Music,

1t is not surprising that the pros
poets for very large attendance at
the Conservatory of Music the COM
ing year are extremely bright. This
institution is progressive and it's sue
cess is due to positive merit and actual
results. Mr.. Pennington spares no
pains to introduce each year into the
conservatory new improvements and
advantages which will materially con-
duce to the students progress.
TO say that going to the conserva-
tory for musical instruction is a fad
may be true, but for any one to assert
that this fad will not be permanent
shows him to be unacquainted with
the conservatory's hold upon the peo-
pie. In education as in business, the
public is not slow TO show it's approval
gives value received" and possibly a
little more.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Alfred Pennington
spent a few days at the Buffalo ex-
position this week. Mr.. Pennington
expresses himself as greatly impressed
with the large daily attendance at the
free organ recitals given on the large
organ III tHt VI huslc anu tnt
manifest appreciation of a promiscu-
Gus public.

day. Miss Stone Is a graduate of and
late member of the faculty in the

Miss Mabel A. French, of Newport
Rhode Island, arrived in the city yes
terday. Miss French was a member
of the Scranton Conservatory faculty

her return to the city and to her Con-
servatory duties will afford much
pleasure.

The Tribune has received a copy OF
The Conservatory Keynote, which Is
isaued in the interests of the Scranton
Conservatory of Music. Besides short
articles pertaining directly to the
Conservatory, IL contains several pithy
articles on music and musical educa-
| ton. The one on Trash That is So
called Music" deserves to be needed.
That Coon Songs are not conducive
to refinement there can be no doubt,
and their popularity in the low re-
| sorts of a great city is a SUFFICIENT in
dex of the low moral plane which
| produced them The most of them are
worse than silly, both as to words and
music, and their use, especially by
| those whose social position gives them
