Mr. Rockwell may justly be proud of "Angelic Songs," as ho ividently is, nnd of the many complimentary things Hlready written nnd sold of it; and from a number of letters shown us we copy a few extracts that will no doubt, Interest our readers. A lending publisher of New York says of It: "You have the best book of its kind on the face of the rlobe." Herbert AA'. Greene, founder of the Metropolitan College of Music, New Y'ork, writes: "I nm quite surprised that you have felt called upon to usurp the prerogative of the angels and to start us mortals on our songs before we get to the proper condition; but who, If not yourself, would be able to write Angelic Songs?" Prof. George Edgar Oliver, director of music of the public schools, nnd organist and choir master of St. Paul's Episcopal church at Albany, N. Y., writes: "I know that your book will be popular, for you are one of the few men In the country who know how to write for children's voices." The wife of a prominent Presbyterian minister of Chicago writes: "I shall do my best to get your book into our ffwnday school. Many times I have wished for better music that the "Gos pel hymns," and have wondered why the world could produce so much real music, and churches, especially Sun day schools, must be compelled to use so much trash." The manager of one of the largest school supply and-publishing houses In the United States writes: "First Installment (250) 'An gelic Songs' duly received. It's a dan dy,' and you can Justly be proud of It." The above are but a few of many testi monials received among special con tributors to Mr. Rockwell's work we find such names as Fanny J. Crosby, Rev. J. E. Rankin. Helen O. ltice, Rev. Ford C. Ottman, John B. Marsh, Geo. E. Oliver, A. H. Miles, T. J. Davies, Mus. Bac, and a host of others. Mr. Rockwell's work has also received the approval and Indorsement of many of the leading musical critics nnd writers of this country, and his services are in constant demand by compilers and publishers. Some time ago an order was given him to write several hymns for the AV. C. T. U., and Miss Francis Wlllard was so pleased with same that for one setting she wrote a special hymn of her own composition. "An gelic Songs" contains sixty-seven of Mr. Rockwell's own composition, and of this number thirty-seven are orig inal, both words and music, II II II The first edition of "Angelic Songs," the new book for Sunday schools, young .people's meetings, and the home, com posed, compiled and edited by MY. George N. Rockwell, formerly of this city, and for many-years organist and musical director both of the First M. E. "and also Second Presbyterian churches, was received this week, and is already singing itself into the popu lar favor it well deserves, for Judging from the copy before us, we can but 6ay that it Is certainly a most com plete, attractive and artistic produc tion, and far in advance of anything yet produced of its kind. . II II II Arrangements have been made for a grand concert which will be given at the Frothingham on Monday evening, Nov. 9. by the following artists, who will appear for the first time In Scran ton in concert: Mrs. Katharine Thiele, soprano; Miss Katharine TImberman, contralto: J.

II H II Mrs. Knthryn Thiele, soprano, who will soon appear In concert In this city, Is wife of the celebrated violinist, Er nest Thiele, and has secured a great reputation by excellent work. She has shared the honors in concert with such artists ns Miss Aus der Ohe, Dr. Ixiuis Mans, Mr. AA'illlam Sherwood, Prof. Xaver Scharwenka and others. She hns nppeared at various times With the Philharmonic society of Buffalo, tho Brooklyn Institute and the Junior Phil harmonic orchestra, of New York, and has been until her arrival In Scranton one of the principal teachers of tho voice at the celebrated Scharwenka Conservatory of Music In New Y'ork city. She well deserves the many eulo gistic press notices bestowed on her. "Land so Fair" Is the title of Alfred' Wooler's new sacred song. It Is pub lished In two keys for baritone or nies sosop, and tenor or soprano, by Oliver Dltson Co., both In England and this country. Our soloists are constantly looking for songs of this calibre, being very sweet and melodious, abounding In rich harmonies; the words are beau tiful, Indeed. Such line taste as Mr. AA'ooler hns displayed In this, and other works will, no doubt, soon bring him Into prominence as a composer. ii mi Musicians of this vicinity are looking forward with pleasure to the eleventh annual meeting of the Lackawanna and AVyoming Musical Alliance, which will be held at Factoryvllle on Novem ber 17 to 21 Inclusive. Prof. Harry E. Cogswell, principal of the Mansfield Normal School of Music, will be con ductor, and Miss Alice G. Northrup, ac companist. Concerning entertainment one may address Miss Ira B. Milder, Factoryvllle. 'I II II Miss Winifred Sullivan, former sopra no at Elm Park church, who is now solo soprano in the Episcopal church at Yonkers, N. A'., has taken up her resi dence In New A'ork city where she will study music under the best teachers.

Out It Gave fio t'lue to the Misting Man's W hereabouts. Nothing has yet been heard of the whereabouts of James Kearney, of 423 Phelps street, who so mysterious' y dis appeared last Friday night. He left Ms home about 9 o'clock saying that he was going for a short walk, and would bo back soon. His dog followed him and was at his heels a short tima later wren one of Kearney's sons met him going towards the central city. AVhen Kearney did not return that night there was great alarm felt among the members of his family, but when on Monday the dog returned without his master their alarm was Increased. Diligent search has been made for him every day since but no trail of him can be found. During the week the dog has fre quently trotted nwny from the house, and sometimes would be gone for hours nt a strettch. It occurred to the miss ing man's relatives that It would not be a bad Idea to follow the dog. nnd S'i yesterday when It started off one of the members of the family trailed it up. The dog headed direct for the cen tral city and without tarrying any where went straightway to a house In the neighborhood of Gould's carriage, works, which is situated between For est and Dlx courts on Linden street. The people living In the house In ques tion, who It might be stated paren thetically, are eminently respectable, knew nothing of Kearney, but were well acquainted with the dog. The woman of the house explained that tho doer hful come there pome time nco and 'that she had fed It, which caused It to repeat Its visits almost daily. The children of the house had taking a liking to the dog and for this reason sue had encouraged Its visits by fre puent Invitations In the shape of canine d l'tacles. This explanation was a great disap pointment to the searchers. "77 9f WHAT IS IT ?
