While Mr. Conley has not en- joyed the best of health for some time he was fecling well enough on Monday to take especial interest in everybody's com- fort and welfare, and was able to go out on the porch and pose for a family group picture. ~ Tue BosTON LYRICS.—One of the best numbers of the Star course of entertain- ments at the Y. M. C. A, was that on Monday evening by The Boston Lyrics, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. and and Mrs. Slavel R. Jordan and Miss Bes- sie Wells composed the entire company. Mr. and Mrs. Jordan are musicians of ex- ceptional ability, both vocal and instru- mental. One of their specialties was their performance on a zulu instrument somewhat resembling the xylophone. Miss Wells was the monologist of the party and her renditions were cf more than ordinary merit. She has a very pleasing voice and her powers of descrip- tion and mimicry give evidence of hav- ing been cultivated to a high degree. Mr. Jordan's free hand drawing of various scenes represented in the various pieces spoken by Miss Wells was another fea. tilire much appreciated by the good sized crowd present. —"The Runaway Banker” is one of at sort of plays to which a young fel. low can take his best girl, his sister or his mother and have no fear but that they will enjoy it throughout. The beau- tiful rural comedy drama is full of genu- ine heart interest and good wholesome comedy. There is a naturalness pervad- ing the whole performance that makes one forget that they are at a play. The stage setting and scenic effects are un- usually striking and elaborate.

He will give practical instruction on how to bal- ance and use the common feeds of Cen- tre county. The class is open to any one interested in the feeding of dairy cows. ——Had it not been for the fact that it ' was universally known that this was the week for the regular term of court, when the crowd of strangers began to gather around the court house on Monday morn- ing, one might very readily have been led to believe that it was one of the old time political conventions we used to have here years ago. About every other man you would meet would stick a card at you i and naturally proved to be a candidate for some office. Both Democrats and Re- publicans were here in plenty and they were all doing their level best to “make hay while the sun shone.” Of course, not having the advantage of the old style convention to work any wire-pulling scheme, candidates must now depend en- tirely on their own hard work and popu- larity; and that is one reason they were all here this week. —Rev. J. Allison Platts returned to Bellefonte on Monday and during that day and Tuesday got all their household goods packed and in the, car ready for shipment to Wilkinsburg.
