LAST NIGHTS CHAMBER CONCERT.
1t Awakened Much Enthusiasm in the
Large Audience.

The third season of chamber con-
certs found Scranton public more
receptive, more aDDreciative and more
demonstrative in it's appreciation than
ever before.
The sterling merit of the thorough
musicians to whom Scrantonians are
indebted for these evenings of melody
has been the irresistible magnet to
which the lovers of music have been
attracted. This merit and these men
have done much toward the diffusion
of proper appreciation of the classics.
They have labored hard, unseltishly
and well and, already, their reward
is within sight.
Each of the gentlemen whose studi-
Gus research are the means toward
this good end, shows a perceptible de-
velopment and an artistic broadening
which is most satisfactory. Mr.. Hem
berger. Mr.. Bauer. the Rippards, Mr..
Conant and Mr. Shiffer have certainly
found an artistic wealth in their CO.
operation even though the material
wealth which should be concomitant
is lacking.
The development was revealed to n
large and cultured audience in the
pretty but acoustically inferior audit
Orium of the Young Mems Christian
association last evening. The first
number. Mozart's Quartette, No. II.
for strings in G major, was sufficient
revelation in itself. The musicianly
phrasing Of the most difficult passages,
the sympathetic Interpretation of each
of the four movements and the elevat-
ed rendition throughout was the
cause of greater and more sim
cere applause than has been
heard at like function in Scran-
ton in many days. When you get a
Scranton audience enthused, the per-
fOrmance must be remarkably artistic
and when you get a concert audience
enthused, the artistic must be touched
with genius.
George Q. T. Weiss sang florid bal
lade by Loewe. Mr.. Weiss has fine
presence, a rich. full voice under per-
feet control and method which Is
effOrtleSs. His first selection did not
give him a dramatic possibility. This
was atoned for in Haydns recitative
and aria Rolling in FOaming Billows.'
Here Mr.. Weiss showed to his best
advantage and the salvo of applause
which marked the conclusion of his
rendition, compelled an encore.
Schubert's Quintette in A major was
the last melodic course of the eve
ming. Mere ton seemed
to have no part in this. The strings
seemed not to be strings. They were
voices. or rather they We're one voice
which thrilled with melodic passion.
laughed with rhythmic glee. sobbed
and broke in mystic grief and nobiy
swelled in the final burst of riOtous
and triumphant melody.
The first chamber concert of the sea-
son 1861 was an artistic success, and
50 it is here recorded.

TROUBLES OF LOVING COUPLES.
They Experience Some Difficulty in
Getting the Knot Tied.

Fate, or what Is quite as ineXOrable,
stringent marriage laws, seem deter
mined to prevent or at least delay the
marriage of a loving young Bingham
ton couple. The man is Delbert A..
Wakefield and the woman, Emily h..
Davis. They tried to get married in
BinghamtOn but the fact that on Oct.
2. 1894, he was divorced in Towanda,
this state, and that Pennsylvania di-
vorces are not recognized in York
state made their effort futile.
Upon encOuntering this impediment,
they We're not at all discouraged, but
jumping aboard train came to this
city, expecting to have easy sailing.
But they had not studied the Pennsyl-
vania laws either and to their great
chagrin We're refused license because
the girl was only 10 years of age. They

Dhia Too Late to Get Her Boy.

Mrs. Hodgdon. of Philadelphia, called
upon Chief of Police RObling yesterday
to take her 13-year-old wandering boy
horS, but she had to be informed that
he had taken off his shoes and coat and
had made his escape through a window
of the station house. She was very
much grieved, but thanked the chief
for his kindly interest in the boy and
told him if he finds the youth agHn to
ship him to Philadelphia on the first
train.
The boy, she said. gave signs recent
ly of a growing disposition to contract
evil habits, and they decided to send
him out into the country. But if the
Quaker City was too speedy for him,
he was too speedy for the country town
and he soon took to rambling and got
this far

INJURED TO THE EXTENT OF SIS.
So Felt the ArbitratOrs Concerning g
Mrs. TWining's Reputation.

According to the opinion of Arbitra-
tors John X. Edwards, b. f. Tinkham
and John +. Cummings, the " foul and
slanderous words" which Cora Evans
uttered against Minnie G. Twining,
and for which $1,000 slander suit
was brought. injured her reputation
only $l5 worth.
The suit grew out of a little neigh
bOrly, Over-the-fence vOdinage up in
Park Place last August. Mrs. Twining
referred to Mrs. Evans as slow, Irish
trash" so it is said, and Mrs. Evans
thereuDon made an even more terrible
accusation against Mrs. Twining. And
then they proceeded to heap up legal
expenses.

TEACHERS COLUMN.
q. a. MADDEN, pIroR
II is the duty of teachers. holdir

It is the duty OF teachers, holding
as they do such a close relation
with the pupils, on all occasions to
preserve the most social bearing to-
ward the children they are teaching.
Whenever a teacher meets his pu.
pills at other places than the school
room he should, in the most friendly
manner, show his interest in them
by such courtesies as are due from
one friend to another. He should
be glad to meet them, and should
recognize them in the most cordial
terms. He should enter into con.
%versation with them, if circum-
stances permit, upon the most
pleasant topics to the children
This would give the teacher favor.
able opportunities for appealing to
the better sensibilities of the chill
dren, and would help the teacher
to discipline the children more cas-.
lily when they meet IN the school
room. Now, upon the other hand,
if the teacher fails to recognize his
pupils when he meets them away
from the school room the children
naturally and rightly conclude that
the teacher is hypocritical in his
manifestations of interest in their
welfare alone in the school room.-
Children are sensitive to even ap.
parent neglect of courtesy from
their teacher, and the teacher should
be very careful on all occasions to
show to the children that his inter.
est in them is sincere. If the teacher
is brusk and r~eticent toward his
pupils the children readily feel the
responsiveness, and lose to a degree
confidence in the teachers sincerity
of interest shown in the school
room. No one is capacitated for
the high calling of a teacher who is
so brusque in his manners as not to
be able to make himself agreeable
to the finer sensibilities OF the chill
dren wherever he may meet them.
The people should see that the
teacher be an all-round educator.
