School Entertainment.


The recent public school entertainment
given in Uniontown by the pupils of Misses
Jessie and Nellie Mathews, was certainly
success, and very highly appreciated by the
large audience. All performed their parts
so well we can hardly praise one more than
another. But we can say, it was the best
entertainment of that character given in the
town for great many years. The teachers
deserve to be highly congratulated. The
tableaux were good selections. The room
was darkened, and the scenes on the stage
beautifully brought out by artificial light
being thrown upon them. The instrumental
music was furnished by Miss Julia Love
Lassell, on the organ, and Mr.. C.. Rodkey,
on harmonica and organ. All the selections
were well rendered. The vocal music was
furnished by the school. The following pro-
gram, consisting of Dialogues, recitation, solos
and tableaux, was given. Singing, vacation

Death of Mr.. Joseph shastfsr.

After several weeks illness Mr.. Joseph
Shaeffer died at his residence, on the Sulli-
van road, near this city, on Friday morning,
March 16. For some time friends saw that
his strength was failing, and after an attack
of paralysis few years ago, though partially
recovered, he did not regain his usual vigor,
and the recent death of several of his old
friends seemed to depress him very much.
Mr.. Shaeffer was born in this county on
September IA, 1872, and was the son of Jacob
and Susan Shaefer; was educated in coun
try subscription school and learned the car
riage. making trade and conducted the bust
ness IN this city for number of years. In
politics he started as Democrat, having cast
his first presidential vote for General jackson
in 1882. In 1913 he was appointed collector
of the state taxes, and held that position for
four years. In 1856 he was elected sheriff
over his opponent, the late John B. Summers,
by 535 majority; in 1868 he was elected one
Of the Judges of the Orphans Court as a
Republican, and was candidate for the same
position in 1879, but was defeated. From
the formation of the Republican party he was
actively engaged in politics and died men,
Der of that party.
From the formation of the Farmers and
Mechanics Bank he was director; he was
also a director for about eight years in the
Westminster Savings Bank, and upon the
death Of Nicholas Durbin, the president, Mr.
Shaeffer was made president, and remained
so until the passage of the national banking
law, when that institution was converted into
the First National Bank of this city, and he
became director IN the same. He was also
director in the present savings bank for
several years, but resigned so as 10 be direc.
tor and president of the Farmers and Mechan-
les National Bank, being elected February
"a, 1872, and so remained until the day of
his death. Mr.. Shaeffer was also director
in and agent for the Farmers Mutual Fire
Insurance Company of Dug Hill.
In religion Mr.. Shaeffer was an active and
Jealous member of Krider s Lutheran Church,
and was member of the Council for Is
years. His wife was Miss Susan Zacharias,
who, with three sons-William, Charles and
James-survive him. He was also an Odd
Fellow and member OF the Eneampment
Mr.. Shaeffer's life was insured in the Penn
Mutual Life Insurance Company for $1,000.
In respect to his memory the bank is draped
in mourning. Through all his life Mr.. Shaef-
fer was known as an honest and reliable citi-
zen, and in his family was loving and de-
voted husband and an affectionate father.

A Recital.
For the Democratic Advocate.

Last Friday evening, March 9th, the special
class in elocution occupied the College stage,
and entertained an interested audience most
charmingly. The selections on the program
were but three in number, but they were
choice ones and given excellently. The scene
from Longfellow's "Courtship of Miles Stan
dish was presented by Miss Cochran, of
Baltimore, who recited the Introduction; Miss
Lease, of Mt. Pleasant, in the character of
Priscilla, the Puritan Maiden, and Mr.. Baker
who spoke for John Alden. The trial
scene from THE Merchant of Venice was
gwen by those already named and by Miss
Barnes, of Washington, D. c., as Portfa, and
Mr.. Bennett of Somerset county, as Shylock.
The very fact that the program specified
recital by the special class in eccution, led
one to anticipate something above the ordi-
nary, and there was no disappointment.
These students, with natural gifts for the
study, under the instruction of an efficient
teacher, have attained high degree of ex-
celience in this most pleasing art-the art of
speaking well. The last number of the pro-
gram was monologue reading-T. B. AL
drich's Pauline Pavlovna by Miss Gilbert, the
teacher of elocution at Western Maryland.
Too much cannot be said in praise of this
number. Miss Gilbert is one of those rare
elocutonists who knows first what a good
selection is. and second how a good selection
ought to be recited. Entirely free from stage
vehemence and mere striving for effect, her
recitations win their way to the hearts of her
audience by their simplicity and sincerity.
In all her work there is refinement of
method, delicate artistic forethought, a
shrewd insight into character and natural
ness, qualities which go far towards making
the acceptable elocutionist. Miss Gilbert
was vigorously applauded and gave in response
Money Musk" and Whitcomb Rileys
What Boy Going To Do?' AS interludes
in this program Miss Westlake played Schu.
mann's Novelette, and Chopin Waltz, and
in keeping with the high standard of the
other part of the program. Altogether it was
an artistic entertainment.
