ber of St. Paul's church. The funeral
was held at the house on Sunday after

Paul E. Wirt, who has so frequently
demonstrated with cash his interest in
all that pertains to the business welfare
of Bloomsburg, has just recently in
vested $5,200 in real estate on the

Mr. P. II. Freeze, who has in his

the streaks of lean and fat so marked
in color and appeal ance as to excite
some wonder about its actual composi
tion or manner of formation.

THE ORCHESTRAL O0N0ERT.
On Wednesday evening of last week
Mwell s Orchestra gave its annual con
cert in the Opera House. The rrem
bers of the orchestra are Chas. P. El
well, director, violin ; C. Max Stauffer.
J. P. Casey, Alex. E. Cohen, violins
E. M. Holmes, violin ; Miss Maude
Runyon, piano; W. Metherell, bass
viol ; F. E. Miller, flute and piccolo
Morton Stevens, H. G. Eshleman
clarinets; E. F. Searle, L. E. McHen
ry, cornets; W. E. Knorr, trombone,
P. F. Madden, of Bauer's orchestra,
Scranton, played the drums and traps,
jvery piece on the program was
well rendered and heartily applauded,
and numerous encore3 were respond
ed to. Ihis orchestra plais remark
ably well, notwithstanding the fact
tnat the pecuniary return to them is
very small, and hence the inducement
for frequent rehearsals is exceedingly
slight. They compare very favorably
with any professional orchestra that
has ever been heard here. The pro
gram was varied by the singing of
solos by Mrs. Melick and Mr. O. H.
Yetter, and a duet by Mrs. Mehck
and Miss Vida Miller. All of them
were called out a second time, and
the ladies were the recipients of hand
some boquets. Mr3. Melick retains
all her sweetness of voice, and sings
as well as when she used to be heard
here in public more frequently. All
the vocalists sang well and pleased the
audience immensely. The descriptive
pieces by the orchestra were especially
fine and the burlesque imitation of a
village orchestra brought down the
house, and was twice encored.
The audience was small but select,
and appreciative The fact that there
were meetings at nearly all ot the
churches, and a parade on the street,
probably kept many away. The ab
sentees missed a delightful entertain
ment. It is possible that the concert
will be repeated soon, and then the
Opera House ought to be filled from
stage to door, in order that the some
what prevalent idea that nothing can
fill the hall but a Topsy, two
bloodhounds and a jackass may be
refuted.
SHARP SHOOTING.
At the shooting tournament in
Bloomsburg on Tuesday and Wednes
day the record made by the marksmen
shows pretty steady aim. The parti
cipants on Tuesday were Messrs. Ely,
Hughes, locurr., Hawk, Vandyke,
Mercer, Stroll, Hagenbuch, Bonham,
Snyder. Boone and Cooper. . These
gentlemen did some very straight
shooting, in some events covering all
possibilities. The shooting was at
targets and live birds on Wednesday.

goods are nearly all opened and placed on exkiliition. How would a fine fur or plush cape
please wife or daughter ? A set of fine dishes for son or daughter lately married ? A
dress pattern ? A pair of blankets? A chenille table cover? Silver knives, forks, spoons.
&c., books tor young or old are always appreciated. We are the only dealers m Blooms
