APPROVAL OF A CRITIC.
Letter from Mrs. Black on the Home
Concert.

The following letter has been re-
ceived by John y. Watkins from Mrs.
C. A. Black, who is recognized as one
of Scranton's most discriminating
musical critics:
Dear Mr.. Watkins: You must LET con-
gratulate you upon your perfect judgment in
selecting artists for the Home Tor the Friendless
benefit. Ben Davies. the splendid Welsh tenor
and Fritz Krcislcr, the vio!inist enough
for great entertainment: but when you add to
these the names of Madame Lillian Blauvelt,
whose voice is the admiration of two continents
and whose charming personality makes her a
veritable siren, you have reached the ne plus
ultra of grand entertainment.
Madame Blauvelt always sings pitch, which
cannot be said of even very famous sing
erS Her voice is rare soprano. embracing a
register Of two and one.half octaYes, and is re-.
markuble for sweetness and purity of tone, as
well for its sympathetic power, Her cNecu-
tion is equally remarkable and in the inter
probation of many varieties OF music, from the
oratoros Of Handel to the brilliant rondos Of
the Italian and French masters or simple
tional ballads she is not surpassed by any one on
the concert stage. l. for one, thank yon for
bringing this galaxy of musical stars to Scranton
and | am sure that no will willingly miss
the opportunity of hearing these delightful sr.
fists. Truly yours,
c. A. Black.

minor objections raised but there were
the principal ones.
The members of the executive COM
mittee of the Central Labor union re-
ceived the newspaper men after the
meeting. and through Select Council
man Joseph Oliver, announced that
the union had endorsed the action of
the committee In endeavoring to effect
a settlement of the strike" but had
"emphatcally rejected the proposition
secured by the committee from the
company" Asked If the committee
would continue its efforts to settle the
strike, one of the members said:
We'll, we might considered another
proposition If it came to us, but we
won't walk our legs off looking for
trouble "a second time. L can tell you"
President John II. Devine who was
most active In the movement which
ended in such an unexpected manner
yesterday. said
Il think that the proposition rejected
by the Central Labor union today was
good and a practicable one and that
its acceptance both by the Central
Labor union and the strikers would
have been best for all interests con-
cerned. My fellow-members of the
committee think the same way, but
we are but the servants of the central
body, which voted to reject the pro-
posed plan of settlement, and we can
do nothing"
A VERY SORRY LOT.
. The members of the executive COM
mittee of the Central Labor union We're
a very sorry lot last night. They did
not feel anything more than disap-
pointment over having their recon-
mendation ignored, but when it came
to their ears that the strikers, in their
anxiety to insure the rejection of the
proposition, did not hesitate to make
serious reflections the Central unions
committee were made indignant.
This is nice treatment" said one of
them last night to a Tribune reporter.
Our committee has lost time and
money and walked itself thin securing
these new terms, yet the only return
we get is villification at the hands of
those we so earnestly, honestly and
untiringly tried to help
Only one member of the Central
Labor union committee, j. F. Ham
mes, attended last nights meeting of
the strikers. The explanation given
for the absence of the others was that
the only purpose they could serve by
being there would be in the capacity
of targets for abuse, and they felt they
had had quite enough of that sort of
thing. As one of them put it last
night: I'VE stood about all the
tongue-lashing we're capable of stand
