Race Meet at Berwick.

The annual Race-Meet of the Ber.
wick Wheelman, will be held this year
on June 24th, at the Berwick Fair

Race meets at Berwick were always
noted for their elegance and value of
their prizes. This year is nc, exception

exceed anything heretofore offered;
every prize being diamond. A spec
ial feature will be trials for the track
record, paced by the Berwick Quad

all in all, it promises to be the mos
intesting meet yet held at Berwick.
All communications should be ad
dressed to Edward Schenke, Sec'y

DISTRICTS.

Children's day at Zion church, Forks
did not 60 off SO well as anticipated.
One would think, according to the
amount of preparation, there would be
a grand time, but 100 many cooks
spoil the broth" Some teachers
aught to be taught. There were too
many bosses, whose orders among the
children upon the occasion came in
direct conflict and rendered confusion
among the children.
There was fine time at Asbury
and Jamestown. The churches were
nicely decorated with the blooms of
the garden and the hills, the declama-
tions and music were good and every
thing passed off harmonlously. Rev.

If christianity consists in church
members gossiping about each other,
Heaven will be full of gossiping chris

besieged by the tongue of gossip.
Dissensions in churches are getting as
common as bar room fights or political
wrangles, and no family escapes the
tongue of defamation. Those who
gossip are supposed to be faultless.
They are in their own estimation; but
their nelghbors never found it out,

The Late Mrs. Rachel M. Calender.

Rachel VI. Calender was the young
est daughter of Henry and Margaret
Fritz. She was born April IS, 1880,
and departed this life June 3, 1899.
She was married to Stephen E. Cal
lender, December a3, 1858, with
whom she walked down life's path in
peace and happiness until decease,
January 81, 1899. She is survived
by eight children-Delphene Gear
hart, of Register Sadie Gearhart and
Josie Laubach, of C'arksview Clark,
of Carverton Asa, OF Bloomsburg I;
Bruce and Claude, of Clarksview, and
George, of Bloomsburg.
She has been an excellent mother
and her mind was wrapped up in the
welfare of her children, for whom she
labored and prayed During the past
fourteen years she had been feeble in
body, yet she prayed to be spared un.
til all her children became Christians,
and having seen the desire of her
heart for some time past, she has been
patiently waiting the summons of the
master.
She lived a Christian lite ever since
she was young girl. The Word Of
God was her daily occupation. She
walked and talked with Jesus, and
shortly after the midnight watches,
while she was weary in body, God
took her to Himself. Her children
rise up and call her blessed. They
realize that they have had the riches
and best heritage that ever fall to the
lot of children-a pure, kind, noble
lovely, prayerful and Christian-likt
mother. The Master has no doub
said to her: "Well done, thou goot
and faithful servant, enter thou'int,
the JOY of the Lord."-Reco,a 0

GRANTED BY THE POPE.
with the Opening of the
Year 1900.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL. - MonsignoI
Martinelli received from Rome docu.
ment in which the pope granted to the
Catholics of the world an unusual privi-
lege in connection with the celebration
of the year 1900. 1t concluded as fol.
lows:
Therefore, in order that the year
1900, which is about TO begin, and which
it is to be deyoutiy hoped will usher in
far more happy century, may by the
aid OF God and His only begotten Son,
our Saviour, have an auspicious open
ing and may close after a prosperous
course, his holiness, Pope Leo XIII,
graciously grants that OH Dec. 81, both
of the year which is now ending and of
the year about to begin, at midnight, in
church and chapels in which the most
holy eucharist is kept, according to the
prudent Judgment of the ordinary, the
most august sacrament may be exposed
for alteration; and he grants also the
permission TO say or to sing, in the
presence Of the eucharist thus exposed,
and at that hour, one only mass of the
feast of the circumcision and the octave
Of Christmas. Moreover, he grants TO
the faithful the special privilege of re.
celving holy communion at the same
time, either during or outside the cele.
bration of the mass"

A Kings Bones Missing.

The tomb of Lunalilo, the Barefoot
King of Hawaii" was recently opened,
and it was found that the remains had
been removed and that the metal casket
contained only portions of the grave
clothes. As the tomb is in the church
yard of Kawaiahou church, the oldest
native church in the islands and situated
almost in the center Of Honolulu, the dis
covery of the removal Of the body Of the
famous king created no small sensation
No one could say when the act Of vandal-
ism was committed. Lunalilo was elect
ed king in 1873, but 13 months afterward
died of consumption. Although he pos
sessed a large fortune, he insisted on go
ing about the streets barefooted at all
times. BY his will, which was not open
ed until 1881, he left his entire fortune to
found home for aged Hawaiians, which
stands today monument to his gencrosi-
ty.-San Francisco Argonaut.

CHARITY IN HOLLAND.
How to Aid the Poor without Pau
perlzinG Them.

The difficult problem of assisting the
poor without pauperizing them seems to
have been successfully met by the Dutch.
A model in miniature exists Of COM
munity where those who have lost their
hold on prosperity are restored at least
semblance of self support, family ties are
preserved, education is afforded the young,
and, in short, the utmost possible is made
Of the most unpromising material.
The poor colonies Of Holland, four in
number, arc not, as might be supposed,
government institution, though at one
time cooperation with the government
was attempted which resulted quite in
juriously to the undertaking. These col
onies owe their origin entirely to Society
of Benefcence e Maatschappy van Veida-
digheld') organized in 1918 to meet the
exigencies of destitution entailed on Hol-
land in common with the rest of Europe
by the wars of the Napoleonic era.
The necessitous individual forced 90 en-
ter on life as n beneficiary of the society is
provided with "A home for himself and his
family; also with the immediate necessi-
ties Of living and, above all, with work,
from the proceeds of which he begins to
repay in small weekly installments the
advances made to him. Wages such as are
current at the time in the neighborhood
arc paid weekly, and there is deducted
from them as an installment ON the debt
house rent not exceeding 20 cents, cent
infirmary fee for each inmate of the home,
cents for u clothing fund and sum
amounting to 10 per cent Of the gross
earnings for reserve fund against family
emergencies. A valuable contribution to
each household is the eve sheep provided
by the colony and also to be paid for by
due economy. Its milk, equal to goat s
milk in quality, supplies food, and its
wool is woven into garments.
The family, it will be observed, is al
ways maintained in its entirety, the i'm
portance of the family life being, as is
known, ever highly esteemed in Holland,
while the large infusion of jewish blood
into the Dutch is believed to have also a
strong and favorable influence upon the
system.-North American Review.
