counteract the effect produced by the
deepening OF the channel within the
city limits.
The widening Of the river bank would
entail the lengtheninE of many of the
bridges and the building OF new abut-
ments. 1t was also pointed out that
the city has tacitly permitted en-
croachments upon the river bed and the
erection of improvements thereon, so
that any attempt to disturb these Will
result in protracted litigation of un-
certain end. It Is suggested that IL a
uniform width Is decided upon and the
course of the river Strengthened In
places the same end can be obtained.
The report of the committee was
adopted.
The appropriation ordinance was
passed on second reading, after an un-
successful attempt had been made to
cut out the salary of the assistant
building inspector and the item for the
Keyser Valley Hose company. New

as follows:
BY Mr.. vauglan--provding for preparation Of
plans for a stone arch culvert on Elm street, be.
tween Prospect and South Webster avenues.
BY Mr. MISUNDERSTANDING the director Of
public works to ascertain by what authority the
Diamond Land company Ia blocking up the water
course from the Trip rsyine

THE FoRTY-FIRsT RECITAL.
Conservatory Students Are Heard
in Guernsey Hall.

The Conservatory of Music gave its
forty first recital hast evening to an
audience which packed Guernsey hall
and the corridor. While not differing
In its character from the usual recitals
by Conservatory students the one last
evening was one of the most interesting
to the audience ever given by this in
stitution.
Piano solos We're played by the Misses
Alice Haines, Clementine Dorsey, Mary
Yeager. Genevieve Berghauser, Grace
Coolidge. Helen Elvin, Charlotte Croas-
dale, Norma Johns and Mr. Fred Koss-
man. OF these Grace Coolidge is de-
serving Of special mention. She played
two selections which We're character
ized by remarkable smootiness and
clearness and admirable use of the
pedal. Like praise is due to Norma
Johns who. for her age, is making un-
usual progress.
Adaline Evans. of Old Forge; Lydia
Hoskins, of Taylor; Edna Levan. of
Moosic: Laura de Gruchy, Of Hyde
Park. played in unison, at four pianos
the Elfin Dance by Hennes. The effect
was charming and merited the ap-
plause which was so cordially given. A
movement from the Sonatina. Opus 49,
by Clement. was played in the same
manner by Irene Chamberln. of Scran-
ton, Polly Davis. of Taylor and Har-
riet Ellis, of Hyde Park. August
Hoffman and William Mckee gave a
spirited rendering of Wach's charac-
teristic Promenade a Ane." Gene
We've Ehrgood. of Dunmore: Ethel
Watkins, Of Hyde Park, and Ethel
Young. of Clarks Summit, played Spin
dlers Fisherman's song at three pianos
The most difficult unison work was the
playing of the sonatna Opus 60. by
Kuhlau, by Edith Doty, of South
Scranton; Hazel Hessler, of Green
Ridge: Mary Patterson. OF Peterbor-
ough Canada, and Nellie Schlager, Of
Scranton.
Two ensemble numbers by eight
players at four pianos were rendered
by two different classes. A glimpse
into the thoroughness of the Faelten
system of fundamental training was
given by Howard Beard. Florence
Florey, Gertrude Hoban and Frances
Mccormick. when they played a selec-
ton in various major keys demanded
by members of the audience.
Before the playing Of the last num-
ber the director, Mr.. Pennington, adj
monished the students to beware OF
the trash which passes under the name
of music, which Is too often conspicu-
ously displayed in the windows OF
music stores. "There is," he said. vast
quantities Of music for the young as
pure and elevating in it's tone as the
literature Of like character so easily to
be obtained at the present day"

ScHUMANN-HE1NK CONCERT.
Great Musical Event at the Lyceum
Easter Monday Night.

The return of Madame Schumann-
I1enk to Scranton for the evening Of
Easter Monday at the Lyceum is
looked for with the greatest enthusi-
asm by those who heard her on the oc-
casion of her former visit to our CITY,
Interest in her coming Is no less
aroused among those lovers of the
finest music who from any cause were
unable to hear her then. The concert
in which she is to appear on March 81
will be the fitting climax to the series
of rare musical occasions. beginning
with Madame Nordica's appearance,
which have delighted Scranton during
the past season.
While it is in grand opera that Mad
anne Schumann-H -Heink's great fame
has, first of all, been won, especially in
the rendering of some of the finest Of
Wagnerian dramatic roles, she has
proven herself one of the most versa
tile of artists. In the lighter, brighter
melodic opera and in impassioned song
and ballad recital she Is equally at
home, equally satisfactory.
1t is not less pleasure to great num-
bers of people that our own Miss Glare
Horan. who for the past four years has
been studying in Vienna. under the
famous Leschetizky, Paderewskis s
teacher, is to make her debut as con-
cert pianist on this occasion. Madame
Schumann-Heink is also looking for
ward with much interest to hearing the
performance Of this gifted young lady,
whose playing has already brought her
such high commentator from select
audiences in Germany where, on two
or three occasions in chamber music
programmes. she was during her sum-
mer vacations called on to play with
artists who had already won distinc-
t!on.

FROM OCEAN TO OCEAN.
Wise Women Use the Great
Spring Medicine.
PAINE'S CELERY COMPOUND
It Is the Only Remedy That Can
Provide for the Increase
of Red Corpuscles
in the Blood.

From every section of the land, from
Maine to California, strong and well
attested reports of women. bloodless,
nervous, dyspeptic, neuralgia, rheu-
matte, and run down, and in many
cases so weak as to be bedridden, who
have been enabled to resume their
places in the family and in social life,
enjoying health, vigor, and true hap
piness, all through the aid of that great
blood purifier, blood maker, and health
giver, Paine's Celery Compound.
When Paine's Celery Compound is
used, the rapid change in color, flesh.
and expression of the face Is so marked
and observable, that repair of the vast
ed tissues might well be called re-
newal Of life
Paines Celery Compound is the only
medicine that can effectively increase
the proportion of red corpuscles in the
blood; this is a source of power over
all blood diseases, rheumatism, neural
gia, kidney and liver troubles, dyspep-
sia, indigestion, and general run down
condition.
Mrs. Martha p. Lunceford, a we'll
known and popular lady of Crawsfords-
vile, Ca, grateful for her cure by
Paine's Celery Compound, sends the
following letter for the benefit Of all
suffering women:-
IT think it is my duty to let you know
about the wonderful work Paine's Gel
cry Compound has done for me- /

or twenty years with dyspepsia, heart
and stomach trouble, and rheumatism,

OPENING OF ART EXHIBITION
Great Crowd Thronged the Scranton
Club Last Night.

An event of exceptional Importance
interested a large number of guests at
the Scranton club last night, on the
occasion of the opening of the Associ-
ated Illustrators Exhibition. Just how
important this delightful affair was can
scarcely be realized or the rooms would
have been thronged to still greater
degree.
This exhibition marks an era not
only for Scranton, but for this country.
1t is far more complete, as arranged in
the Scranton club, than it was in New
York. and it is to be seen only here and
in Cincinnati and Chicago. That it Is
here for the coming week is due to the
public spirit OF Thomas e. Jones, Of
the Scranton club. 1t came about
through his friendship with II. s.
Fleming, a member of the board of
control of the Associated Artists, who
is also an out of town member of the
Scranton club.
Much interest last night was due to
the presence of A. 3. Wenzell, prob
ably the most distinguished artist in
many lines connected with illustrating
in this or any other country, and the
distinguished Luis L. Mora, Reginald
3.
Mora and Mr.. and Mrs. Birch are
guests at "Fieldstone," Mr.. Jones'
suburban home
Mr.. Fleming received the guests with
Mr.. Jones last night, and made any
number of friends. He will be here
again during the exhibition, and ex-
poets to have Mr.. and Mrs. Otto Bacher
and perhaps John and Henry HUT up
next week.
Mr.. Wenzell's pictures were the centre
of attraction much of the time. People
stayed long to look at the great orig
inal Of 1.-THE Gifts" the first Of that
wonderful series of Christmas pictures,
which in it's illuminated richness, such
as few artists besides Abbey can de-
pict, was followed by "The Process
sional.' religious view of the holiday.
and then by the Bacchanalian aspect.
This large piece, SO splendid in detail
and sumptuous in accessories. is valued
at a thousand dollars. It may interest
those who linger before it to know that
| the model for the little page, who pre-
sents the gift, was Mr.. Wenzell's small
son.
Mr.. Morals "Old Bachelors Wooing''
is one of the gems of the collection,
| and bears the closest, friendliest study.
Mr.. Brch's spirited British Salute to
Old Glory is a prime favorite.
Any one interested in pictures may
| secure a card by application to men,
bers of the Scranton club. 1t is an ex-
| hibition which should be seen by thou
sands of our people. The pictures are
| all on sale.

DRANK CARBOLIC ACID.
Deserted Husband Ends His Life
After Sorrowing for Six Years.
Made Previous Attempt.

After sorrowing for six years over
his wife's desertion, Henry p. Light,
of Moosic, yesterday ended his life by
drinking carbolic acid.
He lived over a vacant store on Main
street, near the Delaware and Hudson
station with his twelve-year-old son,
Frand, and an Hungarian laborer. For
six months past he had been drinking
heavily.
Light was SO years Of age and a
laborer by occupation. His wife Sc
cured a divorce from him about six
years ago and shortly afterwards went
away with a travelling doctor. Light
has been more or less dissipated ever
since.
Coroner Saltry performed an autop-
sy yesterday afternoon and found that
death was caused by carbolic acid pois-
oning. An inquest was deemed unnec-
eSSary.

THREE HOUSES
WERE Entered
BURGLARS AT WORK IN THE
PETERSBURG SECTION.
Early Yesterday Morning They
Broke Into the Residences Of G. r.
zimmerman, Edward zimmerman
and Michael Nageli, but Took
Nothing Of Great value--Entrance
Effected by Forcing Windows.
Police Declare That They Are
"Hobo" Burglars.

A burglar or a gang of burglars, pre-
sumably the latter, visited the Peters
burg section OF the city early yester-
day morning and entered three resi-
dences, besides breaking into two 9TH
ers. Nothing Of any very great value
was taken, and the police believe they
can locate the guilty persons
The men who did the job were un-
doubtedly experienced hands. but the
police believe them to be what are
known as hobo burglars" as distin-
guished from the real out and out A
No. l professionals. The homes en-
tered were in every instance those OF
well-to-do but not wealthy people. The
police argue that If the burglars had
been high class men they would have
gone a little bit farther down the hill
and made an effort to enter some Of
the homes Of the wealthier class. They
believe them to be the same gang which
entered several homes in Minooka last
Saturday morning.
In every instance entrance was ef-
fected in similar manner, namely
by forcing the window fastening with
piece Of wire or metal. The method
adopted is brand new one, the police
say.
The home of G. r. zimmerman, of
1913 Gibson street, was entered by
means of the window leading into the
parlor from the front porch. The low
er floor was thoroughly ransacked, but
nothing Of any great value was taken.
The articles missed were silver sugar
spoon and a silver souvenir spoon, a
gold pen and penhoder and silver
pickle fork.
The home of Edward zimmerman, a
relative of the first mentioned, at 90S
Webster avenue, was entered by a rear
window. The burglars confined their
attentions to the ground floor in this
instance also and succeeded in getting
away with gold breast pin. pair of
gold spectacles and a pocket book con-
tanning about So. The family were
aroused at about $50 o'clock in the
morning by a noise downstairs, and
one of the members. who came down to
investigate, found the place in a ter
rible state Of disorder with the back
window open. This fixes the time Of
the burglaries at between 2 and 4
O'Clock during which period all the
electric street lights in the neighbor-
hood were out, giving the marauders a
splendid opportunity to carry on their
work nnobserved.
Some So in money a ladies' silver
watch chain and half dozen of pocket
handkerchiefs We're taken from the
home of Michael Nageli, of 921 Webster
avenue, which was entered through a
rear window. A window in the bar
ber shop of Louis Rinsland nearly was
forced open. but there was no evidence
to show that 1t had been entered. A
window in William Ruch's home on
the same street was found open, but
nothing inside was disturbed.

THE COMING CONCERT.
Three Great Artists Are to Appear
Here April 8.

Lillian Biauvelt made visit to this
city once before, and music-loving peo-
Pile will recall the furore which this
beautiful young woman with the lovely
voice created at that time. 1t will be
great pleasure to welcome her again,
when she comes for the Home for the
Friendless benefit on April 8. Few such
combinations of talent have ever APP
peared in Scranton as Fritz Kressler,
Ben Davies and Lillian Blauvelt
The Home for the Friendless is badly
in need OF funds. 1t will be remembered
that no entertainment has been given
for it's benefit for more than year, and
that the usual excursion was omitted
last season.

POOR BOARD REORGANIZATION.
President Judge Edwards May Make
Appointments Today.

President Judge H. NJ. Edwards will

to fill vacancies resulting from the ex-
piration Of the terms of DR.. w. E.
Paine, of Hyde Park: Frank Dickert,
of the South Side. and Frederick Fuller.
of the middle ward of OLD Scranton
borough.
Ex-School Controller James A. Evans,
who was elected director at the last

succeed DR.. Paine. 1t is likely that
Messrs. Dickert and Fuller will be
named to succeed themselves.
The four Democrats who We're elect
ed at the last election have declared
that they win demand seats, and in
consequence lively time may ensue
when the board comes to reorganize
