APPROPRIATIONS DGAD.
Holcct Council Would Not Pns Ordi
nance Over Mayor's llcnd.
Select council met last evening In
special session, called by the niuyor for
tho purpose of having his veto of tho
nppiopriatloni ordlnnnce considered.
City Clerk Clifford read the veto and
Mayor O'NVIU's reason for disapproval,
which was because the ordinance was
not certified to hae passed select coun
(II inoic than first leading.
The clerk then went on to explain
that ho failed to ceitlfy to second and
third readings bcfon the measure fell
Into the hands of tho chief executive.
When hit attention wm called to It
and he made tho proper notation on
th ordinance, the mayor asked him
by what right he did so and then told
hlrn that the chairman of councils
flhould have done that.
Mr. Swlgort took tho lloor and said
there Is no state law requiring chair
men of councils to certify onllnances
nnd that th mayor had evidently been
guided by tho Scranton roum-lls, who
have a tule of their own regarding the
mattci. As to the clerk's error In fall
ing to note the second and tint) read
ings, he said that had been corrected
and ho would therefore move to piss
tho ordinance over the maoi's veto
The motion was lost by the following
vote: Messrs, Swlgeit, Dlltsand Eaton,
yis; Messrs, Nealon, Ollhool and Mc
Nulty, no. On motion of Mr. Pwlgort
the body adjourned without further
discussion.
Owing to the Importance of the meas
uie many poisons wete attracted to
count II chambers and among them
weie several members of common coun
cil. They were flee In discussing the
situation, and one who bad looked up
the law said It simply requires that
ordinances be "duly certified." Hence
the question hinges on the Interpreta
tion of that phrase. According to his
piesent stand the mayor has signed
many ordinances which were not "duly
certified" and his position Is no less
embarrassing thnn that of councils
Tho mood of councils Indicates elc.irly
that they will not pass another appro
priations ordinance and the duty will
fall on the icorganled branches. lth
them the mayor will be as a nonentity,
the Itepuullc.tn majority In the upper
house being piacllcally IHc to one. In
the lower It will be more than two
thirds. Until tho councils do their duty tho
cltj will have to run on wind.

The following recently appealed In
the Milwaukee Journal regarding a
well-known nnd popular former Scran
tonlan. The words are from tho pen
of Aithur Weld, a prominent critic:
Last evening I had tho sincere pleas
uio of seeing the Pabst theater packed
practically to Its capacity for a musi
cal event. Every box was taken, every
sent In parquettc, dress circle and bal
cony, nnd more than throe-qunttcrs of
the scats In the upper galleiy. This is
no exaggeration, but exactly true. In
nearly eight years' expoilenco of this
city, and particularly from Its musical
side. I have never seen such a thing
before nnd It Is certainly highly en
couinglng thnt it should have occurred,
Tho event was the second concert this
season of the Lyric Glee club, one of
the most excellent local musical organ
izations, and one of which Milwaukee
is surely entitled to boast. On a pre
vious occasion I have pointed out that
this club had advantages not custom
ary In organizations of this descrip
tion; to begin with the matcilal Is care
fully selected, nnd tho numerical limi
tations of the club make It possible to
exercise the greatest care and selection
in adding new mcmbeis. Thero nie ton
Ilrst tenors, nnd nine each of the second
tenors and first and second basses.
Tills makes a chorus quite largo enough
for all purposes likely to nrlse In the
career of such nn Institution, and yet
makes It easily possible, ns la the case
here, to select nothing but the very
best voices. Thoiefore the material at
the hands of the muslcnl conductor, Mr.
Daniel Protheroe, l.s of the highest
class. And with this material he has
accomplished a gieat deal. As I have
said before tho quality of tone l.s really
beautiful, the piecilon extraordinary
nnd tho certainty of pitch icmarkable,
nnd w 1th three such characteristics, the
foundation of tho very best possible
chnt us work Is laid Immoveably. More
over, the club Is ambitious as to the
quality of the work It does, as well as
the quality of the manner In which It
Is done. Hitherto I have criticized Mr.
Protheroe fieely for thp strong leaning
towards English composers In making
his programme, but last night he gave
a programme in which he considered
Rhclnberger, Ruff, Abt, Wagner, nota
tion Parker, Neldllnger nnd Mozart, as
far as the club's work was concerned,
Lloyd and Biooine, one English and
the other Welsh, being the only Insular
representatives. And In consequence
there was an immense Improvement
noted from the stait. It was pleasing
to note in addition to all the points
mentioned above that the club has
gained In viilllty of tone. Mr. Proth
eroe leaned formerly toward too much
sweetness, and that he has largely
eliminated with striking advantnge to
the gencinl effect. There Is still a little
too much falsetto tone In the llrst ten
ors, but Rome was not built in a day,
nnd In view of the fact that today tho
club s singing undeniably better than
any male chnt us Milwaukee has ever
possessed one should not be hjper
ctltlcal. Mr. Ptotheroe personally also
did the best work of his career In this
city as a conductor (nhd the fact that
the club sang so well proved that he
had done his best woik as a trainer
also) an 1 he showed greater steadi
ness, ease nnd leitalnty at his desk
than heretofore. He should, however,
abandon the peislstent use of tho left
hand, which Is n giievous mistake, and
also give up the rather amateurish
habit nf beating out phrase with a beat
to each note. A chorus should not be
accustomed to such lictltlous means of
acquiring precision as this. But other
wise, Mr. Protheroe deserves hearty
praise for his own work and that of his
cliotus.
'I II II
Tito same writer in another article
speaks most disparagingly of the work
of Mr. Tomllns, who, it will be remem
bered, figured extensively as leader of
the Arlon club at the World's Fair,
and has long attempted to bo a rival
of Mr Ptotheroe. The criticism is of
Mr. Tonilin's 111 success in the pre
sentation of Sampson nnd Delilah In
this he says. "Mr. Tomllns did not
know the score, which caused various
troubles, including two ' bteakdowns.
The chorus was deplorably weak and
the work was Incorrect, ragged, un
finished and unsteady, despite the fact
that there is baldly any chorus work
in the opera, and that Is extremely
easy, and the club li.ut had two full
months for pieparatlon. If this can
be taken as a criterion which to Judge
the approaching1 April concert, the
outlook is certainly not encouraging.
As to the question of whose shoulders
should bear the responsibility, It may
bo briefly said that the singers are
surely not to blame, In view of the
well-proven fact that this chorus un
questionably one of the best In the
United States, has lepeatedly given
works much longer and more dilllcult,
on shorter notice, and given them e.x
ttemely well. Even Mr. Tomllns' most
ardent admirers as a chorus drill mas
ter and conductor of oratorio, will
hardly claim that as a conductor of
modern French opera and orchestral
muslo he Is nt his best, or that he
mnkes It particularly easy for the or
chestral musicians. The two bieak
downs were solely the fault of the dl
lector." I I! II

To sing for nothing: to play for noth

commercial value of the American mu

such services, and the American mu

Col. Coit's Open Letter
Col. A. B. Coit of the Ohio National Guard,
Emphatically Endorses Pe-ru-na
as a Catarrh Remedy.
Several Remarkable Cures Have Come to
His Knowledge.
Similar Strong Statements From Other Prominent People.
Col. A. D.COIT,
Columbus, O., January j, jSqS.
To whom it may concern :
The Pe-ru-na Drug Mfg. Co. of this city is counted as one of the
leading manufacturing enterprises of the city. The proprietors are
well-known, prominent citizens. The president, Dr. i. li. Hartman,
is a physician of high standing, and an enterprising citizen of un
doubted integrity. Their most prominent remedy, Pe-ru-na, as a
catarrh remedy has made several remarkable cures io my knowledge,
I desire to give both the remedy and the company my hearty endorse
ment, Col. A. B. COIT.
Catarrh is a thief. It is treacherous and crafty: driven out of the
head it appears in the stomach, lungs or kidneys. At every new
location it changes its name. Catarrh saps our strength; it spoils
our good manners; it taints our breath; it steals our income, and
under some name kills more people than all other diseases combined.
Eighty per cent, of the American nation have catarrh!
What are the incurable diseases? Consumption and Bright's.
They are catarrh! So are many other diseases that kill. Get Dr.
Hartman's book on chronic catarrh; it is mailed free. It is startling
to define these deadly diseases as catarrh, but it is true, and Dr.
Hartman has been demonstrating it for forty years.
Once the origin of catarrh is understood, the folly and harm ot
local treatment is plain. Educate youtself on this one point. No
American can afford to treat catarrh with indifference. Write to
Dr. Hartman for information. Pe-ru-na is the scientific remedy for
all phases of catarrh. Evidence of its efficiency abounds.

Dear Sirs- I have
been afflicted with b ell-
ingin my legs and hands,

Vand kidney trouble.
One day I happened
to pick up your "Ills

cluded to try your medicines. I therefore got
Pe-ru-na and Man-a.lin, and after tailing them
I began to Improve rapidly until I was entirely
cured. I advise all sufferers to try Dr. Hart
man, the great doctor. I would not bo without
your raedlclre in the house, and shall recom

Dear Sit It gives
me much pleasure to
recommend to tho

able remedy as
Pu-ru-na. My

I could not reitday
or night, but suf
fered constantly
untold misery. Tried remedy after remedy,
but found no relief until Pe-ru-na was recom
mended to roe by a friend. I have taken one
and a half bottles and am to-day well and

feel it saved my life. Mrs. J. A. Bashor,

Dear itir I was
troubled with ca-
tarrh for 3 years,
and tried utmost
overy catarrh medi
cine I heard of. 1
went down to Dela
ware, O, to attend
college, where I got
one of our Almanacs,
and saw another rem
edr for catarrh. Iwas
almost discouraged with trying all kinds ot
medicine, but my room-mato told me that your
medicine was all right, and so 1 tried it. After
taking seven bottles according to directions, I
was tured and felt like a new man. I recom
mend it to all who are suffering with this dread
ful disease. It Is the best medicine for catarrh.
1 owe my health to you. A. V. bTERH, Marina
