Joseph Jefferson died at 6.15 o'clock Sunday night. The sickness ot Mr. Jefferson, which ended in his death, contract ed it is believed, while on a recent visit to his son, Charles B. Jeffer son, at Hob Sound, a few miles above Falm Beach, where he went to meet his friend, former Presi dent Cleveland. It is believed that from a slight indiscretion in his eating, there, he suffeied an attack of indigestion. Since his return to his home this condition grew steadi ly worse with slight rallies until the end. Joseph Jefferson was born in Philadelphia, February 20, 1829, and his first appearance on the stage was at the age of three years, when be figuied as a child in Kotzehue's drama, Pizarto, or, The Death of Rolla. In 1843 he joined a party of strolling players who toured Texas and followed the United States army into Mexican territory. He returned north and took minor parts in several small theatres and unsuccessfully tried to manage per formances at Peale's Museum in Philadelphia. In 1849 he married Miss Lockyer, an actress. He continued doing theatrical work, and in 1856 went to Europe for his health and later on his re turn became stage manager of a theatre at Richmond, Va. Up to this time he had merely attained the standing of a respectable stock actor. In 1858 as Asa Trenchard in Our Ameiican Cousin, with Laura Keene's famous company, he first came prominently before the public. In this and 1 several other dramas Jefferson iairly surpassed all his fellow actors. He later became a star performer in a number of plays. After a trip to California in i860, where he played with little success, Jefferson sailed for Australia, where he acted successfully for four years. Against his inclination in Sept ember, 1865, ;he made his debut in London in the Adelphi Theatre in Rip Van Winkle, playing the part for more than 150 night 3 with great success. He appeared also i n other English cities and returned to America in 1866. Jefferson's first wife died and he married again, in 1867, his bride being Miss Sarah Warren. Since then bis performances had included a few favorite parts of which Rip Van Winkle was the chief one. For over twenty years he played this drama, during which time he visited almost every city in the United States. Jefferson's pastimes were those of a painter and an angler. In the latter he was a frequent companion of ex-President Cleveland, and these two men were very intimate lriends. Some of his paintings have distinct merit. He has also written an autobiography. Wheat Outlook Good. A Large Amount ot Wheat Wat Put Out Last Fall. j No one drives into the country these days without being struck with admiration for the wheat fields which are already growing luxuri antly and present a beautiful emer ald appearace. The farmers of the surrounding valleys put out a large amount of wheat last fall, but in tend to devote more attention to corn and potatoes than in former years, as experience has shown 'hat there is more money in those crops than in wheat. The high price of wheat of the last six or eight months has caused more wheat to be set out, but the increase is not what some people would have expected in view of the high price lor grain.

Tomorrow will be Arbor Day, as has been appointed by Governor Pennypacker a day on which the minds of the people should be di rected to tree planting, the import ance of whbh should be particular ly impressed upon the youthful mind. In order to make this im pression upon the young it is in tended that the public schools shall observe the day in accordance with the recommendation ot the gov ernor. Both the boys and girls should be taught the importance of tree culture, forest preserva tion and the care of birds. These are all essential to the public welfare the trees for their beauty, general usefulness and healthful qualities ; the forests for their com mercial value and climatic effects; the birds for the service they render in the preservation of the crops from the ravages of in sects. The observance of the day should not be confned, how ever, to the educational institutions. Every citizen has an interest in the matter to which the governor's pro clamation refers, and Arbor Day should De observed in a practical way by the authorities and citizens. Elks Installed New Officers ol B. P. 0. E's were Ushered Into Office Thursday Night.

Bucher against the borough of Sun bury, the jury returned a verdict shortly before noon Wednesday, awarding damages in the sum of $2,083. 33 Bucher fell on the ice covering the pavement in front of the court house and injured bim aelf so severely that he became per manently crippled. At a previous trial against the county he secured a verdict, but on an appeal to the superior court the same was set aside on the ground that the county was simply the agent of the state, and therefore was not liable for damages. Suit was then instituted against the borough with the above result. Work Will Soon Be Started A car load of tools to be used in the construction of the river bridge at Latawissa, arrived there on Fri day, as did also a carload of timber for the false work. This is an indication that the work on the bridge will soon be started, all of which is joyful news to the people residing on both sides of the river. Pure Water- Bloomsburg has pure water. Sev eral analyses have recently been made, which failed to find any con tamination in the supply furnished by the Water Company, One test was made with water drawn from a spigot at 'the residence of R. C. Butler on Fifth Street, where two children have been ill with typhoid fever, but the water was found pure. Co Hatch For Williamsport. The "Gaietfe' and "Bulletin" Says It was a Swatfost. The Normal boys were like as many pygmies in the hands of the Williamsport leaguers Monday afternoon. Tbey boarded the air ship early in the game, and re mained in the clouds throughout the long drawn out nine iuniugs. In speaking of the game the Gazette and Bulletin says: The Williamsport base ball team held a swatfest at Athletic Park yesterday. Everybody hit the ball and hit it hard. The Bloomsburg Normal team were the victims, and the way those outfielders chased leather was a caution. Lynch essayed to pitch for the visitors, but after he had been safe ly hit five times, had issued three passes and made three wild pitches Bray was called in to finish the first inning and the game. Bray did good work until the filth inning when they took his measure for eight hits and followed in the seventh with 12 more. The same paper prints the follow ing notes: Stone had a finger hurt in the first inning and Aldinger finished the game behind the bat. Schmaltz put up a good game at third. He was one of Blooms burg's best. Williamsport had 18 men at the bat in the seventh inning and the scorers were correspondingly busy. When Bloomsburg pulled ou that double play in the eighth inn ing VVeimer fell over in a faint. Dr. Aldinger wants to know what there is aoout Williamsport that affects his team in such a man ner. One of its two poor games last year was played here, and yes terday was, to use his expression, a larce comedy." We did not intend to mention the score, but Dr. Aldinger says he wont take it to heart, so here it is: Williamsport 32, Normal 4. Direful Predictions. Dr. MacDonald Says New York Will Be Destroyed By Earthquake. Dr. J. MacDonald, an astrologer. of Bingbamton N. Y., in an al manac just published by htm makes some sensational prophecies of great events to take place within the next two years. Among the prophecies is that a portion of New York city will be destroyed by earthquake some time during the present year. He says: "The Iofs of life will be terrible. The shock will be felt at least 200 miles inland. There is a grave possibility that the whole lower half of Manhattan island-will slide off into the bay." Dr. MacDonald also prophesies the end of the Russian-Japanese war during this year, and says that the elements will assist greatly in the almost total destruction of the Japs. Japan, he says, will be near ly wiped off the earth by earth quakes and a great tidal wave. He declares that in 193 1 the United States will extend from the North to the South Pole and that railroads will be running without interrup tions from Point Barrow, in Alaska to Cape San Diego, in Terra del Fuego. He predicts a famine for 1908 throughout the world. Spotted Fever Instructions. Dr. Benjamin Lee, secretary of the State Board of Health, has di rected officers of the local boards to take the same precautions against the spread of spotted fever, or cerebro-spinal meningitis, as is the case with other infectious fevers. The infectiousness of the disease has been established beyond ques tion. Crousb. Died April 16, at the home of his son Samuel Crouse in Fishingcreek township, Mr. Nelson Crouse, aged 83 years, 3 months and 5 days. STORY OF CAL-HA.

Keiter of this town, the act of assembly appropriating $22,- 500 for the erection of a monument and memorial tablets on the battle field of Fredericksburg to com memorate the bravery of the Tenn- sylvania regiments in Humphries' Division, was passed by the late legislature. The Morning Press savs : It was after Mr. Keiter had been to Antietam last year where he noticed that the services of many other Pennsylvania regiments had been commemorated that the thought occurred to him that the services of the Pennsylvania regi ments that went to make up Hum phries' division, and to which he belonged, deserved a monument from the state, as others had se cured. 1 The charge at Fredericks burg being their most notable en gagement it was there that he thought the monument should be placed. On his way home irom Antietam he took up the matter with others who were in the divis ion and after his return home fur thered the movement. It at once struck a popular chord on the part of the other members of the regi ments yet surviving and the pro ject was successfully pushed, ter- . ! - A 1 . '. nr V.a n n minaiing in me paasmg ji mc ap propriation by the Legislature. The Governor win now appoint six Commissioners, one from each regiment named, to carry out the provisions of the Act. Blind Boys Football. Football and many other outdoor games are played by the blind, certain changes being made ao that In each game the sense of bearing takes the place of sight. In football, for Instance, a tiny bell Is fastened to the ball, and by the bell's tinkle the ball's location Is de termined. The blind delight In races of all aorta. They do not run towards the tape, as the seeing do, but toward a bell that jangles briskly. It la odd to see the blind at their games. Tbey play gravely and tbey maintain a profound silence, for If they make a noise the voices of their guiding belli could not be heard. Break In the Canal. A breach has been made In the Manchester ship canal at Runcorn, in England, and when the tide la out water pours Into the bed of the River Mersey at the rate of 70,000 to 100,000 gallons an hour. As, how ever, the tide sweepa Into the canal twice In every twenty-four hours, no appreciable difference appears to be made In the level of the waterway. The danger lies In the possible under mining of the wall at this point The break occurred at a point where great difficulty had been experienced In building the wall. 8AGE SAYINGS. All In your mind thoughts. It tells on many people gossip. It seems to come to nought the dude's mall. The haughty centaur never came down off his high horse. When a man sees an oppertunltj that the time he ought to sieze It. The scene shifter doesn't need much faith to move mountains. A worn-out hat sometimes seems to have been racked to pieces. Even a man who speaks good Eng lish uses bad language sometimes. World's Jewish Population. It la estimated the total Jewish pop ulation of the world Is 10,671832. The United States has 1.127.2G8; Austria Hungary, 2,071,254; Germany, 686, 848; Russia. 6,189,401; Turkey, 350, 000; the British Empire, 276,614; Mo rorr-o, 150,000; Abyssinia, 120,000, and other nations less numbers. France has only 80,000, against Germany' population of nearly 600,000; Norway and Sweden together have only 3, 402, and, strange to say, Spain baa only 402 Jews within her boundaries. Crooks' Finger Prints. The London police have a collection of 70,000 sets of finger-prints of crim inals. It has been completely ostab llnhed that the thin capillary rhlges on the tips of the fingers undergo no natural change of characteristics from tho cradle to the grave. Collided With a Deer. A boy by the name of I'elkey while riding from Van Buron. Mo., to Cari bou on a bicycle took a "header" from a very unusual cause. While coming down a hill he ran into a door, smash ing the wheel and throwing him sev eral feet. The dier eacapud without injury. WIDOW'S A r PR A ISM HNTS.
