The Philadelphia Times says that women have not only the most im portant interest in the education of children, but they play a vastly more important part in it than do the men, and the education of the home and the school cannot be sep arated. One of our exchanges says that Jennie Helper and Newton Lord were recently married in New York State, and the the groom clubbed the editor of the local paper nearly to death because in his account of. the wedding: he headed the article "Lord -Helper." Harry Watson accidently shot and instantly killed his sister, Miss Fannie Watson at his home near Northumberland on Thursday. He was handling the gun, and a sudden jar against the wall discharged it just when his sister was crossing the room. The load took effect on the back of the head, and killed her Instantly.

Preparatory service and Congregational Business Meeting on the preceeding Saturday at 2.30 p. m. A special from Wilkesbarre to the Philadelphia Inquirer says: "Con ductor McAlpine, of a freight train on the Bloomsburg division of the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern Railroad, had an exciting ex perience witti tramps 1 uesaay at a siding called Limeridge. He was alone in the caboose when he over heard several tramps planning to rob the trainmen. He seized a brake stick and lantern and attempted to frighten off the tramps. A battle followed. The conductor succeded in keeping his six assailants off un til the arrival of another freight and the crew came to his assistance. The tramps continued the fighting, but were finally driven off. It might be a good idea tor the papers to pass this fellow along. He is a swindler and evidently a sharp one. Thus far he has been operat ing, as a rule in the agricultural counties, selling misfit spectacles for a dollar or two, or rather collecting that much on every pair sold, then taking them away to adapt to the the wearers and forgetting to come back, but, of course keeping the money. The promise is to return them within forty-eight hours, and by that time, of course, he has gone. Spectacles should not be bought from anyone before the purchaser undergoes a thorough examination by an expert, but, until people learn that, they might properly be warned against this glib gentleman.

The greatest attraction of the seas on will take place in the Opera House Bloomsburg, Tuesday evening, April it. No one can afford to miss it. The wonderful Wargraph by Lyman H. Howe under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. Read what others say about it. "The animotiscope exhibition at the Second Presbyteiian church last even ing attracted an immense audience despite the fact that this is the third entertainment given by the wonderful life.portraying piece of mechanism in this church during the present season. When the doors were closed on the wouldbe spectators, there was no such thing as standing room left inside, every available spot in the big audi torium being occupied. In fact 1,300 persons were present, and it is esti mated that more than 400 were un able to gain admittance. Last night's immense throng is sufficient assurance that Mr. Howe's invention is highly appreciated here in Amsterdam. Many of the pictures shown were entirely new, and in some instances the order of operation was reversed, the pictures moving backward, to the great belight of the spectators. The phonographic accompaniment added much to the relastic production. From the first to last the entertainment was well worthy of the crowd which enjoyed it. In consequence of the fact that so many were turned away last night it has been decided to repeat the exhibition this evening, beginning at 8:30 oclock. Those who held tickets for last night and were unable to use them, will be admitted this evening without addi tional charge, and it is sfe to predict another crowded house." Daily Democrat, Amsterdam, N. Y., March 3. '98- "The exhibition given by Prof. L. H. Howe under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. at the Gem Opera House last night was attended by a large and highly appreciative audience. 1 he ex hibition was truly up to the highest ex pectations. The moving pictures were the best ever seen here and the assort ment was varied and pleasing. There was an absence of that flickering which tries the eyes, and which is so notice able in so many moving pictures, and the views were so real and life like that the audience were almost ready to believe that they were looking at living persons and things. The whole entertainment was of a high order of excellence and the Y. M. C. A. de serve credit for bringing Prof. Howe here to give such a charming enter tainment." The Daily News, Nau gatuck, Conn., Wednesday, Feb. 16 1898. Dewey Day Governor Stone on Tuesday sent the following message to the Legis lature, concerning the Dewey Holiday Bill: "If I had any right to presume that the passage of this resolution would be regargarded as a precedent, desig nating as legal holidays other anniver saries of important military and naval battles, I should not hesitate to inter pose objection. I don't think it wise to increase the number ot legal holi days, and while I honor Dewey lor his great victory, vet I nuestion whether setting apart the anniversary of the battle as a legal holiday is the proper way to show it. But as the resolution makes only May 1, 1399, a legal holiday and passed both branches unanimously, I have reluct antly giAen it my approval." Pain Unnecessary in Cimlubirth.

Santiago de Cuba, March 22. A re port wan received here to-day from a correspondent at the Government sig nal station at Guantanamo stating tht ex-Sccretnry of State John Sher man hnd died of pneumonia early this morning. Happily, this report proves to have been Incorrect. m JOHN SHERMAN. The Paris has just arrived here from Guantanamo, and the Sun correspond ent, who at once boarded her, found that Instead of being dead Mr. Sher man's condition showed much lm provement. He rested well last night, and there Is great hone of his recov ery. It Is expected that the cruiser Chi cago will arrive here on Thursday, and Mr. Sherman will then be trans ferred to her and taken to the United States. WASHINGTON MUCH STIRRED. n.rtlon When Truth Wa KnowMr. Hh.rmau to Return oil tli Ohlco. Washington. March 22. Washlng- has not been ro stirred for a long time n. it una to-day by the publication In the evening papers of the report from Caimanera, Cuba, of the death of John Sherman and the subsequent aiscov ery that the story was not true, ai thouch the report had no official con flrmatlon. the news was not unexpect ed : in fact. It was ratner anucipaieu, In view of the tenor or tne uispaicnes from Kingston yesterday and especial ly in view of a private dlspaicn re rotved this morning by Assistant Sec retary Crldler from Consul Dent of u-ino-iitnn. who said tnai wnen ine Paris lef Kingston last nigm r fihprman'i cond tlon was very low ana that he f 1 ared the worst. An official of the State Department said to-night that Secretary Hay, upon the strengm of these dispatches and tne connrma tlnn bv the Associated Press or tne re port of Mr. Sherman's death, prepared a circular telegram to diplomatic and consular officers of the United States announcing Mr. Sherman's death and paying a graceful tribute to the worth of his nubile services. He also sent message to Mrs. Sherman notifying her of her of the death of her husband. A similar notification was sent to the membvs of the Diplomatic Corps In Washington and to President McKln- ley at Jekyl Island. There was gome discussion of arrangements for the funeral. Flags on public buildings were ordered at half mast. At the Sherman residence, however, In the absence of official confirmation of the report or a direct communlca tlon from the ex-Secretary's relative who are with him on the Paris, there was yet a hope that he might be alive, Telegrams of condolence arrived aur Ing the evening from all parts of the country. Owing to Mrs. Sherman feeble condition, the result of a stroke of paralysis last fall, all news of her husband's Illness had been kept from her. and when Secretary Hay's note was received a consultation of the friends In the house was held. Miss Wlllock of Ohio, a niece of Mrs. Sher man ,who has been with her during her illness: Mr. Babcock, for many years Mr. Sherman's private secretary as Senator and Secretary, and Harry Vail, who also served Mr. Sherman while he was In the Senate, decided that Dr. Johnson, Mrs. Sherman's phy sician, should communicate the news to her to-morrow morning. The reaction felt by these friends, when they saw the Sun's cable dis patch from Santlgo, stating that the ex-Secretary was still alive with fair prospects of recovery, was almost painful to witness. Miss Willock, as soon as she had recovered, carried to Mrs. Sherman the news of the arrival of the Purls at Santiago, withholding any statement as to Mr. Sherman's condition. In a little while, the party at the Sherman house were Joined by Mrs. McCollum, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sherman, and Miss Miles, daugh ter of Gen. Miles, to whom the news had been conveyed by telephone. Per sons who called to express condolence and newspaper men who came for ad ditional facts concerning the death of Mr. Sherman were greatly surprised M learn the real facts. The Sun's cable dispatch was also communicated to Secretary Hay, who recalled his circular letter, and to Sec retary Porter at tho White House, by whom It was forwarded to President McKlnley. Secretary Long this afternoon re ceived a cable dispatch from Admiral Sampson, announcing the arrival of his squadron at Caimanera. Later came a dispatch from Capt. Cooper of the Chicago, announcing the arrival of his ship at the same port. He said that while at sea the Chicago met the Paris, and an arrangement was made by which ex-Secretary Sherman would be transferred to the Chicago on Fri day and conveyed to Fort Monroe. Late this evening a telegram was re ceived at the Sherman residence from Mr. Colgate. Hoyt addressed to Mrs. Sherman and dated Santiago. It said that Mr. Sherman' condition was Improved. At I 1 V . A. MRS. GUILFORD FAINTED. Oa Trial for the Alleged Murder of tmmi nill, "he Collnp.ed. Bridgeport, Conn., March 21. Dr. Nancy A. Oullford yesterday was placed on trlnl before Judge Oeorgo W. Wheeler and a Jury of the Supreme Court on a charge of second degree murder In killing Mlr.s Emma GUI, of Southlngton. Mrs. Guilford apparently was very weak. Her face was pale and hag gard; she moved slowly, and sank Into her chair as If exhausted. Eudora Oullford. daughter of the ac cused, watched her mother closely and gave evidence of fears that the pris oner might collapse. The first man accepted ns a Juror was Samuel P. Thompson, of Darlen, farmer. During the examination of the thir teenth Juror, Dr. Banks noticed that Mrs. Guilford's face was ashen gray, sprang to hor side, rclt tne pulse atyi motioning to Sheriff Hawley half car ried the prisoner to another room. Judge Wheeler declared a recess of ten minutes. At the end of that time Mrs. Guilford was brought back and the proceedings continued. McCoy anil Rhnrhey to Meet. New Tork, March 22. From present Indications Kid McCoy and Tom Shar key will again be matched to battle for heavyweight honors. William A. Brady and Tim O'Kourke, managers of the boxers, have practically come to an agreement to have the contest de cided June 18 next. The only hitch In the conditions Is that O'Rourke Insists upon the men being allowed to hit with one arm free. Brady Is willing to ac cept under thsse terms, but says he would like to receive word from Mc Coy before signing articles. The Kid has been telegraphed to this effect, and If he Is willing to fight one hand free, the men will Immediately sign articles. McCoy Is more than' anxious to get another chance at the Sailor, as he be lieves he will be able to reverse the decision next time they meet. The fight. If aranged, will probably take place at the Lenox Athletic Club. Be fore McCoy tackles Sharkey he will meet Tommy Ryan for the middle weight championship. Camps In the South. Washington. March 22. Secretary Alger has come to the determination to maintain summer camps for the United States troops In the Southern States, and the delegation of Georgians who called upon him yesterday to se cure that object will be so Informed. It Is the Intention to maintain one of the camps In the neighborhood of At lanta. The only condition Is that the present Georgia quarantine regula tions, which operate so as to prevent the movements of troops absolutely demanded by the military needs of the case, shall be adapted to the require ments. The number of troops to be located at any one camp will not be large, for It Is said at the department that only about fifteen thousand sol diers will be so located, but there Is likely to be much changing around among the men. Troops returning from Cuba are to be detained in the Georgia camps about twenty days at least before being sent to their hornet or to the Northern posts. Oynler Trust Forming; Now New Haven, March 22.

The company will be organized formally under the laws of New Jersey before the end of the week. The capital will be from the Bridgeport Traction Company and prominent street railway men of New Jersey.

The name of the new organization has not yet been selected. remmy Ivaiila's Diw.y Iy. Harrlsburg, Mach 22. In approving the Dewey day resolution Gov. Stone sent this message to the Legislature: "I do not think It wise to Increase the number of our legal holidays, and while I honor Admiral Dewey for his great victory In Manila harbor, yet I question whether the setting apart of the anniversary of that battle as a legal holiday is the proper way to show Dewey honor. "But as this resolution makes only May 1, 1899, a legal holiday, and does not apply to any subsequent anniver saries, and as it passed both branches of the Legislature with unanimity, I have reluctantly given It my ap proval." Referring to Admiral Dewey's health, Gen. Merrltt said: "There are people who would like to get Admiral Dewey here and make a show of him, but his health, I believe, Is excellent, and the distinguished officer prefers attending to his duty to having an ex hibition made of himself." Cecil Ithodi '. Projects. Berlin, March 22. In the Reichstag yesterday Herr .Rlchter, the German Radical leader, asked the government for information on the subject of the negotiations progressing with Mr. Cecil Rhodes. The Minister of Foreign Af fairs, Baron von Bulow, said the nego tiations for a railroad through German East Africa were still In progress; but he said an agreement had been reached regarding the laying of a telegraph line through the East African Protec torate', In which the rights and su premacy of German Interests were fully safeguarded. The line, he con tinued, would be constructed at the telegraph company's expense, and would be completed within Ave years. Sugar Stock'. Erratic Couie. New York, March 22. Sugar sold as high as 168 yesterday and then dropped to 154, with a rally in the latter part of the Stock Exchange session that carried it above 160. About 100,000 shares were traded In. There was very little Interest In the market, as nearly all of the stocks outside of Sugar were In a comparatively paclflo state. At last Wall Street la begin ning to realize that there was no truth whatever In the reports of Sugar trade harmony. In fact the stories of three daysago are now as persistently denied as they were then reiterated. In Bos ton the Lawson following, who did much to put up the price of Sugar last week, were estimated to have sold 30, 000 shares by noon. HOW TO HND 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.
