Without a doubt the best mimical
nnd literary recital ever given in the
Plymouth Congregational church was
held Inst evening under the auspices
of the choir. The seating capacity was
taxed to the utmost, and even the gal
lery was filled with people. All of the
Individual participants are artists of
known ability, and none of them ever
sang In better voire or recited In such
a pleasing manner before n AVcst
Scranton audience. I'our of the ni
tlsts, Rev. . A. KoyI, Miss Gertrude
Freeman, 3llss Helen Schramm and
Miss Kthel Hevun, wote new to the
concert patrons, and their work cer
tainly merited the liberal applause
and approval generally expressed.
Every number on the programme was
well selected and met with a hearty
rcsponso from the audience.
The regular church choir, augment
ed by many superb voices, sang excel
lently the opening number, Culbert
son's "Yachting Glee." Miss Elizabeth
Thomas, soprano, rendered "The
Spring Song" by Weed In a delightful
manner and was encored. The Elm
Park quartette followed with Sulli
van's "Lost Chord," which was well
received. Miss Freeman's appearance
was the signal for n. cordial greeting
from her frlenas In the audience.
Sho first recited "SciglUB to the
Lion," from Lew Wallace's "Prince of
India," and gave another pleasing
number for the encore. Uotli selec
tions won not only spontaneous ap
plause, but also the mcrltoilous ap
proval of all, which demonstrated that
her work was of a highly Interesting
nature.
Messrs. Wooler and Wan en sang
"The Fisherman." How Hoyl gave u
character recitation about a country
man's visit to the metropolis to hear
a celebrated pianist, which affouled
the audience ample opportunity to
Judge the clergyman's ability along
dramatic lines. He certainly showed
that he is a postmaster in the art of

Annual Inventory
Clean -Dp in Our
Cloak Department
We close our Annual Inventory
this week, as usual.
Ladies Coats,
,, Jackets, Capes, Suits and
Separate Dress Skirts
Are being taken in on the stock sheets
, at a heavy discount from cost. The
reason is so obvious that explana
tions are unnecessarv.
We May Add, However
That if you want anything in that
line, we'd just as soon have the cash,
as the figures on the stock sheets.
But you must come this week.
That's all. A word to the wise
ought to be sufficient in a case like
this.

elocution. For an encore ho gave an
other well selected oharacter num
ber. Miss Ethel Sevan's piano playing
evoked much favorable criticism, and
the two selections rendered were ar
tistic, appropriate and pleasing. Mrs.
Keller sang sweetly two numbers, and
her well regulated voice and pleasing
stage presence won for her the favor
able approval and critical analysts of
her auditors.
The quartette began the second part
of tho programme with a well ren
dered selection, and Messrs. Warren
and Wooler each sang solos with their
accustomed dash.
Miss Freeman favored the assem
blage with two more numbers, nnd
Miss Schramm sang "Good by, Sweet
Day." Her contribution to the even
ing's entertainment was an excellent
rendition of a familiar song. Itev.
Uoyl's recital of "The Chariot Race"
from Hen Hur was n masterpiece, nnd
elicited much applause. Tho choir of
fered the "National Anthem" as a
closing number. The choruses weie
under tho direction of the chorister,
W, W. Phillips, and tho accompanists,
Mrs. D. H. Thomas and Miss Edna D.
Evans, displayed marked ability In
their particular and exacting work.
The personnel of tho choir was the
same as printed in this department

Observance of New Year's Day.
There was a marked contrast be
tween Christmas and New Year's days
in Wost Scranton. The former was
dull and dreary, while the latter was
bright and lively. Perhaps the pres
ence of the street cars had an awaken
ing effect on the people tin general.

hospltnl and tho Young Women's
Christian association rooms during tho
afternoon and evening, and many vlsl
tors were entertained at both places.
Religious services were held at tho

Rose .Million, Margaret Mangan, "Wil
liam Rurke, William T.ynott, 'Anna
Scntilon and Miss McGuIre.
Tho nnnual donntion day at tho
West Side hospltnl was fruitful of
good lesults, and fi lends or the insti
tution contributed many useful arti
cles tn the fund of good things ir
cehed by those in chaige. A (number
of the callers Inspected the premises
mill weie well pleased with the condi
tion of nffalis. A list of the contribu
tions will be published tomorrow.
The managers nnd secretaries of the
cential city Young Women's Christian
association received the visitors nnd
guests at the local association's
rooms. The cooking school was open

from 7 to 8 p. m. An excellent musi
cal and literary programme was ren
dered under the direction of Mrs. Ran
dolph Jones.

prospects for a merry, happy and
prosperous twelve month.

At the revival meeting In the Metho
dist Episcopal church last night, Rev.
W. H. Williams, the "Drummer Evan
gelist," delivered a vigorous address
from the text, "And the Dooks were
opened." Among other things, ho said:
"Wo may know something of tho sin
ner's last hour here, but who can speak
of his first hour In the presence of the
Quick and the dead. Is It not foolish,
then, to live In this world with no
thought ot the settlement In the next?
"The excesses of our youth are nay-
able In later years and nt tho Judg
ment, for If you are folse to your pres
ent duty, you will break a thread In
the weaving of your robe, and will find
the Haw later and find that hell Is
anywhere outside of heaven.
"Memory '.a tho energy of tho soul.
Let the soul escape from tho body arid
tho books will be opened. Then you
are like the city of God, not closed by
day or night.
"The old man lives In the past, the
young man In the future, because tho
old man Is nearlng his life's record.
The wonder Is not that we remember,
but that wo forget. It Is a good thing
wo do forget, for If our past life was
always presenting Itself It would ex
haust our physical being. But In tho
future we will be brought face to faco
with our entire history, for It would
be ns possible for heaven nnd earth lo
pass away as one thought, act, word
or deed.
"In the Judgment 'book of God is an
exact copy of your life. The review of
your life then will be a real drama, for
we will deck ourselves In the garments
we have woven.
"Most men are not cilmlnals, yet
there are a thousand things slumber
ing In the books of memory. If known
to the world, we would say, let the
rocks and hills fall upon us. Tho rich
man was not an outbreaking sinner.
He Just let a poor man lay at his gate
unrelieved. Remember, Just tore off
his purple robe and put on one of (lie.
This being true of a respectable sin
ner, how about us outbreaking fellows?
"'Oh, If I could forget,' sas one, 'I
will die and forget. The dying
brought out the cry for a cup ot cold
wnter to cool my parched tongue. This
dying opened the book of memory, for
this Is the worm tha't neer dies ami
the lire Unit Is not quenched."
Rev. Williams' subject tonight will
be "The Last Invitation."

A railroad man In the Mills building
said: "I was in the Middle West not
long ago nnd heard of a transaction
which I think shows that the average
farmer ot that part of tho country
is about as well up ns uny of the smart
ones in tills locality An old farmer
who had been ujed for purposes of
comparison by people who wero tired
of speaking of tho Thompson colt
owned a farm of sovcrol hundred acres.
One clay an electric railroad company
wanted a slice of his farm for Its lines
and he sold it for $1,250. Soon after a
steam railroad company In shortening
Its lino found It could do so by cutting
across tho samo farm. Tho old man
soaked It for $2,500 for a right of way.
"Now this lattor lino came In at ono
