The Theatre.

The Limited Mail, as rendered in
the Opera House of Bloomsburg on
Friday evening was pronounced sue
cess from first to last. Besides the
scenic effect, which was thrilling, the
acting was good, the singing taking,
and the music superb throughout.
Beatrice took her role we'll as lead
ing character, whether as d rollicking
boy or in artistic song and dance,
being in fact the most 1.-THE and supple
little girl we have yet seen on the
stage. The play as rendered here was
well supported throughout, and Prof.
ElwelPs orchestra acquitted itself with
its usual artistic ability. The insidious
effect OF appropriate music lends fifty
per cent. to the impression the best
actor can produce-at least that's our
opinion. No matter what the scene
may be, appropriate music is always
helpful, whether it be to blacken the
crime or cheer the spirits or to add to
the gloom or brightness requisite to
the occasion.
The theatrical performance that
never touches the finer sensibilities
through acting and music combined,
or never draws righteous and SYM
pathetic tear, fails in its proper
mission. AS for the other
order of entertainment, they are
generally well calculated to get up
laugh that is good for dyspeptics, but
the effect is evanescent for want of
depth, and it is just as we'll no, doubt,
that it is so.
AS for the theatre proper, and when
properly conducted, they may as GER
tainly be made to enlarge and strength
en- the finer sensibilities, as by their
neglect and abuse (Which is too fire..
quently the case) they may be made
to enlarge and cultivate the baser
nature and passions.

The Pedagogues Convene.

The school teachers of Columbia
County have spent this week at the
county seat in annual session of the
Teachers Institute. They assembled
in the Opera House on Mouday,
October a7d, and were formally
called to order by County Superinten.
dent w. c. Johnston, who had spared
no pains to arrange an interesting
program
Prof l. d. Gresh, of Milton, was
first introduced as director of Music,
after which Rev. l. NJ. Patterson
offered prayer.
The welcome address was delivered
by Rev. c. II. Brandt, who ably re.
viewed and compared the past with
the present methods of teaching
school. Able and pertinent remarks
along this line we're also made by
A. U. Lesher and Boyd Trescott.
Organization was affected as fol.
lows President, Supt. w. C. John
ston; Vice. Presidents, f. +. Carr,
D. E. Mury, w. w. Heffner and w.
c. Mauser; Treasurer, A. F. Ter.
williger Secretary, J. P. Yorks.
After brief musical entertainment
DR.. J. P. Gordy gave talk on Psy-
chology, or the laws of nature, and
their relation to educational work
The successful teacher to-day, he
maintained, must be something of a
psychologist.
Miss Edmund, of the East Strouds.
burg Normal School, next spoke upon
Teaching American History and aptly
illustrated the best methods of pre-
senting history to the student. The
simpler storytelling method she
deemed most apt to adhere and prove
effectual.
Miss Moore, of Chicago, spoke
next on Geography. This she thought
should be taught by both observation
and imagination. AS geographical
names are learned, while directions
are not, the student may easily speak
Of a place without knowing where it is
or how to locate it.
After a solo by Prof. Gresh, DR..
Byron King gave number of his
dramatic recitations which were highly
appreciated.
Since the Inauguration of the
Teachers Institute a few years ago, it
has rapidly grown in favor with the
teachers male and female. On the
hrst day of assembly this year Super
intendent Johnson announced that
a37 teachers were present out of a
possible 239; but as the two absent
teachers put in an appearance later in
the day, the full number are present
on this occasion. A good program
has been arranged and the Institute
is pronounced success.

THE oHURoHLEss EvANGELIoALs

All the Evangelical church men,
bers OF Pennsylvania, aside from the
comparatively few that are affiliated
with the Bowman-Esher wing are
now to all intents and purnoses
churchless by virtue Of legal decis-
ION from the Supreme Court of the
State in which it became necessary
for the court to settle jurisdiction and
control of church property within the
power OF one or the other of the two
factions that is between the Dubs
wing OF the church and the Bowman
Esher wing Of it. The Dubsites be.
Ing In the vast majority throughout
the State, as we are informed, the
inequity of the decision is what the
Dubsltes Of this neighborhood are
complaining about. The decision.
however, was no doubt rendered &C.
cordlng to law,and the highest kind of
law in the State, since 1t emanates
from the Supreme Court, and is not
subject to reversal.
NOW since the Dubsltes represent
the majority of the laity, and the
Bowman-Esherites represent and
own all church property, land without
regard to who built them and paid for
them) 1t looks as though there would
be more empty Evangelical churches
than are needed upon the one hand,
and that the country school.houses
and highways and byways would have
to be called into requisition by the
unfortunate Dubsites, since to get
permission to worship in their own
churches will be rather too humiliating
to think of. But this is apt to be the
result of the row if compromise is not
effected.
To the writer it seems that without
regard to denomination we have too
many empty churches already, and it
is certainly demoralizing to the best
intentioned worshipper and layman to
observe the traditional force of old
Roman church government wherein
all ownership and power lies with the
absorbing and controlling Bishops
rather than with the supporting and
maintaining laity. The day is coming
when the laity will have something to
say about ownership in this country.

BIOYOLING.

Robert Swayze, whose leg was
broken in a bicycle race at the fair is
now convalesing. 1t seems that Rob.
ert was pushing the leader uncomfort-
ably close at the time of the accident
and his attempt to look back was the
cause of it. Not only he that puts
his hand to the plow and looks back
is condemned and liable to get hurt,
but the bicycle racer particularly
wants to look straight ahead and
never mind the hindmost. This
should be the memorable rule, even
though the hindmost becomes fore
most in the race. We have noticed
that when the nerves are at the high
tension incident to racing and the
breath comes and goes IN short pants
in consequence of vital exhaustion,
that bicycles tip over as easy as other
things that have lost their equilibrium.
The most expert are apt to fall in
turning or dismounting at the end of
a race.

was said that the former although
about two hundred feet longer cost
less. But in this comparison it was
not stated that the Bloomsburg Bridge
contained 40 tons more iron than the
Milton Bridge, and is consequently a
heavier and stronger structure.

Labor, spoke last night before the congre-
CATION of the Church of tho Divine Fra
ternity, this city. He said, among other
things: ~ chiefly desire to emphasize the
fact that labor union comes into exist
ence without opposition. Concert of action
is essential when capital combines to
grind labor under its heel. How men and
women who are employers of child labor
can come to church and do the pious act
passes all understanding. They have the
blood of innocent children on their
hands ~
