St. Matthew's Evangelical
Lutheran Chnrch, Catawissa, cele
brated its semi-centennial witn a
week of public services, culminating
in the dedication of a handsome and
costly altar in commemoration of
the event, Sunday. Rev. j. M.
Anspach, D. D., of Williamsport,
delivered the sermon in the morn
ing and Rev. John Wagner, of
Hazleton preached in the evening.
Immense audiences were present on
both occasions.
While engaged slating a house
roofatKyers Grove, 1-nday last,
the scaffolding gave way and John
Lewis was precipated to the ground
ustaining painful injuries. His
houlder was sprained, and he was
hurt internally. The house where
the misfortune occurred is construct
ed against a hill, Mr. Lewis fell on
the lower side of the building, mak-
ng the distance about twenty-five
feet. He was brought to his home
on First street this town. It will
be several days before he will be
able to resume work.
The Shamokin High School foot
ball team presented a formidable ap
pearance as they left the Exchange
Hotel for Athletic Park Saturday
afternoon, and they lully sustained
the belief. The locals put up one
of their best games, but couldn't
score. It was a very disagreeable
day to be out, a slow drizzling rain
falling throughout the entire con
test. The attendance in consequence
was small. Score 5 to o. This
closed the local season. Tomorrow,
Thursday the boys will go to Sha
mokin for a return game, after
which they will disband.
The A. and T. Biograph Co
gave an excellent moving picture
entertainment in the Academy,
Oranjreville, Saturday evening. In
clement weather had the effect of
keeoimr down the attendance, but
there was a fair sized audience pres
ent. The passion play, snowing
the birth of Christ; Christ before
Pilate and the crucifixion, was given.
These films were originally produc
ed at a cost of many thousands of
dollars, and for completeness in
every detail, are simply wonderful.
Other scenes shown were the cele
brated black diamond express; bat
tle of San Juan Hill, 6th Infantry
dislodging a Spanish, out post at
UlCauy; high driving at Coney Is
land, and many other. Another
very pleasant feature of the enter
tainment was the presentation of
several beautiful illustrated songs.
An idea ol the satisfaction given,
can be gathered from the fact that
a return engagement is ' being ar
ranged for.
The time ot year has arrived when
you will need a good light, you can
see the finest line of lamps that are
especially beautiful at Mercer's
