THE BETHLEHEM3-
Bethlehem, South Bethlehem and
West Bethlehem contain a population
of about 30,000. They are" built on
rolling ground, and one must go up
or down hill to get anywhere. During
a two days' stay there recently we
found excellent quarters at the Eagle
Hotel. The house is kept by Mrs.
Hoppes, and she is ably assisted by
her nephew, Harry Chamberlain,
formerly of this town, who has charge
of the office. His brother John is
also there as an assistant in the bar
md pool room. They are the sons of
the late Mills Chamberlin.
Bethlehem is an old town, having
been settled by the Moravians before
the revolution. There are a number
of quaint old buildings that ante-date
that period. The Moravians have a
large girls' school, a parish school,
two churches, and other buildings.
The cemetery is one of the spots
always seen by visitors to the town.
The graves are in lines, and on each
one lies a small square stone contain
ing name, dates &c. Some of them
are nearly 200 years old.
I.chigh University was visited on
Thursday morning, by Rev. D. N.
Kirkby, Rev. J. D. Rockwell, Col.
Freeze, Messrs. Townsend, Wirt and
the writer. This institution is well
equipped to do a great work. About
400 students are in attendance at
present. The college was founded by
Asa Packer, and several memorial
buildings have been built by members
of his family, including a beautiful
chapel, a library and gymnasium. The
latter building cannot compare either
in size or appointments with that at
our Normal school, in fact there are
few in the country that can.
Bethlehem seems like a prosperous
and growing town. We are unable to
say anything about her industries, as
time was too limited to permit a visit
to any of them.
TOOT BALL.
One of the season's greatest contests
took place at Cambridge, Saturday
afternoon, between Yale and Harvard
in the presence of upwards of 25,000
people. Harvard was considered the
strongest of the two teams, and she
undoubtedly was, but luck was against
her, and the best she could do was to
keep the Sons of Eli from scoring.
By winning the toss, Yale had first
choice of goals, and this alone was
quite an advantage, as the wind was
quite strong in their favor. It was a
hard fought stubborn contest. Score:
Harvard o, Yale o.
Saturday will be another great foot
ball day. The University of Pennsyl
vania and Harvard will be pitted
against each other, and Yale and
Princeton will also contest honors.
It is rather hard to pick the winners
of these two games, but it is our opin
ion that the U. P. will be victorious
over Harvard, and unless Yale im
proves over her work of Saturday,
Princeton will have little trouble in
winningi

Babbits Not Mentioned-
The new game law has caused a
gfeat deal of discussion as to whether
t prohibits the buying and selling of
rabbits. The law prohibits any person
to purchase or have in possession or
expose for sale any of the aforesaid
song or wild birds or the game raam
nals killed or taken in the state, ex
cept as hereinafter provided. In a
following section it then specifies the
birds and mammals intended, but it
does not mention rabbits. Many law
yers contend that the law is not oper
ative on rabbits, as this section does
nt specifically mention them.
The Northumberland County Con
stables are making a great kick. The
Commissioners, by reaspn of a ruling
jnade by Judge Savidge, have refused
to pay them for attending the election.
A BISHOP ELEOTED.
Bishop Talbot of Wyoming and Idaho
Choion tor Central Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday of last week the
convention of the Episcopal Church
for the diocese of Central Penn
sylvania met in special session in
South Bethlehem, for the purpose of
electing a successor to the late Bishop
Rulison. St. Paul's Church, Blooms
burg, was represented by the Rector,
Rev. David N. Kirkby, and three lay
deputies, J. R. Townsend, Paul E.
Wirt, and Geo. E. Elwell, and by the
Chancellor of the Diocese, Col. J. G.
Freeze.
There was an unusually larn'e atten
dance, there being about 80 clergy
men and 140 lay deputies present.
The sessions were held in the Parish
House of the Church of the Nativity,
and were presided over by Rev. M.
A. Tclman of Mauch Chunk. On
Tuesday evening a beautiful service
was held in the church. On Wednes
day morn inn there was a celebration
of the Holy Communion, at 7:30, and
at 9:30 a second one with full choral
service and a sermon on the life and
character of Bishop Rulison by Bis
hop Sattertee of Washington, D. C.
Fifteen names were presented as
candidates for Bishop as follows:
Bishop Talbot, Rev. Israel of Scran
ton, Powers of Pottsville, Foley of
Williamsport, Smith ofN Washington,
McKim of Washington, Baker of
Harrisburg, Bodine of Philadelphia,
.Morrison of Sunbury, Lindsay of Bos
ton, bwentzell of Brooklyn, Stone of
Chicago, McConnell of Brooklyn,
Woodle of Altoona, and Riley of
Philadelphia.
The leading candidates from the
start were Bishop Talbot and Dr. A.
Mackay Smith. The voting is done
by orders, the clergy and laity voting
separately. On trie third ballot Dr.
Smith led Bishop Talbot in the
clerical vote, but the laity gave a
majority to Talbot.
On the fourth ballot all names were
dropped but the two leading ones,
and Talbot was elected by both or
ders, and the election was then made
unanimous.
The new Bishop of Central Penn
sylvania is 47 years old. He has
been Bishop of Wyoming and Idaho
ten years, and has brought the diocese
up to a high standard of excellence.
He is described as possessing a parti
cularly winning and attractive manner,
wholesouled and generous-hearted. In
presence Bishop Talbot is tall and
commanding, and possessed of re
markable physical vigor. He was
eiected Bishop of Georgia several
years ago, but declined, as the work
in the West needed his attention. It
was argued by his supporters at the
convention that the diocese needs a
strong, stalwart man to attend the
many widely separated parishes. Bis
hop Rulison's death is believed to
have been hastened by the overwork
and exertions entailed upon him, and
this argument was used by delegates
to the convention who deemed a divi
sion of the diocese expedient. The
action of the convention in fixing the
salary o f the Bishop at $4,000 per
year, $2,000 less than Bishop Ru'ison
received, is believed to be a step
toward a division of the diocese, and
to show the trend in that direction.

JONESTOWN EPIDEMiO-
Last Thursday Bruce, youngest son
of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Runyan, was
buried at Jonestown. The deceased
was only sick a few days when he
succumbed to that awful disease
which seems to be epidemic in that
family. On Saturday, Margaret,
youngest daughter of Mrs. W. S. Run
yan was taken suddenly worse she
having had a slight attack of scarlet
rash a week ago died in a few hours.
When the disease first made its ap
pearance in Mr. Runyan's family,
Mrs. W. S. Runyan and her children
went to Mrs. Piatts near Town Hill.
Wm. Fould who has been boarding
at J. L. Runyan's and has been sick
for the past two weeks, was, at last
reports a little better.
Licenses Have Been Raised.
Liquor licenses come higher this
year than they did last. The new li
cense law was amended by the legis
lature last winter making many im
portant changes. The hotel license

$75 to $100. The bottlers' license,
which was $100 in boroughs and town
ships has been advanced to $250 in

sermon by the pastor ; special temper
ance work in the Sunday school ;
union temperance prayer meetings by
the young people's societies ; union
church services in the evening ; and

Coal Near BloomBburg.
Dr. G. W. Mifflin, of Bloomsburg,
exhibited a fine specimen of anthra
cite coal this morning, which he re
cently discovered, but says it is within
five miles of Bloomsburg.
Several parties have been prospect
ing on the Catawissa Mountain, near
Mainville, for some time, and this is
supposed to be the place of discovery.
The coal is of good quality, and it is
thought the doctor has found a valua
ble vein. Shamokin News.
A Fool Fooled by a Fool-
An Olean merchant had a big lump
of coal gilded. Me placed it in his
window and labeled it "A nugget from
Klondike, worth $9,000." It attract
ed the attention of an avaricious per
son, who broke the window and stole
his "nugget."
In October the foreign miners in the
employ of the Lehigh Valley Co. at
Avoca went out on strike, because
they claimed they had been docked
excessively. The company attempted
to fill the places of the strikers with
new men. A conflict at once occurr.
ed between the strikers and the new
comers. The battle took place on
the company's, propeVty. Stones and
clubs were used. The strikers were
victorious, but no one was seriously
injured. The company did not call
upon the sheriff for aid, but in time
they caused the arrest of the ringlead
ers of the srrike. The men were
bound over for trial. The company
employed able counsel, and resolved
to test the right of strikers to intimid
ate men who wanted to go to work,
and also what the privileges ot the
men were when they were on strike,
whether or not they had a right to
trespass on the company's propeity.
Ignatz Bolen, Anthony Slincol, An
thony Gedouch, Semon Bernitti, John
Rose, John Bavioch. John Visaplilkas
and Woodruff Corniski were the names
of the ringleaders who were arraigned
in court. The company established
the fact that the riot took place on
its property, and that the strikers
made threats against the company of
ficials. Several workmen testified
that they joined the strikers through
fear. The defence claimed no acts of
violence had been committed by the
strikers. The case was given to the
jury and a verdict of not guilty was
returned, the prosecutor to pay the
costs.
LOCAL S. S. INSTITUTE
DISTRICT.
FOR BLOOM
State College defeated Bucknell
University at foot ball Saturday after
noon by the decisive score of 27 to 4.
The game is described as having been
a hard fought scientific contest and
woo on its merits. Here now is a
chance for Normal to show her ability,
by defeating State College. By so
doing they will retrieve the defeat ad
ministered by Bucknell a short time
ago.
According to announcement, the
S. S. Union Institute tor the district
of Bloom met in the Lutheran Church
at 7:30. Tuesday evening, Nov. 16.
President W. R. Kccher called the
meeting to order, and opened with
singing, and prayer by Mr. Wilson of
the Presbyterian Church. Rev. Dr.
Rhodes was then introduced, and
spoke more than an hour on Suncjay
School work. He held the attention
of the audience closely during the
whole time, presenting very forcibly
and pleasantly the methods ot Bible
study calculated to interest the Sun
day School scholar in the text of the
school the Holy Scriptures.
There were three main thoughts in
his address : first, the use of the Bible
as well as the lesson leaf in the school.
In this connection he gave very help
ful keys to the memorizing of the dif
ferent portions or books of the Bible,
and something of its wonderful history,
and so mucn the more valuable be
cause of its accuracy.
Iu the second place he plead for
systematic and regularly graded Bible
study in the Sunday School. Corn
faring it in its usual careless, unsyste
matic way with the public schools and
their perfect system, this was a most
helpful pare of the talk, and it is a pity
that all in town could not have heard
it. He closed with an earnest word
about reaping in the Sunday School.
He said : " It seems that people are
content with sowing, but the Bible
says we are to reap as well as sow and
therefore we ought to have reaping
days and gather the children and
young people in for Jesus." The
night was very inclement, but about
50 persons assembled.
ON A MURDERER'S TRAIL.
A Slain Boy's Body Identified by His
Brother.
The boy who was found murdered
in a car in the Pennsylvania Railroad
yard at Williamsport, on October 16,
was on Tuesday identified as that of
iS year-old Harry Darrlnger, of Pitts
burg. The identification was made
by Daringer's brother.
Daringer says his brother ran away
from home with a colored boy. This
boy answers the description of the
youth who left Elkins, Md., in the car
with young Daringer, and the police
have hopes of running him clown.
How to Treat Your Body.
The Medical and Surgical Reporter
gives the following practical advice :
"Think deliberately of the house you
live in your body. Make up your
mind firmly not to abuse it. Eat noth
ing that will hurt it. Wear nothing
that distorts or pains it. Do not over
load it with victuals, drink or work.
Give yourself regular and abundant
sleep. Keep your body warmly clad.
Do not catch cold j guard yourself
against it. If you feel the first symp
toms give yourself heroic treatment.
Get into' a fine glow of heat by exer
cise. This is the only body you will
have in this world. Study deeply and
diligently the structure of it, the laws
that govern it, the pains and p.enalty
that will surely follow every violation
of life and health."
The singing school at Lime Ridge,
under the direction of Miss Delia
Geisinger, has arranged for the pre
sentation of a grand musical program,
to be held on the evening of Saturday,
Nov. 27th, in the M. E. Church of
that place. Bright instrumental and
vocal solos, duets, quartettes, select
readings, &c, and choruses by the en
tire school, will go to make up an en
joyable evening's entertainment ot un
usual merit. Proceeds for benefit of
the M. E. Church.
Not in it on Football.
Clearfield has just as many lazy,
long haired, long eared, worthless
young men as any town of its size in
the State, but it cannot raise a foot
ball team worthy the name. Our boys
are not afraid to run the great risks of
the game, in fact they are not afraid
of anything but work, and yet they
don't seem to be able to get into any
thing like football condition. Just
why this is true no one seems to know.
Clearfield Republican.
Now is the time to advertise your
