AT the last session of court petition
largely signed by business men and heavy
tax payers was presented to the court, ask.
ing for some changes and improvements
In the court house. This petition was re-
ferred to the Grand Jury, and in their re-
port they recommended the erection of a
new front TO the court house. For years
there have been no accommodations about
the building. Women brought here as
witnesses have been obliged TO use the
same room in which the water closets are,
while waiting to go before the grand jury.
Women with children have no place where
they can Law them down, and are obliged
to hold them in their arms all day. The
library is too small and the Judges room
is public passage way for everybody.
The public offices are dark and damp.
On Monday evening, in accordance with
the announcement, the county commiss.
toner's inspected drafts and plans submitted
to them by several architects, and finally
adopted those of A. s. Wagner, of William
sport. The proposed addition will extend
out to the pavement and will be 70 feet
on Main street, and 40 feet deep. 1t will
be three stories high with handsome
tower. On the first floor will be located
the Prothonotary's and Registers offices,
the Commissioners and Sheriff's remaining
where they are, and the Treasurer's Office
will be removed to one of the rooms vacated
by others. On the second floor will be the
Judges room, the Law Library, Jury rooms
and woman's room with lavatory, closets,
etc. On the third floor will be court
room 26 by "A feet, to be used whenever it
is necessarysto hold two courts at the same
time. The probable cost Of this addition
will be about $40, 900. The Commissioners
say the county is ont of debt, and they
have nearly enough money on hand, with
what is due on the duplicates, TO pay for it.
People living out of town who have busi-
ness in court will be much more benefited
by this addition than the people of Blooms
burg.

NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES.

On Monday evening Of this week the
students and friends of the Normal school
had rare treat in listening to the lecture
delivered by Miss Oof Krarer, the little
Esquimaux lady. Everybody was enthu-
siastic over her, and the matinee given for
the benefit of the children of the town was
as great a success as the evening entertain
ment. 1t is remarkable that woman
with her ancestry and previous conditions
of life should have anything but the dull
est intellect and the grossest sensibilities.
On the contrary she shows remarkable
mental ability, quick wit, and warm
heart.
Several students have declared that her
lecture alone was worth more to them tha n
the cost OF ticket for the entire course.
A patron of the school said This
course of lectures will Doubt, IS do more
to commend the school to parents than
anything else could have done. | count it
great privilege that my daughter has a
chance there to hear the best talent in the
country"
The entire course has been chosen with
view to instruction. in an entertaining
way, and students who hear the lectures
not only have relief from arduous work,
but are given bit of culture and wisdom
that will always remain with them. The
next lecture will be Nov. 90, by Hon. r.
q. Horr, on The Labor Problem Tick.
cts for the remainder of the course will be
sold for $1.25.
Miss Eva Robinovitch, the Russian girl
at the Normal school, has warm friend in
Margaret Deland, the author as the follow
ing letter will show:
BosToN, MASS, Oct. 25th, 1890.
DEAR EVA:
was delighted to hear from you and the
good news of your letter gives me great
pleasure. l know how great was your de-
sire to learn, and now that the means have
come to you for study, l feel sure that you
will improve them. l hope you will tell
me more of yourself, what you are at work
upon, what your hours of study are, and a
little too Of your surroundings and your
friends.
Do make friends. They will make all
your life richer and better; for, that people
are ready 10 Oe Rlnu ana pleasant 10 eacn
other is my experience. But we too often
close our hearts against such kindness be-
cause we are suspicious OF it.
You did not tell me in your letter where
your brother Is, or what he is doing.
shall be glad to know that he is becoming
not only successful man, but a good and
true American citizen.
Since l saw you | have been to Europe,
and l am more and more convinced of the
great possibilities which our country offers
to its children. The countries of the Old
World seem to me to despair 80 of liberty
that they grasp at license. That, we need
not do in the United States. | think you
will agree with me, situated as you are
now, that nihilism is out Of place here.
We want to build up, not to tear down.
Is not this so ?
| am so glad of your good fortune, and
am always Your Sincere Friend,

a Big Concern.


EDS. COLUMBIAN:
While in attendance at the Bloomsbury
fair we were attracted by the elegant dis
play of furniture exhibited by w. j. Cor
rell & Co. This led us to visit to their
store on Main street, where we found they
occupied ten large floors, three being one
hundred and four feet deep, and all
were stocked with magnificent line of
goods, the largest and most complete car
ried by any store in the county. In the
undertaking department we found two
handsome hearses and a full line of under
takers goods. They do wholesale and
retail business, and are noted for fair and
honorable dealing, Anyone wanting any
thing in their line will find there the larg-
est and best stock, and prices are below
competition. A VISITOR.

PERSONAL.

NJ V. B. Kline of CatawIssa was in town
on Tuesday.
Judge Shuman visited the county sea
the first of the week.
R., W. Oswald spent several days in
New York this week.
c. NJ Drinker is a most ingenious me-
chanic, and he is the inventor of several
valuable articles on which patents have
been issued. One of them is a check for
baggage. 1t can also be used by travellers
to lock their grips or coats fast to the seats
Of car. Another is lock and seal for
freight cars. These inventions while sim
pie in construction, and not expensive to
manufacture, are just whatare needed by
railroad companies, and will no doubt be
universally adopted il properly pushed.

1t rs a Mistake

To try to cure catarrh by using local appli.
cations. Catarrh is not local but con-
stitutional disease. 1t is not a disease of
the mans nose, but of the man. There.
fore, to effect cure, requires constitu-
tional remedy like Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which, acting through the blood, reaches
every part of the system, expeling the
taint which causes the disease, and impart-
ing health.

American Cut GLASS.

"Do you know that the finest cut glass
in the world is manufactured in THE
country" remarked member of the firm
OF Bailey, Banks & Biddle. of Philadelphia.
He then explained that within recent years
the art of cutting glass had so far develop
cd in America that it is far ahead of the
European work and consequently but very
little foreign cut glass is imported. The
American work is superior in finish to the
foreign article and in design is frequently
more original, for it must be admitted that
there is an art movement now progressing
in the United States that had its birth in
the Centennial Exposition of 1875.

''Neil Agrah," one of the best Irish
dramas, opened here last night to standing
room only, every seat being sold before
quarter to eight O'Clock. Mr.. Scanlan is a
young but nevertheless very talented COM
edian, and played the title role with nat
ural excellence that was received with tu-
multuous applause by the overcrowded
house. His songs were repeatedly encored
and Mr.. Scanan's singing showed him to

comment on The play is rich in

Pensions! Veterans !
The Disability Pension Bill.

Act of June 81, 1890, grants pensions to
all ex-soldiers and sailors who served 80
days or more in the Army or Navy during
the rebellion, and were honorably discharg-
ed, and who are now suffering from any
permanent mental or physical disability
contracted since the war or during the war
whether from disease, injuries or effects OF
old age, at the rate Of from $6 to $l2 per
month, according to the degree of his dis
ability for the performance of labor requir-
ing the exertion of physical strength
provided the disability is not due to yici-
Gus habits. This pension is not restricted
to the veterans who have to make their
living by hard labor, but is equally due to
professional men or clerks, provided they
have an existing disability which would
prevent the continuous exercise of the
physical strength of an able-bodied man.
Those who have applied under the gen.
eral laws and who are unable to prove up
the pending claim can apply for aud Sc
cure this pension and then continue the
prosecution Of the former claim and secure
their arrears.
III YOU are now drawing small pension,
say 30 or $4 per month, you can take this
pension instead, and if you have an appli-
cation on file for increase or additional
pension for new disabilities you can con.
