Tho number of dancers was larger than usual, the costumes wero quite as elaborate and varied in character, the spectators were much more num erous than heretofore and the genernl tnjoyment, by reason of all of these excellencies, was more marked. The opening burletta was hugely en joyable. The stage showed a scene in Klondike, ice nnd snow being the predominating features. A party of prospectors (Fred Hummler, James T. Oulnnan, William Kemmerer and J. McDonald) came upon a lonely miner tJohn V. Schwenker) working at a claim. There are some happy ex changes of local hits and then the lonely miner agrees to sell his claim for a bottle of whiskey, which he espies In tho possession of the prospectors, saying that he Is satisfied that there aro riches galore In the diggings, but he wants to get back to Scranton, where he understands there are some shows that will thraw out his chilled blood, The exchange Is made; the prospec tors begin operations and to their first blast breaks away tho Ice and reveals a cave from which emerge a prince and princess (Timothy J. Qulnnan and Miss Rose Blatter), who, after thank ing tho surprised gold hunters for their dellverencc, wall: down from the stage and start the grand march. The play was composed by and car ried out under the directions of Fred lijmmler and was very creditable to his wit and Ingenuity. One of the happy conceits of the mas queraders was a lively German band Impersonated very cleverly by eight of the younger members of the Turn Ver eln. The decorations by Fuhrman were very tasteful and Lawrence's orchestra furnished dance music par excellence. The committee which had charsre of the arrangements was composed of Fred Hummler, Frank Hummler, Adam Vockroth, T. J. Qulnnan, Ed ward Elsele, Henry A. Vockroth and J. F. Qulnnan. Henry Vockroth, J.

Fathers and mothers, who long to have their children healthy and happy cannot fail to sympathize and rejoice with Mr. and Mrs John F. Williams. Their comfortable home, a short distance from Damon, I1L. is happy now because of the wonderful events that are told in words eloquent with simple truth and gratitude, by the mother of the boy.

Jones cured this fever, but the child did not recover strength. "He began fading away beneath our eyes. "He had no appetite, vomited a great deal, coughed continually, his limbs be came withered. "He became painfully weak and ema ciated. We waited for his death. " At this time a boarder named Asa Rob inson suggested that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People would do the child good. "They had cured Mr. Robinson of rheumatism and he believed in them. OBITUARY. Edward P.
