THE CHAMBER CONCERT.

The best treat the Scranton music lovers have
been offered this season was last evenings Cham
her concert. Judging by the small attendance,
one would be led TO believe that Scranton did
not recognize a most excellent opportunity OF l,s-
tcning to tho very highest fom Of music. II is
to be regretted that this event was not put
before the public in proper or adequate nan.

Following the graceful nlinuetto, which WIS

evidently not nearly long enough for the last
number on the programme for the audience

THIS was given, probably for the first time in an
arrangement OF "All Through the Night" for the

Scranton get the kind Of a second-cass

a STORMY SESSION.
After a rather stormy session be-
tween the general manager and COM
mittee the latter left the office and de-
cided to henceforth conduct all negotia-
tions direct with the higher officials in
Philadelphia.
At 1l.SO o'clock that night Shea and
Barrett left for Philadelphia, they be-
ing chosen by their fellow committee
men as delegates to President Clark.
The absence of any cheerful tldings
from them caused decided gloom at
union headquarters.
one of the members OF the commits
tee remarked to Tribune man that
the members of the union are becom-
ing desperate, and there is general
demand among them for an immcdi-
ate meeting to be held to take some
definite action.
"They feel that they have been
tricked," he declared, land we are
having more than little trouble to
keep them quiet. They feel wary about
our accepting any compromise with the
company. and the fact that the three
unions formed before this last one
were all disorganized through the COM
pany's instrumentality has, ] think,
not little to do with the feeling"

MONTHS BUILDING PERMITS.
Only Twenty-one Issued by Building
Inspector jackson.

The total number of building permits
issued by Building Inspector Jackson
during the month OF January was only
twenty-one. being the smallest num-
Der in many months. The Total value
OF the building erected under permits
was very large, being Sl62,5 59J.
This is accounted for by reason Of
the fact that the permit for the new
armory. valued at Sl2S,000. was taken
cut by Contractor Schroeder. The 9TH

the city. The amount of fees realized

HE ABUSED THE KING.
All Copies of O'Brien's Paper
Confiscated.

Dublin, May 1O.-1he police Of Cork
Limerick and other towns Of Ireland
seized all the copies OF William O'Brien's
weekly paper, The Irish People. found
at the news dealers today. The Offend
ing articles, it now appears. were abus-
i've attack. on King Edward, Cardinal
Vaughan and the address Of the king,
which, the paper declares, was such as
might have been presented to Legree
half century ago. The article finds
consolation in the fact that the presen-
tees were English Catholics. "who are
repudiated by the only really Catholic
nation now in existence. The loyalists
represent England only. and il the Eng
lish Catholics choose to acknowledge
themselves superstitious idolaters it is no
fault Of ou.s."

Pleasure Resort Proposed.

There is a proposition on foot among a
number OF the citizens Of this city to Sc
cure a pleasure resort short distance
from town. At present there is nothing
OF tie kind and no city needs it moro
than does Grand Junction.
1t has been suggested that the fruit
farm OF G. W. Steel, east OF this city, is
nicely located for such a resort. There
is natural pond which could be dredg
ed and an artificial lake made thereirom
which would be a mile aud halt long
and OF considerable width and depth.
This could be made for boating and bath
ing.
A large dancing pavilion coult be
erected under the shade trees in the front
yard, making most enjoyable place for
dancing and other sports.
For several years past The Sentinel
has urged that some place be secured
for public park or pleasure grounds
The Steele property may be the ideal
place.. Several citizens have gone over
the grounds and say they are admirably
adapted for the purpose.
At present there is no public or private
bath house in the city OF any great ca
paciry and bathing in this clim ate is an
acsolute necessity for health as we'll as
cleanliness.
When the work OF the week is done,
there is nothing whatever in the way O.
a resort where the people can congre.
gate for purposes OF entertainment and
rest.
1t is to be hoped that the matter OF &C.
curing the Steele place, or some other
well adapted property will be pushed,
until Grand Junction may have public
pleasure groupd, Commensurate with heI
size and growing peeds.
The daily sentinel., 1901-05-11

STOCK GAMBLERS PANIC.
General Business of the Country
Not Affected by Collapse of
Paper Fortunes.

New York, May 9.-The Herald will
say tomorrow:
Wall streets paper values crumbled
yesterday in the most terrific "stock
gamblers" panic that the street has ever
seen. Properly considered, the wreck
and ruin OF the day is not due to the
regrettable Northern Pacific corner, but
to the initiation Of values. Speculators
had built house OF cards which only
required little Jar, and down fell the
fabric upon the heads OF the men who
had reared the edi-ce.
Needless to say the crash does not
affect the business OF the country.
Widespread losses have been incurred,
fortunes on paper have vanished, and
many projected trips to Europe will be
deferred, but the mines, looms and
forges Of the country are busy, the rail-
ways are laden with freight, the crops
are going i million fielos and the real
wealth of the country is not affected.
The action taken last night by the
bankers who are parties to the contest
for control Of thu Northern Pacific is
evidence that what they sought was not
the money Of shorts, but actual stocks,
and but for the bears intervening in the
fght and selling mythical shares, the
contestants night have definitely ascer-
tanned Just how much actual stock each
contr olled, and the destructive antice in
prices would not have occurred.
When the brokers on the stock ex-
change were at their Wits end and al
most frantic, after fruitless efforts to
obtain money in the loan crowd, and
after several OF the banks had called
their loans, relief from the stringency Of
the money market came through con-
certed action the part OF fifteen banks,
whereby $19.5OO,OOO was quickly loaned
to brokers at interest ranging from 40 to
80 per cent.
This proved the safety valve on the
financial boiler that was then under
every pound OF steam that it could stand
to the square inch. No better way can
be conservatively used to express the
situation at noon yesterday. On one
hand brokers we're confronted with calls
for loans they had made at several
banks; on the other hand was market
that threatened them with financial dis
aster and total inability to secure new
loans. even at the unprecedented offer OF
Is and 80 per cent for accommodation.
