Specialties of a pleas ing nature are introduced between the acts by different members of the company, consisting of the wonder ful Nina and Bruns, fancy paper tearers. illustrated songs and mov ing pictures. The company opened their .engagement with "The Out law of '9S." This piece had been given here so many times betore under different titles, that it lacked interest. However, the perform ance on the whole, was a pleasing one. The electric dance by Miss Nina was well executed and called forth considerable applause. The plays and specialties will be chang ed nightly. Abner Welsh, au employee of the American Car and Foundry Comoanv. Berwick, was ouite se verely burned, by the explosion of - a a gasoline lamp on aaiuroay. a. quantity of the flaming fluid was hurled against his face with dis astrous effect. Medical attention was given him by Dr. Davis. "Close the door" signs have made their appearance with the colder weather. In their haste, many people have one very bad habit, that of not stopping to see that the door is securely closed. One is sitting in a warm atmosphere and in comes a iriend from the out side. On his way he leaves the door open and the warm atmosphere is at once chilled. Nature rebels, but the harm is done. It is one of the little details that all will do well to remember.

An entertainment that never disap points, always presents something en tirely new, and fascinates from start to finish is one tnat holds the public eye. Such is Lyman H. Howe's Moving Pictures. This season he has secured, at great expense, many delightful scenes ot varied degrees ot beauty. Among the most thrilling ever exhibited are an ice boat race and a polo game, the former a true representation of one occurring at Redbank, N. J., in which no less than twenty fleet-winged ice yachts fly like the wind over a broad field of ice. One seems to feel the exhilaration and the chill of the winter breeze that bends the snowy canvass. The polo contest presents a company of skilled players, belonging to an aristocratic club of athletes, all mounted on thor oughbred horses. The marvellous grouping of fearless riders, the jockies and the fashionable assemblage, in it self makes an impressivd picture, but when is added the daring movements, the rushes and clashes of the flying steeds, the scene is one of thrilling de light. The entertainment will be at Bloomsburg in the Opera House on December 13. Diagram at Bidle mans. Prices 25 and 35c. COURT IN SESSION. Why is ROYAL Baking Powder bet ter tkn eny other ?

The upercHious reg-etnrlan, sneer ing at the ease with which mutton for lamb and horse for beef can be palmed off on persons whone Intel lect ia dulled by a long course of flesh-eating, may now be retorted upon with the imitation new potato. Late in the season the gardener plants his crop, digs them up just before winter, and buries them. When the potato season arrives the tuber ia dug up and renews its youth in a bath of boiling lye (appropriate name!) notation. Their appearance is hereafter faultless, but lye solu tion somehow doe not impart the flavor of new potatoes. of Arizona Copper CHRISTMAS is COMING We're Ready. Are You?
