JUDGE EDWARDS' TRAVELS
Be Relates His Experiences in Europe
? ud Little Kales.
PLEASED A LAKGE AUDIENCE
Aa Interesting Story of a Two Months'
. Summer Trip-Special Reference to
the Great National Eisteddfod.
No Plsce Like America.
'The eeatlng capacity of the Flret
Welsh Congregatlonul church, on Sun
Main avenue, was taxed last night by
an audience composed mostly of elsh
men and women, who gathered to hear
Judge H. Edwards' lecture on his last
summer's trip to Wales and Kurope.
To be more exact the word "tell" In
stead of "lecture" should be used, as
Judge Edwards was heard in his happi
est and most merry vein and told an
Intensely Interesting account uf his
travels across the water, casting asid
formal phrases and expression, but re
lating his experiences In a fashion that
delighted his hearers.
The address lasted for almost two
hours and the proceeds will be de
voted In equal proiorrlona to the
church and the West Side library funds.
As Judge Edwards remarked, a trip
that lasted two months could not be
completely told In one sltt.lng. so he
skipped hurriedly over the facts that
would least Interest the audience and
dwelt as completely as time permitted
on aubjeots most adapted to the occa
sion. Possibly his audience seemed
most Interested In the great national
eisteddfod at Llanelly. From his re
marks It was gathered that this festi
val Is the dlstlnictlvily national Institu
tion of Wales, In that no other country
has anything like It. It has elevated
Wales ns much as anything has elevat
ed any other country. "
Llanelly Itself has nothing graceful
or ornamental about It. Its popula
tion is 30.000, and almost that number
of persons come to the town for the
eisteddfod. The building In which the
last eisteddfod was held was 4he new
market which had not .been entirely
finished and for the use of which $5,000
was paid. It Is 100x140 feet and seated
14.000 persons and on one day the tick
ets showed that 22.000 persons had en
tered the building. A rule of the fes
tival Is that only one session, no mat
ter at what time it terminates, shall
occur on one day and that a concert
shall be held eaoh evening.
Large Nnmher of Choirs Fntcrcd.
In the competition of choirs from
thlrty-elR'ht to Eiixty entered In the pre
liminaries. Tn the soprmno competi
tion Dr. Parry, the nd.ludk'fitnr. could
not discriminate among six singers and
thft number were returned to the
Judges. Eventually the number was
reduced to four and then Dr. Parry
msde his decision only because the
judges Insisted upon It. The female
choirs were commonplace, but the male
choirs were excellent.
In the choral contests the adjudi
cators were concealed from the view of
the choir and vice-versa. The adjudi
cators were located In a pit about sev
enty feet from the stare.
Judge Edwards said he had often
been asked how a Scranton choir would
compare with the choir? competing In
Wales' national festival. He said that
In range and quality of voices a Pcran
ton choir would compare favorably, and
possibly he better than those across the
water. Rut that the Wales choirs cer
tainly excell In several Important fea
tures: First, they have a clearer and
more distinct enunciation, and at the
national eisteddfod every word could
be distinctly heard In oil parts of the
large building: second, the foreign
choirs have a greater precision of tone;
third, they U3e no copies which hide
the face and smother !the flow of voice.
It makes a great difference for the
spectator to see faces lighted and all
aglow with the 'Inspiration they receive
from their own efforts. Tn one choir
that compeited In the national festival
every member was able to read his or
her music at the second rehearsal.
There the rehearsals continue for six
months. The choirs contain no drones
or driftwood: each member is a sing
er, a good singer, and everyone sings.
They are perfect units which neces
sarllly comprise a perfect whole. For
these reasons only do the Welsh choirs
overshadow any which might be or
ganized in Bcranfton.
Reception for the Americans.
At the eisteddfod Judge Edwards met
all the poets and singers. All Welsh
men are poets or singers, or think they
are, he said. One of the most delightful
features of the festival was a recep
tion arranged In a small hall for the
Americans. The event was attended
by seven or eUght hundred persons, sev-enty-flve
or 100 of them being of the
nationality for which the affair was
given.
The charge Is being brought against
the national eisteddfod that it is a
mere singing contest, when, originally,
It was intended to be a means of ad
vance and profit In vocal art. A move
ment Is now on foot for acquiring a
government charter so that the support
will be only by the government, and
that money making and personal ad
vantage may be eliminated.
In Liverpool a great change has taken
place since Judge Edwards' presence In
that city twen'ty years ago. Then It
was dirty and apparently devoid of
pride: now It has Its municipal light
and water works. Its municipal halls,
concerts, and various other things
which makes the city a delight Instead
of a nightmare, and suggests to the
American the wish that cities in his
own country enjoyed the same policy
of municipal control as those abroad.
An Instance was shown in a concert In
St. Qeorge'B hall, where, during Judge
Edwards' visit, a great London artist
gave an organ recital, and used an in
strument which was second to only
one In all Europe. The price of admis
sion was one penny, and, although over
2,000 persons were present, the proceeds
paid only the ushers. The city did It
for the "benefit of Its poorer citizens,
and this was only one of many similar
movements.
Connects Present and Past.
"Wrlog was referred to as unimportant
geographically and Important historic
ally, as a country that dates from the
ancient, bridges the mediaeval and ex
isted with Rome and. Greece. Today It
is as lively and fresh as a girl blooming
Into womanhood. Its 2,000.000 Inhabit
ants are contained In twelve counties,
In one of which one-half of the Inhabit
ants live. The country is only 148 miles
long by 65 miles wide, but It has made a
great fuss In history. Wales of today Is
a new country and now has a bloom of
youth on her cheek. Its power Is prom
ising and borders on the great, and the
reason Is found chiefly In the advanced
cause of higher education. Her sOhools
are as good as ours; and her three col
leges, one each In northern, middle and
South Wales, have the power to grant
degrees the same as Oxford and Cam
bridge. London, Judge Edwards referred to
as a compromise between the ashes of
the past and the progress of the pres
ent, and a place where one should
never go out without an umbrella. Eng
land's most wonderful thing Is the
Englishman himself a strong, sturdy
fellow of Intense patriotism and with
an astonishing Ignorance about Amer
ica. The lateness of the hour permitted
only a hurried reference to Prance and
Switzerland. Of the two, iboth In re
gard to nation and people, the latter
seemed' to Invite the speaker's greater
admiration. .'But of all the countries
he visited, none could efface his love
and partiality for America, and the
pleasantest feature of his long Journey
was the sound of the rumble and roar
of th Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western train as It passed through Nay
Aug tunnel a few moments before
reaching Scran ton and home. ,

Came. Here to Witness'the , boata
Glass Rolling Test
ARE CLASS TRUST OFFICERS
Possibly They Want to I'se the Boms
Patent-Process Said to Have Been
Proven Feasible and Sure-Improvements
Proposed.
Scranton last night sheltered two of
tlhe most prominent business men tn the
state of Pennsylvania. One was Ed
ward Ford, president of the Pittsburg
Plmte Glass company; the other was
John Plt'calrn, chairman of the com
pany's board, of directors. The com
pany they represent Is one of the most
extensive and highly-capitalized Im the
east, and in trade la commonly referred
to the "Plate Ulas trust." The two
men were here to witness the fourth
and eminently successful test of the
liunta Glass 'Company's rolling process
in the new plant at Mooslc.
The test was made In the afternoon
In the presence of an audience num
bering over fifty persons, Including the
Pittsburg men, two English capitalists,
brought here by Dr. Shakespeare, of
Philadelphia, one of the Bontu com
pany's heaviest stockholders, and many
Scranton business men and capitalists
who are heavy holders of Bonta stock.
Tine Elgantlc rolling machine and he
workmen performed their duties well.
After one pouring of molten material
had been placed on the bed of the ma
chine and was found to be too cool,
another pouring was made of the
proper consistency, and the mass was
rolled and successfully transferred to
the annealing ovens, where iit will re
main for ten or twelve days.
.Mr. Ford Interviewed.
The English capitalists left on the
20 p. m. Lackawanna tra.ln for Buf
falo. Mr. Ford and iMr. Pltealrn re
mained over night t the Wyoming,
whre they were Interviewed by a
THbune reporter. In answer to sev
eral questions byitlhe reporter Mr. Ford
said:
"The Bonta Invention and process of
rolling embossed glass are entirely
new. It Is something that has never
before been accomplished In glass man
ufacture, I consider today's test an
evidence that Mr. Bonta's Invention Is
thoroughly practical. The machine
can roll large plates of figured glass;
heretofore by other processes only
small plates could be made, and then
they had to be stamped over a die by a
costly, slow and tedious process. ,
"It soems to me that the success of
the Bonta venture rests solely with the
demand for Its product. The machines
we use In 'the rolling of smooth-faced
plate glass will not roll the embossed
article."
Last night Mr. Ford and Mr. Plt
ettrlon visited Mr. Honta In his office.
Inquiries failed to reveal the substance
of the business talked or transacted.
It Is commonly understood among
the best Informed Honta stockholders
that the Pittsburg officials will seek
to obtain the privilege to use the Ronta
machines for the nnrpose of rolling
plate glass only, which material will
not come Into competition with the em
bossed or figured product that the local
company proposes manufacturing In
the Mooslc plant. In such case the
trust will be asked to pay a royalty
based upon sales or output. The Eng
lishmen witnessed the test with a view
of purchasing the foreign patents and
rights to manufacture.
Contemplate Dig Extension.
The officers of the Bonta company
are so sanguine of future success that
a 210-foot addition Is to be Tiuilt to
the Mooslc works and thirty ovens and
as many melting furnaces built. All
these, It Is claimed, can be kept run
ning by the one big machine, which.
In less than two minutes, rolls a batch
of molten glass Into the desired Bhapo
and figure.
In tests previous to yePterday the
plates have been removed from the
ovens several days too early. Those
rolled yesterday will be allowed to
remain enclosed for t sufficient period.
THE MERCHANT OF VENICE.
Produced In nn Excellent Manner by
llnnford and Cnmpnny.
Few of Khtikespeare's plays are so
easily marred by the actor as "The
Merchant of Venice," which Charles
B. Hanford selected for his second, ap
pearance In this city as a star. It was
given last evening at the Academy of
Music and the verdict of the large au
dience was that the actors acquitted
themselvts with credit.
Shakespeare wrote two characters of
almost equal prominence Into the play,
hylock and 'Portia, but In the version
"When trouble comes, don't let despair
Ad 1 to the burdens you must bear,
But keep up acart and, smiling say
The darkest cloud must ass away,"

PRATTS Lackawanna iricni
given last night the lines of Portia have
been sadly cut. and her Importance
dwarfed that Shylock might become the
central figure.
IHanford's conception of the role Is
one thait has received the endorsement
of the est of modern Shakespearean
scholars. 8Ie does not overdo the part.
This was particularly noticeable when
he bewails the elopement of his daugh
ter and In the court scene. In these Mr.
Hanford did perhaps the best work of
the evening. Kven with a long list of
illustrious predecessors as a precedent
he did not raut or tear a passion to tat
ters. He rather simulated the passion
that overcomes speech and makes ut
terance Impossible. In Shy lock Mr.
Hkinford has added another success to
those he has already achieved in
Shakespearean roles.
Elihu It. Spencer's Ilassonio was not
up to the standard of Mr. Hanford.
He Is too mercurial In temperament,
and his constant vehemence robs his
best lines of their due weight and Im
portance. Miss Nora O'Brien, who Is
the third star of the company, suf
fered from hoarseness last night, and
was not seen at her best. She is some
what amateurish in declamation and
movement, this being very perceptible
when she discoursed about the quality
of mercy In fifth act. Her manner of
declamation is hard and dldatlc and
lacks the grace and womanliness that
Shakespeare made so characteristic of
Portlo.
James Carden gave a finished Imper
sonation of Antonio, and Richard Huh
ler, Itobert V. Smiley, and Marie Drof
nah added not a little to the success of
the performance. The staging and cos
tuming was excellent.
