AUSTRALIAN BANKS.
A Five Days Holiday to Give The m
Chance to Recuperate.

The unaasiness caused by the many fail
ures of Australian banks continues, and the
suspension of the National Bank of Austral-
asia, the last of the financial institutions to
60 under, has added greatly to the excite
ment in banking and commercial circles.
The Colonial Government has issued a proc
lamation ordering a five days bank holiday
with the object ofallowing time for the banks
still doing business TO adopt measures Of self
protection.
Several banks that were not consulted as to
the advisabiIity of closing their doors for
short time paid no attention to the proclaim

nearly every case where Australian banks

trouble has been attributed to the withdrawal

Shadows Sold at a Good Price.

The entertainment and ''shadow
social" in the G. A. r. hall Thursday
evening WAS pleasant and profitable
affair. The entertainment consisted of
songs, recitations and select reading
and was enjoyed not only because it was
free, but on account of its merit. Only
sixteen ladies had prepared baskets,
therefore there were just that number
of shadows sold at good price. More
could have been sold without trouble.
Some shadows sold for more than
others. The sixteen tumbled into the

comrades and the comradesses, especial

less indulgences unless the lunch at
late hour will superinduce nightmare

THE MEMORIAL HOME.
The Management is Alright A Flaw IN
the Title.

About the first Sunday of last Febru-

the Williamsport Grh condemned the
management OF the Memorial Home at
Brookville. A committee of the
Womans Relief Corps, Depart
ment Of Pennsylvania was elected at
convention held at Lebanon in Febru-
AIRY, soon after the Grit's attack on the
management Of the Home, for tho pur-
pose of inquiring into the charges made
and also into the title TO the Memorial
Home. The committee consisted of
five ladies', Mrs. Anna Wilbur, Of War
ren; Mrs. Mary A. Wallace, Of Pitts
burg: Mrs. Martha Sherman, Of Brad
ford; Mrs. Sarah j. Messmor, Of
Remove. and Mrs. N. G. Pinncy. Of
Brookville. The committee met ut
BrOokville last Wednesday From an
interview with Mrs. Sarah J. Messimer,
Of Remove, we learned that there is
flaw in the title to the Home, the facts
Of which are not yet ready for publica-
tion. In regard to the management OF
the Home, the committee found 1t per-
fectly satisfactory and all that could be
expected. The GrH correspondent was
snubbed little for some Of the freedom
he tried to take at the Home and TO get
even he condemned the management Of
the institution.
There are now fifty-two children at
the Home and twenty old people, max
ing family of seventy-two. The tables
are well supplied with food, and when
visitors go there they get the same bill
of fare served to the inmates. The
children have IL pretty lawn to play on
and all look hearty and are apparently
happy.

the hitherto ballists of our town have
