NEXT TUESDAYS CONCERT.
Diagram for 1t viii Open at the Academy
OF Music Friday.

The diagram for the concert for the
Home for the Friendless opens at the
Academy of Music Friday morning.
The concert Is to be given next Tuesday
at the Academy and indications all
point to splendid attendance. The
cause is a most deserving one and this
concert comes at time when the re-
ceipts from such benefit can be most
fully appreciated. The concert itself
will be one in every way worthy the
cause the Symphony society seeks to
assist.
The concert will without doubt be the
most brilliant performance ever given
by the musicians of this section of the
state. Their leader. Mr.. Hemberger, ia
an intelligent, painstaking conductor
and he is sparing no trouble which can
bring the various musicians of the or
chestra to the highest possible ability
in ensemble playing. The last few re-
hearsals have demonstrated Mr.. Hem
berger's ability in this direction to q
striking degree.
The orchestra not only play with
sure. confident technique but with a
spirit and feeling that are remarkable.
Miss Schiller, of New York city, will
assist the orchestra and Mr.. Ripard, of
Wilkes Barre, will play a violin solo
by Beethoven

The sincere thanks of the board are due
the press of this g. V for the very liberal
and brOad-spirited II. 'nner in which they
have treated us This office is now one of
their regular assignments. Representa-
,ives of the different papers call each day,
always ready and willing to give space to
any item that may be of public interest,
and their editorial pages have in many in
stances been of great assistance to us In
carrying out our plans.
The completion of the Linden street and
Roaring Brook bridges, the erection of
the handsome Hotel Jermyn, the Mears'
building, the Traders National bank build
Ing, the high school, and last. but by no

to warrant one in entertaining n bright
vision of the great things in store for
our beloved city.

Der contained an interesting and able ar
ticle On Scranton from the pen OF MISS
Susan +. Dickinson, which dealt with 'he
social, educational ana. Industrial pfupo-
sltion of Scranton in way that could
not but impress the outside world with
our wonderful! strides in these directions.
Another article appeared in the Engineer
ing News of Dec 26. which was even more
favorable to Scranton than the Perry ar
ticlc These have all been commented
upon by the press throughout the coun-
try, and II is my belief that there Is no
city In the land to which the attention OF
the industrial world is today being at
tracted more than Scranton. What the
ultimate result OF all this expenditure of
energy and money will be remains to be
seen, hut Ii Is my candid opinion that II
will far exceed our most sanguine expect
ations.
Many matters of public concern and I'M
portance have been considered by the
board during the year just passed. The
most notable being the public market and
paidl fire department questions. Both of
these matters have been considered at
length and now only await the action of
the councils to assure these most needed
Improvements.
Board Of Trade Building.

this board was the one that promised the

the foundations are completed ready for

that predictions made regarding this build

The membership of the board has in

We hope that all may have happy
Christmas
A large crowd of supposed Hungar-
ians passed through this place during
the past week and claimed TO be en-
route for Kingwood.
Some OF our small boys have lately
learned that the person who sometimes
tells falsehoods is scarcely believed
when he tells the truth.
Several OF our old folks are visiting
the bedside of Mr. Joseph Feather, OF
Bruceton. lie has quite number of
friends and relatives at this place.
1t is a sad sight TO see n poor man lay
two days with a broken leg when he
has rendered good service To n wealthy
farmer all summer and fall But alas
rhe way of the poor, lame and blind is
very hard one.
DR. f. II. Ravenscraft and DIR. Dun
ham are both preparing To leave us
which will leave grand position for
some NJ. ID. at this place, but IL no one
comes TO issue out drugs TO us we will
be compelled To continue the use Of the
holiday beverage.
Some of our boys seemed to be very
sick on Sunday, yet they were not
downcast in the least, and seemed to
enjoy the disease hugely. We suppose
that the victims will continue Co take
medicine until after the holidays, and
since the medicine seems to- keep the
disease in action, we expect to have
invalids during the pending time, and
after this, comes the protracted meet
ing.
We have now had sufficient rain to
make miserable mud, and strange to
say, that where our celebrated road
machine did the most work there Is the
most mhd. We would like to have
every advocate of road machines in
this section and If they had too many
scales of contentioa on their eyes to
see, we would have enough mud TO re-
store their eyesight without putting
spIttle in the clay. We need n machine
