The Uirls and the Prince.
When the Trincc ol Wales was in
America, in i860, he was a young
nan of nineteen and unmarried.
Naturally, the American girls were
deeply interested in him, and a period
of the most romantic excitement
ensued in all the cities. Every subter
fuge to dance with the young Prince
was resorted to, and members of his
party were bribed to arrange a waltz
with the Heir Apparent; the most
unusual expedients were resorted to
by girls. I lis baggage was kissed as
it was pur aboard the cars, and wHcn
he left a hotel room women would
rush in and carry away in bottles the
water in which he had washed his
face. Church people forgot them
selves and stood on the cushions of
the pews in order to see the Royal
rsifor. On every hand it was a sea
son of excitement, and balls, dinners,
fetes and receptions ruled. One of
the Prince's party was Stephen Fiske,
the journalist, who was delegated by
the elder James Gordon Bennett, of
Tie uVew York Jerad, to remain
with the Prince while he was in Ameri
ca. Naturally, Mr. Fiske saw all the
incidents of His Royal Highness' tour.
Taking a liking to the American
journalist the young Trince saw that
he was present upon all occasions.
Now Mr. Fiske has written out the
whole story, and it will form the Janu
ary installment of The Ladies' Home
Journat s series of "Great Personal
Events." Illustrations of some of the
great scenes have been made, and
these will be given with the article in
the January Journal.
There is a Olass of People

Recently there has been placed in all

as much. Children may drink it with
great benefit. 15ms. and 25cts. per

There does not seem to be any im
mediate danger of war with Spain.
Senator Campbell's resolution to the
effect that the United States recognize
Cuba as a republic, is not likely to
pass at this session, and if it does,
President Cleveland will refuse to act
upon it, as he claims that the power
to recognize a new nation rests with
the executive alone. Meanwhile Spain
is getting her warships ready.
A Large Family.
The town of Olean, Ta., claims the
championship big family of the coun
try, the head of which is W. A. Field.
He is a happy father of thirty-four,
twenty seven of whom live at home
with papa and mamma. The father
is but fifty-seven years old, and his
interesting brood consists of three sets
of quadruplets, five sets of triplets,
three sets of twins, while one, by some
strange mischance, came into the
world singly. Thirty-one of these
children are living, eight being boys.
The Jackson & Woodin Manu
facturing Company of Berwick present
ed the Iiloomsburg telephone girls
with very acceptable Christmas
presents. Miss Laubach received a
check for $20, Miss Moore a check
for $20 and Miss Dewitt, the relief
operator a check for $10. We have
no doubt that their calls will be ans
wered promptly.
T. F. Gallagher, the sign and
scene painter and general board bill
jumper, who secured some money
from Mr. W. W. Wolfe as advance
payment for work to be done in the
Opera House, and then skipped the
town, was brought back the other day
and bound over to court. Lewisburg

There are two new applicants for
liquor license in Bloomsburg. Jerry
A. Hess asks for a restaurant license
for the room now occupied by him as
a shoe store,' and Harvey Deitterick
wants a hotel license for Mrs. Phillips'
building on Main Street above
Center.
A Mt. Carmel Justice has purchas
ed a phonograph. He has a cylinder
with the marriage service on it and if
a couple want to get married when
the Justice is away from home all
they have to do is to deposit the
license and fee in a slot and start the
machine. It does everything but kiss
the bride.
The remains of Rev. Samuel
Shannon were brought here on Wed
nesday morning for burial. He died
in Washington, D. C, on December
27th.' He was a prominent minister
of the M. E. Church, and a son of
the late Jesse Shannon. His age was
about seventy five years.
Clarence Welliver, son of the hard

suicide on Monday by taking lauda

I. G. Deitrich has the sole contract
for the patent signal messenger ser
vice, and will introduce it in town short
ly. The object and use of which is
as follows : He will place the signal
box on your house and the carriers
will pass at reeular intervals, collertintr
all messages which you will place in
it and deliver them to their destina
tion. You can send twenty or more
messages a day for thirty days at a
cost of 25 cents per month, or less
tnan one cent a day. '1 he scheme is
a good one, it is in successful onera-
tion in other cities, and we see no
reason why it would not pay here.
Big Treasury Notes.
There is only one $10,000 United
States note in existence, and that has
never been issued, but is kept in the
treasury as a specimen. There are three
$5,000 greenbacks. Two of thtm are
in uie treasury; me third was paid out
several years ago, and is probably in
the vault of some bank, because it has
never been heard from since. $1,000
notes are numerous.

BY THE TIME the public
is reading this advertisement,
the holiday trade of 18J( will
be a thing of the pust. In the
great Christmas rush the great
business principles of this store
were fully carried out under
buy and under sell. No fancy
prices dampened the ardor of
our Christmas shoppers, and
our holiday lines were rapidly
cleaned out. The few remain
ing lots are now offered at
prices that do not bear a ves
tige of profit for us.
We now call attention to
staple lines and quote below
