moans Ben Greet players will give two per-
formances in the State College anditoriom,
Saturday, February 27th, afternoon aod
evening, under the auepicies of the State
College Literary club. They will play
's **Merohaat of Venice'’ at the
matinee and ‘‘Macbeth’’ in the evening.
These are two of the moss popular of the
productions of that well known dramatist
sod are presented with the staging and
costuming of the poet's time. These are
also two of the plays required for examina-
sion for entrance in any college and will
be most helpfal to stadeuts preparing for
a college course. This will be a rare treat,
as it is seldom thasa company of this
character and ability comes 80 near to us.
The afternoon performance will begin
after the regular Bellefonte train arrives at
State College and will close in time to re-
turn on the regular train to Bellefonte.
There will be a special train in the even-
ing for those who desire to attend the even-
ing performance. It is hoped that the
players will be well patronized and that
this astemps to bring first class talent into
this neighborhood will be appreciated. The
tickets will range in price from 50 cents to
$1.50. Blocks of tickers in different seo-
tion« of the house have been left at Par-
rish’s drug store and will be on sale until
Wednesday, Febraary 24th.
Yon cannot afford to miss this treat. The
players bave performed to large and en tha-
siastio hoases at many of the most promi-
nent colleges east and west aud in a nom-
ber of the larger cities. They bave re
ceived flatteriug press notices everywhere.
The one appended will give av idea of the
recognized ability of the various players
individually and as a company. Hutchins
Hapgood, in the Chicago Evening Post,
says :
The best production of the ‘‘Mercbant of
Venice!” that I have ever seen was given
last night hy the Ben Greet players, and I
have seen Booth, Henry Irving, Ricbard
Mausficld, and Jacob Alder in the play.
There is not a single genius in the cast,
but the play is a unity. It is given prac-
tically as the author intended, so has the
ear marks of a work of art and beauty as a
whole.
The company which will he seen at
State College on February 27h will in-
clude Miss Keith Wakeman, the well
known player and for many years E.S.
Willard’s leading woman, as well as Mr.
Otis Skinner's. Many know of her beauti-
fal portrayal of ‘Portia’ and will be glad
of the opportunity of hearing her ; Mr.
Leonard Shepard, the well known English
star, who at the head of his company in
Eugland played “‘Shylook,’” ‘‘Iago,”
“Macbeth” and ‘‘Hamlet,”’ will be seen
here as Shylock. In addition Frank Mo-
Intee, Stanley Drewitt, Aogusta Trae,
Helen Drewilt, Mark Wilson and others
will fill their parte with the same wonder-
ful insight into the beauty of Shakespeare
as they bave heretofore done under the
direction of Mr. Greet himself.

THE ACADEMY MINSTRELS. — This is
the last opportanity we will have to tell
you about the Academy minstrels and what
a rare treat youn will miss if you fail to see
and hear them on Tuesday evening, Feb-
roary 23rd. For amateurs, aud the frst
time they attempted anything in that line,
the minstrel performance last year wasa
very creditable affair. Bat itis going to
be a bigger and better minstrel this year
than last. The chorus will be composed of
more than thirty voices, and the singing
will be far superior to that of last season's
chorus,
The monologues and jokes are all new
and just the kind to tickle an audience
and make you glad to be shere. The
“Booster Club from Blackville,’ which
last year made quite a hit, will bea big
feature this year ; and as it will be along
more refined lines it should prove especial
ly enjoyable. The farce with which the
minstrels will close their performance is
one continnous laugh from beginning to
end. In addition the management bavea
number of very taking specialties which
they will introduce during the evening.
Of course the stage setting as well as cos-
tumes will be saperb and the equal almost
of any professional company.
Remember if you waas to see these min-
strels, and of course youn do, you will have
to zo on Taesday evening as they will be
on the hoards for cue night only. The
prices will be the same as last year and the
proceeds will be to help clear up the debt
for ereoting the fence around the new ath-
letic grounds. This is another reason why
the efforts of the Academy students should
be encouraged with a crowded house, as all
last summer not a cent was obarged any
base ball team for the use of the grounds.
So turn out nexs Tuesday evening and help
swell the minstrels’ receipts.

——Oue of the best motion pictures that
has been shown in Bellefonte for some time
was one of the antomobile races at Savan-
nah, Ga., last November, shown at the
Scenic theatre Tuesday evening. It was
exceptionally clear and distinet and very
true to lite, as several Bellefonters were
down to see the races and they all declared
the piotare to be unusually fine. Itis be-
cause he always strives to give his patrons
the very best moving pictures obtainable
that T. Clayton Brown, the maaager, is
meeting with the success he is as the Soen-
fo. He is sparing neither money nor ef-
fort in his endeavor tosecure the latest and
most interesting subjects and the people of
Bellefonte are always sure of seeing some-
shing new when they go to see his shows.
Mrs. Florence Tullis, of Philadelphia,
tinues a favorite in singing the ill
trying in vain for two weeks to get away
trom the Sophomores for their annual ban-
quet about one-ball the Freshmen at The
Pennsylvania State College made their es-
cape in the early hours yesterday morning
aod taking a special truin in waiting at
Lemons and guarded by a squad of state
constabulary, left three hundred strong
over the Lewisburg and Tyroue railroad
for Williamsport where they bad theirjban-
ques at the Park hotel last night.
Their banquet was originally planned
for two weeks ago but the under classmen
were watched so vigilantly that all at-
tempts to get away were frustrated. Is
was finally decided to have it last night at
all hazards and the railroad company was
asked to furnish a speoisl train. They did
so aud asa means of protection to their
own property took a squad of state police
along, they oconpying oue of the six cars
making up the train.
Very early yesterday morning the Fresh-
men managed to assemble and get away
from the Sopbs but the fact was discovered
very quickly and they were pursued and
compelled to fight their way to Lemoot.
At that place a regular pitobed battle took
place and 1n the interest of restoring peace
she state constabulary took a haud. One
of the men, it is said, was so roughly
bandied that he had his nose broken, aod
it is also alleged by the students that they
lost their heads to that extent thas they
hegan shooting. Whether they shot in
earnest or with malicions intent is not
known but #o far as cau be learned nobody
was hit by any of the ballets, so that the
constabulary must either have shot in the
air or are very poor marksmen.
In the end, bowever, the Freshmen won
out and [got to Williamsport in safety,
where they no doabt enjoyed their Inyout
last evening. They will return to the ool-
lege today.

AN INTERESTING EQUITY CASE.—Testi-
mony was taken last Tharsday and Friday
in the eyuity case of Rembrandt Peale and
Thomas A. Shoemaker vs. Frank Warfield,
Johu P. Harris and the American Lime
and Stoue company, iu the court house in
this place before Judge Clinton R. Savidge,
of Northumberland county, president jadge
of the Eighth jadicial district. The plain-
tiffs were represented by attorneys John
Blanchard, of this place,and C. LaRue Muu.
son, of Williamsport, the latter taking the
place daring she hearing of ex-Judge D.
L. Krebs, of Clearfield, one of the regular
counsel. The defendants were represented |
by ex-Judge John G. Love, of this place,
W. L. Pasooe, of Tyrone, and T. C. Hip-
ple, of Look Liaven.
The oase is a very interesting one and
involves the right and title to she farms
formerly owned by John H. Herman and
W. H. Coldren, in the vicinity of Pleasant
Gap. Most of the detailed facts in the case
are generally known but in brief they are
as follows : In 1905 L. A. Schaeffer with
otters secured options on the farms of the
above two gentlemen in order to secure the
limestone on the properties. Later other
parties went after the same land and se-
cured options on the same properties with
the result that when a bonafide purchase
was desired trouble started. Mr. Sohaeffer
assigned his rights and interests in the
properties over to Messrs. Peale and Shoe-
maker and as the case now stands it is
virtually those gentlemen against the
American Lime aud Stone company, and
patarally the progress of the case is being
watched with a great deal of interest.
It required all of last Thursday and Fri-
day morning to hear the evidence in the
case after which court adjourned until such
time as it will be convenient for Judge
Savidge to coms to Bellefonte to hear argn-
ment on the same.

AgAiNsT TARGET RIFLE SHOOTERS.—
There is an ordinance in Bellefonte pro-
hibiting the discharge of any firearm within
the borough limits, and such ordinance
should be enforced so far as the indieoreet
and promiscuous shooting of target rifles by
boys and young men is concerned. A lot
of such shooting is being done in the
borough right along and it is not only an
annoying but a very dangerons practice as
well. On Monday afternoon some boys on
Cartin street were shooting a 22 calibre
target rifle and she ball crashed through
the window of the house ccoupied by Mr.
and Mrs. W. R. Gainsfort and buried itself
in the wall in the opposite side of the room.
Mrs. Gainsfors had been sitting at the win-
dow sewing aud bad goiten up not more
than a minute before the shot was fired,
thus narrowly escaping a bad injary, and
probably death, as the ball passed through
the window about where her bead woald
have been. Only a lew weeks ago a spent
ball from a target rifle struck a Cartin
street lady in the eye but fortunately did
her no material injury. Such promiscuous
shooting is certainly to be condemned and
the borough authorities should see that the
ordinance prohibiting is is enforced.
