;^ Pear no man, and do justice to all men. *t WCKlXlk • A . -■ 1 Vol. Ill SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, APRIL 21, 1906 No. 34 ij BUSINESS MEN MEET. They Talk Over the Association Day, to Be Celebrated August 1. Other Matters Discussed. ' * About thirty members of the Sewickley Valley Business Men's Association assembled on Tuesday evening, the time for their regular meeting, in I. 0. 0. F. hall, on Broad street, and while the meeting was not convened until later than usual, it was none the less interesting: After the usual routine work had been disposed of the reports of several of the committees were presented. One report brought up the old question of "graft" that various persons have been trying to work on the merchants of our valley, and which will be, wherever, and whenever discovered, immediately exposed and the employer of the person who tries to play this game notified. It is simply a game of blackmail and consists of the coachman or butler agreeing to place the business of his employer with a certain tradesman for a certain per cent. This is not countenanced by the reputable business man, as in order to , pay the extra per cent, the merchant must charge a higher price for his goods, which of course the consumer must stand for. The report of the Civic Committee, concerning the Sewickley Valley Business'Men's Day, which is to be celebrated on the 1st of August, was then read. It provided various sub-committees for the arranging of the details, and from all appearances the day will be spent in a manner that will be a credit to the members and a source of much pleasure to the entire community. Sewickley Talent Displayed. Sewickley talent contributed a valuable part in the entertainment given under the auspices of the Economy Episcopal church, in the old Economy Music Hall, on Thursday evening. This entertainment comprised a musical and a farcf/entitled "An Interrupted Proposal/' The Sewickley High School ** Instrumental Club is credited with three good numbers on the program of the musical. The boys were given a splendid ovation, and those who heard their t music say the honors were well de- " served. Edgar McCabe is director of the club and Mr. H. it. Underwood pianist. A large company of Sewickley folk attended this entertainment. Sure, the Band Will Play. Sewickley Troop Band Has received Its New Instruments, And They Are Pine. The fine set of new instruments recently contracted for by Mr. W. R. White, leader of the Sewickley Troop Band, through the Conn Manufacturing Gompany arrived in Sewickley the other day and they are now in the hands of the musicians. There are ten new instruments, including a snare and base drum. The boys are to be congratulated for the diligent manner in which they labored to accomplish the procuring of these instruments, and they can rest assured that they will have the support of our citizens in recognition of the many favors received from this band in the past. Spectacular Blaze. The destruction of a large frame dwelling and several other smaller buildings by fire, at Laschel's landing, on Thursday night about ten o'clock, was quite a spectacular blaze as witnessed from this side of the river. The building was the old Laschel homestead and been unocupied for some time until recently, when a tenent moved in. The origin of the blaze could not be learned. Spotted Pever, A rumor was current on the streets on Thursday evening that a case of "spotted fever" haddevelop- ed inthe borough. The rumor could not be authenticated, but it was said to be a child whose parents resided on Beaver street. Would Change Style Of Writing. Mr. Frank A. Gooper is circulating a petition among the parents of the pupils of our public schools which, when he has a satisfactory number of signers, he will present to the School Board, asking that body to change the vertical hand, Style of writing in vogue in the schools, to the spencerian. Mr. Gooper presents various good reason for asking for this reform anp his petition is being well received. ■MWPI ii If The Finest Production Ever Produced Here by Local Talent. The large audiences which assembled in the Auditorium Thursday and Friday evenings to witness the production of the war-time drama "Shenandoah" did not see the usual work of amateurs, but rather the work of professional performers. For home talent it could not be surpassed. The staging, the scenic effects and the music of the well-known Gernet orchestra were in accord with the fine work of the entire cast. John B. Booth as "General Haverill," Harry H. Fair as "Colonel Ker- chival West" and Harris C. Allen as "Captain Heartsease" presented their parts with an ease that won words of praise. The scene at the death of "Lieutenant Frank Bedloe," showed some clever acting by Mr. Alexander Hays, who played the part. Mrs. De- Witt B. Nettleton as "Gertrude Ellingham" did some very clever work in this pathetic scene and in fact throughout the drama. Mr. Charles Richardson as "Major General Frank Buckthorn" presented a soldierly appearance and was well received, as were Messrs. Harry M. Richardson, Daniel F. Crane and W. D. N. Rogers, who very ably carried out the part of "Captain Thornton," of the secret service C. S. A. The other male members of the cast are deserving of considerable credit for the manner in which they acquitted themselves. The action, life and well-spoken lines of the ladies who took part in the drama more than pleased the large audiences, and their work was beyond compare. Mrs. George P. Rose as "Mrs. Constance Haverill" and Miss Annie Semple as "Mrs. Edith Haverill" presented two characters in a manner that could not be improved upon. A better choice for the part of "Madeline West" could not have been made than that of Miss S. Adele Shaw, whose acting filled all the requirements of the role and won much favorable comment. Miss Janet Stuart was right in the front rank for favors as "Jenny Buckthorn," TJ. S. A,, Mrs, Richmond T. Ball as "Old Margery" and Miss Jane C. Blair in the role of "Jeannette" came in for no small share of the honors. There are others who are deserving of special mention in connection with this enterprise, and they are those who handled the business end and promoted this worthy project. Messrs. Gilbert A. Hays and A. C. Walker worked untiringly in this matter and the success of the affair should be a source of gratification to them. The large audiences demonstrated the fact that the citizens of the Valley were in accord with them in their efforts to have the soldiers' monument in the cemetery improved by the addition of two large cannon which will ever stand as a tribute of esteem to the brave lads who died for their country and now peacefully sleep in our cemetery. Petition to Pave Centennial Avenue. A petition is being circulated among the property owners of Centennial avenue for the purpose of asking Council to pave that thoroughfare. The petition asks that the borough stand one-third of the expense in connection with the improvement and that a substantial brick pavement be put down. This street is in sore need of improvement of some kind. During the soft weather, and at other times, the street is almost impassable. There seems to be an objection by some of the property owners to a brick pavement on account of the noise, while some others do not favor the project at all. The promotors of the petition have the assurance, however, of being successful in their efforts to get the required number of names on their paper. Men's Meeting. Mr. John B. DeMotte will speak to all the men of Sewickley in the Y. M. C. A. to-morrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. His subject will be "Service Means Sacrifice." Mr. DeMotte has a message for men. A double male quartette will furnish the music. Births and Deaths. Statistics in the matter of births and deaths in the borough of Sewickley indicate that, despite the very unhealthy period of the past few months, the number of those coming and those going are nearly equal. The borough register's list is as follows: For the months of January, February and March, 1906, births, 16; deaths, 19. Words of Commendation. The two lectures recently given by Mr. John Davey, one under the auspices of the Civic Club, in Philadelphia, and the other at Huntingdon, Pa., pleased two large audiences and have brought forth words of commendation for Mr. Davey and his work. The lectures were illustrated by about 150 photographs, and are highly recommended by prominent people in both cities, « ah \t *1 h M I.
