SENATORIAL APPORTIONMENT Apropos of the tank that shall come op at the ooming special session of the State Legislature a writer in the "Philadelphia Ledger'* discourses on the probability of the work being ao oomplisbed. In the speculative soheme among the new districts mapped ont are the following, whioh will prove of espeoial interest to people of this section: Northumberland and Montour have a population of 106,437. They oan be made into one district withoot vio lence to the constitution. Lyooming, Sullivan, Columbia and Montour at present oomprise a senat orial district. With Montour dropped, tbe other three oounties would have a population of 197,603, a little more than 1,000 in exoess of a ratio. Centre, Union, Snyder and Mifllin are adjoining counties, with .a total popalatioD of 100,950,and would make a fairly oompact district. Juniata. Perry and Cumberland would form as oompaot and as oou tiguons a distriot as conld be found in tbe state, outside of a single county. They have a population of 93,661. This is less than four-fifths of a ratio, bat it is difficult to aarve out a more pop ulous distriot in this section of the state. Lebanon is not entitled to be oou stituted a separate distriot. Although tbe four adjoining counties are eaoli entitled to "one or more senators," Lebanou has not "ono-half a ratio," and therefore must be attached to one of the adjoining counties. As Dauphin has the laast population by 35,000, it follows that Dauphin and Lebanon shall constitute a senatorial distriot. Adams, Franklin and Fulton are now part of three district?. By oombining them a distriot is formed with a pop ulation of 99,833. Although Bedford and Somerset have a population of only 88,939, their formation into a separate distriot is held to be unavoidable because of the populous surrounding counties, except Foltoo, whioh is attaohed to an ad joining distriot. Carbon, Uonioe, Pike and Wayne form a natural district. Combined they liave a population of 104,618. Sasqaehanua, Wyoming aud Brad ford can hardly esoape being joined together to form a senatorial district. Their population is 116,598 Blair and Huntingdon forma natur al senatorial distriot. They rnn par allel,and have a population of 119,749. Clearfield with Oamerou aud Elk on the north, come within the constitu tional provisions as a senatorial dis trict. These three couutirs have a population of 130,565. Tioga, Potter and Clinton are not oompaot, uor, strictly speaking, con tiguous. Tioga is east of Potter and Clinton is ou the south of Potter; Clin ton and Tioga do not touch. Still it would be difficult to improve on these as one distriot. The writer continues: The senators from the JjfTerson-ludiaua aud the Mercer-Lawrence districts will prob ably support the bill,as their district* are oontinued intact, and the senator from the uew Somerset-Bedford dis triot may he disposed to vote in the affirmative, as the only alternative to his district is to mike it smaller by relieving it of Faltou county. The same reason for voting for the bill ap plies to the senator from tl.e Lycom ing-Sulli van-Columbia-Montour dis triot, whioh has Montour eliminated in the proposed apportionment. The senator from the Northumber lanil-Union-Sndyer district is likely to be for the bill, as it cats oft Union aud Snyder, which has been a politic al disadvantage and attaoiies Montour to Northumberland. The number of possible supporters of senatorial reap portionment is brought up to thirty four more than is necessary. There may be several senators to whom the reapportionment will be a disadvantage, who will feel oonxcieu tiously obliged to vote for it in compli ance with their oath to support the oonstitotion.

TROLLEY CREWS JEff OUTFIT The trolley crews of the Danville and Bloomsborg line are rigged out in new outfits for winter, consistiL-g of long bine overooats and caps of the same color. The motormen's ooats are marked with silver colored buttons, while tbOße of the oondnotors have brass buttons. The finest ot material is employed and when dressed in the uew uniforms the three crewß nlong with the oozy cars present a spick and span appearance. The crews are quite prond of their outfit. The entire gronp in uniform along with two of the oars.whioh inet at Qrovania, were photographed the other day. The picture—some eight by ten inohes— lß a very good one. Superintendent W. R. Miller stands at the head ot the group. Below him stand in a line ; J. 8. Raver, Ray mond Barrett, W. R. Eisner and Frank Uensoh, conductors, and William C.

The Buzzards Let Loose. About 8 o'olook Saturday night ped estrians on Mill street were mystified and not a little alarmed by a series of unseemly sounds prooeediug from K. Q. E. Hall, made up of discordant yells, which might have suggested the frenzy of wild men. It was all explained a little later when fifty-six members of the order were Been to file down the narrow Btairwav and proceed to the City Ho tel, where a banquet was the next thing in order. , On this occasion, however, it WDB not distinctively the Goldeu Eagles that was creating all the furore, but the less dignified birds kuowu as the "Buzzards," who form a side degree of the Golden Eagles. Saturday night was the date select ed for a gala oorasion, when all the Bnzzards were let loose. The first thing in order was the initiation of four candidates,which means substan tially that four members of the Golden Eagles were brought over to roost with the Bozzards. It was daring this un ique prooess that the unseemly noises were heard from the street Down at the City Hotel the Buz zards oomported themselves very de corously, attaoking the fine bill of fare that Landlord Johnny Moyer had pro vided in the most approved and digni fied manner. The banquet was uiuoh enjoyed and pronounoed by the Buz zards as flue a feast as they ever par took of. Speer's Port drapti Wine in Europe.

The structure would be used for a postoflloe and per haps for Federal purposes—holding of United States Court, etc. When oalled up aud asked about it Hon. E. W. Samuel stated that he had been requested by leading oltizeus ol Bloomsbnrg to Introduoe a bill asking for a publio building for our town and wonld do all he poßsibly could to have the bill pass. He further stated that he had been requested to ask for a similar building for Shamokin and that he does not want to show any discrimination between the towns of his distriot, and will cheerfully in troduce bills for publio improvements where aud when needed. Bloouisburg Daily. Policemen in New Overcoats. Our two poiloemen, J. O. Minot moyer, Chief, and John Grler Voris assistant,on Saturday morning reciev ed their new overooats.

A FINE EVENING'S ENTERTAINMENT fContinued from First Page. | L. McClure, W. R. Clark and Prof. J W. Tylor. The testimony was a feature in itself and made up a whole comedy. The witnesses were sworn as fol lows: "Hold op both hauds. Yuo promise the evidence you shall give iu the case uow iu hearing shall be the truth, the whole trnth, part of the troth, not any of the truth or so lit tle of the truth as you please. So help you George Washington." The defense pot op was that the complainant, Professor U. L. Gordy, never owned a rooster, but that it was only a delusion vi ith him and that the whole case was a conspiracy laid by two of the witnesses, who wished to g«t even with the defeudanr. * Tlie complainant and the defendant each told his story on the witness staud. Dr. Patten offered expert testi mony for the defense to show that Professor Qordy had rooster on the brain. 001. Newton's address to the Jury was a masterpiece of hnmor.

ACCEPTED INTD JEWISH FAITD B'nal Zion synagogue Friday was the scene of a auiqne and impressive oeremony, in whioli a young woman born outside the Jewish choroh was acoepted into that faith. Tiie young oouvert was Minnie O. Williams of Dußois. daughter of Dr. A. M. Wil liams, deceased. The oeremony took plane after the close of the regolar Sabbath eveuing service?. Rabbi Zeisler annoonced to the congregation that the yonng wo mau had appeared before him with the request that she be accepted into the Jewish faith. As is well known, he said,the Jews never *olicit nor encou rage members of other religious beliefs to join them in the Faith of Israel. Ib this instance following custom the minister had advised the petitioner to remaiu in her own faith.with her own people, reminding her that Qod as a most merciful Father of all mankind would surely not deny salvation aud bliss of eternal life to auy one of his children who live upright aud virtu ous lives. The request was nevertheless repeat ed on another occasion and again the minister felt bouud according to Jew ish traditions to deny the requect as done in the first instance witli the same advice. For the third time the petitioner called on the minister with the same request. After a careful inquiry iuto the case the Rabbi felt satisfied that nothing but lofty reasous stimulated the petitioner to seek shelter in the Jewish church. Accordingly, Rabbi Zeisler explained, there was nothing left for the congregation but to accept the faithful into its fold. At this point the petitioner was call ed before the altar an 1 asked : Have you received instruction our faith, are you acquainted with the characteristic teuets of Israel? The answer was, "yes." fl Which, then, is the doctrine upon which the faith of Israel is based? The answer was: "The One Sole God, who is the Fa ther of all mankind." Then,before the altar with her right hand upon the Scroll of the Five Books of Moses she assumed the obligation: "I vow here in this Temple of Israel before the Eiders of this congregation aud its members, that so help me God I will live and I am ready to die in the Faith of Israel! I will serve the Oue Sole God.the Hope, Rock and Re deemer of Israel, with all my heart aud with all my soul. May the God of Israel whom I beseech with a ferv ent heart accept my prayer, may I be permitted to lead a life to the honor of Israel aud mankind." Haviug taken upon herself the ob ligation of the Holy Law the young woman was informed that she must forever stand in the community as a responsible Jewess. The Rabbi then delivered the charge, whioli iudeed was most beautiful,after which he ex tended to her his right hand and iorm ally welcomed her into the Jewish fold. Then with his hands raised above her head he invoked the divine bless ing: "Almighty Father of mankind, Thou Great God of our forefathers, bless our sister, enroll her as we name her today under the name of the Sister of the Great Law Giver, Moses, "Mi riam". Then raising his voice the Rabbi proclaimed impressively: "Mi riam, my sister, may*the Almighty bless thee !" As soon as the services weie con cluded the newly accepted convert was welcomed by the entire congregation, some time beiug oousumed in hand shaking. She is a handsome and a very intelligent lady and seemed to adapt herself to her new situation very gracefully. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
