DAVID TIE SHEPHERD Boy

Large audiences filled the Opera
House on Thursday and Friday even
ings of last week, to witness the rem
dltion of the sacred cantata of David,
the Shepherd Boy. All the parts
were we'll taken, the title role of
David being filled by Mr.. Frank
Colley, who sang and acted well.
Mrs. Elmer E. Melick as Abigail, the
Shepherd Queen, was fully up to her
usual high standard, and sang in ex-
cel!ent voice. The only disappoint-
ing part of her role was in that there
was not more of it. Miss Vida Miller
who had rehearsed the part Of Mich
ell was obliged to give up at the last
moment, because of severe cold,
and her place was very acceptably
filled by Misses Besse and Bowman,
who divided the work, having only a
few hours to prepare. The other
leading characters were Samuel, by
o. H. Yetter, Jesse by F. H. Ent,
Saul by C. C. Yetter, Elmer by F. P.
Eyer, Abner by S. R. Bidleman,
Messenger by Charles Skeer. The
choruses were very pretty and well
rendered, showing that much patient
work had been done by Mr.. F. N.
Turner, the musical director. There
were 60 adult voices and IS chlldren's
voices in the chorus. The music was
furnished by Miss Maude Runyon,
pianist, and Riffo's orchestra. The
costumes were pretty, some of them
being quite elaborate, and were sup
piled by the Keystone Costume Co.,
of Hazleton. Colored lights were
thrown on the stage by Prot. Dennis.
The management hope to clear near
ly $500. The entertainment was ex-
cellent throughout, and enjoyed by
all. At the close a patriotic tableau
was shown, and the audience cheered
while the orchestra played the Star
Spangled Banner.

Manila was enthusiastically received
in Bloomsbury. Word was telephon-
ed to Catawissa, Berwick and other
neighborlng towns to join in the cele.
bration of the glorious victory by
blowing the whistles and ringing the
church bells. Promptly at eight
o'clock all the whistles on the different

Bloomsbury has been besieged by
picture agents for the past two
weeks. People should keep their
eyes wide open when dealing with
these chaps, as they don't confne
themselves to honorable methods i'll

known to steal photographs, have
them enlarged, and take them to
the owner and demand pay fo- the
owner, saying they were ordered.
An instance of this kind occurred in
town last week.

Too Much For Watson.

Only once did Watson, when captain,
never fail to punish a man for intoxica-
ton. This was in the summer of 1898
at Boston, when the San Francisco
took the Massachusetts naval militia on
its first practice cruise. Among the
regular crew was old Alexander Parker,
sailmaker's mate, who was never known
to remain sober when there was liquor
to be had. When the naval militiamen
came on board witty boatswain s
mate while no officer was near, sang
out in an authoritative tone:
Cali you men having whisky on
board lay below and turn it in to the
sailmaker's mate for safe keeping.'
Many amateur sailors took the bait,
and in few minutes old Aleck, sit
ting down below decks in his sailroom,
was surprised to have vast collection
of TASKS passed to him. He received all
these as gifts with many thanks. He
was found day after sound asleep in
his sailroom, literally covered with
empty bottles of every size and shape.
He was finally taken before the captain,
to whom was told the circumstances.
Parker" said he sternly, II have nc
words with which to discuss your case.
Go forward New York Times.
