SHANNON SOMEWHAT WORSE.
Was Very Restless and Feverish UP
TO n Late Hour Yesterday,

What seems to be a change for the
worse in the condition Of John Shan
non, the wounded burglar, at the Lack
awanna hospital, was noticeable yes
terday early in the day and late last
night he was very feverish.
A young womn, who claims to he
Miss Mary Shannon, sister of the
wounded man, has visited him several
days, and, by his request, read pas
sages of Scripture to him. She says
she is the sister spoken of in The Tri-
bune as being in Philadelphia. Shan
non called her Margaret at that time
Miss Shannon is at present out Of
the city, but has engaged rooms on
Adams avenue and expects to spend
much of her time with her brOther.
She is as reticent as her brother as
to their identity.
Chief of Police w. A. Gilham, of Sha-
mOkin, was asked to locate the man
Mulligan, extensively mentioned by an
afternoon newspaper in this city.
Chief Gillian says there is no such
man as Mulligan, no such number as
926, and no such street at West Market,
for the Market street in ShamON,n
runs north and south. The chief bo-
lieves that Mulligan was never in ShG -
mokin and the alleged letter was either
hoax or a forgery

THE CHARMING SONG CYCLE.
Something About an Event That Is
Awakening Much Interest.

The interest evinced in the prospect
i've performance Of the charming Song
Cycle In n Persian Garden" is grow
ing daily. All our music-loving people
are anticipating the event with keen
delight. "The Ruboiyat" is being ask
ed for at the library that the text may
become familiar and inquiries are be-
ing made for the score that the music
may be studied. In order that all may
have clear understanding of the work
the following description is given:
This novel and beautiful work was per-
formed for the first time in New York
under the direction of Mr.. Victor Harris,
on February s. 1898, and met with a sue
cess so strong and complete that before
the music season of 1S97-9S was at an end
it was recognized as one of the most
original, striking and uniformly success
full musical works ever brought to the
notice of a metre politan public
The work is written in concert fOrIl.
that is to be given on the concert plat
FORM without the need of scenery or cos
tunes, and Is to be rendered by a quar-
tette of SngcrS-SOpranO, cOntraltO, tenor
and bass-to the accompaniment of the
piano. 1t consists of twelve numbers,
three of which are scored for the quar-.
tette one a duo for soprano and tenor,
and the remaining eight for the different
solo voices. In addition to these are q
number OF short but beautiful recitatlvc
passages. The music is extremely mclu-
dious, grateful and effective, and repro
duces in the most intimate fashion the
tenderness. the depth, the philosophy Of
that fine old Persian poet of the Twelfth
century, whose "divine despair (as Ten
nyson aptly quotes iO has been made
alive to the modern world by the trans.
latiOn Of Edward Fitzgerald.
