9 THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 19, 1896. A the MUSICAL GOSSIP. The Son? Journal speaks as follows of the great Dutch pianist, Martlnus Sievvking, whom It terms the "Jlephts to of the piano:" "Let us take a good look at Sieve king, that we may discover his Me phlstophellan characteristics: Six feet tall, broad-shouldered, erect; promi nent cheek bones; thin lips; a chin that has "determination and tenacity" written in its lines; a slight mustache of brown; clear, searching, gray-blue eyes; a high Intellectual forehead; very dark hair that stands out from the head in picturesque unkemptness; great muscular hands that look as If they could crush anything that they envelop In their grasp. That is not the picture of a Mephlsto, Is it? "Wait; we will converse with him. Perhaps his speech will betray him. Why, he does not talk like a cynic. His utterances are those of a young man of healthy mind, full of honest ambi tion and hopeful for success. "Stop a bit! He Is seated at the piano now, and Is going to play. A great technic! And what a tone! Those Iron fingers of his can caress as well as crush, you perceive. A bril liant octave passage, that. Heavens! He is playing tenths as brilliantly as he did octaves! Bravo! That sweep ing climax was irresistible! It was electrifying! Such fire! Such an over whelming bigness of tone! Is not that power superhuman? "We have discovered our Mephlsto. It is Mephlsto, the sorcerer, the master of electric forces, however not Satan, the cynic. "Your hand, Mr. Sleveklng! You're not a bad sort of devil!" Mr. Reeve Jones' fourth recital will be given at his studio at 302 Adams avenue on Monday afternoon. On this occasion Mr. Jones will be assisted by Mrs. Geo. du B. Dimmick, soprano, and Miss Flor ence Richmond accompanist. Miss Carolyne V. Dorsey, the elocu tionist, is also a musician, and com bines both music and Delsarte In her teaching, which doubtless accounts for her remarkable success as an instruc tor. The Sleveklng concert will take place at the Prothlngham on Tuesday even ing next, Dec. 22. II II II Christmas services will be observed at the Penn Avenue Baptist church one week from tomorrow. Prepara tions indicate an elaborate all-day mu sical service. i II II II Joshua John, formerly iolo tenor Irnriip rt fit Htunhpn'a TCntapnrtAl church, Wilkes-Barre, has been added to the choir of the Penn Avenue Bap tist church. II II II Miss Katherine Timberman. the emi nent contralto, will sing at the Penn Avenue Baptist church tomorrow even lng. FACTORYV1LLE.

Without a doubt they were the finest sheep ever brought to this town, as their average weight was 114 pounds each. Ben says it is a great country over there, and while- passing Suspension bridge at Nlagra Falls his attention was drawn to the steamboat, "Maid of the Mist," .(that plies below the falls during the summer months), and he was much Interested In It, and asked an old farmer on the train what it was made of, and the reuben at once told ItAvaa "Maid of the Mist." Ben thinks the farmers up there are entirely too gay.

MARKETS AND STOCKS Wall Street Review. New York, Dec. 18. The day opened quietly enough in Wall street, but before the end of the session It proved to b one of the most eventful at the Stock Ex change for a long time past. The market started off without any special activity, but weak. An advance In the posted rates of sterling exchange and talk of shipments of from r-'.ow.uuo to $3.UtN.uuU gold to Ger many by the steamers sailing on Tuesday. After a moderate decline the usual lally ensued, but operators regarded it as slg nllkant that a prominent brokerage con cern with close Washington connection promptly supplied all bids. The reason for this was made apparent later when the news came from the capltol that the senate commute on foreign relations had decided to report favorably the Cainoron resolution to recognise the Independence of Cuba. It did not take long for the street to reach a conclusion as to the Im portance of this action and the dullness was almost immediately supplanted by active and excited dealings at steuclily de clining prices. Komid amounts of stocks were offered for local account and later orders to sell in considerable number were received by telegraph from Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago and elsewhere, and severe losses were sustained by the leading stocks. The execution of stop orders ac celerated the downward movement which was equal to ',Hti4 per cent. Several at tempts were inuito to rally the market, but each recovery was met with a Hood of offerings, and the result was ai the close many stocks were at lowest point of the day. The only marked rilly was In Sugar, Reading, General Electric and Tennessee Coal and Iron, which closed la ' per cent, above the lowest. Total sales were 343.000 share. Furnished by WILLTAM LINN.
