8 THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA. THE COLUMBIAN. BLOOMSBURG, PA. TIIUKSI'AV, NOVEMBER $. 1903. MISS WINIFRED MOMMA. Sudoen Death ot Daughter o( Mr. and Mn Ellis L. Mumma. Tlic Announcement of the sudden death of Miss Winifred Irene Mum ma, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kllis L. Muni ma. which occurred at Huntingdon, Pa. on Thursday, was a shock to her many mends in Bloomsburg. During the con struction of the Columbia & Mon tour Electric Railway, Miss Mum ma, spent some time in Bloomsburg with her father, who was a member of the firm ot M. F. D. Scanlau & Co. contractors for the road. She was here on the evening the first car was run from the car barn to Jefferson street, which occurred on July 30th 1901, on which occasion she acted as the motorman. She was a granddaughter of Hon. B. F. Meyers, ol Harrisburg, president of the road. In its account of her death the Harrisburg Patriot ol Fri day says: Miss Mumma only 1 short time ago spent a week with her grandparents here, before going to Pittsburg to attend a house party at the home of ex-Governor William A. Stone. When here she complained of a slight cold, but seemed in her usual s;ood health, but on Monday of last week Miss Mumma left Pittsburg, going to the home of her aunt, Mrs B. F. Africa, at Huntingdon. On arrival there it was found that ber temperature had risen to the alarm ing height of 105 degrees, and that she was suffering from a ceverecase of typhoid fever. Dr. C. A. Rahter of this city, was sent for, and her parents were summoned from Sea Girt, N. J., their summer home, but in spite of the best medical aid, she died at 9 o'clock yesterday morning. Her brother, Benjamin Meyers Mumma, studying at the naval preparatory school in Anna polis, arrived in Huntingdon only a few hours before her death. Miss Mumma was well known in musical life and was a violinist of much talent. She was a pupil of Ysaye, the Spanish virtuoso. Two yeaisagosbe made her debut at the home of her grandfather and was very well liked among the younger social set. The funeral took place from the residence of her grand parents Sat urday afternoon. Many friends from this city, Huntingdon. Phila delphia and Pittsburg were present, the house being filled. The services, beside the casket, which was surrounded by flowers, were conducted by the Rev. Earnest F. Smith, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal church, who was assisted by Rev. Dr. D. M. Gilbert, pastor of the Zion Lutheran church, and Rev. Dr. Ellis N. Kremer, pastor of the Salem Reformed church. The services were very simple. Mr. Smith read the Episcopal burial service and made a short address and a quartette singing "Peace, Perfect Peace," and the beautiful words of "Abide With Me". The interment was made in the Meyers vault, in the Harrisburg Cemetery. Will Have Waiting! Room- The Columbia & Montour Elect ric Railway Company is negotiating with the First National Bank peo ple for the lease of the frame build ing on the Square now occupied by the Bloomsburg Locomobile Club. If they succeed in securing it, and the indications are that they will it will be converted into an office and waiting room for the accommoda tion of the public. There has long been a need for a room of the sort, particularly in the cold weather, where passengers waiting for cars can take shelter, and it would be impossible for the company to find a more desirable building. November 24th is the date of the Wheelmen's mastodon eutertain ment. WE OLD RELIABLE Absolutely Pure. THERE IS HQ SUBSTITUTE Snyder Surprised 'Era. The great live bird shoot between the team represented by John (. Hartunn and that headed by O. B. Bellick was pulled off on the grounds of the Rupert Gun and Rod Club, Saturday afternoon. Har ni a 11 says the result was no surprise in fact he wonders that the defeat was not more emphatic. The sur prise of the afternoon, was the work of I. A. Snyder. He shot iu William Cody fashion, and but one out of ten got away from him. The old "ringers" will probably bear him in mind when arranging future events. The scores made follow: harman's team.

The hall was magnificently decorated, with flags, bunting, autumn leaves, corn and pumpkins, livervone complimented the young ladies on the beautiful appearance of the hall and it certainly did give evidence of a rare degree of knowledge on the part of those who had this feature in charge. Oppenheim's orchestra furnished delightful music. Every dance ou the pro gram was encored, some of them twice and several extra ones added on. 1 he young ladies are certainly to be congratulated on the great success of the affair, and to them everyone who attended is indebted for an evening of genuine pleasure. The Bloomsburg guests arrived home on a special car arriving here about 3:15 iu the morning. Isaui the Bnake Eater Dying of a Bite "Esau, the snake eater," who was a side attraction with the John Robison circus and who. when the circus was in Bloomsburg, exhibit ed in a wagon, ou the corner of Market street, is dying at Lake Charles, La., of a snake bite with no hope of recovery. While putting into his mouth the head of a rusty moccasin, caught a few minutes be fore on the banks of Lake Charles, he was bitten on the tongue. When in Bloomsburg, the writer heard him offer to put into his mouth any snake that could be brought to him. It was impossible to ascertain Sheriff elect Black's official majority this morning. Prothonotary Ter williger and clerk, Freeze Quick were busily engaged on the returns, but up to the time of going to press they could not give us the exact vote. We can state however, that his majority will be a handsome one, and considerably larger than he expected. Itjs a pleasing testi monial of the esteem in which he is held, and he extends his sincere thanks to the voters for their sup port. The trackless trolley at Athens was put into operation the other day. It will be used for three weeks and then removed to Scran ton. These trials are simply to de monstrate to the public the advan tage of that sort of transportation. Its convenience and its cheapness are the main points. The cost per mile for constructing trackless trol- eys is about $1,600 as against $12.- 000 per mile for ordinary electric ines. Jeremiah Berger of Iola, was in town on Wednesday, and made this office a pleasant call. He is one of our old subscribers, and carried away with biin a receipt that pays his subscription up to 1905.

Arrangements are being made for a recital on the fine organ 111 St Paul's church, by Mr. William P Twaddell, organist and choirmaster of Christ's church, Rye, N. Y. He has selected Thursday November 19th, as his date. All lovers of music may be assured of a musical treat. An offering will be taken up for the expenses of the recital, and for the Choir Fund of St. Paul's. EverylK)dy is cordially invited. Dr. Jekjll and Mr- HjaV Mr. Clifford I. V'enie, who will appear hear to-night, is a most ac camplished actor. His remarkable changes from the gentle Dr. Jekyli to the tiendish Mr. Hyde are awe striking. No less wonderful are the changes from Mr. Hyde to Dr Jekyli, supposed to be wrought by the use of a wonderful chemical. Mr. Venie's support is of the best, and the comedy interspersed, and the specialties tend to make a much more enjoyable entertainment than the old version, which was utterly devoid of comedy. m 'Twas a loving couple that came down from Berwick Tuesday even ing, and as they strolled along our leading thoroughfare, both totally oblivious to their surroundings, they were the cynosure of many eyes. "Well what do you say?" inquired the Romeo of his fondest hopes, as the pair reached the cor ner of Main and Iron streets. There was a crimson flush in her face and with a look of still alarm and in a voice liquid as the Susque hanna, she answered, "I don't care". The words were sufficient to complete his evident beatitude, and arm in arm they moved down Iron street. But they were disap pointed, the minister of the young lady's choice was not in and she didn't care to have the knot tied by any other. If she really wanted the fellow she made a mistake in not taking him when he was in the humor. It may never occur to him again. A stranger within our gates on Sunday was heard to remark, "Bloomsburg is simply crazy on stocks, particularly mining stocks." It must be admitted that his state ment does not lack truth, and a word of warning is not out of order. Don't be deceived by pretty stories. It is as unreasonable to expect min ing to be remunerative except through hard work and knowledge, as it is to look for a millionaire to build a factory and give it to strang ers. There must be "value received" and if the investor will look well to securing his dues, he may rest assured that the company will not be defrauded. Investigation is the most harped on and the least heeded course in deciding upon invest ments. Did you ever .happen across Max O'Rell's definition of luck? It is worth preserving and is as follows: "Luck means rising at 6 o'clock in the morning, living on a dollar a day if you earn two, minding your own business aud not meddling with other people's. Luck means the appointments you have never failed to keep, the trains you have never failed to catch. Luck means trust ing in God and your own resources. Max O' Rell never said a wiser thing and no better definition of "Luck" can be given. It should be printed in capitals and hung up in every office, counting room, workshop and family living room Halloween passed off very quietly in town Saturday evening. There were numerous jokes perpetrated, but so far as we know nothing of an offensive nature was committed and no arrests were made. The young er generations were out in full force during the evening disguised with all sorts of grotesque makeups. It was the most orderly celebration of Halloween we have ever known.

The card issued by Mr. James Magee 2nd for the Carpet Mill party last Saturday evening was a pretty folder of four rages. The first page contained the invitation, the second page gave a list of committees, the third gave the musical program and the fourth a list of dances. The card was tied with red, white and blue silk ribbon. Cigars. The Sweet Yaras nre the finest in Bloomsbure for a smoke, try them, at Mercer's Drug ana Bookstore. Some of the weather sharps are predicting an open winter, basing their opinion on ths fact that the witch hazel is in blossom, which they claim to be an infallible sijrn of a mild winter. Then too they say the hornets' nests are built up on the branches of saplings, a dead sure sign of a mild winter. Mrs. Ella Crawford, relict of the late Glen Crawford, and daughter of Hon.

The latter is Miss Minnie Marr, of town. One of her brothers was shot in the eye while out hunting on Monday. The funeral will take place today at two o'clock. Statistics show that fully twelve per cent, of the deaths in the United States are due to nervous diseases. We move too fast, fret too much and are too easily disturbed about both trifling and weighty things. Put on the brake and take things more calmly.
