| II all the entertainments to be Civ.
en- by the Lewistown Lecture club are
/ of the same high standard as that
furnished by the Imperial Quartet
last night, then the members of the
club and the public generally will
have cause to rejoice. 1t is doubtful
indeed, if more meriterious perfor.
nance has ever been given here. This
was not due so much to any surpas-
sing excellence of the individual mem
bers of the quartet, but to their al
most perfect work as an organization
the great variety in the numbers and
the exquisite work of Miss Beckwith,
the reader. From the first number to
the last the artists had the favor of
the big audience and more encores
than are usual we're permitted. In ad-
dition to the quartet work there were
three fine solos and a duet and each
number seemed to be in contrast with
what had preceded it. Miss Beckwith
is reader of rare talent, exceeding,
perhaps in the humorous. At all
events, the conversation between the
Smith boy and the Brown boy was
about the funniest thing ever heard
at the opera house. An audience that
taxed the capacity Of the hall greeted
the performers, and all were delight
ed with the entertainment.
Rev. Francis Van Clarenbeck, fol
nearly two years past priest in charge
of st. Leo's Catholic church here
preached his farewell sermon Sunday
morning. There was a very large con
gregation, and the remarks of the faith
er made deep impression on his hear
ers. Sunday evening, farewell re
ception was given at Foresters' hal
in honor of Father Van Clarenbeck
nearly all the members of the congre
CATION being in attendance. In the
course of the evening, DR.. Foley madf
short address, and presented Il
Father Van Clarenbeck a copy OF re-
olutiors adopted by the congregation
in which their deep love for the father
their appreciation of his faithful ef
forts and their regret at his departure
were fittingly expressed. Father var
Clarenbeck made feeling reply, anC
said that when he left the old countr,
, to take up the work OF the church II
the new, he did not feel more regre
over his departure than he did at th'
thought of leaving Lewistown. Othe
, addresses we're made, and the receI
ton gave all chance to say goo
bye to the priest. Father Van Claren
beck will leave Thursday morning TO
t the old country, where he will atten'
to an estate that has been left him
After closing up that business, he viii
return to the United States and re
sumo his work, but probably in som
other diocese.
