t Walton-Other Sou.
On the recent concert tour of the Elk
quartette to Walton and Delhi, N. V..
state, the newspapers of these towns
have the following: "The famous Elk
quartette, of Scranton, Pa., represents
an aggregation of singers rarely ex
celled and their appearance at Walton
attracted a large and appreciative au
dience. The reputation of the quar
tette having preceded them set the ex
pectations of the people very high, but
we were not disappointed. The quar
tette upon this occasion wus composed
of Howell Davis, George DeWitt. Will
Watklns. C. P. Colvin and John T.
Watklns, assisted by Miss Winnlfred
Sullivan, soprano soloist, of the Elm
Park church, of Scranton, and Miss
Florence Richmond, organist at the
First Presbyterian church. Scranton.
The quartette was compelled to respond
to an encore for every number that
was on the irogramme, each number
being a prime favorite with the people
of Walton. The appearance of Miss
Sullivan was greeted with robust ap
plause and her artistic rendition of
"One Soring "Morning," was a source
of great delight to the audience She
Is the possessor of a wonderfully bril
liant soprano voice of such a clear ring
ing quality in the upper register as is
seldom heard. .Her methud showed
careful training, and her temperament
must surely be of a very subtle und
emotional nature as her singing Is
filled with so much soul that it thrills
her heaivrs. Sho will be ever welcome
to Walton. The compliments paid Miss
Richmond for her piano solo and her
accompaniments to the different solos
were numerous. Miss Richmond's
playing contained considerable bril
liancy and elasticity of technique, dis
played only by artists of the first rank.
The Walton people think she is the
llnest player they ever heard In their
city. The Elk quartette, Miss BulUvun
and Miss Richmond will be ever wel
come to Walton and Delhi."

The Pottsvllle Miners' Journal speaks
as follows in reference to criticism upon
the adjudication given by one of Scran
ton's most capable musicians at that
city recently: We are Inclined to be
lieve that Editor Robarts, of the Phoe
uixvllle Messenger, is not an authority
on musical subjects, however able he
may be as a journalist, and our reasons
justify the conclusion, in his account
of the recent eisteddfod held In Potts
vllle Mr. Roberts takes exception to the
adjudication of T. J. Davles on the
contest over the glee "Le Voyage," the
prize for which was awarded to the
Potlsville choir over the Reading or
ganization. In his remarks Mr. Rob
arts says "the tone of the Reading sing
ers was unquestionably superior to the
Pottsvllle singers." He admits that be
lug a former Reading boy which colors
his exception with partiality, and he is
now informed that some of the Reading
people admitted In the heating of the
representative of this paper that the
adjudication was a Just one and was
properly awarded to the Pottsvllle sing
ers. Mr. Robarts, doubtess, has a pur
pose In view In plaiting the bangs of
the Reading people.
The Schubert quartette will sing at

The recent production of the Old Col
onial concert which attracted and de
lighted an immense audience at the
Young Men's Christian Association hall,
Is to be repeated. The concert was a
great success, and considering the fact
that the very best talent In the city
takes part is a guarantee sufficient to
sanction this repetition. Mrs. O'Brien,
Mr. John T. Watklns and Mr. Wooler
will again sing the solos that were
gems, and Messrs. Smith, and funny
Dolph Atherton will be on hand. The
same cast will participate throughout.

The Schubert quartette sang nt Plains
last night to a. crowded house. The
bills and papers advertised the appear
ance of Mr. John T. Watklns as being
his Inst before leaving for London. This
alone lilled the hall. The different num
bers were heartily enjoyed, nenrly every
selection being encored. The proceeds
were for the benefit of the Methodist
Episcopal church of Plains, the concert
netting I hem a handsome sum.

Reeve Jones.the pianist, recently gave
a private recital to a few friends and
musicians at his studio on Wyoming
avenue, which was a most pleasing af
fair. Mr. Jones undoubtedly stands at
the head of the list of concert piunlsts
in the state, und it Is doubtful if he has
an equal among American performers.
By theconnolsseursMr. Jones' technique
Is pronounced faultless. While his
playing Is pleasing to all and Is of a
brilliant style that would captivate
anyone with the slightest taste for mu
sic, it is only the artists who can really
npprec-lute Mr. Jones' work.

Mrs. J. A. Sample of ir8 Broadway,
New York city, was afflicted with In
somnia until her nerves were on the
verge of prostration. She thinks her
condition was due to Indigestion, Here
Is what Mrs. Sample says:
"I have used Palne's celery compound
with marked and decided benefit. It Is
especially useful in insomnia, arising
from Indigestion and poorly nourished
nerves.
"I should add that my granddaugh
ter. Vera Hatleigh, was so thin and
puny at the age of ten as to cause us
the. greatest anxiety. We had no diffi
culty in inducing her to take Palne's
celery compound. Today the roses
bloom In her cheeks, and I never saw a
healthier stronger child than Palne's
celery compound has made of her."

The coming of an entirely new pro
duction to the Academy of Music, and
especially one that has been hlghy en
dorsed by an intelligent public, will
mean much to play-goers anxious to
be entertained by comedy of a superla
tive order. "The New Dominion" is the
work of Clay Clement, both an actor
and author of recognized ability, who
will take the leading role himself, there
by giving it an Interpretation that must
be the author's ideal. Theater-goers
will huve every right to criticise the new
production. The story deals with life
in Virginia. The theme is one of senti
ment. Mr. Clement, as a German bot
anist, not familiar with the English
tongue, brings about ninny complica
tions that give him scope for high com
edy acting. The piece will he seen nt
the Academy of Music next Tuesday
evening.
If there were more plays like "Ala
bama" and less of so-called farce-comedy
on the modern stage, the theater
as an Institution would be more popu
lar, more instructive, and far more po
tent In arousing within thehumanbreast
sentiments that are pure, wholesome
and beneficial alike to man and woman.
This great drama will be seen at the
Academy of Music this evening.
"The Two Escutcheons." which has
been one of the comedy successes of the
season, will be produced at the Froth
lngham March 18 nnd W. The story Is
translated from the German by Mr.
Sydney Bosenfeld and Is full of bright
catchy dlulogue. Miss Madelne Bou-.

For the first three days of next week
Manager Davis will offer his patrons an
old-time Wonderland variety show,
headed by the Smith brothers, Amer
ica's champion athletes. TIiIb style of
entertainment was the principal cause
of the immense populnrlty of this house
for the first two or thre seasons. As
there has been no such entertainment
this season, no doubt the patrons of the
house will be pleased to hear of this. A
long list of first-class artists has been
engaged, and the entertainment will
undoubtedly be a strong one.

The mischief that results from weak
