Dwelling House Destroyed.

Fires are at no time welcome visi-
tors in any town or community, but
that which fell heavily on Nathan b.
Fowler, because of no insurance, oc-
cured about seven.thirty Friday even
ing. The fire was first discovered i'll
the rear portion of the house, and was
eating through the door, the flames
shooting up to the timber supporting
the roof An alarm brought prompt
response from the fire department.
The fleet footed Winonas were first
to reach the scene, quickly followed
by the reliable and always to be de-
pended upon Friendships. The de-
vourlng element had gained consider
able headway, that in spite of hard
and heroic work about all that could
be done was to confine it to the DOOM
ed building. In less than an hour,
what was humble, but happy home
was heap OF dlsmembered and
charred timbers. The house was oc-
cupied by William Reice. He and
his family had started out early in the
morning on visit and knew nothing
of what had occurred until they re-
turned and found themselves homeless.
The household goods were entirely
burned up, but the insurance is said
to be sufficient to cover the loss.

Read Your Home Paper.

The local paper should be found in
every home. No children should grow
up ignorant who can be taught to ap-
preclate the home paper. 1t is said
to be the stepping stone of intelligence
in all those matters not to be learned
in books. Give your children foreign
paper which contains not one word
about any person, place or thing,
which they ever saw or perhaps ever
heard of, and how could you expect
them to be interested But let them
have the home paper and read of
people whom they meet and of places
with which they are familiar and soon
an interest is awakened which in.
creases with every arrival Of the local
paper Thus a habit of reading is
formed and those children will read
the papers all their lives and become
intelligent men and women, credit
to their ancestors, strong in the knowl-
edge of the world as it is to-day.

St. Paul's Church.

Through the liberalty of Dr..
And-ew Graydon. a new rail and
Screen has been placed at the front of
the chancel in St. Paups Church. 1t
is of hard wood, handsomely carved,
and at the steps on either side is a
post surmounted by a cross. 1t is
about four feet high from the floor,
and two feet above the chancel floor.
II is great addition to the appear
ance of the chancel, and DR.. Graydon's
generosity is highly appreciated by
the congregation.
Another great Improvement that
has recently been made is the cutting
OF door from the sacristy to the
body oil the church, which was done
at the expense of Mr.. Paul +. Writ.
1t is highly ornamental and will prove
very convenient on Communion Sun
days, as it provides a means of egress
from the chancel that will avoid the
crowding that has often occurred by
two streams of people meeting, one
going to and the other coming from
the chancel.
1t is expected that there will be
placed in position this week a bronze
eagle lecturn, the gift of Mrs. w. P.
Melgs, as memorial to her mother
Mrs. +. p. Drlnker.
Still another improvement that is
contemplated is the re.decoration of
the walls of the chancel, a liberal
parishioner having offered to defray
the expense thereof.

10 the Citizens of Bloomsbury.

The winter is coming upon us, with
all its attendant wants. There are
many poor families among us that
must have help, or suffer during the
coming season.
Heretofore Mrs. M. G. Walker has
had the care and distribution of the
fund given on Thanksgiving Day for
the relief of the worthy poor, and
nobly and faithfully has she done the
work, because her heart was in it.
But now, because of failing health,
she has asked to be relieved from the
active work, and by her advice the
society, of which she has long been
the chief representative, has been
thoroughly re organized, with the fol-
lowing officers at its head;
Presldent-Mrs. VIM. Snyder.
Vice Presidents - Episcopalian,
Mrs. Kirkby; Methodist, Mrs. Fry
singer; Baptist, Mrs. Smith; Lutheran,
Mrs. McLlnn; Presbyterian, Mrs.
Hemingway; Evangelical, Mrs. Bentz;
Reformed, Mrs. Thomas; Christian
Scientists, Mrs. DR.. Willis: Jewish,
Miss Esther Cohen; Catholic, Mrs.
John Casey; A. NJ. f Mrs. Newson.
Secretary-Mrs. Edwin H. Ent.
Treasurer-Mrs. l.. N. Meyer.
Counselor-Mrs. M. C.. Walker.
Now, IN the name of charity and
humanity, in its need, we appeal to
the citizens of Bloomsbury for funds
to meet the demands upon us.
The collection, on Thanksgiving
Day, has always been applied to this
object, but has never been adequate
to meet all the demands. Will you
not respond to the call by placing in
our hands at least 5000 to relieve the
needs Of the suffering and poor ?
Given in His name it shall not lose
its reward.
Any articles Of secondhand cloth.
ing, Of any and all kinds, including
stockings and shoes, or anything in
the line of provisions, will be thank
fully received, and can be sent to tine
Y. M. c. A. rooms, in care of Mr..
Lynn, until further notice.
BY order of President.

Ebert Hubbard's Lecture.

The subject of Elbert Hubbard's
lecture, before the Institute, next
Tuesday evening, is "The Work of
the Roycrofters." The Columbus,
Ohio, P,rss-Post thus speaks Of ii
".'he heart of the lecture was the
story of the transformation of char
acter and life in the instances of those
employed in beautiful and artistic
work. Boys and girls, men and
women, who had not had the advan-
tages of school or college life, had
been taken into the Roycroft shops
and had become artists in their work
artists, as the work of the Roycroft
shops is artistic work, as all may
know who have seen the products of
that institution. These people are
taken without recommendation or in
tro1uctlon, and reliance for the lady
or gentleman is placed on the spirit of
the company. Everybody is trusted,
and everybody justifes the conf
dence. His stories Of rough, uncouth
and tlmld people, changing to cult
vated and gentle manners, and mod
est confidence in themselves, were of
intense interest, sometimes pathetic,
often amusing, but always instructive,
IN the lessons of the humane.
"To describe the lecture in detail,
its wit, its pathos, Its Christian phil
osophy, which is only the wisdom and
helpfulness of the best life, is simply
impossible. His audience passed
from laughter to tears with quick IA
cllity, and the entire story was told in
the simplest, purest language"

Automobile Causes Accident.

A team of horses driyen by Mrs.
Charles Whitenight OF Lime Ridge,
took fright al an automobile a short
distance below Espy Friday afternoon,
and plunging to one side Of the road
upset the vehicle. There were with
her in the carriage Mrs. Robert King
and little daughter. All were thrown
out. Mrs. Whitenight shared the
worst in the way of injuries. Her
flesh was cut and bruised in many
places, beside having a shoulder
broken. The other two sustained
only slight injuries. The horses were
stopped after they had covered about
a quarter of a mile.

Shamokin to Have a Race Track.

Shamokin in the very near future is
to have a race track and prominent
shamokin capitalists are behind the
venture which we have every reason
to believe will be a paying one. Sha-
mokln has long been deprived of this
kind of sport, owing to the fact that no
suitable ground could be procured in
the vicinity. Now Edgewood park
has been suggested as likely place
for the establishing of trotting and
bicycle race track. Ex Congressman,
H. M. Kulp is at the head of the
scheme, and has already contributed
$500 as a starter.

State $ Population.
Columbia County's Gain in Ten
Years is lO.O34.
The Official Census Figures
Show that the State Has
Grown over a Million
since last Census.

Pennsylvania increased over one
million in population from 1880 to
rooc The exact figures, as issued
by the Census Bureau are I,o44,IoI,
or total population of 6,3oa, a,II5, as
against 5,s5S,oI4 in 1890. This
makes the increase 1913 per cent.
In 1880 the population was 4,2Ss,-
SOL and the increase from 1880 to
1890 was 975, I25, or 22.7 per cent.
COUNTIES SHOWING DECREASES.
This, compared with the county
returns for 1890, shows that sixteen
counties IN the state have lost IN pop.
ulation during the decade. These
counties and their decrease in popu-
laton are as follows:
Cameron, from 1898, in 1890 to
7,o4S this year; Center, from 4S,a6o
to 4a,So4; Clarion, from S6,Soa to
s4,aS3; Crawford, from 65,3s4 to
63.642; Fulton, from Io,r37 to 9,oa4;
Greene, from aS,935 to S,2Ss;
Huntington, from 35,7SI to $4,000;
Junlata, from 1865 to I6,os4; Mon.
tour, from I5,545 to 1880; Perry,
from 26,a76 to a6,a63; Pike, from
9,4aa to 7, 766; Snyder, from 1861
to 1884; Susquehanna, from 4o,oS3.
to 4o,o43; Tioga, from 52,3I3 to
49,oS6; Union, from I7,Sao to 1852;
Wayne, from 3I,oIo to 3o,I7I.
STILL GOING BACKWARD.
OF these retrograde counties, nine
also showed falling off in 1890 as
compared with 1880. These counties
with taeir 1880 population are: Clarion
4o,32S; Crawford, 6S,6o7; Fulton,
Io,I49; Juniata, IS, 2a7; Perry, a7,6sa;
Pike, 9,96s; Snyder, I7,7o7; Susque-
hanna; 4o,354; and Wayne, 33,5I5.
In no Case was the decrease greater
than 9 per cent.
THE GREATEST INCREASES.
Ali the other counties show in
creases, the largest, of course, being
Philadelphia, which went up from
I,o46,e64 to I,29S,697. Other not
able increases among the counties
we're:
Allegheny, from s5I,959 in 1890 to
76s,o58 this year; Armstrong from
4o,749 to sa,s5I; Bucks, from 1871
sa7 10 159,I65; Cambria, from 66,375

7A6SS to 9o,9II. Columbia County
has population of 49,S96. In 1880
1t had 3o,S3a, an increase of Io,oo4'
CHANGES IN COUNTY GOVERNMENT.
Four counties-Berks, Lackawanna
Lancaster and Westmoreland-are by
the census figures shown TO have
exceeded the 100000 mark, and as a
consequence they will be advanced in
classification and undergo changes IN
their form of government. Each VIII
be entitled to two new officials, an
orphans court Judge and a county
controller, and there will be changes
from the fee to the salary system ol
compensating county officials. Tins
will be advantageous to many OF the
incumbents, but in the cases OF Sher-
ifs the fees are usually greater than
the salary they will receive when the
change shall be made.

N The INDIAN MANNER
Carrie Warrior, a Christian
Indian, Buried at Shawnee.
SIMPLE FUNERAL BITES
Include a Talk TO the Great
Spirit at Her Grave.

Shawnee. o. T., May 22.-Carrie War
rior, daughter of James Warrior, Shaw
nee Indian, was fburied in Shawnee mis-
sion cemetery. She was a young woman.
% years old, well educated and one of
the best young Indian women Her
disease was consumption, and she had
cared for her sister, Chosa Starr, who
died last winter with the same malady.
She died inthe Christian faith and seemed
quite composed. The burial was after
the Indian custom. She was beautifully
dressed, then wrapped in a white wooden
blanket from head to foot. only the bot
toms Of her moccasins showing. In the
evening she was placed on some boards
on the ground, a fire was built and the
Indians watched all night. In the morn
ing she was placed in neat coffin, which
her husband had secured, and then
hauled to the cemetery head foremost.
There the coffin was opened and all
walked around and dropped in little
snuff and left the cemetery. A short talk
by one Indian, TO her and TO the Great
Spirit was the extent Of ceremony. Could
she have had her way it would have
been a Christian burial, but her relatives
ruled otherwise
