NEW MANAGEMENT.

After the first of April the manage.
ment of the Opera House will be in
the hands of J. M. Gliding. The
room will be remodeled, painted
frescoed and carpeted. The stage
will be enlarged to the regulation
size, SO that it will be possible to place
any scenery on it. The present seen.
cry will be laid aside, and new pro-
vided. 1t is the intention of the
management to give the people o.
this place an opportunity of witness
ing the very best plays on the road
and consistent with the size of the
town; and in order to get them they
are obliged to have better accommoda.
tions than the hall now affords.
These improvements mean an outlay
of a considerable sum of money, but
they are satisfied that the public will
appreciate it, and show it by theil
attendance. Mr.. Gliding brings to
this work years of experience, and
knowing the companies as he does,
and the wants of the people as well,
we are assured that bright future is
in store for the Bloomsburg Opera
House.

side. That he had been there 10 or
IS minutes when Watts insisted on
gong home. That when about hall
way home Watts drew out the robes
as above stated. | said he should
take them back, but he said he would
put them in our barn. The next
morning he came up and cut off the
tails from one of the robes and the
sheep skin from the bottom of the
other. He stuck the sheep skin and
tails along the side of the barn. At
this point the examination was inter-
rupted by the Grand Jury entering
and presenting their report. They
reported tnat they had performed
their duties, had examined the public
buildings and found them all in
excellent condition, but would recon-
mend that the Sheriff's Office be paint
ed and papered. The Court called
the Commissioners before him and
stated that he understood that the
Methodist church desired to use the
Court House for religious service
during the erection of their new church
and that they desired the matter sub
mitted to the Grand Jury for their
action. He said that he had heard it
rumored that the Court had express
ed an opinion that the matter must
be referred to the Grand Jury. That
was mistake. He had never made
that assertion. That the Commission
ers had passed resolution in which
they had refused to allow the Court
House to be used for any purpose,
and that unless a majority of them
desired to rescind that resolution he
would not send it before the Grand
Jury. The Commissioners stated
that they would stand by the resoIu-
ton as it appeared on their minutes.
The Grand Jury was then discharged.

Christian Endeavor Day.

The fifteenth anniversary of the or
ganization of this excellent society of
young people was celebrated last
Sunday in our town with the enthusi-
asm that only Christian, Endeavorers
can get up. The union meeting in
the Lutheran church was all the build
ing could hold. Everybody wanted
to be at the meeting and crowded
every nook and corner. The song
service was led by Miss Ernest of the
Evangelical church, and the meeting
proper by Mr.. Jay Brewer of the
Presbyterian church. The orchestra
Of the Y. VI. c. A. was present and
the singing was an inspiration. Very
many took part in the service and the
hour was all too short for all who
wished to participate. This meeting
was followed by another service held
by the Lutheran Society which was
led by Prof. Albert. Many of the
members attending the first meeting
remained for the second, and the
interest was maintained throughout.
The second service lasted about an
hour and quarter and was enjoyed
by everybody. This remarkable or
ganization has grown in fifteen years
from one society in little village in
Maine to over $4,000 in every civilized
country in the world, and a member
ship of 1900, 900. At this rapid
growth the a5th anniversary will have
a membership of ten million. What
host of Christian young people
banded together for the exclusive
purpose of making better men and
women, better citizens and better
patriots.

breathed her lungs hurt. She went to
her room, and continued growing
worse complaining of pleurisy in right
side, which she patiently endured
until Thursday night, when pneumonia
set in, and Friday morning at $50
she died. Every thing that was posi-.
bic was done for her, doctors Bonham
and Whitley being in constant attend
ance. But her disease was beyond
human help. She was daughter of
Allen Mann, late of Beaver township
deceased, and moved to Benton about
FIVE years ago, and resided with her
brother, c. F. Mann, until her mar
rlage in October, 1898. She leaves
to survive her brother, above named,
and four sisters, Grace, and Ida
Mann, of Benton, Mrs. Jacob Baker
of Mt. Grove, and Mrs. C. E. Benton,

She was aged Io years, months
and ten days, and the funeral services
which were held in the NJ. E. Church

inclemency of the weather were large
ly attended. The bereaved husband

munity.

MARSHAL OANROBBRT's HAIR
1t Was the Banner which Led His Sol
diers to Victory.

1t Was the Banner Which Led His Sol
diers to Victory.
1t was singular fact that the late Mar
shall Canrobert, the last of the French
marshals, offered in himself constant
example of the violations of the regula-
tions of the army in which he was so con-
spicuous an officer, says Tit-Bits.
Throughout almost the whole of his mill
tary service Canrobert wore long hair
flowing down his shoulders, and his hair
was sort of orihamme to the soldiers.
But ever since the year 1888 the French
army regulations have positively required
that every officer and soldier shall wear
closely cut hair, without any tufts, curls
or ringlets whatsoever" and severe penal
ties are provided for persistence in letting
the hair grow long.
Canrobert had profuse mass of hair,
which lie was very proud Of 1t was
cropped, to his great grief, when ne went
into the military school of st. Cyr in 1926,
but when, as young officer, he went into
the Algerian war in 1885 he profited by the
relaxation OF many regulations to let his
hair grow down his shoulders again.
Several years later, also in Algeria,
Colonel Canrobert. bareheaded, led a
| heroic charge at Zaatcha, and his long
floating hair in the thick of the com bat
served as rallying sign to the zouaves as
they swarmed through the breach.
After this war Conroberts head of hair
had already become so famous that no
superior ventured to command him to cut
it off, though General Pelissier, who hated
him, once called him ''professor'' in cafe
in Paris, and, by way of excuse, affected to
have mistaken him for a doctor OF philoso-
pny on account of his hair.
The Emperor Napoleon III did once
venture to demonstrate with Canrobert for
wearing long hair. The marshal's re-
sponse was very "Frenchy."
= Sire" he said, my hair belongs to his
toryp
He did not cut it off 1t floated all
through the French and German war, be-
coming legendary among the soldiers.
Long since it became snow white and fell
upon the old marshaPs shoulders III his
declining days, and it clustered about
them as his body lately lay in state in

campaign work and rewarded its founder
with upervisorship for his faithfulness
to them and their interest.
After the death of Supervisor Jackson
the club about held its own and remained
as barrier against Democratic incursion
into the old Ninth Senatorial District until
two years ago. when Henry S. Martin took
hold and had it rebaptized 1.-THE Lin
coln." Since then the club has put forth
is power and will in the coming cam
paign play second fiddle to none in the
City.
To say that President Henry S. Martin
IS beloved by the boys of the beach would
simply be figurative expression OF speech.
He is the soul of the Native Sons and the
| great, big-hearted, genial com panion OF the
oldest of the old pioneers. To know Henry
/ S. Martin is to like him in the truest sense
/ of the term, and with those remarkable
! qualities of birth and cultivation the rank
and file of the Lincoln Club will do what
! ever their president wants, and all he
wants Just now is to elect every Republl-
/ can nominee from the President down to
] the last School Director on the municipal
1 ticket Possessed as he is with sufficient
| of the worlds goods his purse is as big as
his heart and he wants nothing in the
shape of office for the salary attached, but
| if the boys wish to honor him in some
other way he is Just as willing to serve
them in the capacity of Supervisor as he
is as their president.
The president, however, is not the only
man in the Second Ward, or, more prop
eriy speaking, the Fortyfourth Assembly
District, who holds Republicanism dear to
his heart Every one of the 800 members
of the Lincoln Club is just as enthusiastic
over the success of the party as is the
president.
The young men who so ably assist Presi-
dent Martin in governing the club are:
