The fl- Y. World -Tbrice-a-Week Edition-
The Most Widely Read Newspaper in
America.
Time has demonstrated that the
Ihrice-a-Weck 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, 111 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 War la
vith absolute confidence in its
truth.
In addition to news, it publishes
first-class serial stories and other
features suited to the home aud
fireside.

vvnen tue oncK crossings were
being laid everybody but those who
were doing it said they were too
low. This has been fully demon
strated by the storm of Friday,
The crossing at J. G. Wells' corner
was covered with slush to the depth
ot several inches lor two days
There didn't seem to be any official
whose duty it was to look after it.
11 is rumored tnat mere are sev
eral cases of diphtheria in the
vicinity of Briarcreek. One death
as the result of the malady occurred
Monday night, the victim being
Dewey, a son of Wesley Ash, aged
between two aud three years. The
funeral occurred yesterday. The
mother and aunt of the boy are also
quite ill with the same disease.
Death has cast a gloom over the

on East First Street. Their little
son Donald, aged about ten months
was taken away early Sunday
morning, after a short illness, diag
nosed as weakness of the stomach.

Church, conducted the funeral ser
vices, which were held Tuesday

On Sunday last the street cross
ings an over town were in worse
condition than we have ever known
them, and not the least effort was
made by the proper official to make
tuem passable. Those at the church
corners at least might have been
given some attention. There is an
ordinance requiring snow to be
cleaned from pavements within six
hours after falling, but in many
places in town the walks were al
most impassable for three days after
the storm. What is the street com
missioner for?
Mrs. Elizabeth Rawlings, of
Center Street, while in Philadel
phia with her mother last week,
had her purse, containing about
fifteen dollars stolen. The purse
was taken trora her coat pocket,
1 '1 ... 11 ?
wune waiting witn ner mother on
Montgomery Avenue. She had
purchased some flowers, and when
she reached for her pocket book to
pay for them it was missing.
A little fellow sauntered down
Center Street about halt past seven
Saturday night. His clothes were
torn and his shoes were so badly
worn that his leet protruded.
His condition touched the heart
strings of a member of the " Jolly
American iramp Co," and he took
the little fellow up town and pur
chased a pair of. shoes for him.
There is a lesson in this for those
who contend that across the water
is the only place to exercise charity.

The disarrangement of the tele
graphic service by the storm cut
Philadelphia off from the outside
world for several days. In order
to get news from New York on
Monday it traveled 2700 miles by
wire, though the distance between
the two cities is only 02 miles.
The telegram went by the follow
ing route : From New York to
Buffalo, thence to Chicago, Louis
ville, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Wash
ington, Baltimore, to Wilmington,
27 miles from Philadelphia, the
nearest point with telegraphic ser
I vice to the latter place.
State College put up an excellent
article of basket ball in the gym
nasium Tuesday evening. At the
close of the first half the score was
in their favor 19 to 18, but in the
last half taey weakened and Normal

the semblance of an objection raised
at any decision of the officials, which
of course added to the enjoyment of
the game. Score 44 to 28.
Frederick II. Eaton, William H.

purpose of which is to purchase, or
lease real estate, improved or unim
proved, and holding, leasing and
selling the same in such parcels as
may be determined.
The unusual feature of a pastor
proposing that his salary be re
duced was presented at a congrega
tional meeting of the First Lutheran
church of Chambersburg, Pa., the
other evening. Rev. Dr. E. ri.
Leisenring proposed that because of
the extraordinary demand upon
the treasury during the past year
his salary be fixed at $1,400
instead of $1,500. The proposition
did not carry, the rejection of the
plan being emphatic and enthusiastic.
The presentation of the drama
"Hazel Kirke" at the Normal Sat
urday night was an event of more
than ordinary importance, it being
the reunion oftheCallepian Society.
The disagreeable weather kept many
people away, but still a good sized
audience was present. Great care
had been exercised in giving the
parts out, and the finished manner
in which the play was given proved
the wisdom of the selections made.
The piece is one of deep heart inter
est and intensely dramatic. The
climaxes aroused the enthusiasm of
the audience and recognition of the
work of the performers was made
with good spirit. Uufortunately
there was a great delay in starting
and as a result it was within a few
minutes of midnight when the enter
tainment was over.
