The Artistic Was Constantin Won

No more pleasing piano recital was

Constantin Won Sternberg, of the
Philadelphia Conservatory, was the
pianist on this occasion. 1t was more
distinctly a recital for students than
any of those preceding. The artistic of
the evening gave valuable comments
on the numbers during the progress of
the programme, and added much to
the enjoyment of his listeners by this
personal touch.

GROCERS ARGUE WELL.
Succeed in Converting the License
Committee to Their Way of
Thinking.

j. II. Rittenhouse, Marshall Everett
T. Il. Mason and Augustus NJ. Storr
representing the Retail Grocers' asso-
citation, appeared berore the license
committee of common council last
night and succeeded in inducing the
committee to frame a report favorng
the passage of the Coleman license tax
ordinance as originally presented.
The ordinance seeks to impose on
hucksters "A tax equivalent to the mer-
camille tax paid by merchants. 1t was
drafted by the Retail Grocers' asso-
citation and in the original fixed u tax
of $15 year on hucksters peddling
from wagons and $40 year on those
peddling from crates, baskets and the
like.
Common council passed the ordi-
nance on first reading, but later
amended it by cutting the taxes in
half. Its friends had it referred to
committee, that the grocers' associa-
tion might be heard.
The Srocers' representatives argued
to the committee that it was an injus-
tice to permit free or cheap competi-
tion to their business, when they are
called upon to pay not only mercan-
tile tax, but also rent. light, heat,
water and the like, which the ped
dlers, in most instances, wholly escape.
In every municipality up the valley,
except Jessup, the tax ON hucksters is
more than the ordinance now con-
templates. If a huckster can afford to
pay $40 year to peddle in Peckville,
he surely ought to be able, it was ar
gued to pay more than $3.50 in Scran-
ton.
The committee was convinced of the
reasonableness of these arguments and
unanimously decided to report in favor
of passing the ordinance in its origl-
nal shape.

Mr.. Gurrell withheld his approval
until assured that the grocers them
selves would have to take out n
huckster's license il they placed ped
dlars on the road. He also declared
against license taxes in general on
the ground that it is invariably an in
direct tax on the consumer, but he did
not want TO interpose his principles to
the injury of the measure which the
merchants We're so anxious to have
passed.

Action was taken at last nights an
nual meeting OF the First Presbyterian

| conjunction with the said trustees in
effecting the immediate sale of the

the funds derived from the sale of this
property shall be used in providing for
the speedy construction of new
church on the property located on the
corner of Madison avenue and Olive
street, work thereon to be begun early

A condition of the sale of the Wash
ington avenue property, as provided by

been expended on the new church, the
