CALLED ADAM A NAME,
It Was Something, 1t Is Alleged,
Worse Than His Real One.

Adam Rowdychekski,o of Dickson City,
was called out of his name by one
Michael Makisimovltch, a neighbor,
June 4, last, and now Adam sues
Michael to recover 5000 damages for
the injury done his fair name, fame.
reputation and whatever else in that
line he possesses or claims to possess.
Since the alleged vile epithet was
applied, the people of Dickson City
don't give Adam, whether he deserves
it or not, the same respect that was
their wont previous thereto. This,
Adam considers his greatest injury.
Attorney Charles Z. Oliver will assist
Adam in collecting the 5000.

A number of the members of select
council are very much wrought W
over the condition of affairs in the
revealed In the interview with Chief
John Fl. Walker. published in Thurs

is predicted at next weeks meeting.
The fact that the chief himself has
admitted that permanent man, whom
he was rcprimanding, told him mot
to get gay or he'd get his badge taken
from him" is taken as evidence that
things are not as they should be.
That's about the rankest piece of
characterization l ever heard Of" said
one member yesterday, land the man
should have been dismissed at once"

to give the name of this permanent
man. 1t will be remembered that Il
was Mr.. Oliver who FIRST gave out the
information that such an event oc-
Cured. Should Mr.. Oliver refuse to
disclose the name of the man, a reso-
luton will be introduced calling upon
the chief to furnish his name to coun-
ellis.

The big singing festival at Brooklyn,
N. Y, which will be attended by the
Junger Maennerchor, of South Scran-
ton, will be one of the greatest events
of the kind ever held In this country.
1t opens today and will include July 5.
The emperor of Germany has sent a
magnificent $4,000 solid silver statu-
cite on a bronze pedestal as a prize
in commemoration of the event. Bronze
busts of Richard Wagner and Franz
Abt, grand pianos, with silver string
pegs and white enamclled woodwork,
and medals without number will be
distributed to the value of $4,000.
More than ten thousand male sim
gers from various parts of the union
will participate, and five thousand
Brooklyn school children will join n
wOman's chorus of two thousand in
rendering familiar anthems. The or
chestra will be the largest ever as
scmblad hereabouts. In the torchlight
parade on the night of June 80 there
will be at least eight thousand men.
The festiN al will cost in round num-
bers $4,000. Two hundred and twelve
singing societies will participate.
Through the courtesy of Governor
Roosevelt, the Thirteenth Regiment ar
mory has been placed at the disposal
of the United Singers society of
Brooklyn. the hosts on this occasion,
and this great building, which will ac-
commodate nearly twenty-five thous-
and people, is to be the headquarters
of the locnl and visiting singers dur
ing the forthcoming week. In recog-
milton of the governors kindness, he
will be given one of the four SDeCial
official souvenirs of the golden jubilee,
bound in gold and silver, printed on
parchment and richly Illuminated. The
other three recipients of this memento
will be President Mckinley, who sig
nified to a committee who went to
Washington to invite him, his inten-
tion of attending if his official duties
viii permit; Kaiser wilhelm, of Ger
many, because of his generous recog-
milton of the event, which was an un-
precedanted compliment, and Otto
Wissner, of Brooklyn, who contributed
$4,000 worth of prizes.

OFFICIAL BADGE.

In addition, the plain but tasteful
Official badge will be sent to each one.
This consists of a blue ribbon, with
the inscription, Nineteenth National
Saengerfest 1900" at the lower end
suspended from a golden bar lettered
Brooklyn" A short red, white and
blue bow, suspended on the ribbon,
upholds n golden Tyre.
In preparation for this eventful fes-
tival Of song, which occurs only every
three years, Arthur Claassen, the
musical conductor this year, has made
two tours of the northeastern states
for the purpose of rehearsing the sing
ers who intend to compete for the
prizes.
The Brooklyn Arion and the German
Liederkranz societies are displaying
unusual energy in practicing. AS
Brooklyn is the host on this occasion,
the local singers are debarred from
competing for the "Cities Prizes"-the
bronze busts to be awarded to the city
whose delegation performs most meri-
torously, which always excite the
keenest rivalry-but it was felt that
there would be no indelicacy in COM
peting for the Kaiser Wilhelm forty
thousand mark souvenir and the Arion
and Liederkranz officers are straining
every nerve to win it for Brooklyn.
They realize that many formidable
competitors will appear on the scene,
among them the Musical Art club, of
Baltimore, and the famous Junger
Maennerchor, of Philadelphia.
These two societies are generally
conceded to stand in the foremost
rank, as far as the rendering of part
songs is concerned, and to wrest the
laurels from them the local vocalists
will have to do phenomenally good
work. However, the Arlon and Lieder-
kranz have made enviable records, and
especially the former In its concerts
given under the auspices of the Brook
lyn Institute of Arts and Sciences.
Both organizations have been holding
rehearsals twice a week for nearly two
months. Representatives of the lead
ing European singing societies will also
attend this golden jubilee, including
the celebrated Vienna Maennerchor.

Mr.. Chittenden now makes a new
claim. He contends that the reports
of fires sent in to the chief by the
foremen of the various companies are
padded, as far as the amount of tine
consumed by the several companies in
actual service. The number of hours
worked by each company at fires dur
ing the year ending April 2. as reported
by the various forement, is as follows:
