ous. It possesses all tho elements of
the best popularity and still appeals to
thorough musicians.
Owllym Miles, the evening's baritone
eolotst, Is creating a furore wherever
he appears. The New Haven Morning
Register, In a recent Issue, said:
"Gwilym Miles, the well-known bari
tone, was the soloist yesterday, and
was cordially received. Ills voice is of
a sympathetic quality, all too rare
among singers. Intelligence and vital
ity are imparted to all he sings, and
Mr. Mile possesses more than the
ordinary command of the resource of
artistic expression. AboTe all, there M
a raro artistic honesty in his singing
that Is never sacrificed to trivial ef
fect." Smoke The Pocono, Ec cigar.

Photo Studio Concert by Bauer's
Orchestra.
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings, May 31st and June iBt and
2nd, will occur the formal opening to
the public of the new photographic
studio of Mr. J. B. Schrlever, already
well known among us as the "gold
medal photographer" and "tho chil
dren's artist," who has succeeded Mr.
M. M. DeWltt. at 110 Wyoming avenue.
On these evenings, between tho
hours of 7 and 10 o'clock, the people
of Scranton are cordially Invited by
Mr. Schrlever to inspect this model
establishment, view the art pictures
and enjoy the strains of sweet music.
Mr. Schrlever brings to the Electrlo

as those who have seen his best ef
forts must admit his right to the tltlo
of "gold medal photographer," having
been earned in tho art centers of Eu
ropo and America upon pictures which
will be on exhibition these opening
evenings.
This remarkable success with chil
dren's pictures lies In his wonderful
Influence over the little ones. He said,
when questioned on this point of ex
cellence, "Oh, I simply cause them to
forget the occasion and feel at homo;
that's why they look natural," but you
will better appreciate the reason when
you meet the1 man and note tho en
thusiasm In his work and the Ideas he
has originated to captivate tho Juven
ile heart.
As a fit setting to display these
photographic works of art you arc ask
ed to criticise. Mr. Schrlever has
gathered together for hlB reception
room some of the most handsomo
pieces of antique and oriental furni
ture, brlc-a-brac, draperies, rugs and
coy corners, it has ever been my good
fortune to see. A beautiful pair of
tall brass candlesticks belonging to
this room are naturally very highly
prlred by Mr. Schrlever, on account
of their presentation by his colleagues
upon retiring from the presidency of
Photographers' Association of Pennsyl
vania, at Pittsburg last month. Spaco
will not permit a detailed description
of this Scranton home of photographlo
art and besides you will see for your

ASSESSMENT BY

CITY ASSESSMENT.
or
On Wheeler Avenuo, a Man with ft
Corner Lot Will Pay $0C04 for
Construction of a. Sower His
Neighbor At the Othor Corner Pays
6171.40 On Colfax Avenuo Ono
Lot Owner Will Pay $61.17 and
the Han Who Holds the Next Lot
8103.83.
Much InUrcst has been excited by
the assessments made to cover the
cost of building the sewer In the Sev
enteenth ward, now In process of con
struction. It Is the first time In this
cltr that assessments for a publle Im
provement have been based upon the
asiessed value. It ohows up Inequali
ties of the city assessments of prop
erties in a. way that never before sug
gested Itself to the property owners.
When the last trlonnlnl assessment
was mado some easy going property
owners who found themselves as
esscd 1109 higher than their neighbors
let It go rather than wrangle with
assessors or a board of revision. The
$100 in valuation would mnke little
difference In their taxes, they thought.
They have changed their minds now.
for they find that little $100 adds IM.T8
to tholr sewer assessment.
The sewer Is to be laid In Schulti
hsi
court, Harrison avenue, Stlpp court.
Wheeler avenuo, Sherwood court, Col
fax avenuo and Okell court. The or
dinance for the construction of the
sewer provided that the assessment
should be made in tho following man
ner: "Immediately upon tho passago
of this ordinance the city engineer
shall assess the cost and expenses of
the construction of said sewer by an
equal assessment, according to the as
sessed valuation of the properties
abutting upon tho street along which
this sewer Is to be constructed and
such properties are assessed for the
purposo of city taxation for tho year
1900."
City Solicitor Vosburg said yester
day that the act under which this
kind of a division of the cost of n
public Improvement Is permitted makes
no provision for an appeal If the assess
ment Is considered unjust. The assess
ment against tho different property
owners Is as follows:

SONGS OF SUNNY SOUTH.
Addrosa of Rev. Thomas J. Mc-
JyjuBhlln, of Now York, in Bt.
Thomas College Hall.
Syncopated commonly called "rag"
time music came In for a bitter de
nunciation at the hands of Rev. Thom
as J. McLoughlln, of New York, In his
lecture at St. ThomaB College hall last
night, on "Songs of the Sunny South,"
the last of the lecture series given
under the auspices of the Catholic
Young Women's club.
ltag time songs were very fascin
ating, he admitted, but In the major
ity of instances the words render them
unfit to be sung or played by self
respecting men and womon. The low,
vile and obscene character of so many
of these isongs has caused "rag time
In New York, he said, to become syn
onomous almost with depravity. Wo
arc Gradually being so formed and
moulded by the corrupt theater and
Its insidious music that our young peo
ple are beginning to recognize with
difficulty tho difference between right
and wrong. The corrupt theater has
been denounced time and again. To
his mind It was time some one rose
to denounce music, which tends to
lower morals Instead or inspiring holi
ness and piety, Its true mission, and
thereby making better and moro use
ful members of society.
To counteract the baneful Influenco
of this sort of music, Father McLough
lln would revive the folksongs so pop
ular with our fathers and encourage
the best of the songs of the present
day commonly classed as "popular."
"The Sunshine of Paradise Alloy" was
clven as a sample of a good, pure,
edifying composition of this latter sort.
The simple story of the everyday girl,
the daughter of a poor widow who
heroically performed a tender and
melnful office
"When O'Bricn'i little lad
Had the fctcr so bad
That no one would dare to go near him."
is calculated to stir tho heart of a
young man to great admiration for
pure, young womanhood than "Romeo
and Juliet," "Faust" or any other
grand opera.
To instance the kind of songs ho
wold revive he took up the words ot
a Pennsylvanlan, Stephen Collins Fos
ter, author of "Suawnee River," "Old
Kentucky Home," "Old Uncle Ned,"
"Massa'i in the Cold, Cold Ground,"
"Old Dog Tray," "Gentle Annie,"
"Hard Times Come Again No More"
and nearly one hundred other sweet,
touching mtlodles, most of them fam
iliar and all of them edifying. Father
McLouKhlln sang several of them,
much to the dellejht of his audience.
He has a remarkably fine vole and
slnrs with most artistic appreciation.
If any one would doubt the beauty of
those songs he should only hear Father
McLoughlln sing them and that doubt

Touching upon the fact that Foster,
though a Pennsylvanlan, wrote south
ern songs almost exclusively, Father
McLoughlln said that In the north
commercialism has practically banish
ed the poetic sentiment that enters
so largely Into song writing. You
never have heard of "The Girl I Loved
in Sunny Pennsylvania." or "My Old
Massachusetts Home," the speaker
said. Negro melodies came In for an
interesting discussion In Father Mc
LouKhlln'a able way.
The lecture was preceded by solos
by Miss Isabclle Clark, Miss Alice
Burke and Mrs. Walsh, and at an ap
propriate point in the lecture Father
Mcl.oughlln paused to hnve Mrs. Jo
seph O'Brien sing "Massa's in the Cold,
Cold Ground." The other songs were
either negro melodies or Foster's com
positions. Don't miss the grand opening of

An Ancient Belief.
The ancients believed that rheuma
tism was the work of a demon within
a man. Any one who has had an at
tack of sciatic or inflammatory rheu
matism will agree that the Infliction Is
demoniac enough to warrant the be
lief. It has never been claimed that
Chamberlain's Pain Balm would cast
out demons, but It will cure rheuma
tism, and hundreds bear testimony to
the truth of this statement. One ap
plication relieves the pain, and this
quick relief which it affords is alone
worth many times Its cost. For sale
by all druggists. Matthews Brothers,
wholesale and retail agents.

The parade will be almost entirely a
military one, as far as the men on foot

to the call and therefore have not been
alloted positions In line.

parado and has appointed as his aides:
E. L. Buck, chief of staff; Major C. E.
Mink, Colonel H. A. Coursen, William

Sprague, F. W. Martin, Fred Stark, Dr.
Russell, William L. Nash and George
Shult.
THE PARADE.
The parade will be led by a body of
patrolmen, who will probably be mar
shalled by Chief of Police Frank Rob
ling, Jr., In person. The latter was yes
terday asked by Marshal Ripple to do
away with the nuisance of advertisement-bearing
wagons following In the
rear of tho parade and this obnoxious
feature will be entirely removed today.
