For Our June Trade

IN THE OPEN AIR.
Thousands Enjoy Baucr's Free Open Air
Concert Last Night.

Thousands Enjoy Baucr's Free Open Air
Concert Last Night.
Several thousand persons heard q
part or the whole of the free open-air
concert rendered by Bauer's band last
night from the steps of the Westmins-
ter hotel. The pavement in front of the
building was occupied by a dense
crowd, while the sidewalks between
Spruce and Linden streets were lined
with delighted listeners.
The throng included all manner of
persons and offered an interesting op-
portunity for the study of characters
which make up growing inland city.
They were attracted to the vicinity by
the strains of the music rather than
the announcement. which was made
only yesterday morning, that the con-
cert would be given. Nearly all the
numbers of the excellent programme
We're encored.
The opening selection, Rollinson's
march, Honor the Brave" was fol-
lowed by THE Light Cavalry" an
overture by Suppe; q selection from
Faust, and a baritone solo, from the
German, played by August Wahler. A
humorous character piece, "Chinese
War;" polka and medley from Har-
rlgan's REILLY and the 400,' concluded
the treat.
Owing to the absence of Professor
Bauer and his musicians from the city
no concert will be given next week, but
during the week following a concert
will be given either Thursday or Fri
day night. An effort IS being made to
induce Professor Bauer to give the
concerts at intervals throughout the
summer, and he remarked last night
that he would probably accede to the
request

on the Subject.
That Cyrene, the dancer, Is m ad-
vocate and firm believer in physical
culture goes without saying. To n
Boston Traveller reporter she says: 81
have travelled DER the burning sands
Of Africa, the cold steppes of Asia, in
hailed the dread chagres fever on the
Isthmus of Panama. lived in the filthy
cities of South America, and have never
had n days illness. know not how 70
explain or in technical language argue
why my severe physical training has
been n safeguard against disease, but
that 1t has saved me and preserved
me through many, many scourges, /
am fully convinced"
That her physical training has been
thorough Is evidenced by the remark
able acrobatc feats she performs while
dancing. The exercises necessary to
perform her work would exhaust the
strongest men, yet Cyrene enjoys It
and performs without any apparent
effort. Continuing, she said:
"There Is nothing better for anyone
than the exercise given n girl when
she Is being trained for ballet dancer.
It turns out those who take 1t slim,
erect and alert 1t makes them grace
full and should be taught every girl In
public schools"
Cyrene prldes herself upon the fact
that wherever she appears she Is
visited by hundreds of ladies and chill
dren who desire to converse with her
IN the subjept of physical training and
she never sends any away disap-
pointed. Cyrene has made many, friends
and admirers during the past week at
Laurel Hill park. This will be her last
week.

HAS NOT YET been TOLD
Beck Not Acquainted with the Action
OF Supreme Court in His Case.
WILL LET COUNSEL BREAK NEWS
Steps VIII Probably DC Taken to Have
Ills Case Laid Before tho State
Board of Pnrdons-What Attor.
ncy Watson Hns to Say.

1t Is probable that steps will be taken
fore the state board of pardons, but as
yet nothing definite has been arranged
In that direction. 1t will require money
to get the case in shape to have 1t laid
before the board and that Is n commod-
ity that Beck is entirely without.
Soon after his conviction number of
his friends raised n sum of money for
his defense, but 1t was not adequate for
the purpose it was intended for. 1t Is
said that Attorney George NJ. Watson,
who was appointed by the court to de-
fend Bezek had To pay about all of the
expense incurred in taking the case to
the supreme court, and II is but natural
to suppose that he feels that he has
done his whole duty by his client.
Attorney Watson Interviewed.
That Is phase Of the case, however,
that Mr.. Watson refused to discuss
when spoken to about the matter yes
terday
Il have not seen BeZek," he said,
"since before | argued his case before
the supreme court. Since the decision
of the supreme court was made public
| have not seen any of his friends and
am unable to say what they propose to
do in his behalf. l am at their service.
and as soon as they decide what further
action they wish to take | am prepared
to go ahead. Tomorrow morning |
have an appointment with the friends
of the unfortunate man and 1t may then
be decided what will be done.
81 believe that an appeal to the board
OF pardone would not be in vain. The
case was considered by the supreme
court, of course, entirely on the errors
alleged to have been committed by the
court below. Nothing else was admis-
sible before that body.
Many Mitigating Circumstances.
"When we go before the board of
pardons the case in all its details can
be presented and all the mitigating cir
cumstances, and there are many OF
them, presented for consideration. AT
ter these are gone over by the members
of the board l feel confident that they
will be disposed to deal fairly with
Beck"
Edmund Bartl is one Of the men who
has shown q great interest in BeZek'
and was instrumental in raising money
for him. He was absent from the city
yesterday, and his plans for the future
could not be learned.
Beck has not yet been notified or the
action of the supreme court, the au-
thorities at the county Jail said last
night. They also said they would let
his counsel be the first to break the
unpleasant news to him.
For some time past Beck has been
brooding over his troubles a great
deal, and is much sadder and more re-
served than when he first entered the
Jail.
He is one of the best behaved pris-
oners in the institution.

FOR A WORTHY CAUSE.
An Old Fashioned Fourth Of July Cclc
bration at Lake Ariel.

An Old. Fashioned Fourth Of July Cclc.
bration at Lake Ariel.
The proper and patriotic celebration
of the Fourth of July in this locality
has in a measure lost its glorious mean
ing by the apathy Of its citizens, and
in view of this fact, the General p. II.
Sheridan Monument association VIII
afford those patriotically inclined and
opportunely to celebrate the day as
in their youth, by an event which will
do the city proud, as we'll as do great
honor to the glorious General Sheridan.
To properly carry out the plan this
association, comprising a long list of
most patriotic and prominent citizens
of the valley, whose sole aim and object
Is to create a fund for the erection of
monument of General Sheridan, ap-
peals to the public for announcement
from the standpoint Of patriotic appre-
citation for his gallant services, as well
as public spiritedness for the beautify-
ing Of our city with a monument that
will be n high work of art second to
none in all the broad land.
AS an initiatory step for this pur-
pose, the Erie and Wyoming Railroad
company has kindly placed at the dis
posal of the committee Lake Ariel and
grounds on July 4. On that day the
committee propose with the measures
and plans adopted and the matters now
well in hand, to afford all who attend
the excursion a grand and glorious old
time Fourth of July celebration.
It may be here incidentally men
toned that in carrying out the commit
tees fullest Interpretation of an old
time Fourth of July that some of the
most prominent citizens of the country
as well as valley, have signifed their
willingness to participate in order to
secure this laudable end.

HOPKINS WAS REFEREE,
In Little War of Words That Took Place
in the Court House.

There was a lively time at the brief
hearing in the Rachel Frances-Will-
iams' contested will case in the office
Of Register of Wills Hopkins yester-
day morning. Mrs. Walters, one of the
witnesses Of the defendant, was being
cross-examined by Attorney Hulslan-
der and the nature of the questions
rufIled her and brought Attorney
George W. Beale to her rescue.
The two lawyers became angry at
each other. and Mr.. Beale shook his
bunch of five under the nasal organ of
Attorney Hulslander, which had any
thing but soothing effect on him.
Deputy Register James Hopkins
jumped across the desk and got be-
tween the bellicose disciples Of Black
stone. and while Mr.. Hulslander was
being led to his corner, he uttered
something like this: IT have taught
you a lesson before, young man, and
can repeat 1t If necessary"

HAS EMPLOYED COUNSEL.
Mayor Connoll Takes Steps to Have City's
Interests Guarded,

lutcTcStS uuuTucu.
Mayor Connell has engaged Attorney
s. B. Price to defend the city in the
suit brought by the Providence Turn
pike company to recover $5,3S6.74. This
amount, the company claims, was eX-
pended in repairing n portion Of the
turnpike in the North End, which the
city had agreed to repair in return for
the company's removal of its toll-gate
to outside the city line.
City Solicitor Torrey had been inter-
ested as counsel in the dispute prior to
his election, so recently the mayor was
given authority to seek an opinion in
the matter. The facts in the case were
referred to cX-Judge Jessup, and he ad-
vised the city to pay the claim. At a
recent special meeting of councils 1t
was considered expedient to contest the
claim, and thus have 1t settled for all
time by court.
The outcome of the suit will have
bearing in several similar contracts
with the city.

LUCKY CIRCUMSTANCE,
Frightened Horses Dash Down the Ave
nuc, but DO No DAMAGE

A team Of horses hitched to n heavy
wagon owned by a Danville brewing
firm, was standing in front OF hotel on
upper Lackawanna avenue yesterday
Afternoon about 3 o'clock. They be-
came frightened and Started down the
avenue at a rapid rate OF speed, being
accelerated from time to time by the
noise caused by the kegs dropping from
the wagon to the asphalt pavement.
The horses continued on their mad
flight until they reached Franklin ave-
nue., where they were stopped by Trac-
tlon company employees. Strange to
say, although the street was crowded
with wagons and carriages, there were
no collisions and no accidents Of any
kind from the runaway.
