The prep arations thus far advanced for tho eis teddfod which will be held nt.Wllkcs Rarro, May 30, give every Indication of Its being one of the best of recent years, hence the activity of vocalists In this centre of musical talent. There ore several main prizes which are worth competing for. Then again, the distance to travel and the time re quired nre so small that there Is no reason why, with the ability and un doubted talent of both singers and lead ers, that West Scranton should not bo represented In Wllkes-Barre on Decor ation Day and return victorious. A choir of mixed voices has not as yet been formed, though arrangements are being perfected toward that end. Pos sibly this week will find tho choir al ready at work at rehearsals. The organizing of n party of male voices has progressed much further. Last Saturday evening a meeting was held nnd officers were chosen. John II. Powell was mude chairman; David Owens, secretary; D. I. Phillips, treas urer; Walter Davis, accompanist, and (Prof. lorwerth Prosser, leader. Stated meetings for rehearsals, etc., will be arranged and a hall procured Immedi ately. It was at first thought that only one male voice party would bo taken from here, but It now seems otherwise. Lewis Wutklns, organist at St. Da vid's Episcopal church and a hitherto very successful leader, Is being urged to form a party and enter this com petition. There are many reasons why Mr. Watkins would like to acceie to the wishes of his friends. He may ac cept a call to St. Johnsbury, Va., to a similar position to the one he now holds as organist and If so will probably re move from here In tho fall. He would like to add one more victory before going. Besides, much have tho famous Gwents, of Kingston, bousted of their immunity from defeat. A first-class opportunity to meet this excellent ag gregation now presents Itself and many there nre who would gladly like to go to victory with Mr. Watkins as their leader. WOOD WOItKEHS KNTEnTAIN.

A number of those who patronize the Albright library were informed Fri day afternoon that on account of the fu neral of Miss Thompson, the library would bo closed for a few hours. Not many of those who turned away as the doors wero being closed knew who Miss Thompson was, until the Information was given that she was the lady who had charge of tho reading room. "Oh," said one, "that Is sad, sho was always so kind and helpful:" "Is that sweet-faced little woman dead?" said another sorrow fully, und those who had not known her by name but by her sweet face and Kind ways went away with sorrowful hearts, feeling that to each had come a lous and a pang of grief. I wondered as I went my way with tho others, if she knew how many friends she had among the grent number of readers who dally thronged tho library reading rooms. If she could Known, It would ho doubt have been to her a sweet solace In tho hour of sulfer lng, a gleam of golden light athwart the dark shadows. Whllo paying a heartfelt tribute to the dead would It bo unseemly to pay a passing tribute to the living? The Albright library Is tho greatest boon ever given to this city.

This courteous disposition and pleasing manner Is shared by all of his assistants.
