Death came suddenly to Gorntr Thomas, ihe well known composer and trmsiral director at his home in Danville Monday evening, and the anooGoeetnent was a severe shock to the public. Hi illocs was brief, so brief in fact that but few people were aware of it. He had bad a spef. of sickness recently, but had been gaining in strength and was feeling much better until Sat urday vfben he was again taken to his bed. It is tbe belief now that in h desire to prepare and make ready ais display lor the fair at which he has for years been an an nual exhibitor, he devoted himself too closely to business and overdid his strength ' Gomer Thomas w as born in Pcrtts rille. fifty-eight years ago. He lived nearly his entire life in Dan ville. He was a brother-in- law ?f Ir. Parry, the celebrated composer of Wales, and was himself a com poser of ability. He was also wide- !y know n as a musical director and a dealer in pianos, organs and other musical instruments. For njry years he maintained muic rooms in this city; latterly he conducted branch stores in Elocmsburg and Sunbury. Gomcr Thomas was devoted to his prolc-ssion. He w as a generous man slid lime and again during his lile he gave his valuable services as musical director without recom pense to help along some worthy enterprise designed as a benefit for some church or other institution. Just recently he agreed to act as musical director in the forthcoming production of Pinafore and at the time of his death was preparing to begin rehearsals. His demise leaves a vacancy in Danville.wb.ich may not soon be Ued. The de ceased is survived by his wife and one son. Edward P. Thomas, who holds a position in Cleveland. A Useful Dcrice. Oblosser and Robbins, of Xight street, are exhibiting at their stand on the fair grounds a useful -device for holding up buggy shafts. It is a straight stick with a book on it so adjusted that it can be used on any end-spring or side-bar rrcgon. Shafts are always in the way in the stabe, and this is to hold them up. The price is only 25 cents. Stop and see it. The holder is patented and they have county rights for sale. Write them for terms to agents. Genuine husbands who visit Eloomsburg on such an occasion as this fair week, snd apply for ac commodations at hotels are not uumerous. Yesterday a fellow tc companied by a brunette who was possessed of youth and considerable beauty, and who was elegantly . gowned, was retused-accommoda-tions at one of our hotels because ihe forgot to bring their marriage -certificate with his baggage. Un fortunately for him he met a friend of his when he applied for quarters, who greeted him by saying "Hollo .old boy, who's the girl?" and which the proprietor overheard, ami he was requested to leave.

The vaudeville pait of the program was good, and includes moving pictures and illus trated songs. The company should draw well during the week. RELIABLE ESTRICS AT THE f Alt.

A. T. G. Apple tni Hen. H. M. Hincklflf . When we remember that the funda mental principle! for which thectiurch of Christ stands today include good citizenship as one of the christian rirtues. it can be said that every meet ing of every Christian Endeavor Society has been a meeting for good cituenship. The late President Mc Kinley once said at one of the Chr s tian Endeavor convention?: "NVhen you ate serving roan by helping him to be betteT and nobler, you are serv ing your country," and so since purer and better service to our fellow man is one of the prime endeavors of our Society, its work must theefore al ways tend to produce higher and purer ideals ol civic doty. There are a few facts confronting us at present which indicate a condi tion of public sentiment and a trend of current events that give cause for profound rejoicing and good courage to us all: 1. There is coming to be a deep er and more general realization that there are duties of citizenship and that these are a most important part of the duties of the christian in their broadest scope. 2. It is being shown that the world of politics is not hopelessly corrupt, or that it becomes so, only when incor ruptible men withdraw from the field and refuse or neglect their manifest duty. 3. It is coming to be seen more clearly that citizenship means more than politics merely; that there is such a thing as what we might call public housekeeping which has the seeing after the general cleanliness, sanita tion, and good order of the commun ity: that there is the vast and compli cated machinery ot the business world reaching out even as far as relations of capital and labor, and other ques tions that enter withiu the realm of the purely ethical; that there is in this public household also the nursery and the sick room in which interests of education, care of the sick, insane, and infirm are looked after. So that to be a good citizen preeminently means to have knowledge, and heart, and willingness covering any or all the varied avenues of practical philan thropy. 4. Another source of encourage ment lies in the fact that of the chris tian manhood of him whose mortal remains the nation has laid to rest in the vault in Canton; and also of that other man upon whom the mantle of responsibility fell when our erst while President laid down his life, a martyr to the cause of good citizenship. The fact that Wm. McKinley was, and Theodore Roosevelt is a communi cant member of the Christian church; that in their company can be includ ed also the Justices of the Supreme Court, and very many others in re sponsible stations; that the strength and purity ot manhood of these is the result of their christian profession, this is enough to dispose once for all of the supcifkial plea that the religion of Jesus Christ is losing its hold on American manhood. 5. The universal revulsion of horror at the diabolic deed of an archy that struck down our President and especially the quickness with which the public conscience recogniz ed the spirit of anarchy in our midst in all forms of disobedience, insub ordination, and lawlessness from the truant school boy all the way to the murderous bomb thrower, show that our calamity so far as we can under stand it is being read aright and its lessons along lines of good citizenship are being taken to heart. Suggestions for furthering the cause of good citizenship might be classed under the heads of I. Reading. II. Study. III. Action. 1. As to the first we would suggest: Read carefully the Christian Endeav or World. Amongst a host of other good things its "Little Studies in KIDNEY DISEASE CURED By Hit New Mtdlclna.

Study among other things the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of the State of Pennsyl vania, the charter of your village, town or city. 3. Use the columns of the local paper for brief pointed practical dis-i cussion of all questions affecting the needs of the community. All this may be organized and systematized along lines suggested by Dr. Samuel B. Capen in the Christian Endeavor World ot October 17, 1901. A. T. G. Apple. There isja tendency in these days to classify duties as secular and re ligious and to adopt one code of morals for one and an entirely separ ate and opposite code for the other. With the Christian there should be no such distinction between things done as christian and those done as citizen. Our duty as christian citizens is plainly taught in the Bible. We are there shown that our citizenship is in Heaven; und we are also shown that as citizens of Heaven we have a mission, and a very important mission, for our Master on this earth; and what we do here we do as citizens of Heaven. We are to be patriots, but we are to be christian patriots. We are to glory in the conquest of our country's flag; we are to desiae to place it far on the outer limit of all the land which God may give; but only that over it and supreme above it we may place the Banner of the Lross. We have been taught in a late Sabbath school lesson that God promised to Israel every foot ot ground their feet trod uon; and God literally fulfilled his promise. I believe that promise is as true today as of old. We are to te acgressive, but we are to be aiijressive for God. Good citizenship means that we j shall uphold with jealous care God's Unlisted Mining Stocks, you money on any of them. Holy Day, and stamp as a sin every attempt to weaken the force of the fourth commandment. Good citizenship demands that we discourage in every way the corrup tion of the ballot, and that we class with Benedict Arnold and Judas Iscariot, the man who attempts to buy or sell the priceless heritage of the American citizen. Good citizenship means that we do all we can to exalt our country and better its institutions, knowing that in doing that we are honoring our Master. I trust as Christian Endeavors you may realize these truths and endeavor by your work to exalt American citizenship. Yours very truly, H. M. Hinckley.
