was particularly interested in ready for transmission
to Albany The bills already prepared and ready
for the action of yesterdays meeting he announced
were the Power of Removal and the Public Herring
bills.
Charles Stewart Smith spoke briefly on the bills
and said that PROBABLY one would object to rat
ify the work Of the subcommittee on legislation.
as the measures had been prepared with great care
by men Of acknowledged ability. The sub-commit-
tee he said had power to prepare these bills with
out referring them back to the full committee for
Endorsement. but the subcommittee preferred TO
have their work approved by the full committee.

The Wash Tub versus High Art.

Reading papers report an exciting
and enjoyable tub race in which six
more or less good looking girls took
part and We'd with each other for
prizes. The first prize being a gold
bracelet, the second a basket of
flowers, and the third a fan, they were
the ostensible inducements to the
participants. But to ask this same
sextet to locate their tubs on the
banks of the beautiful stream in
which they struggled before the adj
miring gaze of sportive throng, and
there see who could first finish dirty
wash and string 'em on an old-fash-
ioned clothes-line, would likely be
asking too much, and it would no
doubt be far less attractive to the CAV
ladies and their sportive throng Of
admirers, but at the same time that
would be the most admirable ac-
complishment and go farther toward
winning the best prize lady can
win, namely, Il strong armed husband
who is willing to carry washwater,
build wash-fre, empty wash-tubs, and,
in fact, do everything but wash for
her own dear self, his lowing wife.

A Nuisance.

A fellow who was canvassing Sun
bury Friday as purchaser Of old gold,
is one of the many nuisances with
which householders are inflicted. OF
course the average house has no old
gold to sell, but in such cases the can
vasser has. To a lady on Walnut
street he showed pair Of spectacles
which he said were sold to him in
Danville, and it was pity to break
them up as they were as good as new {;
what would the lady give for them ?
"Fifty cents she said bluhingly.
This was a starter. He would take
$2.5o, then gradually came down to
81, and at last said "take them for
your 50 cents" This made the lady
suspicious and she backed out, when
the blackguard showered abuse upon
her. He no doubt makes specially
of this spectacle racket, having stock
Of cheap ones on land which he palms
off for gold.
Another nuisance is the fellow who
incltes children to gather old postage
stamps There are old stamps that
have value on account Of their rarity,
for some of which high price is paid,
and this has led some sharpers to en-
gage in the sale of "price lists of rare
stamps" out of which they doubtless
make more or less money. One Of
these was also about recently dis.
tributing circulars which were baited
quite alluringly and then closed by
saying that a price list could be
secured by sending 4 cents in stamps
to him by mail. There is big profit
in this apparently "peanut" transac-
ton.
1t pays to be on the alert for such
rascals these days. In fact we need
but few things which we cannot buy
from responsible dealers, or those
with whom we are acquainted. Be
sides we owe something to the bust
ness interests of the community in
which we live.

Millions Big Fair,

The eleventh annual meeting of the
Milton Driving Park and Fair Asso-
citation will occur on the 3rd, 4th, 5th
and 9th Of September, and it will be
the biggest and best meeting the So
ciety has ever held. The premiums
and purses are more liberal than those
of any other fair in the central part of
the state. Extensive improvements
have been made in the buildings and
grounds and fine exhibit in all de-
partments of the fair is promised.
There is every promise of large field
of horses for the races. The society
has just signed contract with FEM
& Co., the famous booking agents, for
exhibitions daily by the great Arab
Troupe, Bark Ben Achmet-compos
ed of three men and three ladies. The
feats of this troupe are marvellous and
they will give exhibitions each day of
the fair. The railroads will all run
specials and sell excursion tickets.

The Protective Mantle Over the Word Of
God at Last.

If we have read history Alright then
the Word of God was once monopo-
lized by a crafty priesthood from
whom it was eventually wrested for
universal Interpretation and the COM
mon good and blessing. No doubt
the battles for civil and religious liber-
ty were among the very fercest fought
by our heroic forefathers. The war;
fare in behalf of religious liberty and
free and open Bible through Gods
mercy and justice terminated eventu-
ally in f1vor of the masses and against
the monopolistic classes. But, strange
to relate, we seem to have reached
the time when the protective and
monopolistic mantle is again thrown
over the Word of God. Thus history
repeats itself. as it possible" dc
you say?" We reiterate 1t is, my dear
sir. The free trade Bible, that is the
free to-all, the open, and unmonopo

The Bloomsbury Wheelmens' Race Meet
Next Saturday.

Bloomsburg does nothing by halves,
Bloomsburg wheelmen are tarred with
the same stick. When the subject
of bicycle race meet was broached
some wondered if the wheelmen were
not ''biting off more than they could
chew" We are happy to say, how
ever, that such was not the case, as
to-day everything is in splendid shape
for the meet; and, if it is a clear day,
the grounds will be packed. The
secretary has received the entry of
every first-class racing man in this
part of the country, among whom we
mention Krick, Corser, Miner, Diff
enderfer, Gstalder, Gardner, Coleman
and some 40 others. The entries are
SO large that the ] mile open and the
I mile open will have to be run in
heats. This will insure lots of excit-
ing finishes and hair raising spurts.
Sid Black, the champion trick rider
Of the world, will be here and give
his wonderful exhibition. There is
nothing he cannot do on a wheel.
This alone will be worth the price of
admission. The whole Scranton
racing team will be here with their
tandem team to pace. This will in
sure fast time, and if the State record
of 2:II IS is not broken it will be
wonder.
Admission tickets, at IS cents, can
now be bought at most of the stores
in town, and reserved seats for the
grand stand are also on sale at States
book store.
On Friday evening a monster Ian
tern parade will be held, which will
take in nearly every street in town.
The wheels will be one blaze of light,
and the decorations unsurpassed, as
three prizes will be offered for the
best decorated wheels in line, as fol-
lows:
1st. A fine pair of statuary for the
finest mems decoration.
end. A $5 pair of ladies shoes,
given by ]. A. Hess, for the most
beautiful ladies' wheel.
sd. A woolen sweater, given by
J. M. Gliding, for the best decora-
tion on boys wheel.
The judges will be ]. C. Brown, J.
c. Rutter and ]. M. Gliding.
All wheelmen should turn out and
make it bowling success. Some OF
the business places and residences
will be decorated, and for that night
the wheelmen will own the town.
Headquarters will be established on
Saturday, and reception committee
will meet all trains and escort visiting
wheelmen to their hotel.

organism. II may be due to carelessness.
1t may be due to ignorance fostered by
mistaken parents on the plea of preserving
modesty
1t may result from improper treatment of
some minor trouble. Whatever sickness a
woman has, it seems always to affect the
organs which make her woman and these
in turn work upon all the rest. There is
much insanity among women. 1t Is really
surprising that there is not more.
The troubles peculiar to their sex work
strongly on the nerves. They drag upon
the most delicate nerves in the body and
the inflammation always present causes a
debilitating drain that will enervate the
most robust.
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has
brought comfort and health to thousands
of suffering women. For many years, DR..
Pierce has been Chief Consulting Physician
at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti.

Favorite Prescription all the time, with
uniform success. With it, there Is no

appropriated to their own exclusive
use as printers, every particle of the
Word of God that is and shall be EN-.
braced and contained in the Epworth
League topics now, henceforth and
forever. There being about IS 900
Epworth Leagues scattered over this
country, and whose printing of the
scriptural references has hitherto been
done in about 1900 different print
ing offices, the subtle object of thus
monopolizing the Word of God against
struggling country printing offices is
quite apparent to more folks than
those interested in the Methodist
Book Concern.
To the writer it seems that if these
scrlptural references can be thus mon
opolized by Cranston & Curtis, then
the Lords Prayer and the Ten Com
mandments are in imminent danger,
also, of being gobbled up by them or
by some other enterprising city printer
who is not in full sympathy with coun-
try printers. The man who says that
such protection don't protect labors
under a vain delusion.
We question the moral and legal
right of any body to thus display no
originality whatever and yet presume
to throw the exclusive protection of
the copyright law over any portion of
the Word Of God, and do it merely
for the sake OF undue advantage and
temporal gain.
