Mr. Hand will go to New York today
to arrange about the programme. 1t is
pleasant to note that not only the
greatest of foreign artists have been
engaged this season for appearance in
Scranton but that an opportunity is
given for this brilliant home talent as
well. on this occasion Miss Claire Hoo
ran will make her public debut as
pianist To have the honor to appear
with Schumann-Hein Is one which
might well be coveted by any per-
former and this gifted girl is to be
congra tulated. Unprecedented interest
is felt in her work as she has been
heard by but few since her three years
studys with Lescheitzcky, the great
master who Paderewski says taught
him repose and grace.
Another most popular feature of this
concert will be Professor Theodore
Hemberger's violin solo. The Hem
berger String Quartette will also play.
The affair will be given exceptional
brilliance by reason of the Charity Ball
and the subscription Dance at the
Bicycle club patrons of both having
planned to attend the concert first.
Thus the full dress effect will add much
to the interior of the beautiful theatre.
1t is with unaffected enthusiasm that
Nine. Schuman-He will be greeted.
She made the most distinct hit with her
audience last season and she comes on
this occasion at the earnest request OF
the patrons at that concert. She is the
favorite singer before American aud
fences today. Mr. Isidore Luckstone
will be her accompanist as at the pre-
vious concert

The success of Ethel Barrymore, who
appears at the Lyceum theatre next
Saturday. may well be styled a fash
ionable triumph The play Captain
Jinks," has proved as popular as the
tune for which it was named, and
Miss Barrymore has in one step taken
high rank among the leading act
tresses of the country. She has so
truly caugth the manner of the old
crinoline and the hustle and the at
mosphere of the early seventies, that
the play would be Il go If for no other
reason and there are many. Miss Bar
rymore is not only repeating the great
personal success which she made last
season, but she more emphatically than
before establishes the fact that she has
earned a place in the front rank of
American society actresses.

Letters have been received from the
party which left here for an Oriental
trip early in February, and including
Messrs. r. G. Brooks, G, d. Jones and
others. In letter received yesterday
Mrs. Jones writes entertainingly of life
on board the Celtic and of the delight
full stop made at Madeira. There are
500 passengers, with a crew of $50 men.
The dining rooms seat 445 people. When
this large company of visitors landed
on the island of Madeira they attracted
much interest, for such a great vessel
had not put in there before. No horses
are used, because of the mountainous
character of the island. The tourists
came down the mountain in wicker
sleds, guided by men who ran behind
holding the ropes. In Funchal, Bishop
HartZell, of the Methodist church, with
two missionaries, came aboard the ship.
The Scranton party's ride in bullock
carts was one of their novel expert
ences.
