Hlgnor Plotrb Mnscagnl, nothing daunt ed by his "recent unpleasnntncs" In Now York, Boston nnd elsewhere, camo forth unscathed and unsullied nt the Armory 1nst night. A thoroughly representative Hcrunton nudlcncn of largo proportions was pres ent. It was an andlenco friendly In dis position and probably Inllucnccd more by Inclination than discrimination. It wns a great night for Mnscngnl, Ilnly and Scranton. All were deeply Interested lit thu "Cnvnllcrla," tho composer's Immor tal opera an opera that all know and tho music of which had moved them all at ono tlmo or another For who Is not familiar with tho Intermezzo, If nothing more? Then thcro Is Turlddu's "Drink ing Gong," and tho wonderful chorus be fore tho church In itself a groat work. Not tho least of Mnseagnl's troubles In this country li tho lauding to tho skits of his most unpretentious efforts tho In termezzo, for example while tho really meritorious scoring of this tragic llttlo masterpiece pasecu unnoticed. Tno inter mezzo was an accident. It was composed to koep tho curtain raised between tho first nnd second nets, for "Cavallorla llustlcana" was originally a two-act op era, but that ho might enter tho work Into a competition, MaBcagnl interwove two themes from the nrst part, and tho result was tho Intermezzo. Ho not only won tho prlzo but International famo af ter tho first production of tho work. Howevor cheaply tho intermezzo and somo other parts aro held by some, It must bo admitted without hesitancy that In this opera Mascagnl wroto with a firmness, a breadth of style, a vigor of creatlvo Imagination, and a variety in tho uso of material that is refreshing. Without doubt tho most imprcsslvo num ber In tho onera 1b the thrilling portentous chorus, the""Easter Prayer," beforo tho church, with its "pauses of marvelous silonce." Hero, if over, one hears "the volco of tho Undiscovered bringing great truths to birth." This great chorus con tains tho coloring nnd tho flexibility of a master hand in cleverly working up tho massive climaxes. It was very well done last night by the handful of singers who comprised the chorus. Tho opera In general received very good treatment vocally and Instru mental, but tho stage settings were In no way In keeping with the scene. Who could imagine a church on the right, an Inn on tho left, and a street square in tho centre of last night's stage? Tho welt known "Intermezzo" wns ner vously anticipated and re-demanded by tho vigorous plaudits of tho audience. Tho Interpretation given tho Intermezzo by Mascagnl was along broader lines than usual, and the accentuation was decidedly strong and marked. Tho Santuzza of Slgnorlna Farnctl was the most positive success of tho evening. She sang with good judgmont nnd taste and gave a sympathetic and tender por trayal of her part. Her cantltena wns cx ipilsite, and her singing throughout tho evening was a genuine plensuro. Tho Lola of Signora do Fillppi was acted naively and sung with much spirit. The Turlddu ot Slgnor Schiavazzi was very versatile. Ills voice was surprising and tha tone bo produced was rolmsl. His acting in tho furowell scene with Lucia was animated and tho scono was a suc cess. Tho "Drinking Song" was well rendered. Slgnoii'. del Parto was tho Lucia and Slgnor Frnscono was the Allio. Both did commendable work. Tho climax 111 tho sceno between Santa and Alfio was lost In tho echo, which was annoying in tho tuttl passages. In tho concert part of tho programmo Slgnorlna Fnrnotl gave tho "Jewel Song" from Faust and Slgnor Frascona gave tho "Dlo Posscnte" from tho eamo opeta Tho chorus and orchestra gave tho hynm to tho sun from "Iris" in a spirited man ner. This number contains some effect ive scoring for orchestra and tho cro sendi by tho strings to tho tuttl was warm and full of eastern color. Tho oriental sun effect In tho strings In thl3 hymn Is well brought out, and vividly re calls to ono's mind Wagner's "Lohen grin" and somo things from Grieg. The "Eternal City" music was calm and placid and revealed nothing new or strik ing In thematic treatment, color or ma terial. It was given a spirited reading by Slgnor Mascagnl and brought forth an encore, the intermezzo to his recently composed opera "William Itatcllffo." Slgnor Mascagnl wus presented with somo beautiful flowers after this number by his compatriots In this city who wero present In largo numbers. Whatever elso may bo said of Mascagnl. It must bo admitted his "Cavallerla llus tlcana" Is a wonderful opera, full of ac tion, physical suffering, love, hato, re vengehow tho scenes fly, a bewildering succession of tone pictures, It has como to stay. His conducting last evening was full ot authority, command and dignity. He brought out every nuance, every shade of accent and expression. At all times wns he master. All things considered, It was an evening of clovatlng ontortnin mont and ono long to bo remembered by those present. Portraiture at Night One-ton Wyo ming Avenue.

Ono Hundred PorsonB Died Last Year In This City from Tuberculo sis A Sanitarium Modolod 'After That nt White Haven Could Bo Xo cated In. tho Mountains Close to This City Dr. S. A. Knopf Will Xeeturo In St. Luko's Parish Houso on Thursday Night. Probably thcro Is nothing In the way ot disease or bodily allllctlon of any sort that so appeals to tho general pub lic as consumption, Tho utter hopeless, desperate feeling that overwhelms ono when a physician Intimates the pres ence of the awful bacilli Is famllalr to most ndults In civilized life, for most have seen somo loved ono thus fade away. , When it Is realized that 100 persons have died In Scranton from tuberculo sis during tho past year It Is not sur prising that tho physicians and the health authorities of this city nro be ginning to consider seriously tho mat ter of prevention. One hundred cnse3 of tuberculosis last year here means a much larger number next year, with a steadily In creasing proportion. Tho mortality from the disease has decreased In Now York C5 per cent, as a result of muni cipal activity In the matter, and it Is expected that a far greater ratio can be shown In this city, where the con ditions for treatment are more favor able. Recorder Connell has been con sulted in tho matter nnd tho municipal authorities nnd tho physicians propose to take up the work In earnest and as a first step a lecture will be given Thursday night ut St. Luke's parish hall by the renowned Dr. S. A. Knopf, of Now York, on how to combat the disease. A Great Authority. Dr. Knopf is the greatest author ity on tuberculosis In this country, and was tho man who won the prize of 4,000 marks in the Berlin con test with his essay on the subject. It Is intended that the lecture shall be heard by as largo an audience as pos sible. It is to be held under the aus pices of the Scranton board of trade. Dr. Knopf will give some practical ad vice regarding tho necessary proced ure in a city which has not even a sol itary hocpltal or ward for incurables. He will talk on the sanitary precau tions necessary and will speak In lan guage free from all technical terms ns far as may be. It i3 said thatno more favorable lo cality can bo found for the treatment of consumptives than the mountains Immediately surrounding Scranton, and it Is planned to erect a home very near the city where the cases may be Isolated and where the conditions will best lead to restoration. It is expect ed that an appropriation wilt be made for a municipal laboratory, which Is the first step toward beginning proper san itary precautions against the spread of the disease. It is now generally ad mitted that consumption, so called, is very contagious, and the councils will be asked to frame ordinances relating to sanitary defences. Purpose of Lecture.

No other medicine, I think, could ever have done me so much good. I have not had an attack of it since.
