BEN GREET COMING.
The English Actor and his Company
have been secured at the Normal.
AN EXCELLENT TREAT.
Professor O. H. - Bakeless has
completed arrangements for the
coming of the Ben Greet Company
of English players to the Normal
School during the first week in
April. This will be a literary treat
which Bloomsburg is fortunate in
having.
As we have stated before, this
company is the best known produc
er of Shakespereati plays in this
country and England. That they
have played under the auspices of
nearly every prominent college and
university in the United States is
evidence of their ability.
They interpret the dramas of the
Bard of Avon from the original
versions, presenting them in the
style of the early English theatre,
without change of scenery, thus
giving a literary value to their
work.
Their specialty is out of doors
plays in the summer time, and ma
ny a college campus has witnessed
these performances.
It is probable that a matinee and
an evening performance will be
given. Three hundred seats have
beeu reserved at oue dollar, and all
but eighty of these have been al
ready engaged. The rest of the
house will be sold at fifty cents a
seat. The company deserves a
crowded house, and such an early
demand for tickets indicates that it
will play to capacity.
POULTRYMEN PLEASED.
The Poultry Show of the Blooms
burg Poultry, Pigeou, and Pet
Stock Association, held in the Mid
way last week, was a success in
every way. The exhibit was large
and well arranged, and the birds
made up the finest collection ever
brought together in the county.
The public generally enjoyed it,
and the members of the association
were more than satisfied.
The out of-town exhibitors were
greatly pleased with the care taken
of their stock here and with the
promptness of their return. Many
letters expressing gratification have
been received.
Financially the show was a suc
cess; not that there will be much of
a surplus, but that there will be no
deficit, which is highly satisfactory
in that it was the first attempt of
this kind in town.
LECTURE BY JUDGE HINCKLEY.
The members of the Christian
Endeavor of St. Matthew's Luth
eran Church have secured the ser
vices of Hon. II. M. Hinckley of
Danville, for a lecture in the church
on Friday evening. The subject of
his discourse is "Nehemiah."
Judge Hinckley has a high repu
tation as a public speaker, both as
a lawyer and a layman, and the
church should be filled to bear him.
No admission will be charged,
out a silver collection will be taken.
LEG BROKEN IN UPSET.
John R. Splain, of near Lime
Ridge had the misfortune of being
thrown from a sleigh on Sunday,
and having his left leg broken
above the ankle. His son John F.
Splain of town, was with him, and
was likewise thrown out, but es
caped injury.' The bone was set
by Dr. Bruner.
RECENT DEATHS.
PKTKR BALDY.
Peter Baldy, formerly of Dan
ville, but for some years past re
siding at St. Paul, Minn., died at
the Sanitarium at Wernersville,
Pa., last week Thursday.
The deceased was a son of the
late Peter Baldy of Danville, and
his activity and enterprise for a
generation or more were factors
that contributed largely to Dan
ville's growth and prosperity. He
was a resident of that borough up
to about twenty seven years ago
when he removed to St. Paul, Min
nesota, where he resided until his
death. He was a man of enter
prise. It is largely through his
exertion and personal sacrifice that
Danville has that magnificent spec
imen of architecture, Christ Me
morial church. He was a fine mu
sician, a man of generous disposi
tion, who without osteutation did
many charitable acts.
Had Mr. Baldy survived until
next April he would have been
eighty years of age. He is sur
vived by his widow, four sons,
Frederick, an instructor in a school
near Boston, Arthur of New York
City and Milton and John, who re
side in Colorado; also by two
daughters, Misses Sallie and Mary,
who reside at the parental home.
The deceased is also survived by a
brother, the Rev. Hurley Baldy; of
Mt. Airy, and two sisters, Mrs.
Mary C. Greenough of Sunbury
and Mrs. Charles Matthews, of
Plainfield. N. J.
Mr. Baldy was for many years
the leading merchant of Danville.
At one time he owned the Opera
House. He was a prominent Epis
copalian and was known through
out the diocese.
The remains were taken to Dan
ville on Saturday, and the funeral
was held on Sunday afternoon at
3 o'clock.
During lite Mr. Baldy had fre
quently expressed the wish not on
ly that his funeral might take place
from Christ Memorial church, but
also that his body might repose
within its walls on the last night
preceding burial. In compliance
with bis wish, therefore, the body,
Saturday afteruoon was conycyed
directly from the station tD Christ
church, where it remained until
the funeral.

He was thirty years old and is

dren. MRS. WILLIAM KRAMER.

Tames, the vouuer.'st sou of Mr.

MEAN THIEVES.
Many Pens Stolen from the Writing
Desks In the Post Office.
For the convenience of the pub
lie there are standing desks in the
Post Office where writing may be
done by those who choose to do it.
These stands are equipped with
pens and ink and blotters, ana the
conveniences are very much appre
ciated. as, there is scarcely a time
in the day that they are not in use
But as usual there are some who
do not appreciate them, and who
by their abuse may cause the loss
of the convenience to the public
In other words, there are seme
thieves who are stealing the pens
almost daily, and this has been
going on for some time.
Postmaster Brown has put up a
card offering a reward nf five dol
lars tor the canture ot tne pen
thieves. A watch is being kept not
only by the employees of the post
office, but by a number of others
as well, and the persons who are
engaged in this petty thievery had
better look a little out, or they may
get into trouble, as Postmaster
Brown is determined to break up
the practice.
A DESERVED COMPLIMENT.
For manv vears Guv Tacobv
Esq. has filled the office of justice
of the Peace m the lowu ot
Bloomsburg. His legal ability, and
his judicial temperament have so
well htted him for the performance
of his magisterial duties, that the
administration of his office has been
eminently satisfactory, a fact which
is evidenced by his re-election term
after term.
At the recent caucuses of both
the Democratic and Republican
parties he was unanimously re
nominated, a compliment that was
well deserved.
WILL OPEN A BAKERY.
Harry Rinker, proprietor of the
"Crystal Palace , is going to in
stall a bakery in the rear of his
store.
An addition 18x20 feet will be
erected on the rear of the building

Palace" a .full view of the bake
shop. It is Mr. Rinker's intention
to be ready to serve the public with
bread, cakes, etc., by March 1st.
These ovens are to be continuous
bakers and will turn out over 1,500
loaves of bread every hour.
