The company seems to be in earnest about building the road. Its engineers took a survey of the upper nnrt of Main Street last week. The nthpr draft of art ordinance was m-nspnred bv ex-Mayor Fred E. Lewis of Allentown, who represents the Schuylkill Valley xeiepnone company.

The company is saf.snea w.m any street or alley the borough, Tamers may see lit assign for the purpose and in willine to nay an annual tax or 50 cents per pole. The proposition was favorably received by the Council.

WILL MEET AT GETTYSBURG NEXT WEEK. With the session of Jie Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows now but little more than a week distant, interest in the election for grand secretary, to be held on the floor of the Grand Lodge, shows no sign of abatement. Grand Master William H. Rose has made a vigorous canvass for office and is as sured of a strong following, although from present indications it seems that an effort will be made to weaken his candidacy at Gettysburg by alleging that as grand master he will be in eligible for nomination for the office of grand secretary. Whether these technical objections will be sustained by the representatives to the Grand Lodge remains to be seen.

Another candidate with a considerable following is George Haw- kes, whose election would create a va cancy in the office of grand represen tative and thus give P. G. M. H. L.

Neall an opportunity to gratify a long standing ambition. Should it be ap parent that Brother Rose will be shut out by technical objections, and that Brother Hawkes cannot develop sufficient strength to win, then it is believ- that the present incumbent, Harry L. Neall, will be brought forth as a fight ing candidate for the succession. These complications, together with the vari ous booms of rural candidates, will insure a lively and protracted session for the 1200 to 1500 delegates who will doubtless assem'ble in Gettysburg on May 21. With this meeting of the Grand Lodge W.

K. Mohr of Allentown will become grand master of Pennsylvania. DRY CAMPAIGN IM BERKS- ANTI-TREATING PLEDGE OF 35 CANDIDATES BEING ENFORCED RIGOROUSLY. Saloonkeepers and landlords of Berks are up in arms against the "anti-treat combine" of the 35 political candidates now in the field for county offices. Brewers are also displeased.

Heretofore a beer bill of $1000 for a leading candidate was not uncommon. Now there is no beer, no whiskey, in fact nothing at all 'in the way of treats for votes. The candidates can enter safely and freely the largest barrooms filled with voters and need not "set 'em up" for the boys simply because "they all agreed not to treat," and any violation of this agreement will result in throwing the candidate's name oft the ticket entirely. This agreement has served to make the campaign very dry, where hereto fore it has been extremely wet. There is no treating done on the sly among near friends, but the greatest care is necessary.

Candidates under the Crawford County system travel the entire district soliciting votes. Many go on foot. Instead of seeing friends at country inns, as they did when the treating system was in full force, the candidates now see the voters of the rural districts in the fields or in the barn or wherever they may be at work. The usual barrel of beer behind the barn on Sunday has been done away with entirely. The candidates for leading offiops heretofore sent out beer by the wagon lo.t.l on Saturdays for Sunday drinking and many cases fight ing.

This extra cost and evil practice is now a thing cf the past. The stoppage of the rip'lar weekday treating over the bar has made severe Inroads on the receipts of the suburban land lords. READING'S COAL OUTPUT- COMPANY'S 39 COLLIERIES WILL RUN FULL TIME THIS SUMMER. It has been given out as coming from President Baer of the Philadelphia Reading Coal and Iron Comany that all the collieries, 39 in number, operated by that corporation, will be worked full time this summer in order to make un the company's tonnage for the summer. Tho company's output per year averages 9.000.000 tons.

It is said that it is the intention to Increase this output to 12,000,000. It is also said that the Wyoming re gion is falling off in production and that the Reading Company will have to make up for this loss by working the Schuylkill County collieries to a greater capacity.

THE ENTIRE TOWN WILL ASSIST Glorious nuslcal History of Bethlehem of Which the Moravian Church is the CenterOctogenarian Trombonist.

In less than a fortnight Bethlehem will put on its best, set its house in order, air the guest chambers and give itself up for three days to the enjoy ment of Bach through the medium of his great choral works the Christmas oratorio, the St. Matthew passion mu sic and the colossal mass in minor Musicians from all over the United States will turn thl3 historic Mora vian town as the world turns to Bay-reuth In season, and, from the present outlook, the Bach festival days, May 23, 24, will be unique in the musi cal history of the country, as the inter pretation of these works under the direction of J. Fred Wolle, director and Instructor of the Bach Choir, in the matter of chorus, orchestra and solo ists, promises to be a great artistic sue cess. Mr. Wolle is leaving no stone un turned to make the musical appeal con vincing.

Rehearsals are assiduous, and, by reason of the drill, the chorus, upon which so much depends, can be depended upon to meet all the emer gencies of Bach's music. The director is loyally supported by the Bach Choir Association, the leading spirit in which is Mrs. W. E. Doster, wno is the originator of the movement.

The organization has many active workers, among them being M. J. Shimer and Dr. William Frederick Bade of the faculty of the Moravian College and Theological Seminary, who is the historian of the choir, as well as being a fine bass singer. THE BACH CHOIR.

In full the organization runs as follows: Executive Committee R. S. Hillman, president; W. S. Franklin, vice president; Mrs.

W. E. Doster, corresponding secretary i Howard J. Wiegner, recording secretary; M. J.

Shimer, treasurer; Clinton F. Zerweck, librarian. Committee on Membership Miss Lucy A. Brickenstein, Miss Martha II. Wunderling, Miss Evelyn Chandler, Miss Helen E.

Shields, E. H. Wilhelm, F. A. Sterling, S.

A. Ham-mar. Press Committee M. J. Shimer, chairman.

Advertising Committee R. R. Hillman, chairman. Committee on Printing Clinton F. Zerweck, chairman.

Committee on Program Dr. W. F. Bade, chairman. Reception Committee F.

A. Sterling, chairman. Committee on Accommodation Clinton F. Zerweck, chairman. To give point to the significance of the music sung, Mr.

Wolle has arranged to have the dresses of the ladles harmonize with the spirit of each work to be sung. For the Christmas oratorio the ladies will dress in pure white, for the passion music, pure black, and anything light and gay for the mass. The white of course symbolizes the purity of Christmas joy, the black is to emphasize the contrast between this joy and the gloom of Good Friday, the passion music having been written for and first given on Good Friday. Moreover, many Moravians in Germany wear black throughout passion week, and all without exception wear it to communion. Finally the contrast in dress is to be as great between this gloom of Friday and the more joyful occasion of Saturday as is possible, since from every point of view Saturday i9 the gala occasion.

Bethlehem takes very naturally to all this Bach furore since it has an interesting musical 'history. Almost from the very date of its founding, in 1741, the art of music found enthusiastic and able promoteVs in this Moravian community. Benjamin Franklin's unreserved praise of what he heard in the Moravian Church there in 1756 indicates that the best musical talent of community developed in connection with the services of the Moravian Church. Although the little village of 150 years ago has grown to the proportions of a city.this church still is the center of its musical actiyities. In 1803 was erected the present edifice which was then one the largest auditoriums in the country.

During the early part of the 19th century a large number of choral works by such composers as Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Schumann, Beethoven and many- others were given there. How many of these works received their first Ameri can performance there is not definitely known. It is certain, however, that Haydn's "Creation" was performed in Bethlehem for the first time in Ameri ca in 1811, eight years before the next performance, which was given by the Handel and Haydn Society of Boston A well-trained orchestra existed in Bethlehem in 17S0. The names of all the performers are on record. The or chestra included all the instruments then used in European orchestras, though some of the instruments like the trombone and bassoon were novelties on this side.

Emmanuel Nitsch- mann, born in 172S, brought along from Europe the first copies of Haydn's quartets and symphonies, and there is a reason to believe that Joseph Haydn, the great composer, was indirectly in communication with the Moravian musicians in Bethlehem. At any rate John Antes, a prominent Bethlehem musician and composer, made the acquaintance of Haydn in Vienna. A viola and a vlollncello made by Antes are still in existence. The musical library of the Moravian hurch in Bethlehem is a remarka bly large and well-selected one. Many compositions are the autograph manuscripts of the composer.

With this historic background it was natural that the first Bach festival of last year when the minor mass was sung should be popular locally. SOME OLD-TIMERS. Moreover Mr. Wolli's enthusiasm is easy to explain, since he is the grandson of old Jedediah AVciss, who was a central figure In Bethlehem musical circles for years. He was a famous basso and also belonged to the choir of trombonists, in which he played the basstrombone, and to the old Philhar monic Society.

With his musical brethren of Bethlehem he was frequently heard by Philadelphia audiences, when famous oratorios were rendered in concerts given In that city in the years gone by. Mr. Weiss also played the bassoon and the violin. The trombone choir he belonged to, composed of Charles F. Beckel, Charles L.

Knauss, Charles N. Beckel, George M. Beckel and Ambrose II. Rauch, was one of the most famous ever connected with the Moravian Church. To-day there is one lone survivor of the group, who still does his duty, though he is S3 years old.

This Rev. Mr. Shirty Gives' 15 fcasoni Why it is Sinful. NOTABLE SERMON IN BETHANY Decided Difference Between the Dance of the Ancients and the Social Dance of To-day Church 0 Filled to the Doors. Rev.

J. H. Shirey, pastor of Bethany United Evangelical Church, last evening preached on "Dancing." The auditorium of the church was filled to the doors, many visitors being in the audience. The texts for the sermon were taken from 2 Samuel, 6:14: "David danced before the Lord," and St. Mat-they 14:6: "The daughter of Herodi-as danoed before said in part 'vrhere is a heart-felt joyful dance before the lLord which though it may provoke the reproaches of the irreligious is decidedly right and there is a silly intoxicated whirl before the He-rods of worldliness and passion which is upheld by certain would-be reformers and is emphatically wrong.

There was an ancient dance which was religious and sacramental a dance which was intended to express highest joy and holiness as commemorative of some special token of divino favor. It was after this fashion that Miriam danced to her song of triumph when Israel passed dryshod through the Dead Sea. It was after this fashion that David danced before the Lord at the bringing up of the ark of the covenant. "But there is a decided difference between the 'dance of the ancients and the modern? social dance; the cred dance of the ancients was performed in the open air; the Jews danced by separate sexes and so in this it was wholly different from the modern society dance. The fact is the pleasure of dancing springs from consciousness of sex; c.

the dance of the Bible was performed in regular walking and skipping procession and in this respect differs from the silly scenes of the modern dance; dancing as an en. tertainment in private society was performed mostly by professional dancers and not by the company themselves. Cicero said no man dances unless he be drunk or mad. The modern dance has its origin in paganism and is not of God given instinct as so sophisti-" cally claimed but is the offspring of man's natural depravity. "This dance conceived itself in very early times with the putrefying wor- ship of false gods.

The church of Christ through her highest councils and holiest men always spoke with emphasis ag'aint the evils of dancing." Here the pastor quoted the utterances of a number of prominent church men and councils. Fr-im this part of the sermon Rev. Shirey answered the question which seems perplex some: "May Christians dance?" "Let the question be fairly and fully understood," he said, "rot may church members or those who profess religion dance, but may Christians dance? In answering this question let us rid ourselves of all human opinion and let the word of God on a broad basis, which is laid down for the regulation of conduct, answer. According to this teaching Christians may not dance, first, because dancing has an appearance of evil, this fact Is not denied by its most enthusiastic defenders, but the command of the new testament is 'abstain from all appearances of second, Christians may not dance because dancing is a wordly amusement. The modern so- ciety dance is 'professedly worldly in Its origin, associations and tendencies and the word of God says: 'Love cot the world neither the things that are In the and: Know ye not that friendship, not of the world, is of God, whosoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of anl, again: 'Pure religion and undefined before God and thf father is to keep oneself unspotted from the world may not dance because it is an in-Jury to the body the temple of God.

i "In answer to the claim that dancing is a healthful exercise I could sum. mon the highest medical authority to prove the contrary. The word of Gd declares: 'Know ye not ye are the of God and that the spirit of God dwelleth In you? If any man defile the temple of God him shall God destroy, for the temple of God is holy, which tomple ye Have you ever known any one to engage in the modern dance out of regard for the glory of God? Participation in dancing- invariably lessens the Christian's influence for good. It is a fact that people of the world who advocate dancin" nevertheless, in their heart of hearts, disapprove of professed Christians engaging in it. If, for instance, a minister should so far forget himself as to engage with the irreligious worldlings in this form of pleasure, what would become of his Influence as a minister? But we are all under equal moral obligations to abstain from that which is evil.

Any one who becomes conscious of sin and desires to find the way, of life and sal- vation would not seek advice at the hands of a dancing Christian. If. you would have influence for good and God you must desist from running in the same excess of riot with he children of disobedience, and let your light so shine that men may see your good works and glorify your father which is in Shirey closed his sermon with the following fifteen well-known facts about dancing. 1. "It is a fact that dancing is heathenistic and that to-day the less of civilization the nation has the more does it engage in the dance.

2. "It Is a fact that much valuable time is lost and imuch hard earned money wasted in this species of revelry. 3. "It is a fact that Jesus Christ, the twelve apostles, and the early Christians never danced. 4.

"It is a fact that it requires no intelligence and no virtue to dance well. 6. "It is a fact that modern dancing, however well done, adds no worth to character, and no dignity to manhood and womanhood. 6. "It is a fact that mixed danc'ng becomes extremely fascinating, because of the freedom which it allows between the sexes.

7. "It is a fact that dancing creates Jealousies between man and wife and between lover and lover. 8. "Jit is a fact that young ladies familiarities on the dance floor which public sentiment universally condemns as dangerous to purity and Virtue. 9.

"It is a fact that many people have been ruined by attending dances. The chief of police of New York city. time tigo, that three-fourths Retail Dry Goois, etc. See the rugs at $1.39 and Sl.69. Prices can't give you a third adequate idea.

Its cheap at 45o. is Mr. Rauch, who for 60 years has been a soprano-trombonist in the choir. With the agility of youth Mr. liaueh still climbs the tedious stairways leading to the Moravian Church steeple, when the trombonists announce by playing the chorales the death of a member of the congregation or the advent of a church festival day.

He attends all funerals of church members, on -which occasions the trombones are used. He will again assist this year as he did last year at the Bach festival by announcing with the trombone choir each day's performance from the belfry of the church. With young and old entering into the spirit of work, three generations of Bethlehem's musical leaders taking part in the festival, the local conditions that insure the success of the celebration are made clear. READY TO SHOOT. STATE SPORTSMEN WILL BEGIN TO ARRIVE IN ALLENTOWN" TO-MORROW.

The big shoot under the auspices of tho State Sportsmen's Association of Pennsylvania will be held at the Duck Farm grounds this week. All the arrangements are perfect. The committee in charge of the shoot has decided to eliminate as many of the dangers as possible that surround such an event. During the former events of the nature many people have put themselves in danger of loss of life or limb by being in the vicinity of the shoot for no good reasons. The management has, therefore, decided to allow no boys in the vicinity of the shoot, nor will any people be allowed to "bushwhack" or in any way trespass on the surrounding property.

For those who desire to see the shoot, though not participating, the upper story of the pavilion will be put into service. From this an excellent view can be had and danger can result. Shooters and others can bi-ing their wives and be perfectly assured of their safety. For those who desire to remain in the pavilion for a considerable time, meals will be served. The AliHTitown Kutztown Traction Company will have a five-minute service from Center Square to the grounds all week.
