May Be Heard in This City Before
the Season Closes.

Certain public spirited citizens who
Rave been successful in providing Car
hOnuale with a number of delightful
entertainments by artists Of renown
are row endeavoring to secure con-
cert by the Metropolitan male quar-
tette of New York city. The Star Ly-
ceum bureau of New York announces
this quartette out as it's strongest
musical attraction. Fifteen years of
unsurpassed success has attended these
artists, and during that time they
have been the central attraction in
noted musical gatherings. This quar-
tette bore the leading part in solo and
quartettc work in the famous five
days festival at Manhattan Beach last
season by Sousas band. and have the
highest personal endorsement Of John
Philip Souss.

in attempting to bring so high priced
an organization here So late in the

op fail to give good support to high

EM1-cENTENNrAL SOUVENIRS.
Some Interesting Historical Relics
That Have Been Brought to Light.

Among the many interesting histori-
cal relics which have been acquired in
the preparation OF the semi-centenniai
celebration details are the plate of the
first seal of the city and a picture of
the old log tavern" the first house
erected in Carbondale
The seal was cut out of block of
liEnum vitae about two inches square.
Some one has used his pen-knife on
the back of the block in an attempt
to cut 1t. but the face is unmarried
and in as good condition as when
made.
The design of the seal is decidedly
primitive and eXempliies our princi.
pal industry of early times. In cir
Gle on the words, Seal Of the City of
I Carbondale," and within these are a
pick and shovel crossed. The origin
of this coat of arms comes from the
fact that the name "Carbondale' was
first seen on package OF tools sent
to the miners at this place. This seal
Will be a feature of each certificate of
membership in the semi-centennial as
ton, which will be issued to SUBJ
scribers. The seal will be printed in
gold direct from the original block.
The second principal find is q pic
ture of the "Old Log Tavern" the
first house erected in Carbondale. It
is a great curiosity and it unique from
the fact that there is probably no 9TH
er in existence. 1t appears to have
been sketched in ink and was then
colored as true to nature as possible.
But the entire work is done crude. This
gives added interest to the picture,
however, as 1t speaks plainly of the
conditions then existing. 1t is the
property of Townsend Poore, of Scran-
ton, who was one of the chain boys
who helped to run out the city lines
on Jan. /, 1857. 1t formerly belonged
to his father, J. NJ Poore, one of the
pioneers of this section.
The painting shows a long, low
house with four windows and a door
in the front There is also the COM
pany's offices and another small addi.
ton. What is apparently the bluff at
Sandy's field is shown at the rear ana
Il tiny building is standing there. A
cut of the log tavern is to be made
for use in the souvenir descriptive and
commemorative of the semi-centennial
and Carbondale from 1927 to 1901.
