There are few towns the size of Bloomsburg that send so many young people away from home to schools and colleges. This is large ly owing to the fact that there are few places that have the advantages of such a college preparatory de partment as that which our Normal School affords, and also to the ex cellence of our public schools. An educational interest has been cre ated, and year by year the number of young people who are seeking a higher educational plane is increas ing. Among those who are in col lege, or are going are the following: State College : Lester Richart, Bert Rhodes, Max Dillon, Silas Riddle, Claire Henrie, David Sloan, Wells Shollenberger and Harry Jacobs. Lafayette College: Fred Welsh, third year; Reginald Hemingway and Charles Albert, second year; Walter Brooke and Milton Yorks, freshmen. Dickinson College: Ralph Smith, law department, Edward Creasy, Joe Demaree, Harry Beckley, Ralph Schwartz and Wm. Robinson. Princeton: Don Herring, Rea Hagenbuch, second year, Claude Fisher. Bucknell: Josiah Little, second year, F Herman Fritz. Trinity College, Hartford, Conn. G. Edward Elwell. Pennsylvania College, Gettys burg: Harry Dollman. Joseph A. Skeer to Phillips Exe ter Academy, Exeter, N. H.; Maurice Buck, U. of P. or Phila delphia Dental; Wm. Rabb and Hudson Mann, Philadelphia Col lege of Pharmacy. The following Bloomsburg young ladies will also attend colleges: Misses Anna and Martha Creasy and Louise Larrabee, Woman's College, Baltimore, Md , Miss Imo gene Miller, Maryland College, Lutherville, Md..

HOSPITAL The Board of Directors of the Joseph Ratti Hospital on Wednes day declared the institution open and ready for patients. Four per sons nave already been admitted The hospital is a model one with every convenience and equipment of a modern up-to date establish ment. Miss Senior is the Sunerin tendent, and Edward Leighow the Steward. Visitors are allowed on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday afternoons. It is announced that patients having private rooms only may have any physician that they want. Others who are in the wards are to be exclusively under the con trol of the hospital medical staff. Private rooms cost from $12 to $20 per week aud those patients who are able to pay are charged a dollar a day for a bed in the wards Hospital staff physicians tor the next two months are. Dr. John and Dr. Montgomery, for Bloomsburg; Dr. Reagan for Berwick and Dr. Sharpless for Catawissa. That the hospital is a boon to the community has already been demonstrated. Several operations Have been performed and more applications are coming in. On donation day last week a large number of contributions were made, aud many more will be made. The American Electric Light Co. makes the following explanation of wny their lighting has been some what troublesome of late : They say : " In order to make room for the large engine and generator to be installed at our plant it was neces sary to remove two engines and generators, thereby reducing our capacity, which is not now suffi cient to carry the heavy load be tween the hours of 6:30 and 8:30 p. m. For that reason we desire to ask our patrons to use as little light as possible during that period for the next few weeks. This will enable us to furnish all of our cus tomers with some light and not cause a breakine down of the ma chinery now in operation, thereby snutting on tne entire service. Our new equipment has been promised lor delivery October 1st., when we will be in a position to furnish the best quality of light and plenty of it. We trust that our natrons will appreciate the situation and lend us tneir assistance. v Choirmaster Resigns. At the regular September meet ing of the Vestry of St. Paul's Church, on the 6th inst. Geo. E. Elwell tendered his resignation as choirmaster, a position which he has filled almost continuously for thirty-five years.

It was decided that there should be no exten sion of the time for payment of town taxes. After Saturday 5 per cent, will be added. The question of whether the town or the poor dis trict must provide for quarantined families, was referred to the so licitor. After some discussion on the Fifth street sewer the President was authorized to advertise for bids for its construction, but not until the Council has decided what route it shall take An iron pipe was ordered laid in the gutter on Main street at the Town tlall.

Some body is violating the law. On July 22 the law passed by the last lee'slature relatine to sheriffs' deeds went into effect, which means that acknowledgement in ooen court will cease in this commonwealth All acknowledgements must be be- iore tne protnonotary, and they can be made on any dav of thevear ex cept Sundays and holidays. An other very important feature of the law is that ot recording such deeds. In the past it has been the practice to mark all deeds after aknowledce- ment in the office of the protnono tary, but henceforth they will simply be placed in the continuance docket of that office and then regu larly tiled in a separate book to be kept by the recorder.
