OPENING or SoNE8sETs FIRST OPERA
HousE.-The new Opera House. the first one
ever erected in Somerset County, was opened
last Tuesday evening by the Bella Moore
Dramatic Company in the popular play 4
Mountain Pink" The large audience that
crowded the building was certainly fiatter-
ing to the sprghtly young actress, and very
encouraging to the enterprising young gen
tlemen who own the house, which is a de
cided credit to the town. We gavea descrip-
ton Of the building, stage, and scenery in a
former issue. Over seven hundred people
witnessed the performance Of 4 Mountain
Pink" and quite as many were present
Wednesday evening, when The Danites
was played by the same company. The
Danites requires the full strength Of Miss
Moore's company in its production. 1t is a
most exciting and highly interesting play
and the audience was completely carried
away with it. The ledge was most ad-
mirably p~ersonated BY Mr.. Hanna. while
Mr.. Louis Egan, as the Heather Chinee,
called forth rounds OF applause and peals OF
laughter whenever he appeared. Miss Moore
most excellently rendered the characters oi
Nancy Williams and Billee Piper.
a Mountain Pink" ran smoothly from
beginning to end. and the different members
of the troupe threw themselves into the plo'
with creditable force and energy. Boil
PLAYS were well received. but wednesday
evenings performance was the more gener
ously a~pplauded and was generally conceded
to be the better of the two. The maHager:
are to be congratulated upon their successful
Opening"

Lovers Four ASp MArDESs FIVE A
Story of the Allegheny Mountains Is a
charming little volume that will capture the
novel-reading public this season. The fact
that twenty-five thousand copies have been
printed in the first edition shows the maSni-
tude of the advance orders. Not only VIII
the story be enjoyed for its " sake, but 1t
will assuredly direct new attention 70 the
prettiest and most accessible mountain resort
in America, Cresson Springs. The splendid
trains of the great trgnk line of the Penn
sylvania Railroad pass within full view OF
rhe broad verandas of the Mountain House.
Into a pretty love story the writer, Julius
Chambers, has woven all the lost tale; OF th e
Alleghenies. and descriptions of the beauti-
fui walks and drives of the mountains.
Nothing that can interest The visitor or tie
historian has been overlooked, and the pref
ty romance therefore acquires q permanent
value that will cause it to be preserved for
ra-reading. We noted many epigrams and
clever sayings by the young women who
conduct the campaign against the Ale
gheny club. Many of them We would like
to reproduce here. The serious fault that
we have 10 find with the story is that 1t is
not longer. It can be read at q sitting. Pub
iished by Porter Is Coates, Philadelphia

wife Of Mr.. Hertz Keiser, late Of this place.
She died at Berlin in August last. leaving
quite an estate. A short time before her

that for quite q long time before her death
she did not have the -testsmentary capacity
to make a viii and that the one made was
