"Nil. 3, ran down a chicken thief oil Saturday and now lias liiin a prisoner behind bars. When Miss Walbnru visited her Chicken coop in the morning she dis covered that all that remained of three young chicks were blood and feathers scattered about on the floor. An in vestigation revealed the tracks of some small animal leading from the coop to a boardwalk a short distance away. Raising one of the boards in the walk *he found the dead chicks partly de voured, and while sadly gazing on the remains a largo white weasel came from another part of the walk and calmly watched proceedings. Deter mined not to let the thief escape un punished, Miss Walbnru contrived a neat, plan for his capture. Stretching the mouth of a sack over a hole at one end of the walk a lire which furnished a plentiful supply of smoke was built at the other end. In a few minutes Mr. Weasel was a pris oner in the bag. lie is a fine speci men, measuring over two feet from tip to tip, with about two inches of black on the end of his tail. Fourteen chickens have beeii killed this fall at the Walburn place by minks and wea sels. THE AMERICAN WOMAN. Her Position Here and Its Influence In the Old World. There is no doubt that tUe most in teresting thing to the European who lands on the northern shores of the new world Is the American woman— thut happy, victorious heroine of mod ern feminlnism who has discovered how to extract from the new condition of woman all the advantages with al most none <f the inconveniences; that being who has known how to assume the masculinity in all that regards in dependence and liberty of action and remain feminine in grace, charm and altruism; that American beauty, that American genius, whose wonders are eeeu aud felt in all the American and European reviews, whose writers de clare her to be engaged almost en tirely in severe study, in masculine work, sport and similar occupations. Europe, moreover, is right. The American woman is not only one of the most Interesting phenomena of North America, but Is also the phe nomenon of the new world that might have the greatest and gravest effect on the old, shaking on their founda tions the essential principles of our fe male instruction and training, over throwing the society of the old conti nent or continents, which rest to a greater extent than is realized on the untlque functions of woman in the family and in society.—Ulna Lombroso Ferrero In I'utnam's Magazine. THE RACE FOR RICHES. Is Wealth That Cannot Be Enjoyed Worth the Price? The writer once inquired of a very successful man: "When do you ever get a moment's time for your own self—to be your self and to think your own thoughts? Do you ever get a time like that?" The very successful man hesitated for a moment and then replied: "Why, yes, 1 get such a time while 1 am being shaved in the morning." Is success really worth the price when It must be paid for at such a rate? Of what use are mansions and country houses and great estates if one has no time to visit them and en- Joy their beauty? Why should one collect through ag 'ots the most ex quisite works of art if he cannot find more than a casual half hour in which to view them? What are wife and children if you are nlways hastening about the world, far too preoccupied to give them any serious thought or to receive the pleasure which their company could afford you? And yet there Is one sole satisfac tion—lf it be a satisfaction. Millions of your fellow countrymen and coun trywomen will believe beyond oil doubt that you are really happy and •will envy you.- Munsey's Magazine. Icebergs. Apparently ice is ice. of course; but. strangely enough, there Is a marked difference iu It. Sea water and salt water in general freezes at a lower temperature than pure water. In doing which a part of the salt separates and the Ice when melted gives water that is fresher than the original, and along this same line there exists a marked difference iu form between the ice bergs of the two hemispheres. Arctic bergs are of irregular shape, with lofty pinnacles, cloud capped towers and glittering domes, whereas those of the southern waters are flat topped and solid looking. The former reach the sea by narrow fiords, while the latter ore more regular in formation, reach ing the open sea by tho way of wide passageways and not subject to the grinding and breaking efforts of their uorthern relatives.—Pittsburg Press.

SIX MET DEATH, SIX BADLY HURT WILKES-BARRE, Jan. 12. Five men and a boy were killed and six other men badly burned by an ex plosion of gas in the new shaft of the Nottingham colliery of the Lehigh and Wilkes-Barre Coal company at Ply mouth last night. The men were en gaged in sinking the shaft and at a point several hundred feet below the surface broke into a gas feeder, the explosion following. All the victims with one exception are foreigners. The mine is not considered a very gaseous one, and the officials are at a loss to know why there was such a large accumulation of gas ill the slope. It is reported that the miners went to their places before the lire boss made his inspection. The force of the explosion waster rilic, all the men being hurled a con siderable distance by the concussion and their bodies badly mangled. Spider Web as a Styptic. A spider's web, an old cure for bleed ing. is an uncleanly application, as it is generally procured from the roost neglected corner in a room and is con sequently laden with dust. The ear liest reference to this remedy in our language seenia to be in a translation of that curious encyclopedic work of the middle ages "De I'roprietaribus Iterum." where we rend. "Coppe webbe that is white and dene staunchytb blood." But as I have seen it applied to a cut tinsrer It has been anything but white and clean. There Is another reference in Shakespeare's "Midsum mer Night's Dream," when Bottom, the weaver, says to the fairy Cobweb. "I shall desire of you more acquaintance, good master Cobweb: if I cut tny lin ger I shall make bold with you." As a styptic, however. It must be ac knowledged a spider's web as some what effective. In a case of excessive hemorrhage after the extraction of a tooth a dentist applied a cobweb with most satisfactory results.—Hospital. Military Rats. An old military dictionary tells us that rats were sometimes used in wat for the purpose of tiring powder maga zines by means of lighted matches tied to their t.iils. We cannot offhand re call any historical instance of this, but presumably it did occur, seeing that Marshal Vim ban laid down special rules for counteracting it. Anyhow, the dodge is as old as Samson, who. you may recall, used foxes in a similar way for a somewhat similar purpose. As to the royal rat catcher, we may add that he had a special official livery. According to Pennant's "British Zool ogy," it consisted of a scarlet costume, embroidered with yellow worsted, in which were figures of mice destroying wheat sheaves. By the way. rats were not the only animals honored with a special catcher. Leicester, tor instance used to pay a yearly salary of tl lis. Cd. to its municipal mole catcher. London Standard. The Man-of-war Bird. The frigate pelican, or man-of-war bird, is usually met with by travelers in the tropics. Although when stripped of its feathers It is hardly larger than a pigeon, yet uo man can touch at the same time the tips of its extended wings. The long wing bones are ex ceedingly light, and the whole appa ratus of air cells is extremely devel oped. so that its real weight is very trifling, it flies at a great height above the water and from that elevation pounces down on fish, especially pre ferring the poor, persecuted flying fish for its prey. According to some au thors. the name of man-of-war bird was given to it because its appearance was said to foretell till l coining of a ship, probably because the frigate peli can and real frigates are equally ad verse to storms, and both like to come into harbor if the weather threatens. Drinking and Smoking In Korea. The Koreans are inveterate smokers of greeu tobacco, which they use in pipes with tiny howls and stems two or three feet long. They stick their pipes down the back of the neck when not using tbetn. There is a deal of drinking, too, though they have tnauy proverbs against it—"Heaven aud earth are too small for a drunkeu man," "White whisky makes a red face," "There is no bottom to the appetite for drink." Millet and"The Angelua." It was only after long years of strug gle and dire poverty, through which Millet was consoled and supported by his wife, that the peasant painter was able to take the three roomed cottage at Barbizon aud "try to do something really good." It was then that he be gan to paiut that most beautiful "poem of poverty," "The Augelus," which is today ono of the most valuable pic tures in the world. Again and again he threw aside the picture in despair of ever finishing it to his satisfaction, and as often bis wife replaced it on the easel and Induced him to continue. On one occasion he was so Incensed at not being able to produce a certain effect that he seized a knife and would have destroyed the canvas and ended the matter once for all had not his wife fortunately seized his hand and induced him to give the picture another trial. Thus it was that at last "The Angelus" found a place on the wnlls of the Louvre. The success It won en couraged Millet to paint many more pictures and thus place himself among the immortals iti art. Police and Press. It was Senator Evarts who paid this compliment to the police of New York at an annual dinner of the force: "As compared with the press you exhibit a striking contrast. You know a great many things about our citizens that you don't tell, and the press tells u great many things about our citizens that it doesn't know." His Role. "That man made an immense for tune out of a simple little Invention." "Indeed! What did he invent?" "Invent? Nothing, you dub! He was the promoter!"— Cleveland Leader. THE JOSEPH RATTI HOSPITAL The growing popularity of the Jos eph liatti hospital at Bloomsburg has rendered it necessary that the institu tion be enlarged. At the annual meet ing of the corporation it was decided to attempt to raise a fund of $20,000 in Bloomsburg and nearby towns for the purpose of erecting an additional building to contain four public wards, two of which will be for male and two for female patients. There will also be fourteen rooms for private patients. It is proposed to devote the present building, with the exception of the operating room, to administrative pur poses. The old building will also con tain rooms for the superintendent and nurses. The officers at the meeting were re elected as follows: President, A. B. Schoch; vice president, L. N. Moyer; t reasurer,F. G. Yorks; secretary, John G. Harman. A committee to solicit funds through out the entire valley will be appointed in a day or so and will at once begin work. It is believed that if the above named sum can be raised, the state can bo relied upon fcr SIO,OOO, which will insure the new building and will af ford sufficient means to keep the hos pital up to the highest standard of efficiency. The Joseph Ratti hospital has made a very fine record. During the year there was a mortality of only four per cent. It is also claimed that during that time there were forty successful operations for appendicitis at the hos pital. DANVILLE'S PART. The time was when Danville aspir ed to possess a hospital of its own. The agitation,however, seems to have entirely died out. During an interview yesterday a physician of town stated that he could not see that conditions here warrant a hospital—considering the cost of erecting a building and the expense of maintenance. In view of the high degree of efficiency attained by the Joseph Ratti hospital and the excellent facilities for travel between Danville and Bloomsburg it was his opinion that our town in the matter of hospital accommodations is pretty well fixed and that our citizens, if they Ijave any money to spend in that line and desire to appear really ap preciative, can do no better than to donate something to the Joseph Ratti hospital as they will have an oppor tunity to do in the near future. It was learned yesterday that prao * tically all the time there are one or more patients from Danville under ! treatment at the Joseph Katti hospital and that at least twenty-five Danville 1 people are treated at that institution j each year. I The rates are reasonable, being Jl2 j per week for a room. For the wards ! the charges are only $7 per week. In i some cases reductions have been made to suit the circumstances of the pati | out. The physician above quoted is ! authority for the statement that no ' person in need of treatment is ever I turned away from the hospital even if ; without a cent of money. CONQUERED HER RIVAL Pretty and Pathetic Story of Jenny Lind and Grisi. Jenny Lind and Grisi were both ri vals for popular favor in London. Both were Invited to sing the same night at a court concert before the queen. Jen ny Lind. being the younger, sang first and was so disturbed by the tierce. ) scornful look of Grisi that she was at the point of failure when suddenly an Inspiration came to her. The accompanist was striking the final chords. She asked him to rise aud took the vacuut seat. Her fingers wandered over the keys in a loving prelude, and then she saug a little ; prayer which she bad loved as a child, j She hadn't sung it for years. As she j sang she was uo longer in the pres ence of royalty, but singing to loving friends iu her fatherland. I Softly at first the plaintive notes j floated on the air. swelling louder and i richer every moment. The singer I seemed to throw ber whole soul Into | that weird, thrilling, plaintive "pray er." Gradually the song died away and ended In a sob. There was a si lence—the silence of admiring wonder. The audience sat spellbound. Jenny Lind lifted her sweet eyes to look Into the scornful face that had so dlscon | ?erted her. There was no tierce ex pression now. Instead a teardrop glis tened on the long, black lashes, and after a moment, with the Impulsive ness of a child of the tropics, Grisi crossed to Jenny Llnd's side, placed : her arm about her and kissed her, ! uttering regardless of the audience. Plan to Aid Mine Workers. With the assistance of mine opera tors the Young Men's Christian asso j ciation in eastern Pennsylvania has I begun a campaign to establish mining j Institutes throughout the anthracite j region. Bases of operation are being ; established at several points. One of I the priuclpal objects of this movement I is to afford opportunities to the for i eiguers In large numbers who, for the most part, aro untrained In mining and J ignorant of the English language. C. | L. Fay, the organization's mining work ] secretary, says that meetings held at C'arhondale, Scranton, Wilkosbarre and ; other cities and towns have been uu i usually successful. In the southern j district the Philadelphia and Reading ' company runs special trains for em j ployeea to attend the meetings.

[jifj irijOcSTS ttcLLl TUESDAY Tw i MI j ii 'STS wire liei I at the court 1 house Tuesday afternoon to inquire into the iii- ntal condition of two resi dents of Danville who are incarcerated at the hospital for the insane, each of whom hold property anil whose affairs need looking after. In order to give the court jurisdiction it was necessary that each be legally adjudged insane. The first inquest was held before Associate Judge Welliver at 2 o'clock. The jurors, chosen from the regular panel at court,were as follows: Curtis Cook, William Blecher, George Bedea, George liear, O. M. Leniger and Al fred Litchard. The subject of the inquest was Mary- Stuart, a chargo of the Danville and Mahoning poor district, who is pos sessed of a small amount of personal property and a pension of twelve dol lars per month. Dr. H. B. Meredith, Miss Wright and James James of this city testified. William Ease West rep resented the poor district. The jury adjudged the woman insane. In the second inquest which took place at :s o'clock, the subject was Russell H. Foust, the East Market street baker and confectioner, who lias been in the hospital since October 12, I'.IOS. His property includes the store, dwelling and liakeshop on East Market street, a small dwelling and a vacant lot on Cherry street. Dr. Meredith in testifying stated that Mr. Foust is incapable of doing business; also there are poor prospects of him recovering. He still has hal lucinations and delusions, with no lucid intervals. The attack came on slowly, making its first appearance nearly two years before ho was com- mitted to the hospital for the iusauo. Mrs. Foust, wife of Russell H. Foust also testified. She described lier hus band's condition prior to being com mitted to the hospital as well as the location and value of real estate own ed by liim. In this case also the patient was ad judged insane by the jury. The inquest was conducted by Wil liam Chrisman, Esq., of Bloomsburg. FINEST PICTURES FOR N. A.

The deceased was found dead in bed. He had linen in feeble health for many months and his death was liot unex pected. At 5 o'clock yesterday morn ing when one of the family entered his room he was still alive and was sleeping. At 8 o'clock he was found dead. The supposition is that he pass ed away about 0 o'clock. Joseph Jones was a native of Dan ville, residing here until a year or so ago, when, with his wife, he removed to Berwick. In his time he was a sta tionary engineer and was a capable and industrious man. As a member of the town council from the third ward during one term he rendered the bor ough valued and eflicient service. Ho was a consistent member of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal clrarch. Joseph Jones was the last survivor of six brothers, in their day all promin - I eut in industrial circles, among whom I beside the deceased were Clinton, Jef- I ferson, David, William and Emanuel ' Jones. lb' is survived by his widow, who is lying very ill and is not ex pected to live many days. The deceased was aged 78 years. He i began to decline several years ago. I During the year or so prior to death | lie was very infirm. | The body will be brought to Dan | ville for burial. The funeral will take i place on Friday at 2p. ni. from the I residence of C. H.
