How the Day Was Celebrated.

For the first time in many years Free
land failed to observe the Fourth With
a parade. Neither wa. there any other
kind OF celebration that would attract
people to town, nevertheless the full
quote OF visitors were on the streets
during the day and evening. The picnic
of the st. Patrick's band at the Public
Park was the objective point ui many,
and the grounds at one time contained
tho largest crowd Of people tlat has yet
gathered there for any purpose. Mum
erous amusements had been provided
and the day was pleasantly spent in the
delightful grove. The boys bicycle race
from Freeland to Pond Creek and return,
a distance of over six miles, was won by
John Mcdonald, who covered the course
in 81 minutes and Is seconds Henry
IIindson, of Sandy Valley, was his OPP
ponent, but in going down Sandy Run
hill Hindson's chain broke and delayed
him nearly half an hour.
AT St. Paul's church basement several
hundred people took advantage Of the
opportunity to procure meals, which
were furnished by the Young People 5
Society.
During the evening fireworks were
set off in all parts of town. Among
those who aided in making Il noise and
giving some fine exhibitions were j. c..
Berner S. Woodrng, NJ Mcrkt, j. Il.
Laubach and ii. w. IIaworth. Centre
street, from Main to Front, was covered
with debris from the fire crackers.
There were many narrow escapes, both
from accidents and fires, but fortunately
nothing happened in Freeland to mar
the enjoyment of the day.
The only arrest made was that Of John
Lukash, of Highland, three-center,
who was accused of acting in disorderly
manner at Centre and Carbon streets.
He was giving the privilege of paying a
fine of IS or spending five days in the
lookup. He choose tho latter.
The shooting match at South Heber-
ton between Philip GuentheT, of Rush
Valley, and Henry Krousc was won by
the former, Krouse failing to shoot in his
usual good style. Guenthcr killed four
of the seven birds he shot at, while his
opponent hit only two The contest
was for s25 side. Another match may
be arranged. Krouse's friends feel conf
dent that he can win next time.

From the Wilkesbarre NewsdoUler.
Many people are of the opinion that a
person cannot keep alive unless on solid
food but this theory has been smashed
higher than kite in the case of Mrs.
Loomis, who resides on kIdder street,
at the East End. About one year ago
Mrs. Loomis became afflicted with pc
culiar malady, presumably stomach
trouble, and from that time on her
stomach has refused to retain solid food
of any kind, whatsoever. She is able
to partake of solid food, however, but
as soon as she swallows IT, the stomach
refuses to do its duty and the food is
elected, causing Mrs. LUomis severe
coughing spells.
Her physician thereupon prescribed
liquid food and that is the only nourish-
ment she has subsisted on Tor twelve
long months. She is unable TO partake
of water, as the stomach also refuses to
retain it. Her main diet has been milk
and she has thrived on 1t. OF late, how
ever, she has tired OF milk aud mild
coffee has been substitute. She is get
ting along nicely and her friends hope
she will fully recover from the aiment
She is able to be about the house and
take short walks, but at times she is COM
PEELED to lie down for a lime. IL is Il
strange case to say the least
