The knowalls on Capitol hill at Ilarrisburg arc all nt sea regarding whom the governor is going to ap point to the position of major gen eral in the national guard, made vacant by the death of Major Gen eral Wiley. The friends of Gen eral C. Bi w Dotmhertv. command ing the Third brigade, say that by all the rights of seniority he should have the position, as he is the sen ior brigadier, while the friends of General Bowman, of the First bri gade, arc persivtent that the IMiila rk'lphhu shall be appointed. It is ccnerallv conceded that it will be One of these two generals. If one j of them is appointed it leaves a va ' cant brigadier eeneralshin which 1 the governor will have to fill, j Then, again, theie must be a bri- j adier general to appoint for the new Fourth brig.de, but it is tin ! derstood that Col itiel Ch-ment, of! the Twi ltth regiment, will be the b:ii;adier for the new brigade. Governor Stuart, as iiMial makes no sign of whom he will honor, but it is understood he has given the matter serious consideration with Adjutant General Stewart on the situation and will announce his appointments some time this week. It goes without saying that th ft lends of thosj gentlemen who want to decorate their uniforms with stats have been writing the governor setting forth their claims, and it is also understood that the governor is giving each claimant all the consideration he deserves, but he will not give the least hint of what he intends to do, and is usu ally reticent. WHY NOT? New York has tunnelled the North and lust Rivers to connect its terminals; Chicago long ago burrowed under the stream which pierces its heart; Philadelphia and Camden are urging a thoroughfare under the Delaware; Boston is go ing to make an underground con nection between the North and South Stations; we need not men tion the subways of London and Paris. In view of the benefits arising from engineering stunts of this sort, we are at a loss to under stand why no one has proposed to dig a rapid transit subway under the Susquehanna, and connect the Kast Bloomsburg station with civil ization.

The year in which "America" was first sung in public is fixed at 1 S 3 2 , but the exact pi ice and date were not definitely ascertained. "Hail Coltimbi 1" is strictly a pro duct of the United States in both words and music, in contradiction to "Amen 'a" and the ''Mar-Span-! gled Banner," both of which part ly originated in Kngland. DEATH IN DRY SHAMPOO. Consternation Caused in London by a Society Woman's Tragic Fate. London, England. The sudden death of n society woman during tho process of having her hair dry clean cd is causing the greatest controversy. Hairdressers protest that this method of hair cleaning Is absolutely safe, but doctors insist that tho woman was suffocated by the fumes of the chemi cals applied to tho hair. It is said that the tetrachloride of carbon, which forms the basis of the cleanser used, was far too dangerous to bo handled by hairdressers. It Is allied to benzine but resembles chloroform in odor. It produces death with an intervening period of anaesthesia. It is likely that a law will be passed forbidding its use, as the case of a French actress, who was fatally burn ed during the process, has been fol lowed so quickly by tho present case of suffocation as to arouse much feel ing regarding tho dangers of the pro cess. Embarrassing For Her. A Milwaukee man and his wife recently received a call from an old friend whom thev had not seen for years. Just before the three sat down to a lit'le supper in the Ger man style, the wife, seizing a fav orable opportunity, whispered to her husband: "We have only three bottles of beer in the house just enough to go around. Don't ask him to have mole." ' Very well," answered the hus band, who chanced to be thinking of something else at the time. Half an hour later the host, to his wife's consternation, asked the guest to take more beer. The in vitation was politely declined, but still the host did not desist. A doz en times the caller was urged to drink; a doz.in times he firmly re fused. When he had departed the wile took her husband to task. 'What on earth made you persist so? Didn't I tell you there were only three bottles'? Why did you insist upon his having more beer, more beer, more beer?" "Mercy!" exclaimed the hus band. "I forgot entirely." "But." continued the wife, "why did you suppose I was kick ing you under the table ?" "My dear," blandly replied the husband, "you didn't kick me ! " January I.ippincott 's. A COLD ONE.

With the dawn of the new year, the magazine world puts its best foot forward, and proceeds to fulfil promises made in enticing forecasts of go:d things to come. One of the most interesting of these tyro pub lications is the January I.ifincoff s, which doesn't at all suffer by com parison with its attention-attracting Christinas issue. The complete novel is "The Heaven of the Un expected," by Lucy Meacham Thurston. This writer's name is comparatively unknown to the reading public, but any one who can write stories so absorbing as "The Heaven of the Unexpected" is not likely to remain link. .own long The scenes are laid in New York and in a Southern mountain ous region. The character drawing is cleverly done, and th local color excellent. The author has a rather unusual, tense style of writing which grips the leader and quite refutes to le: go. A most important feature is the first of a series of articles on "What is Wiong withOur Public Schools." The author is .osenh M. Rogers, who some time ago contributed a I seriesc died "IvliKating Our Boys" 1 to this m igaziue. Mr. Rogers spent ! many months acquiring data for these papers, and they are both in teresting and informative. The school-house, even more than the battleship, is the buKvark of our nation, and, whether yen have children of your own or not, you will find in this series much to in terest you, much to make you think. Brief articles on topics of current interest will I e found in the depart ment. "Ways of the Hour." They are 1 ne .New ear, Dy 1 nomas L.

Rupert Hughes, who wrote "The Richest Girl in the World" and other famous plays, is the author of a Tragi-Comedy entitled "On the Razor Kdge." It is very funny and easily "actable." Worth-while short stories are "The Joyful Mother of Children," by Grace MacGowan Cooke and Caroline Wood Morrison; "Bread and But ter," by Mary Hirst; "The Cos tume and the Cowboy," by Stan ley Olmsted; "On the Road to Buenavista " by William MacLeod Raiue; "A Flier in Stock," by Edward Crosslaud Smith, and "The Mascot of the Primer Class," by Lucy Copiuger.
