GYMNASTIC DISPLAY.
The Tenth Annual Exhibition
Proves to be the Finest Ever
Given at the School.
AN S. R. 0. AUDIENCE.
The Normal gymnasium was
crowded Monday evening. livery
nook and corner was filled up.
There was not a seat that could be
purchastd after the doors opened,
and people, by the hundreds, walk
ed up, laid down the price of ad
mission, satisfied with standing
room. Never before has there been
such an audience present, in the
gymnasium, or at least not within
the knowledge of the writer. The
occasion was the tenth annual gym
nastic display, and it proved to be
one of the most successful exhibi
tions ever given on the hill. It is
no disparagement of the nine other
similar events that have been given
in the past, to say that, never has
the gymnasium been so elaborate
ly decorated, nor the student body
appeared to better; advantage. The
ensemble, as to program, costumes,
and environment, was typical of the
thorough knowledge and refined
taste of Dr. A. K. Aldiuger, who
is at the head of the physical train
ing department ol the School.
Again we repeat that the gym
nasium never looked prettier. The
matter f decoration was given over
to the classes, and the harmony of
enthusiasm with which the work
was performed was most apparent
At the one end was the blue and
white of the Seniors, at the other,
and in striking contrast, the orange
and black of the Juniors, while the
Middlers, displayed their colors,
in the center. The eilect was in
deed, beautiful. In fact, faint
words furnishes a feeble idea of its
aolendor.
Now as to the program, it could
not have beeu better. From the
overtures, by the orchestra under
the direction of Mrs. Sutliff, to the
aesthetic dancing by senior girls, it
was first class in every respect
There were but few novelties in
troduced. but every number, wa3,
from an artistic standpoint, sound
to the core.
Dr. Aldinger and his able assist
ants, Miss Baldwin, Miss Kells,
and Mr. Marcy. are to be con
rratnlated upon the success of the
event. We present herewith the
program as it was given

A SAD 0ASE-
From Berwick comes the follow
ing sad case. Mrs. David Herring
who with her husband and two sons
resided a short distance below the
old Berwick fair trround. died on
Monday. The circumstances sur
rounding her death are most pa
thetic. Mr. Herring was employed
at the Rolling null. His wages
were sufficient to support his wife
and family comfortably, but mis
fortune came, his wife took sick,
and in order to take care of her he
was compelled to stop work. He
was in great need of help, but hav
ing only recently moved there from
Mainville, and the neighbors being
almost strangers to him, he did not
make his condition known. 1 neu
his wife gave birth to a child. The
little one, however, died. witn
nothing in the house to eat, tue
poor woman grew weaker and
weaker. Their situation was dis
covered on Saturday, but it was too
late. Tender nursing was ot no
avail, aud on Monday she died, bne
was thirty-three years ot age.
New Express Agent-
William F. Stohner has been ap

means a stranger to the work, as he
has been agent at several places for
the United Statts Express Company.
The Adams people could not have
made a better selection.

lecture was exceedingly well re
ctived, a clever blending ot splen
did oratory, bright anecdote, hold
' ing the audience in close attention
daring his entire talk."

A. False Beport.
It was reported on the street
Mondav evening that Jay Brown,
formerly of Lightstreet, but later of
Bloomsburg now living in Denver,
Colorado had committed suicide.
Wp investigated the rumor and
learned that it was false. It appears
that a paper published in the west
a copy of which reached Blooms
burg contained a report of a suicide
of a voung man by the name of Jay
Brown. He had suffered aud battled
for several years against the en
croachment of adesease until finally
becoming disheartened, in a women
of despondency ended bia days with
a revolver. ims paper was re
snonsible for the report. In con
nection with this, we are pleased to
env that Tav Brown, who has so
many frieiuls hereabouts is living in
ivnmr. Colorado and that his
health is steadily improving.

Kressler. The deceased will be
remembered by many of our older

A good sized audience greeted
the Ithaca Conservatory of Music
Concert Company in the Presby
terian church last night. Every
one was delighted with the enter

a contralto, was one of the best
heard here for some time. There
was simply no end to its volume
richness, color and musical quality

We are now in the season of lent
and the maid and matron, are glad
fnr the rest. The past week has
been a very busy one with the mem
bers of the fashionable set. It was
marked by an almost incessant
stream ot events which carried the
social leaders along through a
vortex of merriment. Card parties,
dinners and dances have followed
each other in such rapid succession,
that members of the set found it
almost necessary to keep a calendar
before them iu order not to get
mixed in their dates.
