THEY NAY SUIT THEMSELVES
Volunteers Who Wish 1t Will
Be Mustered out.
PRESIDENT HAS so DECIDED
All Bran ches Of the Service Included in
tho Hundred Thousand I .
BE Discharged.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. The presi.
dent has announced his decision to
muster out Of the service from $4,000
70 100. 600 Of the volunteers. Those to
be discharged will include three
branches OF the service, infantry, artil-
lery and cavalry.
The question Of the mastering out of,
volunteers has been under considera.
ton for several days. It was quite
evident to begin with that a consider
able force necessarily would have to be
retained.
With only q part Of the volunteer
force to be mustered out it became a
delicate question to designate the or
CARNATIONS which should go. From a
member Of the administration it is
understood to be the desire Of the
president to ascertain the
Wishes Of tho Volunteers Themselves
to remaining in the service. One or
two organizations have already ex.
pressed . desire to leave the service as
noon as the governments can dispense
with their services. They are COM
posed largely Of business and profes.
sional men whose private business is
largely suffering from their absence.
So tits understood the president in
mastering ont the volunteers will &C.
commodate himself to the desire of the
men Themselves. Within certain OBJ.
vious lines those troops who want to be
mustered ont will be and those who de-
sire to continue in the service will be
retained as far as possible.
The regular army will not be dis.
turbed for the present, but the reduc.
ton In the volunteer force will be
made al rapidly as possible.

Board of Health Meeting.

Freeland Board OF Health met for re-
organization on Friday evening at the
residence of Charles Dusheck Hugh
Malloy was appointed president pro tenn,
after which the board proceed to the
election Of officers, as follows: Presi-
dent, Hugh Malloy; secretary, DR.. ]. II.
Cloud health officer, James j. Ward.
The health officer reported nuisances at
the properties OF Mrs. Becker, Ridge
street; Mrs. Boyle, Centre street, and
Messrs. Cunningham and Seiple, Walnut
street; also the keeping of grease in tho
cellar of a house in the alley between
Centre and Ridge streets, below South.
A formalin lamp for the fumigation of
rooms with formalin vapor has been
purchased, and the health officer will
distribute dsnfectants where necessary.
Dipththeria exists in but four fami-
lies at present and it is hoped that its
spread will 'be prevented. One chief
factor in increasing the disease is the
carelessness Of members Of families or
in their visiting ncighboring houses
where the disease exists, and the habit
will probably not be stopped until the
health officer arrests the persons so
violating the law. Those in charge of
the parochial schools at Woodsido will
be requested to allow no children to re-
turn to school after exposure from diph-
liberia or scarlet fever unless bringing u
certificate from the health officer.
The board will recommend the periodi-
cal fumigation of the borough schools,
and the flushing Of the streets with
water from the fire plugs.

A few points for your consideration
wherein we excel. What constitutes a
good school? Listen!
1. A faculty of superior instructors
OF recognized ability. This we have.
2. Good boarding. This is a recogniz-
ed feature of this school. Students are
here for work, and they must be prop
cry fed. Tho best the market affords
is none too good.
3. Home-lko treatment and comforts
These the school fully provides.
4. Healthful location. Beautiful sur
roundings. These you know we have
as thousands OF visitors to this great
resort region and its sanitariums can
testify.
Now listen! Read carefully and take
time to consider and compare. We are
the first and only normal school in the
state that furnishes its students rooms
complete. The only school to carpet
the students rooms with fine Brussels
carpet. You need not "take up your
bed and walk" when you come here.
Check your trunk to this point and come
with it. We furnish bedding and make
you comfortable.
Hark! Listen again. We were tho
first and only school to introduce plain
and fancy sewing, dressmaking and
fancy needlework, without additional
cost to pupils.

New buildings always neat and clean.

The theatre goers who failed to see

bad luck to miss performance that for
it's kind none has ever been seen in Mt.
Carmel The vaudeville parts were
very funny and every actor is a star.
The work of Miss Florence Clair was
up-to-date and is a leader in such parts
as she takes. Frank w. Berry took the
house by storm with his funny songs
and sayings and is an actor that can go
before any audience and please them.
Messrs. Hanson and Mullen, as Poodle
and McDoodle were the funniest pair
ever brought to our opera house and it
only surprises us that actors OF their
class ever get outside of the larger
cities. In fact the whole bill is made
up of frst-class people under like
management and such a combination is
bound to meet with praise wherever
they go.

READ HIS FIRST MASS.
REV. 3. J. O'DoNNELL' 'OFFICIATEp
AT ST. ANN'S CHURCH..

Impressive Ceremonies Were Conducted
Yesterday Morning by the First Young
Man of FreeIand to Attain the Cath
Ollie Priesthood.
The first Freeland young man to enter
the ranks Of the Roman Catholic priest
hood is Rev. Bernard J. O'DOnnell o. s..
A., who was ordained at Villanova on
Thursday by Papal Delegate Martinelli.
His first mass was celebrated yesterday
morning at st. AIMS church. 1t was a
solemn high mass, and in it were includ-
ed many of those impressive ceremonies
which mark the services OF this denomi-
nation. The church was crowded far
beyond its seating capacity, the entire
parish taking a special interest In the
occasion, since the central figure OF it
all was the first OF its sons who has at
tanned that elevation in religious work
to which many are bending their
efforts.
Rev. O'Donnsll, as celebrant, was as
sisted by Rev. L. A. Delurey, o. S. A.,
president OF the Augustinian college at
Villanova; Rev. Francis Mack, of ST..
AIMS church, was the deacon, and
Peter r. O'Donnell, OF Freeland, a
brother Of the cslebrant, and who also
has selected the priesthood as his voca-
tion, was the sub-deacon. In the sane
tuary were seated Rov. NJ. j. Fallihee,
pastor OF St. AIMS church, and Rev.
w. A. Coar, o. $. A., of Villanova. The
young priest performed his arduous du-
ties in manner that was dignified, yet
transformations, and at the conclusion
gave his blessing to the hundreds who
pressed forward to receive 1t. St. AIMS
choir assisted at the mass with very fine
music.
Rev. Delurey preached the sermon,
the subject matter of which pertained
to the dignity and duties of the priest
hood. 1t was, without doubt, one OF
the finest efforts ever rendered in St.
Ann's church, especially his welcome OF
Rev. ODonnell to the priesthood OF the
Order of St. Augustine.
After the services the visiting and
local priests repaired to the residence OF
Rev. ODonncll's parents, where the
yonng clergyman's relatives, friends
and acquaintances, many Of whom came
from a distance, rendered their congrat-
ulations and well wishes.
Revs. Delurey, Coar and O'Donnell re-
turned to Villanova at noon today.
Rev. Bernard j. O'Donncll, o. S. A.,
is a son of Mr.. and Mrs. Patrick O'Don-
nell, of Ridge street. He was born at
Foundryvile, Foster township, on Feb
ruary IL, 1874. His parents removed to
Drifton when he was quite young, and
his early education was consequently re-
ceived at the Sisters OF Mercy schools
connected with st. AIMS church. On
September IL, 1891, he entered ST.
Thomas college, Villanova, conducted
by the Order OF st. Augustine, and after
four years study he was admitted to that
organization. by dligent work he ad-
vanced rapidly in the numerous branches
Of education required to be mastered by
students for the priesthood, and on
Thursday last, September 90, 1898, his
laudable ambition was satisfied, he then
receiving holy orders from the hands of
Archbishop Martinelli. For the present
he will remain in the college at Villanoya.
