At the close of the exercises a meeting of the Alumni Association was held for the transaction of busi ness and election of officers for the ensuing year. ALUMNI DINNER. At about two o'clock the spacious dining hall was opened, and the Al umni to the number of several hun dred sat down to a sumptuous repast, provided under the direction of Stew ard Housel. Then followed the intellectual (cast, with Dr. Welsh as toast master. After music by the orchestra, M. Kathcrine McNiff re sponded to the tonst "The family life of our school.v GerrId'pe Conner spoke for the "Class of '06. "Alb letics" received due attention, and then after more music by the orches tra, the exercises closed, and one of the most successful commencements the school has ever known was over. Barring the fact that McKmley was nominates on the anniversary of the defeat of Napoleon, whom he apes; Hobart, his running mate, is enough to make a Jonah out of the Republi can ticket. The latter is the third man who has aspired to be Vice Presi dent from New Jersey. Frelinghuysen, who ran with Clay in 1844, was the first. Dayton, who ran with Fremont, in 1856, was the second; and both got licked. Now for Hobart and his Napoleon's Waterloo. The invitation of the St. Louis con vention to the women of the country to help the Republican party redeem the land from Democracy will not win 'iem over to protection and high prices. The influence of the netti- coat element was felt in 1892, when it arrayed itself with the Democrats, and the women are intelligent enouffh to know that they got what they wanted in better bargains in every thing. There are some people in th6 world who seem never to know a good thing when they see it, or to appreciate a good thing when they have it. To such knowledge can only come by bitter experience, and they never learn the bitter lesson until it is too late to avoid the consequences of their own folly, or to retrieve the loss. Although they may suffer the bit terest regret over the loss whether it be of position, friendship or money that will avail them nothing. Far better it is to appreciate the good things we have, be governed by the advice of sincere friends and to strive m every way to merit the positions of trust we are called to fill, always bear ing in mind the trite axiom that "a bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush."

Low ftatei to Buffalo, N. Y., via Pennsyl vania Railroad. For the accommodation of persons who desire to visit Buffalo, N. Y., on the occasion of the meeting of the National Educational Association, to be held in that city from July 7 to 11, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany will sell on July 5 and 6 excur sion tickets through to Buffalo and return at a single fare for the round trif, plus $2.00 (the latter amount for membership fee). Tickets are good only for continuous passage in both directions, going passage to be com menced on date of issue, and require to be validated by Joint Agent at Buffalo before they will be accepted for return passage. They will be good returning July 11 to 15 only, unless deposited with Joint Agent not later than July 10, when return limit may be extended not later than July 3t, 1896. Tickets will not be good for passage on New York and Chicago Limited Express, nor on limited express trains of New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. Information in regard to exact rates and time of trains can be obtained on cppMcM ion to the nearet-t ticket agent. That Catarrh is a Local Affection of the membrane of the nose, throat, etc., is a fact established by physicians, and this authority should carry more weight than assertions ol incompetent parties, who claim that catarrh is a blood affection, in order to make a mr.rket for t!.e:r compound. Fly's Cream Balm is a local remedy, com posed of harmless medicants and free of rricrcury or any injurious drug. It will cure catarrh. Applied directly to the inflamed membrane, it restores it to its healthy condition, affording quick relief and a cure after short continuance. How Wilkes-Barre Keops Her Streets Olean, The city of Wilkes-Barre has adopt ed a plan to keep its streets free from refuse of many kinds, and in this respect has fallen into line with the most advanced cities in the wnrld She has placed barrels on her street corners, into which all refuse may be thrown. Envelopes, pieces of waste paper, banana skins, candy boxes, and all that wide class of refuse that usually finds its way to the sidewalks and into the streets is now thrown into these receptacles, whence they are taken at stated times by the garbage men and removed to the city's dumping plot. Men use these receptacles as a novelty at first but this leads to methodical habit and thus the desired end is attained. How would this plan work in Bloomsburg ? It would cost but little to give it a trial and we believe thnr it would be more economical than the present method, and in addition the. streets and sidewalks would at all times present a clean appearance, mar. is u mose who now seem to take particular pains to throw banana neels. orange skins, peanut shells, paper Dags, sc., on the pavement for the owner of the premises to sween im. or for anybody to slip down on, would use inese barrels. A MINE HOEEOE. A Hundred Men Imprisoned In the Twin Shaft 01 rmsion. were trying to Prevent a Cave-in when it Occurred. The most terrible disaster th.it occurred since the memorable explo sion at Avondale, in September, 1868, occurred last Monday morning at 3 o ciutK ai me 1 win bliait or the New ton Coal Co. at Pittston T unrtinn only a few feet from the D. L. & W. aepor, uiu irom where the Pittston street car stops at the terminus of its route. Part of the mine had been "working" for some days and a body of men, estimated at from 65 to -5, in charge of supeiintendents Langan and Lynott, the former the deputy mayor of Pittston, went down to tim ber and endeavor to prevent a cae-'n of the workings. The men were bus setting the timbers when an extensive cave-in occurred, estimated at six or seven acres, and the men were caught in the midst of it. All day and aU night relays were at work endeavoring to reach the men. but at they were met with the fall and they cvum gci no nearer tnan within about a to WttJNLttMAlJN&MAttlittl' BLOOMSBURG PA.

Have you seen the pickled lamb tongues and clams we are showing in our grocery department? BLOOMSBURG, PA. 800 feet of the place where the men are. The work of limbering and clearing the cave was kept up all day, but little progress could of necessity be made, and it was supposed by the most experienced miners that they could not be reached earlier than three or four days, and some evea went so far as to say that the men could not be reached earlier than a week or two. Everything depends upon the extent of the cave. If the fall is not so extensive beyond where the men are working the imprisoned miners will be reached earlier than if the fall covers up everything and is as extensive at all places of the affected area as at another. Little hope is held out that the men are alive. The general supposi tion is that they were caught by the cave and buried, as they were right in the midst of the area affected, and if all of them or some of them happen to be :n a small place that was not filled by the earth, rock and coal they will probably starve to death before help can reach them.
