BENEFIT FOR THE HOME.
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.

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

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."

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.
If the attack on McHale's papers Is
effective he cannot serve In the city
council and Hush, as the candidate re
ceiving the next highest number of
votes, will be entitled to the seat.

THE INSTITUTE
CLOSES TO-DAY
LAST SESSION WILL BE HELD
THIS MORNING.
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,

possible to obtain restful sleep, nnd

tims prompt relief and permanent cure.
