Improved Mail Service.

With the opening of the new Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsbnrg branch from Al.
legheny to Reynoldsville, new field
opens for the railway mail service
Tuesday this matter was being consid-
cred by Superintendent Mcconnell Of
Pittsburg, Of the railway mail service,
and he stated that he was preparing Il
report on the matter to the Washing
ton officials.
From Butler TO Reynoldsville the
new railroad passes through territory
that has heretofore never had any other
than the star route service, where car
riers on horse back and the old stage
coach method were utilized. The post
offices reached were North Point, Day
ton, Echo, Mosgrove, Cowansville,
Craigsville and Fennellton, and they
received their mail through the Kittan-
ming postoffice, where it was distributed.
Under the plan proposed by utilizing
the new Buffalo, Rochester& & Pittsburg
line these postofiices will have direct
mail connection by rail with Pittsburg
and under time schedule that is well
adapted to the temporary needs Of the
service. There is train leaving Reyn-
oldsville at 7.15 o'clock in the morning
and reaching Allegheny at 100 o'clock,
which will permit the delivery of mail
from the points named by noon in Ale
gheny. A train out of Allegheny will
deliver mail on the new route In the
evening and will give business men
prompt service to the heretofore isola'
ted but important territory. .--Kittan-

The Irene Taylor Company.

This popular organization held the
boards at the opera house Monday,

were our theatre-going people more
satisfied with the entertainment fur
nished. The company is composed Of
most excellent people and their con-
duct both on and off the stage gained
for them a host of friends in Clearfeld
Miss Irene Taylor, the leading lady, is
an actress of rare ability, and her por-
trayal OF the different parts assigned
her was indeed very fine. She was
most ably assisted by Mr.. Drew, in fact
.their work was above criticism. The
work OF the other members of the com
pany was thoroughly in keeping with
the high character Of that Of the stars,
and every part was ably taken care Of,
the best features OF the show was the
speciality work of the two Dees. They
are certainly artists in their line and
are a whole show IN themselves. Mas
ter Willie Forman is also very much
alright as an entertainer, and taken as
whole the organization is hard to
beat, and we feel no hesitancy In saying
that the universal opinion of our people
was that the Irene Taylor Co. was the
best popular priced show ever seen in
the town. They will always be sure OF

of his visit Mr.. Blashki said:
II am simply appalled, by what have

Mr.. Green, on board ship coming from

its great scope, but assure you | eX-
