Garvey, the former Willianisnort priest and now the Bishop of the Altoona diocese, will sing pontifical high mass at 10 o'clock. The call for a meeting to discuss the advisability of changing our form of municipal government is a move in the right direction. Whether to change our charter so that we will come under the general borough law, or remain as the Town of Bloomsburg with some modifications of the charter are matters to be considered. A change in the matter of electing council men so that two will be elected each year, instead ot electing an entire council every year, is certainly de sirable, and it- is also a question whether we have not given the cumulative system of voting a suf ficient trial to show that we do not want it any longer. When a meet ing is called there should be a large attendance. Price ol Spectacles and Eye Glasses. Lenses, according to kind, Wo. to 11.00 fuch. Iliroeui Lenses, $il 0 10 fH.OO a pitlr.

Henry W. thampiin, m. v., ivojmshurg, 1'n. PROF. J. HARRIS 0TJRRA.N. Many people in Bloomsburg have very pleasant recollections of Hal. Curran, son of Prof. II. A. Curran formerly of the Normal School. He was known here as a bright young man, of sterling character, and had many friends. The news of his death w is received here oil Wednesday with deep sorrow. The particulars of his demise are con tained in the following dispatch rom Carlisle: Prof. James H. Curran, of the Tome Institute, Port Deposit, Md., died at that place Tuesday morning afier an illness from typhoid tever He was a brother of Mrs. Prof M- rgan aud a graduate of Dickin son, and has many mends 111 car isle. He was nbout 33 years cf nee. with a brizht tuture ueioie him. and his untimely death will be greatly regretted. Prof. James Harris Curran was born October fifteenth, 1872, at Wriirhtsville, Pa. He was a son of Prof. Hueh A. Curran. He pre pared for college at Bloomsburg Normal, and entered Dickinson in 1802, and graduated 111 iSg.t., and from the law school in 1806. He tudied in Germany and then be came a teacher 111 Hackettstown seminary, and in 1900 became pro fessor of economics and mathemat ics in Tome Institute. Funeral services were held at Port Deposit Wednesday. Further services were held at Carlisle today where interment was made. U THE COLLISION Dr. II. Bierman was a passenger 011 the train that collided with a freight at Huuluck's Creek last week Wednesday. When the crash came lie was wedged between the seats, and his hat flew half the length of the car. He was shocked and bruised, but soon got out and helped tne wounded as well as he could with nothing to work with. He had to improvise splints aud bandages as best he could. He says that these things should be provided in each car as well as the case of tools now there. If people are wedged in a wreck so that it is necessary to use axes and saws to get them out, they are like ly to need surgical appliances after they get out. Dr. Bierman dressed many wounds before any other physician arrved. Speaking of the suggestion that Snyder, the freight engineer who caused the wreck by not taking the siding, may have died before he reached the siding, Dr. Bierman says that Snyder was still breath itig when he reached him. Rev. D. N. Kirkby and son Kent, of Newark and Miss Jean Andrews of Bloomsburg were among the passengers. PROPOSED UHANULS IN COURT nousE A petition has been circulated among members of the bar, asking the court to make an order provid ing for certain changes in the inter ior of the Court House. Nothing is asked for that will involve any expensive alterations in the build ing, but merely a change in the use of rooms for certain purposes so that the arrangement will be haud ier for the court and the public The law library is entirely too small and the petitiou asks that the present gtand jury room be taken for this purpose, and the grand jury be given the traverse jury rcom on the third floor, and the latter take the law library which is close to the jury box. A railing is asked for in front of the grand jury box, and an order is wanted re serving the space around the bench for the exclusive us of the bar. Judges Fox and Krickbaum will meet with some of the lawyers on Friday afternoon, and discuss the propriety of making these changes. . m . MUSICAL AT Y. W. 0- A. A Musical will be given at the Y. W.

Saturday night one of the most helpful and practical classes meets, the English class taught by Miss Mary Knapp and we urge every girl who can, to avail herself of this opportunity. W&8THE ENGINEER DEAD? Many of the Delaware, L'icka wanna & Western Railroaders be lieved that Engineer Chas. Snyder who was responsible for the wreck last Wednesday, in which six per sons weie killed, was dead when the wreck occurred and that he died of heart disease some minutes be fore. They say he had worked on the road many years; that he knew the running of trains perfectly; that he always had been accustomed to lie r.t the Hunlock's swi.ch for Mie passenger train to pass, and that it was impossible to account for any posMblo negligence or thoughtless ness. Many ar convinced that he died or was overcome by heart disease before the siding was reached.
