MUSICAL NOTES.
Miss Sadie K. Knlser. of Wllkes
Burre, the sweet soprano who Is pur
suing her second year of study in Lon
don, nnd who is well known in Scran
ton, recently had the good fortune to
be engaged as soloist for a large con
cert in Bristol, one of the most musi
cal of the large towns of England. Her
reception was very cordial. The Bris
tol Times and Mercury ays of her:
Miss Sadlo Kaiser, R. A. M., possesses
a delightfully c lear and agreeable po
prano voice, of great power and culture,
and that she well knows how to con
trol it was convincingly shown in her
rendering of the diflicult and ornate
Jewel song from "Faust," which roused
the audience to vociferous demands for
an encore. She also gained much fa
vor with her artistic conception and
expression of the Waltz song, from
"Romeo and Juliet," also by Gounod
whose musics she seems to understand
most thoroughly, although she was
equally at home In the Impassioned
"Fruhllngslled" of Coenen, and the
twittering "The Throstle," which she
sang- most plquantly." She has been
re-engaged to appear again at another
concert there, which is a compliment
to her debut. She has completed her
second year at the Royal Academy of
Music, and has received a certificate
from Sir Alexander Mackenzie, the
principal, qualifying as a teacher of
singing and a public artist. She Is now,
and has been for some time past, un
der the private tutelage of Slgnor Al
berto Randegger, studying the great
oratorio roles and other sacred music.

SENT FROM SYRACUSE.
Scranton Receives a Batch of Paupers
from That PlaceSouth Side
Widow's Strong Nerve.
Syracuse Is the latest city to size up
our poor board as an easy mark. Two
weeks ago the poor authorities of the
Saline city, following the example set
by Hoboken, Jersey City and It might
be added Wllkes-Barre, bundled a
whole family of paupers on to this dis
trict. Their name is Fabrlnskl. They
were In this city but a few days when
they were seeking aid from Mrs. Dug
gan, of the associated charities. Yes
terday they were before the poor bourd
asking relief. They stated they were
residents of Syracuse for two years
and received $0 a month from the poor
board there. The father Is nn Invalid
and as they would be a continual ex
pense the Syracuseans shipped them
to this city. They will be sent back.
One Mrs. Fabrowskl, of the South
Side, appeared before the board in
company with her nerve. She wanted
help, although la answer to Mrs.
Swan's Interrogations she admltted.un
blushlngly too, that she had several
hundred dollars in a building and loan
association, $300 in a bank and has
been keeping a speak-easy since her
husband died nine months ago. The
board took great pleasure In showing
her the door.
M. H. Davis, of Lincoln, Wayne coun
ty, father of Mrs. Frank Ellis, ap
peared before the board seeking to
secure possession of the youngest of
the three Ellis children, who are now
at the Home for the Friendless. The
board promised to consider his request
and let him know two weeks hence,
what iwould be done.
Mrs. Catherine Ruane came before
the board with a protest. She is the
second wife of Michael Ruane, of tlio
South Side, an Insane patient at the
Home, whose estate was sold recently
at the direction of the borrd to pay
for his maintenance nt the farm. Thn
district realized $165 from the sale,
which is only one-hnlf the amount of
Its bill, but notwithstanding this Mrs.
Ruane would have a share In It Sho
claimed to have paid the burial ex
penses of Rtmne's llrst wife and also
the taxes on the property out oC her
own money and thought that she at
least should bn reimbursed for these
expenditures. Attorney Scrags; could
not see any legal way of allowing Mrs.
Ruane to share In the proceeds and
