REGENERATING
CENTRM
The town of Ceutralia iu the upper
end of Columbia county is popularly ,
supposed to be a pretty had place aud
quite frequently tales of gruesome
misdeeds aud more often of political
graft euiinate from that community.
But if all reports are true all that has
been ended.
Oil Sunday night special services
closed oue of the most successful mis
sions ever held in this section of the
state. It appears from the opinion of
the people who attended that no mis
sion has ever made so profound an im
pression and none has had such far
reaching effects as this one at Ceu
tralia.
The confessions that were heard
amounted by actual count to 1,601. : of
these 1,282 were adults, divided as fol
lows : 610 women and 671 men. The
men exceeded the women by over sixty.
The men outnumbered the women in
the number of Total Abstinence pro
mise cards signed. There were 427 wo
men and 474 men who voluntarily en
rolled themselves under the bauner of
total abstinence, making over 900
Catholic adults in the town of Ceu
tralia who do not touch intoxicating
drinks iu any manner.
There was another pleasing feature
of the mission, and this was the org
anization of a Holy Name society, as
a protest against the practice of pro
lane swearing and in order to elovate
a reverence for the Holy Name of God.
There were about 400 men who indic
ated their intention to become charter
members of this organization. These
few facts speak londer than any amount
of words.
They are the results of the mission.
The services Sunday night the
renewal of vows of baptism. The bap
tismal font was set up on high and
beautifully decorated with lights and
Easter flowers, aud after an appropri
ate sermon all the men stood up and
in voice full of earnestness and pur
pose they solemnly protested their de
termination to stand by the work of
the mission and keep the promises
luade therein.
BSG HAT HELD
PACIFIC ex PRESS
PITTSBURG, Apr. 22.
There was a whole peck of trouble
at tiie Last Liberty station on tiie
Pennsylvania railroad the other morn
ing The Pacific express was five min
utes lute in getting away after it had
stopped to let off a pretty g:rl who
came over from New York. She had
on her new Easter hat and it was a
dream. It was as big as a dining room
table, and that's what caused the
Pacific express to leave five minutes
late.
The young woman pnt on her hat
before tiie depot was reached, and
when the train stopped she started ont
of the Pullman at a brisk gait. Sud
denly there was a grinding noise, and
the young womau came to a stop The
aisle along the side of the Pullman
was not wide enough for the hat when
it was on top of tiie young woman's
head. The conductor was shouting
that tiie train would have to start,and
there was all kiuds of excitement.
Then the porter started to push the
young womau from amidships, but it
wasn't auy use.
Finally one of tiie male passengers
made a suggestion, which was acted
upon. The young woman removed half
a dozen hat pins, and,after much care
ful maneuvering, the hat came off, as
did also the varnish on both sides of
the car. The I,at was then tipped side
wise, tho young woman got out and
the Pacific express got away. The hat
which caused all the trouble measured
36 inches from stem to stern.
STREET SPRINKLER
IN COMMISSION
The street sprinkler of the Friend
siiip firo comptny went into commis
sion yesterday. Its appearnuce was
welcomed by the public,as tiie streets,
especially Mill street, were becoming
very dusty.
The street sprinkler has received a
thorough overhauling and is in the
hands of the same efficient crew that
had charge of it last year. No doubt
the best of service will be rendered.
The stand pipes 'that supply the
street sprinkler with water unfortun
ately have not as yet been erected and
the driver is pat to a good deal of in
convenience. Water 'can be obtained
from tiie fire plugs only and a short
hose lias to be carried along to be used
in filling the sprinkler.

PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD
BULLETIN
THE FORTY BEACHES OF NEW JERSEY.
1 he one hundred and twenty-five odd miles along the New
Jersey coast line from.Long Branch to Cape May presents the
greatest pleasuring section in the United States.
I pon the bluffs of the northern end and the gently shelv
ing sands of the southern end are located forty resorts which
entertain during the spring and summer seasons millions of
pleasure seekers.
At no time in the year is this section more delightful than
during the spring and early summer months. One who has
not seen them at this season would marvel at their delights.
The great pine belt, which extends through the center of New
Jersey, fills the air with life-giving ozone, which combined
with the salty tang of the sea and the open air exercise pos
sible at all times, is exhilarating and tonic to the highest de
gree.
Long Branch, with its beautiful cottage-neighbors, West
End, Hollywood, and Elberon; Deal and Allenliurst, largely
devoted to cottage life; Asburv Park and Ocean Grove, attract
ing thousands yearly; Avon, Belmar, Conio, Spring Lake, and
Sea Girt, are a galaxy of attractive places upon the bluffs
where "the country meets the sea."
1 lien the Bamegat Bay section, where Point Pleasant, Sea
Side Park, Island Heights, Baruegat City, and Beach Haven,
with other smaller places nearby, welcome the summer so
journer.
Atlantic City, with its seven miles of beach and*drives,
and its charming suburbs, leads the island resorts, separated
from the main land by the great salt marshes.
Ocean City, Sea Isle City, Avalou, and Stone Harbor;
Anglesea, \\ ildwood, Holly Beach, and Wildwood Crest also
have a large summer population.
And Cape May, with its new million dollar hotel and its
wonderful improvements makes a fitting climax and holds a
high place among the forty beaches.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is the direct route to all of
these resorts from all sections of the country. Its splendid
train service makes each of them neighbor to all the rest and
to the world at large.
QUARTER OF A
| MILLION FIRE
The most destructive fire that has
J visitad Miltou since the great lire of
11880, occurred Tuesday morning, when
| the cold punchsd nut department of
| the Milton Manufacturing company
■ was burned. The loss will approxi
mate a quarter of a million dollars,
upni which there is an insurance of
$92,000.
The building was a stone aud frame
structure 415x100. The fire canght iu
the boiler room. The watchman had
been there not more than five minutes
before the fire was discovered. When
he came back the building was on lire,
] but had not gained much headway. He
hastily attached the company's hose
aud turned a stream of water on the
flames, but was not able to get it un
der control, so he soanded the alarm.
The fire companies responded prompt
-1 ly, but the fire spread so rapidly that
little or nothing conld be done to save
the building and its contents, audit
was only by hard work that the office
building aud store house were saved.
The building probably contained
; more costly machinery than any build
l ing of its size iu Central Pennsylvania
aud in addition to the machinery and
equipment used iu the cold punched
nut department, about twenty-three
thousand dollars worth of new mach
inery purchased for another branch of
the big plant was stored in this build
ing preparatory to itH installation in
one of the new steel buildings. The
value of the buildings and contents
will reach $360,000, but the exact loss
cannot be determined until the damage
to the machinery is accurately deter
mined, but it will unquestionably ex
ceed two hundred thousand dollars.
The insurance, which was placed by
the local agencies, covers the follow
ing items: On buildings, $18,400: on
machinery, $68,000: on stock. 1(5,000.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Since the destruction of the old bar
mill about a month ago, on which the
company sustained a loss over and
above the insurance of about 812,000,
every precaution has been taken to
guard against another fire.
Earlier Straw Hat Season.
A Philadelphia batter predicts—per
haps the hope Is father to the predic
tion—thnt straw lints will bo seen in
general use much earlier this year than
ever before. "The old custom," says
the Quaker City merchant, "used to
make the open season for the straw
lid extend from Memorial day to Sept.
1. but the college boys have started
tiie custom of wearing straw hats early
and late and have about broken up the
old dates. Every year the start Is
earlier and the end later. Out at the
University of Pennsylvania the first
straw hats are worn at the Princeton-
Pennsylvania baseball game, which is
always played on the first Saturday in
May, and the light headgear is kept on
deck until October. At Princeton the
boys put on their straw hats In March
If it is warm enough and keep them
on until November. You see, the col
lege boys own the town up there, and
they can do about as they please In the
matter of dress. At any rate, these
college lioys have their imitators in the
would t>e bloods about town, and as a
result the straw hat season has been
extended a full month, and we hatters
are already preparing for the rush."

MONTHLY REPORT
OF DISPENSARY
Dr. Stock, who lias ohnrgo of the
tuberculosis rtiepeutary of this city,
has preypnioi! his second report tf) Dr.
Dixon The month closed on April
20th.
During the past month three new
patients have been admitted, making
five in all that aro being treated at the
dispensary. These, it. is understood,
after a thorough investigation have
been found to be too poor to pay for
treatment and essential diet. They,
therefore, in adiition to treatment,
are supplied with milk and eggs free
During the month ninety quarts of
milk and 32r ;! dozen of eggs have been
dispensed by Dr. Stock. In addition
to these there have been distributed as
needed paper napkins, pasteboard caps
and supplies of a like nature intended
to protect the public from the germs
of the disease.
The patients all seem to be doing
well. Four of those under treatment
show a total gain of 14}<j' pounds dur
ing the month. In one patient there
is a loss of weight,although it amounts
to less than a pound. The general
condition of the patients,even the one
who lost weight.shows improvement.
Under a ruling of the department
the dispensary is not permitted to take
charge of bedridden cases at present.
Later on, however, it is not improb
able that the rules may be modified so
as to take in such cases.
Gases of tuberculosis in alms houses
and prisons are also excluded from the
dispensary. Dr. Stock wrote Dr. Dix
on in relation to this matter and was
informed that such cases had been re
ferred to the board of public charities
and that the latter body has already
taken action in the matter and in pro
viding for the jails and alms houses is
prepared to act in conjunction witli
the Pennsylvania department of health.
The dispensary is open every Tues
day and Thursday from J to 4 p. m

which started in the altar, the flames
being extinguished before any oue had
time to become frightened.
At Newark a minister solemnly
warned his congregation that "Merry
Widow" hats start mnay a inau on the
downward path.
A Burlington diepatchjjsays, several
local churches have proposed a ban up
on "Merry Widow" hats in the con
gregation duriug service. Fastors de
clare that men are becoming fewer at
the servioes as the number of big hats
increase and that the popular style
threatens to make many male back
sliders Ushers in some of the more
crowded churches were at their wits'
ends to seat the Master congregations.
Pews which have comfortably accom
modated six persons would hold no
more than four when the quartet wore
large hats.
It is in the power of gentlemen to
put a quietus on the new headgear ab
omination, by absenting themselves at
public gatherings, churches,entertain
ments, etc., where the hats aro per
mitted to remain on the heads of the
wearer, or refusing to accompany as
escorts the females who wear them.
The fad, like others, however, will be
j short lived. Extremes in clothing of
! any kind, do not survive long. It is
j the purpose of ladies to make tliem
j selves becoming, and attractive to the
j male sex, but it is hard to detect good

clour vise known, was removed
the Northumberland county jiil by
two members of the St*te Constabul
ary Friday afternoon and taken before
Justice of tiie Feaoe Carpenier,at Sun

on the oharga of murdering Anthony

Against hira appeared Ralph and

of iiis fallow conntrymeu and fellow
members in the Black Hand society at
Shamokin. Thoy testified that they
had been at a christening in Caristo's
house one night in April one year ago.
About forty others,all members of the
Black Hand, were present. Oariato
called some of them into a back room,
including the witnesses. Among them
was a stranger, whom they after
wards learned was named Lewis Ges
siony. Caristo addressed them and said
that Nestico intended to have them ar
rested ; that he had $l5O in his stock
ing, and that they might as well get
the money and put him away at the
same time. He suggostod that the
stranger commit the deed as he was
not likely to be recognized. Several
days later the witnesses saw Nestico
and Gessiony together in a hotel near
the Pennsylvania station. That night
Nestico was mnrdered and the strang
er was no more seen.
Dr. Dreher, Northumberland coun
ty corouer, and Sheriff Taby, who at
that time was high constable of Sha
mokin, testified as to the finding of
the body. There was a bullet wound
in the left breast. The missile had pen
etrated an artery, causing a hemorrh
age.

Fruit Growers Are Encouraged.
April thus far has brought us few
balmy days, the weather on the whole
being more like that of March. High
winds from the north west seem to be
j the rule and while we have escaped
snow in this immediate vicinity snow
! has fallen at intervals during the
month in nearby localities. Life out
jof doors in the main has had but lit
-1 tie charm.
Compared with April for several
years past tlio weather perhaps is not
1 unusual. Fruit growers find consola
tion in the fact that weather condi
tions such as prevail are favorable for
a big apple crop. Yery fine weather
during April would have had the ef
; feet of bringing out the blossoms only
ito be nipped by frosts later on. Here
' and there a peach tree is seen in bloom
; but in most cases even the peaoh trees
along with apple trees and other var
| ieties of fruit, are held back by the
raw, unseasonable weather.
A sudden thunderstorm, accompani
ed by high wind, a dashing rain and
j hail, at Jenkiutowu, Montgomery
county, on Sunday afternoon played
havoc with Easter gowns and rnillin
| ery, plants, foliage and fruit trees in
• bloom, doing much damage.
The new mayor of New Castle has
I decided on a more liberal policy re
; garding the Sunday laws than his pre
decessor allowed and on Sunday cigar
and fruit stores that had been closed
j for a year, were open to do business as
on week days.
