AN ARTISTIC SUCCESS.
Brilliant Concert for the Benefit of tbs
kindergarten.

kluueTSdTteu.
The Blauvelt concert for the benef,t
OF st. Luke's free kindergarten at
tracted large audience Of representa-
1--WE Scrantonians at the rockingham
last evening Many of the patrons of
the eenterprise appeared in evening dress
ana the dazzling toilets of the ladies
maze the beautiful theater scene of
unusual brilliancy.
The entertainment was opened with a
novel feature. A half hundred little
pupils of the kindergarten marched
upon the stage under direction Of Mr..
Carter, and gave an exhibition Of their
musical ability in charming manner
that brought down the house, so to
speak.
The opening solo of the evening was
rendered by John T. Watkins, who sang
with his usual good taste and received
a hearty encore, to which, however, he
did not respond.
Nine. Blauvelt was received by a
storm OF applause upon her appearance
on the stage, which gave evidence of the
esteem in which the talented artist Is
held by Scranton music lovers. Her
rendition of "Nymphs and Fauns" was
given In an artistic manner. To the
enthusiastic encore that followed Nine.
Blauvelt responded by singing "Kath-
leen Mavourneen." In part second of
the programme Nine. Blauvelt gave
Comm Thro' the Rye" as an encore,
and was recalled several times by the
enthusiastic listeners.
Mr.. Carter's Interpretation of Liszt's
"Rhapsodie Hongroise," was a finished
performance from beginning to end, and
gave evidence of his ability as pianist
from q technical view as well as his
thorough comprehension of the spirit
of the composer. In the above as we'll as
in the rendition of the "Polonaise" by
Chopin, Mr.. Carter held the audience
by his artistic handling Of the subject
before him, and the stiffness that per-
vaded the house during his playing was
more powerful evidence of the appre-
citation of the audience than the loud
applause at the finish.
Miss Draeger, contralto, delighted the
audience by her finished rendition of
German songs, and responded to a
hearty encore by singing "Genevieve."
Mr. Wooler sang English ballads In cap
tivating style, and his sweet tenor voice
was heard to excellent advantage in
Yesterday" Bonnie Sweet Bessie"
and "Alice, Where Art ThouT'
The concert was a success, both finan
cially and in a musical way, and re-
fleets much credit upon the ladies of st.
Luke's church, as well as the ladies and
gentlemen who assisted in its success
upon the stage.

HE WAS A COOL ONE.
This Woman's Bold Scheme for Blackmai
EaiJad IN Work

This Woman's Bold Scheme for BlackInail
Failed to Work.
From Kate Fields Washington.
A good story is told of prominent
federal official, who was in office during
the first Cleveland administra ton and
his reception of woman who endeaV-
ored to levy blackmail upon him. This
woman came into his Office one day and
after tearfully reciting her tale Of woe
and wrong to him and an amused on
looker-who had tried, Intellectually, to
leave the room and let the couple at
tend to their own affairs-she de-
manded Immediately check for 500.
But cannot give you that amount.
/ haven't got it," said the official.
"Well, then, I'll tell all about our
dealings and you won't show up very
well,' said the woman threateningly.
"Oh, don't think you can make any
body believe such tale as you would
tell against me-" came the imperturbed
reply.
"Oh, can't can't II" sneered the wo-
man. "Well l just need that 800 and
you've got to give it to me or I'll let out
the whole business. Now are you ready
to pony up?'
The official pondered a moment.
1.-THE case would look pretty black
against me, wouldn't it?" he said re-
flectively.
"Yes, I'll see to that" was the wo-
mans still more threatening answer.
"Well," said the official, after a few
moments thought, and with sus-
picious twinkle in his eye, II guess l
see a way out of the difficulty. You
know my wife holds the purse strings
of the family. Now you just go and tell
her the whole story, and cry about 1t,
and she might give you the amount you
want. Good day." and he bowed the
obnoxious caller out of the office, while
she was too utterly dumbfounded to
protest
She never bothered him again, ap-
parently admiring his nerve.

CITY'S GOOD HEALTH.
farming Rumors and Official Health Re
ports DO Not Harmonize.

Only seventeen deaths from all causes
We're reported to the board of health
last week. This Is the smallest num-
Der reported for any similar period
since the early summer and the figures
bear out last weeks report of Health
Officer Allen that the general health of
the city is better than for four years.
Other figures in last weeks report do
not harmoniZe with a prevailing sup
position that contagious diseases, par
ticularly typhoid. are prevalent. Last
week one death resulted from diptheria,
one from typhoid and four from con-
sumption; there were two new cases Of
diptheria, one of typhoid and two of
scarlet fever. No information has been
received that typhoid has become epi-
demic at Elmhurst. This fact, in con-
nection with the figures given above
and the satisfactory analysis Of the
city's drinking waters, should reassure
many persons who have been unduly
alarmed

poor board.
The stranger who caused his journey
