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. Aldrich,
of the Grace Keformed Episcopal
church. I lev. Mr. Aldrich made an
address of wecoine on behalf of the

ISrown spoke for the congregation; F.
II. .Smith for the Sunday school, and
Miss .Ma Uie Mimsou for the Christian

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.

JUST A LITTLE MORE
OF THE BEAUTIFUL
Sleigh Bells' Jingle Heard Last Night for
the First Time.
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.
Reappointed Ten Days After His
llosignntion Was Accepted.
Three times did Alderman Millar re
sign us major and inspector of the
third brigade. The first time It was
not accepted, nor the second time, hut
the third time it was, after he urged
its acceptance on the score that it took
up tou much of his time.
Hut ten days after he received no
tice that his resignation was accepted
he received another notice acquainting
him of the fact that he was reappoint
ed by General Gobln. He has consent
ed to accept the appointment and will
start out soon after Jan. 1 on his visit
