IT.OM COURT BOUSE C0RRIL'0E3-
The past week lias been a record
breaker for marriage licenses.
Wl.en the Colvmman man entered
the Protlmnotary's office yesterday
and inquired of Mr. Tmvilliger
how many he had made happy dnr
ins the week, that obliging official
drew from the drawer a pack ol
lrti'i-cs several inches in thickness
and handed them over with the re
mark "and they're still coming".
He appealed to know what he was
talking about as the sound of his
voice had scarcely died away until
a couple entered. "A marriage
lionise if you please," cautiously
demanded the groom-to-be. He
tried to appear at ease, but his man
ner betrayed him and his face turn
ed several colors, as the document
was being filled out. The girl was
not so backward, and the writer
concluded that she had been there
before, but when the official inter
rogated her as to whether or not
she had ever been married before
she rejoined in a loud clear voice
"no sir, this is my first attempt."
Her answer illustrated to the writ
er how very easily a fellow can be
mistaken. She made several other
remarks that amused those in the
office at the time, and it required
quite an effort for them to keep
straight faces. When the couple
left everybody indulged in a good
hearty laugh. Following are the
licenses:

HlTil GET3 BAIL-
Hat Been released From the Northumber
land County Prison.
After several unsuccessful at
tempts, Jacob Ilite, who stands
charged with a deliberate attempt
to 'murder Mrs. Fred Krebs, at
Northtimber'aud, has secured bail
and has been released from the
county jail where he has been con
fined siuce the day following the
deed.
On the charge of breaking and
entering with intent to commit a
felony the bail is fixed at $500, and
on the more serious charge of at
tempted murder the amount is
51500, making an aggregate sum
of $2000. The rumor that the de
fendant had already left town, cur
rent on the street, is false, although
the belief that the case will be
settled out of court is growing
stronger daily.
Mrs. Krebs has almost entirely
recovered from the effects of the
wounds. District Attorney Cum
tilings expects to be ready to try
the case at the next term of crimin
al court, which will convene on the
first Monday in February.
Jucke Miller and the Food Commission.
Dr. 15. II. Warren, State Dairy
and Food Commissioner, is indig
nant at the action of Judge Miller,
of Mercer county, who has refused
to sentence violators of the Dairy
and Food laws that have been con
victed iu his court. Judge Miller
holds that the procedure of Dr.
Warren's bureau is persecuting and
lacking in equity.
He contends that grocers and
saloon-keepers, not being expert
chemists, should at least be warned
previous to arrest and be given an
opportunity to determine whether
the goods they have for sale are
pure or adulterated. Dr. Warren
declares that Judge Miller's atti
tude will seriously interfere with
the enforcement of the law, and he
proposes to make an effort to com
pel the Judge to pass sentence in
all cases where there is a convic
tion. We are producing nearly 18,000,
000 tons of pig iron every year.
The question very naturally arises,
To what use is this vast amount of
pig iron put? for after all, pig iron
is but the crude material Irom which
the finished products are manufact
ured. For the purpose of answer
ing this question, the Scikntific
American has issued a special Iron
and Steel number, which includes
the lesult of many visits made by
the members of the Scientific
American staff to the great iron
and steel works of the Pittsburg
district. The issue contains full
statistical data, well illustrated by
diagrams showing the growth and
present colossal proportions of this
industry, and a discussion of the
causes which have led to our un
questioned supremacy. It is a
note-worthy fact that the Scien
tific American was permitted to
inspect and photograph especially
for this issue several great works,
to which the management have
hitherto strictly refused to admit
any other representatives of the
press. The illustrations which are
presented have been especially pre
pared for this issue, and have never
before been published. The articles
have been written only after a per
sonal inspection of each plant des
cribed.

Thrice A Week Edition Rjad Wherever
the English Language It Spoken.
The Tin ice-a-Week World long
ago established itself in public favor,
and it is now recognized as the
strongest publication of its kind in
the United States. Advertisers
and publishers seeking clubbing
combinations and they know best
universally testify to this. It is
widely circulated in every State
and Territory of the Union, and
eveh in remote South Africa and on
the gold fields in the deserts of
Australia. These are the things
that tell.
Next year we have the Presi
dential campaign, in which all
Americano are deeply interested.
Already the issues are being dis
cussed and the two great parties are
preparing for the first moves. You
will not want to miss any details,
and if you subscribe now your
year's subscription will cover the
campaign from beginning to end.
The Thrice-a Week World is
absolutely fair in its political news.
Partisan bias is never allowed to
affect is news columns, and Demo
crat and Republican alike can ob
tain in its pages truthfui accounts
of all the great political contests.
In addition o all the news, the
Thrice-a-Week World furnishes the
best serial fiction, elaborate market
reports and other features of in
terest. The Thrice-a-WeeiC World's re
gular subscription price is only
5t.ooper year, and this pays for

The January Lippmcjtt's Miigazina-
Mr. Edgar Fawceti's nnw novel in the
New Veat' nui.ibcr of "l.ippir.colt's Maga
zine" is "Doreui." lis heroine is a young
English girl whose deitiny is fixed by a
chance resemblance which she lears to n
girl who has died, lamented I y parents nnd
lover though fiom far diffcient motives.
The plot is woven with infinite skill and
power, and under the visililc romance lies a
suUle love-interest which woiks along to a
triumphant finish.
.Marie Van Vorst contributes a short but
misterly tale called " The Lady and tho
Property." This is a love-story in which
there is involved an estate and a grasping
parent as well.
Ed. . -nd lioltwood contribute? "The
Muiri.rge of Stitch O'Sullivan." A man in
h.ird luck saved from suicide by a sympathe
tic woman repays her by risking his life in
her behalf. But he has not counted on
woman's unriasonab.eness and the result is
not what he hoped, though it sets him on
his feet financially.
"How I'lacule Won the Capital Prize,"
by Krancis I.ynde, is a rather oul-of-the-ordinary
kind of story of an unsophisticated
Creole, the winner of ihe capital prize.
Wginia Tatnall Peacock's child-story
cal.ed "A Little Girl's Kingdom" is sweet
and appealing to grown-up hearts.
A truly humorous contribution comes from
the pen of John Swain under the title, " A
Matrimonial Lottery." In this the "race
question" is shown up in an original and
veiy amusing light.

nothing of the heart, for he can only ob

Contributions of verse aie from Phoebe

A witty contributor calls the "Walnuts
and Wine" deportment the Magazine
"dining-room," presumably because there's
"plenty of spice and all that's nice " to be
found there.
For fast and reckless driving of a
horse which terminated in the de
molition of a wagon, Chas. Mac
Crea, ot Berwick, was placed in
jail on Saturday. MacCrea was in
the employ of D. W. Mitchell &
Son, liverymen. The team was
theirs and it was at their instance
that the arrest was made. Judge
Little, at the recent session of court
made an example of an offender of
this sort, but it doesn't appear to
have had the desired effect.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Jesus' Divine Origin. Many (if ottr
lessons, possibly most, have to do with
tbe details of Christian living. Frequent
ly, however, our attention should be re
called to the fundamental facts of the
religion we profets, and we must not for
get that these fundamentals are the de
cision places of our study. What do
we believe about God. about Jesus Christ,
about mankind? Much of what we be
lieve about God depends upon what wo
believe God's Son. A part of this los
r,on lays great emphasis upon Jceus' Di
vine origin, or, we should say. His hu
man and Divine origin. He was a man,
Just like ourselves in many particulars.
That He was no more than this, some
men would have us to believe. On the
other hand, some have laid so much em
phasis upon His divinity that the human
Bide of Jeeus' character seems entirely
crowded out. Our record declares he
was the son of Mary, human, and the
Son of God, Divine. If we accept the
New Testament record as given in all
four Gospels, we cannot Ignore either. In
Him God and man are one.
The Babe Jesus. Joseph and Mary ot
Nazareth, Galilee, In accordance with the
imperial edict ordering that a census of
the Roman world be taken, went back to
the home of their ancestors, which hap
pened to be Bethlehem, a Judean village,
to be enrolled with their fellow tribes
men of that place. The couple found
themselves too late to find entertainment
at the Inn, and were forced to find shel
ter In a stable. Here the Child Jesus was
born. In poetic contrast to the birth
In tbe stable Luke tells of the vision and
the visit of the shepherds. Nothing more
beautiful is recorded anywhere In all
literature. At night an angel appeared
to these humble men, and they were the
first to learn that wonderful message:
"Be not afraid, for behold, I bring you
good tidings of great Joy, which shall be
to all people: for there Is born to you
this day in the city of David a Saviour,
which is Christ the Lord." Then was
heard the angel chorus: "Glory to God
In the Highest, and on earth peace among
men, In whom He Is well pleased." Mat
thew records the visit of the wise men.
The Boy Jeeus. Eight days after the
birth of JeBUs He was taken to Jeruca
lem and circumcised according to the)
Jewish ritual law. Then came the Jo
seph's vision (Matthew 2:13-18) and the
flight Into Egypt. After about two
years the death of Herod permitted the
return of the little family to their home
In Nazareth. Here Jesus was educated
in the Mosaic law, taught to attend the
synagogue, and possibly picked up some
thing of the art of the carpenter, from
being with His father. And during all
this time (quoting the revised version)
"The Child grew, and waxed strong,
filled with wisdom, and the grace of God
was upon Him."

GRANGE NEWS.
By J. T. Ailman. Press Correspondent and
Socrotary Penn'a State Grango.
Men of brains nre rapidly devel
oping the science of agriculture.
To master these principals and to
dpdIv them practically requires
education and skill second to none
of the industrial arts. The coming
farmer must be 110 less a student
than a worker and he will be re-
cccnied amone men and respected
as such. The grange is in the lead
of the agencies that are bringing
this about.
The receipts of the National
Grange treasury for 1903 were 40,-
208.39.
Second to no meeting ever held
in point of numbers, earnestnefs
and harmony by Bradford and. Sul
livan counties Pomona grange, No.
23, convened in a two days session
with the members of Open Hand
grange, at LeRoy, Nov. 20th and
21st. Three hundred enthusiastic
patrons were present from nearly
every section of the district which
embraces twenty-seven active
granges. A fifth degree team con
ferred the degree of Toniona in a
highly efficient manner. Resolu
tions favoring Direct Legislation
and extending and reducing the
cost of the parcel post system were
adopted.
The telephone and the trolley are
rapidly banishing the isolation of
of the farm. As these extend rural
life loses its most objectionable feat
ures Men can live in the country
and yet be in constant touch with
their fellows. This means a
higher home life for the people of
the farm. The grange has already
advocated better education for the
tillers of the soil. With advance
of education the grange itself will
increase in numbers, in influence
and in power. Organization is a
condition of civilization; the one
grows with the other.
The question of help on the farm
is one of the most serious ones that
confronts the farmer at present.
Its solution need not be difficult.
The prudent farmer will carefully
note his possible labor force for the
coming year and plan his work ac
cordingly. Instead of trying to
stretch his force over a large acrage
he should contract his acres to his
force and let nature clothe the rest
with grass. The grange has no
Amen for the man who is praying
for help to glut the market with
farm products.
At the recent National Grange
meeting Hon. Aaron Jones, of

New Hampshire, Lecturer and C.
