A Liszt I'olonalflo cania close o'n tho licels of tho M lima "Coon Hand Conlcst," nnd tho latter wni ghen as an enooro to a suite of soma's own composition, that needed llltlo more than the labelling to make It n lilgti clans nymphony, Sandwiched between two classic mm the Flora.' dou tnoto.llci, "Tell Mo l'rclty Maiden," "()' My Dolores" nnd "I Want to Ho a Military Man." As n sort of prcluije to a Zlehcr also was "Honeysuckle and lice," with the choru in a solo In turn by comet, trombone nnd flute. This effort to e.iter to nit ears obtained like wise with the solo assistants. Mlvt Maude ItcMC Has In, sopiano, followed a Vordl nrla with a dainty, nlmple love foiik, Mls Dorothy Ilojln, loIlnlstc, plujed Siirawitc's "ZleBCiirnerweraln," nnd for nn encoro ge the plquint and dciplto Itn name popular "Cinquanlaliir." Aithu" l'rjor, the trombone soloist, mailer .is he I" of this difficult Instrument, condescended for his cncoie number to show what could be done with n trombone In tho nuttci of range. Some would say tmnc of his tones were not musical but they would have to admit them to be Interesting. These same some would say there was too much of "popular" In the progrnmmme but they did not occupy all the highest priced seals. It was a fiiogr.innno that the audience would have It self selected had 11 the t.isto and illnlmliuttuti of a Soma, While Sousa Is the march King, he Is no let? a gifted composer who cm write along classical lines and pioducc tare wcil; of a singularly original and high order. The programme last night was varied enough lo show this versatility. The suite "Maidens Threo" Is misnamed for the eres quoted and, the titles aie too trhhil for the delicate and refined songs for they were nil Hut. "The Pmiimcr Ctrl" was exquisite and dainty as a pastel. 'flic band played a number of the miid.es to dear to the public, none of which BUipassed "The Slurs and Stripes Fores cr," and probably none ocr will be to generally Inspiring ns that fa orlto. Ho gave the "Invincible Kagle," which delighted the imiltltudei at lluffalo UiU summer and tho Scinnlou nudlruco wanted to hear It at least three times. Ho was gracious as usual with his encores. 'Hie oscrlmc "1)1 Hello," by Pullhan, was one of the most fucinatlng mini hew. His new wallz conl.ilncd some of the best worl: ho has done and was delightfully rendered. The Llzt 1'oloiuUo was the most dramatic selection, with 1U weird, wild climaxes and Its clTccthc scoilng for the wood wind Instrument!, and which Soma's own compositions make to much. Miss Maude Iteee-I).n ies, a scry attiiictlse young lady, sang with wondeifu! execution nnd taste the difficult aria fiom L.i Tinlata. She wis warmly encored. Ailliur Piyor's trombone solos were a rela tion In the handling of that mucn abused In strument. One would not mind having him for a next door neighbor, if ho eioked such softly Silled and mellow notes from the formidable combination which he held. , The siolhiUte, Miss Dorothy Hojle, played 0 Massenet number with most artistic Intcrpieta tlon. Her execution was exceedingly brilliant. Not the least inteiestlng feature of (he concert was the gracefulness of the leader. He has nil the old familiar moies and a few new ones, probably pieked up "at couit," in some of the Kuropejn capitals. As he stood In front of his band slightly elevated on a dlas ami "directed" with hU baton, nnd left band In that peculiar Sousa way, one would sometimes unconsciously, peilups, find the eje nunc interested than the ear. The decoration bestowed on Sousa by King IMuaul was worn on bis breast alongside the other medals that have come to him fiom tlm: lo time as marks of distinction and fasor. Mr. Sousa when seen at the conclusion of th? evening peifoimance by a Tilbune reporter said the acoustics properties of the new armory weic wonderfully effecthe for o large a place. Ho par ticulaily noticed the total absence of echo and the dear nnd distinct manner In which the light passages stood out. The band left last night at 11.30 o'clock for .1 matinee at Elizabeth, X. .7., and a night per fonnanec nl Camdi-n.

That's What David Harum Was, Says Hev. A. H. Smith He Also Chewed Tobacco and Drank. Hev. Albert Hatcher Smith, pastor of the North Main Avenue Baptist church, rather surprised a large number of per sons last night by rudely crushing to earth the opinions expressed during the past few years on Edward Noyes AVest eott's "David Harum," which hns al ready become nn American classic. Hev. Mr. Smith was addressing n, gathering In the Grace Reformed Epis copal church, tho occasion elng tho celebration of the tenth anniversary' of the Christian Endeavor City union. He was talking on "Tho Itellgion of the AVordllng." "There nre too many people," said he, "who are tnking the words of David Harum as their guiding motto and who nre literally following out in their lives the advice which he lays down for the man who aspires to be successful, 'Do unto tho other fellow as the other fellow would do unto you, but do It flrut.' "Thiv are too manv nrofesslng Christian people, I. say, who have never lived flvo mlnntPH In tho realm of tho spliltuul, but tro living all tho time for number one ami for the gratification of their own seltlsli desires. There are too many David Huruins among us. Some people, when they want to get a moral code, will follow out. thu iidvlce of a vulgar, tobacco-chewlng.whlskey-drlnlt-lug barroom country trickster like David Harum, Instead of seeking the truth as found in Christ Jestm for (heir enlightenment." Hev, Mr, Smith, In the rest of his ad dress, eulogized upon the necessity of obeying tho instt actions laid down by the Savior In the Sermon on the Mount. "If thine hand or thy foot offend, cut them off and cast them from thee," and "If any man shall compel thee to walk a mile, go with him twain." Tho exercises were ouenetl witji a reading of Kcrlptmo by Hev. AV, J, Clymer, pastor of tho First Christian church, after which Hov. Luther Hess AVarlng, the president of the city union, made 11 bilnf address on "Our Tenth Anniversary." T, F, AVells, C. E. DunlelH and E. S.

At a Hearing Before Alderman My ron Knsson Last Night Evidence Was Introduced to Show That tho Accused Was Associated with Othors In nn Effort to Injuro the Business of John U. Hopewell. Wnltor B. Christmas Became His Bondsman In Sum of 8500. Thomas J. Richards, of North Scran ton, was last night held In ball by Alderman Myron Kasson, on a charge of conspiring to Injure the business of John U. Hopewell, publisher of the Providence Register. Martin F. Miller, who wns arrested on a similar charge, waived a hearing before Alderman Otto D. Myers, of the Second ward, and entered ball In the sum of $500 for IiIb appearance at court, M. J. Leonard becoming his bondsman. At the hearing last night tho prose cutor, John U. Hopewell, was repre sented by Attorneys Everett , AVarren nnd Joseph O'Brien, and the defense by Attorney CJ. A'. Dawson. It Is al leged that Richards went to certain business men of North Scranton, as one of a committee, and told them they had better take their patronage awuy from Hopewell for the reason that he rode on the street cars after tho strike was declared. Mr. Hopewell was the first Avltness sworn Inst night. He testtilcd that he Is the proprietor of the Register and also does an extensive job printing business. About Nov. 1 AA'llllam Chap pell and W. C. Cowles, two of his old est and best patrons took their adver tisements out of ills newspaper nnd de clined to give him any more job print ing. These gentlemen told him that a committee had waited upon them and told them to take their patronage awny from the witness because ho was unfair to union labor and rode on street cars. They did not want to have trouble at their stores and accordingly complied with the committee's request. FIXED HIM WITH TAVO. Mr. Hopewell said that he heard the defendant, Richards, say at Mil ler's barber shop that he had fixed wit ness with two men already and would llx him with others. AVllllam Chappcll, the proprietor of a largo general store In North Scranton, said that he had advertised In the Reg ister since 1SS4 and had his job print ing done at that office and that every thing was entirely satisfactory so far as his business relations with Mr. Hopewell was concerned. Some time around Nov. 1 he received an unsigned communication which nd vlsed him against patronizing Mr. Hopewell for the reason, as the letter stated, that he was unfair to union labor. Later a committee waited upon him nnd advised him against dealing with the prosecutor. They did not say who they represented and he did not know the names of any of them. It was not because of this communi cation or the visit of the committee that he ceased his business relations with Mr. Hopewell. From what he had heard and seen he believed that Mr. Hopewell wns antagonizing the labor element and as they were largo patrons of his store he believed -It was the wisest course for him to discon tinue his advertising and other pat ronage. Major AVarren asked Mr. Chappell if it was because Mr. Hope well rode on the cars that he withdrew his patronage from him, but he would not admit that such was tho case. AVIIAT RICHARDS SAID. James G. Cowles, who works for his brother, AV. C. Cowles, a hardware merchant doing business in North Scranton, testified that he met the de fendant, Richards in the Luzerne house along about the first of Novem ber and Richards called him aside and said that he was one of a committee and that the beat thing the brother of the witness could do would be to take his advertising out of the Reglster.that If he did not he would be boycotted. Richards said that Hopewell was rid ing on the cars. The advertising was withdrawn. That closed the testimony Tor the prosecution and Mr. O'Brien asked that Richards be held for his appear ance at court, This request was op posed by Mr. Dawson, but Alderman Kasson- deemed the evidence sulllclcnt to hold the defendant for court and asked for ball In the sum of $300, which wns furnished by AA'nlter B. Christmas. Richards is employed as a black smith at the Aron Storch mine, nnd Miller Is a lineman. POLICE AND ALDERMEN. C'liarle-j 1.'.

Delter Made City Detective. An order was Issued yesterday after noon by Director of Public Safety F. L. AA'ormser, making permanent tho ap pointment of Lona B. Day as superin tendent of police. At the same time an- SL'Pi:iiiNTi:NDnNT or police i.on may. other order was issued appointing Desk Sergeant Robert H. Delter as city detective. Superintendent Day was appointed as acting superintendent on Dec. 28, 1901, a few days after the removal of Frank Bobllng, jr. Tlie appointment was made with the understanding that If he acquitted himself well and proved him self capable ho would be made per manent superintendent. Yesterday's order proves that ho has measured up to nil requirements. Robert H.-Deiter, the new city detec tive, was appointed to the force in 1SS9 by Former Mayor E. H. Ripple and af ter serving as patrolman for three years was appointed desk sergeant by Former Mayor John II. Fellows, a posi tion which he has since held with great credit. He has been long recog nized as one of the ablest men on the force and a more popular fellow than big "Bob" Delter it would be hard to find. It Is understood to have been a "toss-up" as to whether he or Lona Day should receive the appointment as acting superintendent nt the time that place was filled. Detective Delter's first job In his new position entails quite a bit of travel ing. He leaves this morning for Hnr risburg to secure requisition papers fiom Governor Stone for Edward Ingh ram, the boarding house thief arrested in Blnghnmton. From Hnrrisburg ho goes to Albany, N. Y., to secure Gov ernor Odell's signature to tho papers and from Albany he goes to Bingham ton after Inghrnm and thence here. OPENING OP THE KIRMESS. Pirst Performance Will Bo Seen Tonight nt Lyceum.

His brother disarmed him and then left the house to consult with some of his friends regurdlng the udvlsablllty of having an examination as to Mur tlu's sanity made. He finally decided to cause his arrest on the charge of attempting to kill his wife and secured a warrant from Justice of the Peace O'Neill.

GUESTS FLEE IN THEIR NIGHT ROBES Eire nt the Holland Causes a Big Commotion Among the Eighty Guests. The Holland, the new family hotel on Adams avenue, near Mulberry street, was the scene of a big commo tion at 1 o'clock this morning. Fire broke out in the ofllce, on the ground lloor .just a few feet from the stairway and elevator shaft, while all of the eighty people" In the house were asleep. The smoke rapidly rilled tho five upper lloors and awoke some of the guests who gave the alarm. The smoke was so dense when the guests awoke that most of them fled without waiting to put on any outer garments. Somo made their way down the stairs, but the majority took to the fire escapes leading to tho roofs of the adjoining houses, where they shivered in tho cold night air until they weie assured the fire was extinguished. The flames are supposed to have been caused by the spontaneous com bustion of a cloth saturated with boiled linseed oil which was used to polish the counter and then thrown under the desk. Proprietor E. E. Thomas could account for It In no oth er way. The fire was checked by Chemical company No. 1 after it had badly charred tho desk and other woodwork about the olllce. The building Is owned by Luther Keller. BEAUTEOUS LAKE LODORE. Art and Nature Ceaselessly nt Work in Its Development and Beautifl cation.
