Mr. Surette's lectures are designed to interest and instruct the same audi ences which listen to lectures on other subjects, and are by no means for musical people alone. The onlv re quirement necessary in listening to mem is a certain aDoreciation of beauty, such as is common to nearly an persons, and a desire to get in touch with the thoughts ot great men. The subjects are treated simply and clearly, and there have been repeated assurances that the lectures are under stood by persons who possess no musi cal Knowledge whatever. The greatest practical benefit of the lectures lies not so much in their historical quali ties as in the help they afford the lis tener in appreciating and understand ing the best music they teach them now 10 listen. The different compositions nlaved or sung in connection with each lec ture are nrst given in detail, the lec turer showing how the musical ideas are arranged in relation to each other, what their characteristic qualities are and how they reflect the composers personality and the general thought of the time. Everything is explained clearly and without the use ot techni cal terms, and experience has shown that great music, presented to an audience in this manner, never fails to interest and delmht. The musical selections cover a wide range and in clude many ot the most popular prices of the different composers represented. ine stereopticon illustrations which are shown at the close of the lectuie consist of portraits of the creat com. - o posers, and of scenes connected with tneir lives, as well as of reproductions of letters, musical scores, cuts of old instruments, paintings, etc., by which the comparisons drawn between the different Arts are enforced. The price of tickets for the entire course will be $1.25, and can be had at S. R. Bidleman's Book Store, or the Normal School office. Admission to a single lecture, 25 cents.

BLOOMSBUKG, PA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, Confirms the Eeport. The report of the suicide of Mar vin R. McHenry, son of Ira Mc Henry of Benton, is confirmed by the following taken trom the Bi-monthly Freedom of August 15, published at Manilla. 'Private McHenry of Co. II 14th United States Infantry committed sui cide at the Malate barracks. The company was out answering retreat and as the bugle sounded "off'" the report of a rifle in the quarters indicated that something was wrong. There were two or three guirds in the quarters who had just come off their relief to mess. They rushed to the bunk, where the report was heard and found McHenry lying in a pool of blood on his bunk with the right side of his head blown off. He died in a few minutes after the shot. McHenry was a recruit who came here on the Sheridan and had recent ly been assigned to the company. Since arriving here he has been quite despondent and seemed to be suffer ing from homesickness. On Wednes day he spoke of not feeling well and had retiied after dinner to sleep. He cautioned some of the boys to call him for supper. When the boys went out to answer roll call, he went delib erately to work to end his life. He took off his shoes before lying down and then applied the muzzle of the Krag to his right temple. It is not known whether he pulled the trigger with his toe or his hand, as the con cussion had thrown the gun down on the floor beside the bunk. During the day he wrote ten letters addressed to friends at home and it is thought he was meditating on his deed for some time. Shortly before enlist ing his wife and baby died, and this preyed upon his mind, as he felt their loss keenly. He was twenty-five years of age. He was highly respected by his com rades and his tragic death has cast a gloom over the Company." STBAT PARAGRAPHS. Memory is not so brilliant as hope, but it is more beautiful, and a thousand times as true. It is more respectable to black boots than to black character to sew shirts than to sow strife. A young lady in Pittsburg discard ed her lover for his small size. In his resentment he burned her father's barn. "Lo! what a big fire a little spark kindleth!" A certain acquaintance of ours says, "impudence is a high quality, that deserves great commendation." He does well in praising the bridge that carries him over safe. The announcement of the marriage at Auburn, N. Y., of Mr. Edward Straw to Miss Eva Smiley, suggests the probability that he tickled her with a proposal and she laughed a consent. A letter, describing the personal appearance of one Pike, a clever mig ratory editor, speaks of him as being entirely bald. We didn't suppose there was much of a growth upon Pike's Peak. A certain friend was recently presented with a new pair of boots, which he says are "admirably adapted to kicking." Another person we know, a few days before, received a fine pair of boots, perhaps not quite new, but equally adapted to the same use. The gentleman who presented the latter pair did not see fit to take them off during the interesting ceremony of presentation. Rush Qirton. James Rush, arc light trimm er for the Electric Light Company, and Miss Lizzie Girton were quietly mar ried at the Baptist parsonage, on First street, by the pastor, Rev. Smith, yesterday forenoon. They took the 12:22 train on the D. L. & W. Railroad for Jerseyshore, where they will spend a month with Mr. Rush's relatives. Upon their return they will go to housekeeping on Cath arine street, this town. To give an idea of the immense business done through the sale of oleomargarine 111 Pennsylvania, it is only necessary to state that the Pure Food Department reports nearly $30,000 as having been turned over into the Commonwealth's treasury iiom the sale of licenses to sell the imitation of real butter. To Exhibitors at tbe Fair- Kntrtes for articles for exhibition close Tuesday at 6 o'clock p. m. Inhibitors are requested to make their entries early and thereby avoid the rush on the last few days. 2 The Columbian ! PUZZLES. G. Edward Klwell, Manager. . D. J. Taskf.r, Asst. Manager.

BIO FIRE AT BERWICK. The Store Company Building Reduced to Ashes. Berwick was visited by a very destructive fire about half past six o'clock Sunday morning, which wiped out the large Store Company building and the general offices of the American Car and Foundry Company. It was started, it is sup posed, from the explosion of some chemicals in the cellar. Immediately after its discovery several persons rushed into the burning structure, and succeeded in saving all the valuable documents belonging to the American Car and Foundry Company. The loss will be heavy, but it is fully covered by insurance. The proprietors of the store have secured quarters in the Opera House block and are conducting business at that place.

An opinion was handed down by Judge Ilalsey Thursday in the mat ter of the acquisition by the coun ties of Columbia and Luzerne ot the toll bridge between Nescopeck and Berwick. The viewers of the bridge reported favorably on the project, and those who were op posed petitioned for the privilege of filing exceptions to the report of the viewers. In. his opinion Judge Ilalsey denied the request of the petitioners, on the ground that the Act of 1899 does not authorize the filing of exceptions at this stage of tne proceedings.
