ARTISTIC ORGAN RECITAL.
Pleasing Entertainment Given by
Mr.. Pennington and Pupils.

Mr.. Pennington and Pupils.
The organ and choral concert given
last night at Elm Park church is the
climax of the grand recitals Mr.. Pen
nington has been providing since his
advent in Scranton. AS usual the pro-
gramme was carefully selected with
due attention to artistic contrast in
numbers, and every piece, whether
piano, violin. organ, or choral number
was felt to be a gem in it's own ap-
propriate setting. 1t would be impossi-
BILE to pick out any selection as better
rendered than any other. One of the
qualities of Mr.. Pennington's work
and of that done under his supervision
is perfection in detail and too much
cannot be said of the amount of pa
tience and untiring practice on the
part of all those who participated in
the concert. This is shown most in
the choral work accompanied by both
organ and piano and in the piano sex
tettes. In both, precision In attack and
rhythm was attained that bespeaks a
high degree of musical culture on the
part of all concerned, concentration of
attention, and exacting leadership.
The choral work was perhaps the
best ever given in the city. The sing
ers were all trained voices and include
many of the soloists in our prominent
churches. To this fact is attributable
the purity of intonation resonance,
beauty of tone, and strength of the
chorus. 1t is to be hoped that this is
but the first time that a special occa-
sion will bring together in one mas
nificent body our leading singers.
Mr.. Pennington's numbers were as
usual great in their conception AMI
played in his usual faultless manner
The Toccata by Widor and the Tam
haueser chorus and march were per-
haps the most enjoyed. The first af-
forded an opportunity for the use of
Mr.. Pennington's great technique
while the second displayed the orches-
trail variety of tone color in the organ.
The Sonata or violin and piano by
Schuberth, played by Mr.. Widmayer
and Mr. Pennington, was remarkable
for the complete sympathy and unity
in Interpretation Of the two players.
The succession of tones or chords was
never allowed to become the prominent
thing before the minds of the audience;
but rather the thought and feeling
which the composer put into his pro-
ductiOn.
The most significant comment upon
the recital was the size of the audi
ence. The large auditorium was filled
with an audience that evinced by its
marked silence and centered attention
its musical appreciation.
The piano sextettes were played by
Misses Browning, Conrad Follansbee,
Gerlock, Hutchinson and Wagenhurst
and Mr.. Wilkens, all from the ad-
vanced classes at the Conservatory.
The following constituted the select in
vited chorus: Mesdames Bunnell, Carr,
Lister, Powell, Uthman, Misses Colvin,
Davies Duncan, James, Jones, Matt
hews, Midway, Randolph, Salmon,
SaXtOn, Skinner Z. Thomas, NJ.
Thomas; Messrs. Abraham, ,Atkin, Bun
nell, limerick, Evans, Hoilster,
Hughes, Johns, Krieg, Roberts, War
ren, Wooler.

THEN AND Now.

To say that a man has Brights
disease was once considered
equivalent to saying that he
stood in the valley of the shadow
of death. The end was only a
question of time. But that was
before Warmers Safe Cure had
spread Its benefits over the land.
c. H. Lincoln, of Medford,
Mass, says +:
"I had typhoid fever, and
after 1t came kidney trouble,
and it was whispered around
that had Bright's disease of
the kidneys. l knew what that
meant, so l pitched the medi-
cine I had outdoors, l then
bought one bottle of Warmers
Safe Cure, and took 1t according
to directions. The first bottle
gave me relief and / bought a
second. Before that was gone
had gained nearly ten pounds.
continued taking Safe Cure,
and It cured me-"
81 am fifty-nine years old,
and enjoy as good health as any
man of my age. If anyone has
kidney trouble and Warmers
Safe Cure will not cure him,
nothing will. I believe it the
best and only cure for kidney
disease on earth"
Nowhere does the proverb,
Delays are dangerous" apply
with such force as In kidney
arrangement. When Bright's
disease has set in the kidney
tissue is breaking down and
passing away every minute.
The strength of the body is
sapped steadily, surely,
Inasmuch as Warmers Safe
Cure alone stops kidney degen-
Grafton, should it not be used
without an hours delay when

PASSENGER TRAIN DERAILED.
Action Intentional in Order to Avoid
q Wreck,

The Ontario and Western passenger
train due in this city at 4.3O p. m.
Wednesday, was Intentionally derailed
at North Scranton, in order to avoid
a wreck on the road. At the Provi-
dence crossing, where the Delaware,
LaCkawanna and Western tracks cross
the Ontario and Western tracks a coal
train and the passenger were ap-
preaching.
The signals were all right, but the
watchman foresaw a disaster if the
trains were permitted to come together,
and he rushed to a switch nearby
and threw it open. The passenger
train ran into 1t and plunged along the
ties for sixty feet before it could be
stopped.
The occupants of the train wera
shook up, but no injuries resulted, and
the damage was slight but the timely
action of the switchman undoubtedly
averted a serious accident.

OBSERVANCE OF THE DAY
The Weather Was Delightful, but
There Was No General Suspen-
sion of Work in the City.

Thanksgiving day in Scranton, with
its mild Temperature, and occasiona!
sunshine, was observed quite generally
by the residents in every section of the
city.
In the central portion, where busi-
ness was suspended, the usual holiday
crowds We're gathered, and the differ
ent places of amusement seemed to be
the mecca Of pleasure-seekers.
The religious services at the various
churches in the morning were well at
tended and the sermons, prayers and
songs were appropriate to the occa-
sion. The foot ball game at Athletic
park attracted an unusually large
crowd, and the various entertainments
and socials in the evening were patron
ized by large assemblages. In the sub
urbs, the usual activity was noticeable,
particularly in North and South Scran-
ton, where the ladies of several churches
served Thanksgiving dinners and sup
pers.
From an industrial point of view the
working classes have much to be thank
full for All the mines operated by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
company We're working as usual yes
terday, owing to the brisk demand for
coal, and the employees of the North
and South mills of the Lackawanna
Iron and Steel company also worked as
usual.
The majority of the employees at the
car shops were idle, few men being
engaged in making necessary repairs
Work was suspended at the Dickson
shops, The business houses Of the city.

gloomy forebodings. In conclusion. he
said:
Christians are the salt of the earth,
and the light of the world, and they
must scatter the salt and let their light
shine. AS Christians and patriots we
ought to feel. and we do feel, that,
alike for the individual, the community
and the nation, Bible truth instilled
into the mind and practiced in the life
or, in other words, true Christianity
Is our great national defense. There is
no sword like that. AS churches and
individuals and as nation, let us cling
to this sword, and let us see to it that
we use it wisely and we'll"

fit of the children's ward at the Lacka-

Some time ago well known business man
whose stomach and nerves were ruined by the
tobacco habit was secretly given a remedy by
his wife, and he never knew what cured him of
tine habit. He suddenly evinced such dislike
for tobacco that he concluded the weed had
finally fiOored him, and that his own determine
tion made him quit; she then treated her son, a
young man just y. He was a cigarette fiend,
inhaling the deadly fumes almost constantly,
and he too was made sick of the weed" His
mother enjoys quiet laugh to herself, at the
manner in which the young man tells of how he
came to the conclusion that cigarettes were
"drtgged and poisoned nowadays and not fit
to smoke"
7 he remedy is odorless and tasteless, can be
mixed with coffee or food, and wnen taken
into the system Il man cannot use tobacco in any
form. The remedy contains nothing that could
possibly do injury. 1t is simply an antidOte for
the poisons OF tobacco, and takes nicotine out Of
the system. 1t will cure even the confirmed
cigarette ticnd. and is u GOd-Send to mothers who
have growing boys addicted to the smoking Of
cigarettes. The remedy is called Tobacco Spe-
siiic, and free trial packagc of the remedy will

gerins and dangerous diseases.
