Garman’s, - Tnesday evening, was one of the strongest ever seen at that play-honse and the force they put into Hope’s beautiful romance made the large audience forget all about the dingy old scenery or the noisy gallery. In trath the gallery was us much interested as any other part of the house,despite the fact that there wasn’t a song or dance ora ‘‘bumn’’or “‘nigger’’ in the show. In the dual role of Rudolph V. and Rudolph Rassendyl Edwin Mordant was superb. In physique, style and acting be was all that Hope could have idealized in his adventurous yonug Eng- lishman, while. ‘Old Sapt’’ might ‘have stepped right out of the pages of the bouk itself, so well did John W. Rose interpret the part. As Madam de Mauban ‘Miss Florence Gelbart was extremely strong and divided honors very evenly with the star, Mies Ola Humphrey. Roberto Deshon, in the role of Rupert of Hentzau, was fully up to the strong caste with which he acted and Carroll Daly, as Black Michael, was all that vicious intriguer could have been.

Thomp- ‘sou, and D. Orr Hileman Shaffer, of Al- toona, which wae celebrated at the home of the bride’s parents in Lemont on Wednes- day at noon attracted more than usnal in- terest, although it was designed to bea small, quiet affair. The invitations were limited to the relationship and the more in- timate friends but the prominence of the Thompson family and its wide kinship, as well as the attractive personality of the bride, made it an event of importance. Five members of she clarinet club of State College played the wedding march and in the reception rooms a screen of palms and tropical plants made an artistic back ground for the bridal party. The decoratiors in the dining room and library were of ground pine and asters. Rev. D. E. Hepler of the Lemont Presbyterian church pronounced the ceremony and Misses Helen and Bess Thompson were the maids of honor. They wore white nain- sook and carried great bunches of pink car- nations. In the processional the bride ac- companied the groom. Her gown was of white Paris Muslin over taffeta, stylishly made and trimmed with many lace medal- lions. She carried a bouquet of bride's roses. More than seventy guests sat down toa delicious breakfast which was served direct- ly after the ceremony. At the bridal table quaint old china was used which had de- scended to the family from the bride’s great grand mother, Mrs. Ann Watson Irvin, wife of John Irvin, of Harris townsbip. The bride and groom departed on the after- noon train for New York, the trip up the Hudson, Niagara Falls, and Cleveland. They will make their home in Altoona, where there apartments are already fur- nished and where they will beard at the Logan house. Dr. Thompson possesses that rare affahili. ty which has characterized her family for generations and is moreover cultured and clever. She was educated at Birmingham seminary and is a graduate of the Woman’s Medical college of Philadelphia. She has been more than ordinarily successful in her practice in Altoona, where she opened an office soon after graduating and will now work jointly with her husband. Dr. Shaffer is regarded as one of the best physi- cians in Altoona where he is well establish- ed in his profession. —— Se RECORD BREAKING BEES.—Some time ago we published an account of the remark- able performance of a few swarms of bees, owned by train-master Emanuel Noll, of this place, in making a great quantity of houey in a very short period of time. That these same bees are record breakers in other ways needs but this story of their final summer work to prove. Mr. Noll kept four swarms over winter. Three of the ordinary black variety and one of Ital- iati bees. Froin the fotir He has tdkei five hundred and seven sections of honey. On the 20th of May the latter swarm put out another and on the 31st, just eleven days later, i5 put out still another awarm. This latest swarm made one hundred and thirteen sections of honey during the season and the first of the new swarms put out two \irgin swarms that made one hundred and twenty-five sections of honey. Now if their is any apiarist in the country who can beat this Mr. Noll would like to hear from him, though he arrogates no superior knowledge of the husiness to himself and only keeps bees because of the interest he finds in watching their habits. ee. A NEW ORATORIO.—Not content with being the author of a score or two of song foiios and many choir anthems, Alred Beir- ly, the widely known composer and music dealer, of Chicago, and who is originally from this county, has just launched out in- to the latitude of the great masters by pub- lishing “Emmanuel,’’ an oratorio. It is quite effective and dramatic and is much more difficult than any of his earlier com- positions. A number of the best musicians of the country are commending it highly and it promises to be a favorite with the pub- lic, as it is with choral societies and choirs. BURGLARS AGAIN AT PORT MATILDA. —At 12 o'clock midnight Sept. 24th, burglars made a raid on A. W. Reese’s store at Port Matilda. They were forcing their way through the end of the ware room and had one plank about forced off when Mr. Reese's son Clifton, a young man about 17 years old, heard them at their work. Hastily dressing himself he took a gun and went out on the roof of a low building adjoining the house, it being ‘soe dark he could see nothing but knowing the lay of the land well he fired his gun. In the morning it was seen that he just missed his man by afew iuches. The would be burglar beat a hasty retreat, hav- ing about as close a call as he need want. Several other attempts at burglary have beeu made in the same place recently. - *0e DEDICATION POSTPONED. —The dedica- tion of the new church at Hannah Furnace, which was to have taken place on the 12th, has been postponed until Sunday, October 19th.
