SPECIAL SERVICES.

Anniversaries to be COMMUNICATED in
Two of the Churches Tomorrow.
The centennial celebration Of the Reformed
church in the United States will be observed
tomorrow in all the congregations of that
historical church. The celebration is in
commemoration of the Reformed church in
the United States declaring in 1898 indepen-
dence and separation from the synod of the
church in the mother country. Rev. Robert
OBoyle will have special services in German
in the morning and in the evening, in addi-
tion to the special sermon in English, the
Schoppe orchestra will render sacred music
appropriate to the occasion. AS it is expected
the capacity of the church will be taxed, it
is suggested that there be an early attend
ance.
Tomorrow evening the members of Wash
ington Camp, No. 1s3, P. o. s. of A., will
attend the English Lutheran church on
North Jardiu street in body to listen to a
sermon by Rev. M. II. Havice on the 1O4th
anniversary of Washingtons Inauguration as
President of the United States

Yesterday the water route to the Worlds
Fair was touched upon and the reader was
left at Cleveland. The tourist can leave
Cleveland at 10 p. m. daily, arriving in De-
troit River in time to enjoy the glorious sun
rise while passing up that beautiful stream.
Upon arrival at Detroit you may be anxious
to reach the Worlds Fair as soon as possible.
If so, you will find fast trains for Chicago at
almost any hour of the day. However, for
the full enjoyment of the invigorating water
ride so that you will arrive in Chicago re-
freshed and in trim for Sightseeing, your
trip should be continued through the ST.

Mackinac, from which beautiful resort close
connections can be made with the best lines

and Iron Company that operations at the
Shenandoah City and West Shenandoah col
lieries will be suspended indefinitely to-
night.
The officials here know nothing more than
that the order has been issued and cannot say
how long it will remain in force, although
some of them express the belief that the sus
pension will continue only few days.
Brief as the suspension may be it is a hard
blow to the miners employed at the collieries,
as they have been working on a poor schedule
and few, if any, have had an opportunity to
lay aside any of their earnings for rainy
day.
The suspensions come with additional
force in that many of the miners who were
thrown idle by the suspension of Indian
Ridge colliery depended for employment
upon the two colleries to suspend tonight.
Shenandoah City colliery employs upwards
of $50 men and boys, inside and outside
West Shenandoah upwards of 45o, and In.
dian Ridge upwards of $50, so by the sus.
pension of the three collieries over 1900
men and boys are thrown out of employ
ment, which in town like Shenandoah, de
pendent entirely upon the coal industry, il
bound to result in great loss to the com
munity.
1t is reported to-day that operations viii
be resumed at Indian Ridge colliery in tn,
near future, but there is nothing official t.

Maple Hill will also suspend tonight ant
it is said Gilberton colliery will do likewise

"O'Dowd's Neighbors' is in its third sea-
son now. There is good reason for its
popularity, for the piece is distinctly above
the ordinary run of farce comedies
"O'Dowd's Neighbors" is an Irish Operatic
Comedy" This just about fits. The intro
duction of much operatic music makes a
pleasant artistic performance, and these
operatic bits seem to please just as well as
the topical songs, of which there are plenty.
Indeed, everything O'DOwd and his daughters
do seems to suit the audiences. Mark
Murphy's jerky, pugnacious way, his nimble-
ness of leg and the elasticity of his grotesque
Irish face are always comical He is ably
abetted in his efforts by company of almost
entirely new people, The singing Of Miss
Taylor, who appeared as Belinde, was the
musical treat of the evening. Miss Taylor
has superb voice and knows how to use it.
She is free from those annoying affectations
which are possessed by so many singers, and
when she sings her hearers can understand
what she says The Tyrolean duet, by Miss
Taylor and Mr.. Holcombe, was very pleasing.
They will hold forth at the Palace theatre,
Girardville, tonight at usual prices.

''Bllly" sweeney Becomes Deputy Sheriff
In Montana.
1t will surprise many who were acquainted
with William J, Sweeney, familiarity called

Watson House in this town, to hear that he
is now under sheriff of Granite county,
Montana, with headquarters at Philipsburg.

Mr.. Reilly, the architect from Pottsville,
was present and presented his plans for the

preferred awaiting the decision of the board
on the question of heating and ventilation
before making definite report This led the
chairman to call upon two representatives for
the Smead and Fuller g. Warren systems of
ventilation and heat.
Finally both agents withdrew and upon
opening the bids it was found that both
offered to give the board 'the best thing on
earth" for $1,000. After some discussion the
Smead system was adopted by vote of
to 2.

in accordance with the suggestions Of

Rapid Growth Of Trees.

1t has often been said, that as soon
as you can excite personal interest
in the planting Of trees. the forestry
question will settle itself. One of
the mistakes too frequently made is,
however, the encourage ment of the
idea that it takes centuries to get
trees large enough for timber pur-
poses II properly planted aud prop
erly cared for, as they ought to be in
well ordered forest plantation.
growth is extremely rapid, and good
timber trees could be obtained within
a quarter OF a century. Near where

carpum. not fifteen years since it
was Il seed. which is four feet six
inches in circumference; and an

which is five feet in circumference.

DeHnOraIiZlny Practice.

Permitting large and prOmiscuous
oyerdrafts in the banking business is
a DerniciOus practice and detrimental
to the best interests of banking in
general Those banks which require
notes and securities for every dollar
loaned need have little fear in times
of stringency. Unsecured Overdrafts
are one of the ugly phases of the Pa
clfic Banks report of assets, and ia
glance at the list covering large
amounts, is enough to convince
conservative business men of the
rottenness OF the concerns way of do
ing business.
For merchants to extend a line of
lndiscriminate credit on book ac-
counts is also a practice which should
receive the same corrective attention
which the San Francisco Clearing
House has already given to the draft
nuisance. The difficulty with an
open account is that no fixed time is
evident on its face at which it shall
be closed, and room is thus left for
frequent disputes, disagreements and
lltlgatlOnS. We observe a quite gem
eral movement in some parts of the
country to adjust the credit system
TO some approach to equity and bust
ness-like regulation. II buyers of
goods cannot pay cash they ought not
to object to giving notes or paper
which the jobber or other merchant
may use at bank in case or need. En-
perience in the business world has
long since shown that the man who
Is required to meet his obligations
promptly, can do so often with less
discomfort than when he is allowed
much more latitude. A habit of
prompt pay begets confidence. and
extensions may often be obtained by
such man where others unused to
the business-like ways Of banks need
ask no favorS with any hope Of re-
ceiying them. PAY as you 20 or
don't go' is very good maxim to OBJ
Serve. But credit appears as yet u

The Omnipresent Peanut.

From gold to peanuts, California
must be reckoned upon in all mark
cts and for every conceivable com.
modify. The Minneapolis CONNER.
clal Bulletin recognizes the situation
and says:
lone serious matter that must be
considered in connection with the
peanut crop this year is the advent
OF California growers into this
market to greater extent than ever
before. For several years peanut
growing in California has been in an
experimental state and there has
been considerable ignorance displayed
by the average fruit raiser as to the
possibilities of this crop The ques-
tion is now beyond the experimental
stage, however, and later reports go
to show that this article can be
raised cheaper and with considerably
less labor than many that are now
considered very profitable by Cali
fornia growers. The result has been
a general increase in the acreage. and
the probability is that besides furnish
ing enough peanuts for home con-
sumption, California will put some on
the Eastern market this year,
