LAST NIGHT'S RARE MUSICAL TREAT Sievekins-BUphain Concert at the Frothinsbam Theater. PERSONALITY OF THE PIANIST ilia Appcnrnuce (ivt's So Hint of the liis lnteuscly Artistic Tempera" m cut or Hi Marvelous .liustcry of he Kev Board-. r. Itisuliam Proved Himself the Prince of llari tonesHut!t ltcpentedly Encored. If the helsht of art he to conceal art, the sIhkIiik of 'I tavld Hlspham and the piano- playing of Martinus Sieve king before the brauuut audience which greeted these eminent artists in the Ki'i.tlilimliain theater last evening, rise very near to Uie pinnacle of pos sible artistic achievement. In neither Instance tvus a single artillre employed to Klve meretricious advantage to work Vthose own superb merit made it, as it seemed, incomparable. One may with out any exaggeration pronounce their concert the richest musical repust ever placed within reach of a Northeastern Pennsylvania audience; and the only point left open for resret was that these should have been a vacant seat. Mr. Sievekiiif.', pale, melancholy looking und a typical Hollander in ap pearance, was tlio fust to come forth. Since there Is naturally more or less curiosity conccinlnu the personality of this vcuni; Hutch virtuoso who Is be lieved by many clitics to be a promls ini; rival for Paderewski's hitherto un chblleiiBed laurels, it may not bo out of place to suy that one meeting him away from his Instrument would be very unlikely to think of him as one of the three or four greatest living pianists. He has, to be sure, tho aure ole of bristly hair which Pad'Tewski made the fashion for pianoforte virtu osi; but there Is surely no hint in the stidid countenance, the larife und one might almost say ungainly hands, or in the man's general air of Impassivity, of the fluent and Intensely poetic ar tistic temperament within. it lakes the instru ut tu unlock that secret, and even then one loses all thought of the player in his alternately sensuous und voltaic playing. . MIS OPKXIXU Nl'MHKP.. For Ids opening number he chor.e lleethoven's famous Moonlight sonu's, followed for purposes of contrast by Chopin's fantasle In F minor (op. The Interpretation of the former was richly sympathetic, notably ho in the udaigo. 'which perhaps suffered from the audience's Interest in the pltyer rather than In his theme. It was not until Sir. Sleveklng began. the fantasie mid tave rein to the reserve brilliance and singing polish of his lechnliiU'' ' iu.t it dawned upon his auditors that here w as a vcrila'de muglchm of I lie key board, whose playing warranted all, mid more than all. Unit hud been sriid in praise of it. Words do not readily lend themselves to a description of the tonsil triumphs, of Sieveklng's reading of Chopin; It is enough to say th.it after lie had concluded, tho enthusias tic audience demanded three separat? re-appearances, and desisted then in sheer kindness. For his second number he offered three compos it Ions of his own m In teresting study built upon the tlleme: of the angelus bell: an exceedingly dainty and poetic bit of harmonized melody culled "Forest Fchoes;" and a valso de concert of exceptional 1 i II llance. For an encore he gave Mendel ssohn's "With Wings of Song," sound ing Hip melody on the piano with the distinct ncsK ami purity and almost with the warmth of Ihe human voice. His third number comprised a romance by Tw haikowsky ; a minuet by Hizet and Moszkowski's familiar tarentelle In O Hat, which afforded him perhnps the best opportunity -of the evening to ex hibit the marvels of his truly wonderful techiiiue. To one who undertakes to speak of Mr. Pdeveklng's playing as the writer of this notice does, without critical knowledge or pretension, and only with il wish to record impressions, there is left to lie said simply that very rarely, indeed, does It come within one'sjiriv llcge to hear nn artist unitine; so inti mately the poetic temperament with a manual mastery of the piano forte leaving, it would seem, absolutely noth ing to lie desired. He is not only a player grent in technique, but one even greater In his ability to subdue every light and shade of the tone colors to his leading of the composer in hand. Ml!. I'.ISPIIAM'S SlNUINC. And now, how shnll we do Justice to Mr. lilsphani? To say that he is tfie prince of baritones, with a voice that even If umiiaslered would make liltn famous And It Is mustered thoroughly and with a dramatic power, a fine ness of matured Intelligence and a magnetic presence which before ho sounds a note, prepare his auditors for the' enjoyment that is to follow. Is to say scarcely more than n fraction of what ought to be said if one would convey to those who have never heard him an idea of Ids nittiits. His llrst number was a song cycle by Heethoven: his next, Loewe's ballade, "Archibald Douglas" which was attempted, but not suns, at a recent chamber conceit followed by a Schubert song nnd then by a Schumann; und his last, two new nnd two old English songs, giving op portunity for the display of his many sided lyrical talents. It would be of little purpose to try to fidlow him in detail through tiiese renditions; perhaps the most satisfac tory disposition of the whole matter is to sav that when one bus heard I'.isip hnni one does not wish ever again to hear an ordinary baritone In any of the selections which Hispham has used. He, too, wus received with most en thuslajiic favor, and was good nam red enough to be unexpectedly generous in recognition of it, responding to three encoivs. "WIZARD" SCHAEFFER COMING HERE Will ;ive nn Exhibition nt Backus' Milliard Parlors Next Monday. Jacob Schaefer, known as the "Wlz dar" throughout the billiard world, and Wm. A. Spinks, the young western champion, will appear in a billiard exhibition at the rooms of George Kackus, on Washington avenue, next Monday night. This will lie the first appearance of these experts In k'cran ton, and local lovers of billiards will undoubtedly greet the "wizard" In a manner worthy of his great reputation. He is now said to be In excellent form, runs of 2m and 30 freiiucntly mark ing his practice play In his new room at the Hoffman house. New York. The exhibition on Monday night wiil consist of ,",00 points bulk-line, f.o points cushion caroms, l.j points three cushions, and a variety of fancy shots. A complete set of "(pilck" cushions from the Hrunswick-Lialke Cullender company will be sent here fur use on this exhibition. HE WAS NOT DEFRAUDED. No Answers IJIttciibciidcr V- Co. to Allegation of Former Partner. Abraham Bittenbcnder and John M. Kemnierer, defendants in the etiuity suit brought by Kmlly P.lttenbender and her hUBband, Israel lilttenbender, to have annulled the agreement to a dissolution of partnership, yesterduy made answer to the bill of the plain tiffs, throush their attorneys, Ward & Horn. They deny In general the allegation that there was any fraud practiced as alleged In parcelling out their former partner's third Interest and aver that he is stating' what Is not true when he says that he did not always have ready access to the books. Tui y aver that at the time of tho dis solution the stock was valued at $&!, 4MU3. less 'JO per cent.; the notes and judgments, $8.:1.!.26. less SO per cent.; book accounts, $H,G4:'.13, less 3a per cent., and Hint tho linn owed 15.770.13 in excetis of the ready money it had in bank. They admit that their Franklin ave nue property was carried on the inven tory nt $40,000, und the Milllin avenue property at JlS.eoo but these figures were put down in order to make a good showing of assets und thH was undir stood by the plaintiffs. The total value of the rlrni's assets ineludi:u; the lots held ill common wus at the time of dissolution S1;;s,o:!:i.'.ii and that the plaintiffs received their full one-third. The plaintiffs claimed that the firm's wealth was $J2ii..'il:t.7f and that they were defrauded out of one-third of the difference or 10,000. nearly. . They ask court to dismiss the pro- ceedliigs and allow them reasonable compensation for the expense which tiny liuve been put to thereby. WELCOMING A NEW PASTOR. Kev. (curge M. Vclh Crcctcd by Clergymen mid Congregation. The congregation of the Calvary He formed church of fSlhson street, ten dered a public reception to Its new pus tor, llev. tieorge AI. Welsh, last night. The auditorium of the church was ap- proprlately decorated for the occasion w ith evergreens and plants, and anove ta pulpit lu large letters of ever Riteil was the word "Welcome." A large eiingregathin wus in attendance. Frank H. Smith presided. Heslde him sat llev. John Davy, llev. Foster I'. II if t. of the Grace Lutheran church, and new fJeorge L.

LLMHURST TANNERY BURNED. It Is No (ircat Loss, as It Was Sot llcing Cued. Fire broke out In the Elmhurst tan nery .-it lo o'clock last night und in two hours time it was reduced to ushes. The building belonged to the Scranlon Gas .mil Water company, the tannery having been purchased by it recently, with the intention of demolishing it. as the bun rd of health complained that it was polluting the lloarlng Ilrook. The machinery had all been removed by the previous owners, the Pnlon Tannery company. The loss therefore Is trilling. The building was situated on the Ilouring Ilrook. opposite the old Dun ning homestead und was a very old structure. Il was lr feet long and fifty feet wide, and on the south were open sheds extending nearly seventy live feet farther. Owing to the fact that the building was unoccupied the Humes were not discovered until they broke through the roof and as there are no modern facilities for lighting tire at Elmhurst. the populace could do nothing but stand around and bemoan die destruction of the village's old landmark. Tim cause of the lire Is unknown but It is supposed that tramps, who possibly sought shelter there, are responsible for the blaze. UNIQUE CHRISTMAS DISPLAY. It Can He Seen nt Alex. Dunn's lint Store. There Is no Christmas display In the city, probably which attracts more at tention than that of Alex. Dunn, the hatter. Alongside uf his store Is a plat form on which a real live Santa Claus is seated in a real sleigh to which a reindeer is attached. There is no time from early morning until lute ut night when a crowd is not discernable around the jolly-faced old fellow. Scores of children each day crawl up on the platform occupied by Santa I'luus tu whisper in his willing ear the gifts they most desire for Christmas.

PROMISE OF SCRANTON WEATHER It Continues Cold and Promises to ' tirow Coldcr-Uimiicns Men Are " Ilnppy nnd the Ituilruad .Men and ' .Miners Hope to Ho Hnppy Soou. There Wns Not Kuough Suow to In teileie with Street Car TralBc. The snow fall of yesterday and last evening was hulled with pleasure by young and old. Christmas without s'now makes the heart Bad. There wus not enough uf it to make sleighing possible, except on the asphalted streets, but the jingle of bells was heard on these thoroughfares ' last evening. It seemed probable during the after noon that a heavy fall would come and that the ground would lie whitened to a uipth of several inches, but this hope was disappointed hy the appearance of tlK' moon from behind the clouds, and it m'dnlght u clear sky overcast the city. The merchants had been anxiously longing for tin- beautiful, for It is an ll'ctntlve to better business at Yuletlde, they say. The small boy likes to see the snow because it provides enjoy ment for him with his sled. It gives the blacksmith more work, and it gives t'.io tool man a greuter demand for his anthracite. In the office of the Scranton Trac tion company a notice Is posted re quiting the employes to be ready to re spond in case of a heavy fall. So far the running of its cars has not been Intel rupted to any extent. The sweepers- were sent out over all the lines yes teiuay. " To the railroad men the snow and promised cold weather are the greatest boons, almost, that could be vouch safed. There is such a dullness at present that many conductors have been put buck ut braking and new brakemen have had to be dismissed. Less than half the usual number of trains were "worked out" on the board lust night. Whut colder weather would mean to the miners need not be dwelt upon. Their deplorable condition and the beneficent change that would re sult from a good, long cold snap are tou familiar to Scrantoriians. GREAT SHOW THIS WEEK. .Malinger Davis Oilers a Fine Per lorinniicc to His Patrons. "Little Hoy Hlue" Is the bill at Davis' theater this week, and It is not saying too much to state that it Is one of the best bills that the house hus presented. It is a pantominc with pauses at ap propriate Intervals for specialties. Harry Thorne is the clown and Matt McCoruiick eusuys the roll of panta loon. Among the scenes presented are "Moonlit Abbey," "Farm of Plenty." "Police Station und Shoe Shop," "The Mystic Chamber," "The Palace of Nov ell y," "Maker Shop and Fire Works Store," "Abode of Darkness," and "The Grotto of Happiness," In each scene there is a different specialty introduced by such famous purveyors of fun and bewilderment as Dick Leggett, change artist and vocalist; Alice Jennings, Eddie O'P.rlen und little Anna Mabel O'Hrlen, in soiil's, dunces and a novel sparring exhibition; Maria Wynne, songs nnd clog dances; the three Menus, contortionists and knockabout come dians, and Levinne und Month, equili brists. The feature of the entertainment Is the sparring of Alice Jennings. She IS a clever boxer and manages to make thing quite lively for her spaning purtner, Eddie O'Hrlen, who is un old lioxlng Instructor. They gave a three round bout without any more hippo dromlng than is seen in the average sparring match on the stage. The way Aiiss Jennings handles her "dukes" would cause the ordinary lightweight to huullilu nli., nt fn',.lnn liv tcltli tl.a mitts. O'Hrlen Is also an exceedingly clever sparrer and during his stay of fers $."i0 to any man who can be Induced to stand up for a four round go. HE IS STILL INSPECTOR MILLAR.

Warrants Issued for I-oar Twentieth Ward .Men by Alderman Millnr. For some past the Scranton Gas and Water company has been annoyed by men stealing timber from the land In lloarlng Hrook township.
