''A Bachelor's Honeymoon.''
"A Bachelor's Honeymoon", which
will be seen at the Opera House Fii
day Dec. 30th, will act as a pleasant
surprise, both in the character of the i
play, and the excellence of the mem- j
bers of the cast. Hoyt's Theatre, New !
York, was the scene of its launching, j
and it has ridden on the crest of pros-1
perity ever since. The comedy is from j
the pen of John Stapleton, whose work
as a stage manager and producer has j
been well and long identified with j
stage work in this country. "A Bach- I
elor's Honeymoon" was written for a j
sole purpose of producing laughter, j
and it is filled with funny and scream- |
ingly odd situations. The play has
been constructed in a cleanly and legi ■ j
timate way, and amuses and convulses j
without double entendre. In addition 1
to the merit of the play, attention must 1
be called to the very strong company \
which presents the farce. It is seldom j
that a farce comedy receives its pre- ]
sentation at the hands of legitimate j
actors; but in "A Bachelor's Honey-,
moon" the exception proves to be the j
rule, for every one connected with >t ,
has made his or her name in the dra- j
matic field. The company is headed
by Mr. George F. Nash, the excellent |
leading man whose work with Mr. |
Joseph Jefferson, Mr. W. J. Florence,
Miss Olga Nethersole, and other re- j
putable stars, will be distinctly re
membered. It is only sufficient to |
say that in the character of Mr. Paul, 1
(Small Bottles) in "Chimmie Fadilen" |
it stood pre-eminent as a strong piece j
of work. Mr. Geoffrey Stein is well!
and favorably known tor his splendid j
character work with the Columbia |
Stock Company in Washington, will j
be seen in the role of Doctor Schwartz 1
a German physician. Miss Edith
Athelstone, the leading lady, who plays
the part of Juno Joyce, will be pleas
antly remembered as having created '
the leading part in Mr. A. M. Palmer's !
company presenting "That Man" and 1
Daly's "The Ghisha".

Maurice Power, the young violinist i
with the Kane Opera company, who j
was taken ill while here last week left j
Clearfield Monday for his home in
Berlin, Ontario, Canada, with a heart,
full of thankfulness and a remembrance
of Clearfield and Clearfield people that j
he will never forget. When stranded 1
here Maurice, only 15 years of age, !
was without money, and a total stran- j
ger. He was luckv that he took sick
at the Whitmire Inn, for Landlord 1
Cardon and his family cared for the [
boy as tenderly as if he was one of
their own. He rapidly grew better, and
on Saturday he was given an impromp- !
: tu benefit in the hotel parlors by some j
of the kind hearted men about town, j
at which a neat sum of money was ,
raised. Sunday another benefit was j
extended at which something like S2O j
was contributed, the members of the |
Royer Bros, company giving $9. of it. j
So on Monday young Power was able
to start for his home in excellent spirits.
He says he will never forget Clearfield
and hopes to come back ere long.—
Clearfield Republican.
The young man will be remember
ed by all who witnessed the presenta
tion of the "Grand Duchess" by the
Kane Opera Co., in Bloomsburg, a
few weeks ago. He was with them
on that occasion and rendered two
violin solos in a very skilful manner.
The Wife and Her Husband's Business
"lt is a cause of amazement to me
that a man can goon, year in and year
out, toiling for a family whose mem
bers show no interest ih his work
further tnan to spend the money he
makes, and who look upon him as the
family mint," writes Frances Evans in
the January J.adies' Home Journal.
My firm belief is that had he, in the
first flush of married life, talked over
his business and ambitions with his
wife, she would have become interest
ed in both, first for his sake, and after
ward for her own and their children's.
Think of the gulf that lies between a
man and woman united in marriage
when he never speaks at home of the
affairs which absorb his entire day!
Mutual interests will bind people to
gether indissolubly even when indiffer
ence, that dangerous bridge of sighs,
has swallowed up affection."

Missing Prom Home-
Frank Woods, a well known travel
ing salesman of Danville, who is travel
ing for the Catawissa Shoe Manufact
uring Company, suddenly disappeared
from home Thursday, and the circum
stances point to death by drowning,
Mr. Woods left his residence on
lower Mulberry street, Danville, Thurs
day morning before breakfast. He
was next seen at the canal lock above
the Asylum. In a conversation with
the lock tender, he explained that he
was on his way to Catawissa. He had
missed the train, he said, and intend
ed to walk up. A short time after a
man answering Mr. Woods description
was seen by the lock tender's son,
walking on the ice out on the river.
The young man went on with some
work he had on hand and when he
looked up a minute later the man had
disappeared, although he had not time
in the interval to reach either shore.
He felt sure that the man must have
drowned and so informed his father.
Learning later that Frank Woods was
missing from home the lock tender in
j formed those in search of him of the
[ circumstances of tne man disappear-
I ing on the river, which as time wore
1 on, left but little doubt that poor
■ Frank was lying in the river under the
I ice. Through the gloomy hours of
; the winter evening and night the anx
1 ious watch and inquiry was kept up by
his family and friends but no news
j could be gleaned as to his whereabouts.
! As far as could be learned he never
reached Cotawissa.
i His brother states that it was no un-1
| usual thing for Frank to walk to Cata- |
i wissa, where lie had business with the j
J shoe factory. He thinks that he found
| walking bad 011 one side and under- j
| took to cross the river hoping to find |
| better walking on the other side as
I well as to save three miles in the dis- j
' tance and that tht ice gave way be-
I neath his weight.
j Mr. Woods' family have abandoned !
the hope of finding him alive, and ;
[ Saturday morning parties began drag-
I ging the river, hoping to recover his
j body. The ice moved off the river
: Thursday night. It is hardly likely
j that the searchers will succeed as
j there is a strong current in the river
I and the body was probadly carried
j along by it for miles. The drowned
| man leaves a widow and three daught
j ers.—Sunbury Item.
j McCiure's Magazine for January
j McCiure's Magazine for January; in two
| articles on the Lake submarine boat, gives
i its reailers a double sensation of inspecting a
I really new and extraordinary invention and
i of following an equally new and extraordin
-1 ary adventure. No man, since the days of
! Jonah, has made a more curious voyage than
' that which Mr, Kay Stannard Baker describes
las taken by himself ami the artist W. 11-
j Stevens in the Lake boat; and since the cre
j alion of Jonah's whale, no more curious craft
I than the" Lake boar, as Mr. Lake himself sets
I forth its principles, powers and possibilities,
! has been constructed. The boat drops
! down to the bottom of the sea, and there
| traverses the ground precisely like an auto
-1 mobile toad wagon; and front it divers step
j out through a door on to the sea bottom, as
j they might step out of a house into a garden,
I and go spading and hoeing among wrecks.
I Pictures drawn by Mr. Stevens front life il
j lustra' e the articles.
I An adventure somewhat akin to that of
j Mr. Baker and Mr. Stevens, and making as
thrilling a story in the relation, was a ride
from London to Glasgow on the locomotive
I of the Scotch Kxpressfthe preeminent "flyer"
I of England), taken by Stephen Crane, the
| novelist, and the late W. L. Sonntag, Jr.,
! the artist. Mr. Crane tells the story in his
| own vivid, striking way; and pictures drawn
| from life by Mr. Sonntag (about the last
| work he did before his untimely death) illus
| trate it.
In the same number, Miss Tarbell gives
I an account of Lincoln's first inauguration as
| President, drawn largely from unpublished
reminiscences of people who witnessed it;
j anil fronr similar reminiscences she const ructs
I a most interesting portrait of Lincoln as he
j appeared in his first meeting with his cabinet
j and through the first days of his residence in
[ the White House. Captain Mahan describes
I and compares the naval and military condi
tions of ourselves a d Spain at the outbreak
of the recent war; Stephen Bonsai gives some
more fine stories from his own experience in
the fight for Santiago; and Mr. Hamlin Gar
land tells a fine true Indian story in the verit
able worrls of Rising Wolf, the Ghost Dan
cer. Another of Mr. Kipling's stories of
school-boy life and several other stories make
the number very interesting also on the side
of fiction. S. S. McClure Co.

THE GREATEST ALMANAC.
A Wonderful Collection ol Facts Issued by
•-The Philadelphia Press."
To those familiar with the Almanac issued
by "The Philadelphia Press," Pennsylvania's
Greatest Newspaper, the announcement that
the 189 edition is 011 sale is quite sufficient
to induce purchase. Those who have exam
ined the contents of the two previous vol
umes issued by that paper know that there is
not to be found in the United States—and, if
not there, nowhere inthe world—an almanac
, which surpasses "The Press' " for its accu
racy, comprehensiveness, variety and attrac
tiveness. It is a volume of over 500 pages,
- replete with the information that every citizen
; interested in the past, the present or the
- future of the country in which he lives needs
constantly. What "The Philadelphia Press"
' does for the world daily its Almanac does for
- the events of the year. There is not one
department of human activity which is not
touched on. The farmer and the merchant,
the clerk and the professional man may each
1 find in it something to interest and instruct.
It answers the many questions concerning
1 the Government of the United States and
I foreign nations, is a valuable resume of the
' War with Spain, abounds with statistics
" from commercial and industrial pursuits,
- tells the story of the part played by the
Keystone boys in the late war—and is, in
' fact a complete cyclopedia of the world's
activities during 1898, and must be indispen
sible to every thinking American'citizen.
■ The Almanac may be had from newsdealers
. or by sending 23 cents to "The Press,"
, Philadelphia.
HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours: a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con
vincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad
der and every part of the urinary pass
ages. It corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that
unpleasant necessity of being com
polled to go often during the day, and
to get up many times during the night.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents or
one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and
a book that tells more about it. both
sent absolutely free by mail, if vou
send your address to DR. KILMER &
Co., BIXOHAMTON, N. Y. When writ
ing be sure and mention that you read
this generous offer in THE COLUMBIAN.
January Ladies' Home Journal-
The New Year's Ladies' Home
Journal gives assurance of a purpose
to make that magazine more useful
and hopeful, and stronger in its liter
ary and artistic features, during 1899
than ever before. It contains a num
ber of practical articles; besides a
score of features of lighter interest,
and opens with a full page drawing by
W. L. Taylor, illustrating Longfellow's
\ Village Blacksmith. Early Colonial
I social life is mirrored in "The Most
! Artistic social Event in America"—
i the annual ball ol the Pmladelphia
| "Assembly," an article that will be
read with unusual interest. A close
range view of strong interest is given
of Leschetizky, by Cleveland Moffett,
who discloses the methods of "The
Man Who Taught Paderewski," and
Elizabeth (1. Jordan tells "What it
Means to be a Newspaper Woman," a
subject upon which she writes trom
her own experience.
Edward Bok, in the January Journal
writes on "The Rush of American
Women,'' making a plea for more re
pose, through which the real pleasures
of life are to be extracted. In fiction,
the experiences of "The Girls of Camp
Arcady," "The Minister of Carthage '
and "The Jamesons in the Country"
are continued. The first of a series of
articles on "The House Practical"
details how to furnish and decorate
the hall and staircase, and other page
features give photographs of "Fifteen
Good Halls and Stairways"and"Prett_v
Rooms ol Girls." Mrs. S. T. Rorer
tells how to carve and serve meats
and game, and gives a variety of menus
for small social affairs. There are
numerous other practical articles upon
subjects of he'pful interest in the
