A RARE OLD BOOK.
The Breeches Bible.
A. H. Black recently purchased a
coov of the "Geneva Bible" first
published in that city in 1560, and
first printed in the English language
in 1576 and ns late as 1640. This
copy was printed in 1589 by the
Deputies of Christopher Barker,
Printer to the Queen's Majestie, in
Black Letter. Not long before this
Bible was printed in English, the
translation and reading of the Bible
in the common tongue was treated 1
as "heresy ana a crime punisLanie The town council, at a meeting
by fire." At the time when this on Monday nignt. ordered the steps
Bible was printed it was no longer 1 removed. No further action Ins
a forbidden book, and almost the t vct been taken, but the Press own
only book within the reach of the ers declare that under the advice of
common people, and this the Gene- their attorney they will not regard
va. or lsreecnes mule was tne
one used in the devotional exercises
at home. It receives its name
"Breeches Bible" from Genesis,
third chapter, 7th verse, "Then the
eyes of them both were opened,
and they knew that they both were
naked, and they sewed fig tree
leaves together, and made them
selves breeches."
Shortly before this time and on
through the reign of James the
First a great moral wave, under the
influence of the Bible, swept over
the country, and a counsel of the
most learned scholars of the day
were appointed by King James to
make a translation of the Bible,
which was undertaken in 1604 and
concluded in 1611. Our Bible is
based upon the King James version.
England at that time became the
people of a book and that book was
the Bible. The greatest authors
and scholars the world has ever had
lived then; they were great because
they were saturated with Bible idi
oms, language and thought, and
drank so deeply from the wells cf
Scripture that one may say, with
out any straining of the evidence,
without the Bible these men could
not have been. This is the rarest
Bible that we have ever seen.

Steps on the Pavement.
Whether or not the town ordi
nance passed many years ago, giv
ing to property owners the right to
use four feet of the pavement "for
sucli properly built steps as may be
necessary to enter doors of dwell
ings and business places" is a valid
ordinance, is a question that seems
likely to get into court through the
controversy now on between the
town council and Messrs. Vander-
slice & Eyerly, at the new Morning
J ress building now being erected
The Press people claim that :
building permit was granted them
under this ordinance, and the ordi
nance has not been repealed. To
change the steps now would be very
expensive, if not impossible. Many
business places occupy more space
w ith their steps than these

probably get into court, if pressed.

Death ot Bishop Potter.
Bishop Henry Codman Potter,
of New York, one of the most emi
nent prelates in this country, died
at his summer home in Coopers
town, Tuesday evening, after an
illness of many weeks. His career
was a remarkable one. He was a
powerful influence in the Protestant
Episcopal church; in reform move
ments in New York city, and in
state and national questions. Many
degrees were conferred upon him
in recognition of his ability.
In his death his church has been
deprived of one of its most able
bishops.
He was the son of Bishop Alonzo
Potter, of Pennsylvania, and a
nephew of Bishop Horatio Potter
of New York.
Soon to Finish Bridge.
Before the end of this week should
everything move along as smoothly
as it has fot the past few weeks,

bridge will be swung and persons
can cross the new structure. So
rapid has the work progressed that
one of the spans wa9 erected last
week in forty-eight hours.

ed it is the intention of the Mifflin
ville citizens to have a demonstra
tion and the structure will be ap
propriately dedicated.

West Point Opens to Filipinos.
At the opening of the fall term
of the United States Military Acad
emy at West Point, one of the new
cadets will be a young Filipino.
He will be the first of his race to
seek a commission in the United
States army through the military
academy. He will receive his com
mission in June, 191 2.
William H. Taft, when secretary
of war, was an enthusiastic advo
cate of the plan to educate bright
young Filipinos at West Point, and
the last congress added a clause to
the military academy bill, provid
ing for the admission of four de
serving young Filipinos to the West
Point corps of cadets.
In a few days questions to be
used in the examination will be
mailed to Manila. When the ex
aminations are over Col. Scott, the
superintendent of the military acad
emy, will announce who the fortu
nate applicant is.

The roads were weary stretches
of dust; the fields were dry, and the
grain was parched; housewives were
keeping their windows tightly clos
ed to prevent the carpets being en
tirely buried beneath the flying
dust; automobilists were cursing
out the highways; only the street
sprinkler man was happy. Now
these were the conditions that ex
isted previous to Tuesday night.
And then came the rain the first
for days and freshened things up.
Everybody welcomed it, and felt
better. And yet, not everybody,
either a pessimist who drove up
from Danville yesterday morning
was overheard to say some unpleas
ant things about the mud. ' Alas,
man is a difficult animal to please.

An Immense Road Project.
Macadamized Highway Irom Blnghamton to
Bainmore.wouin Past Through
Bloomiburg.
A macadamized road, to be built
by the State aud to run all the way
from Binghainton to Baltimore,
passing through Bloomsburg on the
way while following the winding
course of the Susquehanna, is a
dream of automobilists that at last
is approaching realization. Auto
mobilists of Wilkes-Barre or.rl vi-
cinity, stirred by the efforts to oh- 1
tain good roads in all parts of the
State and by the proposal of State
Commissioner of Highways J. W.
Hunter to have the county seat of
each of the sixty-seven counties in
the State connected by a State road,
are proposing the building of a
State road from the junction of the
Susquehanna river aud the northern
bonier of the State and the junction
of the river and southern border.
The object, they say, is to make a
good road between Binghamton and
Baltimore, "which shall on one side
of it or the other follow the course
of the Susquehanna river, passing
through Bloomsburg. They have
developed a great deal of enthusi
asm about this proposed road, and
it is not unlikely that active meas
ures will be taken to bring the plan
to the notice of the State Legisla
ture at the next session.
Political Parties Remiss.
It has been discovered at the
State capitol that the Prohibition
and Socialist parties have failed to
file their lists of presidential elect
ors as required by law. Should
they fail to do so soon they will not
be represented on the ticket this
fall.
A dangerous counterfeit $io gold
certificate, series 1907, check letter
D, has been discovered. The num
ber of the note is A1437936, and it
is sufficiently well executed to make
it dangerous among inexperienced
handlers of money.

TOUR TO YELLOWSTONE PARK AND THE
CANADIAN ROCKIES.
In northwestern Wyoming in the heart of the Rocky
Mountains, lies one of nature's richest treasures the Yellow,
stone National Park. Set apart by Act of Congress for the.
enjoyment of mankind, it is America's greatest show ground.
To visit this Park is to see nature in a variety of majestic
moods. Mammoth hot springs, with multicolored terraces,
cliffs of glass, beautiful lakes, mighty falls, glorious canyons,
and geysers of all descriptions, are fotjnd in this wonderful
region.
On August 24 a personally-conducted tour through the
Yellowstone Park to Portland and Seattle, returning through
the magnificent Canadian Rocky Mountains, will leave the
East by special train over the Pennsylvania Railroad. Five
and one-half days will be spent in the Park, one day In Port
land, one day in Vancouver, one day at Field, B. C, one day
at Laggan, Alba., one day at Banff, and stops will be made
at many other points of interest. The tour will cover a pe
riod of twenty-two days.
As an educational trip for either teacher or scholar, this
tour is especially attractive, as it covers a section of America
rich in scenery and replete with the marvelous manifestations
of nature.
The rates, which will cover all necessary expenses, will
be $246 from New York, $243.20 from Philadelphia, $241.20
from Washington and Baltimore, $230.80 from Pittsburgh,
and proportionate from other points.
Preliminary leaflets may be obtained of Agents, and de
tailed itineraries will be ready for distribution shortly. Per
sons desiring to avail themselves of this opportunity to visit
the Park of the Nation should make application for Pullman
space early, as the party will be limited. Make application
through local Ticket Agent or address Geo. W. Boyd, Gener
al Passenger Agent, Broad Street Station, Philadelphia.
