CONCERT OF PAUR SYMPHONY
ORCHESTRA AT ARMORY
No one would be fanciful enough to
say that In an audience such as gath
ered in the new Thirteenth regiment
armory last night, made up of all
classes of listeners, eveiy person who
sat breathlessly silent, had the ear
tralnijd to hear the story, following
like a tin end of gold through the forest
of sounds. It may not be tine that
every one could define the theory of
this or that emotion, which rode on the
wings of melody and was lifted far
toward the heights where the earth
hampered soul mav not dwell nil tho
days of mortal life.
But this Is true, thnt tho noble or
chestra spoke n message to each one,
and for a little hour thut message shut
out all sordid sounds, all rasping ciles,
from the trumpet of tho world,
Never at any time has an orchestral
concert so satisfactory in every respect
been presented hero, Thnt tho stond
nrd of musical taste has been so well
preserved for the past year Is duo to
Fred C. Hand, and It Is nut too much
to suy that tho public appieclates his
etforts. The Young Women's Christian
association, under whoso auspices the
concert was given, should be well re
warded as a result of tho entertain
ment. Einll Pour Ih u wonderful conductor.
Almost grotesque at times In his ab

harp of ninny exquisitely attuned
strings, was swept by his hand ns If,
Indeed, it were, the hand of a magician.
Ono could read the story of thut
wondrous Fifth Symphony us the alle
gretto, with Its lovely hope, led on Into
tho woodland, wheio tho tiees whisper
und the streams flash In tho sunlight,
and on yet Into the shadow, where Jhu
feais, tho terror of an unnamed dis

Interpretation, Indeed, was that of the
orchestra, when the solemn pulsation
shuck the ear with un ominous dread
und suddenly, like it vision, came the
knowledge thut truly ''Fate wus knock

of symphonies had declared when ho
wrote this in his happiness, yet still
foreseeing tho sorrow that was to como
to him In tliu hopelessness of his love.
Much had been expected of tho Tann

It sent tho listener Into a reverie of

The Costello men were lust night

There were to have been primaries
last night to nominate candidates for
the poor board, but diligent Inquiry
failed to discover any. Secretary Mur

D. J. Reedy Is the only one talked of

REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES.
The Republican primaries for the
purpose of selecting a candidate for
city controller were to have been held
yesterday, but the fact mat Evan Mor
ris was the only candidate to regis
ter obviated the necessity for pri
maries, except In a few districts, mere
ly to observe the formalities. In most
of the districts, however, vigilance
committees were chosen.
Wednesday the return judges will
meet in the Central Republican club
rooms and formally declare Mr. Mor
ris the Republican candidate for city
controller.
Sixth Ward.
The Republicans of the Sixth ward
conducted prlmnrles yesterday after
noon and last evening and endorsed
the fallowing Democratic candidates:
Select councilman, John E. Regan;
common couucllmen, P. F. Calpln and
John F. McGreevey. The only election
officers named were nominated In the
Third district and were as follows:
Judge of election, William B. Davis;
inspector of election, Roland Roberts;
register of voters, Goiner Thomas.
Eighth Ward.
The Republicans of the Eighth ward
caucused last night in Magistrate W.
S. Millar's office on Wyoming avenue
and nominated tin entire ward ticket
and district officers without a hitch.
W. A. Raub was chairman of the cau

Fred Durr, former select councilman
from the ward, was nominated for that
ofilce, while Jacob Hnrrls, of the Flats,
was chosen as the candidate for com

Ninth Ward.
AV. J. Welsh, the well-known Insur
ance ngentr was nominated by the Re
publicans of the ward for school con-
culed the opera, and even the orchestra
broke down In wild mirth at the over
ture. Surely, from thu first note of the
Pilgrim chorus, on through where the
cry of the penitent rang out, where the
shepherd's pipe lifted Its Innocent
song the seductive, sensuous music of
the Venusberg echoed, until the splen
did triumphal finale, the orchestra
reached tho true Wagner Ideal.
The Grieg suite was among the most
dramatically effective numbers, lb
sen's weird tttlo of he wanderer, who
Rip Vnn Wlnklo-llko penetrated Inlo
the mountain cavern and stumbled on
tho woo people In their hiding place,
wns relncnrnated lu tho "Peer G-ynt"
movement. This was followed by the
exquisite "Trautnerel" of Schumann,
the stringed Instruments In their en
semble work giving an Interpretation
whoio fineness anil delicacy was flaw
less. The wild and teckless Hungarian
Match, from Berlioz's "Damnation of
Faust," wns wonderfully strong, ns
given under Mr. Paur's direction.
MIbs Electa Clifford sustained tho
truth of all the pleasant things that
have been said about her both In Eu
rope and America, Tiio sweetness of
her volco Is seldom equalled. Its
quality and power were tested In tho
mod sceno from "Hamlet." That dif
ficult nrla was superbly sung. Her
upper notes aro Ilka crystal with none
of the chill Implied by this term. Rip
pling, tender and faultlessly true sho
sang just ns some bright bird sings on
a summer dav.
Miss Clifford Is entirely satisfying In
her personnel as lu her volco, As nn
epcoro sho sang it churmlugly dainty
song, "No Ono Saw It All," by Loewe,
Every tender, faintest trill of her tones
could be heard In the uttermost corner
of tho room.
Arthur Ilochimm wus eminently
pleasing In his ptuno work. Ho has a
singularly beautiful quality of tune,
pearly and tender, The Liszt Concerto
was superb. Trembling over the very
edge of symbolism, there was still a
modern-duy practicality In his senti
ment which evoked enthusiasm. Tho
brilliant and Intricate effect so marked
In this an nugemeut was Intensified.
His llttjc oncote was something to
live long In memory. He Is so modest
that It Is generally understood to be a
"Slumber Song," by Tsclmlkowsky,
but it Is in truth of his own composi
tion, and nothing more poetically love
ly can be Imagined.

KEEPING OUT
SMALL-POX
HEALTH AUTHORITIES TAKING
EVERY PRECAUTION.
Superintendent Allen Advises Citi
zens to Keep Awnjr from Plttston
und Is Hopeful That Small-Pox
Won't TJovolope Here Says That
tho Disoaao Is Not Nocossarlly n
Fatal One Poor Board Decldos to
Quarnntlno Hillside Home and to
Havo Inmates Vaccinated.
Every precautionary measure that H
Is possible to take Is being taken by
tho health authorities of this city to
prevent the small-pox epidemic now
raging In Plttston from spreading here.
Stops nro also being taken to properly
euro for nnd handle any cases which
may break out within thu city limits.
Dr. AV. E. Allen, superintendent of
the bureau of health, when seen yes
terday afternoon by a Tribune man
said;
"There are not many precautions to
bo taken just at tho present time.
We're going to Insist that every
child who attends schoool shall
either linvo been vaccinated or shall
have had small-pox before. I have or
dered the local laundries to take no
more laundry packages from Plttston
or lt,s Immediate vicinity, and I udvlsc
our citizens to keep as far away froiri
Plttston as they can. Further than
that there Is very little that can be
dono nt present.
"I am hopeful, that small-pox will
not develop In this city, but It will be
rather remarkable If It does not. Our
present Immunity I trace largely to the
fact that nearly all tho school chil
dren and a large percentage of the
adults have been vaccinated during the
past year or more. I am Inclined lo
believe also that our action In prohib
iting the running of excursions from
down the valley this Inst summer hail
the elfect of keeping away from this
city ninny persons with whom It might
have been dangerous for our citizens
to come in touch with.
PAD FEATURES OF IT.
"Tho bad features of the present epi
demic in Plttston is the fact that tho
main roads lending from that city to
this are all thickly settled. Where ono
settlement ends another begins, and to
all Intents and purposes, all comprise
one city."
Wheii atked to say something about
tho disease itself, the doctor said:
"The impression prevailing among
the majority of people that small-pox
Is almost always a fatal disease is
an erroneous one. The percentage of
deaths to a given number of cases of
small-pox Is much lower than the per
centage of deaths to a given number
of cases of scarlet fever, diphtheria
and many other diseases. There Is no
reason why a small-pox patient, If
given good care and treated by ii com
petent physician, should not recover.
unless unforeseen complications arise.
Sm,all-pox. however, Is a loathsome
and a filthy disease and it is for this
reason that it should be dreaded.
"It can bo contracted only by direct
contact. The first symptoms do not
generally show thtmselves for about
twelve days after Infection. These
symptoms are generally severe pains
in the back and head, which last for
about twenty-four hours, und which
are followed by twenty-four hours of
apparently norma health.
"Small pimples then begin to form
on nil pnrts of the body and these turn
into water blisters or vesicles In u day
or two. These vesicles then become
filled with pus, and this is what pro
duces tho most disagreeable part of the
disease."
ABOUT THE RAILROADS.
Dr. Allen has been In consultation
during tho past few days with the su
perintendents of some of the railroads
entering this city, and It Is understood
that If tho disease spreads much more
In Plttston, ho will request that no one
bo permitted to take a train for Scran
ton from that city who cannot pro
duce a. certificate from tho health au
thorities showing that ho or she has
not been exposed to contagion. It Is
believed that tho railroad officials
would heartily co-operate In the carry
ing out of this plan if it should be
come necessary to put it in force.
Tho proprietors of ono of the largest
department stores In the city havo
given orders to all their employes that
they must be vaccinated this week or
lose their positions.
. At a special meeting of the Scranton
poor board, hold last night In the ofilce
of President Crooks, It was decided to
quarantine tho Hillside Homo and vnc
clnnto tho Inmates. A committee, com
prising Directors Paine, Sliottou and
Fuller and Superintendent Eeemer pre
pared and presented the following
resolution, covering the matter, which
was unanimously adopted:
llctohvd, That Immediate (.ten-, he taken to
piocuie n sufficient quantity of virus to vacclnaU
