One of the new sections will be es pecially tor women, and will be con ducted by Anne Rittenhouse. It will be a magazine of fashion, beauty, strength, social customs and every thing that is understood to be of ipecial interest to w.jinen readers. Voting people read the Vrrx but they want a larger representation in it, so the second ne color section will be for children of all ages. They will find there puz.'es, games, stories, conrcsand instruction in how to make things. A fascinating serial story, "The New Uoy at Dale," will begin in the first issue of this young people's color section. This means no diminution of strength, variety or interest in the other sections of the paper. Buyers of the Sunday J'rtss will get all they have been accustomed to with a great deal of bright, lively and interesting matter in addition. It will pay for everybody to get the Philadelphia Sunday 'rest of April 26. - - another Swindle.

It is s.ii'1 he sells a small package lor ten cents and finds a lot of victims who ought to know better. be sharp enough to The Nortlninilicrland county papers say that there is not very much likelihood that the trolley road will be built between Muney and Watsontown. To construct this line advantageously it would be necessary to cross the canal three times between those towns. This alone is the stumbling blo'jk. The trolley company would like to build this piece of road so as to have a complete line between Will iamsport and Milton and Lewis-burg. Cross ? Poor man ! He can't help it. It's his liver.

The bill provides that no saloon keeper can give away meals. The Governor gives the fo'.lowinjf rea sons for not signing the bill: This bill makes it unlawitil for aiv Honor dealer 'to give in con nection therewith any c-ataV.es in the form of meals or lunch except crackers, cheese and pretzels.' The bill doe not make the violation of its provisions either a crime or a misdemeanor, but it provides that upon conviction the dealer shall be subject to a penalty of S'oo. There is nothing to indicate what is the force of the word 'therewith ' j There seems to be no reason why j it should be an olfense for a man j who is making a sale to give some- i thing in addition ii be chooses to . do it. If it be wrong to make a gift, it is difficult to understand why there should be an exception in favor of crackers, cheese and pretzels. A roll or a piece of bread would appear to be as innocent as either a cracker or a pretzel. It is not wise to enact legislation which is so easily evaded. If the bill should become a law there would appear to be no difficulty in selling the crackers, cheese and pretzels and giving away the liquor or in making a sale of the liquor, crack ers, cheese and pretzels for the same price at which the liquor would otherwise !: sold.

Dr. Edwards, of the Michigan Agricultural College, says: " Wherever a crange exists the ambition of the farmer has changed from the cultivation of products to the cultivation of manhood. hat the world needs to-day is not so much the material things as a deep er hold on the inner meaning of life. The Grange is engaged in furnishing manhood and woman hood and here the agricultural college joins hands with the Grange." Since the first of January W. S. Rishton has used three barrels of i Coca Cola, and is now on the lourth barrel. When it is considered that there are thirty five gallons of syrup in a barrel and sixty glasses to the gallon, some idea ot his extensive trade can be gained. He has just purchased an ice chipper and is in a position to serve iced drinks in the very latest style. He informed the 'Columbian reporter on Tuesday that his business since occupying-, ' his present store room, has more , thau doubled itself. Gcdirad Snyder of Atlantic City, is in Bloomsburg this week. He will return to the .seashore on Saturday. He says gay Atlantic will have one of the most success ful seasons in its historv.

Hereafter clergymen and others au thorized by law to solemnize marri age will receive ail information re garding the parties to whom the licenses are issued under the new act passed and approved by the governor on March 27th. The require ments of the new law provide that the license shall state whether A. 13. and C. D. are of full age and whether married before. If neither of said parties be not of the full age of twenty-one years then in lieu of the words "of full age" his or her age shall be stated and the ract of con sent of parents or guardians shall like-1 wise be stated and if either of said J parties shall have been married pre-1 viously to the issuing of such licescE, ' then, in lieu to the words "never pre-! viously married," the number of times I he or she shall have been previously married and the mode by which said prior marriage or marriages was or were dissolved, shall he stated and if by divorce, the cause for which such divoice shall have been granted. This act gives the marriage clerk con siderable more work, he being com pelled not only to ask many questions but also to send all his information to the officiating clergyman or jus'ice. "A Royal Train. Euhev Me-" iissn r vm. When Shakespeare wrote ol Royal Trains, such renal magnificence in traveling accommodations as now ex ist were not even dreamed of. A middle-aged traveler of modern times, who has fir a lifetime been used to fairly weil equippid railroad I J"-'1. ls himself sutpnted when he boards one of the Pleading System's hourly trains running between Phila delphia and New York, and describing the equipment is very likely to quote Shakespeare's phrase, "A Roval Train, Believe Me." This also applies in numerous other points besides equipment, as for in stance, the trains between Reading Terminal, Philadelphia, and Liberty Street, New York, leaving each Ter minal weekdays, every hour from 7 A. M. to 7 P. M. in their ranid Audit tn the other Terminal, drawn by po.ver j ful, fast locomotives burning hard j coal, thus eliminating all smoke , and cinders, and running over a ! smooth track on a well ballasted, dustless roadbed, are the very sem- blance of a Royal Progress. I Another waj: These trains leaving the Terminal "Every Time the Clock Strikes" pursue their swift couise to , destination without stop or hindeiance 1 the local trains being arranged to al 1 low them a clear track, the same as in monarchical countries, the ord 1 citizen stands aside from the Royal painway. When next you visit New York, take one of these trains leaving Read ing Terminal, Philadelphia. "E verv I Time the Clock Strikes" and you will t notice many reasons why vou should say "A Royal Train, Believe Me." IXXXKXXXXX9 7S Ithaca'Concert Band. The Ithaca Band comes to us with a reputation second to no other band in the State of New York, and its leader, Mr. V. S. Conway, has won an enviable place among bandmasters by the excellence of his programmes, and the ensemble music which he gets from his carefully selected 40 men. The men made so great a reputation at the Pan Am. Exposi tion that the '-Express" of that city speaks of their concert as follows : "The expressions of piaise given the band at the Pan-Am. were none too extravagant, as certainly no such music was ever given out by any j band in the State, and as the Buffalo I papers said, no band could be com pared with it except Sousa's or the marine band at Washington, as cer tainly Mr. Conway is a worthy suc cessor of that Irish bandmaster, Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore."

Secretary Armstrong of the Young Men's Christian Association is trying to arrange tennis matches with surrounding towns for the coming summer. It is quite likely that games will be played with Sunbury and Berwick, Danville, however, has only a few players, and they are not very enthusiastic. The matter of the annexation of Salem township, Luzerne County to Berwick Borough is being agi tated. It appears that the people of the said township are enjoying all the benefits and privileges of the town such as fire protection and lighting facilities without any cost, and the townspeople feel that this extension of the borough so as to take in Salem township will make the burden lighter tor all.
