Owl Tea House
WAS GREATLY ENJOYED.
"Tlie ChaiMYims" Made a Hit With a
Large Audience,
In "The Chaperons" last night
Pendleton saw the first comic opera
that has chanced this way for a long
time, and it did Justice to the occa
sion by turning out In force. Though
It was a Sabbatb evening, every eat
was taken, and many were there
whOBe scruples would not permit of
them attending an ordinary show on
Sunday. And it was something worth
seeing, too, though some of the eriti
cal say that It was not as good as
some other comic operas that have
been played here in the past. From
the rise of the curtain to the drop
there was music, mirth, dancing and
ludicrous fun in quick succession,
with scarcely a moment wasted.
The experiences of Adam Hogg, the
rich American, in Paris, In his "of
ficial capacity" as president of the
society for the suppression of vice,
and also to find the lost seal from a
will, furnished a basis for the plot.
Falling In with the English and Con
tinental Order of Trained Chaperones,
he found things "not so bad," the
"sly and naughty chaperons", took a
strong professional Interest In him.
As the leader of the conservatory,
Ruth Lloyd played with a glad and
breezy naturalness that was good, and
kept the audience listening.
Like much comic opera there was
little to the plot of "The Chaper
ons." but lots of singing, graceful
dancing and laughing situations. In
all It made a fine evening's pastime,
and there was nothing that could be
objected to by the most refined un
less It was "The Whole Datum Fam
ily," which made the greatest hit of
all.

Fire demolished the White lodging
house at the foot of the Main street
hill, on Saturday evening. The fire Is
supposed to have been caused by the
explosion of a lump, und was first
discovered about 10 o'clock In the eve
ning. An alarm was at once turned in
and finally a general summons for
all of the fire companies was given.
Three hose companies nearest to the
configuration soon reached the scene,
but then- was some little delay In se
curing water, and the blaze hud been
going for some time before a streum
was turned on It. However, hard and
earnest work was done by the firemen
after they got In shape, und It Is due
to their efforts that the entire building
was not destroyed. Also, there was
some fear for a time that the house
of Mrs. StaiKlfleld, on the north side
of the house might also catch fire.
However. It did not, and the fire was
kept within the one huildlng, and was
put out before the lower story had

less, the entire building was demolish
ed, and will hardly be worth rebuild
ing. Also, practically all of the house
hold goods were lost.
The huildlng was owned by Messrs.
t'lurk and Wurman, neither of whom
were in town at the time. The build
ing was valued at I1SO0, und there
wus $1000 Insurunee on the same In
the Pennsylvania Fire Insurance,
company, which, according to J. M.
IJentley. the local agent, will about
meet the loss. The house was rented
to l. P. Mallnry, who curried a total
of SI 100 Insurance on his household
goods, which Is regarded as fully suf
ficient to cover the loss incurred by
him.

BAD BLOOD
INVITES DISEASE
The blood supplies nourishment and
strength to every part of the body when
it is rich, pure and healthy. When from
any cause it becomes diseased or weak it
cannot supply the nutriment the system
needs, and the lsxly is unable to resist the
diseases and troubles that are constantly
assailing it to break down the health.
