How a concert should he appreciated
Is nlwajs shown In IIdo Patk. How
It can be flpjn eclated even In that toin-
munity of sonc was determined amid
the blackness of a l.ilny night when
the sjiaclous Welsh Uaptlst church
was packed to the doois on the occa
sion of the compllmentarv concert to
Piofessor Daniel Pic theioe, fonneily
of this ilty. now of Milwaukee, Wis.
The platform was draped with Hags
of Ameilca and Cuba and adoined with
palms. The lUoRramrne was one ot

of many of the most pioniinent nttlsts
of the city. Judge II M. I'dwards ire

The speaker "aid that lis greatest
achievement has been the foimatlon
nnd the leadership of the Lvilc society
of Milwaukee, one of the most famous
male choruses in the west and equal
to the greatest In the countiv He- also
drills other musical societies and
teaches at such Hnaiiel.il tales as are
ronsidereel huge In almost anv city.

How en aiiR most delightfully "The

nntlilpated pleasure of heailiiR Vin
fessor Piotheioe In the gie.it baritone

his tones aie a 1oy to heir No en

Mrs. Joseph O'llrlen nil! M-s. A. U.
Cumuli, whose lovely voices together
hnve so long been unheard among us,
sang exquisitely a duet fiom Seml-
unlile. Mrs. o'Dtlen ul-o sang with
her tustoinory grace and delicious
tone "Tho Piome of Life." Mis Con-
nell and Piofessor Protheroe sang a
duet most beautifully. "Deep as the
Sea. Silent as the NlRht."
David Stephens sanr u tenor solo,
"Mniia." with Kient effect, and Mis.
fJcotge Howell, whose fine dramatic
ability In recitation Is fur too seldom
heuiel, dellshted everyone with n pa
triotic selection by T II. Head, of
Hov olutlonnry times. After Insistent
cneoies she recited "The Star Spangled
Manner" to the low music of the .song
plajed on the organ. Her spirited ien
ditlon elicited stoims of applause. P.
II. Wairen sang the "Ilednuln Love
Song," and IMwin How en, who Is also
a ureal favoille, rendered the charm
ing tenor solo, "Dream Thee of a Day."
Mr. Protheroe sane a 'Welsh song,

association In the hoaiel of uncle i omits
ycsteieluy nfteinoon it was decided to
mil for the payment of 23 per cent of
the subset Iptlons mid to Increase the
membership ftom nine to twenty-live
persons. Those present were Hon. Al

11. Atheiton, secretary; Luther Kel
ler, Hon John H. Vnrr, T. 11. Dalo
and C. It. Munvllle. Homer Orecne,
of Ilonesdale, wus present to confer
with tho committee relative to co-operation
by ilonesdale people.
The llnnni e committee, through Its
chairman, W. A. May, reporteel sub
sciipllons to the amount of $S10, which
have already been acknowledged in
The Tribune. An added amount, S100,
was received from Hon William Con
nell who wiote fiom Washington that
he would contllhute more It It was
needed.
The offer of Mrs. Knthcrlne Wilcox
tn Rive n, mnceit for the benefit nf the
fund was acknowledged and will be
deilnltelv com-ddeied later.
At Piesldent Hand's silRgestlon the
letter from the National Itellef asso
ciation was l.i Id on tho tnble "until,"
nn lie said "we know vv hether they
need us or wo need them." The Na
tional plan f work reported in the
communication was almost Identical
with that to be followed by the local
oiRunl7atlon.
CIUCCLAIl I1KAD.
Secietary Athctton read a circular
ajipeal which had been drafted by him,
accoiellng to action al a previous meet
ing, to be sent to the clty'rt various
church, patilotle and secret organiza
tions, clubs, societies, etc He re
marked that Scranton contained sever
al hundred such organizations which
would require the issuance of about
1,000 circulars. It was decided not to
Kuie the appeals nt present in order
that the work of the finance commit
tee among individuals may not be ln
terfcied with.
Tim result of the circulars would
not nt this time, It was stated, lie as
satisfactory as later, on account of the
recent appeal of the Young Men's
Christian nsr-oclatlon for $20,000 In this
state for the supnnit of Its work at
the ftont. Altendy two Scranton
c hutches aie pledged to Rive $100 each
to the latter movement.
At this point In the meeting Homer
Oieene, of Ilonesdale, at lived and was
informed In outline of the association's
plan by Piesldent Hand. Mr. Greene
stated that many families of soldiers
needed help In Ilonesdale and that a
meeting attended by about twenty-live
representative' Ilonesdale men Wednes
day night decided that Wayne county
should c aie for Its own people at home.
Thev weie inclined, however, to eo
opetate with the Scranton oiganlzation
in the relief work at tho front. Mr.
clieene asked for as full details as
possible regarding thu work pioposetl
among the fioldlets
OUJHCT KX PLAINED.
It was explained by Piesldent Hand
that the association was niganlzed as
much for woik at the ftont as at home,
but whether uny or all of the former
would be conducted In conjunction
with the National association and the
Keil Cioss society depended on the
length nnd kind of service the Thir
teenth would have. Later Mr. Oieene
left the meeting but stiongly Intimated
Unit Hontdale's wotk with the sol
diers would be thtougli the associa
tion. Mr. Fair, of the lellef committee,
reporteel tluee cases, two of which de
manded Immediate attention. One vvas
that of a woman with live children. The
fumily hnd been suppotted by two
male members now In the regiment.
The second case, th.it of a widow,
was slmllat She has two son with
tho teglment and two other children
at home One family owns its home
but neither has any means of support
except the small pay of Its soldier
representatives. As the soldiers have
not been t aid, the straits of the peo
ple at home are serious.
The icllef committee, Mr Varr, Mr.
Dale and Ml Atheiton were given
power to net on the cases now before
thein and to piepare tules tor adoption
by the ueneial committee for future
relic f woik.
The seerctnry was then directed to
call for 23 per cent, of the subscriptions
