The Meat Trust.

The export OF meats for the month
81 March, tins year, amount to nine
million dollars in value. including
yearly lUopOoO pounds Of beef and
,'G - 600 pounds OF pork, as is shown
by the Treasury export record, which
should tee very good authority. This
statement most ctiectuAlly dIsposeS of
the persistent claim OF the beef trust
that scarcity OF cattle justiiies their
increase 0! prices to prohibitory rate
for many poor families. The average
price oil beef in London in April was
II cents per pound, 10 cents below the
quotations in New York the same day.
80 far the TEN porary injunction
against the trust has had little effect
IN reducing prices, on this side the
water. bat it is as certain as the rising
sun on each succeeding day that, if the
people are firm in moderating the con-
sumption oil beef and kindred pro-
ducts, the prices will recede. One hui
man characteristic, remarkable though
1T be, has been found to prevail wher.
ever close observation has been ap-
piled, and that is that it hurts the
rich mans feelings quite as much as
1T does the sensitive nature OF the
poo. man, to lose few dollars. 1t
seems that Avarice increases the love
OF lucre, in the majority of cases, in ex-
act proportion as accumulation piles I'D
the hoard. Soon as the stock man feels
that he has ran up against a combine
as steadfast as his own, and that he is
losing and will continue to lose money
there will be speedy return to healthy
traie principles, to the golden mean
that will live and let live, bring the
largest profits while promoting the
widest use OF prime necessity of life.

OF the banquet hall were unique, being
banks of rarest flowers whose beauty
was enhanced by electric effects. The
names of Carnegie" and Schwab,"
and "U. S. Steel" the hacker of their
colossal fortunes, appeared amid the
floral decorations in colored electric

mark the wind-up OF the inspection

were arrayed in colonial costumes,

THE PAUR ORCHESTRA.
Will Give Great Concert Next Mon
day Night.

Much interest is demonstrated in the
orchestra concert to be given next
Monday night at the new armory. 1t
has been many a day since Scranton
had a great orchestra concert from out
of town talent. In no other city in the
country is good music appreciated more
than here, and the enthusiasm with
which people welcome fine concerts is
always a credit to this town. Emil
Paur is considered one of the greatest
leaders in the world, and it is with sat-
isfaction that our musical circles have
learned of his engagement at this time.
He comes accompanied by celebrated
artists.
An additional reason why this con-
cert should be patronized to the fullest
extent of the armory is that the con-
cert is for the benefit of the Young
Women's Christian association. one of
the most deserving institutions in this
region.
That Emil Paur delights to give the
things that please the people is plainly
shown in the programme which he has
prepared for the concert in our city by
his great orchestra The programme Is
a gem. 1t combines the classical with
the popular in a waythat only master
could arrange. Among the popular num-
bers. perhaps the most popular is the
lovely "Traumerei," of Schumann. One
eminent writer has said that it is the
hearing of the things one knows, given
perfectly, which best serves the edu-
cational end and at the same time af-
fords the greatest delight.

A REMARKABLE SPRING.
One in Florida Flows at Rate of H.
900 Gallons a Minute.

AS Il part of the water resources of
the country. the United States geolog-
ical survey is studying the wonderful
Florida springs and lakes from which
most of the rivers of the state have
their rise. Kissengen spring in Polk
county is one of these. The water has
IL temperature of 10 degrees Fahren-
heit. and is strongly impregnated with
SULPHUR iron and other ingredients
that characterize artesian waters in
that region.
The spring is evidently natural
urtesian well. The water all comes
from one point, gushing up vertically
with great force through Il circular
oritlce in the bottom of the basin and
although the basin is thirty feet deep
or more the force is so great that the
water directly over the orlfice is con-
slderably higher than the surface of
the lake at the banks. While SWIM
ming in this delightful pool it is found
to be exceedingly difficult To keep in
position over this spring boil and im-
possible to sink in the water at that
point The outflow of the spring, as
measured by the photographers of the
Geological survey, was found To be
II 900 gallons each minute.
