COMER THOMAS DEAD
End Came Suddenly and Un
expectedly at His Home
Monday Evening.
An Annual Fair Exhibitor.
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.

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.

science of government, such as Amos

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.
