F Residents of Sunbury are excited through the circulation of a rumor that the Pennsylvania Railroad company plans to move its shops from the Erie& Baltimore terminal of their divisions and concentrating its working force at Sunbury. Such a change would mean the employ ment of thousands of men in Sun bury shops The fact that the Pennsylvania company some years ago purchased a large tract of land near Sunbury leads the people of that city to believe that the project is now about to be realized.

Some Imoortant Provision cf New Fish Cod of 1 909. The fishing season opened on Tuesday. Iu view of the various rhnnges- made in the fish laws by the art of May 1, 1909, it would be well for every fisherman to pro cure a copy of the new fish code and make it a careful study. A few of the most important pro visions of the new law are here set j forth. j Among the fish that come in are black bass, Susquehanna salmon, perch ond pickerel. All kinds of fiih are in at this season. Brook trout will go out 011 July 31st. The Length op Fish. It shall be unlawful to catch and kill or have in possession any white bass, rock bass, trout or yellow perch less than six inches in length; any black bass, small mouthed bass, or large mouthed bass less than eight inches in length; or any blue pike or Susquehanna salmon or any pickerel less than twelve inches in length. Measurement to be made from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail. Ncmber That May Be Caught. It shall be unlawful for any one person to catch, kill or have in possession, the same being killed, more than forty trout, or more than twelve small or large mouthed bass, or more than twenty-five rock bass, white bass, pickerel or Susquehanna salmon. Unfortunately the opening of the season does not find fishing condi tions very good. As a result of the rains the river is rather higher than desirable. John Robinson Coming. A Big Menagerie. The John Robinson Shews carry a large amount of livestock. Horses numbering 300 have to be cared for every day. It takes tons of proven der to feed these horses and the menagerie. The animals of the menagerie are generally of the most interest. The hardiest and longest lived and most intelligent is said to be the elephant. Some of the largest of this show are used to push the heavy wagons and cages about the "lot" when the show is setting up. One morning an elephant became enraged at his driver and wheeled quickly cud struck at the man with his trunk. The Leady eyes of the animal glistened as he trumpeted his anger. The keeper lashed the oig brute with his whip and sub-j dued him without any damage' being done. Had the man been hit! by the blow it would have killed I him. When an elephant gets so! bad that be is dangerous the own trs have the animal killed, and a substitute takes his place, although the killing of an elephant means a loss of several thousand dollars. The most delicate animal is the giraffe. They take cold easily, and often die of hasty- consumption. Seals are hardy, but they are diffi cult to train. Probably the hardest animal to train in the world is the African zebra. They will not give up to rrian. They will be killed before they will obey. Sometimes hybrids are seen, and they resemble the full blooded animal. The Robinson Shows carry everything that can be found in a good-sized city. With the aggregaj tion is a blacksmith, a barber, har- nessmaker, two painters, gilders cooks, bakers, electricians, a minis ter, the show's own attorney, and its two veterinary doctors, beside its own family physician. Not many shows carry' their own electric light plant. This is a feature of the Robinson Shows, and the big tent ij as light as day within. Line men are employed to keep the plant in running order. No one who is cot in touch with the show can form any idea of the enormity of it. It is a small city in itself, constantly on the move, but with all kinds of methodical provis ions for its running. Two exhibits are given dtirf, rain or shine, and in case of ine'e ment weather, waterproof tests in" sure ample protection and comfort. The big shows will be seen here at Bloomsburg Monday June 21.

'They said that I bad nerroni dys pepei. I was put on a liquid diet for three months. Falling Birth Rate. Decline in This Country in tht Last Century ane its Cautet. The chief clerk cf the Census Bureau, V. S. Rossiter, reports an extraordinary dec'ine in the birth rate during the last century. At the census nearest to 1900 the ratio of children to each woman 16 years of age and over was a scant cne, instead of two in 1790. In Great Britain the ratio was one, in France .8, in the German Empire 1.1 and in Italy 1.1. "Since the United States, although aided by large numbers of immigrants from-all parts of the world, is now maintaining a ratio of children to females 16 years of age and over practically the same as that shown by those of the lead ing nations of Europe," he says, "it is clear that population condi tions in the Republic are tending to become more lite those in other civilized countries. "The proportion shown for five of the New England States and for New York is the same, or nearly the same as the lowest European ratio, that of Fiance. This is due to various causes, such as the ten dency of population toward the city from the country, the gradual adoption of apartments as homes, the more exhausting struggle for existence in large cities, etc. "One-half of the white population of the country is composed either of foreign-born persons or the native-born children of foreign parents. This class of citizens is found almost entirely in the New England States and the middle West, the South having kept its individuality of race. In the Middle and New England States the foreign popufation formed in irjo more than half of the whole white popu lation, or 51S in every 1000. In the Southern States foreign citizens, or children born here of foreign parents, were only 79 in every 1000." In the early days, says the Post Graduate, the country was occupied almost entirely by the English (83.5 per cent.), who with the Irish and Scotch made more than 90 per cent., the Germans having less than 6 per cent, and the Dutch only 2 per cent. There is little dif ference in the population of the sexes. In 1790 the male population was 50.9 per cent, and the female 49.1 per cent. The figures in 1900 were 50.2 per cent male and 49.8 per cent female. FarntFopSaicfc OOO l'niPw. i! Eargzixrt. pr&Mi? iLjwm:. u: fr ; rmj IL PL iu. E. A. STROCT CO..
