Brilliant Concert at the New Armory Last Nlfrltt. It Is probable Unit few concerts have ever hud so gorgeou u setting its that of Inst night, at tho Homo for the Friendless jienullt held In the new ar mory. All the splendid decorations, floral und otherwise, of the beautiful Charity bull were left, with tho many aro lights which werp placed in tho ar mory for that occasion; Owing to tho lateness of the season the utlendahre was not what such an extraordinary event demanded. It Is only once In a long, a very long time, Indeed,' that one hears such violin playing ns Scranton listeners heard last night'. No such performer as Frit Kroliler has ever visited our city. It will he nuinya day before such another ooines to ut. ' Frits'. Krelsler and his violin ore one. Hit body sways with the rhythm of the inuslo he produces. Ills hands, line and sensitive and nervous, aro expressive as most fates, hut his strong face, with Its mobility und passjouatc earnestness, glows und brightens 'with this whisper ings of the darling creature which his cheek caresses and which seems to have it soul and to sing the music of a second life. . His tonal quality Is supreme. Kvcn the most untrained ear is fascinated in tracing the Intricate shadings which ho brings forth und which would render of the most familiar composition some thing rare und elusive and glorlllcd, as (he transfigured face of u long lost frlenU. Ills harmonics are something wonderful. Close and vibrant nnd in describably rich, they seem too trans cendent for u single Instrument and the listeners are bewildered with tho nilr-age-llke effect ot. viola and 'cello mingled with the soaring, tiluinphant strains of a woman's voice. The llnale of the Tantinl Somite was a brilliant example of this skill In harmonics. The superb treatment of the Paga-ninl-Funtusie was something to remem ber long indeed. For bki early encores he gave Truumerei, and Saent Saens' "Swans." Mine. Blauvelt has found some spring whoso waters In the drinking have ar rested the years since last she sung for us. She is still the slender, grace ful girl of a decade ago, with nil her dark, radiant beauty untouched. As to her voice, it has mellowed and deep ened and rlchened with the flight of time. The upper tones have all the pure lilting lyrical quality that husal way been pre-eminent with her, but she seems to have nddetl several lovely lower ones, which are flawless. She filled the enormous space of the great armory to its uttermost corner and, oh, how exquisitely sweet were her tones; how full of warmth and color! Tho only criticism to be made of her work last night was that her selections were too short, but she was a gracious little lady, and sang "over-time" and she sang, too, the song that has added to .lier fame the world across, the ever dear, "Coming Through the Itye," with a girlish, rollicking mirthfulness that sent 'the house wild with delight. In the Gounod number, she achieved tlie climax of her' art. Her voice was singula1 ly adapted to that most musi cal of arias. It was by far the best of her numbers. As an encore, she sang another Scotch, song, "Within a Mile o' Edlnboro Town." Certainly the great tenor, Ben Davies must have felt gratified at the recep tion he received. If Mr. Kreisler suf feied from having his evanescent pianissimo notes lost in some of the dim far off corners of the vast build ing, Mr. Davies gained from the slight reverberation which affects tho voice in the armory, for his round, full, beauti ful tones rung out with inexpressible effect, and the audience could not get enough of the music which he gave. From the llrst number of the Handel recitative and aria to the last little en core, his songs were a joy. Perhaps the one which most appealed to the audience was the Welsh favorite, "The Mother and Child," but his llnest touches were given to the "Faust" number, sung to Mr. Kreisler's violin obligato. In this the upper C was struck In a falsetto note of exceptional sweetness and flexibility, with no me chanical devices. Ills encores were "I'll Sing the Songs of Araby," Maud AVhlte's" Good-Rye," and a Blumen thali song. It may occasion pome surprise to know thut Madame Hlauvelt was so 111 last night that it was thought Inad visable for her to appear at all. The fact would never bave been guessed from tho animation and spirit with which she sang. - FULL RETURNS NOT IN. Impossible to Tell Amount Realized from Charity Ball. The members of the committee which had in charge the arrangements for tho charity ball, met last night in tho Knights of Columbus club house, but were unable to wind up tho affairs be cause of Ihe failure of a number of those who cold tickets to make re turns. Chairman llourke said last night that f7." tickets remain yet to bo heard from. Full returns from tho sato of boxes have not yet been made either, so that it is impossible tn more than approximate this amount realized. The members of tliu committee feel sure thut at least ?3,000 was realized and expect that lllial returns will bring this sum close to S3.00U. Letter from Alderman Millar.

One of tho schools with which arrangements wore completed yester day is the well-known local Institution, the School off tho Lackawanna, situated on Jefferson avenue, opposite the Kim Park church. Tho other educational Institution which wc have added to our already long list differs greatly from any other scholarship we offer this year, or have offered in any previous contest, but It is a difference that makes It a very valuable acquisition and will, no doubt, be sought eagerly 'by the con testants. This Is the Cotult Summer School, of Cotult, Mass. Tho scholarship In the School of the Lackawanna should appeal stiongly to the young men and women of this vicin ity who take part In this year's contest. Located right in the heart of the city of Scranton, Its pupils are within easy dis tance of their homes, and can pursue their studies In the midst of home scenes and environments. This school offers special advantages to two classes of pupils. For those who enter tho lower school It has well-arranged courses of study leading to graduation and college entrance. To those who come later on it affords every facility for rapid progress. There are three leading courses of study. Tho classical course, which Includes Greek, Latin and German, leads to entrance to the academic department of the college. The scientific course, including Latin and German, prepares the student to enter the scientific school. The English and modern language course omits Latin. The Tribune offers a scholarship in this school to cover the regular in struction in the Upper School for a period of four years, of the value of $100. The Cotult Summer School is located at Cotult. Mass. Tills village is situ ated on a harbor opening upon Vine land Sound. In addition to the studies, the pupils of this school enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, and other waterside delights. Tho school sessions are of four hours' duration every day except ing Saturday, and the remainder of the time can be devoted to outings on land and sea. Delightful sailing expeditions are made to Martha's Vineyard and other points of interest, outside the har bor. The summer school is in session for eight weeks, and it is an outing for tho boys such ns they never will forget. The Tribune hus arranged for one scholarship at the Cotult Summer School, to cover individual instruction, ten lessons a week, for eight weeks, and to include board and furnished room. The value of this scholarship is $230, and is open for young men and women." There were two applications for en rollment yesterday; Charles Burns, Vnndling. Homer Kresge, 324 North Hyde Park avenue. All who desire to be enrolled should send In their names and addresses now, and they will be the ilrst to receive the canvassing outfits when they are sent out, in time to begin work on tho first day.

Full particulars are given in an advertisement on the fourth page. Address all entries and Inquiries, to "Contest Editor, Scranton Tribune, Scranton, Pa." STREET CLEANING CONTRACTS Innovation That Was Proposed in . Select Council Last Night. In select council last night, Council man D. W, Vaughan Introduced a reso lution authorizing the director of public works to make a contract for cleaning the paved streets of the city for a term of one year, provided tho bid Is not larger than the amount paid for clean ing streets, last year.

SECURED HIS PAPERS BY PRACTISING FRAUD Charge Made Against John McHale, the Common Councilman-Elect of the Eighteenth Ward. At the election held Feb. IS, John McHale was elected to tho office of common council from the Eighteenth ward, defeating William Rush, the present councilman. Yesterday, through District Attorney W. It. Lewis, the person authorized by law to move in such matters, the court was asked to declare void the naturalization papers of McHale.grant ed by Judge Alfred Hand, Oct. 2, 1885. In his petition for naturalization Mc Hale stated that he arrived in New York, Aug. 24, 1876, and was under IS years of age. His witness was James Durkln. It is alleged that the papers show that neither of them made affi davit to the facts set forth In the peti tion for naturalization. It is also charged that McHale did not arrive in this country until 18S1, and that he was then 25 years of ago. For these rea sons, it is asked that the naturaliza tion papers bo declared void. A rule was granted on McHale to compel him to show cause why his papers should not be cancelled, and made returnable to argument court.

Dr. A. E. Winship Gave a Delightful Lecture on James Russell Lowell Yesterday Afternoon and Miss Arnold Spoke on "The Unwritten Record" Dr. Green Gave a Talk on "Teaching English" Henry Houck, Alexander Forbes and Miss Gould Will Speak Today, The ninth annual teachers' Institute will be biought to a close ut this morn ing's session, when addresses will be made by Alexander Forbes, of Phila delphia; Miss Gould, of New York city, and tho Irrepressible and Irreslst ublo Henry Houck. The lectures and talk given yesterday were on the whole, tho most satisfying of any given during the week. Miss Arnold, who is unquestionably tliu most - popular woman instructor who has ever been heard at an insti tute In this city, gave a delightful talk at the afternoon session on "Tho Un written Hccord." She followed tho generul lino of thought that there is an unwritten record of the pupils' work, on which is written much thut is beyond tlie teachers' ken and sug gested that teachers look not too much upon the surface, but rather 'try to search deeper when they are measur ing a scholar's ability. She told several Instances of pupils who were doing rather bad work in school and whose teachers sharply 'and almost heartlessly called' them to ac count for it. She told of the struggles which these pupils were making out side the school room and said that these were of perhaps more value to them than the mere fact of being letter perfect in their algebra lesson. DON'T DISCOURAGE THEM1. She cautioned the teachers against discouraging Individual, work on the part of their pupils as some teachers do. There are too many, she said, who think that examination questions can be answered in only the particular way in which they have thought the an swers out In their own minds. Miss Arnold spoke also of the unwritten record of the leachers' work; of the record written on the lives of the chil dren taught, and of the unseen influ ences which emanated from them and assisted' in the upbuilding of the char acter of the pupils. "And what is the written record of sucli a teachers' work?" asked Miss Arnold. "Oh, sire was a fairly good teacher, wasn't quite firm enough with her pupils and was displaced to make room for 'Squire Jones' daughter." At the morning session Miss Arnold gave another talk on "Discipline." Dr. A. E. Winship was down on the programme to talk on "Teaching Eng lish," but he spoko instead on tho life and works of James Russell Lowell. This was Dr. Winshlp's last appear ance and after telling the teachers that this particular institute was the equal of any institute ho ever attended, and that he had never enjoyed himself so much before, and that he was pleased, charmed, delighted and a few other things, he got down to his subject. DIDN'T DO HIS BEST. Lowell, he said, never did what he should have done for America, nor was never the poet he should and could have been hud he wanted to. The man who wrote before he was 30 years old "The Vision of Sir Launfal," the finest single poem In the English language, should have kept on writing all his life, Dr. Winship said, instead of fol lowing other and' varied lines of ac tivity and writing poetry only incident ally. He then briefly traced the early life of the poet and dwelt particularly upon his indecision after lie left school and which became his dominant trait throughout his life. He started out to bo a physician, a clergyman, and a lawyer in rapid succession and finally did become the latter, only to continue at It for a year. Of his later life, in cluding his brilliant political career, Dr. Winship said nothing, apparently having no sympathy with It. He took up "The Vision of Sir Laun fal," and told of Its wonderful depth of feeling and religious power, couched in the most exqulslto language imagin able. "Lowell," said he, "never wrote a word that he had ever need to apolo gize for. He never wrote a weak line. Everything he did write was marked by a clear conception and a far reaching vision that has been equalled by very few of the poets of any age or any clime." TALK ON ENGLISH. Dr. F, H. Green spoke In the after noon on "English" and again capti vated his listeners by his breezy style of delivery and never ending (low of anecdote. Ho urged tho teachers to early teach their children to appreci ate fully the wonderful beauties of the English language, which stands, he said, supremo among all the languages of the earth, because of Its wldo range und peifect harmony. Ho protested ugulnst tho methods' employed by those teachers who become slaves to the text book which, ho said, should be used only u3 a guide. Too much time, ho said, la wasted by many teachers In quibbling over petty and irrelevant things, "They fuss and fiddle," said he, "over little Inconse quent details that have only the re motest bearing on tho general subject." Ho urged teachers to leave somo of these petty questions of grammar un settled and, if criticized, to accept the criticism with humility and thus be come martyrs to a good cause, Henry Houck guvo another of his heart-to-heart talks ut yesterday morning's session and an address on tho generul work of the teacher was given by Alexander Forbes, of Phila delphia. .
