The Children's day services in the First Methodist church on Sunday evening were perhaps the most suc cessful ever presented in the town, certainly among the best we have seen anywhere. It was children's day from the be ginning. The church had been hand somely decorated the previous day by a committee under the direction of Mrs. F. P. Strayer, and wore an air of fes tivity. In the morning the pastor, Rev. O. S. Metzler, preached a sermon appropriate to the occasion. Twelve children were baptized at this service The Sunday school attendance was as usual large, and the work enthusiastic. But it was at the evening hour that the children ruled supremo. The church was crowded to its fullest ca pacity. The Sunday school itself usu ally is nearly sufficient to do this The children were everywhere, their fresh young faces making a pleasing picture. A magnificent program followed, requiring two hours in its rendition, yet not tiring the audience apparently in the least. The program seowed careful thought and exhaustive drill, and the committee certainly earned the hearty congratulations they received. Mrs. Geo. Metzgcr, Jr., Mrs. Othmer, Miss Grace Lloyd, Mrs. C. W. Shaffer and Miss Myrtle Shaffer were the members of this efficient com mitttee. The Sunday school orchestra enlivened the occasion with some very pleasing music The parts of the children were exceedingly attractive. The primary department, over a hun dred strong, opened the program with "March of the Bells," marching in and taking places on the capacious plat form which had been erected. It is impossible to select parts for special mention where all performed their parts so well. PROGRAM. A very striking part of the program was the graduation exercises of a class of 24, from t'ne primary to the intermediate department. A collection aggregating §4O was taken, which is to be applied to the educational work of the church.

John Juribi, an Italian, while assis ting in taking down a large iron valve, weighing 700 pounds, from the hot water pipe, at the furnace was struck on the head with the same, it "getting away" and falling.

Pa. •Slß:— Your Honor's attention is hereby re spectfully called to the followiug laws of the State of Pennsylvania for the protection of life and limb, all of which are now in force. It be comes your duty as the Chief executive of your municipality, having taken a eolerau oath to preserve order and maintain the peace, to issue a proclamation forbidding the sale or use of any such weapons or explosives within the limits of your jurisdiction as set forth in these laws. On the occasion of our National celebration each year, more persons are maimed or killed than are sacrificed in many of the great battles in Manchuria. The recent heartrendering calami ty in Few York harbor which sent a thrill of horror through the civilized world, was more than paralleled by the sacrifice ofl'ered on the last Fourth of July on the altar of a spurious and lawless patriotism. Sudden death inflame and smoke is terrible, but death in the lingering tortures of lockjaw and tetanic convulsions is far more terrible. The following is a report, by a reliable author ity, doubtless far below the actual fact, of the casualties resulting from the toy pistol and the cannon cracker July 4th, 1903. Died of lockjaw caused by injuries 40ti Died of other injuries 60 Totally blind 10 Number who lost one eye 75 Arms and legs lost 54 Number who lost fingers 174 Number injured who recovered 3,98:1 Total number casualties in the V.
