Elected President of a College.

DR.. ]. P Welsh, Principal of the
Normal School,, has received an in
vitaton from the founders of college
for women in this state, to become its
President, at a salary considerably
larger than he has been receiving here.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton Of the Board of Trustees, and at
a meeting held on Tuesday, January
3, a resolution was unanimously pass
ed, offering DR.. Welsh a substantial
increase IN salary, if he will remain
here. He has not yet decided finally
what he will do, but 1t is hoped by the
trustees and friends of the school that
he will remain here. He is the right
man in the right place, end the school
has made wonderful progress under
his management. On Monday morn
ing the faculty and students of the
school presented long petition sign
ed by every teacher and boarding
pupil, asking the DR.. to remain. What
effect such pressure will have upon
him we do not know, but we trust that
his decision will be to remain at the
Normal.
Since the above was in type we
learn that DR.. Welsh has decided to
continue in his present position.

ing. Arthur Werkheiser and their

arrived. An excellent supper was
partaken of, They returned home at
seasonable hour. They are all loud
in their praise of their employer, for
giving them the opportunity to spend
such an enjoyable time, and also to
Baltis Sterling and family for their
part in the event.

A large and happy crowd of people
from Greenwood, consisting of two
tour-horse sled loads, invaded Blooms

Kerosene as a Beverage.

News from France Of the increasing
popularity OF kerosene as a beverage
suggests the possibility of agitatng
differences between the Standard Oil
Company and the Womans Christian
Temperance Union. The new habit
has made more progress in Paris than
elsewhere, and is under observation
there by the guardians of the PUBLIC
health. The behOAques seem to be.
gin their evil courses not because
they are out of humor with alcohol,
but because kerosene is the only stim-
ulant they can get. 1t produces an
intoxication which, though low spirit
ed affair, has its attractions for the
experimenters. How unwholesome
kerosene is in its effects, and whether
it is worse than alcohol, has not yet
been fully determined. Meanwhile
alcohol is in no present danger of be-
ing crowded out of France. The num-
Der of shops has increased twenty
five per cent. in twenty four years,
and in the larger cities the consump-
ton of wine varies from forty to sixty
gallons a head, besides more or less
spirits and beer. Thirst like that
must either be restrained or rated by
home products. There is no prospect
that any considerable part of it will
ever be allayed by kerosene.-E. S.
Martin, in Harper's WeekLy.

Mr.. WALKER APPOINTED STENOG-
RAPHER.

The following order was made by
Judge Little last Saturday:
In re application of Newton Walker to be
appointed as official Stenographer of the
several Courts in Columbia and Montour
counties. Now, January 7, 1899, upon the
application of Newton Walker, hereto at
tached, he is hereby appointed as the official
Stenographer of the several Courts of the
26th Judicial District, and it is further or
dered that the Prothonotary make a certified
copy OF the application and appointment and
this order, and forthwith transmit the same
to the Prothonotary of Montour county, to
be flee of record in that office
ROBERT Il. LITTLE, p. l.,
Goth Judicial District
This action of the Court will be
heartily commended by many men,
bers of the Bar, and by large num-
Der of the people generally. Mr..
Walker is a thoroughly competent
stenographer, and filled the position
for many years very satisfactorily. He
is not a politician, and was first APP
pointed because of his merits in his
profession.
Mr.. J. ID. Howery, of Danville,
the retiring stenographer, was an
obliging and competent official, but
being a young and active man, he
can find another position much easier
than Mr.. Walker could.

Aged Woman Sold.
elmira Quick, a Widow, Put up at Auction in
Pike County.
This concl,
Gil adjourned

The custom ofselllng the poor, DOM
mates in some counties of this state.
The following account of the sale of
an aged lady comes from Lackawaxen
township, Pike County: "Mrs Elmira
Quick, a widow 7S years old, has been
sold at auction to the highest bidder
by the overseers of the poor. Strange
to say, Mrs. Quick was her own purch-
aser.
The woman, who has resided nearly
the whole of her life in Lackawaxen
township has long been town charge,
and year after year was sold "for her
keep" The successful bidder, in ad.
dltlon to receiving small allowance
each week for the maintenance of the
woman, managed to secure much
work about the house at the hands of
the unfortunate woman.
Mrs Quick became tired of such
treatment, and her mind has long been
at work to devise some scheme where
by she might thwart the poormasters
and bidders, and on the day of the sale
she sat silently by while the bidding
was being conducted.
One dollar and fifty cents was bid,
and the auctloneer was about to close
the sale when Mrs. Quick jumped to
her feet and exclaimed:
"Five dollars per month"; can
maintain myself on that amount"
In vain the auctioneers tried to
secure another bid, but finally were
compelled to sell the woman to her
self"
