A GIFTED PIANIST.
Miss Lena Reichert Proves Herself
Mistress of Technique.
A l.ugu number of the friends of Miss
Lena Reichert, tho talented young local
pianist who Is soon to leave for Europe
to continue her musical studies gather
ed in Music hall last night in attend
ance at an excellent concert at ranged
for her benellt.
Miss Reichert is a pianist possessing
reully remarkable technique aitil she
was heard In a number of selections
which afforded her splendid opportun
ity for an exhibition of her talents.
Most potable among the selections
rendered from a purely technical stand
point was Liszt's variations on the
waltz theme finut Gounod's "Faust."
This Is a composition which contains
some of tho most difficult and tantaliz
ing tuns und chromatic scales ever
devised by a composer and culminating
in a wild llnale requiring lingering
which cannot be described.
Miss Reichert executed this selection
with romarkabls ease. She was heard
later on the programme in Interpreta
tion of Bach and Chopin. Her rendi
tion of brilliant polanalse by the
latter was especially well done. She
was loudly applauded and forced to
respond to several encores.
Tho Lledorkranz, led by tho mngnetlc
Theodore Hemberger who infuses into
his leadership all tho lire and nnlmatlon
of the Ei eat Sousa, sang a. German song
with good effect and John W, Jones
was heard in the ever-popular "Tote
ador" song from "Carmen" und In two
selections. Miss Grace Spencer, sang
several numbers which were warmly
applauded. Reese James was the
capable accompanist.

RECORDER HAS
SOLE POWER
CITY SOLICITOR WATSON
PRINTING QUESTION.
ON
Declares That tho "Ripper" Act
Rests Solo Authority for Award
ing Contracts for City Printing In
tho Hands of tho Recorder and
Doclnrcs That Councils Have No
Powers in the Premises Directs
tho City Clork to Advertise for
Bids in Four Papers.
City Solicitor George M, Watson, in
nn opinion furnished yesterday to City
Clerk Lavello, decides that the solo
power for nwnrdlng printing contracts
rests with tho recorder and Hint coun
cils have no authority in the premises
whatever.
All four of the dally papers In this
city now hnvo threo year contracts
with tho city for city printing. Coun
cils recently passed an ordinance pro
viding that there shall "hereafter bo
threo official newspapers of the city of
Scranton," but containing a provision
providing that contracts with "three
newspapers" shall not be entered Into
until April, 1004. This ordinance was
signed by Recorder Connell on tho
morning councils re-organlzed.
It contnlus n provision that all ordin
ances and resolutions passed since the
city entered the second class shall bo
printed at onco in those papers having
contracts. Tho "ripper" act provides
that all ordinances passed by councils
shall be printed In the oftlcial news
papers, but that was not done last year
in the absence of a cotincllmnnlc or
dinance carrying tlio provisions of the
act Into force.
CLERK AVANTED TO KNOW.
When City Clerk Lavelle raw that he
would be obliged to publish eighty or
more ordinances passed last year he
was at a loss to know whether he
should publish them In three or In four
newspapers and so he asked the city
solicitor for ait opinion on the mutter.
The city solicitor directs hint to publish
the ordinances In all four papers hav
ing contracts and declares that coun
cils' powers In the matter are null. Tho
full text of his opinion Is as follows:

YOUR BLOOD IN MAY MUST
PRODUCE TRUE VITAL
ITY OR DISEASE.
Paine's Celery
Compound
Expels All Winter Impurities
and Poisons from the Blood
and Builds Up tho En
tire System.
AN ASTONISHING PROOF
OF BLOOD CLEANSING AND RESTORATION
TO COMPLETE HEALTH.
True health can only be maintained
by keeping the body fiee of ucld and
sluggish blootV and morbid waste mat
ters. The blood that Is pumped through
the henrt to all parts of the body, car
ries nourishment nnd health, or poison
and tho seeds of death.
Close confinement In badly ventilated
ofllces, stores, and workshops during
the winter months, has lowered the vi
tality of tens of thousands. Poisons
nnd Impurities have been Implanted In
tho blood; these agents of death must
be expelled If health would bo main
tained during the coming summer.
The month of May should be renovat
ing and building-up time with tho vast
army of weak, debilitated and broken
down men, women, imd young people.
If the work of purifying and vitaliz
ing tho blood be longer deferred, erup
tions, blotches, sores, eczema, scrofulu,
erysipelas, and other dangers, are sure
to be your portion.
Paine's Celery Compound meets suc
cessfully at this season all unhealthy
conditions of the blood. It Is the only
medicine that can glinrantee perfect
purification of the vital fluid; that can
give true nutriment to the nerves und
tissues: thnt can bestow new life, vigor,
and strength for the enjoyment or
summer and the prosecution of life's
duties.
Mr. George Schmidt. 20 West Third
street. Cincinnati, Ohio, briefly nnd for
cibly writes regarding his rescue from
a slow but sure death: he says:
"Since infancy I have been bothered
with Impure blood and nervousness. I
tried almost all known remedies and
went to many physicians but nothing
seemed to do me any good until a drug
gist recommended Paine's Celery Com
pound. I used this great medicine, and
before I had llnished two bottles, I
found relief. I am now using my sixth
bottle and never felt better In my life.
My nervousness is all gone and my skin
clearer than ever It was."
