Echoes of the Centennial are
sounding every day, as the testi-
mony of strangers who were here
at the time, comes back through
different channels. Not one criti-
cism has been heard, but all unite
in saying that it was the best cele-
bration they ever saw, and eX-
pressed themselves as particularly
well pleased with the parades Of
both days. We believe it can be
safely claimed that no town or city
in Pennsylvania ever had better
civic or fremIn's parade.

J. R. Fowler is making some i'm
provements at the Opera House.
The box Office has been changed
from the right to the left side and a
window cut through into the au-
dience room affording the ticket
seller a good view OF the stage.
Some alterations will also be made
on the stage and in the dressing
rooms. There has always been
more or less complaint made by
people who get into the Opera
House alter the performance has
started and find their seats taken.
Sometimes the occupant of seat
had no right there but frequently
there had been two checks issued
for the same seat. There will be
no further annoyance from this
source. as numbered tickets have
been purchased, aud as there will
be no marking to do when a seat IS
reserved, it will be almost impossi,
BILE to make a mistake. The system
is the same as used in the larger
cities and will no doubt give gooc
satisfaction. 1t will also put al
end to the dodge that is frequently
worked of retaining a check from
one show to another.

L. N. Meyer is realizing the fact
that the position of treasurer of the
Centennial Fund is no sinecure.
He was among the most active ones
in soliciting subscriptions, attended
all meetings of the committee when
in town, spent considerable time in
collecting the subscriptions, and
now his attention is often drawn
from his own business to draw
checks in payment of bills in set
tlement of centennial expenses.
Being one of our most progressive
and enterprising citizens, he has
given his time cheeriully and will
ingly, realizing that the movement
was for the good Of the town.

A Recalcitlant Princess.

In 1914 the prince regent of England,
afterward King George w., was anx-
ious to get lid of his daughter, Prin-
cess Charlotte, and engaged her to the
prince of Orange, afterward King Will
lam H. of the Netherlands. The prin-
cess, however, insisted on residing in
England. ThereupOn, on July II, her
father announced to her that all her
ladies would be changed. While he
was still in her house she ran down a
back staircase. called hackney cab
and drove to her mothers house Lord

her back. She screamed, kicked and
bounced, but would not go. Well, to
do my office as gently as could. told
her was sorry for it. but until she did
go, she would be obliged to entertain
us, as we would not leave her." At
last she went back in the duke of
YOrk's carriage at about 8 a. m. She
afterward married Prince Leopold, who
not only deprived the prince of Orange
of his intended bride. but afterward
took from him half of his kingdom Of

Walled the Professor In.

The story comes from Heidelberg
that one day last week a celebrated
university professor opened his front
door to 60 out and deliver his usual
lectures, when, to his establishment, he
found that he was walled in. A party
of students passing the professors
house during the night had noticed
new building in the course Of construc-
ton on the opposite side of the street.
They at once thought what a grand
joke it would be to wall their profess
sor up in his own house. They found
some bricklayers' tools in the new
building, carried bricks and mortar
across the road, and by daylight had
got a wall built across the professors
front door. The sequel to the story is
not told.-Chicag Post

and they came here hurriedly to COLI
fer with the speaker.
For twenty-four hours the friends of
Mr.. Henderson argued with him and
urged him to remain in the race. But
the speaker was adamant-he said his
mind was made up beyond recall.
General Regret Expressed.
The announcement was general
surprise to the Republicans of the
state, although it was known there
was considerable opposition to the
speaker, even before the convention
that nominated him.
From all sides came expressions Of
regret over the withdrawal, and the
hope is general that Mr.. Henderson
may yet be persuaded to reconsider
his action. 1t is felt by many that
the move is ill advised and may harm
the party by furnishing ammunition
to the Democrats.
From friends in Washington have
come protests against the refusal Of
the nomination by Mr.. Henderson, but
to all the speaker has turned a deaf
ear.

was not believed. 1t was considered
too improbable TO be true. The presi-

President Roosevelt fairly shouted

lison. There must be some mistake.
Henderson couldn't make such a fool
of himself"
When it was made clear that it was
indeed true Senator Allison sighed and
said:
1T is incomprehensible, absolutely
incomprehensible."
''This is the most extraordinary
thing that ever occurred in American
politics" said Henry c. Payne.
Then the party adjourned to dinner.
