The difficulty of watehlnff Joseph Fllarski. the Prlieburg smallpox pa tient. wa demonstrated yesterday. Owing to the Ignorance of the people who surround him they hnve to be watched very closely for as soon as vigilance id relaxed they are sure to do something that has a tendency to kpread the terrible disease broadcast. It Is not probable that they do this w ilfully, but because of their Ignorance of the dun g;er they subject themselves und others to. Yesterday morning while the man who was) on guard at the house occu pied by FHarski, relaxed his vlgixlance for a moment a man approached the house. Another instantly emerged from the bulkiliifr and the two held a con versation for a few minutes. Then some people who were watching the men closely saw the man who come out of the house pass something to the other, who Immediately started away. He was stopped soon after by the olllcer but denied that he had received anything;. He was taken before Jus tice of the Peace' Logan, who admon ished him to tell the truth. Awed by the majesty of the law he admitted that while standing in front of the house in which the smallpox patient is quar antined he received a book. He pro duced it und It proved to be a pass book Issued to the smallpox patient by a building- and loan association. In the book was a five-dollar bill, placed there by Fllarski with which the man before the justice was to pay the premium on the stock held by Fllarski. The book and money were constlcated for the present, and the foolhardy friend warned not to again loiter around the Infected house or he would be severely punished. SIN ON Till: HUMAN FACE.

Paderewskl rises, as a rule, about 10 o'clock on days when he does not give a concert or Is traveling, writes John ,1. a'Hecket in uu article upon the great pianist's daily life in March Ladies' Home Journal. On days when he is to play In the evening he rises at one. liv wuy of morning meal he Ukes a cup of coffee or tea-nothing else, not even a roll or morsel iif bread. He prac tices usually for five or six hours each day on a piano which he has sent to his room In the hotel as soon as he arrives in a city. When he has an afternoon concert lie does not practice at all, however, nnd If the concei t is an evening one he de votes only two to three hours to exer cising on the keyboard. In order to strengthen his lingers he plays only llve-llng-er exercises. Like a prize fighter who is in training this musical athlete devotes himself to a systematic course of gymnastics for strengthening all of the physical powers which are culled Into play by his performances at the piano. Those long, slender, "piano" fingers are put tin ouch their paces un til they acquire strength, flexibility, sglllty and staying power. His mug niticent technique Is not maintained without this constant fostering and lubricating; of its springs. This little band of five faithful servants which each hand commands Is in tenure to a wrist like steel. But his arms also have to be strengthened. For this purpose he employs an apparatus which ho de signed and had made himself. What this Is he knows, and nobody else. -.

Ityan. of Philadel phia, assisted by IU. ltev. J. F. llnrstman, of Cleveland, Ohio. lit. Kev. Bishop o'llarn. Kev. Father Hoban and Kev. .1. J. B. Feeley urrlved In Scranton at 8..10 on the Delaware, Lackawanna and 'Western lust even ing from Philadelphia. They went there Wednesday to confer with Arch bishop Kyan with reference to the con secration, and the date above given waa selected on which It would occur. The bishop and Kev. Father Feeley were driven to the episcopal residence on Wyoming avenue. Kev. Father Ho ban did not stay In the city, but went to Ashley on the 9.15 Delaware and Hudson train. Theru are many details in connection with the ceremony which will not be decided upon for a few days. The elaborateness of the consecration will surpass anything that has taken place in church annals in this city. Never before has there been an event of so real Importance In the Catholic church of this diocese. It was the wish of Kev. Father Hoban to have lit. Kev. Bishop O' Httra officiate as the conse crator, but the bishop would rather let the honor fall to Cardinal Satolll, be cause his eminence was Kev. Father Hoban's preceptor In the Propaganda college at Rome. It appears that Cardinal Ratolll could not come; neither could Cardinal Gib bons, and It wus their wish, it la under stood, that Archbishop Kyan Fhould of ficiate. Kt. Kev. Bishop Horstinun. who will assist, is a close personal friend of Rt. Kev. Bishop O'Hara. ' The ceremony will occur with a pon tifical mass at 10.30 in the morning. MINER INSTANTLY KILLED.
