WM. OaiST IS TEE MI313TRY.
Rev. William Lloyd Crist was
ordained as a minister of the Gospel
t Shenandoah, Iowa, on February
15. He will be remembered by
many of our readers, be having
formerly resided here. When in
Bloomsburg be was employed as a
compositor on the Sentinel and he
also worked off and on in the Re
publican office. Before coming to
Bloomsburg he resided at Pine
Summit. In speaking of the service
the Missionary World of Shenan
doah, Iowa says: A most precious
ordination service was held at the
Missionary Headquarters at Shen
andoah, Wednesday, February 25.
Alter careful inquiry and examina
tion, W. L. B. Crist was set apart
for the Gospel ministry by the lay
ing on of hands, and prayer. Mr.
Crist has been in Gospel work, for
fiveyearspast. He finished a course
of Bible study at Moody Institute in
Chicago. In addition to evangelistic
work, he has been doing pastoral
work for the Congregational Church
at Kensal, North Dakota, the past
year. His sermon at Shenandoah,
the evening preceding his ordina
tion, showed him in every way cap
able for the great work upon which
he has entered. He spoke from
Dan. xii. 3. Good results cannot
but come from our brother's min
istry. TEAOHEBS IN SESSION.
The Teachers' Club held the last
meeting of the present school year in
ihe High School building Tuesday
evening. There was a good attend
ance, and a deep interest was mani
fested. Papers were read by Miss
Allen on "The Moravians," Harry S.
Barton, "The Mint," Miss Hayman,
"The Daughters of Pennsylvania,"
Miss Moyer, "Higher Institutions of
Learning," Miss Fox, "Sons of Penn
sylvania," Miss Robbins, " Philanthro
pists of Pennsylvania;" Mr. Kressler,
"Commercial Advantages of Penn
sylvania's Waterways" and Samuel
Pursel on " Local Waterways."
An open discussion previous to the
reading of the above papers, showed
a unanimity of opinion that the year
just drawing to a close has been a
successful one in every way.
"Wandering Willie" in Trouble
Wandering Willie Setley, the ball
tosser, who is probably known in
every city of any size or importance
in the United States is again in the
toils. This time the charge is big
amy. It appears that he recently
married a girl of seventeen years at
Utica, N. Y., and now another wife
whom according to the charge he
married at Camden, N. J. on the
13th of August, 1893 has appeared
on the scene. Willie says that it is
all a mistake, that he pitched a
game ot ball for Bloomsburg on the
date in question, and he wants a
copy of the local papers containing
an account of the game, that he
may be able to substintuate his
claim.
Left Bob Fitzsimmons Penniless
Bob Fitzsimmons, the fighter, is
practically penniless, owing to the
fact that Mrs. Fitzsimmons, who died
last week, left no will. Mrs. Fitz
simmons had $100,000 and the house
she and the family lived in at Bat'i
Beach.
The money and property, under
die law, go to her children, and Fitz
simmons, who fought 100 and more
battles in the ring in the past 20 years
to win the fortune, can have none of
it, except the use of the house as a
domicile during his life.
Fitzsimmon's earnings were always
deposited to his wife's credit in the
bank.
A Pittsburg preacher who is op
posed to dancing says that the saw

Misrepresentation fie Sajs-
The writer was approached by a
rustic resident of the upper end ou
Monday, who had a sad story to re
late, lie had been swindled, so he
had said out of a bunch of money
by the trickery of a stock manipula
tor. We didn't care to be inquisi
tive, although he showed a desire
to explain the whole transaction, so
we parted before the name of the
fellow who handled the money had
been made known. The "lamb"
that is fleeced these days deserves
his fate. Anyone with no more
sense than properly belongs to a
child out of swaddling clothes must
j realize at a glance the tremendous
! perils in the speculative situation ns
it is just now. Precedent and tradi
tion indicate that such a panic of
1 purchase as has prevailed in Blooms
burg for some time past is liable, if
not certain to be succeeded by a
panic of "realization". The inevit
able reaction that has been predict
ed will come some day and with all
the more precipitancy and violence
because ot its postponement. It is
probably true that a beneficent deity
tempers the wind to the shorn lamb,
j but a wise lamb will prefer to hold
on to his fleece and be indebted to
Providence simply for good inten
tions. For such as shall presently
stand in want of a modification of j
the blasts there need be small
sympathy. The signs of the im-1

Brothers Lose $80 in a Lumber Gamp-
The Hughesville Mail says that ou
Thursday of last week the men em
ployed at the lumber camp of Charles
W. Sones, about four miles from
Eagle's Mere, received their month's
wages, and all retired that night
happy. Upon rising on Friday morn
ing the happiness of two brothers
named Simmon was turned to sorrow,
as they discovered that while they
slept some person had stolen all their
Lmoney, amounting to about $8o.W A
systematic search of the camp was
made, but without success.
At a meeting of the congregation
of St. Matthew's Lutheran Church,
held at the close of the regular ser
vice Sunday evening, it was de
cided to extend a call to Rev. J. K.
Byers, who for the past five years
has been pastor of the Lutheran
Church at Pennbrooke, Pa. He is
a graduate of the Theo!ogical Semi
nary, Gettysburg, and preached in
the church here three weeks ago.
Whether lie will accept or not, is
not yet known. x
A girl was recently caught kiss
ing her sweetheart and her mother
gave her a caustic lecture. The girl
defended herself by saying that she
was only following the teaching of
her Bible, and when asked to ex
plain, quoted: "Whatsoever ye
would that men should do unto you
do ye even so unto them." The
mother was stricken speechless.

Where Fishing is Good-
In a letter to his brother Oscar,
Louis Lowenberg, of Seattle, Wash
ington, says that he fished for three
quarters of an hour in Puget Sound
the other day and caught ninety
pounds of cod and herring ranging
in weight from one and a half to
three pounds. Some people may
doubt the accuracy of the story but
Senator Herring who had fished
on the sound says that the fish are
very plentiful and are easy to
catch.
Mr. Lowenberg has a very good
position in a large clothing store
and likes the country. In the letter
he says he went out to see Jack
Steveuton, last year's Normal star,
pitch a game of ball. He was iu
fiae form and is establishing him
self as one of the best pitchers in
the western League He also met
George, better known perhaps as
"Bungy" Reed, formerly of Dan
ville, but who is well known in
Bloomsburg, and had a long talk
about old times.
Carrie Nation cleared $3,000 on
a recent trip to the Pacific coast
and she has purchased a house in
Topeka, Kansas, for dependent
wives of drunkards.
Miss Katie Stanley of Sixth street
who for the past six weeks has been
critically ill with nervous prostra
tion is slowly recovering. Dr.
Hower of MifQinville is atteudiug

While excavating for the new
court house at Wilkesbarre, work
men found the remains of a rail
road track 12 feet under ground. It
was laid in 1868 by the Lehigh
Valley along the old towpath to
hold the right of way.
At the Ferudale power works,
north of Sheuandoah, young Sam
uel Brobst, of Ringtown, while oil
ing machinery, met death in an un
usual form. His coat-tails, fanned
by a draft, caught in the machinery
holding him fast, and he was hurled
around a line shaft for an hour be
fore his body was discovered, hor
ribly mangled.
At a meeting of the Wheelmen
Tuesday evening a committee of
five was appointed to draw up a set
of resolutions on the death of Paul
Traub. It was also ordered that
the club charter be draped iu mourn
ing for a period of thirty days.
This is the first death, in the club
since its organization several years
ago. "
Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Deitterick
and Mrs. William K. Deitterick of
Espy were the only witnesses of a
nuptail event which was solemnized
in the parlor of the St. Elmo Hotel
Monday alternoou. The bride was
Mrs. Lavina Arter of Unityville
and the groom T. B. Gordner of
Pine Summit. Rev. J. D. Thomas
of the Reformed church performed
the ceremony.
William Coffman who signed to
play ball the coming season with
Bingbamton returned home ou Sun
day. He was spiked in a game
against Syracuse on Tuesday, and
was granted a leave of absence un
til the wound heals. Although he
promised the manager to return, it
is just possible that he will remain
in Bloomsburg. Out of six games
played last week Binghauiton won
four.
Marvelous voices arc possessed by
the singers with the great Barlow

beauiiful boy vocalist from the choir
of Grace church, Chicago, will ren

In accordance with the bill which
was signed by Governor Penny
packer bullfrogs and terrapin have
been placed in the category with
other game and herealter will re
ceive the protection of the state.
The bill in part says that "It shall
be unlawful to catch, take or kill
any bullfrogs only from the first
day of November to the fifteenth
day cf March iu each year. Any
person offending against this act

BLOOMSBURQ, PA.
A Williamsport man, says the
Dushore Review, cut the spurs off
from a game rooster and turned him
into a yard with another game
cock, and let them fight until the
spurless rooster was killed. He
later paid $13 in a fine and costs
for his cruelty and begged like a
good fellow to have his name sup
pressed. Why man, who was
created a little lower than the
angels, should make a brute of
himself we fail to understand.
J. G. Sherwood, of Moreland
township, Lycoming Co., died at
the home of his son, Levi, Thurs
day morning last, at the age of
eighty five years. He is survived
by six children, as follows: Mrs.
Henry Wilbur, of Carbondale; Levi,
of Moreland; Mrs. Charles Berger,
of Jordan; Mrs. Alexander Colley,
of Benton; Philip, of Benton; Mrs.
Alfred DeKald, of Fishing Creek.
The funeral took place Saturday
morning, from the M. E. church at
Opps.
It pays to be fair and square in
this world whether you have a
conscience or not. A whole lot of
money will not recompense one for
the loss of his character and conse
quent self-respect. The shifty,
two-faced unreliable man may make
some sharp trades and gather in
some coin by his dishonest games
but in the long run he will get the
worst of it. lie will some time be
estimated at his true worth and
passed by as not wanted, the same
as a bogus dollar or a counterfeit
bill.
Chief of Police Adam Clayberger
of Berwick brought Paul Thiele of
Nescopeck to Bloomsburg aud
placed him in the keeping of Sheriff
Knorr to await the May term of
court. The prisoner is a self con
fessed thief, he having admitted be
fore 'Squire Beishline that he stole
a pair of hoise clippers, a pair of
gloves and a set of harness from D.
W. Mitchell & Son, liverymen of
Berwick. He sold the articles to
liveryman Ruch of Berwick. Mit
chell & Son, however, regained
possession of them.
Tioga county, Pennsylvania, has
37 granges and a combined mem
bership of some 2,000. They have
both a fire and life insurance com
pany. The former carries risks
aggregating some $2,500,000. The
county is spun over with farmers
telephones and the rural mail car
rier will soon traverse every road.
At their recent Pomona, held at
Wellsboro, the members of Marsh
field Grange rendered music that
would make professionals look to
their laurels and a troup from
Charleston Union Grange played a
drama in 0 way that gave the large
audience a delightful evening.
The chief element of a nation's
strength is not fleets and armies,
nor yet expanse of territory nor
manufactures and commerce. Na

To be secure a Republic must rest
on the intelligence, integrity and
patriotism of the masses. To be
truly patriotic a man must have
some interests at stake. The man
who owns his hearthstone, the
shelter and support of his loved
ones will fight and, if need be, die
for it.
How much of America's great

If the weather of yesterday can
be taken as any indication, we may
expect the real article when the
summer is a little further advanced
The mercury was up above the sura
mer heat mark at noon and there
was a wholesale discarding of winter
clothes. The heat was probably
more noticeable because it came so
suddenly. Upon looking over our
data of last year we find that the
tnermometer on the tuirtietu reg
istered eighty-six degrees, which
was several degrees warmer than it
was yesterday. Last night many
of our people were sitting out on the
porches, reminding one more of
June than an April night.
In January, farmer N. J. Bach
elder, the Master of the New Hamp
shire State Grange and the lecturer
of the National Grange, was in
augurated Governor of the old
Granite State. Gov. Bachelder

triumphantly elected, not because
be was a farmer or a ration of
Husbandry but because " A man's

any source than appeared at the
time of the announcement of his
candidacy 111 the columns of the

"k!$ kSxii SUCCESSOR TO J
Collision on Tuesday
Two cars on the Electric Railway
collided a short distance below Ber
wick Tuesday evoning, severely in
juring a number of passengers who
were thrown from one side ot the
car to the other by the violent im
part. Page Hawkins sustained a
fractured rib, Charles Stcokey a
lacerated face, Bruce Hidlay, con
ductor, a sprained back and several
others were more or less injured.
The crash it appears was the result
of running the cars too close to
gether. The one was the regular
and the other was an extra filled
with employees of the American
Car and Foundry Co. who live
along the line of the road. The
regular stopped to discharge a pas
senger and the extra was so close
behind that the motorman could
not stop in time to prevent the col
lision. FVur little Australian boys, the
oldest 14 years and the youngest 5
arrived at South Bethlehem on
Tuesday after having made the trip
across the Atlantic alone. They
were covered with taijs and direct
ions for their safe delivery and were
met at the station by their parents.
At the last regular meeting of

The May bippincott'i Magazine.
"Lippincolt's Magazine" keeps up its rep
utation for publishing a strong, bright novel
each month by presenting in the May
number one of even more than usual interest
bv (Jeorge Gibbs. This is called "The Love
of Monsieur," anil, ns the title implies, it is
l-'renchy, with a hero who is "a damon for
success with petticoats." I lis Inst love is a
fetching conception, well worth the quarrels
she provokes.
Among the hort stories there is one hV
Seumas MncManus, called "Caitlin Dhu."
The fight between Irish rivals is described in
a way which stirs sporting blood.
Readers have come to look with eagerness
for Ella Middlcton Tybout's darky parable
sketches. "Ananias of l'okelown" will not
disappoint those who seek amu-ement, and
Miss Tybout has a gift for writing diMect
which mnkes it as easy to read as "rolling
off a log."
" The Sorrow of a Setter," by Cy Warman,
is a pathetic tile of a hunting dog's old aee.
Clifford Howard's lively little Mnty called
"The Winning of Margaret Merviu" tells
cleverly how two men waste time trying to
settle which one shall have the first chance
witnmie gin mey ooin love. Aieanwntie tne
girl settles it for herself by marrying the
"dark horse," so to speak.
The name Montgomery II. Ccrse is not a
familiar one, therefore his admirable story
called "How l'titz Lost His Job" will attract
attention buth for the way it is done and bc-
cause of its timeliness to the labor question.
"That Other Kxp.dition," by Jerome Case
Hull, is a love-story of an unusual sort and
a g od sort,
l'r.incis I ymlc's tale cilled "raquale"
tun to do with an heroic Italian interpreter
and an express agent, and is well told.
A lovely natuie sketch suited to the month

Albert Williams, of Coles Creek,
has the palm for catching the largest
trout. On Monday he extracted
from Fishing Creek at a point near
the Coles Creek bridge a trout
measuring twenty-two aud a half
inches and weighing three pounds
and nine ounces. The catch is
really a remarkable one, and is
the largest caught not only this
season but for several previous
seasons. Mr. Williams presented
the fish to his sou-in-law, II. R.

of American Astronomers, contributes

forecast of "The End of the World."
This articlo is tellluglv illustrated by
Henri Lanos. " Waifs of the Street,"
by Ernest Poole, is a forcible picture of
the real life of newsboys and boot
blacks. Miss Tarbell's Standard Oil install
ment deals dramatically with "The
Crisis f 1878 "the story of the Stand
ard aggressions of that year that cul
minated in the indictment of Mr.
Rockefeller and his colleagues on the
charge of criminal conspiracy. Mary E.
Wilkins's "The Happy Day," is a
story of a French peasant fumily who
went up to Paris one disiu.l. rainy
Ascension Day to view the great Expo

Little. Surprise," is a most amusing
comedy or maybe it is tragedy of
what Mrs. Cutting calls the "supreme
stroko of suburban fate" missing the
