phonograph concerts at Frackville on Satur.
day evening. Peter Beck and II. j. Knebel,
members of the st. Michael Society of town,
under whose auspices the concert is to be
given in Ferguson's theatre tonight, were
present and they pronounce the concert a
most delightful and interesting one The
phOnograph repeated solos, quartetts, choruses
and music rendered by bands in most
perfect and distinct manner and all could be
plainly heard in all parts of the hall. Some
very humorous pieces were also given. At
the concert to be given in Fergusons theatre

selections to be repeated by the photograph.

at the north end of Main street to hear the
sacred concert by the Grant Band. So great
was the crowd many people were unable to
get within several hundred feet of the place
where the band was.
The concert was an excellent one. The
selections were of patriotic and sacred
order and picked from the compositions of
some of the most famous composers, and all
were rendered by the band in a brilliant
style. Unfortunately the position taken by
the band was in hollow and this together
with stiff wind blowing and clouds of dust
speeding in all directions made the concert
somewhat disappointment to many. They
re unable to hear the selections dis
tinctly. But those who were fortunate
enough to get near the band and had fa-
vorable locations were afforded a rare treat.
Many carriages dotted the hillside. Some
people drove from Ashland, Girardville,
Frackville and Mahanoy City to hear the
concert. The band will be urged to give
another in the near future, but in a more
suitable place, probably at the old Columbia
park.

1t is always a conflict, this wres.
tling with duty. A young dress
maker, a member of the Salvation
Army, received letter from a would
be customer asking among other
things whether the material she was
planning to bring g-plush--would be
suitable and look well to use in the
big sleeves in vogue.
Now, the fame of the customer as a
parlor elocutionist had preceded her,
but was misunderstood by the dress
maker as associating its object with
the stage, which her duty taught her
to abhor.
So she sat down and conscientious
ly replied to the letter that she could
not sew on agarment which was to be
worn by person so contaminated
and urged her toforsake her ungodly
work and turn her talents to some
better advantage. The letter ran on
thus for three pages and as sternly
closed.
But duty having been placated the
natural kindliness Of human nature
popped up in little postscript.

for the use you suggest. 1t would be
better to make the sleeves Of silk. ~
