DELIGHTFUL 8001 k L EVENT.
Rev. Chalmcr Frontz. LaGrange, Ind.. Wedi
Mitt Mary E. Noetling of Selimgrove.
Tbe Snyder County Tribune of
Oct 37th published the following ac
count of the marriage of the daughter
of Prof. Wm. Noetling of the Normal
School.
"One of the most pleasing and de
lightful social events of the season
took place at the home of the bride's
parents on north Market Street, in
this place on Thursday evening of last
week, when Miss Mary, the only
daughter of Frof. and Mrs. Noetling,
was united in the holy bonds of wed
lock to Rev. Chalmer Frontz, of La
Grange, Ind., in the presence of a
large number of invited guests.
The parlors were tastily decorated
with autumn leaves and palms, which
together with the rich toilets of the
ladies, and the bright and smiling
faces of the assemblage, made it a
pleasant and long to be remembered
event.
The hour for the service had been
fixed for 7 o'clock p. m., but owing to
the non arrival of Dr. Frontz, a
brother of the groom, who with his
wife was detained through the late
ness of the train in which they were
traveling, it was postponed one hour,
during which time they arrived.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. John 13. Focht, I). D., of Trinity
Lutheran, the bride's pastor. The
bridal party consisted of the bride and
groom, Mr. and Mrs. William 'P. Seig
of Steelton, Pa , with Master Frank
Noetling, nephew of the bride, paf;e,
and Miss Helen,' her neice, as flower
girl. The bride was attired in a white
gown, cut en train, and presented a
beautiful appearance. Mrs. Seig was
also handsomely gowned. The gen
tlemen wore the conventional black
dres; suits.
After the ceremony a sufficient
time was given to those present to
congratulate the newly wedded couple
after which all present were ushered
into the dining hall, where tables were
arranged, and after all were seated,
the refreshments were served without
stint, and consisted of buttered rolls,
oyster patties, chicken salad, cakes of
various kinds, Ice Cream, confections
and coffee. Abont one hundred and
eighty guests were present and one
and all did ample justice to t'.ie good
things placed before them.
The newly married couple were the
recipients ot a large number of costly
presents, ornamental as well as useful
which they will highly prize, not
so much for their intrinsic worth,
as for the fond memories attached to
them.
Miss Noetling was one of our town's
most popular young ladies, to know her
was to be her friend, and she will be
missed by all. The groom is a rising
young divine, who is serving a Luther
an congregation at LaGrange, Ind.
where he has hosts of friends. After
the wedding supper the newly wedded
couple look a carriage for Sunbury,
from whence they started on their
wedding trip. The bride will accom
pany her husband to his western home
where she will heartily enter into the
duties of a pastor's wife. We wish
tbem a long, happy and prosperous
life."
Berwick Visited by Tire.
As the result of an explosion of a
lamp, which had been left burning all
night, the house of T. C. Roon, be
tween Market and Mulberry streets,
Berwick, was reduced to a heap of
smouldering ruins early Tuesday
morning. It had been customary to
let the lamp burning, but accidents
will happen. The fire was first dis
covered by a pedestrian, and he hast
ily gave the alarm and aroused the
slumbering members of the family,
who experienced considerable dial
culty in getting out of the structure,
owing to the fact that every avenue of
escape was filled with smoke. 1 h
loss, it is believed, will be covered by
the insurance.
Mystery lu a Fire-
A fire, the origin of which is a
complete mystery, occurred at
the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cad
man, on North lion street, Monday
evening, and destroyed a large basket
and us contents of newly washed
clothing, which Mrs. Cadman had
just taken in off the line. Placing
the basket on the inside of the house,
she returned to the yard, when, look
ing up, she observed smoke issuing
from the upstairs window. Fright
ened at the vision, she hurried into the
house, and discovered the basket of
clothes wrapped in flames. A quick
application of water extinguished the
blaze, but the clothes were all ruined

A Surprise Party
A very pleasant surprise party was
given, to Mr. Bruce Drescher and fam
ily, of Stillwater, Monday evening
October 23rd, it being Mr. Drescher's
thirty-seventh birthday anniversary.
The evening was very enjoyably spent
and passed away all to quickly for so
pleasant an event. After refreshments
had been served the guests departed
to their homes, wishing Mr. Drescher
mary recurrences of such a happy
event.
Those present were Alvin Drescher
and wife, Pierce Ash and wife, Char,

Game and Hunters-
Reports from the local press in
nearly all parts of the State give evi
dence that birds, squirrels and other
small game are plentiful, but that the
hunters are likewise numerous. It is
stated that never before were there
more gunners out, and this is fairly
corroborated by a York firearm dealer
who says he has sold more than 100
guns this season to his retail custom
ers, and his total sales to the trade
aggregate considerable over 200 guns.
Sportsmen are especially surprised at
the number of wild birds that are
found, when the ceverity of last winter
is considered.
However plentitul game may ab
ound there are indications that hunt
ers may again pursue the sport so
freely that a scarcity will come like
that experienced several years ago
Even in the catching ot hsli there
seems to be no consideration given
as the Ilarrisburg Star Independent
says that in one day last week there
were taken in fish baskets from tne
streams in Dauphin County more than
1000 nounds ot black bass. This,
too, was not an unusual day's catch

The Hoys Brigade will give a

ception to their new chaplain
Thursday evening of this week. E.-vAli
member of the Brigade has the privi-
ege of inviting his young friends
girls as well as boys. All boys who
are eligible for recruits in the Brigade
are especially invited.
The latest feature of the Boys'
Brigade is the " Brigade Glee Club."
This combination will make its first
appearance at the reception on Thurs
day night. It is made up of excel
lent voices, and judging from the suc
cess in the first rehearsals, the boys
will make a great hit.
The subscription list for our new
Y. M. C. A. home fund is still in
creasing, but there are yet a great
many who have not as yet subscribed.
Every man, both old and young.
should endeavor to be represented in
this enterprise. Some are able to
give much, and many can give small
amounts. The management of the
Association proposes to continue the
canvass until every dollar is raised to
pay the property off in full. Let
there be a general, generous response,
and make the work light as possible.
Indications ate that the fair and
bazaar, which the Ladies' Auxiliary
will hold, Nov. 20 to 25, will be a
great success. I he chief evidence of
this is that the ladies are determined
it shall be and, of course, it will.
On Monday evening last our es
teemed townsman, Hon. Wm. Chris-
man, presented the Association with
the following books,: Smull's Legisla
tive Hand Book, 1899, Penna. Re
port of the Department of Agricul
ture, pirt 1, 1898, and a book on
Birds. These books are all full of
useful information, and will always be
available by persons visiting the read
ing room.
Trolley Lines Sold.
The Montoursville Passenger Rail
way nas been sold to the .Railways
Company General, of Philadelphia.
The new management took charge
early Monday morning, October 23d.
The same company has also purchased
the Milton, Lewisburg & Watson
town Electric Railway, a line thirteen
miles long, running from Watsontown
to Lewisburg. The controlling stock
of both roads purchased was held by
the Drexel estate. It is probable
that the two lines will be connected
in the near future, making a through
trolley line from Wilhamsport to Lew
isburg, taking in Muncy.
Extensive improvements are to be
made an early date, and it is said
the Lewisburg end of the line will be
connected with the Montoursville
system. Then the line from Milton
will be run to Northumberland, and a
continuous line thus formed between
the capitals of Lycoming and North
umberland. v!
Another rumor, said to be authen
tic, is that on the completion of the
bridge over the Susquehanna river, at
Sunbury, the latter system will be ex
tended to Selinsgrove.
Other improvements to be made
aie those at the Wilton electric light
plant. The first will be the installa
tion of a new dynamo of three thous
and volts, in addition to the one of
five thousand volts, which is now do
ing service.
When work on the above men
tioned extensions begin many hun
dred laborers will be given work,
which means much to the down-river
towns, which will also be benefitted in
many other ways by the improve
ments. The company now controlling the
Riuton, lewisburg and bunoury sys
tems is the same one which recently
purchased the Montoursville road.
Young linos Jacoby, whose dis
appearance from home since Friday,
October 12, has been the cause of
great worriinent on the part of his

Twelfth Bi Uonnty Convention
The 1 2th Pi-County Convention of
the Young People's Societies of Chris
tian Endeavor of Montour and Co-
umbia counties met in the Christian
church, Benton, Pa., Oct. 19 and 20.
J he preparatory meeting was an in
spiration to all who attended. Mr.
W. D. Lanmaster of Danville, talked
beautifully on uThe Secret of the
Christians' Power." Among other
good things he said: 1st. You must
possess salvation. Be sure you are
saved 2nd. You must have much of
the Word of God hid in your heart.
3rd. You must have the Holy Spirit.
Be willing to fail two or three times
for Christ when you start to talk for
Him. One great trouble in the world
today is the unwillingness of the
people to let God rule over them.
The richest of God's goodness is
thrown out in His love; you can ac
cept or reject it, just as you choose.
A very impressive Covenant ser
vice was conducted by the President,
Rev. G. H. Hemingway of Blooms
burg. The sun-rise prayer meeting
led bv Mr. II. H. Furman of Dan
ville, was a new feature and was
thoroughly enjoyed by a large num
ber. A most
cordial welcome to dele
friends was extended by
P. Morse. Reports of of
superintendents were very

Rev. Geo,
ficers and
encouraging, yet all laid great stress
upon more promptness on the part of

Societies.
l'wo amendments to the constitu
tion were discussed and adopted. One
provides for an additional officer, the
Chairman of the Correspondence
Committee; the other for an extra ses
sion of the Annual Convention, be
ginning hereafter with an evening
session.
Dr. R. Rock of Shamokin, Pa., gave
a very earnest and spirited talk on
"Christian Citizenship," he thinks a
christian should be loyal to his party
only when his party is loyal to his
God. Quite a number took part in
the symposium on "How can we
achieve greater success in the moral
movements ot the day. ' Much interest
was manifest in the Question Meeting
as to the solution of the difficulties
that arise in the works of the Societies.
The contribution of Christian En
deavor to the "Religious Life of the
Century was discussed by Rev. G.
H. Hemingway. In the absence of the
speakers as given on the programme,
an excellent address was delivered on
"The Outlook for the 20th Century,"
by Dr. Rock. Installation of officers
and the Consecration service was con
ducted by the President.

OVERCOAT WISDOM.
Bad cutting spoils any cloth. Poor workmanship ruins the
best cutting. Cheap trimmings, shoddy linings, cotton, instead ot
silk thread, flimsy pockets, bad buttonholes. These soon make a
" dud " of :he whole thing.
When you go to a cheap tailor you choose the cloth not the
other things. That's where you get left.
Might as well choose the whole garment see what you're get
ting and if you didn't get what you think you get, here's your
money back.
