ACOUSTICS ARE ALL RIGHT.
Test of the New Aimory Made Yes
terday by Local Music,o,s

There was test made yesterday ar-
ternoon, at the new Armory, which cf-
fectivcly settles all concern about the
acoustics OF that vast cditice. Instead
Of being poor. the acoustic properties
are proved to be Just the thing for
music, although too vibrant for speak
ing tones.
Fred g. Hand, John T. Watkins. Al
fred Wooler and 1.lewellyn Jones
spent some time in the big auditorium
yesterday. making various expert
ncnts in the carrying power of n
voice. Mr.. Watkins sung n number OF
selections. while standing by the piano
at the Adams avenue entrance. Every
word of the songs could be heard with
the utmost distinctness. even under
The balcony at the extreme end. The
same was true of Mr.. Wooler's voice.
The two gentlemen sang solos. the
effect of which was exceedingly bcau-
tiful. There is an odd prolonsing of
tone, which Is in no sense an echo. out
which Is infinitely sweet in it's lingcr-
ing, yet cvanescent quality.
J'be people of this region have u
great and wonderfully enhanced pleas
ire in store for them in the hearing
Nordica in Our new Armory. The un-
expected developments in the test of
voices yesterday-unaided by sounding
board or audience--will afford an even
ing of delight. such as even the most
sanguine could scarcely have pre-
dcted. Every note of the little cot
tagc piano, every shading of the
voices, was as clear and beautiful as
could possibly be desired. When our
fine symphony orchestra is heard in
the vast room. the effect may be in,as-

ono OF Suranton's newest Industries,
the Scranton Bolt and Nut works. Is
prospering so well that the size OF the
original plant established only two
years agos is being doubled.
When the bolt and nut works start
ed. in December, 1890, the main build
ing covered Il surface area of $1,000
square feet. The business grew 30
rapidly that the directors began to
consider the advisability of increasing
the size of the plant. This idea took
definite form a few months ago. When
1t was decided to just double the size
of the factory building. Plans We're
ordered prepared and the contract for
the work was let to Conrad Schroeder
who has begun building operations.
Tho addition, which is now in course
of construction, is being erected on the
westerly side Of the present factory
building. and will, when completed.
form a continuous extension of the
latter, the entire room to be under one
root. 1t is being constructed of brick
and will be practically iireproof. 1t
Will cover Il surface area of Il little
over 1900 feet.
When the addition is completed and
the new machinery installed, the ca-
pacity of the bolt forging department.
threading room, blacksmith shop and
machine shop, will be exactly doubled
and a more extended variety of nuts
and bolts than the company is now
turning out will be manufactured.
The works We're started with 200
men. but when the new addition is
ready for use on January !. as called
for in the contract. no less than 800
men will be required to operate the
plant.
A new stOrehouse for the storing of
refined bar iron has recently been con-
structed, and connected with the
Lackawanna railroad by a special
switch for the loading Of the iron.
This building is of frame construc-
tion and is 12OxlO feet in size.
The new addition will be rendered
practically fire proof by the instalia-
ton OF Il number of patent sprinklers.
which operate automatically III case OF
fire. These have been already in
stalled in the original factory build
ing and We're placed in the new store
house last week.
The size of the rolling mill is not to
be increased at present. as it was
built sufficiently large at the outset to
prepare enough steel for "a plant as
large as the present one will be when
the addition has been completed.
The land on which the new building
is being erected was included in the
original purchase, but to be prepared
for still another increase in the size
of the plant, two and Il quarter acres
of land adjoining the present site was
recently acquired.

Saturday.

Two of the local football teams wero
victorious ON Saturday, the Scranton
high school team defeating the Key
stone academy eleven at Factoryville
by Il score of II to and the School of
the Lackawannn winning from the
Harry Hillman academy in this city
with II score of IL to 0.
The game ut Factoryville WAS won
largely through the playing of Cap
tain Tropp and of Manness and Ride
naur, the two tackles. The latter
played his first game of the season and
made Il splendid showing, making the
longest run of the day, 80 yards. as
sisted with superb interference by
Tropp, Weisennuh and Phillips. Sew
elal decisions by the referee, Prof.
Thomas. of Factoryvile, We're objected
to as being grossly unfair by the high
school players.

Some Men
Of the Ho<sr

Morris NJ. Eeck OF this city, who
served as Il lieutenant in the Ninth
regiment Of the National Guard Of this
state during The Spanish American war
and who was afterwards appointed by
President Mckinley Il second lieuten-
ant OF the T'orty-second regiment of
United States Volunteers and spent
Two years in the Philippines in active

time he has received a second lieutcn-
ants commission in the regular army
from President Roosevelt.
The officers who went out Of services
when the volunteer army was mustered
out u few months ago We're allowed TO
take the examination for n commission
in the regular army. Lieutenant Keck
took this examination and passed it in
a most creditablc manner. His COM
mission from President Roosevelt fol-
lowed the announcement of the result
of the examination. Ire has not Yet
been assigned to duty. The young lie,i>
tenant is a son Of Colonel j. NJ. l<eck,
former commander of the Ninth regi-
ment and is Il splendid soldier. His
new commission opens "A permanent
career for him in the army.
Since William j. Thomas MAS APP
pointed superintendent of the bureau
of highways and sewers. compalil-
lively little or no complaint has been
heard about the condition of The city's
avenues and streets, and his selection
for the position bears out Suparinteud-
ent Rocne's prediction that he is The
right man in the right place.
Mr.. Thomas is Il man who does not
make much noise about what he would
do If he had more money at his COM
nand, but is doing the very best that
he can with his limited appropriations.
The paved streets are being re-
paired, flushed and cleaned regularly,
the unpaveu streets are being put in
better shape as fast as possible, ANA
much has already been accomplished
along this line since the change in
