OPENING OF ABT EXHIBITION.
Great Crowd Thronged the Scranton
Club Xast Night.
An event ot exceptional Importance
Interested a large number ot guests nt
the Scranton club last nlcht, on the
occasion of tho opening or the Associ
ated Illustrators' Exhibition. Just how
Important this delightful affair was enn
scarcely be realized or the rooms would
have been thronged to a still greater
desree.
This exhibition marks au era not
only for Scranton, but for this country.
It Is far more complete, as arranged In
the Scranton club, than it was In New
York, and it Is to be seen only here and
in Cincinnati and Chicago. That it is
here for the coming week is due to the
public spirit of Thomas E. Jones, of
the Scranton club. It came about
through his friendship with II. S.
Fleming, a member of the board ot
control of the Associated Artists, who
Is also an out of town member ot the
Scranton club.
Much interest last night was due to
the presence of A. B. Wenzell, prob
ably the most distinguished artist In
many lines connected with illustrating
in this or any other country, and the
distinguished Luis L. Mora, Reginald
B. Birch and Mr. Fleming. Mr. and Mrs.
Mora and Mr. and Mrs. Birch arc
guests at "Fieldstone," Mr. Jones'
suburban home.
Mr. Fleming received the guests with
Mr. Jones last night, and made any
number of friends. Ho will be here
again during the exhibition, and ex
pects to have Mr. and Mrs. Otto Bacher
and perhaps John and Henry Hutt up
next week.
Mr. "VVenzell's pictures were the; centre
of attraction much of the time. People
stayed long to look at the great orig
inal of "Tho Gifts," the first ot that
wonderful series of Christmas pictures,,
which In its illuminated richness, such
as few artists besides Abbey can de
pict, was followed by "The Proces
sional," a religious view of the holiday,
and then by the Bacchanalian aspect.
This large piece, so splendid in detail
and sumptuous In accessories, is valued
at a thousand dollars. It may Interest
those who linger before it to know that
the model for the little page, who pre
sents the gift, was Mr. Wenzell's small
son.
Mr. Mora's "Old Bachelor's "Wooing"
is one of the gems of the collection,
and bears the closest, friendliest study.
Mr. Birch's spirited "British Salute to
Old Glory" is a prime favorite.
Any one interested In pictures may
secure a card by application to mem
bers ot the Scranton club. It Is an ex
hibition which should be seen by thou
sands of our people. The pictures are
all on sale.
SCHUMANN-HEINK CONCERT.
Great Musical Event at the Lyceum
Easter Monday Night.
The return of Madame Schumann
Heinle to Scranton for the evening of
Easter Monday at the Lyceum is
looked for with the greatest enthusi
asm by those who heard her on tho oc
casion of her former visit to our city.
Interest in her coming is no less
aroused among those lovers of the
finest musla who from any cause wero
unable to hear her then. The concert
in which she is to appear on March 3J
will be the fitting climax to the series
of rare musical occasions, beginning
with Madame Nordlca's appearance,
which have delighted Scranton during
tho past season.
"While it is in grand opera that Mad
ame Schumann-HeinU's great fame
has, first of all, been won, especially In
the rendering of some of the finest o
"Wagnerian dramatic voles, she has
proven herself one of the most versa
tile of artists. In the llgljter, brighter,
melodic opera and in Impassioned song
and ballad recital she is equally at
home, equally satisfactory.
It Is not less a pleasure to great num
bers of people that our own Miss Clare
Horan, who for the, past four years has
been studying In Vienna, under the
famous LeBchetlzky, Paaerowskl's
teacher, is to make her debut as con
cert pianist on tills occasion? Madame
Kchuinann-Bjeink Is also looking for
ward with much interest to hoiirl'ip; the
performance of this Kf(ed young lady,
whose playlrig has already brought her
such high commendation from select
uudlences in Germany where, on two
or three occasions In chamber muslo
programmes, she was during her sum
mer vacations called on to 'play with
artists who had already won distinc
tion. THE COMING CONCERT.
Three Great Artists Are to Appear
Here April 3.
Lillian DIuuvelt made a visit to this
city once before, and music-loving peo
pie will recall the furore which this
beautiful young woman with the lovely
voice created at that time. It wll ije

when she conies for tho Homo for he

combinations of talent have ever op

Ben Davies and Mlllan Blauvelt.

SYMPATHY FOR
WEST S1DERS
I SI !
TOO BAD CENTRA!. CITY IS NOT
LOCATED THERE.
That's Wlmt Mr. Clemonn Sriid in
Select Council When Mr. Oliver
Told of Sinister Motives and Other
Things Behind Certain Items in
Bond Ordinance Recorder Vetoed
Resolution Providing for Return
of Major Tines Director Wormuer
Reports 8,104 Vaccinations.
Ten members of the select council
last night shut down on various at
tempts made by the other nine mem
bers present to amend tho bond ordin
ance by inserting new items and the
measure was passed on second reading
in substantially the same form ill
which It came over from the common
branch.
The ordinance was first reported
favorably by committee and was then
passed on first reading. When It was
called up on second leading Mr. Cos
grove offered an amendment adding an
Item of 3,500 for the opening ot Price
street between North Main and Hyde
Park avenues. The vigorous objection
raised by Mr. demons to the passage
of any amendments prompted Mr. Oli
ver to make a general attack on every
portion of the bond ordinance except
the $100,000 Item for the paying off of
Judgments.
He declared that "West Scranton was
entitled to something In the ordinance,
and thought that there was what he
termed a "sinister purpose" behind the
Insertion ot many of the Items In the
ordinance. Mr. demon's sarcastic ref
erence to "the old cry of the "West Side
having thirty-one per cent, of the city's
population" worked Mr. Oliver up still
more.
"We are the people," said he, "and
we want the rest of the city to under
stand it. We haven't got tho most
valuable property In the city, but we've
got our share of it and we pay a big
proportion ot the taxes. We know our
rights and we propose to insist upon
them." ,
REPLY TO MR. OLIVER.
"It's most unfortunate," said Mr.
demons, "but many of the things pro
vided for in this ordinance have got
to go to some place besides West
Scranton. We've got to have our cen
tral fire station in the central city and
the ?25,000 for parks can't possibly be
expended on the West Side. It's alto
gether too bad that the central city
Is not located In West Scranton, and
I appreciate the gentleman's feelings,
but we've got to put up with things
as they are."
The Cosgrovo amendment was de
feated and then Mr. Oliver introduced
a couple of amendments providing for
a change in the title and inserting the
sum of $200,000 for the erection of a
viaduct, striking out all items in the
original measure except the $100,000 for
paying off Judgments'. Action on both
amendments was Indefinitely post
poned. A similar fate overtook amendments
offered by Messrs. McAndrew and
O'Boyle, providing for new items of
$2,000 and $12,000 for the repairing and
grading of Pettebone street and the
erection ot a fire house and police sta
tion in Bellevue, respectively.
Mr. Vaughan offered two amend
ments, which were adopted without
opposition. The one provided for the
advertising of the proposed sale of the
bonds and the sale ot them to the high
est bidder, while the other provided
that none of the money realized should
be expended until ordinances providing
for the separate expenditures pass
councils.
RECORDER'S VETO.
As predicted In yesterday's Tribune,
Recorder Connell sent In a communi
cation vetoing the resolution directing
the city solicitor to confess Judgment
in the sum of $304 in favor of John J.
Murphy, esq., the same being the
amount of fines collected by Magistrate
Howe fiom Charles Mujor and the in
mates ot the alleged disorderly and
gambling house maintained by him.
The recorder stated that the money
was voluntarily paid over, and that he
was strongly against paying it back.
A motion to pass it over his veto was
lost by a vote of 18 to 1, Chairman Chit
tenden being the only one who voted in
favor of passing the resolution. He ex
plained that he thought the place had
been properly conducted, and declared
that an Injustice had beep done. Inas
much as court reversed the magis
trate's decision, the money would have
to be paid back, anyway, he said. This
prompted Mr. Vaughan to remark that
the place at the time It was raided won
"undoubtedly the rottenes,t. in the city."
Another communication was received
from Recorder Connell announcing the
appointment of Rev. Dr. Robert F. Y.
Pierce, pastor of tho penn Avenue
Baptist church, as a trustee of the
Scranton Public library to succeed Rev.
W. J. Ford, who h'as recently lett the
city. The appoln(mpnt was unani
mously confirmed.
A. communication from Director of
Public Safety F. L. Worpiser, sent In
conipllance with a recently passed reso
lution, set forth that 8,l9f persons of
both HexeK had been vacefnuted at the
espntpe of the city, at a eoat of about
$1,300.
The committee on laws and ordi
nances created some surprise by pre
senting a lepglhy written report recom
mending that the resolution directing
the preparation ot an. estimate of the
cost or dredging the Lackawanna rver
be not passed.
The reasons advanced against the
project and against tl)e clearly ned

counteract the effect produced by tho
deepening of the channel within tho
city limits.
The widening of the river bnnlt would
entail tho lengthening of many of the
bridges and the' building of new abut
ments. It was also pointed out that
tho city has tacitly permitted en
cronchmente upon the river bed and the
erection ot Improvements thereon, so
that any attempt to disturb these will
result In protracted litigation ot un
certain end. It Is suggested that if a
uniform width Is decided upon and the
course of the river straightened In
pinccs the same end can be obtained.
The report of the committee was
adoutcd,
The appropriation ordlnanco wns
passed on second reading, after an un
successfui attempt had been mado to
cut out the s.ilary of the assistant
building Inspector and tho Item for the
Keyser Valley Hose company. New
resolutions were Introduced and passed,
as follows:
By Mr. Vaughan Providing for preparation ot
plan for a atone aicli culrett on Elm street, be
tween Prospect and South Webster avenues.
By Mr. McAndrew Directing the director of
public works to ascertain by wliat authority the
Diamond Laud company is blocking up the water
course from the Tripp ravine.
Ordinances passed on third reading
were as follows: Providing for side
walks on certain streets In Second
ward: licensing transient merchants;
regulating city advertising, and re
quiring fenders on all street cars with
in three Inches of the rails.
DRANK CARBOLIC ACID.
Deserted Husband Ends His Life
After Sorrowing for Six Years.
Made a Previous Attempt.
After sorrowing for six years over
his wife's desertion, Henry P. Light,
of Mooslc, yesterday ended his life by
drinking carbolic acid.
He lived over a vacant store on Main
stieet, near the Delaware and Hudson
station with his twelve-year-old son,
Frand, and an Hungarian laborer. For
six months past he had been drinking
heavily.
Light was 53 yenrs ot age and a
laborer by occupation. His wife se
cured a divorce from him about six
years ago and shortly afterwards went
away with a traveling doctor. Light
has been more or less dissipated ever
since.
Coroner Saltry performed an autop
sy yesterday afternoon and found that
death was caused by carbolic acid pois
oning. An inquest was deemed unnec
essary. m
THE EORTY-EIRST RECITAL.
Conservatory Students Are Heard
in Guernsey Hall.
The Conservatory of Music gave its
forty first recital last evening to an
audlenco which packed Guernsey hall
and the corridor. While not differing
in its character from the usual recitals
by Conservatory students the one last
evening was one of the most interesting
to the audience ever given by this in
stitution. Piano solos were played by the Misses
Alice Haines, Clementine Dorsey, Mary
Yeager, Genevieve Berghauser, Grace
Coolldge, Helen Elvin, Charlotte Croas
dule, Norma Johns and Mr. Fred Koss
man. Or these Grace' Coolldge is de
serving ot special mention. She played
two selections which were character
ized by remarkable smoothness and
clearness and admirable use ot the
pedal. Like praise is due to NormaJ
Johns wno, lor her age, is mailing un
usual progress.
Adallne Evans, of Old Forge; Lydla
Hosklns, of Taylor; Edna Levan, ot
Mooslc; Laura de Gruchy, of Hyde
Park, played In unison, at four pianos,
the Elfin Dance by Hennes. The effect
was charming and merited the ap
plause which was so cordially given. A
movement from the Sonatina. Opus 36,
by Cleinentl. was played In the same
manner by Irene Chamberlln, of Scran
ton, Polly Davis, of Taylor arid Har
riet Ellis, of Hyde Park. August
Hoffman and William McKee gave a
spirited rendering of Wach's charac
teristic "Promenade a Ane." Gene
vieve Ehrgood, of Dunmore; Ethel
Watklns, of Hyde Park, and Ethel
Young, of Clark's Summit, played Spln
dler's Fisherman's song at three pianos.
The most difficult unison work was the
playing of the Sonatina Opus 60, by
Kuhlau, by Edith Doty, of South
Scranton; Hazel Hessler, of Green
Ridge: Mary Patterson, of Peterbor
ough, Canada, and Nellie Schlager, of
Scranton.
Two ensemble numbers by eight
players at four plapos were rendered
by two different classes. A gllipPise
Into the thoroughness bf the Faelten
system of fundamental training was
given by Howard Beard, Flprence
Florey, Gertrude Hoban and Frances
McCormlck, when they paycd a selec
tion In various major keys demanded
by members ot the audience.
Before the playing ot the last num
ber tho director, Mr. Pennington, ad
monished the students to beware of
tho trash which passes under the namq
of music, wblolt Is too often cpnsplcu
ously displayed, in the windows ot
muslo stores. "There is," he said, "vast
quantities of music for tho young as
pure and elevating In its tone as the
literature of like character so easily to
be obtained at tho present day."

THREE HOUSES
WERE ENTERED
BURGLARS AT WORK IN THE
PETERSBURG SEOTION.
Early Yesterday Morning They
Broke Into tho Residences of G. R.
Ammermnn, Edward Ammermnn
and Michael Nngell, but Took
I Nfttlilriw nf Clronf Vollln Tntrnnriv
Effected by Forcing Windows.
Police Declare That They Are
"Hobo" Burglars.,
A burglar or a gang of burglars, pre
sumably the latter, visited tho Peters
burg section of tho city early yester
day morning and entered three resi
dences, besides breaking Into two oth
ers. Nothing of any very great value
was taken, and the police believe they
can locate the guilty persons.
The men who did the job were un
doubtedly experienced hands, but the
police believe them to bo what are
known as "hobo burglars," as distin
guished from the real out nnd out A
No. 1 professionals. The homes en
tered were In every Instance those of
well-to-do but not wealthy people. The
police argue that If the burglars hud
been high class men they would have
gone a little bit farther down the hill
and made nn effort to enter some of
the homes of tho wealthier clnss. They
believe them to bo the same gang which
entered several homes In Mtnooka last
Saturday morning.
In every instance entrance was ef
fected In a similar manner, namely
by forcing the window fastening with
a piece of wire or metal. The method
adopted Is a brand new one, the police
say.
The home of G. R. Ammerman, of
1213 Gibson street, wns entered by
means of the window leading Into the
parlor from the front porch. The low
er floor was thoroughly ransacked, but
nothing of any great value was taken.
Tho articles missed were a silver sugar
spoon and a silver souvenir spoon, a
gold pen and penholder and a silver
pickle fork.
The home of Edward Ammerman, a
relative of the first mentioned, at 908
Webster avenue, was entered by a rear
wlndpw. The burglars confined their
attentions to the ground floor in this
Instance also nnd succeeded In getting
away with a gold breast pin, a pair ot
gold spectacles and a pocket book con
taining about $3. The family were
aroused at about 3.30 o'clock in the
morning by a noise downstairs, and
one of the members, who came down to
Investigate, found the place In a ter
rible state of disorder with the back
window open. This fixes the time of
the burglaries at between '2 and 4
o'clock during which period all the
electric street lights In the neighbor
hood were out, giving the marauders a
splendid opportunity to carry on their
work unobserved.
Some $3 In money, a ladles' silver
watch chain and a half dozen of pocket
handkerchiefs were taken from the
home of Michael Nngell, of 921 Webster
avenue, which was entered through a
rear window. A window in the bar
ber shop of Louis Rlnsland nearly was
forced open, but there was no evidence
to show that It had been entered. A
window In William Ruch's home on
the same, street was found open, but
nothing Inside was disturbed.
POOR BOARD REORGANIZATION.
President Judge Edwards May Make
Appointments Today.
President Judge H. M. Edwards will
today, probably, appoint poor dlrectois
to fill vacancies resulting from the, ex
piration of tho terms ot Dr. W. E.
Paine, of Hyde Park; 'Frank Dlckert,
of the South Side, and Frederick Fuller,
of the middle waid of old Scranton
borough.
Ex-School Controller James A. Evans,
who was elected director at the last
election, will probably bo named to
succeed Dr. P.ilne. It Is likely that
Messis. Dlckert and Fuller will be
named to succeed themselves.
The four Democrats who weie elect
ed at the last election have declared
that they will demand seats, and in
consequence a lively time may ensue
when the board comes to reorganize
this afternoon.

PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
It Is the Only Remedy That Can
Provide for the Increase
of Red Corpuscles
in the Blood.
From every section ot the land, from
Maine to California, strong nnd well
attested reports ot women, bloodless,
nervous, dyspeptic, neuralgic, rheu
matic, and run down, nnd In ninny
cases so weak ns to be bedtlddcn, who
have been enabled to' resume their
places In the family nnd In soclnl lite,
enjoying health, vigor, and true hap
piness, all through the nld ot that groat
blood purifier, blood maker, and health
giver, Palne's Celery Compound.
When Palne's Celery Compound Is
used, tho rnpld change In color, flesh,
and expression of tho face Is so marked
and observable, that repair of the wast
ed tissues might well be called a re
newal of life.
Palne's Celery Compound Is the only
medicine that can effectively Increase
the proportion ot red corpuscles In tho
blood; this Is a source of power over
all blood diseases, rheumatism, neural
gia, kidney nnd liver troubles, dyspep
sia, indigestion, and general run down
condition.
Mrs. Martha P. Lunceford, a well
known nnd popular lady of Crawsfords
vllle, Ga., grateful for her cure by
Palne's Celery Compound, sends the
following letter for the benefit of all
suffering women:
"I think It Is my duty to lot you know
about the wonderful work Palne's Cel
ery Compound has done for me. I
have been sick for the past fifteen
or twenty years with dyspepsia, heart
nnd stomach trouble, and rheumutlsm,
and so many diseases that I can't men
tion them all.
"As for sleep, I didn't know what It
was to have a good night's sleep, and
would roll and tumble and sit up In
bed half the night. The second night
I took Palne's Celery Compound, I
went to bed and slept nil night. You
don't know how much better I felt in
the morning. I have not lost a night's
sleep since I have been taking Palne's
Celery Compound. It Is worth Its
weight in gold."
