It Is hardly to be realized that the
Bachelors' ball Is scaieely live weeks
distant. Tho committee b' busily en
gaged with preparations and It will
certainly be an event unprecedented In
Its magnificence, and almost unap
proachable In detail. Oppeiihelm's or
chestra, of Wllkes-Barie. has been en
Kii.ged.iind Bauer's band will also play.
There will be a slight Innovation this
year, as the music will be continuous,
not pausing during the supper. Clark
will do the decorating, which will con
tain some unique features.
The opera of the Oondollers has had
the effect of a crent sin prise to most
people who attended the entertain
ment. The exceptional degree of tal
ent evinced In several cases and th"
uniform excellence of the work were
unexpected. The six weeks of ill UN
and rehearsals, under direction of Mr.
and Mis. Dlle produced inarveloim
results, while the Influence of train
ing In the Conscivatory of Music was
plainly shown In the splendid voice
work, Messrs. H. 1. Simpson, J. ".
Oaktord ami A. G. Hunt accomplished
irnnrl rnllttt hi ;i llnjinrlnl v:vv and
demonstrated, as these gentlemen al-
vavs do, their enterprise in behalf of
charity.
It Is unfortunate that the Scranton
public did not seem to thoroughly ap
preciate the excellence of the a'fair,
and failed to patronize it as It really
deserved. The work of every membei
of the cast and chorus was notal.lv
good and the orclies'-nl a"':ompaniment
by Jsauer was most satisfactory.
Mrs. av. D. Staples spoke to a largo
audience of ladies in the spacious par
lors of Mrs. Thomas Dickson's yester
day afternoon where beauteous roses
spent their sweetness on the air. Th
subject was Shelley, anil was peculiar
ly well treated by the fair speaker.
The strange evanescent splendor of
Shelley's genius was described with
rare fidelity. Tho Illustrations read
were notably well selected. Her inter
pretation of extracts from Adonals. the
Revolt of Islam, Alastor. The Witch of
Atlas, Hellas and finally Prometheus
Tnbound and The Cenci, were heard
with earnest attention. "The Sky
lark" was rendered in full In its "un
bodied joy," tho exquisite grace and
ethereal loveliness of this poem be
ing as delicately portrayed as its
thought In
"V look before and after
And pine for what is not
Our slncercst laughter
With some p.iln Is fraught;
Our sweetest songs
Aro those thnt tell of saddent thought."
A criticism of the great Prometheus,
which was placed at the summit of
poetrv of progression, was given, and
the dramatic story of Beatrice Cenci,
ns written by Shelley after seeing
(iuidn's picture, was strongly por
trayed. The reading closed with
11 pathetic description of Shelley's
untimely death and an appropriate
limitation from Adonals strangely ap
plicable to his own sad death by
drowning.
The next reading will be at Kim Park
house next week.
Mrs. F. H. Jermyn gave a pretty

"I have been poisoned overy summer
for years. Lest summer the poison camo
out on mo vvorso than ever before. I
would frequently bo awakened during tho
night by the itching. I would scratch
myself, but Instead ol being relieved the
trouble spread to different parts of my
body. I tried various remedies which
people recommended to me, but none of
them ever helped me. I made up my
mind the poison could not be cured un
til my blood was pure and then I decided
to take Hood's Barsaparllla. While tak
ing the first bottle I felt relieved from tho
Itching. I kept on taking tho medicine
and it baa entirely cured me. X am now
on my fourth bottle and I can sleep
soundly at night." William Ran. 3120

treatment of Lyceum patrons when It s-o.

presented u very handsome appearance.
HER POINT OF VIEW.
I had Intended writing a disserta
tion on beauty and how to retain It
nt the mnture nge of seventy-live, but
my natural equilibrium of mind hns
been disturbed by the weight which
every little while seems to be attached
to my remarks in this column, nnd
1 really don't see how I am to give
steady, concentrated thought to such
a grave subject while I am thus un
settled In my thoughts.
It would seem by this time that peo
ple In general would learn to take me
less seriously, at least occasionally.
They are determined not to allow me
to exercise n naturally healthy Imag
ination nnd nre disposed to corner me
about once u week and Insist upon a
revelation as to the persons meant In
my remarks of the week before. I don't
so much mind this ordeal for I can
always manage to avoid difficulties by
solemn asseveintlons that the Individ
uals alluded to have moved out of town,
but what really does drive tne to my
poor wits' end Is to have my friends
decide for themselves as to Identities
and endeavor to innke me assent to
their views. This Is always a little
embarasslng as almost everybody has
an entliely distinct Idea on the sub
ject nnd there Is apt to be an Inter
change of opinions among acquaintan
ces afterward.
The other day something appeared In
this column about two fair towns
women who. to me, seemed to have su
perlative dualities of mind nnu Heart,
not to mention manner. I am nt this
moment almost Inclined to assert that,
like the noted Mrs. Harris, "then ain't
no such persons." The amount of ex
citement these two good ladles have un
consciously and Innocently caused me
is out of proportion to my offense. In
the first place It Is a pleasure to stale
that there are others. A number of
letters have been received sug sting
names, which. I must confess bad not
occurred to me. and which now, when
I come to think more seriously on the
subject, must be nlso acknowledged as
belonging to household angels.
Oddly enough, however, letters have
come from people who have decided
In their own minds the Identity of the
ladles and vigorously disagree with
my views. Here Is one missive, of
course anonymous:
My Dear fancy Hess: The ltule woman
you were praising the other dny in The
Tribune Is my wife, sr- she savs. tli.it Is,
s le Is my wife sure enmiuh hut says you
meant her in the paper I Just want to
say that you don't know her If that Is
your opinion. You say yon always let 1
like patting yomself on the head when
you hi'vo been in her compjny. Well, so
do 1. only In a different ilegiee. I feel
like bumping my head against the wall
for having been stieh an all round idtot
ns to believe that iinybodv who smiles
so much away from home could keep It
up in the family. I'm sorry you were so
taken In but am n great sight sorrier that
1 was. You can ask our youngest hoy IT
I am not telling the truth.
Yours very trulv.
A Suffeilng Husband.
Now this man Is laboring under a
violent hallucination. I haven't the
remotest Idea who he Is or whether his
wife smiles on him or other people.
He must have considerable contldence
In her or he wouldn't so readily ac
cept her (insurance that she Is the
gentle lady portrayed in my outline
of a week ago.
This letter Is lather different:
Dear Saucy Hess: 1 want to thank you
for th sweet compliment you paid 'my
dear daughter lust week. Every one say's
you must have been thinking of hr-r
when you wrote the description of the
woman who made everybody fee) happy
to know her. Now I am her mother-in-law
and we have lived tngntlnr for years
and I nni prepared to say that jou didn't
ovei estimate her value a bit.
Very sincerely.
Isn't that u nice letter? Don't you
all wish your mothers-in-law could say
that about you? I do know the fair
daughter-in-law meant In this letter,
but shall not tell whether or not p1k
Is the original of the portrait.
Hero Is an epistle which I wish to say
right now is away off In Its aim. Uy
no possibility eould It apply to any
body I know nnd for various reasons,
which I do not enre to enumerate, it
lias no reference to the persons In mind
when the article of last week was writ
ten. I hesitate to append It. but do so
only becaufv it illustrates tho queer
correspondence that finds Its way Into
a newspaper office, and also proves tho
fact that people are entirely too swift
in ilttlng conts to others whom the gar
ments were not Intended to clothe. The
writer of the note In her Injured feel
ings has made a mistake In designat
ing the lady. It Is to be hoped thnt
tho charges can be laid to no house
mistrees In Scranton. Hero It Is:
Saucy Bess: 1 happen to know some
thing of tho home life of this woman you
speak of In the enclosed slip. .She Is i
saint abroad nnd a devil at home. Ask
her servants or any one who has dealings
or business with her. She does not de.
serve the compliments you glvo her. Hot
ter for her If she paid her servants' wages
when due than pose as a flue lady. I v. Inn
you would tell her she could mako her
hired girl's heart warm by giving h"?

A fileiid says: "Of course I knew at
onco whom you meant in that newspa
per article and you nre perfectly right.
They both deserve everything you've
said and even more. I showed it to
them both and although they were
sure it could not nuply tttithfully to
them I was convinced of It. I am
right, am I nrjj. You meant Mrs.
A and Mrs. II ?"
Now, I told my friend she was good
at guessing, but I'm never, never, nev
er going to divulge the secret of those
two fair Identities while I stay Jh

MUSICAL GOSSIP.
Huddrvdr, nfe looking forward to
Monday evening, when tho Symphony
orchestra will give Its first concert
of this season. Tho string section of
the orchestra consists of eight first
violins, ten second violins, live violas,
three vloloticellas and two contra
bosses. The wood wind section has
two obol. two bassoons, two llutes nnd
two clarionets, The brass section con
sists of three trumpets, three trom
bones, two French horns nnd one tuba.
The drums nre three timpani, one large
bass drum and one smtill drum nnd
symbnls,
We ns n city can never repay Mr.
Theodore Hemberger, the director, for
the great advancement, noted especial
ly among our young nnd rising musi
cians, for the high standard which
ho has always Insisted upon has
given the Symphony concert a cer
tain most excellent prestige, which
probably Is held by no other society
In our city, or even In this portion
of the state.
I- : 'i
The society Is entering up the fifth
season of Its existence and although
the Income derived from Its concerts
buve never been equal to the compara
tively small expenses, the citizens of
Scranton are just beginning to appre
ciate In n degree the true worth of
this most deserving society. Some
have asked why the orchestra does
not play two steps Instead of sym
phonies, overtures nnd other great or
chestral works. We can almost at any
time hear a brass band play a two
step, but to hear an Immortal sym
phony rondei cd, which was composed
by one of the greatest masters and
which will live forever, Is one of tho
alms of our Symphony society. Mr.
Evan Williams, the great Welsh tenor,
will appear In the symphony conceit
on Monday evening. This announce
met should alone warrant a full house.
Owing to u slight misunderstanding the
sale of seats opened yesterday after
noon Instead of the morning.

The season of opera nt the Metropol
itan Opera house 111 New York will

Wagnerian tenor who will make his
first appearance In this country on that
evening In the title part. On Wednes
day evening the "Hnrber of Seville"
will be sung, in which Mine. Sembiich
will appear au Koslra. Apropos of this
wonderfully gifted woman It may be
said that she Is equally protkient as
a pianist, violinist or volcnllst. Josef
Hoffman, In an Interview with a New
York reporter, recently said as follows:
"Not all great singers nre great musl
slans. In my experience, I have known
only three; Jean de Keszke, Adellno,
PattI and Marcolla Sembiich." On
Friday "Itomeo and Juliet" will be glv
end In French, with Mme. Melba as
Juliet. Saturday's matinee will be
"Tannhauser" anil on Snturday even
ing "Martha" will be given at popular
prices. Mme. Calve Is not with tho
company this season, having gone to
the south of France for an affection
of the chei '. There Is however, an ex
tremely pri tty woman In the company
named Frances Saville, who Is very
anxious to sing the part of "Carmen"
and hns had all her costumes made. In
the absence of Mile. Calve she may
be given a chance.

A pretty Utile song In waltz time
called "The Pii ture In Mv '(cart" lias
been written by Miss Mildred Ander
son and arranged by Llewellyn Jones.
The words are simple but touching,
and the melody Is appropriate to the
sentiment. It Is not dllllcult and would
make a pleasing parlor song for ama
