The 8- K. 7orld-Thrice-a-Week Edition.
The Mod Widely Read Newspaper In
America.
Time has demonstrated that the
Thrice-a- Week World stands alone
in its class. Other papers have im
itated its form but not its success.
This is because it tells all the news
all the time and tells it impartially,
whether that news be political or
otherwise. It is, in fact, almost a
daily at the price of a weekly and
you cannot afford to be without it.
Republican and Democrat alike
can read the Thrice a-Week llorla
with absolute confidence in its
truth.
In addition to news, it publishes
first-class serial stories and other
features suited to the home and
fireside.
The 7hrice-aWeck Worlds reg
ular subscription price is only $1.00
per year and this pays for 156 pa
pers. We offer this unequalled
newspaper and Thr Columbian
together for $1.70.
The regular subscription price of
the two papers is $2.00. tf

Pennsylvania is to have an eight
club base ball league the coming

Barre, Scranton and Hazleton.
Another meeting is scheduled for
next week when the matter will be
difinitely decided upon. If the
project goes through, Will Coffman
will be seen in a Reading uniform.
Will has a host of friends in the
pretzel city.
A feeling of jealousy says an ex
change, often exists among the
churches of the different denomina
tions so that an event or entertain
ment projected by one will not be
patronized by the members ot the
congregation or friends of the other.
But by no means should the mem
bers of a church manifest such ill
will. A better christian example
should be followed, as an example
to the world. Christians, no matter
under what denomination they are
traveling, should help each other.
They are all striving toward one
goal, and the assistance given each
other in this life is only an incident
toward making the great life be
yond one of keener enjoyment.
Mrs. Sara J. O'Bryan, who had
been living with her daughter Mrs.
William Mushier on West Fifth
street for some time past, died in the
early hours of Friday morning.
The transition must have been
peaceful, as when Mrs. Mushier
visited her mothet's room about
three o'clock in the morning, she
was sleeping soundly. When the
family arose at six o'clock she made
another visit to the room when she
discovered that the spirit of her
mother had departed. A physician
was summoned who decided that
death was due to appoplexy. Mrs.
O'Bryan wasaboutsixty three years
of age. The funeral took place on
Mouday, and the remains were ta
ken to Williamsport for interment.
The experience of Buffalo ought
to have some influence with those
who reject vaccination for fear of
lockjaw. The ''Commercial" of
that city says: "Tens of thousands
of persons have been vaccinated in
Buffalo during the past six weeks,
and not one case has been reported
where the person vaccinated has
been injured by it." Moreover,
the New York State Board of
Health has officially declared that
it has never been proven, nor
is it very probable, that vac
cine ever contains the lock
jaw bacillus. Such evidence ought
to be enough to quiet the ill-grounded
fears of those who have listened
to auti-vaccinationist arguments.
With ordinary precautions vaccina
tion is as safe an operation as can
be performed.

Charges Against Bishop Talbot of the
Episcopal Church.
Local Episcopalians are interested
in the outcome of the proposed trial
of Bishop Ethelbert Talbot of the
Central Pennsylvania diocese, and
well known here because of his fre
quent visits to this parish, who is
charged with conspiracy to degrade
and unfrock Rev. Ingram N. Irvin, a
rector of Huntingdon.
The denunciation, accompanied by
affidavits, was in the form of a peti
tion, and made to the general con
vention held at San Francisco quite
recently. It was decided to appoint
a court of three bishops and the trial
will be held in this diocese.
The trouble arose about Mrs.
Elliott, a prominent society woman of
Huntingdon, Pa., wife of an official of
the Pennsylvania railroad. Dr. Irvine
refused to permit her to take holy
communion, on the ground that she
had been divorced. This resulted in
