WELL-KNOWN CLARIONET PHYER.
Clnrence IL Knowles Will lie Heard
xv'tli Symphony Orchestra.
Claret, e E. Knowles, the xvell-known
solo clarionet player, has returned to
Scranton for good. He lias been per
manently engaged with the Symphony
Orchestra society of Scranton. He Is
without a peer in the state of Penn
sylvania as a performer, having played
with Gllmore and several other equally
fine organizations.
The solo oboist and also the solo
bassoon player of the late Anton Seldl's
celebr "d orchestra have also been
engaged for this concert. Mr. Knemp
bel. the bassoon player, Is coming all
the way from Montreal to be present.
Mr. Eller, the oboist, Is undoubtedly
the greatest living exponent of the
oboe. His tone Is of a richness and
purity unexcelled In the United States.
There xvlll also be Mr. Victor L.
Shaeffer, late of the Waldorf-Astoria
orchestra, New York city, and former
ly solo flutist at Ponee de Leon, the
largest of society's winter resorts in
Florida. He has lately purchased a
flute made by Boehm and Mendler, of
Munchen, Germany.
Altogether, the reed section, consist
ing if piccolo, txvo ilutes, two obol, two
clarionets, and txvo bassoons, xvlll be
the finest over assembled In Scranton.
One of the greatest evils of the or
chestras of today Is having one or two
good reed performers and a large num
ber of mediocre assistants xvho simply
ruin the xvhole effect. This has been
carefully avoided by the society, for,
although many applicants hax-e como
forward as reed players, only the mini
mum has been selected, making this
section the best possible. The diagram
for the concert opens today at the
Lyceum theatre.

Teachers' Singing.
AlEANT AS COMPLIMENT, OF COURSE.
Fourth Day of tho City Touchers' in.
tltutr Opens xvlth n Senson ol Pat
riotic Slnclng Hint Kvokos Iroui the
Superintendent tho Remark: "II
Sptuii Hoard You Sing It Hint Wny,
Thoro Would llo No Wur" Doctor
Nprnguo on Lituratuic.
The singing at the opening of yes
tei day's session of the city teachers'
institute xvas one of the principal fea
tures of the day. When thu opening
song had been concluded Superintend
ent Howell requested Professor Derman
to have "The Star Spangled Banner"
sung. It xvas given xvlth such a spirit
a to call from the superintendent the
remark: "If Spain hcaid you sing it
that way there xvould be no x-nr." The
musical exercises closed xvlth a. rendi
tion of "Preedont and L'nlon," to thu air
of the Marseillaise.
Professor 11. J. Hockcnberry, of the
Carbondalo public schools, gave a.
lecture on the vnlue of declamations.
Hosuggested that teachers should have
their pupfls ilearn and declaim the
gems of poetry and oratory 'both for
the good It effects In forming style and
for the unnobllng sentiment they
teach. Among his contentions was one
to the effect that It Is best for the
sake of style not to rend too guat a
variety of xvorks. Kossuth, he said,
xvhose English orations are so much ad
mired, learned all he knew cf the lan
guage fiom a single volume of Shakes
peare. PROF. AVKLLS' DLSCOl'RSE.
Prof. A. 11. Well, Instructor In chem
istry In tho high school, pave an Inter
esting: discourse on "Gieat Principles
and Simple Experiments," illustrating
it xvlth practical experiments. It xvas
on e.f the most entertaining numbers,
of the Institute programme.
Dr. Sprague closed the session with a
talk on poetry, analyzing ti'X'eral fam
ous xvorks to shoxv their conjunction
and style and supplying examples of
other styles by quotations from various
authors. One of the remarKable fea
tuus of Dr. Sprague's talks Is the fac
ulty xvlth which l.e draws apt Illustra
tions from the best poets or prose
xxrlters. Quite as remarkable Is his
ability to recite, and in an appreciative
xvay, stana after stanza of thene
xvorka from memory. It xvould seem
that his mind is u x-ast storehouse
abounding in best things of literature.
Superintendent Hoxvell put the teach
ers la good humor for the afternoon
session by announcing that Secretary
Fellows had their March ot tiers v&ady
and that they could socure them on
their xx ay home.
CHILDREN'S CHORl'S.
The pupils of No. 19 s"hool, of xxhlch
Miss Jcsie Lees is principal, next came
on the stage to discount all former per
formances of pupils choruses. They
marched In bearing small flags and af
ter executing a pretty drill sang a
couple of patriotic songs in a really
creditable manner, the singing being
directed by one of tho pupils, Howard
GriMlths, of Price street. Miss Nichols
and Miss Fellows, acted as lieutenants
to Miss Lees In the drill,
' How- Salvator Won," xvas recited
xvlth much dramatic effect by Miss
Drlesen and for an encore gave a short
humorous recitation, evidencing rare
talent In this line also, Then for a
second encore, demanded xvlth raptur
ous applause, she gax'e a Cockney dia
lect recitation xvlth the same effect
as the previous efforts. It xvas a re
markably versatilo peiformanci.
A MIXED QUARTETTE.
The Misses Lewis and Grlflia ami
Messrs. Edwards and Owens very
pleasantly sang a couple of selections,
the encore number, a "Good Night"
song being rendered in an exceptionally
clever manner.
The concluding lecture of the day xvas
a continuation of the analytical treat
ise of poetry by Dr. Sprague. Like the
morning effort It xvas a learned and
Interesting talk and xvas eagerly lis
tened to by the audience.
The institute xvlll ciose today at noon.
A lecture on Geometry by Miss Mattle
H. Gregg, of the high school, and an
address by Professor George P. Bible,
of the Stroudslmrg Normal school, are
the features of the programme.

xvent to Wilkes-Bane to visit the
schools there and observe the methods
ol teaching there employed.
