C. E. Andrews, of New Bethlehem,
who bad a stroke of paralysis on the
20th of November, of which mention
was made in The Star last week, died
last Friduy forenoon and was burled
Monday afternoon. Tho deceased was
60 years old. Ho had lived in New
Bethlehem a half century. Ho had a
wide reputation as a business man. In
his death New Bethlehem loses one of
her best citizens. Tho deceased was
the father of Mitt. M. J. McKnteor.
It was stated In The Star lost week
that several persons in tho east end of
town had been badly frightened by some
hideous monster, with eyes like balls of
fire. We have since learned what it
was. A wag, who was out for fun, got
a large piece of heavy paper, cut two
holes in it, held a lighted lantern in
front of him, under the paper, and
walked out on the dark street. Had
the frightened persons been courageous
enough to club or stone what they sup
posed was a monster, it would not have
been such a huge joke for the follow
who fixed himself up to frighten people

entertainment said: "My heart bohbod
up serenely und went pitapat." Prof.
G. W. Lenkerd deserves credit for tho
high cluss entertainments ho has been
giving the people of Reynoldsvillo tho
pleasure of hearing.
Overdose of Laudanum.
Miles Towns, who had been working
nt Hopkins big mill, near this place,
during tho summer sawing season for a
number of years and spending tho win
ters nt his homo in Lock Haven, died
at his homo In Lock Haven lust Satur
day morning from an overdose of laud
anum which ho had taken tho night
before to cure a pain in his head. Mr.
Towns was a Christian gentleman, hon
ored and respected by his followinon.
He was "2 years old.
Fatal Accident.
George Dixon, a sixteen-year-old boy
of Prescnttville, was so badly Injured in
tho Spraguo niino lust Wednesday that
ho died Sunday afternoon. George was
employed In tho mine as a trapper. Ho
was riding out on tho front end of a trip
of cars nnd through the fault of some
ono an empty car was standing out over
a switch fur enough for tho londed cur
the boy was on to crush into it, und ho
was euught across tho stomach between
tho curs as they collided. The deceased
was a son of John Dixon, who was in
Colorado, near Denver, when tho acci
dent hupiiened to bis son. He was tele
graphed for and arrived hero at noon
yesterday. Funeral will bo held in the
Catholic church at nine o'clock this
morning and interment will bo made in
tho Catholic cemetery.
Better Attended than Usual.
A larger crowd attended tho union
Thanksgiving sorvlces held in the M. E.
church lust Thursday forenoon than has
ever before attended such a service in
this place. Most all the stores of town
closed from 10.00 A. M. to 3.00 P. M. and
many of tho business men attended tho
services. Dr. C. C. Rumberger, pastor
of the M. E. church, announced the
opening hymn, "America," and tho
congregation jolnod heartily in Binglng.
Rev. J. M. Dean, pastor of the Baptist
church, offered an appropriate prayer,
Rev. W. F. Robor, pastor of tho Pres
byterian church, read a beautiful Psalm.
The second hymn was announced by Dr,
Rumberger and after the singing of it,
Rev. Ruber preached a sermon full of
beautiful thought and thankfulness
from this text: "In everything give
thanks: for this Is the will of God in
Christ Jesus concerning you." The ser
mon will be found on tbe first page of
this issue of The Star.
Put on More Postal Clerks.
The postal clorks on the A. V. R'y
want an order issued compelling the
citizens of this borough and West
Reynoldsvllle to drop their mail in the
postoffico instead of mailing on the
trains. On Monday morning the mail
carrier at this place handed the postal
clerk over one hundred letters, and
these would all have to be sorted and
stamped before the train arrived at
Hopkins, one and a half miles west ol
here, besides the work of opening the
pouch and sorting out what other mail
there was for Hopkins. We understand
that the work is very heavy on this road
for the mall agents, and especially on
trains Nob. 1 and 2. It is very con
venient for the publlo to mall letters on
tbe trains and if one mail agent cannot
do the work, two can, and we don't be'
lleve the 'people should be debarred
from mailing letters on the train.
This would not only apply to Reynolds
vllle, but all along the A. V. R'y, for
Uncle Sam would not be just to dony
our peoplo a privilege that would be
granted to others.
Some people think1 that Postmaster
McGaw's salary is based on the number
of stamps canceled at the Reynoldsvllle
office and that he has something to do
with tho attempt to put a stop to tho
mailing of letters on the trains. Tbe
postmaster's salary here is based on tbe
amount of stamps sold and other business
of the office, and the canceling of
stamns has nothing to do with tbe sal
ary. Fourth olass postmasters have
their salaries based on tbe number of
stamps canceled, but Reynoldsvllle it
not in mat oiass.
Pythian Anniversary.
Nineteen years ago last Wednesday
Valiant Lodge No 401, Knights of
'ythias, was organized in Reynoldsvllle
with a membership of thirty, and its
membership now numbers ninety. Out
of the thirty charter members only
three are now in this lodge. Supreme
Vice Chancellor Thomas G. Sample, of
Pittsburg, was present when Valiant
Lodge was organized, and be was also
present last Wednesday evening. Tbe
anniversary exercises were held In Dell's
hall. Past Chancellor Philip Kochlor
presided. Dr. Ernest, of Punxsutawney,
made the opening address. The M. E.
quartette, Messrs. John Trudgen and
John Reddccllff and Misses Llzzlo
Koehler nnd Carrie Albright, sang n
selection. Rev. Thomas Booth then

tho honor of riding the samo Pythian
'gout" that President McKlnley rode,
or In other words, whs Initiated In the
sumo led go that the President was
nltiutcd In. After this address It whs an
nounced thut the artists of tho culinary
department had their part of the pro
gram ready, and an hour was spent In
replenishing tho Inner man. Thequnr
tetto then sang another selection and
then Supremo Vice Chancellor Sample
was Introduced and In a forty minute
address enld many complimentary and
praiseworthy things of the Knights of
ythias. Ho said In 1878 the K.of P. hnd
a membership of 79,000, and now It has
r00,000,and that the time will come when
Its membership will be ovor 1,000,000. A
K.of P. lodge has been organized at Jun
eau, Alaska. Since the organization of
the K.of P. In this country ovor$n,000,-
000 have been paid out for sick benefits
and over $2,000,000 to wfdows and or
phans.
Mr. Sumplo closed his speech at 11.40
and then William Copping announced
that there would bo a turkey walk.
Sheriff Burns and wifo were first in lino
for the turkey but Sam'l Sax ton and Mrs.
Copping wero tho winners. Tho turkey
proved to bo H small roasted spring
chicken that had been rolled up In
enough paper to liavo tho apcarance
of being six times its actual size.
The Schiverea Meetings.
Tho meetings to be held in Reynolds
vllle under Mr. Schlvereu's direction
will not commence until Now Year
Duy on account of the remarkablo suc
cess of Mr. Schivoroa's meetings now
being held in New bury port, Muss.
Mr. Schiverea writes: "It looks as If
God would give us a mighty victory
bore, and It would bo a calamity to
leave Just now. By preaching in the
shops and with the working men, I am
reaching many. The blessing Is spread
ing to another city near by and if 1 can
stay here as long as advisable it will
mean so much for lost souls. You have
my word and I will come the 1st of
December, if you Insist, but I wish that
you might make it Jan. 1st. I will
surely come then and will glvo you the
best tlmo in the year." -
From the Newbnryport newspapers it
appears that hundreds are utterly una
ble to got within sound of the evangol
lst's voice and tho churches engaged
are having a great blessings.
Preparations will bo going on all
through December for the Schiverea
meetings and it is expected that 1818
will open with a great revival of right
eousness. J. M. Dkan.
"The American Girl."
Can you picture to yourself a rushing,
mounting wave? Its crest Is white with
foam. Kvery moment it gathers force.
its coloring is more vlvlu, more strlk

rises to the utmost height. There is a
sudden crash, a blinding mass of falling
water, a deafening roar. The wave
has fallen. The echoes thundor out its
requiem. Can you picture this? Yes V

LOCAL INSTITUTE.
Larce Crowd Attended the Institute
In West Reynoldsvllle Baturday.
Saturday forenoon a number of teach
ers assembled in the publlo school
building of West Reynoldsvllle, whero,
after devotional exercises, conducted by
tho principal, they organized them
selves Into an Institute, electing A. J.
Postlothwalt president, O. H. Johnston
vice-president, ana Maggie uutler sec
retary.
in a short, won worded address or
welcome, Prof. Postlethwait made all
foel at home and comfortable, free to
peak and ready to enjoy tho occasion.
This address was rescinded to In a very
lining manner Dy rroi. j. 11. wagner.
Miss Hannah HtautTcr read a very In
teresting paMr on the subject of "Pri
mary Geography." Miss Tacy Dempsey
followed with a paper on the subject oi
Vertical Writing. She handled the
subject In an Intelligent way. Others
mined In approving tho system, but
brought out the fact that with some
vstoms of vertical writing it is dlmcult
to develop speed, while with other sys
tems speed Is easily acquired.
i'rol. U. V. lcnKoid then iduivssed
the nudience. I In urged the teachers
to keep In mind tho fact that their
duty Is to develop tho mental faculties
of tho children, not to tench "short
cuts."
Tho citizens as well ns the teachers
showed their Intense Interest In the
school work by crowding tho room dur
ing tho afternoon session. This large
audience received a most gracious
greeting by tho girls' chorus expressed
In tho song entitled, "Welcome.
J. II. Wairner gave a very good and
helpful talk on tho subject of "Head
ing." Mr. Wagner brought this fact
vividly before the minds of his hearers:
that Heading Is tho key to all the other
branches. The subject was further
discussed by Profs. Woodward and
Madden.
Prof. N. n. Madden entertained tho
Instituto for somo time with a scholarly
discourse on History. Mr. Madden
spoke of History as helping to Improve
the imnglnutlvo powor. He showed by
illustration how the study of History
may be mado Interesting. In primary
instruction ho thought it would be well
to have the pupils learn historical
poems, songs, etc., as they would per
haps remember the events better that
are connected in verse.
Tn C. H. Frees' remarks on the sub
ject assigned to tho citizens for discus
sion bo said: "Parent' duty to tho
schools has been neglected In tho pust.
It is to bo hoped thut this subject may
he discussed more fully, at least In Jef
ferson county niter visits on Patrons
Day, Dec. 2." In his closing thought
ho used these words: "If requirements
of tho community aro of a high stand
ard then will tho schools become bet
ter."
Supt. R. B. Teitriek took for his sub
ject, "Management." He gave tho
teachers some good ideas as to how and
why they should make the school room
pleasant and attractive. During his
talk ho said that no school could be
well taught if not managed. Ho ad
vised the teachers to get order first and
then if any time was left, to teuch. Ho
also brought before the minds of tho
teachers the necessity of enlisting tho
sympathy and co-operation of parents.
Lilttie uemens ituigoway favored the
institute with a very pleasing recita
tion." T. N. Neff gave a very practical talk
on "Number Work." This was especi
ally helpful to primary teachers.
At 4.UU the llag was presented by 1'rof.
Postlethwait In a short address, whlcb
could not help but stir tho patriotism
of all who heard It. He said: "Tho
schools must teach patriotism as well
scholarship." He urged that every
school house, every academy, and every
college be made a nursery of patriotism,
whore it should be taught that the true
American citizen is tho highest type of
manhood. He further etuted that the
true glory of our counrty consists in
what education is doing to give a Na
tional character to our people, and to
inspire In them a love of country and
an ambition for the highest form of en
lightened citizenship.
supt. Tel trick responded in a very
able address, which was overflowing
ith the true spirit of a patriotic heart.
The Institute then adjourned to the
outside and unfurled tbe Stars and
Strips to the breezo.
The audience repeatedly manifested
their appreciation of the musio, which
was furnlshod by a chorus of fourteen
girls and the Strauss Banjo and Mando
lin Club. Sec.
An Opinion About Football.
Football was once a very healthful,
harmless and Innocent amusement, and
just the gymnastic thing for idle bones
or a tired brain, but it has become so
woefully scientific of late, and so much
modeled after a prize fight the ending
often times no less tragic that as now
played, the right of the game to an ex
istence Is bccomlngiserlously question
able, men, too, tne game is now
bandied and rated and advertised, and,
practically at least, given the samo Im
portance as the useful professions,
that one would think It as necessary as
farming, and that if it were disco n
tinued thousands of people would lose
their work ana suffer impoverishment.
What's the good, anyhow, of making
so much of a mere child's play, I ask,
and I believe with every show of reason?
Is anyone the wiser, or the better, or
the richer after the game has come off?
In the writer's mind, it is rather the
reverse, and he knows of nothing in
vogue more calculated to lower the
standard of manhood than the present
day football.
This nation will go down in history
as the one that made foot ball its chief
and most Important Institution. I. A. S.

May Smith Robblns and her company
met with a hearty reception at tho
High Street theatre yesterday after
noon, a large audience generously ap
plauding the performance of " Little
Trixie," The piece is a musical comedy,
with only the shadow of a plot, but
enough to allow tbe graceful introduc
tion of a score of pleasing specialties in
tbe way of singing and dancing and
some very olover bits of comedy busl-
ness. Nearly every member ot the'
company appears In a specialty, and the
concerted musical numbers were all
good. Columbus (O.) State Journal. At
