COMMERCIAL
MOSEOM
Mr. John J. MacKarlane, Librarian
ot the Philadelphia Commercial Ma
•earn last night addressed the teachers
of the oounty and some others in the
High School aaditorinui ou the sub
ject of Japan, dwelling principally on
the products of that country. The ob
ject of the address was to iuterest the
eduoatora of the county in the Phila
delphia Commercial Museum and its
proposition to furnish free to the
•ohools of the Commonwealth a ool
leotion of the wide range of exhibits
that make op the museum.
Dr. W. P. Wilson of Philadelphia is
a director of the Oommeroial Musenm
and a leading spirit of the enterprise,
wliioh has as its objeot the advance
ment of popular education along the
line of commeroe. The museum was
first fostered by the City of Philadel
phia,but daring the last session of the
Legislature an appropriation of |25,-
000 was made by the State to enlarge
the museum's scope of usefulness and
to make its exhibits available to all
the soliools of the State. In this way
will be met the need for education in
regard to commercial product", the
better titting ohildren of today for the
duties that will come to them later in
life as the future merchants and man
ufacturers of this oouutry.
The Commercial Museum has already
some seven hundred collections out in
the State, each collection comprising
•bout four hundred exhibits, three
hundred being actual produots and
one hundred photographs. Pretty near
ly the whole world is represented in
the oollectiou with the exception of
the European countries,which furnish
bat few sneoimen».
Three hundred collections are pacx
ed up at the muaeum and way be had
b; the schools for the asklug. all that
ia required being that the looat mem
ber of the Legislature endorse the ap
plication and the school district re
ceiving the collection agree at its own
expense to provide snitable cases for
the exhibits.
The oases, it is true, form an item
af ooat winch ia some instances may
deter the acliool authorities from avail
ing themselves of the collection. Ur.
MaoFarlane, yesterday stated that to
display the collection to the best ad
vantage it wonld reqnire six shelves,
each thirty feet long. At some places
less apace i8 ooonpied by paoking the
photographs In a drawer and placing
on shelves only the actnal products.
Where the cost is not a factor the
want of available pace for the collec
tion sometimes stands in the way. The
rolleotiou will add immensely to the
Interest in the study of geography and
It ia likely that in view of all the oir
oamstanoeß neither of the above ob
jections will be permitted to weigh
too heavily.
Mr. MaoFarlane'a address last night
proved very interesting. As above
stated he restrioted himself wholly to
Japan, wliioli sufficed as a specimen of
the whole. Among the immense num
ber of exhibits from the land of the
Mikado were the following of especi
al Interest: Silk eggs, coooon, moth,
mulberry leaf, raw silk, wild silk, of
which pongee ia made; also tea, me
thod of firing and other processes
ueceaaary for preparing tea for mar
ket; rice plant, rice unhulled, also
hulled—polished and cleaned for mar
ket. There were photographs Illustrat
ing Japanese customs, showing the
various kinds of Japanese shoes, Jap
anese carpenters planing backwards,
■Tlnrikisha or carrying chair and man
and donkey going to market in whioh
the harness and tho shoes of both man
aud donkey are made of rice straw.
W. L. ricClure Treasurer.
At the last ineetiug of the Soldiers'
Monument Committee Mr. J. H. Goes
er tendered his resignation as Treasur
er of the monument fund assigning as
m reason the fact that every bit of his
time is occupied iu looking after his
varied interests. The faot ia well
known that Mr. Goeser is ono of otr
busiest aB well as most enterprising
oitizena. His excuse was regarded aB
a good one and his resignation was ac
cepted.
At the same meeting Mr. W. L. Mc-
Clure, Cashier of the First National
Bank, was eleoted Treasurer of the
Soldiers' Monumeut fnnd and yester
day the formal transfer of money was
made. There is no intention to permit
the work of soliciting to lag but every
effort will be put forth to raise the
mouey needed for a monument before
spring.
The next phase of the work will be
the collecting of money already sub
aoribed aud for this purpose the solic
itors will during the uext few days
make another trip over the territory
canvassed.
Girls Not Anxious to Marry.
That Stroudsburg girls are having
too good a time to think of marrying
is given oat as a reason why the thirty
odd young men, members of the Ush
ers' association of Methodist ohoroh
there are still hiittile. Monday even
ing was the time net by the Rev. Dr.
Bennett,pastor of the church,to marry
the yoong men free of charge, bat no
application was made.
Dr. Bennett's chnrch is full of mar
riageable men, and he wants to see
them mated, believing that it will in
crease their interest in the charoh.
The men appear williug, bat, as oue
pat it,"the girls appear to be in no
harry to become hitched to serioas
charoh members."
Sunbury's Oldest House.
Bonbary "antiquarians have agreed
that a house on Third street jointly
occupied by M. L. Heudrick and B. F
Bright is the oldest structure now
•landing in that borough. The origin
al deed for the lot bears the signature
of John Penn and the date of February
4, 1776, the fifteenth year of the reign
of Qeorge the Third. The considera
tion was an annnal rental of seven
shillings, and one of the conditions
was the erecting of a dwelling twenty
feet square within three years.
All horses should be well shod aud
shoo Id not be allowed to stand on the
street without being blanketed.

SUNBURIAN
SWINDLED
Repeated exposures has failedgto be
a safeguard and no less than a hun
dred Snnbury residents have again
been viotimized by a fake magazine
subscription solicitor.
For some time the Curtis Publishing
Company, of Philadelphia, who pub
lish the Saturday Evening Post and
the Ladies' Home Journal have offer
ed free scholarships at any of the lead
ing institutions of learning to the per
sons securing the greatest number of
subscriptions to the journals, A few
weeks ago a dapper yonng man giving
the name of C. A. Roberts came to
Sunbury and made a canvass for sub
scriptions to the Saturday Evening
Post on the pretext that he was trying
to win a free scholarship. The reg
ular price ol the publication is 11.75
a year, but by special arrangemeut he
claimed to have with the company he
offered it at 11.35 a year and as an in
ducement for payment in advance lie
would give the choioe of a large and
selected list of standard books.
From the reports coming in he was
successful in landing over a fiuudred
victims. Not receiving the premiums
within a reasonable length of timo one
of the number wrote to the Curtis
Publishing Company aud this week
received a reply that the man was an
imposter aud that they would pay a
reward of s.'s for any information
leading to the arrest and conviotion
of the man.
Uniforms Selected.
Oaptaiu John O. Groome, who has
been spending many months in organ*
izing the State constabulary, has de
cided upon the uniform which the

arms. The leather belt will contain
sockets ou the left side for twelve
cartridges, aud holster on the right

HYDRANT WATER
TO RE ANALYZED
Dr. 0. Shults, Secretary of the local
Board of Health, is preparing to send
a sample of our river water to the
Philadelphia Laboratory for analysis.
The low stage of the river during a
month or BO past together with the
pollution of the Btream by Aaylnm
sewage and the prevalence of typhoid
fever at Berwick aud other points
above us has had tiie effect o' making
many people solioitous as to the pur
ity of our water supply. The Board
ot Health has con(1 deuce in the gener
ally efficacy of our Alter plant and re
gardless of the conditio of the river
have doubts whether bacteria or im
parity in any form will be found in
our hydrant water. To quiet all fears,
however, they have decided to test the
matter and will prooure an analysis
as above related.
There was a nine foot flood on the
river yesterday and the water was still
rising. Naturally, the immense vol
cme of swiftly flowing water is rela
tively free from sewage or any tiaoe
of pollution from infeoted towns and
the river at present ooe would think
would be the last place to look for
baoteria whatever its condition may
be in other respeote.
Dr. Shultz yesterday stated that he
would take the water to be analyzed
from the reservoir at the Alter p'aut,
where in his opinion conditions are
about the same as existed before the
riße in the river. It will be some'days
before a report as to the parity of the
water will be rcoeived. Meanwhile
with the river at its present stage the
public will rest with a feeling of com
parative security,although where boil
ing the water has been practiced it
would not be inadvisable to continue
the precaution
Birthday Party.
Miss Florence Reich entertained a
party from this oity at her home in
Mahoning township, Saturday even
ing in honor of her mother's birtl.ilav.

GRAND JURY
FINISHES WORK
Willi the rendering of a verdiot in a
Sliamokin assault and battery oase the
last regular term of orimlnal oourt of
Northumberland county of tho year
came to an end shortly before noon
yesterday.
The Grand Jury aoted on thirty
eight oases,returning twenty-two true
bills and ignoring the remainder.
With the exoeptiou of the spouting
and a part of the yard wall they re
ported finding the county prison in
good shape and complimented Warden
Hancock on his management.
Before adjournment a number of at
torneys from different parts of the
nouuty appeared before the body and
strongly appealed for their considera
tion to the County Commissioners for
the enlargement of the Court House.
After weighing the matter carefully
they embodied iu their repoit a clause
to this effect, stating that they truly
believed that it was niuoh needed
State College Strike Settled.
The students' strike at State Col
lege, which has caused so mach ex
citement and conjecture as to the out
come, was settled yesterday and the
men will all start on their regular col
lege work this morning.
It was entirely through the interven
tion of the Trustees of the college that
a settlement was made possible. The
Faculty has all through the trouble
shown but little disposition to treat
with the students ou the subject of
their grievances. Yesterday morning
i the Trustees of the institution met the
students at a mass meeting aud the
whole matter was thoroughly aired,
both members of the Board of Trustees
and of the studeut body making
speeches ou the subject. The meeting
ended by the appointment of a com
mittee of three students who were to
meet with a committee from the Trus
tees and Faculty, the student commit
tee to have full power to settle the
strike if they saw fit to do so.
The three cirnered meeting took
place yesterday afternoon aud lasted
until evening. The students gained a
number of concessions amoug them be
ing that no student would be suspend
ed for participating in the strike; that
cuts taken ou holidays should not
couut as exoess outs; that on Thanks
giving vacations in the future the
vacatiou will either last over until
Mouday or be but one day long; and i
that no outs be given for absences drr- '
iug the strike.

Car Load of Potatoes.
Iu view of the fact that the potato
crop this year was below the average !
yield, Grocerymau Oweu has brought

BRIDGE APPROACH
ON SOUTH SIDE
The oase against the Commissioners
of Northumberland cjunty for main
taining a nuisance in connection with
the approach to the bridge on the
South Side had beeu settled and peace
ocoe more reigns between the Super
visors of Oearhart township and the
Board of County CommiFsioners. The
temporary approach is to do service
until January Ist, wheu the new board
assumes ocntrol.
The approach at the Sooth Side has
been the source ot much contention
ever since the completion of fTTe bridge.
The approach was declared a couuty
improvement by Judge Savage,but the
Commissioners refused to enter upon
the work aud the roadway at that end
of the bfidgn lay in au unfinished
state all summer and autnmn.
On September 27th the County Com- i
miesiouers—Messrs. John Beck, George
W. Kaudenbush aud Allen W. Cooner
• —who relused to carry out the Judge's
order, were returned to Court by Qon
fctahl-j Bruce McCracken, who request
ed that they be indicted and tried on
the charge of maintaining a nuisance
at Sooth Danville, of negligence aud
of failure to do their doty. On the
strength of this retorn Judge Auten
directed the District Attorney- to pre
sent a bill to the Grand Jury.
Ou September 38th the County Com-'
missioned appealed the order of Judge
Savidge making the bridge approach a
county improvement and took the mat
ter to the Supreme Court. Ou Septem
ber 99th a true hill was returned by
the Graud Jury. The September term
of court, however, adjourned on that
day and the case WHS carried over to
December court, when it was under
stood it would come up for trial, un
less in the iuterim the Couuty Com
missioners proceeded to build the ap
proach.
A couple of weeks ago the Commis
sioner fixed up the approaoh tempor
arily,expending probably one huudred
dollars on the work. Retaining walls
were not built aud no one could claim
that the improvement was anything
like what was implied by the Court's
order.
Accordingly when December ooort
convened iu Noithumberland county,
Moutlay, Messrs. Baylor and Kioharts,
Supervisors of Qnarhart township, ac
companied by eight witnesses went
down to Saubury prepared to posh the
prosoontiou As above stated, how
ever,the case did not come to trial.
Tiie County Commissioners made a
proposition looking to settlement and
had a long tali: with the Conit. The
pending appeal of Judge Savidge's or
der probably helped to influence mat
ters a little; at all events a settlement
was agreed upon. The Supervisors
were determined to obtain the best
terms possible for the township and
wonld agree lo nothing less than that
the County Commissioners should pay
for the work done on the approach and
all the costs of the casr\ these terms
were reluctantly acceded to, which
makes Qearhart township victor at
i lie present stage of the game.
Judge Savidge stated that when the
Connty Commissioners enter upon
oftiae iu January, tie will accompany
tnem to South O.mville to look care
fully over the grouud and that he will
endeavor to liavo a suitable approach
built, one that will meet the demands
of trafflo and conform iu appearance
with tiie general structure.
State Will Regulate Autos.
State Highway Commissioner Hunt
er has organized the automobile divis
ion, created by an act passed by the
last Legislature, aud is now prepared
to furuish licenses to operate motor
vehicles and the necessary nnmher
tags.
The law this division in
the State Highway Department, whloli
becomes effeotive ou January Ist.,pro
hibits the operation within the bord
ers of Pennsylvania of motor vehicles,
unless the operator shall have procur
ed a license.
H. M. Ontshall, a former member of
the House of Representatives from
Crawford county, has been placed in
oharge of this division. Miss Sara
Weaver, of Harrisburg, has been ap
pointed clerk.
Commissioner Hunter has establish
ed regulations for the operators of
motor vehicles, which he is now hav
ing printed for the information of such
persons. These regulations oontain
the more impor ant features of the
Automobile Act of 1005, which Deputy
Attorney Oeneral Fleitz has deoided

Royal Baking Powder renders bread, biscuit, cake
and. all flour foods finer and more healthful.
**********
Baking powders made from alum, phosphates and other
harsh, caustic acids are lower in price, but they are injurious to
the stomach.
" The injurious effect of alum on the mucous coat of the
stomach is positive and beyond dispute; it is both an irritant
and an astringent. The use of alum in any article of food or
article used in the preparation of food should be prohibited."

MORBIDITY
STATISTICS
The new law pertaining to Morbid
ity Statistics went into effect on Nov
ember Ist. Under its working the
offloe of Dr. O. Shnltz, Seoretary of
the local Board of Health,becotneß the
repository of a vast array of classified
facts respecting the health of the com
munity. The Secretary's report for the
last period shows two cases of erysi
pelas. fonr oases of diphtheria, niue
oases of typhoid fever, one case of
ohicben pox, one case of pneumonia.
The law provides that as soon as a
case regarded as commnnicable breaks
oat the attending physioian most at
once report to the Secretary of the
local Board of Health, setting forth
along with the nature of the disease
the name of the patient, oocnpation,
country nativity, age, sen, color, ad
dress. couuty, date of onset, name of
householder, occupation of household
er, number of school children and
school. To faoilitato the transmission
of this informatisn blank postal oards
furnished by the municipality are pro
vided, so tbut all the busy physician
has to do is to fill in the data requir
ed and mail the card. At the expira
tion of every seveu days the Secretary
of the Board of Health in turn makes
his report to the State Department of
Health, also using specially prepared
blanks, which greatly facilitate the
wotk.
The list of diseases considered com
municable to be reported is a very
large one. The more familiar diseases
on the list are cerebro-spinal menin
gitis, chioken pox,cholera, diphtheria,
dysentery, erysipelas, German meas
les, glanders, hydrophobia, malarial
fever, measles, mumps, pueumonia,
scarlet fever, small pox, tetanus, tub
eroulosis, typhoid fever, typhus fever
and whooping cough.
One of the objectß accomplished by
tiib new law as the result of tiie very
full information sent in,will bo to en
able the State Department of Health
not only to looate every epidemic but
to trace the disease to ita origin and
to note its spread and development.
The regular reports sent into the
State Department, too, when priuted
in the newspapers as they ought to be,
will serve to keep the people posted
on tiie state of the publio health and
quiet many exaggerated and alarming
rumors as to the prevalence of dis
ease.
Fire at Washingtonville.
The even tenor of life at Wash
ingtonville was ruffled Monday by
two fire s , oue of which was quite ser
ious aud canted a great flurry of ex
oitement iu tiie little borough.
The fire occurred iu the frame dwel
ling house on Church street owned by
Mrs. Sarah Cromley and occupied hv
Watson Diehl aud family. Mr. Diehl
discovered the fire abont 8 o'clock in
tiie moruing. It was located betweeu
the kitchen oeiling and the floor of
the room above, having been caused
by the flue of the kitchen stove. The
Hre had already gtine l a considerable
headway and was burning fiercely
when disoovered.
j Mr. Dielil immediately gave the
alarm aud a bucket brigade was quick*
ly formed. It was impossible to get at
the fire outil a considerable portion of
the ceiling and floor above had beeu
I torn away. This accomplished the fire
was soon extinguished. The loss is
estimated at |SO.
The second fire, which was discov
ered before it had gained much head
way, oconrred about 3 o'olock in the
home of William R. Robinson, Market
street, and was peculiar in that it was
located in the same place and was
started by the same cause as the other.
McClellau Dielil, passing the honse,
saw the smoke issuing from the roof
aud notified the Robiusons of their
danger. The fire was easily extin
guished.
Fire Loss Adjusted.
Ohabdlee Eves aud Son, agents for
the Millville Mutual Fire lusnrauce
Company, have made the adjustment
of the loss on the J. W. Rohison barn
in Valley township. The loss of the

RUNAWAY ON :
JfIDTH SIDE
The hone belonging to the Balti
more Fruit Company, whose store is
on Mill street,rau away at South Dan
ville Saturday morning and made a
wreck of the wagou.
The vehicle was a covered one of
I the osDal sort used for delivery pur
poses. It was being driven by a hoy
connected with the concern, who was
returning from the Pennsylvania sta
tion. Just as tiie wagon tarned the
corner at Peter Burgei's the trolley
car came dowu off the bridge. The
horse at once became unmanageable.
The motorman as soou as possible
brought the car to a stop and did what
he could to avert an acoident. The
boy, however, was unable to hold the
horde and the latter made a dash for
the bridge. At the foot of the ap
proach the wagon upset and the lat
ter with the boy inside rolled top first
clown against the fence.
It was a most perilous position for
the driver, but fortunately as soon as
the upset occurred the hoise stopped
short. As it was, however, the boy's
foot beoame entangled in the mix-up
in such a way as to tear the shoe from
his foot, severing the leather from toe
to heel just above the sole.
The top of the wagou was a total
wreck. The owner estimates his loss
at fiftren dollars.
TEACHERS ARE
NOT HAMPERED
State Health Commissioner Dixon
was asked what effect the opinion of
Attorney Ueueral Carson,that parents
cannot be fined under the cumpulsory
attendance law in cases where the
children had beeu debarred from school
for not being successfully vaccinated,
would have upon the efforts the Health
Department are making to have tiie
vaccination law enforced throughout
the schools of the State.
"1 do not see," the Commissioner
replied,"that it should haveauy effect
whatever, as the Attorney General
does not in auy way question the duty
of the teachers to obey the law of the
Commonwealth and that is all we
have ever askeJ them to do.
"That brings up a point that I would
like to make plain. The teaohers iu
charge of sohools in Pennsylvania are
not required to refuse admission to
children until they are vacoinated.be
oause the Department of Health has
so ordained. It Is the law of the Com
monwealth. a law passid for the pro
tection of the public health. The
health of She people has been entrust
ed to this Department, I propose to see
to it that the Health law is carried
out. .
"Iu this dttermination I have the
00-operatiou of hundreds of local
boards of health throughout the State,
school directors aud tiie teachers
themselves. Of course, there has been
oppositiou. This was to le exptcted.
In some cases soliool diiectora them
selves have opposed the enforcement
of the law aud have gone so far as to
instruct their teachers to admit chil
dren regardless of whether they had
been vaooinated. Iu despair tlie teach
ers have written to this department. 1
fully appreciate the difficult position
that this places the teacher in. Par
ents aud school directors combine to
influence such a teacher to become a
lawbreaker. The only answer I could
give lias been to quote the law."

t and led him into the vestibule ot the
' house of mysteries, where all the toys
> that delight the childish he3rt are
1 kept in heaping piles.
' There are countless boys and girls
i in this town whose little hearts will
yearn to possess just one of these toys,
whose only yuletide happiness will be
togo with father or mother on Satur
day night or Sunday afternoon for a
walk through the shopping district,
with its big buildings that make timid
little souls afraid. And these smudgy
youngsters will flatten their noses
against the window panes aud with
hungry eyes devour the bewildering
array of toys arranged in symmetrical
profusion before them. All the long
ing of their ardent natures will surge
through their little bodies, but the
joys of being aIU to behold these
wonderful things will linger in their
mcmoiies aud make brighter the
gloomy days that travel in unbroken
succession for them.
Every merchant should endeavor to
make the best possible window displty
of his wares, not merely from the
sordid standpoint of commercialism,
but with the laudable desire to please
the fancy of the beholder aud give to
the littli ones at least a glimpse of the
many wonderful things that the gen
ius of the artificer has wrought for
the amusemint and delight of the lit
tle meu and womou of today.
No merchaut should cover liis dis
play windows on Siiuday witli oui
tains. Many poor children will have
no oppm tnniiy to viuw the toys ou
displty. It isn't lunch of a boou to
coiiier, but such as it Is slionll be
given willingly,freely, in the thought
aud belief that it may bring a momen
tary happiness to some poor little soul
that is starviug for the pleasures of
childhood, for the joys and toys of
youth—that looks, longs, and hopes,
but Always and ever holds out an
empty hand. [

Mr. Harmon's address was a fine
tribute to the Benevolent aud Protec
tive Order of ililks, and was expressed
most beautifully. He said in part:
"We have nit t upon an occasion and
□ nder circumstances at once boaatifnl
in conception, and rioh in meaning
and Fentiment in the execution. The
honoring of the dead : the marking of
their resting place: the paying of tri
bute to their memory, and the per
petuation thereof, is a custom bound
ed by no territorial limitations, limit
ed to no race or color or creed. It
matters not what form the expression
of this seutiment may take, the sab
htance—the thought,remains the same.
All civilization—all peoples—instinc
tively shriuk from the idea of eternal
oblivion, and in thus keeping green
the memory of those who have gone
before we express the most beautiful
sentiment of the humau heart,and per*
haps unconsciously reveal the hope
within us. that no matter what may
have been our station iu life—wheth
er we may have ri6eu from the ranks
or not—whether we have played s
great part in the drama of life or out
eudeavor limited to an hun.ble envir
onment-that our resting plaoe shall
not go unmarked, aud that our mem
ory shall not, at least by some, bf
forgotten. Bowing then to this senti
ment, aud prompted by motives that
go unquestioned, the members of our
order have come today to give full ex
pression to this thought."
