Nor A DecipED HiIT.—The production
of *“The Strollers,’”’ at Garman’s, Monday
night, was not up to the expectation of
those who bad seen the Nixon and Zim-
merman Co. in ‘“Miss Bob White’’ last
season. While there is far more opportun-
ity for comedy in ‘‘The Strollers’ and
the music, interpolated, was better the
roster of the company was not strong
enough to lift is above or even up to the
success made by Dorothy Hunting, Frank
Deshon and the other principals who were
with the ‘‘Bob White Co.”’
Dwight Allen as ‘‘Kamderl Robert
Lett’s ‘August Lump,”’ and Joe Marba’s
‘Prince De Bumsky’' were all cleverly
done but the ladies of the company were
scarcely mediocre. Gene Luneska as
‘‘Bertha, ’’seemed to be the only one with
a voice and while she did sing beantifully
she failed to get much out of her acting
part.. Mr. George Lydecker’s indifferent
‘‘Roland’’ might bave been attributed to
the failure of his sweetheart ‘‘Anna’’
to either sing or act her pars, but that
didn’t excuse him from losing the oppor-
tanity of making the hit of the evening
with ‘“Good-Bye, Little Girl Good Bye.”
The really good numbers were Miss
Luneska’s ‘Lolita’ and her song with
the male chorus, the drinking song in
which one of the chorus men displayed a
voice and won applause thas, possibly,
made Mr. Lydecker a trifle envious,
Dwight Allan's ‘‘Pants’’ and the parody
and dance by Mr. Lett and little Opal Ross.
The opera, as a whole, was quite enter-
taining, but we would remind Messrs.
Nixon and Zimmerman that their reputa-
tion as impressarios should not be allowed
to suffer for the want of a few clever wom-
en in their road companies. Bellefonters
feel grateful to them for undertaking to
give us something above the average of
one-night stand companies, as the business
of Monday night will attest, and while we
don’t expect to see as much here at $1.50
peras we would at the South Broad or
Chestnut St. houses we do hope for better
people than several of the leads in ‘‘The
Strollers.”

A large number of postmaster Krape’s
friends, regardless of politics, have repeated-
ly urged him to draw .up a petition, and
have it signed by parties residing in this
community for his retention as postmaster at
Spring Mills, they feeling perfectly satisfied
that he is entitled and deserving of it, ow-
ing to the very active part and the valuable
assistance he rendered the Department when
the R. F. D. system was first established in
this section. Mr. Krape finally concluded
to act on their suggestion, and the petition
is now in the office. The fact is Mr. Krape
has proven such an efficient, reliable and
obliging postmaster, ready at all times to
impart any information connected with the
mails or business of the office, and has won
‘‘golden opinions from all sorts of people,”
that really, no one wants nor wishes to see
him retired from the office.
0. T. Corman, one of our merchants, while
hunting along the base of Brush mountain,
on Friday last, met with a very unfortun-
ate and serious accident. In stepping down
from a stump, he rested his hand over the
muzzle of the gun, and the hammer coming
in contact with some brush, or most likely
the stump, immediately discharged, the load
passing diagonally through his hand and
wrist, splintering and tearing both in a fear-
ful manner. On his arrival home Dr.
Braucht, was summoned, who saw at once
that amputation would be necessary. How-
ever, the doctor telephoned a call to Dr.
Musser, at Aaronsburg, for a consultation.
When that physician arrived they beth made
a thorough examination, and soon discover-
ed that nothing of the injured hand could be
saved and that amputation was necessary.
The operation was performed the same even-
ing. Mr. Corman is doing as well as can be
ex pected.
A Wail from the Solitades. Saved Once
More.
Hugh! Whew! Ah-h! Well, here we
are again; saved once more. Thank good-
ness. Yes, after all the excitement, rush,
whirr, spell-binding and cheering, we find
ourselves once more with heads up and feet
planted firmly on the ground. Once more
our great country has succeeded in being
saved without any apparent injury resulting
from the operation. It isa source of great
relief—the fact that she has fortunately been
saved without being severely damaged in the
effort.
Long ago, in my younger days, it had been
my ambition to save my conuntry. In fact, I
was at times very much afraid she would not
get near enough to the point of being lost to
make it worth while saving her. When lo,
and behold! the cry was raised that the
country was on the verge of being lost, and
that she must be saved at any cost. And
patriots from everywhere came rushing to
the rescue. Each having a plan of his own
for saving the country so thoroughly that
she could not by any means be lost again.
When I saw this I paused to reflect which of
the many plans would be the best, and
whether it would be safe to adopt any one of
them without first securing the patent right.
But how America is able to stand her
regular dose of salvation every four years is
a source of wonder to me. Yet when I see
her gazing time after time at her horde of
heroic, self-sacrificing rescuers, each trying
to outdo the others in performing this gal-
lant deed at so much per; Isay when I see
her gazing at all this with the same placid
expression of countenance, I think she has
become resigned to her fate, (that of being
rescued every four years) or, perhaps she
has acquired the salvation habit like some
people, and as others acquire the marrying
habit, others the smoking habit, etc.
Though hardened to the experience as she
is, I cannot help thinking that she must
realize that it is becoming monotonous.
