mrjs HSPOJBLICi^ LAPORTE. PA., AL'GI'BT 28th„ 1891. LOCALDEPART.VIENT Josh lias l (, bL Ins grii>. It, mined all day Sunday. The railroad is progressing, Politics will soon be all the go. Political conventions are an every day occurrence. With this rainy weather, the j»ota to crop, is most apt. to rot. Tuesday was a beautiful day, and the democrats appreciated it. The band stand is to be painted, as will be seen in the 'council pro ceedings. The democratic delegate election held on Saturday last, was a very tame affair. New sweet potatoes, oranges, lemons and banannas etc., at Airs. Lauer's store. The W. 0. T. U. will meet at the home of Mrs. J. L. Smyth 1* riday Aug. 28, at 3 p. m. Mrs. M. F. Albert and son Master Lester of LaPortc, are- visiting friends at Newport, Pa The Y. W.'O. T. U. will meet at the home of Mrs. T. J. Keeler, Fri day evening Aug. 28. Editor Streby of the Gazette, fr rived on time, Tuesday, and took notes of the convention. What about the sluiceway on Main St. Will the requirements of the town council be adheard to ? Mr. nnd Mrs. F. A. Culiu and daughter Miss Ella L. Oulin, are the latest arrivals at the Mountain House. An unknown quantity in the democratic convention—Chris Case, man for Jury Commissioner. And he got there just the same. Gregff and Morrison will win by fifty thousand majority. They are old soldiers and will take the sol dier vote almost to a man. Miss Francis Boice of Philadel phia, came up Saturday evening and will spend the remainder of the summer with friends at La i 'orte. Ellis Swank of Muncy Valley, came up to see how it was done, on Tuesday. The out come of the con vention was satisfactory to Ellis. T. J. Keeler of LaPorte, left for Harris burg on Tuesday, where he attended the State Prohi. Conven tion, as a delegate, of Sullivan, on Wednesday. M. J. Lull of Bernice, was for Stackhouse for Associate Judge- M J. Phillips got the delegates of Bernice. Not a very biir send oil for Josh's popularity at home. It. would appear that Jo*h was'nt "in it." The State Prohi. Convention con vened in llarrisburg, on Wednes day. They no doubt put a ticket in the field. Atty. Ames of "Williamsport, was talked of for auditor general. J. A. Jordan the La Porte hanker, has purchased a number of acres of land opposite the Clark farm, along the Eagles Mere road, and is clean ing off the same. Mr. Jordan is numbered among our most indus trious citizens. If our associate judges must be from the democratic ranks, we know of no better material than John Yonkin 2nd and M. J. Phillips however, it is more than probable that there will be a divide. The Republicans one, and the Democrats one. How would that suit you ? The Democratic State Convention which will convene in Harrisburg on the 3d of September will probab ly nominate the following ticket : A. L. Tilden of Erie county,auditor general and Chas. W. Raymond of 'iin county, state treasurer, s boss Harrity's choice and of the others have nothing to out it. Harrity is boss iui nia Democratic circle, he general opinion that the Gazette owes his nto Newell. They claim svhat the latter said in his ■ntly, regarding the uomi boomed Streby. You i find the people on the de of that taken by the V pointer to candidates refereuce—paste a great lasterover Newell'a mouth convention. Subscirbe for the REPUBLICAN. Sheriff TTttt of Pusbore came over to La Porte Monday afternoon, and on Tuesday, made a business trip to Jamison. The .sheriff enjoys a game of eucher just about as well as any of the boys—'■tliev say that Atty. Dunham is too much for him, how ever. We endeavored to give the result of the Republican State Convention last week, but the telephone was out of gear or something was wrong with those in charge along the line ot the W. & N. P., hence we were unable to get it. Such work is enough to make a preacher sa} r cuss words, but we did'nt. NOTICE. Rev. J. F. Glass has kindly con sented to give a talk with illustra tions to the Loyal Temperance Legion of LaPorte. Parents, children and all interested are in ' vited to meet with the Legion at the M E. church, Saturday Aug. 2!>, at 3 p. m. HARRIET E. GRIMM, Sup't. Fairview Cottage is still a favo. rite summer rendezvous for those who wish to have a pleasant time, and have the wants of the inner man well cared for. This week its hospitable doors have been opened LO receive guests from the OKI Dominion. Mrs. 11. Phoebus and her three daugLters have come from Old Point Comfort, Ya., to verify for themselves the reports which reached their ears, of the invigorat ing mountain air and quiet restful ness of the old town of LaPorte. E T. Brown of Elklancl, who was sentenced to six months in the coun ty jail at last Feb. term of court, served his sentence on Tuesday last. The county commissioners took his note for the amount of cost amounting to SS7. and gave him his liberty on the above mentioned date. Brown took D private conveyance to Columbia county where he will re main a few weeks. The county commissioners have been spoken to by several individu als about prisoners confined in our county jail. Some of our tax pay ers an; laboring under the idea iliat, the board of commissioners have 1 jurisdiction over convicts. This is not correct. The duties of a board of commissioners are to look after the county's property. They are supposed to keep the prison in good repair and should they neglect this and a convict escape, they usually oiler a reward. Prisoners during a trial in court and forever afterwards until sentence is complied with, arc under the care of the Sheritf cf the county. James McFarlane & Co. will re sume work at the Thornedale tan nery immediately on tile completion of the L. Y. railroad to said place. We understand that repairs are now being made on the tannery building and when completed will be a noticeable improvement upon the structure. With this enterprise in operation—will increase business to a considerable extent about the county seat. It is estimated that the railroad is finished to within two miles of the tannery and that by the Ist of Nov. bark can be shipped on the cars to the manufacturing in dustry. The following party of young people of LaPorte took part in a progressive game of eucher at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. M. Stor mont on Wednesday evening of last week, viz : Mrs. Distlehurst, Miss Elizabeth Eaton, Miss Carrol, Miss Maude Eaton, Miss Alma Lauer, Miss Ettie L:uier, Mr. F. H.lngham, Mr. W. L. Stormont, Mr. B. F. Crossley, Mr. ( has. Lauer, Mr. Harry Karns, Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Karns, Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Cheney and Mr. 11. M. Stormont, Mrs. Stormont looked after the bell and the winners and the loosers of the games. The first prize was won by the editor—he received a clean score, 11 pirks and no blacks. Mis. S. B. Karns took the first ladies prize by a score of 8 pinks and 3 blacks. The booby prizes were presented, Mr. W. L. Stormont and Mrs. Distlehurst. After the games were finished refreshments were served and all present had a very enjoyable evening. Church Entertainment. The entertainment for the benefit of the Lal'orte Presbyterian church in the Opera House on Friday even ing last was a grand success in every detail. At 7:30 the LaPorte band met at the v Hall and discoursed music, which, (without flattering ourselves) had a tendency of calling the people together and at 7:40 p. m.the large and spacious room of tlio hall was crowded to its utmost capacity. The entertainment was billed to commence at 8 o'clock, hence when the time arrived the small boys anxious for the curtain togo up, applauded so loudly that one would have thought the name of JAMES G. BR.AINF, had been announced in the gathering. This racket, however, had the desired effect and at 8:10 the bell rang and the curtain went up when the Rev. J. J. Thomson clergyman of the Presbyterian church announced that the evening's entertainment would open with a Piano Duet by the Misses Davis. The music rendered by these young ladies was excellent. The Miss Bessie graduated in the conservatory of music of Philadel phia when she was but seventeen years of age and now holds the posi tion of instructor in said institution. Our readers can imagine that with this position her superiors are few Second on the program was a tableau. '•Cinderella," which was applauded repetcdly by the audience. Then aaine a recitation and chorus, "Rain bow." This was by home talent and was executed by children aged from 4to 10 years. Each individu al was entwined with many colors of ribbon and each recited what their colors represented. They did their parts • well. Master Robert Mason aged 4 years, was the only boy in the play and it is only fair to say that Robbie did more than justice to his sex. The song and chorus, "Where are the Old Folks," was slightly sentimental and was very much enjoyed by the interesting spectators. The tableau, "Gossips," represented a tea party of old ladies. Our readers can imagine the rest. There was a "MullI—" with a gossip. A recitation was next on the pro gram by Miss Boice of Philadelphia. Miss B. was expected .Thursday, but unfortunately was detained. Her part was very nicely recited by Miss Cornell, also, of Philadelphia. Miss Cornell is an experienced elocution ist and is remarkably good in her profession. She was encored and presented with a beautiful bouquet. No. 9, song—•'Reuben and Rachel," sung by Master Ernest Laucr of LaPorte and Miss J'lay Funston of ShaiuoKin, was enjoyed by the en tire gathering, and by request was repeated. Ernest did his part well, and is a very serious young man. lie calls our attention to a funeral prossession ; no smiles on Ernest's face. Miss May lias a line voice. The song seems to be a favorite of our people; that they may learn the words we give it below : SONG. RACHEI,. 1.

As I thought ol course you'd see. REUBEN. 4« Rachel, I will not transport you, But will take you for a wi.e. We will live on "milk and honey," Better or worse, we're in for life. Tableau "Pocahontas," this was an Indian scene with the original John Smyth about to be slain. Pocahontas saved his life, however. No. 14 on the program, was a piano solo by Master Roy Latier aged 11 years and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lauer of Rochester, N. V. Roy is a natural musician and on his arrival at LaPorte took an in strument in the band and played his part equally as well as old mem. bers. "Raise Me Jesus," Quartette came next and the chorus consisted ot home talent. Mrs. M. F. Albert took a very prominent part in the quartette and certainly has a very tine voice. Tableau, "Scenes from Ivanlfbe," a box of jewels took a prominent part in this play and of course was interesting. At this juncture Judge Ingham by request took possession of the stage and thanked the audience for their kind attention. The Judge also, put this motion before the house, "that we extend our very grateful thanks to the sojourners of our town, who took so much interest for the suc cess o:' the entertainment'" It is useless to spy that the motion was carried unanimously. The Judge is a fluent talker and on su;h occasions, is very thought ful of where courtesies are invited. The entertainment concluded with—chorus, "Slumber song," after which, all partook of ice cream cake md talked over the evening's program. The "guess doll," con. test vas quite interesting and the Doll was won by Miss Lillian Wilson, a little girl sojourning with friends at Fairview Cottage. The contest was something like this—a doll was purchased by the committee and named. The guesser of the name of the doll was the winner. Miss Wil son guessed "Isabelle" and carried i oft' the prize. She Mas very much delighted with her gift and at most an}' time of the day can be seen with beautiful Isabelle asleep on her arm. note s. FaglesMere was not represented. The gross receipts of the enter tainment, was over sixty dollars. Prof. M. F. Albert, was a faitnful worker in arranging the seats and theatre of the hall. John L. Smyth took the part of the original John Smith in ''Pocahon tas.' - John did his part well. Mr. and Mrs. Prof. D. J. Hill, were among the audience, and en joyed the eveuings program, very much. Esq. Dunham and Dr. Hill did considerable whispering during the exercises, but they din'nt mean any thing. Miss Laura Boice taught the children their part in "Rainbow," which was rendered so nicely. Miss Boice is entitled to much praise. John Smyth nearly crowded the Editor off his seat. John got frightened for fear he would'nt be on hand when Pocahontas appeared. Mrs. A. F. Meylert was an in teresting worker for the success of , the entertainment, and pictured out many valuable points that would have been overlooked, had it not been for her presence. The cit}' guests rusticating at La- Porte, attended to u person, and donated liberally to the success of the entertainment. In this respect the city guests of LaPorte differ very much from those at the 'Mere. Mr. and Mrs. Faries summer guests of the Mountain House, were very much interested in the enter tainment and did much for its suc cess. Mr. Faries proposed the 'Guess Doll' contest, which proved a success. The theatre was very nicely ar ranged. Brussel carpet covered the floor and the scenes were most charming. Attire place arranged with an oil stove at the rear of the platform, was quite a conundrum for the on-lookers to solve. The curtain unrolled and rolled the stars and stripes and was made of the Cleveland flag. The democrats are a generous lot of people, anyhow.
