Tho musical event of tho season In Scranton, will occur in Town Hall, of that city, Monday, March 18, when tho Philharmonic Society of Now York will appear In concert, with the eminent Polish violinist, Jan Kubelik, as sollst. Tho Philhar monic society is tho oldest organiza tion of its kind In America, and it has taken a now lease on life, since tho advent of Josef Stransky, its present Incomparable conductor. Tho following bit of history, from tho pen of tho well-known Scranton mu sician, D. E. Jones, Doctor of Music, In tho Trlbuno-Ropubllcan, Is inter esting: Tho coming of tho Philharmonic society, of Now York, Josef Stransky, conductor, is tho next event of noto in this city. Kubelik, tho eminent violinist, will accompany this famous orchestra. The date Is Monday even ing, March 18, the place, tho Town Hall. We owo the appearance of this orchestra to tho Century club, which was also Instrumental In rcsusticat- tig tho dcplorablo condition of tho flnnnccs of tho local Symphony or chestrn. Tho moral Inlluenco of this club Is a potent factor for tho must cal good of Scranton. It has been lupeatcdly stated In this column that tho metropolitan managers of high class artists and concert givers bail long ago decided to ollmlnato Scran ton from tho musical mnp, and our fair city wns unconscionably passed In tho Itineraries of these notable personages. Whllo Wllkes-Barro and oven Hlnghnmton enjoyed nnd re velled In tho prcsenco of groat sing- ors nnd instrumentalists, Scranton wns loft severely nlono. Tho prob lem was a dlfllcult one to solve. Seemingly, Scranton has a large mu sical public, and admittedly it is a good show town. Discussion of tho condition brought ninny and varied suggestions, among tho most plausi ble of which was that we had no music hall. Tho Armory wns util ized for concert purposes for some time, but on one occasion. Mr. Wal ter Damrosch brought thither his Now York Symphony orchostrn, and played to a small houso. Grieved nt what he considered n total financial loss, Mr. Damrosch next morning Issued his pernicious pronunclnmen to, " Never ngaln in Scranton." The inlluenco of his edict wns far-reaching, nnd wo have suffered a musical famine since. But tho entry of the Centry club as sponsor for a musical uplift will surely bring us unto our own. It is composed of tho wealthy and tho In fluential ladies of the city, ladies of culture who havo noted tho musical slough, and aro now ready to use that Influence to secure n Just and equitable adjustment of tho deplor able conditions. Already this pres tige has been felt in tho noble nnd elevating work of Its reconstruction of the Scranton Symphony orchestra. At the beginning of the present sea son that organization was at the point of disintegration and all plans for an active musical season were abandoned, until the Century club, with a deep sense of municipal pride, and high regard for tho musical tal ent within our walls, took the holm, and piloted tho Symphony orchestra into a harbor of financial sa'fety. It was ono stroke for which every mu sic lover of tho city will feel his in debtedness to the club. Loudon Charleton, tho representa tive of tho Philharmonics and of Kubelik, was not slow to noto tho activities of the Century club, and he at once got busy. The orchestra had decided to make a two weeks' tour of the largo cities, tho first tour In tho history of the society, and Mr. Charleton came to Scranton, and succeeded in negotiating a concert on March 18. For this, the Century club deserves the full and undivided support of every musician, music student, and music lover In tho city Aside from the fact that this is ono of tho greatest attractions ever brought here, we owo this unques tloned support to the Century club.

MINERS NOT READYTO ANSWER OPERATORS 'If Bituminous Minors Maintain Peaca With Operators It Is Believed An thracite Men Will Not Go Out, but Will Go Back to Work. New York, March 14. The confer ence of the anthracite operators and representatives of the United Mine Workers of America, at which the de nial of the miners' demands nnd tliu reasons therefore were submitted by the committee of ten operators, lusted Just long enough for the nnswer of tho operators, which was quite lengthy, to be read. President John P. White and his as sociates then asked to be permitted to consider the nnswer until this after noon, when there will be a further conference nt which the miners will say whether they will submit a new proposal or strike. The operators flatly turned down the demands that had been submit ted by President White of the union. The operators declared industrial con ditions made it impossible for them to meet nny of the demands. Speaking of the proposed wage scale an increase of 20 per cent the opera tors said they could not meet any such scale unless the price of coal wns Increased 40 cents a ton. "And," it wns added, "tho public would not stnnd for that." In the statement issued from the operators' headquarters each separate demand of the miners was discussed and tho reason given for turning it down. Tho nnswer closes with the followirtg proposition to tho miners: "Our proposition is that the present agreement between tho anthracite mine workers nnd tho operutors be continued for nnd during n further term of three years from tho first day of April, 1012. "Wo urge careful consideration of our proposition and Its acceptance by you, "Wo trust that your demands will be wlthdrnwn and that the prosperity which has so long obtained In the nn thrnclte region will not be arbitrarily and unnecessarily disturbed." While tho union representatives would not commit themselves, It Is uu derstood that they may ask Friday for a further extension of time to con eider the answer In order to uwalt tin result of tho conferences in Chicago nnd Clereland next week between the bituminous operators nnd their miners It Is known that the heads of the nn thraclto locals of tho United Mine Workers will scarcely consent to u strike If there Is peace In tho bitumi nous districts, whereas united action of tho entire organization claiming to control half a million mltiers would be effective.

In duo consideration of Mrs. Julia Woodhouso Androws, of Now York City, from whom wo received a com munication last week and which was reproduced In Tho Citizen of March 7 last, wo print tho following story. Quoting from her letter sho says: "1 can still boo thoso kindly eyes nnd benevolent faco which seemed to strike a cord of sympathy In ovory heart and mndo Abraham Lincoln boloved by nil who over met him. 1 wonuor ii nny or my old mends In Honcsdalo can boast of a similar ex perience." Frederick Ruppert, tho wholesale confectioner, was onco honored as fow havo been honored nnd ns a re sult has inoro than tho usual amount of lovo for tho big-hearted Abo Lin coln than most men of his time. Fred has a right to feel proud for when he wns about two and n half years old he, Hko Tad, sat upon Lincoln's knee. This alone Is an honor which many of lils friends envy, even the veterans who saw Lincoln dally In war times. There aro somo living In Honesdale to-dny who verify Mr. iRuppert's statement and as a matter of fact It was through them that Fred was notified by Lincoln and taken Into his turnout and given a ride. It is told by Mr. Ruppert, who was born In Honesdale, that at the out break of tho Civil war his father, John Ruppert, enlisted nnd was soon located at Fort Thayer, opposite Washington, bolng promoted to lieu tenant of Company C, Second Penn sylvania Heavy Artillery. As ho was stationed at this point ho sent for his wife and son, Fred, tho subject of this sketch. The family stayed at this point for some time. Lincoln and his driver passed their homo every day to give his orders to tho Army of the Potomac. Ono day the soldiers around tho fort took Fred to Washington and had a regular officer's uniform made for him. It was when the party was returning to Fort Th.lyer that Lin coln saw Fred in his uniform. When tho young soldier reached him he had his driver stop and Fred was taken into the president's high ; "carryall." Lincoln placed Fred on ! his knee where he sat while tho pres ident was driven to the Array of the Potomac to give his orders. On the return trip Fred was turned over to his parents by the great emanci pator. BIG llLl.ZAItl) STARTED Ul YEARS AGO MONDAY. Monday, 24 years ago, this sec tion of tho country was In the grip of one of tho greatest blizzards that ever visited the state. Snow began falling on Saturday, March 10, 1S88, and by Sunday morning the earth was covered to a depth of about 12 inches. On Sunday evening, March ii, the wind shifted suddenly to the north west and blew a gale, hurling the snow in all directions. With tho shifting of tho wind the temperature dropped to near the zero mark. It was so cold that few people ventured out on tho streets. Telegraph and telephone wires were prostrated in all directions and trafllc on the railroads came to a standstill, and it was Impossible to realease those stalled by drifts until the storm subsided. Tho schools were dismissed. Tho stages were unable to get through and 'business generally was interrupt ed. Many of tho workmen were un able to reach their places of employ ment. On Tuesday, March 13, all railroad lines were tied up completely. It required nearly tho entire week to get the trafllc straightened uot and 'the damage done to tho wires repair ed. Conductor Charles Lord of the Erlo says he remembers tho week dis tinctively, claiming that It was the hardest winter he experienced on the road. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: WORDS FOR THE 1 SPELLING CONTEST OF THE jj Wayne County School. j :t:j:?:::::::::j::::::s:n::atm LESSON XX.
