His First Concert Here Was Popular in
Every Sense.
It has been said of Sousa that in addi-
ton to being the greatest march com
poser and band master in the world he
is also the most graceful, and the large
audience that saw him WELD his pearl
inlaid and gold tipped baton over his
splendid band last night, realized it
When he swung his arms at full length
to the enlivening strains of his Wash
ington Post march if added much to the
general grace of the band.
1t was an enraptured audience. The
overture from "Tannhauser" was superb,
but most people think Wagner horrid
There was demand for another and
then another one and when the band
started on the opening chords of "The
Washington Post March" the audience
was delighted aud began cheering
again before it was hardly started.
1t was SO with every piece
that the band played and the
pastoral fantasia, "A Shepherds Life in
the Alps" was particularly fetching.
Sousa also played his latest march THE
Directorate" and responded with eThe
High School Cadets" Sousa has for his
| marches that have been made so famous
| on the street concert arrangement
which is different and makes them
almost new again and thoroughly ex-
pressiVe. The finest thing Sousa played

Christopher Columbus Ritter,
who arrived from Germany III the
winter of 1864 and through j.
Wilkes B ,mh's influence secured a
position in Ford's Theatre, tells a
story of Lin oln's assassination,
claiming that Boston Corbett shot
Edward Fuchs, an actor who re-
sembled Booth. and not President
Lincoln's assassin. Ritter Is well
educated and his character is above
reproach. He declared that he as
sisted Booth to escape and that
they rallied for Brazil May 2, 1865.
He soon left Brazil, but met Booth
by appointment in Hamburg eleven
years ago, and on that occasion
Booth gave him pictures CT his
children born to a South American
wife. These pictures, bearing a
strong resemblance to Booth, are
now in Ritter's possession. Ritter
says lie heard from Booth last win
ter and the latter was then on the
South American stage.-Ex.

He. Husband Did the RUM
ming.

The following from the Cief ihoho
Comfy, Ohio, @ urier, is quite
apropos of the situation in Utah at
the present time:
A good story is told on Cler-
mont politician, who started out q
couple of weeks since to find q
brace of lady candidates, willing to
run for school director. The ladies
he approached did not strike the
tempting bait of official power as
freely as he had anticipated. and
after having invited three or foar
he began to have that tired feeling,
which is 20. often attended from
discouraging results Of honest effort.
At length he bethought him of
ady friend, whom he had not sen
within the last four or i've months
and strais htway to hel home ne
hied to suggest the beauties and
bounties of office holding. just as
he was about to ring the bell the
lady's husband appeared in the door
way in the act of putting on his
coat, only one sleeve b ing adjusted
his hat on the back OF his lead.
his hair disheveled, and his whole
attitude betokening haste and anx-
iety.
"One moment" said the candi-
date hunter; Il wanted to see IT
your wife would run for the school
board" @
The citizen got himself into the
rest of his harness, as he walked
hurriedly up the street, the politi-
clan following, and remarked as he
went:
mo; she doesn't want to run
for any Office; Tn just running for
the doctor for her now, myself
think she wouldn't hold a po-
s.tion On the school board" per
sisted the earnest patriot.
"Gracious no not nov. If she
isn't holding something else in the
next two hours, that will require
her undivided attention for the
next Eve years, it will be- because
there is no trusting to signs and
the flag dcnoting squalls has been
mistakenly displayed.
Then the politician tumbled, and
reached around to kick himself,
aud the citizen almost tumbled in
his haste to reach the doctor. And
the signals were correct.

INDUSTRIAL TOPICS.

The Reading is In the market for
1000 coal cars.
George w. Johnson, manager OF the
Arethusa Iron works, at New Castle,
Pa, is making very extensive improve
ments to the plant
Knowledge that the Jersey Central
has. cancelled its agreement with other
companies to restrict anthracite coal
production is believed by operators in
the stock market to foreshadow de-
cline in all the coalers.
Last week In one turn of ten hours
there was produced at the rod mill of
the Oliver Wire company. of Pitts
burg, 1896 100 pounds of No. 8 rods. This
is claimed to be the largest production
ever attained in any mill in the world
in turn of ten hours.
Some of the companies have, 1t Is
said, made considerable reductions in
the price of coal at the mines by all
rail routes to New England points. 1t
being stated yesterday that broken
and egg could be had for $l.30, stove
for $1.45, and chestnut for $1.35.
President Sloan says: IT don't be-
lieve in war Of rates. I don't believe
in giving away coal which we cannot
replace. The sales agents are perfect
ly able to settle the difficulty II the
necessary power is given to them.
Our agent has gone to the meeting
clothed with full power, but directed
above all things to favor a conserva-
tive course"
Anthracite coal productions last
week was again restricted, the output
aggregating only 69S,023 tons, a de-
crease compared with the correspond
ing week last year of 6.6OS tons. 1t
was the first week for a long time past
in which production was less than for
the same week in 1894. The weeks to-
tai, however, was about 100000 tons
larger than for the preceding week.
For the first twenty days of April the
output aggregated 1.776,7 720 tons, an in
crease over the corresponding period
last year of 90,T74 tons. The daily
average for the period was SS,S36 tons,
or equal to 2,665,Os0 tons for the month
very little more than the. output
agreed upon. There is season to doubt.
though, that these figures will long
hold good.

SCRANTON WINS.
Had Hall Been Steadier Ha azletou Might
Have Won.

Three hundred spectators saw Scran-
ton defeat Hazleton at the base ball
park in game that was close enough
to satisfy the most exacting crank. The
score was 10 and s. 1t was not one
sided game, as the detailed score will
show. There were just enough crack
ing hits, just enough yellow playing,
and just enough close decisions to suit
even the omnipresent individual who
kicks from principle.
A home run by Clark, three-bagger
by Delaney, the battery work Of
Delaney and Rogers, and the
lightning backstop work of Moore,
of Hazleton, were the features of the
game. Hall twirled for Hazleton, and
for seven innings pitched fairly good
game, until the seventh and excepting
the first inning, when he sent four
Scranton men to first on balls. Be
ginning with the seventh inning Hall
began to fag. Had Sharsig then put a
fresh arm in the box, the result might
have been different.
Sweeney fell and injured his arm In
the Carbondale game Wednesday, and
his position at short was filled yes
terday by Winklemen, who has estab-
lished the reputation of being good
and an erratic player at one and the
same time.
Scranton scored in but four out OF
eight innings, and Hazleton in six out
Of nine. Had not Hall sent four men to
first on balls in the first inning, four
scores would not have been made
through Brady's double and Clark's
single. Clark's homer netted two runs,
triple.
