It nay be interesting to the many
friends of Hone Furman in town to
low that he is now holdings good
position with the Penna. Railroad
Company. He is fireman on the
fast freight between Northumber
land and Lock Haven. His family
is living at the former place. His
alary, he informed the writer on
Tuesday, averages nearly one hun
dred dollars a month.
" My Island Prince," a poorly
named, and poorly acted play
dropped in upon us Friday night.
The leading lady and gentleman
were, to all appearances, in love
with each otlu-r, and they carried
their parts a trifle too far. There
was scarcely a good character in
the outfit. The piece contained
some admirable invention, but the
company could not present it.
Some people are of the opinion
that all night service on the electric
railway would be a great conve
nience. This, hewever, is a matter
of conjecture. As a matter of
course, all night cars would receive
some patronage but not enough to
pay. 1 lie present scneduie, we
believe, answers every purpose.
The last car from Berwick now
transports but few passengers, and
quite frequently it comes down
from Espy without a solitary pas
senger on board. .

day. It appears that before re
tiring he had lighted a gas stove in
the room and neglected turning it
off. He died shortly 'after being
removed from the room. He was
twenty-nine years of age.

The A. & T. Biograph Co. have
been exhibiting in towns up the
West Branch the past week. Not
withstanding the fact that some of
the places visited, notably Milton
and Lewisburg, have nearby parks,
where moving pictures are given
throughout the summer, business
has been quite satisfactory. By
the way, Lewisburg can boast of
one of the prettiest and most com
plete Opera Houses to be found
anywhere outside of the large cities.
They play but one attractiou a
week aud we were informed by the
management that the house has
always been a good dividend payer.

"At Valley Forge," which will
be the attraction at the Opera
House, Tuesday evening next po
sesses a stirring heart story told in
a logical and imprescive manner.
The scenes are laid in and around
old Valley Forge and historic Tren
ton, at the close of the great Revo
lutionary War. Briefly, the story
concerns a dashing captain of Gen
eral Washington's army and the
pretty daughter of a Tory Colonel,
and in the development ot the plot
the fortunes of the heroine and the
hero are closely followed to the end
which comes with the fall of York-
town and the ending of the war of
the Revolution. The climaxes are
particularly well devised following
each other in a logical sequence.
The production is spoken of as be
ing unusual in its elegance and cor
rectness. Mr. Frederick montague
and Miss Blanche Alexander will
be seen ill the featuie roles and
their support is said to include
many well known names.
