That Isn t Its name nnd It doesn't give trust, but the long-talkr d-of consoli dation of the business inteiests of the piofessional musicians, elocutionists, lecture! , and other pnteitalneis of Noitheastein Pennslvanla has tlnnlly taken place, nnd hereafter the amiable hostess who wants to lies the slight favor of a fiee sonsr or Instrumental solo at a charity entertainment, don't you know, will base to step up to the captain's alike and settle for It like she would if needing any other fotm of skilled laboi. In other words, tho ' thank-) ou" Job Is doomed. Some months ngo John n. Itussell, the enterprising Wilkes-Hat re broker, conceived the plan of coineilns tho ailed and abundant artistic talent llntr around loose In the Wyoming alley, with n view to putt lug it be fore the public on a business basis. His effort took the form of a regularly chartered institution known as the Keystone Lyceum Bureau, of which Mr. Russell Is backer and AV. H. Shenarrt manager. This bureau enrolled on its j books the names of all piofessional or seml-piofesslonal entertainers, Includ ing singers, playcis, lettureis, hyp notists, bands, enchestias, elocution ists, conjureis and the like In Wllkes Hano and vicinity who felt that their serUcis were worth being paid for when desired, and It then informed the begging nnd hnrrnwlng pottlon of the public thnt it couldn't thercafter wniel get a minute's work fiom any of these geniuses except upon the buie.m's own terms. The thank-j-ou-klndly contingent kicked and sputtered nt ilrst but soon saw tho point, and now leallzes that such an Institution, besides being help ful to the artists themselves, is In re ality a. public convenience, inasmuch H3 It brings the whole niattei to a focus and saves both money and time tor all concerned. Encoutnged by his success In Wilkes Ihuio, Mr. Russell has extended the bureau's field of usefulness to Include Sttnnton. The idea Is not to make un reasonable chaiges but pimply to put upon a business basis the entertain ment business so far ns It nffects those wlmfe ability as entertainr-ts forms hew source of livelihood The buteau gets its money out of the slight com-iii- inn bulged for txecutlve set vice lendcird Are much in little; aluajj ready, efficient, tatlofat tnry; present a cold or foer. rure sll ltr lilt, tlrk heart iftic, JmiEdlce, conttlpitlou, fir Pile .'5 ccnu.

AROUT FH'TY OF THE ONE HUN HlU:n AND FIFTY VOLUNTEERS WI-:nC HL'FORH THE EXAMINING PHYSICIAN YESTERDAY- TWENTY -FIVE PER CENT. OF THE MEN WERE REJECTED-THE F.XAMINV TtON IS A VERY THOROUGH ONE IN EVERY RESPECT. Dr. Yv". n. Fulton, surgeon and ex major of the Thirteenth regiment, yes terday began the physical examination of nearly 150 men who have made ap plication for enlistment with the Thir teenth. Dr. Fulton Is acting under an official appointment by the war depait ment. During the dny the armory was thronged with piospectlvo recruits, some of whom had made application for a chance to get a crack at the Dons and others who were waiting to be ac cepted by the medical end of the re cruiting machine. Non-commissioned ofllcers first received the applicants In Company C room. From thcie they took their papers to Captain Robllng In Coinpanj A room for further in spection. Captain Robllng Is In charge of the recruiting for Companies A, B, C and D. After reporting to him quite a number of appllcantshavebcen rejected for some palpable p'nsical defect, or because of a laige family dependent wholly or In pntt on the applicant, or for other reasons. RIOID EXAMINATION. The examination made by Di. Fulton Is much more minute than that given tho lettulta who went from here to Mt. Oretna. Despite this fact the num ber of rejections have been much less. This is attributed to two causes: The recruiting detail Is carefully picking Its men and the men themselves ure not so tcadv to enlist if they know of some disqualification they possess. An Instance of the minuteness of the prcsirlbed examination was shown yestciday afternoon In the case of a 1"-yenr-oltl man who looked and was tho ideal recruit with one exception. He had but one sound double tooth, although his front teeth wero in fairly good condition. Tho lesulatlons de mand at lea3t one sound double tooth on each side of the upper nnd lower jaws, four double teeth In all. Dr. Ful ton disliked to i eject him and the man's looks showed his own disap pointment, but ho was "turned down," as they say at the aimorj. In only one tespect are the medical examiners having greater latitude. They are permitted to vary the weight schedule in per cent, provided no weight is below 120 pounds with that permitted variation. PERCENTAGE TtEJECTED. Dr. Fulton examined about r,0 men yestciday. He rejected 2.) per cent, of them as against 37 per cent, rejected during the recruiting for Mt. Gretna The piesent lot of men aie in every way equal and In some respects super ior to those who went from here to Join the regiment nt Oretna. Lieutenant Dentler during the day secuied n number of iccrults for the regular ntmv at his headquarters In the Mears building Crowds of men weie waiting in and about the big store room all day. Dr. Harvey, of Wllkes-Barre. examined the accepted applicants during the afternoon. A party of enlisted men will be sent to the Eleventh Infantry, in Georgia, for which Lieutenant Dentler is recruit ing, today or tomonow. CHILDREN'S DAY SERVICES.
