Concert by the Oxford Glee Club in Aid of
Their Members Dog Fight on Main
Avenue Other News Notes.
The Oxford Olec club save a concert
In the First Welsh BnptlBt clnirch last
evening In old of Wtlllnni John Thoninn
of Eynou Htrcot, one of their members,
who suffered a fractured leg while at
work In the Sloun mines sonic six
weeks ago. The prevailing strike un
doubtedly interfered with the attend
ance, but there was a fair sized audi
ence there who enjoyed the various
numbers.
John T. Lewis presided, and for an
opening the Giro club sang "All
Through tho Night," which will be one
of tho competitive selections at the
national eisteddfod. Tho rendition was
not as good as the club Is capablc-of
doing, because many of their best slng
ets weio absent laBt night, neverthe
less the effort was thoroughly appre
ciated, Fred Kvans, a young man with an
excellent voice, followed with the ren
dition of "Day by Day," which was
given hi uch a manner that earned for
him a hearty encore. Thomas Ellas
also sang a solo, "Salvation Is Nigh
Them," and gave an excellent tcndl
tlon, and for an encore he recited "The
Bootblack." '
David Jenkins, who Is now the lead
er of tho Glee club, sang a plumber of
times during the evening, and It must
truthfully be said that his singing Im
proves with age. His voice Is of superb
quality, richness and compass, and he
sings with freedom and splendid con
ception. He was accorded several en
cores. Miss Via Jones, the contralto, who
IB also winning new laurels, sang
"Heaven Shall Make Perfect Our Im
perfect Life," and for an encoie render
ed "When the Sun Is on the Hill." The
accompanists of the evening were Miss
Norma Williams and Mrs. D. B.
Thomas, who are always important
factors In West Scranton concert work.
The Glee club then rendered the
"Pilgrim's Chorus," which was the
competitive piece at tho Allentown
eisteddfod, with David Jenkins acting
as conductor and Binglng the solo part
at the same time. This rendition was
good, but lacked tho usual strength
and force of the full chorus.
John Evans sang a pleasing tenor
solo, and was liberally applauded and
re&ponded to tho demands of the audi
ence for a second number. He gave it
willingly, and his singing incited much
favorable comment. He was accom
panied In the latter song by Hugh
Williams on the piano.
David Jenkins sang a Welsh num-

LONG STRIKE PREPARATION.
Companies Have Sent About 5000
Mules to Pasture.
That the coal companies do not an
ticipate an early ending of tho strike is
indicated by the fact that they are
sending their mules to pasture In the
country. The Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company has secured
pasturage at Pactoryvlllc, Wyoming
county, and Hanover, Luzerne county.
The Erie is sending Its mules to Wayne
county, in the region of Lake Ariel.
The Delaware and Hudson company Is
looking for pasturage in the neighbor
hood of Carbondale. Five thousand
mules are used by these three com
panies alone. Some of them were born
in the mines, and not a few of them
saw daylight for the first time when
the strike of 1900 was on. It Is usually
about three days before they become
used to the light. For the first day or
so they wander around as blind as bats,
colliding with one another and the
fences of their corrals and kicking vic
iously at every collision. The mules, at
all events, will be benefitted by the
strike.
Recorder Emll Bonn yesterday re
corded the commissions of sixty-seven
of the 387 coal and iron police commis
sioned by Governor Stone, last Satur
day, to guard coal companies' property
in this and Luzerne counties. Those
whose commissions were recorded yes
terday are employed by the Pennsyl
vania, Delaware and Hudson, Dela
ware, Lackawanna and Western and
Sterrick Creek companies. Tho com
missions were sent .direct to the com
panies. They will have the men sworn
In and the commissions recorded as
fast as they deem it expedient.
Yesterday afternoon the wholesale
grocers decided to exact cash pay
ments from tho retailers during the
continuance of the strike. Last night,
the Retail Merchants association de
cided on a similar policy. This means
that while the strike Is on all grocery
business in the city wil be done on a
cash basis. The suburban storekeeper
it is likely will follow suit.
An effort Is to be made today to stop
operations at tho Delaware & Hudson
company's Grassy Island washcry. Tho
Olyphant strikers propose to put out
pickets and endeavor to dissuade the
men from going to work.
As yet there has been no violence re
ported In this region. However, trouble
Is expected any day as a result of at
tempts to close down the washcrles.
FREEDOM OF CUBA.
