CO.MLVC; EVENT IN SCHANTON.
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.

'lUJDHIUCK IIUPPURT
SAT ON AUK'S" KNEE.
Hnro Distinction of Which Ono
U'njrno County Man Can Boast.
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.
