A GOOD MINSTREL SHOW
Soma Novel Aclt Wert Presented at the
Normul Monday Evenlng.-Fun Plentiful
and Pervasive.
Nothing but words of praise are to
be heard from those who attended
the Normal Athletic Association's
benefit minstrels in the Auditorium
Monday evening. The program Irom
the opening to the close was an excel
lent one, and has rarely been equalled,
certainly never surpassed by amateurs
in town. The affair was gotten up
and presented in the delightful man
ner that is an unfailing characterestic
of the institution.
The fust part of the program was
good and embraced many pleasing
features, among them being a bass
solo " I've Wailed Long for You," by
Mr. Ruloff, a comic song "And They
Gave Me a Medal for T"iat " by Mr.
Colley, a comic song " The Erring
Boy's Past" by Mr. Cuff," a popular
song " Under the Bamboo Tree " by
Mr. Gross, and a coon song " Dark
Brown Lou" by Mr. Marcy. The
interrogations by the end men Colley,
Marcy, Gross and Cuff were all time
ly and every one caught the audience.
Dr. Aldinger acted as interlocutor,
and did admirably.
In amateur minstrels the opening
part is usually the strongest but it
wasn't the case Monday night. The
olio consisted of seven numbers and
every one of them was fine.
Mr. Cuff executed a neat dance,
and was tumultuously applauded. He
is probably the best amateur dancer
ever seen in Uloomsburg.
Mr. Marcy scored a hit in his
monologue and frequently had to
wait until the applause subsided. His
make up too, that of a farmer, was
very characterestic.
"Jockeying" participated in by
eight couples, and led bv Tommy
Hayes, was the leading feature of the
evening. It was a genuine novelty,
and everybody was pleased with it.
Attired, the ladies in derby hats,
black coats and white skirts, and the
gentlemen in Jockey suits they made
a striking appearance, and gave
a spectacular display of the graces of
motion. Prof. Jos. Dennis heightened
the. beauty of the scene vith colored
lights.
Alfred Armstrong delighted the
audience with an exhibition of illumi
nated club swinging. Club swinging
is not new by any means, but rarely
indeed do we see a person so skilled
and graceful as this young man.
" African Wanderings " by Messrs
Rooke and Ruloff, provoked laughter
and applause, and they were com
pelled to respond to an encore.
" Psyche " by Normal girls, was
another winning number, and the
audience wanted more of it after it
had been repeated.
The closing number of the pro
gram was "Home Sweet Home" by
Mr. Colley, and a chorus. He enact
ed the part of a tramp. His unique
ability and clever make up, added at
mosphere to the song. As he sat.g
the last line, a large American flag,
suspended from the top was dropped
down, which with the chorus of fifty
people made a most magnificent stage
setting, and a happy ending. A re
petition was demanded, and Mr. Coiley
sang another verse with Dr. Aldinger
as the topic, ending with "and any old
game you put him at, is Home, Sweet
Home to him.
D. J. Tasker sang two illustrated
songs, "I will wed you in the Golde.i
Summer time," and "Jennie Lee" in
his usual good style, and was warmly
applauded. Harry Achenbach work
the slides. Throughout the" evening.
the ever popular Normal School
Orchestra rendered a fine musical
program.
The accompanists for the oloistss
were Miss Edith Miller, Miss Delia
Geisinger, Mrs. Frank Colley and
Mrs. Prof. Sutliff.
The services in the M. E. Church
next Sunday will be of extraordi
nary interest. Rev. F. D. Game-
well, D. D., who planned the fort
ifications at Pekiu, China, during
the recent Boxer rebellion will
occupy the pulpit at both the morn
ing and evening services. He will
also talk to the Sunday School. A
cordial invitation is extended to the
public to be present at the services
.Squire Jacoby's office in the
Wirt building was the scene of a
weddinsr on Monday. The con
trading parties were residents of
Shenandoah, bamuel Rosen ana
Miss Mary Bender. The Squire in
his characterestic sedateness pro
nounced the words and the couple
departed m good spirits.

AN ORDINANCE NEEDED-
There is not much encouragement
in this town for people who try to
keep their premises in an attractive
shape. On Market street where the
gutter is thrown out some distance
from the pavement, the residents
have taken pains to sod this' plot,
and the street is thereby greatly
beautified. But the conduct of
many people who seem to be utterly
regardless of the rights of others, is
a source of great annoyance to many
of the property owners. It is strange
how many people there are whose
time is so valuable that they can't
spare enough of it to go around a
corner on the pavement, but must
cut the corner and go across the sod,
thus killing the grass and making a
bare spot where the lot owner has
tried for years to get a good sod. It
does no good to put up a sign "keep
off the grass," for the lawless ones
either will not see it, or if they do,
they tear the sign down. It does
no good to put up a railing to keep
trespassers off the sod, for the rail
only makes a convenient roost for
the Saturday and Sunday night
loafers who infest the street corners.
On three corners of Market street
railings of this kind have been pull
ed up and broken by the loafers.
Now, is it possible that the prop
erty owners have no rights in this
matter? For years individuals have
been trying to get the police to
break up this corner loafing habit,
especially on Sunday nights, but it
has amounted to nothing. A police
man comes toward the crowd, and
it disperses. The policeman dis
appears, and the gang is back again
in less than five minutes.
What is needed is an ordinance
prohibiting walking on lawns on
either side of the pavement; pro
hibiting loafing on street corners,
especially on Saturday and Sunday
nights, and making a heavy penalty
for these, and also for sitting on, or
in any way interfering with any
guard rail that has been placed for
the purpose of protecting the sod.
The enforcement of such an ordin
ance a few times, by making arrests
and imposing the fines, would give
protection against the intoleral le
abuses that now exist.

HASrMA.N'3 OPENING-
The opening of the new addition to
R. E. Hartman's store will take place
on Friday, November 28th. An
orchestra will be in attendance and
will furnish music from 2 to 5 and 7

tion is extended to all to visit the
store and see the improvements.
Mr, llagea Injured.
On Sunday morning last as James
Magee was alighting from the bus,
at his home on First street, the
horses started and threw him down,
severely wrenching his knee, and
otherwise bruising him. He was
returning from a business trip, and
had a bundle in one hand and a grip
in the other. lie is confined to his
bed, with his leg in a plaster cast.
Aside from the painful nature of the
accident, it is a hardship for a man
of so active and energetic a disposi
tion as Mr. Magee to be housed for
a couple of weeks at this busy time
of the year, when the great indus
tries that he has established here,
with indomitable pluck and in the
face of almost insurmountable ob
stacles, need his presence and super
vision. He will be out, no doubt,
as soon as his physician will permit
him to venture on crutches.
An Interesting Case for Phvsioians-
Ernest Rupert, the 16 years old
son of Barney Rupert, of Beech
Creek, whose heart is on the right
side instead of his left, is an inter
esting study for the physicians. Dr
S. J. McGhee made the discovery
while examining the young man tor
a life insurance policy. The heart,
lungs and liver are believed to be
very close together. Notwithstaud
ing this peculiarity of the young
man's internal organs he enjoys
gooA health and works every day at
the Pennsylvania fire brick works
Very few cases of this kind have
been reported.
