SOME MORE BUMPS FOR THE "COMMON PEOPLE"
' !
' GAS OCTOPUS—Yes, King, he looks a bit jaded; we pressed him rather hard this winter, but it was necessary as
we need the money for that awful floating debt.
ICE KING—Never mind excuses "Oc" old boy; just hand' me the reins, I'll jolly him.   He looks good to me.
The Cantata.
At the last rehearsal of the Cantata
of Belshazzar that was held iii the
chapel of the M. E. church the chorus
was divided into their respective parts,
namely, Babylonians and Jews. The
choruses were sung with a great deal of
energy, which speaks well for the
presentation of the work.
Mr; Herman G. Hurlebaus, who takes
the part of Daniel, was a pupil of Prof.
Myers," of New York, is now solo bass
in the First Presbyterian church Of
Wilkinsburg, formerly solo bass in the
Euclid Avenue Baptist church of Cleveland, (Pvockefeller'schurch).   Mr. Hur
lebaus has a splendid dramatic voice
and anyone failing to hear him in his
presentation of Daniel, a prophet of the
J,ews,- will make a great mistake. Mr.
Charles Martin who takes the part of
Festus, needs no introduction to a Sewickley audience, and there is no doubt
but that in the part of Festus, his
pleasing sympathetic voice will be
heard to great advantage.
The next rehearsal Will be held next
Thursday, April 4, at 7.30, in the chapel
of the Methodist Episcopal church.
