I* China Awnk-iniiia?
China is the land of the largest pos
sibilities before any country of Asia,
and Chin i is moving with n tremend
ous weight and at a quickening pace?
While Japau has jumped into the ad
vance with occidental civilization in
many vital things, in the far view of
national and inferuationl problems
and conditions China is the country
to watch. The of the Chinese
postal service have doubled in a year.
The number of articles handled was
nearly twice as great in l'JOfi as in
1904 The number of offices has been
multiplied by two and one-half in the
last three years. Think of the sig
nificance of Chinese railroad progress.
The lines multiply and their business
increases still more rapidly than their
mileage. Chinese capital is building
a fair share of the roads, Chinese
engineers are proving themselves able
to do excellent construction work. On
the military side it is argeed that the
Chinese arm is far more efficient than
ever before. It is being strengthened
steadily. Arms of the latest pattern
are being accumulated for future
needs. All parties and all classes seem
to agree that the national defense must
be provided for as it never was in
times past.
Most important of all changes,there
is a new national spirit, a new desire
to meet and equal the western powers
ou much of their own ground. Stud
ents anil observers of Chinese affairs
say that it is no uncommon thing to
see idols stowed away in the cellars of
temples that room may he made for
schools, ou modern lines, where the
altars stood. China is surely awaken
ing. When that happens to so huge a
sleepiug giant the world may well
take notice.
Black Hand Secrets Revealed.
The most sensational exposure of
orime in the blood stained history of
Northumberland county's lawlessness
oocurred Monday night, when Joseph
Ravita, an Italian,and a former mem
ber of the Black Hand society, reveal
ed the inmost secrets of the dreaded
organization at a hearing held at the
office of 'Squire McCormick in Slia
mokin.
The members of the State constabul
ary, assisted by the local authorities,
have been secretly busy for the past
several weeks in the coal region end
of Northumberland county, gathering
evidence against a number of suspect
ed foreigners. Ten men Were arrested
Monday night on the information giv
en the police by Joseph Ravita. Yes
terduy morning they were all lodged
in the Sunbnry jail to await trial.
Six of the lueu are from Shamokin,
three from Marion Heights and one
fro n Exchange.
At the hearing Joseph Nestico was
the first witness called. He stated that
he had been warned by Joseph Ravita
that the Black Hand intended to kill
him. Ravita himself was then called
and stated that he had joined the
Black Hand two years ago and that
they held their meetings at the Sha
mokin cemetery aud at the homes of
the different members. He said that
there were about forty of the Black
Hand members in Marion Heights and
fifteen in Shamokin. Fifty dollars had
beeii given a stranger by the name of
Lewis Gissioney to kill Nestico and
at 20 meetings which he attended the
question of killing Nestico was al
ways brought tip. He had once in
formed against a member of the Black
Haud aud they vowed vengeance. The
real name of the Black Hand is Mont
ervamo, which is the name of an It
alian family outlawed by the Italian
government, who formed the society.
At a christening held last June by
Sain Costa all the Black Haud were
present. The host, Ralph and Frank
Oassani aud several others with a
stranger went into the back room
Costa told them that one of the guests
Anthony Nestico, had two hundred
dollars in one of his shoes. The next
morning Nestico was found dead near
the Luke Fiddler colliery.
Ralph Pussaui corroborated the story,
stating that he had been present at
tin christening. When shown a pict
ure of twelve Italians he picked the
nmrdorer from the group. Pussani
sad that he had been sent to Potts
ville to kill a marked man in that
place, but that hi, <■ mrage had failed
ami ho had been unable to do the job.
He said that it was the custom of the
society to have men from a distance
commit the murders, as there would
be less chance of their being recogniz
ed
A Fearfnt Death Record.
Here is the railroad record of the
United States for ninety days: One
thousand three hundred and thirty
nine human beings were killed. Twen
ty-one thousand, seven hundred and
twenty-four were maimed. Three i
million, six hundred aud live thou
sand,nine hundred and sixty-nine dol- 1
lars worth of property was destroyed.
Two hundred and twenty-two pass
enger trains ran off the track. Three |
hundred and twenty collisions occur- j
red. Four thousand two hundred and
seventy-nine accidents occurred to as
many trains. Now do you realizo
what it means? Once in every two
hours somebody was killed. Once ev
ery six minutes somebody was maim
ed, Onoe every 30 minutes a train was
wrecked. Once each minute |2O worth
of property was utterly lost from the
nation's wealth. \nd this goes on,
night aud day.
If vou goto a theatre and stay there
two hours and a half it doesn't seem
like a long time, does it? Yet while
yon have been amused one murder has
been done, 20 people have been struck
down, five traius have been wrecked
and over $3,000 of waste has been com
mitteed.

EDDIE MOVER'S
SAD PREDICAMENT
Eddie Moyer's house boat, tied up
! along shore on the south side, is froz
jen fast in the river. Eddie, himself,
j however, is snug in jail in Snubury,
where he is serving a sentence of sixty
j days for stealing coal.
Eddie lias been arrested on several
j occasions before, but until the present
jhe lias always succeeded in establish
ing his innocence and after a brief
imprisonment while awaiting a hear
! iug has gone scott free. In the prescut
I case, however, there were "complica
itions," which stood in tlio way of
I suoh a happy denouemeut.
Eddie was arrested last Friday by a
j special officer of the Pennsylvania
Railroad couipauy, on the charge of
pilfering coal from the dump near the
I pumping station. Eddie was arraign
|ed before Justice of the Peace E W.
Young. Eddie pleaded guilty to the
j charge and wanted to pay for the coal,
j Justice Young had no objection to
I such a course, but he soon let the re
sourceful Eddie know that he intend
ed to make him pay the full penalty
all the same. Accordingly the defend
ant withdrew his plea and obliged the
complainant to produce witnesses.
I Finally, however, lie admitted his
j Ruilt
j Justice Youug sentenced Moyer to
|an imprisonment of sixty days in the
i county jail. He was immediately re
i moved to Sunbury and began his term
! of imprisonment.
Before he is free again the robins
and blue birds will be singing ; the ice
will have broken and drifted from the
river,iu all probability taking Eddie's
house aud home along with it. Un
questionably, be has plenty to think
about as he languishes in durance and
counts the weeks aud days that must
elapse before he obtaius his freedom,
BLACK HANDERS
IN JAIL BEFORE
Of the twenty-four B lack Hand sus
pects rounded up near Shamokin last
| summer, practically all of whom were
released from prison on bail, three of
them are in the gang taken to the
Northumberland county jail by the
State constabulary on Tuesday. The
I evidence previously in the hands of
) tho authorities was meager,now, how
i ever, it is strong aud implicates some
lof them in the murder of Anthouy
Nestico.
I This roundup of Italians is looked
| upon as the most important in the his
tory of the region, and if the band now
in custody cannot be oonvicted justice
in Northumberland county will indeed
! be hard to secare.
The arrests have caused a stir among
i the Italians iu Shamokin, and many
I flitted to and fro on the streets Tues
! day. An effort is being made to ee
i cure their release but under tho cir
cumstances it is difficult to under
stand how such a thing could be
brought about.
At the hearing in Shaniokiu Mon
day Joe Ravito said he withdrew as a
member of the organization last June
Quito a stir was caused when the wit
ness pointed to one of tiie prisoners,
aud said that Monday morning he was
informed by Albert Chicatani, the
man at whom iie pointed that he heard
he (Chicatani) was about to l»t> arrest
ed and that if he were, tho man who
testified against him would be shot
dead in his tracks.
Another sensation was caused by the
revelation that Constable Tony Mir
arck, one of Shamokin's most eflicieut
officers, is slated for murder by the
society aud that his case is still pend
ing.

BULLETIN.
THE EASE OF TRAVEL TO-DAY
It lias just turned a century since the first boat was pro
pelled hy steam. There was not a complete locomotive in ex
istence then nor a mile of railroad track. But the pendulum
of time has swung rapidly forward within the last two genera
tions. The railroad, the telegraph, and the telephone have
revolutionized the commerce and the industry of the world and
have made neighbors of remote people.
First of all in this work of upbuilding, expansion, and
development comes the railroad. It is the medium of ex
change, the agency of transfer, and wherever it has gotie pros
perity has followed.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has built thousands of miles
of track and equipped it with the best rolling stock. It has
constructed or absorbed branch lines and consolidated them
with its main stem, thus bringing industrial and manufactur
ing interests in direct touch with all the centres of trade and
affording the people the facilities of travel in all directions.
Travel is no longer a dread, it is a pleasure. Comfortable
cars by day or flight drawn by the best type of locomotives
over a roadbed maintained at the highest degree of excellence,
eliminate as far as possible the annoyances of travel and make
it recreative rather than burdensome. Tickets are sold at the
lowest rates consistent with good management and under con
ditions most accommodating to the passenger. The schedules
of the trains are designed to meet the wishes and requirements
of the greatest number of travelers, atid the equipment, both
as to vehicles and employes, is kept at the highest state of ef
ficiency.
It is the object of the management to encourage travel by
making it easy. Interchange is the life of the social system.
Travel is a tonic to the tired—the lens of observation to all.
The Pennsylvania Railroad sells tickets good for a mile
as well as for a trip around the world. It will plan a trip for
you or provide the tickets for one of your own selection.
It is a fine thing to have a great transportation agency
like the Pennsylvania Railroad at your command.
810 CHURCH DEBT
NEARLY WIPED OUT
In their beautifully remodeled oliuich
ou Sunday the Washingtouvillo Luth
eran congregation began a series of re
dedicatory sorvices.two ministers from
a distance having charge of the ser
vices. At the services the debt of
sj:Soo,most of which was incurred dar
ing the remodeling of the ohnrch, was
nearly wiped out.
The church debt, was originally
$5300 Of this amount $3500 had been
subscribed before Sunday, leaving a
balance of S2BOO to be raised.
At the morning service Rev. George
Getzler. of Seliusgrove, president of
the Danville conference, had charge
of the service and preached a line ser
mon from Matthew ti ::><>. After the
► ernion subscriptions were taken up
amounting to $1555. At the evening
service Rev. f'fieuger, of Ringtown, a
former pastor, preached the sermon
from the 4th verso of the 84th psalm,
anil at this service st>Jo was pledged.
The Washingtouvillo Lutheran con
gregation is to be congratulated ou its
interprisq, It< cliurch is almost
new,but. little more than the old walls
remaining. It is now a magnificent
edifice entirely worthy of the high
purpose to'which it was dedicated ou
Suuday.
The Bracing Atmosphere.
The cold waves are of inestimable
worth to our valley. Ozone and grip
germs do not flourish in the same
space. A little more of the low temp
erature,a cold spell of a week and grip
will have to loose its hold. It had fat
tened and flourished on unsensonnbly
warm weather. And what a help the
zero temperature means to our many
indmtresi. If is an ill wind that
does not blow some one good,and look
ing on the selfish side, it means work
for the miners and the railroad men.
the coal dealers, teamsters, ice havst
ers. plumbers, etc., and of course that
beneficially affects the merchants, and
so it goes. Of course we have to con
sider the hardships of the poor,during
extreme cold, but if we did not have
seasonable weather it would mean
many more poor families, as there
would be less work. We are prone to
complain of cold waves. Instead of
welcoming the brief coldsnaps, the
health giving, bracing tonic,and busi
ness helper,they are greeted as a hard
ship and an infliction It is far better
to accept the weather each day for it
self as we do our daily bread without
taking thought for the tomorrow—iu
the spirit of Riley'a contented farm
er. The weather is something we very
fortunately cannot control,and it will
come good or bad,as we choose to call
it, as Nature in all her wise way
directs.
NEW ROLES
AND REGULATIONS
| On March Ist the new rules and reg
l ulations of the State board of health
governing the Hale of milk aud cream
go inro effect. After that date in ev
j ery milk wagon and in every store
from which milk and cream is sold a
! license must be displayed, issued by
the local boatd of health, ou all ap
plication from the dealer certifying
that the rules and regulations of the
State board of health have been fully
complied with.
Heretofore, under section 4 of bor
ough ordinance relating to mi kmen,
peddlers, &c dairymen were required
to take out an annual license,the price
of which was ten dollars, the same to
be issued by the secretary of the bor
ough aud signed by the chief burgess.
Under the new rules aud regulations
i the license must be issued by the sec
! retary of the board of health. The
necessary blanks have already been re
oeived by Dr. Cameron Sliultz, who is
; prepared to issue the new form of li
cense
j The license iu accordance with the
rules and regulations of the board of
health and the several acts of assem
bly hereafter will be issued only ou
formal application,made by filling out
a blank furnished by tlie department,
iu which the applicant certifies to a
set of facts as follows :
! Where the dairy is located and by
whom owned
The number of cows and the number
of quarts of milk and cream sold
i daily.
That each cow and herd has been ex
amined by n competent veterinary
within the prescribed number of
mouths and oerrili ■ll by him to be free
from all injurie- ur diseases
That there are no cases of typhoid
fever, consumption,diphtheria, scarlet
tever, small pox or other communic
able diseases of any kind in the house
or family of the dairyman, nor among
any of his employes: neither that there
are auy of the above communicable
diseases iu the house or family or
among the employes of the owner of
I dairy or dairies from which milk is
obtained. Should auj- communicable
j disease make its appearance in any of
the saiil families the dairyman obli
gates himself to immediately make re
port thereof to the secretary of the
j board of health
The dairyman further certifies that
ho has carefully read the rules and re
gulations governing tin) production of
milk and cream aud has fully com pi i
ed with the same. He agrees that the
i board of health may revoke his license
for any failure on his part to fully

rules and regulations. The application
certifying to the above facts is sworn
to and the license issued contains a
I clause explaining that it may lie re
|v- ked at anytime for failure to com

Heretofore those dairymen who
affirmed that they peddled milk of

DANVILLE AND
MILTON TROLLEY
The citizens of Maosdale, lik<> those
of Washiugtonville, are anxious to see
a trolley line hnilt from Dniiville to
Miltou Daring a conversation with
a representative citizen ot that place
Monday it was learned that the senti
ment in favor of a trolley is so strong
that the farmers there may lako some
iniative iu the matter before lon*.
The gentleman quoted was inclined
to think that the trolley promoters do
not figure on the proposition rightly ;
that they do not understand the re
sources of the oouutry and the spirit
of the farmers between Danville and
