Concerning Barber Shops.

The following article is going
the rounds of the newspapers OF the
state:
The law recently enacted at Har-
risburg regulating Barber shops
will work an innovation in the shops
all over the state. Under the law it
will be necessary to subject the
shaving brush to steam bath every
time it is used, while the razor used
upon customer must be dipped
into all antiseptic solution before
being applied to another mans face.
Individual cups must be used, as
no two persons are to be shaved
with lather from the same cup,
while fresh soap must be used with
each customer. A fresh towel will
also be provided for each person
shaved. Combs, brushes and Other
implements must be steamed, thor
oughly cleansed and the shops mus
at all times be clean and tidy. Ii
order to secure the enforcement q
this law three inspectors are to bt
appointed, and it will be their duty
to canvass their districts just as ii.
done by the factory inspectors.
There is some mistake about this
No copy of such an act has beer
filed in the Prothonotary's Office a,
required by law, and we are inform
ed by Representative Chrisma,
that such an act was introduced il
the Legislature, but did not pass.

Gard of Thanks.

Col. Ent Post GA r. wishes to pub
llcly express their thanks to all who in
any way assisted in making the servi-
ces of Memorial Day success and
especially we wish to express our ap-
probation of the attendance of the
good people of Bloomsburg at the
Memorial services and Campfire in
the evening.
And while making this acknowledge
ment. with grateful hearts to our fell
low citizens, we wish in all earnestness
to protest in the name of our dead
and living comrades agains: any and
all forms of amusements, ball playing
or dancing on Our Holy Day.
Underneath the sod.of our Gene
tries lie the mouldering ashes of our
comrades who when our country call
ed for men, babe adieu to home and
loved ones and for four long years
made their breasts living bulwark
between those who would destroy our
government and our northern homes
We are asking but little when we ask
that this day be kept holy and sacred
to the memory of the men who saved
our country in its hour OF peril.

A GARD TO TIE PUBLIC.

The story being circulated by my
opponents and some of their friends
that I, as one of the school direct
ors for the Town of Bloomsbury,
seconded the motion to change the
salary Of the County Superintend-
eut from $ro75 to $500 at the late
convention of directors, is false in
every particular. I did not second
the motion, but on the other hand,
voted against it. This is the truth
of the matter, and those that sat
near me will bear me out in it. It
shows to what extremes my enc
mics will go to wrong me.

The Out in the School Appropriation.

Governor Stones action in cut
ting down the school appropriation
of Pennsylvania has caused many
bitter denunciations of his course
as we'll as Of the Legislature, which
refused to provide the proper
amount of revenue for the appro-
priation bills they passed. The
Senate refused to pass the House
bill to tax beer, which would have
saved the cutting down of the
school appropriation. The brewers
held too strong a hand. The cut
in the school appropriation will
make the following differences i'll

Sudden Death of Frank Thompson.

Frank Thompson, President of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, died at his home in Marion
at 7:2o Monday evening, after a
short illness. The cause of death
was heart failure. He had beeu in
i'll health for some time, but at no
stage of his sickness was his
condition considered critical.
On Monday a sudden change
was noticed and his physicians
were at once summoned, but de-
spite their efforts to resuscitate
the patient, he lapsed into uncon-
sciousness and passed peacefully
away.
Mr.. Thompson was born in
Chambersburg, this state, July 5th.
IS4I, of Scotch ancestry, his grand
father having sailed from Scotland
and settled in the Cumberland
Valley in I77I. He was educated at
the Chambersburg Academy, and
at the age of II entered the Altoona
shops of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
from where he graduated as me-
chanical engineer four years later.
From this time on promotions came
rapidly from one position to anoth-
er, until October 1882, when he was
made first vice president OF the road.
Mr.. Thompson, by reason of his
vast experience and great ability
took hold of that part OF the
business entrusted to his care
in a most mastery manner and
at the death of George B. Roberts
in February 1897 he was advanced
to the presidency. He reduced
railroad management to science
and was considered by all, to be
one of the ablest of American rail.
road managers.
His duties occupied his time tc
such an extent that he was never
identified with much else. He was
however director of the Equitable
Life Insurance Company of Phila
delphia. There are few men who
can show record better than tha
of Frank Thompson, and his won
derful capacity for work and organ
ization which he displayed during
his brief term as president, will
make it extremely difficult for hi
successor to maintain the higl
standard which he developed ant
maintained.

fore packed house full OF old and new
friends. at the Grand last night when
he opened his farewell engagement in
Butte in his great and original creation
OF Mephisto in Faust" He never played
the character better and the immortal
play was magnificenty staged. His sup
port in several instances was rather poors
An exception was Miss Mabel Morrison
who played the part of Marguerite fault
lessly. She is beautiful and capable
Faust was badly done and Valentine only
aeceptably. Mr.. Morrison was called be-
fore the curtain and made neat little
talk. He said he had played the devil
for 16 years and was now giving a fare
well performance in every city of America
and next season would appear in a big
production of a new play. Frederick the
Great Mr.. Morrison said he had many
imitators in his production of Faust but
he called them thieves, a sentiment that
was heartily applauded by those in the
the audience VINO remembered the horrible
performances given in this city by some
of the imitators Mr.. Morrison spoke Of
Mr.. Morrison will give four more per-
formances in Butte, including a Saturday
matinee.

A STRANGE STORY,
Willie r.. Smith Arrested by the Police
for IncOrrigtb.lity


Willie Smith, a boy about IA years
old, who WAS arrested last evening for
incorrigibility, at the request of his
mother. told the police a story of quite
remarkable treatment, If he told the
truth. He said his mother separated
from his father some years ago, and
later married r. L. Hogarth For
some reason which he did not exactly
understand, the mother had deed re-
corded placing a piece of residence
property in his name. Yesterday there
was trouble in the family over the boy
asking for suit of clothes and being
told by the stepfather to get out and
rustic them At this the boy said
ne threatened to leave and go to his
father in Idaho and deed him the prop
erty. He said his mother then de-
manded that he deed the property
back to her. and upon his refusal she
sent for an officer and had him arrest
ed for incorrigibility. The police do
not place much credence in the BOYS
story.
