IT Is wild tlmt Pntlorewskl Is king,
just now, In New Yoik, find that
even tho coming of Prince Henry
cannot diminish tho pre-eminent
position which the went plnnlHt
nohlH. Musical societies and New
forkcrs In general nre daft over hlni
Just riH they nre whenever he comes to
.America. Ills recital today In CurneRle
hall la nwnltcd with tho gravity of In
tenen anticipation that In the centuries
padi:iii:wmi.
;one by might have attended a solemn
13ruldlc.il iltc. It Is something more
than the pianist, more thun tho man
himself this peculiar psychological
spell which he lays upon the world
where sweet sounds congregate.
There Is no disputing the fact that
tho recltul of next Monday night Is
creating unparalleled Interest In this
whole region. As If the name ot Pader
ewskl could work magic It has touched
the Imagination and the thought of
thousands who have never before felt
great enthusiasm over piano playing,
but who now are seized by the Inspira
tion of tho hour and await with vivid
eagerness the coming of tho conqueror.
It Is said that five hundred people
nre to attend from Wllkes-Barre alone,
while from every town along the va
rious railroads which enter this city,
have been heard clamorovis demands
for seats.
' Most of all this exceptional enthu
siasm has aroused the interest of the
great artist himself. "Scranton Is a
mining town, they tell me," he said the
other, day, "and yet there will be an
utdle'nre of thousands on the night of
iy lecital. I look forward with strange
icellng to the occasion."
It has finally been found possible to
ieat tho armory. It Is very comfort
Mo for the circus performers so that
no fault can be found on that score,
't will also 1)0 possible to hear distinctly
.rom tho very last row of seats In the
auditorium. Moreover, the programme
is one which In itself probably affords
more scope for the artist's lare inter
pretation thun any other of similar
length could adequately convey. Think
of hearing that Schumann "Carnival"
a succession of pictures, miniatures
rather, unequalled In u single composi
tion. Some of these numbers will be
heard In his recital of today in New
Voik. It is a compliment to a Scranton
audience that it can appieciate a Car
negie hall programme, which, however,
(s not so elas-sical as to go over the
heads of a popular assemblage.
Mis. I... A, W. Pi Ice, whose long
ltudy of the organ has hi ought her to
foiemost place among our real mu
Iclans, will give a recital at the As
ury Methodist church next Thursday
night which should attract a larger au
dience. Mrs. Price is a lady of great
musical gifts and her ability as a
church organist is recognized by a
growing ciiclo of critics, She has re
cently resigned the position of organist
at the Church of the Good Shepherd.
She has achieved an enviable command
f technique and expression and her
work Is such that her townspeople may
well take pride In her advancement.

IEWSOF
V A WOMAN
SIIK WAS a jolly, pleasant faced
lady, and in the course of conver
sation she said that the way she
began to work among lloweis came
about because or Ill-health, when she
found it necef,ury to have more active
out-of-door life. She .studied the habits
and needs of plants and trees and blos
soms until it grew Into a profession.
"I have always loved llowers," she
said, "and from a child could never see
u flower trampled or withered without
u pang. To this day, if I go to my
refrigerators and find that some of the
roses, have not been placed In the water
with cue and aie .showing their de
prhation In drooping petals and dry
ing leaves, it Is not for the financial
loss that my llrst feeling of sorrow and
annoyance comes, but because the poor
roses say to ine: 'Wo would have been
as fresh and lovely as our sisters if we
had been given their oppoi utilities;
now we can't even smile on you that
love us, for we ate dying,'
"I never can throw away a llower
that has miy semblance of beauty
left," she continued. "Often 1 taki-
these that ate just beginning lo roach
the end of their brief loveliness and
1 freshen them up and wire them care
fully and send them out to those who
never can have a flower In their poor
rooms, ISven If my blossoms lasts for
a few hours only, they have brightened
some humble home and gladdened
some heart, I know, too, that they are
appreciated," she added, "and that Is
moro than you can say of some of your
luxurious gifts,"
And I thought that she, who can
pause In her busy life to expend time
and taste in inHinglng a winter bou
quet for some sick child or some crowd
ed hospital ward. Is doing every day
with that nearest to her hand what
many of us never do In all our futile,
nervous, unsatisfying days. Too often
wo may not evi'il paitf-o lo say: "I am
glad you arc In the world," to some
body who is wea'ry and discouraged,
hut wo give gifts that we may receive
them again and wo say Kift words to
those whoso lives are full of soft words
and gcutlo looks and rich comfort,
M O
Among the many methods of healing
these sick bodies of ours, one which Is
attracting a number of prominent resi
dents, of this city, occupies a unique
place, If tho believers In tho cure were
not of the class they are and known as
they nro for veracity and honesty, their
assertions would bo greeted by ridicule
from their friends. As It Is, tho 'con
unions are so funny as to produce
respectful mirth.
Tho details contain somo resemb
lance to the tindltlonul virtue In tho
elbow joint of a bulnt or 11 portion of
his halo, made tangible In somo mlr
culous way, Hut In this case there Is
no religious sentiment Involved and no
faith element necessary. You simply
wear some of your heuler's old flannels
and there you are healed, cured of
your infirmity.
The "healer" Is u plain mechanic, un
assuming uud entirely devoid of any
pretensions to miraculous power, He
doesn't chase ufter patients. It they
come to lihn out of working hours all
good and well; or If they Insist on ids
going to them, lie will go when his
dully toll s over. Preferably, he makes
these pilgrimages on Sunduy and he
conducts himself n a decorous, simple
fashion in the houses of the rich to
whom he Is called nnd goes homo con
tenlodly when the healing Is over. He
Isn't mercenary and ho doesn't peiBorm
any '"pow-wow" or nssert any dlvlnn in
terposition. IT people dcnmnil thai ho
shall go and rub their rheumatic Joints
he goes quietly, rubs the same Joints
mildly nnd withdraws, Likewise the
rheumatism; for rheumatism Is this
modern day saint's specially. It flees
wherever he lays his hands. "I do not
know," says he, modestly, "that I
have any power of healing. They say
I have and If I can case anybody's
pain I nm willing to do It."
"t do know," ho adds with pathos,
"that It Is very hard for me to keep
any clothes. They stenl my coat from
tho works nnd sometimes when I go
home at night I haven't any overcoat
to wear. They come to our house and
get my flannels away from the family
and now nnd then I find my cap gone
and have to walk out in tho cold bare
headed." "Yesma'nm. It would bo more con
venient for mo If you will give me a
little piece ot your own flannel and I'll
wear It r day or two und then you can
lay It along your back bono. That's
what they all tell mo Is the best. They
do say It takes away sciatica and rheu
matism. I'm sure I don't know how I
do It," and the plensant faced elderly
man dots off comfortably with a yard
or two of white llannel wrapped up In
a. parcel, to wear for Hip great lady of
the house whose hands lie has been
holding rather awkwardly for the last
half hour.
"Is It true?" Is anything true? I'm
sure I don't know. I haven't rheuma
tism, but there Is one mnn In this town
who thought he was dying with It
and the elderly personage of the flan
nels benlgnantly rubbed his nnn for a
few minutes amid anathemas from the
patient, and the pain left while he was
breathing out tlireatenlngs and has
never returned.
There is no doubt at all that if this
Santa Clausy kind of a "healer" would
set up a shrine somewhere up the
Laekawunna road, along which he re
sides, he might start a fashion for pil
grimages which would rival some of
those pertaining to the miracle working
relics of history, and he would be a
bonanza for the Lackawanna route, too.

Results of Aseptic Vaccination
A discovery has lesulted from ex
periments recently made by Doctors
Coolli'.ge and 1'eck which may be of
more than usual Interest lo tiie public
in these days of the vaccine button and
attending db-coinfoits. A Tribune irnn
called at their olllce yesterday to Ret
some data as to results of aseptic vac
cination and the subsequtnt treatment
by stetlllzatlon which the doctors have
applied to a larse ntimbr of cases In
their olliee, and in reply to Inquiries
Doctor Coolldgo said:
"We have been milking a trial of vac
cination by careful attention to nsjp
isls, or surgical cleanliness, with results
that have been sin prising as well as
gratifying. Willie ihl.s Is a ninuer
which concerns the medical profession
largely and shoujd be given to the pro
fesslon through the medium of the
medical journals, rather than the dally
press, It Is perhaps also a matter of
Intel est lo the people to knoiv that
with proper caro vaccination can ba
carried on In a safe and almost pain
less way."
Dr. Coolldge holds that all sore arms
and limbs by vaccination nro cases of
Infection and are not niado so by virus
used, If tho virus Is pure. lie stated
that they had found In a series of sev
eral hundred rases of vaccination per
formed at their ofllco under careful
asepsis, and where careful redresslngs
had been applied by the doctors, using
only materials made germ free by thor
ough slerllUation by heat, that no lu
tlninmatlon or Hupuratlon had followed
tho Introduction of the virus Into tho
system! hut that typical results such as
a fully matured vesicle, characteristic!
of vaccination which form, a crust of
which dries and falls off leaving a
healthy scar tissue underneath.
Tliesu results have been brought
about with no local symptoms of which
tho patient complains, Over 400 cases
have yielded these results In every in
stance, making tho experiment one of
great value to the medical profession,
and proving beyond a doubt that vac.
cinatlon Is a simple nnd safe procedure,
but must be carried out under the same
feglmeu that hospital or any other
wounds are treated; Exactly upon the
principle that every wound whether
made by tho surgeon's knife or not la
a poisoned wound until rendered
otherwise by what Is known as asepsis
or antl-sepslK.
In this largo series of cuses which
were conducted most carefully to ns
certuln If this principal applied to cases
where tho toxic substance was pur
posely Introduced tho law Is found to
hold true that Infection by germ other

i
than the virus Is at the bottom of all
Vhe trouble. If the infection does not
occur at the time uf vaccination. It fol
lows the U'-ciresslng.s, or Is due to the
failure to protect tho abrasions of the
skin allowing a mixed Infection to take
Place.
The virus iiid In these expeilments
was Jlulford's glycerine sterlllKsd
tubes, which are used by nearly all
physicians In r-'cranton, In every case
of treatment I lie parts were first
s-crubbed with sterilized liquid etherial
Mi.ip and rinsed with sterlllaed water.
All cotton sponges and gauzes were
subjected to prolonged high tempera
ture before using and discarded when
used, Hands were scrubbed and in
struments sterilized in each case in
flame of alcohol lamp,
Shields were put on for three days
only, during the Incubative period, and
then parts were picpnrcd for surgical
gauze dressing by sponging orf with
sterilized water. No antiseptic drugs
were used at any period of tho enst-3.
Dressings were changed onco In three
or four days as a rule. In no enso thus
treated was there complaint of a soro
arm or nnythlug to Indicate It, such as
rcdnehs around the vesicle or discharge.
Hut whero patients wore careless and
removed the dressings to look at tho
arm, or touched the wound with tho
lingers, or allowed garments to come
in contact with it, Infection would mnn
Ifp.st Itself very soon by swelling of urm
with redness and pain. Rut oven such
cases were speedily controlled by tho
re-dressings,
Doctors Coolldge and Reck do pot
know of nny similar experiments con
ducted upon bo largo a scale, and are
themselves moro surprised than the
publlu can bo by tho results, as It Is
generally believed by physicians us n
rulu that vitcclnatlon means a pretty
sore arm If ono gets a good "take,"
They feel thoroughly satlsiled that a
puie vaccination will giye little trouble,
and that tho systemic symptoms will
consist of nothing more than slight
languor for a day or two with a little
soreness of the glands, under the arm,
perhaps, and no local distress or dis
comfort, Tho results noticed in the ofllco cases
nro rnqro fully emphasized by tho fact
that a largo series of house vaccina
tions, whero the same caro was exer
cised in the operative procedures, and
where material i was left for re-dress-Ings
at tho hands of friends to be ap
plied ns In office cases infection fol
lowed in nearly DO per cent, of the cases,
proving tlmt only extraordinary
technique and care all tho way along
can produce puro vaccination.
