
the grandest achievements recorded in
history and for some of the noblest ex
. presslons of sentiment and emotion. It
was under tha spell of the national
airs of France that the soldiers of
Bonaparte were stirred to attempt the
memorable passage of the Alps, and
no work, possibly, ever penned by the
. hand of man has so often moved the
emotions as John Howard Payne's
'Home, Sweet Home.' "
"I am looking for a man who Is worth
half a million dollars and doesn't know
I " HHA TV tlvo Mlphflnl XInnn rt
Carbondale, as he halted a Tribune re
porter yesterday at the Dime ba.nk.
"Who it is, is it? Oh, a young fellow
who wanted to see the world and left
his home at Buohorest, Roumanla, and
came to the land of the free and home
of the brave. His father was a Rou
manian prince, and when his son left
home he served notice on him that he
was disowned. Princes are plentiful in
Roumanla, but this one was remarka
ble in that he ihad money and many
broad acres of excellent land. Well,
anyhow, as my friend Bobby Gaylor
would say, the youth who was the
youngest of a family of three .two boys
and a girl, came to this country nnd
has been known as Josef Justalne. His
education was limited and he soon sank
to the level of a common day laborer.
He was employed on the construction
of the breaker at Rlchmondale and
afterward worked at Carbondale, Dur-
his horse and his father died two
and the heir, to at least half a
mm hhii tin an.La(.iic ui LiJtr Huair an
consulate In New York, who has the
search in charge, employed me to find
Josef, and since then I have raked tht
coal valleys from one end to the other
without success. Poor Josef is probably
working at 90 oents per somewhere or
other and wishing for death. Curious
world, Isn't it?" and Moron smiled.
After listening to his story you would
not think Josef a myth, yet he is.
Dr. Allen Norton Leate has returned
from New York, where he spent sev
eral days this week on business. Dur
ing the doctor's recent visit to Cali
fornia he obtained Interests in oil pro
ducing lands at Los Angeles and in
Kansas, and Intends to assist In the
work of developing them. Several
years ago the doctor was engaged in
the oil refining business in New York.
Thomas English, of Plttston, a former
commissioner of Luzerne county, circu
lated among friends in this city yes
terday. Mr. English has not retired
from politics, although no longer an
otflee-holder. He occasionally takes a
plunge Into the Luierne vortex.
Attorney B. F. Klllam, Deputy Reg
ister of Wills James II Hopkins and
Insurance Agent 11. K. Paine started
on a Ashing expedition yesterday. They
will endeavor to lure the Pike county
fish from their abiding places.
F. S. Barker will sail for Europe early
next month.

ELKS' SOCIAL SESSION.
Given to Entertain a Number of Visiting
Brethren from Syrucuse.
Jollity and good humor reigned su
preme at the magnificent rooms of the
Scranton lodge of the Elks last night
upon the occasion of celebrating their
sixth anniversary. At 9 o'clock 200
guests sait down to a sumptuous ban
quet, and after the members had sat
some time at'thewell spread tables and
divested them of the innumerable
dainties with which they were loaded,
the members withdrew and seated
themselves on the capacious lounges,
when Dr. GunSter, the exalted ruler,
proclaimed the session open and intro
duced Past Exalted Ruler John Mor
rlsey, of the Syracuse lodge, and Past
Exalted Ruler Frank J. Fltzsimmons,
both of whom would act as toastmas
tar. Past Exalted Ruler Morrlsey fined
the members without the slightest com
punction. If any gentleman proved
dilatory in answering his call his pock
ets were lightened of a dollar before he
could grasp the situation. By these
means the discipline of the evening
was exemplary.
Christopher G. Roland's Effort.
Speeches Innumerable were delivered
during the evening and many sparkled
with rare wit and humor. In particular,
Christopher G. Roland's address of wel
come to the visiting brethren was de
clared to foe a gem of oratory. He re
ferred to the Syracuse brethren as "the
salt of the earth."
By unanimous consent the music
rendered during the evening was ac
corded to be the best heard In the
rooms. Bauer's orchestra played the
most exquisite gems of standnrd music
and were accorded rapturous encores,
which they undoubtedly merited. The
Elks Glee club rendered various selec
tion of tasteful music in which the
finest shading was done, and the excel
lent combination of harmony of voices
won the admiration of all. Many In
strumental selections were also given
with faultless taste by the Llederkranz
Zither club.
During the evening Herman Doesch
er, Eastern league umpire, was Intro
duced to the assembly, and fined $5 by
the chairman for the Irregular playing
of the previous day.

Kent. John E. Poore, of Philadelphia,

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
(Under this heading short letters of In
terest will be published when accompa
nied, for publication, by the writer's
name. The Tribune will not be held re
sponsible for opinions here expressed.)
Is Silver Demonetized?
Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I am surprised that so learned a
man as C. H. Clark should make the fol
lowing statement In his address: "Mult
down ten silver dollars, and the raw bullion
will buy as much wheat or cotton or petro
leum as it ever would. The relative values
have not changed." Every schoolboy over
12 ought to know bettor. Those ten silver
dollars circulate as money because of the
government stamp, and because the peoplo
have agreed to use them as a medium of
exchange. Deface those coins and they
are not worth their face value, but as raw
bullion they have no direct purchasing
power. The bullion may be sold to some
manufacturer of silverware for 63 cents
an ounce, more or less. Melt down a gold
eagle and it no longer represents ten dol
lars, and ceases to bo a circulating me
dium, and becomes a commodity or simply
a precious metal. ,
If sliver has been demonetized by an act
of congress, the sooner the act Is repealed
the better. But from existing facts one can
hardly believe that such an act has been
adopted. The government buys silver,
co'.ns it and issues it as money and all the
people accept It as such. In what way
then, Is silver demonetized? Will some
one explain? RespeiMfully,
' H. 13. Van Benthuysen.
