Rail road was precipitated over the em bankment at a point near Jersey town, on Tuesday of last week.

The engine and two cars tumbled down over the em bankment, but remained intact.

His lectures are thought by many to be better than his books. One open date has occurred, October iStb, when he is within reach of Bloomsburg. Some of our townspeop'e, co-operating with teachers in the Normal and public schools, are striving to ensure the sale of enough tickets to secure him for u'w",,uu,6 i.-mSm, 1.1 w'ti that the school children, Normal school students, and the people of the town, young and old, may hear him. A large audience is necessary to meet expenses, but it is hoped that this opportunity will be so apprecia ted that the necessary number of tickets will be speedily taken. Let Bioomsburg show that she is in touch with the advanced thought on the subjects of Ernest Seton Thompson's lectures, and give him a reception sucn as he never fails to receive else where.

The Only Ono- The only Moving Picture Co. that has ever given an entirely eatisfactory exhibition of moving pictures in Bloomsburg has been engaged for a return date on November 2. The name of Lyman H. Howe is so well known in connection with moving pic tures that it is only necessary to say that this is Mr. Howe's Jown original company. The exhibition will be given for the benefit of the Lutheran Y. P. S. C. E. and will be held in the Opera House on the evening of Nov. 2, 1900. Included in the program will be a series of magic pictures by the noted French magician, Robeit Houdyn, which are alone worth more than the price of admission. Tickets are 25 and 35 cents.

( where he will take up his residence. A Groat Artist. No artist of our day has made a more profound impression on the world than James Tissot (pronounced Tce so). As the name indicates, he is French, and is a striking illustra tion of French character, which, friv olous as it gcnera'ly seems, frequently rises to a height ot seriousness which enables it to achieve lasting fame. Tissot's earlier life was given to paint inn and worldlincss. He spent ten years in London, where he accumula ted a fortune, which made him afflu ent, and his grand establishment was almost constantly the scene of real frivolities, such as his pictures repre sented. The death of a very dear friend turned his thoughts in another direction, and he gave himself up to religious meditation and prayer. With this change in his life came a new in spiration, to paint a series of pic tures that would truihfully illustrate the life of Christ. All portrayals of Bible scenes, whether by the old masters or more modem artists, had been merely fanciful. As Tissot him self says, "All the schools of art have worke !, more or less conscientiously, to lead astray public opinion in these matters.'' To accomplish his design of producing the life of Christ in pic tures, as nearly representing the real scenes as possible, he iouml that he would have to make the Holy Land, its people and customs, an intense study, and the Holy Gospels as well. Accordingly, he went to Palestine, and spent ten years in studvina its topography, sacred localities, types of people, and manners and customs, and during that time read the Gos pels "over and over again a hundred times." Then he painted about five hundred pictures, small in size, but such truthful reptesentations of ori ental scenes and gospel incidents, that they were at once accepted as the most realistic illustrations of the life of Christ that have ever been pro duced, and will, no doubt, become the standard for the new century. They were exhibited in Paris, London, New York and other cities, and tens of thousands flocked to see them, even at a high rate of admission. Then they were published in book form, as nearly as the printing art could produce them, and the first edi tion was sold at $120 a copy. To popularize these great works of art, tney have been reproduced by photog raphy, and are being exhibited by means of the latest Parisian electrical apparatus, and although not much more than a year has elapsed since Tissot's pictures were first seen in this country, they are already almost as well known as Dore's, which are more than a quarter of a century old, but which are fanciful even to the extent ot being grotesque. It is safe to say that the work of the former will live long after the latter is forgotten, for, as iissot says, "the ideal of mine was truth, the truth of the life of Christ."

The theater was in total darkness, save for the white patch of light thrown upon the picture screen by the stereopticon. There was a dead silence, broken only by the smothered gasps of small boys and girls as the lecturer told how Lobo, the king wolf of the Currumpaw pack, took bloody vengeance for the murder of his beauiful white woll who was his mate. "Lobo crept up to our cabin at night," said Mr. Thompson, "and we were awakened by a stifled yelp. Then all was still. We knew what had hap pened. In the morning we found that Lobo haJ seized our pet dog and torn him into little pieces." Suddenly a small voice piped shrill and high through the darkness: "What did he tore up the dog for?" Like a wise man Mr. Thompson didn't stop to solve the problem, but kept right on with the story of the plot that led to Lobos undoing, and which is familiar to those who have been fortunate enough to read "Wild Animals I Have Known.''
