BERWICK MAY
GET THE COLLEGE
The final disposition of the question
of the removal of Albright College
which was expected to he made on
Tuesday by the Board of Trustees at
Meyerstown in a sessiou there, will in
all probability be delayed for several
months iu order to give the people of
Berwick a chance to secure more fuuds
to insure the final location of the col
lege in their town.
At Tuesday's meeting a committee
of four of the most prominent citizens
of Berwick were present aud asked the
trnstets to allow them sixty more days
in which to carry ou their subscription
fuud required for the removal of the
college fiom that place. The commit
tee reported the most favorable pro
gress was being made and that busi
ness men and citizeus were working
with their best efforts to eventually
secure the college The railroad aud
street railway companies are strong
factors in the work of raising the sub
scription and the committee claim that
there is no doubt of the town raising
even more thau the amount required
by the Board of Trustees.
TO HAKE A CHANGE
IN GOOD ROADS LAW
State Highway Commissioner Hunt
er will make au effort at the coming
session of the legislature to secure the
pasi-age of a bill amending the road
law of liK)3 so as to make It obligatory
on the part of supervisors to give their
approval when a majority of the prop
erty owners along a proposed road have
petitioned for ttie improvements.
Under the present law the supervis
ors of a township can use their own
Judgment iu approving an application
for a stretch of good road, and unless
they do so the road canuot be con
structed.
Governor Pennypaoker is said to fav
or the change audit is expected the
bill will be among the first to be pass
ed aud signed by the governor.
Christmas Home-Coming.
As Christams approaches what heart
that is not calloused with greed aud
Belfia in *ss does not ache with sweet
lougiug for the old home?
At this mystic seasou.if at no other,
memories of childhood become smil
ing angels that beckon us back through
the years.
Idle sentiment? Not at all.
All over our own laud Christmas
brings back to the old home the chil
dren and the children's children, ouce
more to s?t our iips to the spring of
love that is pure and undefiled.
Whether we turn back to it from
success aud joys or from failures and
sorrows, the old homo is ever a sanc
tuary of virtues and the sweetest earth
ly interpretation of heaven.
. The king of finance and the prodigal
once more become brothers at the old
home aud learu that the thiugs which
Bceui so important to us in thin world
are, aftar all, but a thin covering.
Whether we be wise or ignorant,
rich or poor, great or little, the old
hoine offers us satisfaction and inspira
tions to be found nowhere else in the
world.
£ For many of us the old home may no
longer exist except iu memory. But if
in memory it is enshriued, then what
ever the disappointments, the decep
tions.the despairs of life,we may turn
for new hope,new courage aud reuew
ed ideals back to the old home, where
love glows steadily against the world's
coldness.
If Christmas had no other meaning
than just this —that it turned us back
to the old home, that nursery of the
infinite, and to the loves and dreams
aud longings aud resolves of youth,
the day would still be the happiest
and most helpful oue in all the year.
Another Victim.
'Squire Daltou was another victim
of icy sidewalks, Weduesday night.
After stepping out ot his office to come
up street, he discovered that lie had
left some papers on his desk that he
needed. He turned quickly to retrace
his steps, aud his feet just as quickly
slipped from under him. His back
strack the sidewalk in no gentle man
ner, aDd iiis hat landed half way across
the street. He escaped serious injury,
but was considerably jarred by the
sudden impact with the sidewalk.

MISSING MAN
FOUND AT MUNCY
Charles John3on,of Catawissa,whose
strange disappearance from home on
Friday last has caused his family and
friends much anxiety, was heard of
yesterday in this city. He was also iu
Mausdale and Washingtonville. From
Washiugtonville he was traced to
Money, where he spent last night.
Two of hi* relatives passed through
this city last tvjninx enrooto for
Muncy to take charge of the man.
Tuesday moruiug he passed unnotic
ed through Danville and took the road
to Mauadale. Mrs. J. H. Shuitz of
that place had driven to this city, and
on her way home passed him. Some
time after her arrival he presented
himself at her door and asked for some
thing to eat. As it was about dinner
time and he was invited to remain for
the meal. The family noticed his ptcu
har actions aud appearance. He gave
no name,and entered into no conversa
tion. From some blood spots ou his
clothes, he appeared to have had a
fall. After diuner lie thanked Mrs.
Shuitz and started toward Washing
tonvilie, and it was not until later In
the day when the Morning NCWB con
taining au account of the disappear
ance and a description of the man
reached Mausdale that the Shuitz fam
ily discovered who the man was. He
tallied with the description in every
respect, the most prominent features
being the missing tooth, the rod hair
aud the suit ca«.e.
Toward evening he arrived in Wasli
lngtnville. He inquired his way to the
Burgess, aud upon fludlug Dr. R. S.
Patten, told him that he was without
money and looking for work ; so he re
quested that the town furnish him
with lodging and breakfast. Dr. Pat
ten gave him an order as desired ou
Laudlord Amaudus Heddens, at whose
hotel he spent the nuht. Here, as at
Mausdale, his actions were most ec
oentrio. He gave a fictitious name,
but told the truth about his home be
ing at Oatawissa. He was very quiet,
only speaking when he wa9 addressed,
and then but shortly. After breakfast
yesterday he left Washiugtonville,tak
lug the road to Turbotville and Muncy.
Wlieu the authorities learutd yester
day of his presence iu this vicinity,
word was sent to the towns between
Washington ville and Muncy. Last
night he was located in a hotel at Mun
cy and two of his brothers-in-law
started at once to that tow n.
COLD STORAGE
BIRDS IN REGION
Farmers in the vicinity of Herndon
have made a big deal in cold storage
turkeys aud the markets iu Shamokiu
promise to be flooded with ancient but
well preserved birds on Thursday aud
Sturday.
A few of these progressive husband
men, believing turkeys would be as
high if not higher in Yuletide than
they were at Thanksgiving time, re
cently bought a car-load of cold stor
age birds from Wisconsin.
These were quickly disposed of to
neighboring faruirra aud lour mine
oar loads were ordered. These arrived
a few days ago and were sold to farm
ers in the Ma'ianoy, Mahantongo and
neighbor ux valleys, some reaching
Irish Valley. The whole south-west
ern part of Northumberland county is
flooded with the birds.
Many of these delectable birds,most
of them trim four to eigtit years old,
will find their way into the Shamokiu
market ou Thursday and Saturday.
Farmers will tell the housewife that
they thought they would dress their
turkeys this year instead of bringing
them in alive, aud in that way may
dispose of many.

Christmas Spirits in Stores.
The time for purchasing Christmas
presents is rapidly passing; and the
shopper who delays is not only run
ning the risk of not getting what lie
or she wants, but is runuing the risk
of violating the Christmas spirit iu
various ways. The stores are crowd
ed now and by the latter part of the
week the crowds will create a perfect
crush. This Is the season when good
cheer is au inspiration to all aud per
sons are supposed to act charitably to
ward their fellows. Iu no wise cau
this spirit be more effectively and
worthily displayed than toward the
saleswomen aud salesmen iu the stores,
fhey are harried from early until late
by persistent inquiries of vague shop
pers, who do not know their own mind
and often seek expert advice as well
as goods. They are blamed for errors
for which t'tey are not responsible.
They are hell accountable for defec
tive articles or materials. They are
scolded if they yield to weariness and
answer tartly to impertinent remarks.
They must be monuments of patience,
and iuformation. They are as a
rale keenly grateful for a kiudly
word,for a bit of helpful consideration
and a little patience on the part of
customers. They cannot wait on ev
erybody at once.

THE GUARD INVITED
TO INAUGURATION
The Natioual Guard of Pennsylvania,
through Governor Pennypacker, its
commander-in-chief, has been invited
as a body to participate iu the cere
monies attendant on ttie inauguration
of President Roosevelt as President,in
Washington, on the 4th of March. The
matter of accepting the invitation was
takeu up by Governor Pennypacker
and Adjutant General Stewart, Tues
day, but no definite action was taken,
and a conclusion will not be reached
until next week.
Whether the Guard will go as a
whole, or whether a provisional bri
gade will be formed, are matters to be
seitled at a future meeting,if it is de
termined that Pennsyvlauia shall be
representd by her military. For many
years Pennsylvania has sent her
Guardsmen to honor the inaugural oc
casion, and always with pride, but at
the last inauguration some of the
Guardsmen considered that a slight
was put upon Pennsylvania by the
people of Washington iu blaming them
for the misconduct of troops from oth
er States, and Pennsylvania was made
to pay for damage that was not done
by her troops.
Then, too, the Pennsylvania troops
have beeu sneered at by residents of
Washington aui they are not iu mood
to invito that sort of treatment again.
As a matter of fact the sentiment
against going to Washington to march
in the inaugural parade prevails gen
erally in the Guard, and it is possible
t>iat this is being cousiderd by the
Governor aud his military advisors.
Boiler Explosion Killed Four.
Four men lost their lives in a terri
ble boiler explosion which occurred at
Redliue's saw mill, near Rohrsburg,
Columbia county, about two o'clook
yesterday afternoon. The dead are:
William Redline, who leaves a wife

years. . Survived by a wife and two
children.
The boiler which exploded was one
of thirty-five horse power aud was
considered in good conditiou. The
cause of the explosion i« not known.
The suddenness and horror of the
event was appalling. The foar men
killed were terribly mangled in the ex
plosion. They were the only ones
about the mill iu such a position as to
be caught, all others that might have
been abont the mill escaping injury.
The explosion was heard for many
miles aronud. Bartley Albertson was
working in the woods nearby. When
the explosion occurred he ran to the
mill. A terrible scene presented it
self. The boiler, which was of the
portable type, was nearly blown to
atoms, while the mill was little better
than a pile of ruius.
The mill was owned by Benjamin
Rodliue, father of William Redline.
who was oue of the victims. The mill
is located on the timber tract of I. P.

RIVER AT BERWICK
NEARLY IMPASSABLE
While the people of Danville aud
Catawissa are being favored with a
| substantial and free passageway across
the river, those of Berwick are having
trouble galore 011 their hands They
are paying dearly for some of it, too.
The river between Necsopeck and Ber
wick is practically impassable. The
strong efforts made at those places to
keep the ferries ruuuing has had the
effect of keeping the river at Berwick
practically open,although full of drift
ing ice in huge masses, which make it
very dangerous for boats.
Boats,however,crossed yesterday. Af
ter that few had the hardihood to ven
ture out The passenger who gets across
the river now at Berwick pays for it.
Fifty cents is the price charged by the
boatmen audit is generally conceded
that they earn the money, as it takes
from an hour to an hour aud a halt to
battle with the ice and to thread their
way across.
A man must have urgent business
and be of strong nerve to submit to
the experience of crossing the river at
present. Not only is the long ride in
the cold a great trial in itself, but at
every tarn the passenger is menaced
with dauger from the ice cakes which
threateu to crush the boat, and from
the falls below that are waiting to
swallow him up.
Save Santa.
There be persons who insist that all
of life shall be lud out with rule and
square aud spirit level, ana nothing
outside their measurements shall be
permitted. These people, whose con
tinuous demand is for facts and noth
ing but facts, demand that no re
cognition be given to Santa Claus.
They insist that Sant% is a myth and
that to give him any recognition is
bound to weaken little children's love
of truth.
Auy child whose tendency trutliward
is obstructed only by belief in Santa
has a better cliauce of immortality
than many another who has not been
friendly with His Grace, Veracity.
Coming to a showdown, as the old
cattleman would say, do we, all of us,
all the time, set the little ones an ad
mirable example in the telling o*
truth? Do our "not at home" fibs not
influence them? Do our preteusions
of regard, publicly delivered to the
recipieut and privately withdrawn
with accompanying disparagement aud
back-biting, leave the little hearers
unmoved? Is the—but why continue?
The man or woman whose veins are
filled with red blood and who is not
without the love of children, which is
the one mnudane evidence of the high
er feeling—a boon if you would but
know it—such a man or woman must
know that Santa Claus is the personi
fication of the Christmas Spirit—and
he who should deny the Christmas
Spirit would deny much more. But.
say some of the gentlemen of rule and
j compass, Santa Claus is a relic of pag
anism and therefore pernicious. Go
to! Or, rather, goto your books and
learn how many of your cherished
festivals are of hoary age, but none
the less respectable therefor.

fleets With an Accident-
A lot of worthless dogs running at
large through the street, bumping
against aud annoying people is a suffi
cient nuisance without the canines
forming a combination with icy side
walks to trip people up. Through such
an association of forces Miss Alice Fry,
daughter of Alfred Fry, North Mill
street, sustained a bad fall, on Mill
street, at about 4:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
The young lady was about to cross
the D. L. & W. railroad track, when
two dogs, one chasing the other, dash
ed up behind her and before she could
get out of their way, ran against her.
The force of the collision, assisted by
the icy sidewalks upon which she was
walking,caused her to fall heavily.the
back of her head striking the ice. She
was assisted to iter feet aud into a
store where attention was given her.
Miss Fry wai considerably dazed for
awhile, but in a short time had recov
ered sufficiently from the severe shock
she had sustained to return home un
attended.

What might have resulted in a very
serious accident, took place at Wap

on the ice. The party thought it would
be safe to cross and as none of the
party seemed to have any fear as to
the result the driver decided to drive
across the stream.
Suddenly the ice broke and the horses
aud sleigh sunk into the river. After
a struggle they succeeded in getting
out. The horses were finally gotten to

The convention of the delegates to
the diocesan convention of the Epis
copal diocese of Harrisburg will no
doubt be held in Harrisburg early in
February for the election of a bishop
to take the place which was so reluct
antly declined by Rev. Dr. William
T. Manning, of New York city. The
arrangements for this gathering will
be made by the standing committee of
the diocese of which He v. Or. Charles
Morrison.of Sunbury.is the chairman.
This standing committee will prob
ably be called together within a few
days by the chairman, and if present
hopes are realized this con vention will
be hell in Harrisburg. The invitation
from that city for the next annual
convention to be held there was ac
cepted at Lancaster, aud Hariisburg
is favored for such meetings, because
of its central location aud railroad
facilities.
The declination of Or. Manning fol
lowing upon his election to the assist
ant rectorship of Trinity Church, has
again opened the discussion of candid
ates for the bishopric aud there are
many men mentioned. Almost all of
the large cities of tho diocese have
men who ate spoken of as candidates,
and in seme places there is a disposi
tion to unite upon men inside of the
diocese.
The convention will be a special
meeting, at which the only business
will be the election of a bishop, all
other matters having been attended to
at the Lancaster meeting.
Hotel Crushed by Falling Wall.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec., 20.
The east wall of the Peck building.
Fifth street, Minneapolis, which was
destroyed by fire last week, collapsed
at 12 :">0 o'clock this morning aud
smashed Crocker's Ho'el, a two-story
lodging boost' that stood directly east
of the ruins of the Peck building.
The place was full of lodgers and the
police of the locality f-ay that many
p rsons were asleep in tho hotel when
the tons of brick thundered down up
on the structure, tearing it like an egg
shell.
The building was reduced to a heap
of ruins in the twinkling of an eye.
A high wind that arose about mid
night out of the southwest caught the
tottering remnants of the Peck build
ing and before warning could be con
veyed to the patrons of the places in
the vicinity the five story pile of brick
swayed and fell. The lodgers were
generally of the poorer class.
Fiftv persons are known to have
bean in the hotel at the time of the
accident. The ruined hotel building
'caught fire and the entire fire depart
ment started to rescuo the people.
The civil court of appeals of SatJ
Antonio, Tex..has decided that a rail
road ticket not used within a reason
able time is barred by the statute of
limitations; that it was never con
templated that it should be held for
half an average lifetime before being
1 presented for transportation and can
not occupy better position under tho
statute of limitations than a promisory

Friends of the Rev. Dr. Eckel, of
Williamsport, rector of Christ Epis

tion to tho bishopric. He is eminently

A New Swindle.
Don't be victimized by this new
swindle. It is a clever one and unless
you are posted you might easily be
taken in hy it. A stranger recently
appeared at the hotel of John West
over, at Carmen's Mills, Cambria
county, and stated that he had been
without food and money for two days.
He was takeo'to the dining room and
told to oat all he wanted. When he
finished the meal he drew his hand
kerchief from his pocket and a f2O
note foil on the floor. The waitress
