Our j visit to Smyrna and Ephesua, though, very brief, was nevertheless of the greatest interest to all Our vessel, owiug to its size, could not got into the dock, and was, therefore, compell- I ed to cast anchor far out in the bar- 1 bor, from whence we proceeded to shore in larg* boats. Horsocars were in waiting on shore to take us to the 1 station of the Ottomau Railroad, from whence we proceeded fifty-five miles by railroad, to Ephesus. Ibis road is provided with good cars and solid roadbed. Electricity is used for light- j ing the cars. The country through which we passed ingoing from Srnvr- | ua to Ephesus was of the most pict uresque character. Our load ran through a fertile valley, containing well-kept gardens and farms, where oranges, figs, olives,grapes and garden track were growing in abundance — grapes, olives and figs were not yet in bloom, but everything was green and promising. On both sides of thebeauti lul valley through which we passed were high mountains, forming a charm ing background to the general view. Caravans of camels and donkeys were to be seen on the road, and presented a novel sight as they wended their way from place to place. Oxeu are us ed for plowing, and iu many places ancient plows are used, though here and there we noticed farming imple ments of modern make. Everywhere throughout this country shepherds and their sheep were seen which sight re minded ns of the Bible story of the Great Shepherd. A peculiar outer gar ment is worn by the shepherds, which is made of very thick white felt, and is quite large, somewhat stiffened at the shoulders and serves as a protec tion from wet and cold weather. We did not notice many song birds, but storks of great size abound and live near the people,and in many instances make their uests on high places, right iu the towns. They are particularly numerous about old ruins and disused buildings. For the first time since we left New York we encountered a disagreeable day. The rain aud wind were parti cularly unpleasant features of part of ' * -J*** * I" i n tJ*'i "** the weather was warm and pleasant and gave us opportunity to visit the stores and bazaars in Smyrna. Smyrna has a beautiful street along the water front,where ships make fast directly opposite the largest business houses. Further up the street are the fineet residences of the city. Like oth er Eastern cities there was a mixed crowd on the dock to meet us and there were also the various cab driv ers and sellers of curios and peddlers seeking to sell their wares. The people seemed glad to see us, and as we rude past their houses, men and women leaned out of their wind ows to wave their hands at us. Smyrna is the principal commercial city of the Levant and was founded in 688 B C. It is one of the cities ad dressed by Johu in Kev. 2 :8 :12. Smyr na produces the finest figs, dates aud raisins to be found anywhere. For an English shilling (24 cents) a box con taining about 3 pounds of the best figs can be secured. These and other splen did fruit were offered for sale at every turn at reasonable prices. There are mosqnes and churches and schools here, also an American col lege. The streets are narrow,and with the crowds of people of all Nation alities and the horsos and sheep and poultry it is with difficulty that pedes trians make their way from place to place. The city contains 335,000 peo ple, is 288 miles from Constantinople aud 686 miles from Jaffa. The most interesting monument in Smyrna is the tomb of Polycarp, oue of the most celebrated characters in ancient Christendom, who was Bishop of Smyrna, and had been a disciple of the Apostle John. He suffered martyr dom in 166. At Ephesus,—some on donkeys and horses, others on foot,—accompanied by natives, we went by the road, trod by men of old, to visit the Temple of Diana, the Theatre, into which the people rushed and raved agaiust Paul, shouting "Great is Diana of the Ep hesians. " This theatre seated 25,000 persons We also visited the Foium aud "Church of St John," which still stands in a paitly ruined condition. The " Roman Gate of Persecution," where Christians are supposed to have suffered martvrdom, is also standing, and we passed under its arch. Leaving Smyrna for Boyrout on our way we passed the Island of Patmos, where John wrote the Apocalypso. We also passed the Islands of Rhodes aud Cyprus. These places are of great in terest, and from a distance present a most beautiful appearance. I will write again concerning Bey rout and my trip overland, on horse back. from Caifa to Galilee and Sam aria, which will occupy seven days and a half, and will include the Plain of Esdraelon to Nazareth, Mt. Tabor and through Caua of Galilee, Naz areth, Nain, Samaria. Joseph's Tomb, Jacob's Well, Sliiloh and the Fount of the Kings. Best wishes to all, WM D. LAUMASTER. ODD mm AIIHM The Pennsylvania Odd Follows' An- I niversary, whioh was held at Montours ville Tuesday, was a fine success. The Reading special bearing the Dan- j ville contingent consisting of our four lodges and Muenioloton Encampment No. 140, was the first to arrive at Montoursville. The train also bore a large delegation from Pott«grove, the lodge and Canton Mutual of Milton, with the Sous of Veterans' drum corps; Watson town lodge with a band; Mont gomery with the West End Drum Corps, of Williaiusport, the Muucy Lodge with a band and a large delega tion ; the Sonestowu delegation; the Hughesville lodge with a baud and the donkey which has made the org anization tamous. The regular morning train from the South brought theSunbary delegation couipone:l of two lodges aud the in mates of the Orphans' Home support ed by tlie order of Suubury. With the Montoarsville baud they marched to llie headquarters of the Daughters of Rebekah. There were sixty-two chil dren iu liue including a baby cripple, which was carried in the arms of one of the teachers. The children ranged in size from boys of fifteen aud sixteen to lads barely able to tramp along with the others. On the samo train was the Lewlsburg Lodge with a baud and a delegation from Shamokin. Other towns represented were Re no vo, Bellefonte, Mill Hall, Lock Haven, Williamsport, Jersey Shoie, Oak Mills, Trout Run, Ralston, Roar ing Branch and Oauton. The business meeting was held in ! the lodge rooms at 11 :30a. in. William H. Keiss was re-elected as president aud H. B. Eberly as Secretary. The office of Treasurer was filled by the election of Abe Myers of Williamsport, who succeeds H. T. Kramer. When the next place of meeting was taken up Suubury extended an invita tion. Danville was placed iu nomi nation by Dr. Jno. Sweisfort. Canton was also named. Sunbary, however, was selected by almost a unanimous vote.

An exchange prints the following : Why should a young man and a young woman fear publicity of the fact that they are about to he married? Why are many young couples bo anxious to keep the proouring of a marriage lieeas'i a secret? Some young people, and some not so young,apjiear to labor under the impression that nobody lias any right to know that they are about to enter the matrimonial state. Aud yet for mouths and sometimes years these peo ple have been spooning aud cooing like turtle doves in public until everybody knew that their ultimate fate would be to be yoked together with the mat rimonial noose. This attempt to keep the public in the dark wheii a couple seek a marri age license is false modesty or squeam ishness. There is nothing to be ashamed of In connection with a wedding, where the ceremony is to be perform ed in a legal manner. The bride-to-be who, with hur future lord, sneaks in to the courthouse undercover of dark ness to got a marriage license, will, after the ceremony has been perform ed, be angry because the whole world does not know that she is a wife. Her hashfuluess will be supplanted with chagrin if the newspapers do not de vote half a column of space in describ ing her debut as a married woman. Why, then, should she play the part of a bashful schoolgirl when applying for a marriage license? Out Again, Councilman D. A. Montgomery, who was confined to his home by illnnss all winter is able to he out again. On Sunday he took a ride, which was the first that he was out of doors since taken ill on the J6th of Novembert. BRIDGE PLACED ON ABDTMENTS The now steel plate girder bridga Ijuilt along side the D. L. & W. track at Mahoning creek was lifted from its position by the two larga steam der ricks Sunday morning and without a single hitch or mishap placed open the recently built concrete abutments. The two steam derricks arrived ahont 7 :S0 o'clock, but it was after 8 before they wore ready for work. By that time a crowd of some four hun dred people had assembled anxious to witness the novel sight. Several cam eras wore in evidence, the owners seek | ing vantage points where they would I be able to snap a picture of the bridge as it hung suspended under the large derrick-cranes. It was uearly 8:30 o'clock before the steam derricks got in position one op | posite each end of the bridge. It was truly an interesting sight. With no ap liarent effort the bridge all ready to receive the rails and weighing some forty-five tons was picked up bodily and swung over on the track between the two cranes, each of whioh was at tached to a locomotive. The engines started and with scarce ly a jar the new bridge was carried into position immediately over the creek which left the cranes standing one on each shore. The old bridge was cut loose on Fri day and all "that remained Sunday was to disconnect the rails and pull out a few of the ties. This accom plished at a signal the moil flew to four largn crabs that wore firmly an chored with ropes and pulleys all con nected ; it require 1 only a few revolu tions before the old bridge was seen to move out of its place and slide south ward down over the iron traok pre ; pared for it. The calculations were ' all nicely mado ; the old bridge left the j space clear and the new bridge was dropped upon the abutments,the whole operation from the time the cranes got to work being a trifle over half an j hour. Some twenty men were employed audit was very interesting to watch their movements. Every man knew precisely what to do and when to do it and no matter how many men were swarming around the same spot they had the faculty of working without ! getting iu eacli other's way. There j were no ordots given in a loud voice !if any were givtii at all aud beyond the puffing of the locomotives there j was no uoise of any kind to be heard I while the work was in progress.

Sold by Paules & Co.. and Gosh & Co. The Attorney General's Ruling. Attorney General Carson in an opin ion to Superintendent of Public Build ings anil Grounds Shuiuaker makes an important ruling concerning the re building ot bridges b.y the State,which win irruyc t>i r»i>wi mug intt*ro3t tC) the residents of Montour and Northum berland counties as well as to several other countie« of the Commonwealth. Mr. Oar-on points out that the State is not obliged to rebuild a bridge un less it be destroyed and that means total desttn'-tion. Under this ruling the State will not bo obliged to re build the bridge at Oatawissa, two spans of which were swept away bv the ice this spnng. This is final and Governor Pennypacker on Saturday uotitied the Commissioners of Col umbia county that the State will not rebuild the Catawissa bridge. The Attorney General says that this question was raised once before and it was decided that as the bridge destroy ed WHS the property of the county through the donation of the State all the material resulting from the wreck belonged also to the county. It was also decided that although the State built these bridges they became im mediately the property of the county and must be kept In repair by the county. Mr. Carson concurs in this interpretation of the law. Of still greater interest to the citiz ens of Montour and Northumberland counties is the result of an interview with the Attorney General by Captain J. Boyd Robison, Solicitor for the Commissioners of Columbia county, which took place in Harrisburg on Friday. Captain Robison states that Attorney General Carson informed him that he intended filing exceptions to the report of the viewers favoring new bridges at Danville and Catawissa ou the grounds that it has never yet been de termined bv the courts what con stitutes the destruction of a bridge BO that it will be brought within the pro visions of the Act of the Legislature, which makes the State responsible for its construction. Ho takes the posi tion that with piers yet standing the State is not liable for thoir construc tion. It probably moans that the con struction of these bridges by the State or county will bj determined by the courts where the matter will be fought. A Thoughtful Man. M. M. Austin, of Winchester, Ind., knew wliat to do in the hour of need. His wife had such an unusual case of stomach and livor trouble, physicians could not help her. He '.bought of and tried Dr. King's New Life Pills and she got relief at once and was finally cured. Only 2't<\ at Paules & Co's Druu Store. Former Resident's Advancement. C. S.

A. S. Bowman, the financial agent of Williamsport Dickinson Seji iuary, spent Sunday in town, and preached in the morning for Rev. N. E. Oleaver in Trinity Methodist Epis copal Church. He told of tlio work of the school, dwelling especially upon thejfacilities there afforded for a music al, and art, and elocution training,be sides the usual classical and scientific training of such schools. After rep resenting the Seminary, he preached from Ephesians a-8, 9, ' For ye were sometimes in darkuess.but now are ye light iu the Lord: walk as children of the light, for the fruit of the spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth. Proving what is acceptable un to the Lord.'' Paul's letter to the Ephesians was j intended to incite the christians there ; to steadfastness. The inhabitants of Ephesus were half Greek and half Asiatic, and their religion was a sup- j erstitious compound of the East and j West. Diana was the chief object of worship. The temple of Diana was renowned as one of the seven wonders | of the world. But St. Paul tells the j people that God can make tl.e temple I of their souls far more wonderful and j beautiful. The language of the text j first looks inward upon the human heart, blending the physical and the j spiritual lifo," ¥e wore in darkness." Ephesus was notorious for its luxury aud licentiousness, the outward cor- i ruption was the rosult ot the spiritual darkness. Sin is darkness, the sinner j and darkness are one, as light and the i Christian are one. The transformation j of a sinner iuto a Christian is a change j from darkness to light. Saul of Tarsus in his conversion is a marked illustra tion of this. The light that came into the life of Saul is a symbol of God himself, for God is light aud God is love. The language of the text second ]y looks outward upon the life,"Walk as children of the light." The Christ ian life is all activity pioiucing first the fruit of goodness or beneficent love. A chaplain on a battlefield offer ed to read the Bible to a dying soldier. The soldier said that he would rather have a drink of water. The chaplain got it. Tbeu he wanted a pillow, the j ohaplain got that. Then he wauted a ; cover for he was cold, rhe chaplain took off his coat and covered him. Then said the soldier "If that book | tells how ono man can be good to an j other as you have been to me, read it ito me." When men live lives of prac ! tical goodness, sinners will be willing jto hear the gospel. The second fruit of the Christian life is righteousness; Tightness toward God aud Tightness toward meu. Rightness toward God may mean the payment of outlawed debts thus producing rightness toward men. The third fruit of a Christian life is truth. Again the language of the text looks upward to God, "Ac ceptable to the Lord." It is possible to please the heavenly Father just as it is possible to displease him. There is a famous picture in New York City entitled "A Mother's Rejection." It is the castiug oft from home of a fallen daughter. A picture turned to the wall. A name never mentioned. What must it be for a fallen child of God tn he r«ii>efed an<l tr> tin in to outer darkness. Live Christlike lives and you will not be rejected. Walk as children of the light. Jesus said "I am the light of the world." Let that light shine in all your life. George Lansing Taylor heard the cry, when lie was out on tho ocean, "A man overboard," his first impulse was to ran to the deck and try to help, but he knt*w that he would be in tlie road there, his next impulse was to pray, but just then he thought of his ligbt, aud holding it to a window was just in time to threw a beam of light where the drowning man could see the rope thrown out to save him. The i light saved him. You may think that you are doing very little to save a ruined world, but light always dispels darknes", aud brings hope, anil points to that path which grows brighter and brighter unto tiie perfect day. Robbed the Grave. A startling incident, is narrated by John Oliver of Philadelphia, as fol lows: "I was in an awful condition. My skin was almost yellow,eyes sunk en, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, 110 appetite, growing weaker day by day. Throe physicians had given me up. Then I was advised to use Electric Bitters: to my great joy, the first bottle made a decided improvement. 1 continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man.

The novel feature of the en campment is to be an automobile ride to Concord, Lexington and other his torical places, with au array of 700 aotomobile< in lioe. The governor of all the New EngUud States are to join iii the demonstration by inviting the old soldier visitors to make an ex cursion to their respective States. Twenty-Three Inch Trout. From up at Almedia comes a fish stoty that will make even the old fish ermen in Danville take a seat, away back in the shade. No doubt they will say it isn't straight, or it was au ac cident.especially as a young lady hap pened to be the lucky fisherman. Miss Flossie Trembley, of Almedia, Satur day succeeded in capturing the largest trout of the season. The flue speckled beauty measured just twenty-three and three-quarter inches in length and weighed three and one-half pounds. The fine fellow was caught in one of the pools of water that tills the slopes of the Silver Spring Quarry Company near the former plaut of the Almedia Mining Company. Miss Trembly about this time iast yeav succeeded in land ing one thirteen inch and one seven teen inch trout from the same body of water.

SOLDIERS' HOHU IENT COMMITTEE The Soldiers' Monument Committee concerning which little has been heard since last summer, has again buckled itself down to work and we are prom ised results commensurate with the importance of the undertaking in a very short time. In the project to eiect a soldiers' monument in Montour county very little progress has been made during several years past. Conditions are con sidered much more favorable now and the committee believes that if given a little more time it will be able to re deem itself. A considerable sum of money—several thousand dollars—has from time to time been subscribed for the monument. Montour county is one of the few counties of the State which lias no soldiers' monument. In many of the counties the work of erecting a suit able memorial was undertaken at an earlier day following the war when the deeds and heroism of the fallen heroes were still fresh upou the mind of the living, and the patriotism and the gratitude of the masses were more effectively appealed to. Another dis advantage in the present case ließ in the fact that Montour County is small and that of the money subscribed near ly the entire amount will have to come from Danville. Hon. James Foster, Chairman of the Committee, is conlident, however, that the monoy needed can be raised and he stated yesterday that a very short time will be required, if the present plans are oarried out,to reveal material results. Worry, Oare, Grief, overwork of mind or body, exposure, loss of sleep, too much food, too lit tle food, the wrong Jfood, or any of fifty causes may provoke an attack of rheumatism, kidney trouble or gout.

HECTOR ON LIQUOR QUESTIONS An audience of several hundred pot- 1 pie assembled in the Court House on ; Saturday evening to hear Rev. J. H. I Hector, "The Black Knight," in his ! attack 011 the License Law. Rev. Hector is a witty and original j speaker and it is a question whether there was ever a prohibition address ! delivered in this city that commanded j closer interest or was in a general way more effective. The speaker had a this j command all the old arguments against | the License Law as well as a few j new ones. He is a complete master ot i ridicule and in pointing out the alleg ed inconsistences relating to the law j and the customs of society he handled i a oertain class of church numbers and even the clergy without gloves. Of the various temperance crusades started on foot by the churches, he said, there was only one which gave the devil much concern and that was the W. 0. T. U., which he said, means to the liquor dealer: "Women Con tinually Tormenting Us." He later qualified his opinion somewhat, stat ing that Satan by working upon politic preachers and weak-kneed and selfish church members has learned how to defeat or neutralize the best etforts of the W. C. T. U., as well as any other temperanoe organization. Mr. Hector is a full blooded negro and wholly self-educated. Speaking of the race problem, lie said,the negro in the South is not askiug for social eqaality. Sooiil equality exists there, however,contrary to what is supposed and it is worthy of note that it is a condition that was inaugurated by the white man and not by the black man. Such social equality exists in the t drinking places where the negro is I taught that he is just as good and just ! as welcome as the white man. Touching upon the numerous tace wars whi.h have occurred between the whites srnl blacks,he said it could be shown that racial antipathies had lei-.s to with them thau the influ ence of the li((uor evil. He ran over ! the li->t of disturbances which have agitatod our country of late years and iu every instance traced the outbreak ' to a drunken white man and a drunk 1| en negro. He cited facts connected : with the Civil war which stand as a . | tribute to the negro race for its devo . I tion to the white race,its self-sacrifice and its law abidiDg qualities, i The singing was a very pleasing ' feature of the evening not only by Madame Lyons, but also by the two ladies who accompanied her. It is said of Madame Lyons that her voice has i been heard well nigh round the woild. Her singiug Saturday night elicited great applau-e. The Best Family Salve.
