Entertainment.

looked-to event last evening--the entertain
ment in celebration of the twenty-nnth au-
nivcrsary of Washington Camp No. 1l2,

audience was a very large one, the entire
lower part of the house being filled and but
small portion of the gallery being vacant, al
though tickets of admission were distributed
only among members of the order for them
selves and families
The interior of the theatre was elaborately
decorated with American flags and bunting
and the stage was especially attractive Large
portraits of Washington, Lincoln, Garfield
and Mckinley with flag draperies figured
conspicuously. Two miniature camps aud the
handsome altar used by Camp 112 were also
among the decorations, all Of which had been
skillfully arranged by Mr.. S. l.. Brown
The Schoppe orchestra was in attendance
aud for about half an hour before the formal
opening of the entertainment discoursed
pot pourr of inspiring patriotic airs in its
usual artistic manner. At eight o'clock the
curtain was rung up and Mr.. b.
j, Yost. master of ceremonies, introduced
Rev. Robert O'Boyle, pastor of the
Trinity Reformed church, who offered
IN invocation. Mr. Yost then made a
brief reference to the object of the entertain
mcnt after which Prof. S. r. Ford, the
humOrist and impersonator, was introduced.

by the greeting accorded him as he made his
debut last evening. He gives refined en-
tertainment Of humor, pathos and song with
an ease and grace that at once captures an
audience. In delineations of negro charac-
ters he is especially clever. The balance of
the program was as follows Selections,
Mandolin club and Cooper and party; Mr..
/ Ford; violin and piano duet, Misses Millie
and Emma Zimmerman Mr.. Ford
/ selection, Prof. j. J. Price and party
tenor solo, Prof. William Waters; selection y

My Country 1is of Thee" by Prof Price
and party, the audience and orchestra join
ing in the chorus. Prof. Ford then carried
the entertainment to close, giving THE
Sermon" and The Choir" by request As a
whole the entertainment was very enjoy
able one, the home talent sharing in the
laures with the star attraction. The pro-
gram was well arranged and carried out
without a hitch The committee of arrange.

Special HERALD Correspondence.
Pottsville. May 5.--The court house officials
are indignant over the surcharges made
against them by the Taxpayers Association
aud declare the action is the result Of jug
Cling Of figures. They are emphatic in the
statement that the charges have tendency to
iuiuio their regulations, and one eN-ollicial
i, said to have consulted counsel with view
to bringing suit for damages to his character.
During the term of Clerk of the Courts
Shortall the very same question of sur
charges was raised by the County Auditors
aud the court then decided in his favor Mr..
Nhortal said this morning he believed the
court would deliver the same opinion ON this
question, as it was fully covered by the other
suit The surcharges in this case are made
by charging the fees against the receipts of
the office, whereas the fees are merely
charged to balance accounts and there is
really no money involved in the matter
