Tar BELLEFONTE ACADEMY MIN
STRELS — When it was announced that the
Bellefonte Academy intended putting a
minstrel show on the boards at Garman’s
opera house many people in Bellefonte ne
doubs thought it too big an undertaking.
But now that the performance is over and
they bave had an opportunity to see what
the boys can do they realize that the
Academy minstrels are not only a thing of
the past but that they will be an annual
event in the fature. That they proved the
success they were is mainly dae to the un-
tiring work of Prof. Sherwood M. Hall, who
directed the music and proved a pastmaster
in this moss difficult work. From the rise
of the curtain antil the end of the first part
there was not a break in any of the musical
selections given.
Of course every Academy student who
took part in the performance is to be com-
mended on playing their parts well and
those who deserve special mention because
of the individaal roles they assumed are
Arthor Aikens, as conversationalist, and
ead men John South, Loais Daggett, Gil-
bert Myers and George Hornbrook. Most
of their jokes were new while their singing
and dancing specialties were so well re
ceived that at each appearance they were
heartily encored. In carrying the chorus
avd rattling the bones Wynn Davis, of
Scottdale, is algo deserving of special men-
tion.
In the second part Louis Daggett, as a
mouonlogist, had no diffienlty entertaining
the audience and was called and recalled
before the curtain. Hawley, of Williams-
port, as ‘‘Bill Josh’ and his talking dog,
also proved a very amusing feature. One of
the best acts in the second part was ‘‘Pop”’
Strayer and Max Hayes, of Lock Haven,
in their acrobatic feats. Both the above
gentlemen are well known in Bellefonte
but this was the first time they ever ap-
peared before a Bellefonte audience and
the applause which greeted them in their
remarkable work was fall evidence of how
they were appreciated. Another man from
Lock Haven who received unstinted praise
when he appeared in the minstrels on
Tuesday night was Prof. Fish, of the
Normal school, in his strong arm special-
! ties,
The stage setting for the first part of the
show was as fine and ap to-date as seen at
any professional performance. F. R.
| Bussler, of the electric light company,
| masipntatal the slides which threw the
different colored lights on the stage and
did it with the knack of an old hand. Of
course, it would not do to close without
making mention of the masic furnished by
Smith's orchestra. This organization is
always up-to-date and can always be de-
pended upon to furnish music for any kind
of an entertainment,
Naturally, our readers will doubtless be
interested in knowing just whata success
the minstrels were financially, and it must
be confessed that the resnits were not up
to the expectations of those who had the
entertainment in band. But this was no
doubt principally because, through a de-
sire to give everyhody an opportunity to
see it the entertainment wasgiven three
nights. The first night the receipts were
$240, and had the minstrels ended there
the net proceeds would have been the hig
end of two hundred dollars. Bat on
Saturday night the receipts were only $43,
aud at the special performance on Tuesday
night, given at reduced prices of admis-
sion, the receipts were only $23.65. Of
course the expenses were as hig as they
were the first night and the consequence is
that the sum cleared will be practically
uil. Bat the Academy hoys have shown
the people of Bellefonte what they can
do and their annual appearance in
the fatare will be an event to look for-
ward to.

ELecTrIC LIGHT POR HOWARD —The
horongh of Howard can now boast of being
up in the fro't ranks, as it has electrio
light. The plant was completed and the
current tarned on a few days ago and now
anamber of business places and private
residences are electrically illuminated. The
plwnt is owned and operated by W. H.
Long, and is operated in connection with
his grist mill.
The project was started some time last
fall when Mr. Long submitted a proposi-
tion to the horough council to erect poles
and wires throughout the town and also
farnish them light for street purposes. The
council granted him the privilege of erect-
ing the poles and wires and the same was
done throughout most of the town so ae
to farnish service to all who desire it. Now
that the plant is in operation the borough
council will take up the question of light.
ing the streets by electricity aud it is quite
likely it will be adopted in the near fatare.
Mr. Loug has put in a complete plant
and is in shape to run it as economically as
possible. Itis run with the same power
that operates his mill, and as he bas both
steam and water power he is always oer-
tain to be able to ran his plant. Water
will be the main power used, however.

o'clock on Tuesday night an alarm of fire
startled she people of Bellefonte and the
conflagration proved to be a burning chim-
ney in the Stickler home on Bishop street.
For a few minutes it looked quite danger-
ous hut several buckets of water poured
down the chimney extingnished the flames.
The brick were #0 hot, however, that the
shingles on the roof were charred and these
were thoroughly soaked to prevent any
farther fire, Both fire companies responded
but fortunately their services were not
needed, though they put one stream on
the roof in order to put out any stray
sparks that may have alighted there.
