tterestlng Itoms From Various Points In
tha County, Reported by Our Staff ol
Correspondents.
East Benton.
Mrs. Aaron Bender, of Bendertown,
was last Sunday lying at the point of
death. jhe has arrived at the ad
vanced age of 80 years.
There will be an entertainment at
St. James week from next Saturday
night, under the auspices of the
Christian JEndeavor.
There was a Christmas tree for the
benefit of the .Sunday school at Hani
iline last Satuciay night. The exer
cises consisted in the distribution of
gifts.
The most remarkable of all winter
months, December of 1894 beats
them all for moderation.
Winter graiu shows every evidence
of uninterrupted growth by reason of
the mildness of the winter.
For the last week robins were
chirping in the woods, thus reminding
us of the first notes of summer birds.
Farmers have been plowing right
along all winter preparatory for spring
planting.
Auother plant of industry has fully
developed at Jonestown in the form
of "Roller Process Milling Co.,"
Kimble & Thomas, proprietors.
We are informed that the paper
mill at Stillwater is now ready for
operation. The upper end will soon
rank with any other locality in point
of market and industry.
Originally there were three impor
tant events in the history of a man's
life birth, marriage and death. Now
there appears to be five birth, mar
riage, divorce, remarriage, abscond.
S. P. Krickbaum is still sorely
afflicted with rheumatism.
A little daughter of J. F. Ashelman
is complaining ill.
Evidently our public schools are
running smoothly, as we hear no com
plaints from any quarter.
The old gum boots hunter did not
make his appearance this fall, but the
tortoise hunter did.
All the signs of a hard winter have
thus far proven futile, but there is
another coming, viz ; "Ground Hog
Day," which is equally as great a
humbug.
A person's honor consists in the
manner he disposes of the obligations
that devolve upon him in all the
vicissitudes of life. And in the man
ner and to the extent he disgorges
the duties he owes to a community, a
society, a neighbor, a family, an in
dividual, or any other, and all objects
that may have a claim upon his atten
tion as a part or parcel in common
for the welfare and advancement of
the common interest of one and all,
individually or collectively. The
shirking of responsibility, the neglect
ing of the payment of honest debts,
are index boards by which a commu
nity have a right to judge the honor
and character of any man among
their number.
A Tear With Popular Authors.
Nearly all the most popular authors
seem to have been drawn upon by the
editor of The Ladiei Home Journal
to insure for his readers a particularly
interesting year during 1895. Jerome
K. Jerome, for example, will resume
his role of an "Idle Fellow" for the
benefit of American girls and women
in a series of articles; Bret Harte
will have a new love story, while
Frank R. Stockton has given the
Journal not less than three of his
quaintest and drollest short tales;
Mrs. Burton Harrison will write on
correct deportment and usages of
good society, while Mrs. A. D. T.
Whitney is to write to girls on mar
riage and dress; Madame Nordica
and Jessie Bartlett Davis will tell of
the care of the voice ; Mr. Howells
will continue his successful literary
autobiography; Dr. Parkhurst, the
famous New York preacher, will write
his first series of articles for women
on the questions of the day which
women are thinking about ; Edward
Bellamy will add a chapter to his
"Looking Backward" ; Eugene Field,
Bill Nye, John Kendrick Bangs and
Robert J. Burdette will supply the
humor; Conan Doyle will give his
views of "The Literary Side of Amer
ica" ; Frances Hodgson Burnett, the 1
late Jane Austin, Julia Magruder and
Elizabeth Bellamy will supply novel
ettes ; Kate Greenaway is to draw
her quaint little tots of women for the
first time for a magazine, while Pal
mer Cox will supply some new
"Brownies"; a unique article on
"Mrs. Shakespeare" will present all
that is known of Shakespeare's wife ;
Margaret Deland, Sarah Orne Jewett
and Mrs. Burton Harrison will discuss
"When Lady: When Woman,"
when those terms should be used ;
E. S. Martin is going to tell "Where
was theGarden of Eden ?" ; Reginald
de Koven has given his new sor.g,
while other famous composers will
also be represented by songs, marches
and waltzes. And in this representa
tive manner, The Ladies" Home
Journal will really cover every inter
esting phase of contemporary life,
especially that of woman. The mag
azine will indeed be worth having
during the new year.
Too Great a Gape.
Mary Nichols, an aged woman, of
Philadelphia, recently dislocated her
jaw while gaping. Others considered,
there seems to be something unusual
the matter with this woman's jaw.
When taken to the hospital where
her case was properly diagnosed, it
was suggested as a means to prevent
the danger of lockjaw that the old
lady be muzzled in such a way that
she could take a half a gape instead
of a whole one in the future. Ladies
with open countenances will please
take warning.
The Shortest Say.
The 2 1 st in st. was the shortest day
ot the year, the actual time between
sunrise and sunset being 9 hours and
20 minutes. The days will increase
in length but slowly for some time
A month hence, on Jan. 21, the sun
will come in view but one minute
earlier, and sink beneath our sight 34
minutes later, making the difference
only 35 minutes, ihen, nowever,
daylight will rapidly lengthen.

THE DINING OAR.
A modern dining car says Kale
Field, is of the most approved pattern
and costs $15,000 to build. Next comes
the kitchen utensils, the table furniture,
the silverware and linen averaging
about f3,ooo worth to a car. Each
car must have a steward, who usually
gets 1 100 a month, and a head cook
who values himself at $75 a month.
There must also be one or two as
sistant cooks and three or four waiters.
Three hundred dollars a month is the
very smallest outlay for wages, while
the cost of raw food material, break
age of dishes and the board of em
ployes is about $3,000 per month ad
ditional. An average days' run costs
very nearly $600 for food and service,
so that it would take 400 persons at
$1.50 a meal on the run to pay .the
daily expenses, without allowing any
thing for interest on the investment or
for wear and tear on the furnishings.
I he kitchen of a dining car con
tains every convenience except room.
This is a range capable of doing all
the boiling, broiling, baking and
stewing for hundreds of people, yet
occupying comparatively no space at
all. There is a board for the carver,
a bin and table for the baker and a
sink for the dish-washer, with shelves
and cupboards innumerable for dishes
and imperishable supplies all in an
area of five by twelve feet, at most.
Every inch of space is carefully uti
lized. Under the car is the cellar or
refrigerator, where ice, beef, mutton,
poultry, milk, butter and other perish
able supplies are kept.
1 he steward, who is in charge of all
this, must be a good guesser. To be
sure the dining car is run on the prin
ciple that no money will be made
anyway ; that one road must run it
because a competing road does ; that
the traveller must, therefore, have
the best in the market, for a fair price,
and that it is better to throw away un
used and spoiled material at the end
of a trip than to run out of some nec
essary on the way ; yet I imagine that
the steward who has the lowest aver
age of wasted food stands highest in
his employer's regard.
The first thing he has to do is to
make out the bills of fare for the trip.
These must be approved by the head
of the commissary department. The
chef buys the necessary supplies, but
the steward has to turn in an inven
tory of them at the starting point, and
also a statement of what has been
used en route, and what is left at the
end of the run. There is ro method
of estimating the exact number of
meals that will need to be served dur
ing a run, particularly if it be a short
one. Suppose it is to be made from
Washington to New York. Individual
methods of economy are very different.
While some prefer to pay $1.25 for
the extra comfort of a seat in a parlor
car, there are others who think the
common coach good enough and
prefer to spend their dollar ir the
dining car Again, there are some who
frequent both parlor and diner, and
others who care for neither. For a
long journey, every berth in the
sleeper may be occupied, and yet the
dining-car may be practically tenant
ess, or the sleeper may be nearly
empty and the diner full of people
from the day coach," or it may be
crowded with the occupants of both.
As the steward goes through the train
on a tour of inspection or in giving
his first call for a meal he must note
the number of lunch boxes and guess
from the faces and dress of the pas
sengers how many orders he will have.
But even his best judgment may be
far out of the way, for the lunch box
may be fur a next day's light repast,
or some of the best dressed passengers
may not have decided whether to pa
tronize the dining car or not.
EIGHTH PAOE ESSAYS.
no. 4.
In the last campaign the record of
Columbia county remains to be made
up.
The chairman, Wm. Chrisman, or
ganized and arranged for a series of
meetings m the county as follows:
Light Street, Millville, Rohrsburg,
Centralia, Locust Dale, Elk Grove,
Diltz's School House, Numidia, Jer
seytown, Grovania, Mill Grove, Main
ville, Montana, Mifflinville, Bear Gap,
Waller, Shuman's Hotel, Orangeville,
Dcrr's, Catawissa, Iletlerville, Swamp
School House, Stonytown, Canby,
Espy, Bendertown, Benton, Jameson
City, Miller's Hotel, Stillwater, Forks,
Eyers Grove, Buckhorn, Tine Sum
mit, Mid Valley, Berwick and Blooms
burg. The following named gentlemen
comprised the corps of speakers who
addressed the meetings, to-wit : Wm.
Chrisman, Thomas B. Hanly, Fred.
Ikelcr, John G. Harman, R. G. F.
Kashinka, A. L. Fritz, E. M. Tewks
bury, Grant Herring, Wm. H. Rhawn,
C. A. Small, E. J. Flynn, C. R. Buck
alew, B. Rush Zarr, Robert Bucking
ham, John G. McIIenry, W. H. Sny
der, W. T. Creasy, W. A. Evert,
John G. Freeze, and at the Blooms
burg meeting James B. Beck, of
Philadelphia.
The meetings were, in the main,
well attended, and the audiences were
attentive and enthusiastic. Banners
decorated and drum corpi enlivened
the gatherings; and it must be said
for the young men that they gave fair
promise of good and useful work in
the future. The disaster that over
took us is not to be laid to the
charge of the persons named, who
through darkness and storm met every
appointment, and by their presence
made the meetings successful. They
worked cheerfully and enthusiastically
and are entitled to the support and
consideration of our people. Two
years preparation will still more fit
them to battle in the campaign of
1896, and to deserve the victory
which will then perch upon our
banners.
SENTENOE SUSPENDED.
Friends of John Bowman of the Muncy Bank
Petition the Court Successfully.
Judge Joseph Buffington, of the
United States District Court, has made
an order suspending sentence in the
case of John M. Bowman, the ex
president of the First National Bank
of Muncy, Pa.
He was convicted of making false
returns to the Treasury Department.
Several petitions were presented to the
court asking that sentence be suspend
ed. Une was signed by all of the
jurors who rendered the verdict
against Bowman, another by all the
witnesses who appeared against him
and a third by thirty seven of the fifty
stockholders of the bank, and' still
another petition signed by 362 of the
473 registered voters in the town of
Muncy.
In the case of Dela Green, cashier
of the same bank, who was convicted
at the same time, a new trial has been
granted, on the ground that there was
not sufficient evidence to convict,
which practically ends the case.
