Scranton Oratorio Society declined
with much regret the invitation Of
President Roosevelt TO sing at his in

this account was invited to the inau-

The fact that the society is to sing
"The Messiah" on March prevents
acceptance, however, the leaders fear
ing the trip TO and from Washington
would fatigue the singers so they
could not do "The Messiah" justice.

Bank Runs.

A good many years ago in London
an, old woman fell in front of a
bank and broke her leg. A crowd
collected, and the report got about
that there was run on the bank.
In very brief space there really
was one. A disastrous run on the
Bank of England IN the time of the
pretender in the eighteenth century
was. prevented by an ingenious de-
lay. When Prince Charles was
marching on London depositors were
in a frantic hurry to draw out all
they had in the Bank of England.
Every call was met, but in sixpences
and shiliings. So long did these
coins take to count and so pro-
digious were the loads of bullion
which had to be carried that public
confidence was restored and, news
OF the retreat of the highlanders
coming 10 town, the situation was
saved.

TRIALS OF "A COMPOSER.
How lconcsvaile Got "a Hearing For
His Opera "PaaItaoei.-

~f~s@ FeStt9SSt-
"How little those who go to a
successful opera and see the smiling
composer think of the mental, if not
physical, suffering through which he
has very likely gone before arriving
at fame. For instance, Leoncavallo
and the ''Pagliacci" are taken as a
matter of course, but the recogni-
ton of the opera was obtained only
when despair was knocking at the
door of the composer.
Several years ago Signora Lison
Frandin had just made her first sue
cesses as a singer when one day a
friend came to beg her good offices
with the great Sonzogno, who is
such power In the musical world,
for an unknown genius, whose opera,
the "Pagliacci," was driving him
mad because he could not get it ac-
cepted. The friend drew touching
picture of the young man, who had
sent his opera to Ricordi, Sonzog-
NOS great rival, who had pigeon
holed it and had forgotten it, while
the young composer was eating out
his heart.
Nine. Frandin required a great
deal of persuasion, as Sonzogno was
difficult" and had just declared
that he would not even hear any
more new operas. However, she in
the end gave way, was herself won
over on hearing the music and spent
a couple of fatiguing hours in argu-
ing with Sonzogno. To get rid of
her he consented to hear the score.
The young composer came with a
timid, almost duplicating, air be-
fore the terrible and taciturn one
and was received with a GOODNESS al
most glacial.
Leoncavallo at once seated him
self at the piano, while Sonzogno
walked the floor, and those present
waited anxiously for a sign of inter
est, which they knew would be a
pause in the dreadful promenade.
The first act was passed, and still
the tramp, tramp went on, the COM
poser scarcely being able to strike
the notes In the second act the
longed for pause came, the prone
made was over, never to be resumed
where Leoncavallo is concerned.
Thus the "Pagliacci" was born, and
the composer took his first step to-
ward Roland" and Berlin. Pail
