Tawney, of Minnesota, casually for the past two years, he never suspected him of being the same "Jim" Tawney who led the Reynoldsville band, until lie ideniifled himself last Friday. Although Mr. Smith has been In Congress almost two years, he had not before recognized his old band leader, and neither had the former band leader recognized his former pupil. The Iteynoldsville band under "Jim" Tawney's leadership,. was finite as wonderful nn Institution as such country bands usually are. Tawney was something of an expert on the cornet, according to the Reynoldsvillc standard of musical criticism. He could really play three or four pieces fairly well. Smith tooted on a barytone horn, but his repertoire was much more restricted. In fact, Smith felt very proud of being able to keep up with the rest of the band when It rendered Its favorite. known as "No. 13." Tawney, in those days, worked in the Reynoldsville machine shop. Smith was a typo.—Washington Post. Most of the old residents of Reynoldsville will remember "Jim" Tawney, the machinist who worked for D. J. Crowell and was the leader of the first brass band ever organized in that town. When Mr. Tawney left Reynoldsville in 1877 he went to Winona, Minnesota, where he was employed as a blacksmith and machinist until 1881, when he commenced the study of law, and soon made a reputation as an able lawyer. He was elected to the Minnesota Senate in 1890, and after serving one session was elected to Congress, and has been continuously reelected for fourteen years. He is one of the leaders in Congress, being selected as "Party Whip" by the Republican caucus, it being his duty to notify the Republican members when any important party measure is to come up, and to request them to be present. He is also an excellent parliamentarian and a clear and forceful speaker. 'Jim' Tawney's "Yes, slree," responded the Punxsutawney statesman, and forwlth there wus a reunion. "Ever live In Reynoldaville, Pa.?" "Yes," said Representative W. O. Smith, of Punxautawney, yesterday as he arose from a table in the House restaurant. The question put by Representative Tawney.of Minnesota, sitting at an adjoining table, surprised him. "Kver play band?" Arranging to (id to Brookville. Nixon & Zimmerman, the wellknown syndicate magnates, wellknown as the foremost producers in this line, have certainly met these demands in a most painstaking manner and with their dozen companies: Willard Spenser's Miss ltob White, Fay Tem plot on in The Runaways. A Chinese Honeymoon. Paula Edwars In Winsome Winnie, Irene Hen! ley in The Girl from Dixie, Mabel Gilman and her English company in Dolly Varden, the Gorman sensation. The Sweetest Girl. Francis Wilson and his all star cast in a sumptuous revival of Ermlnie, Jeff DeAngelis in The Toreador andt tillers have certainly suited pubfttf ftmir out and out with all their attractions which have proven record breakers in point of big business, and Miss Mob White, the delightful Spenser opera, which will appear here March s. cerainly heads the list in each and every point of merit. Seats on sale March Prices 25, 50, $1 nd fl.fiO The theatrical public during the past few weeks has been educated up to a standard of magnitude in theatrical productions that require a great deal of money on the part of the managers. and to wtn success in these times, dramatic productions must possess not only plot, merit and strength, but scenic equipment of real worth. An operatic product lotn not only takes merit and comedy, but a lavish scenic environment and a wealth of costumes. DO YOU HAVE CHILDREN Friday, March 3rd.

Monroe orchestra in Punxsutawney. The orchestra has a reputation that extends for many miles in every direction.

Every organization that ho has ever had anything to do with has been first-class, and the great reputation of the Punxsutawney orchestra, of which he is the leader, proves beyond a doubt that Mr. Monroe is sustaining his old repu| tation.—Coudersport Enterprise.

IN Torrence Block REU Last Saturday a change was made in the ownership of the Bradford Era whereby H. MeSweeney, president, and P. C. Boyle, general manager, stepped down and out in favor of D. A. Dennison. who succeeds Mr. MeSweeney ns president, and H. J. Bryan, who succeeds Mr. Boyle as manager. Mr. Dennison. who has been connected with the Kra for 17 years, most of the time ns its editor, has a wide reputation ns a writer and all round newspaper man. For years the Era's editorials mid literary features have attracted the attention of the profession and contributed largely to the success of the publication. Mr. Bryan has had charge of the business department of (lie Era for several years and his large list of advertising patrons and the general np- I pearance of the Era are trustworthy | evidences of successful management. The Ern is one of the best and most ably edited newspapers In the interior counties of the State and here's | prophesying that its shadow will nevi er grow less under its present management.■
