There was one young man who awoke
last Baturday morning with a throbbing
brow and a reproving conscience. He
came to town from up the river to attend
Gorton's minstrel show, but owing to the
fact that ho devoted too much tlmo to un
packing glass before tho performance be
gan, be entered tho opera house with his
interior overcrowded with tbo liquid that
Inebriates. He became too talkative and
somewhat boisterous, and after being noti
fied several times by Policeman Knorr that
he must keep quiet and paying no atten
tion to tho gentlemanly admonition, he was
very properly and without any unnecessary
ceremony, ''bounced" from the hall. He
thought he was having lots of fun, but
when he came to think of it next morning
when hid bat was too small for bis bead,
wo doubt very much whether he thought
it was so very funny after all. The moral
is that the Bloomsburg Opera House is no
place for drunken men, and they may as
well take notice that If they come In and
do not behave themselves, they will be put
out.
Division of Licence Money.
There were sixty.five applications for
liquor license filed in this county. Of
these, 37 were for taverns, 1C for restaur
ants, S for wholesale stores, 6 for distiller

The Bennett and Moulton Comic Opera
Company opened Uiclr engagement at the
Opera House Monday evening with "Mas
cot" and played successively on Tuesday
evening, Wednesday afternoon and
Wednesday evening, "Olivette," "Pinafore"
and "Chimes of Normandy". That tho
people of this placo were well pleased with
tho company was shown by the good-sized
audiences that greeted them at every per
formancc. All tho comments we have
heard havo been favorable. Miss Siegfried
is a good actress an 1 has a sweet voice, and
the remainder of the company aro well up
In their parts. Tho two comedians, Slat-
tery and Clayton aro very good. On Mon-
day night in tho "Mascot" they kept tho
house in a continual roar whenever tiny
were on tho stage. In "Olivette" as
'Coquellcot" Mr. Slattery sang "Bob
up Serenely," bringing in somo local
bits that brought down tho house. Tho
matinee, Wcdnes lay afternoon at which
Pinafore," was played, was attend.
cd by a larpe number of school
children; this opera, though It has been sung
so murh, is still well worth hearing. The
company closed their engagement hero with
the "Chimes of Normandy," Wednesday
evening, which was given in excellent stylo
There was an unusually large audience
present. Miss Siegfried was at her best.
and sang very prettily, and tho music of
this pretty opera was well rendered by
the entire company. Mr. Clayton, as Gas-
pard, the miser, and Mr. Slattery, as tho
Bailll, wero both good. Slg. Cluzettl, the
tenor, labored under a disadvantage as he
was suffering with a severe cold, and bis
singing could not be judged by bis work
hero ; Miss Etta Reed took tho part ot Ger
maine very nicely and Frank Wooley sang
well as Henri. The company will probably
play here again next season, and will with
out doubt be greeted by crowded houses.

They grow in popularity ; we
therefore control exclusively
many of the best designs.
Early selections of Indias and
Pongees can be wisely made be

quick at more.
New 32-inch Dress Ging
hams. A big batch of them.
More than a hundred styles and
an art-thought in every one.
Look sharp or you'll -take them
for Andersons'. Wonderfully
close to the canny Scotsmen's
best work. Such spinning, such
weaving, such coloring as -you
look for nowhere else in Ging
hams. small plaids orerplalds
large plaids stripes
broken plaids checks

Everv pretty shape that Ging
hams were ever made to take,
and dozens that were never
seen before this year.

Andersons' Ginghams at your
elbow, 40 cents.
Peerless Sateens, 12? cents.
Only a quick glance as they flit

No matter, we won't wait for it.
We makefile prices on these
cold-weather things as little as
