INSTITUTE ENTERTAINMENTS —In past
years the entertainments given in the even.
ings during iustitute week have not been
as well attended by the general public as
they should bave been and this vear we
want to say that every lecture and enter-
tainment will be worth anybody's time to
go and bear. Dr. Miller's lecture on Mon®
day evening on Napoleon is pronounced to
be ‘masterly, eloquent and grand,” and
any one who fails to hear it will miss a
rare treat.
DeWitt Miller's “*Reveiries of a Bachelor’
on Tuesday cveniog is considered one of
the most humorous talks ever made from
the platform with jast enough inter-
mingling of the pathetic to make it in-
tensely interesting.
The late Sam Jones said of Capt. Jack
Crawford, the Poet Scout, who will enter-
taio the institute on Wednesday evening
with a recital of some of his own poems as
well as his experiences as a scout in the
early days of frontier life:
“Jack Crawford is all right—he shoots
straight, he is a combination circus, Wild
West show, poet and preacher. He is mostly
backbone, the rest of him is bair. Come out
and hear him. i Joo don’t think he is
worth the price te to me, and I'll write
back and tell youn you're a fool.”
And then on Thursday evening every-
body is assured of a rare musical treat in
the entertainment which will he given hy
The Pennsylvania State College Musical
Club. The Peon. State boys have always
had a reputation for their musical abilities
and this year the Clab is better than ever.
Don’t fail to hear them.
For Monday and Tuesday evenings the
price of admission will he 25 censs and re-
served seats 35 cents. For Wednesday and
Thursday evenings the prices will be 35
aud 50 cents respectively.
In addition to the abovedon’t forget Dr.
Henry Houck’s free lecture Wednesday
afternoon on his travels in the Orient.
This entertainment will be held in Petri-
kan hall and the following program will

room at the rear of the cburch, ou Lamb

as part of the new building. The work
will be begun in the near future as the
sum of $850 was pledged at the meeting
last week as the nucleus of the fand re-
quired to do the work. There is no ques-
tion but that such a building for Sunday
school purposes will be a great improve:
ment over the present Sunday school room
in the basement of the church, which is
too much underground to be either pleas
aunt or healthy.

two fellow-countrymen who will do just as
good work as be can and he wants all his
old customers to patronize the stand as

present when he returns, and it will take
