town, and j. S. Beddall and Daniel shepp, of
Tamauua.
Prior to the reading of the official docu-
ment Mr.. Fishburn was admitted to the pris-
oner's cell, and both were ON their knees in
fervent prayer. The voice of the prisoner
could be heard in the corridors, and the
listeners were deeply moved. Sheriff Scott
was the first to enter the cell and grasp the
prisoner by the hand and tell him of his
pleasant duty.
After the Sheriff concluded, Eisenhower
again grasped him by the hand and said
sheriff. thank you from my heart for
your kindness to me during nv imprison-
ment. l ask God to bless you and your
family and the families of my counsel.

Mention has already been made of the
prospect Of a fine musical treat likely to be
given in town. The arrangements have now
been completed and the event will occur on
Tuesday, December 2Sth, in Ferguson IS
theatre. The oratorio to be produced is
THE Holy City" which is a composition
full Of melodious music, and many numbers
are considered gems. The choir of the
Church Of the Nativity of Bethlehem, which
has so kindly consented to render the
oratorio, is a fine musical organization Of
forty male voices. highly trained under the
direction Of Prof. Ernest Daltry, has an
established reputation in the Lehigh valley.
and its productions of high class music are
always attended by large audiences Of lovers
of good music and it is more than probable
that large audience will greet them upon
their first appearance in Shenandoah. The
boy sopranos are reported to be the possesso1s
Of very sweet voices and those who attended
the esteddfod Of the Cambrian Society in
Pottsville on March 1st, 1896, when similar
choir carried of nearly all the prizes will be
able 20 appreciate the possibilities in the
choir. Their appearance here will be under
the direction of large and influential com.
mittee Of ladies and gentlemen interested in
musical affairs, which insures its success.
That good music is appreciated in town was
shown on several occasions of late when large
audiences were attracted to events of
musical nature, and as the production of an
entire oratorio is something new we have no
doubt it will draw the lovers of good music
in large numbers
