A . has been granted a leave of absence by the Board of Di rectors covering a period of seventy one days in order to enable him to take a trip to the Holy Land in con nection with the World's Sunday School Convention.which is to be held in the City of Jerusalem, April 18 -20, 1904. Mr. Laumaster. it will be recalled, was selected as one of the delegates to represent Pennsylvania at the World's Sunday School Convention. Each State and territory in the Union has a quota of delegates, the proportion as signed to Pennsylvania being forty three. Mr. Laumaster feels that it is an honor and a mark of respect to be chosen as one of the delegates from our State, although no provisions are made for the expenses of the trip and the money will have to come oat ot his own pooket. The cruise will take in the Medit erranean and the Orient and will oc cupy seventy-ODe days,from March Bth to Mav 18th. The party will consist of eight hundred persons, made up of men and women interested in Christian work. Mr Laumtster is certainly to be congratulated on being enabled to make the journey to the Holy Land at the present time not only on account of the diminished cost of the trip--prob ably not more than £B7s—but also for the «plendid opportunity for rest,study and spiritual invigoration. Returning he will no doubt be better qualified in every way for the work in which he is engaged. Surprise Party.

As explained in these columns some time since uuder the precaution taken by the Water Superintendent to keep the surface water pumped out of the plugs there is not the remotest danger ot the latter freezing no matter how cold the weather. During the recent flood, however, the water rose high enough to drain into the fire pings from the top, while the cold w oat tier iustantlv following froze them solid. Two of the plugs affected weie thaw ed out by building a fire over them, after which they weie flushed and found to be none the worse for their freezing. The plug at the corner of East Market and Mowrey streets was wrenched and lifted by the action of the ice in such a way as to cause it to I leak atul it was necessary to replace it with a new one. Sunday afternoon was.the time selected lor the work. The excavation was completed and everything got in readiness so that nothing remained to ha done while the water was turntd oft but to disconnect the broken tire plug and insert the new one. At 1:15 o'clock the Water Works whistle was sounded. People were mis led. however, by the announcement made a week ago that the same whistle would be sounded 10 the event of the ice moving and Sunday instead of construiDg the signal as intended and laying in a supply of water nearly everyone forgetting household affairs ran to the river expecting to see the ice gorge Owing to this many persons were without water during the afternoon and suffered considerable j inconvenience. The'work on the new plug was pushed along a* expeditious ly as possible, but it was well nigh 5 o'clock before the water could be turn ! Ed on. ABK YOUR NEIGHBOR.

They teturued with out having seen the Governor who had left only a few minutes before their arrival for Philadelphia to attend the testimonial banquet tendered Senator j Penrose. They saw the Governor's private sec- j retary, however, who was fully in touch with the situation and who in formed them that the Governor was disposed to do all in his power but j was at a los-i to know what to do, for the expert whom the Governor had , sent over the ground had reported that the ice was impenetrable. While there was no appropriation out of which the state could draw the necessary funds yet this because of the fact that an unprecedented state of affairs exists; even this would not im pede the action of the State, should any action be found practicable. Secretary Lynch in the behalf of the Governor suggested that the Com missioners appoint some qualified per son to K'> over the ground and make a written report to the Governor of the exact situation. Mr. Duy and Mr. Bogert found that the Governor and his Cabinet were keenly alive to the situation; in fact it was a subject being discussed very much in the various departments. H. V. White, who represented the Columbia County Agricultural Society at the State meeting at Harrisburg last week was called in by the Governor who asked him as to the exact situa tion. Mr. White gave him the benefit of such information as he had and immediately after the Governor sent an expert over the round. The exj»ert sent togo over the situa tion was Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds Shumaker who was instructed by the Governor togo into the matter thoroughly and to con sult with the experts of the Pennsyl vania, Philadelphia & Heading and D. L. & W. railway oompanies He went to Wilkesbarre, where he met General Superintendent Clark, of the D. L». & W. and Superintendent Allibone, of the Pennsylvania road and in a spec ial train they traverstd the entire route of the gorge. The opinion of the three is experessed in therfollowing words of Mr. Shaiuaker: "It is practically a physical impos sibility," he said, "to remove the ic ■ as it would take a thousand m V ,\% lis* *. >l% »w • v nwi * s> s»ti % | | v k* % >*V \ t \ %. 4 I) A ♦ % % v- \ m v V * > % > t 1(1 • * V V " \ % . >•« V If* V V" 4|t» % ' < |\%%% V* X %•<.«, O •» *. * \ »..> I.V 1 \ *s, v via i<| vi *WM a VMI 'i mm it»m tPN»i 4 «>». \ V »%«><* Ka- ***» »*» ."*• > i% ■■ ;* I* twa. s MHk «M * av «A IX»- * A HWMI aManKt imti Ayers Dtcwirs trti % 1 kt-r* *»\t» # uii Tk* m Nv.*a\ «»*t rtt*a trn Tkcv Cherry Pectoral IT. v *ro ■ « Par evuehv, krtidttn. coi»uairti«i.
