The Entertainment and Ball at the Carpet Mill on Saturday even ing, gtven by Mr. James Magee 2nd, the general manager, to the employees, was a decided success and will long live in the memories of those present as an epoch mak ing tune n the history of the Magee Carpet Co. There were about 400 people present and right thoroughly did they enter into the spirit of the thing. The loud clapping of hands and other forms of approval that greeted the different entertainers went to prcve how a Bloomsburg audience knows a good thing when they see and hear it, and not only that but they certainly know how to appreciate it. The program opened with "My Country 'tis of Thee," which was sung by the audience with marked feeling. The second item was a March entitled ".Santiago" by Mr. D. Goss, 011 the concertina and Mr. Wilbur I lower on the piano. The loud applause which greeted their efforts was evidence enough of their popularity as public enter tainers. The third item "Only a dream of the Golden Past," was highly appreciated. Mr. Arthur May- nard s superb voice having a telling effect on the audience. The fourth item proved to be one of the hits of the evening. In "Matrimonia1 Sweets" by Miss D. Geisinger and Mr. A. F. McCollum, the singing, style, and the ludicrous manner in which they portayed the secrets of "Matrimonial Sweets" fairly cap tivated the audience and were greeted with the loud applause they certainly deserved. The fifth item, a reading entitled, "Aunt Tibetha" by Miss Nora McPherson, was certainly a fine effort, Miss Mc pherson holding her audience from start to finish. The sixth item, "The Holy City," by Mr. Browu on the mandolin, Mr. B. Lauyou on the guitar and Mr. Goss on the dulcimer, was a taking feature aud made an impression on the audience who greeted it with the loud ap plause it certainly deserved. The seventh portion was a comic song by Mr. Jas. Lawlor Sr. entitled "I am lost." Mr. Lawlor has a power ful voice which needs no music. The comic nature of the song and the telling manner iu which it was rendered made it exesediugly amus ing to the audience who greeted it with loud applause. The eighth part, a vocal duet by Misses M. Yohe and A. Kemp entitled "Just next door" waa a sweet effort, and the attentive audience marked the pleasing effect it produced. The ninth item, soug and dance "The Factory Lad" by Mr. J. D. Goss accompanied by Prof. Metherell and Wilbur Hower on the violin and piano respectively again demon strated the proficiency acquired by the gentlemen named. Mr. Goss's portrayal of a Lancashire lad ou his way to work was certainly a good one and the manner in which Mr. Goss acquitted himself in the clog dance was one of the decided features of the evening. Mr. Ros coe Ent then highly interested and amused the party with a stump speech entitled "Bangs's Music." His delivery fully justified the loud applause that greeted his e florts. The dancing and games were thoroughly enjoyed by all and ad ded in no small way to the amuse ments of the evening. The Cake Walk passed off iu great style, Mr. Keete Warner and Miss Wren, Mr. Allison and C. Gerring- er, Mr. Girton and Miss Faux and Misses M. Yohe and A. Kemp taking part, the first prize going to Mr. Waruer and second to the Misses Yohe and Kemp, the audi ence being convulsed with laughter thrughout. The highest praise must be given to the musicians who catered so well to the requirements of the dancers. The refreshments were all that could be desired, con sisting of ham sandwiches, Frank furters, hard-boiled eggs, pickles, sweitzer cheese, coffee, ice cream, cake, candy and nuts. The ex pedition with which this large as semblage was served was admirable and remarkable.

She was ably assisted by Mrs. Law, Mrs. Cook, Mrs Titel, Mrs. Alli son, Mrs. Mover, Mrs. Gearinger, Mrs. Werkheis'jr.Mrs. Lloyd Smith, and Mrs Naylor, to all of whom Mr. Migee extends his thanks for their very valuable assistance, as well as to all who in any way con tributed to the .eminent success of the occasion. Miss Geisinger of Espy presided at t lie piano as ac companist and assisted in the pro gram in a very acceptable manner. The piano was from the room , of Chas. M. Stitff on Iron street. Mr. Law as Master of Ceremonies handled his forces like a general, and was ably assisted by the various committees consisting of the follow ing persons: Master of Ceremonies W. M. Law. Floor and Order H. Brennard, J. Titel, J. Morris, J. Byram, Miss L. E. Kelly. Entertainment A. B. Naylor, R. Moyer, A. F. McCollum, A. A. Drum. Fixtures and Decorating L. Smith, P. Werkheiser. W. Pooley, W. Huffman, Geo. Bills. Games J. Byram, O. Aust, A. McHcnry, A. H. Cook. Electrician N. E. Faux. Such an entertainment as this is an indication of good fellowship existing between employer and em ployees. It has its influence not only on the Carpet Mill, but in directly upon the eutire community. The eveniug's frolic was a novel one, made very attractive in every possible way by those having it in charge, especially by the ladies who always know just what to do and how to do it. Mr. Magee, the host of the evening, the General issimo aud master-spirit of the en tire affair, can pat himself on the back and accept his own congratu lations as well as those of all the participants, on having couceived aud managed so colossal an enter tainment, to the entire satisfaction and great pleasure of all his guests. NOT THE MEN WANTED- The usual quiet and serenity of last Sunday morning was rudely disturbed by the appearance in town of two suspicious looking characters who got off the Berwick car. They were arrested by Chief of Police Knorr, but not until they had given him and his assistants a lively chase from Main Street dowu thorough the bog in the vicinity of the Har-man-Cogger plant. Chief Knorr had previously been informed of a robbery which had been committed at the residence of Harry June, in Berwick early in the morning, and was ou the lookout for individuals whose appearance was in any way suspicious. He spied these fellows get off the car. and he at once con cluded that they were the guilty party. As they were brought up town, the curiosity of the people was at fever heat, and a crowd that completely filled the street gathered. They were taken to Berwick, where they proved an alibi and were dis charged. If they were innocent it is hard to understand why they took to flight. lumieatecl- Under the supervision of Drs. Ar ment and Gofl a sanitary election was held in Centralia Tuesday, all the official papers being thoroughly fumigated. The returns and return judges also were subjected to a dis infecting process before they were permitted to begin their journey to the county seat. Our Investments. Converted into Cash.

"HEARTS AND f AGES." The entertainment given by Mrs. Edith C. Rick in the Opera House last Thursday night was attended by one of Bloomsburg's best audi ences, and for this reason there may have appeared to be a lack of appreciation because there was no vociferous applause. Bloomsburg audiences of the better class are not noisy. They quietly enjoy what is before them, and show some out ward manifestation of approval, but they are not given to enthusiastic outbursts, and seldom, if ever, in dulge in curtain calls, and for the reason the reputation has gone abroad that we are cold and un appreciative. This is a mistake however, for the after-talk shows that any performance of merit is always fully appreciated and thor oughly eujoyed. So it was with Mrs. Rick's monologue, which is both unique and novel. It is her own production, and she presents it in a most charming manner. She appears in seven different characters, namely, the child, the school girl, the debutante, the bride, the wife, the mother, the grand mother, each ot which she acts to perfection. It is hard to conceive that the little girl of twelve, and the aged lady of seventy-five are represented by the same person. In the sixth scene, as the mother, she has all sorts ot trouble with her four children. At the close of the act a gentleman sitting just behind us remarked, "She does that right up to nature. I have four children at home myself." The entertainment abounds with humor that brings laughter to the hearers, with keen thrusts at the foibles of fashionable society, and with pathos that moistens many an eye. Mrs. Ric was a success, and it was a great pleasure to hear her. The stage was handsomely set, and much improved by the ad ditional lights recently put iu by Manager Fowler. Mrs. Rick's costumes are elegant and appropri ate, and these unite with her at tractive face and form to make a very pretty picture. Mrs. Grant Herring had the en tire charge and responsibility of this production, and the people of Bloomsburg are indebted to her for a delightful performance. She managed the whole affair admir ably, and succeeded in clearing a nice sum of money which will be handed over to the Lutheran church. and vxL-Jjr rnnerfi range prices ItUjS ffl prices 1 The Coats are made by the best Overcoat makers in America, and they are simply Overcoat elegance and perfection.
