Bishop Chaplain McOabe.

His great lecture on "The Bright
Side of Life In Libby Prison." will be
given In the Methodist Church on
Saturday evening March 3. This is
universally conceded to be one OF the
most interesting, instructive and en-
joyable lectures given by anybody
anywhere. 1t is real privilege to
spend an evening with this great army
Chaplain and hear him tell in his own
graphic style, his wonderful expert
ences in Libby Prison. All young
people especially should hear him.
He will sing as well as lecture and
his singing is grand. He has a won-
derful voice. The admission for adults
is only a5cts. Children Iocts.
"Chaplaln McCabe can congratu-
late himself on the fact that he had the
largest Steubenville lecture audience
gathered in recent years, in Hamline
church Tuesday night, the occasion
being the delivering of his lecture on
"The Bright Side of Life in Libby
Prison" The auditorium was filled,
while seats were placed in the aisles
for an overflow. The audience was
an appreciative one as well, and the
applause was frequent. The lecture
was one OF the finest efforts ever heard
in the city, simple in language, elo.
quent in delivery, pathetic, and humor-
Gus. The lecture was just what Its
title indicates-an account of the
bright side of life in Libby prison, and
however absurd such thing might
appear to many who had never heard
of bright side along with starvation,
the lecture was replete with humorous
incidents we'll told by good story
teller. - Steu6envil2e { o. Daily Gag

May Solve the Mystery.

The mystery surrounding the find
ing of the dead body ofa boy in box
car of the Pennsylvania Railroad, at
Williamsport on the morning of
October I6, 1897, may yet be cleared
away. The boy was murdered, and
from the wound on the head, the
weapon, it is believed was coupling
pin.
w. B. Koch, of Nescopeck, last
week, sent letter and a photogr aph
to Chief of Police Mcpherson of
Northumberland, and the latter for
warded them to Williamsport. Mr..
Koch says that his boy, aged between
I3 and IA years, was last seen alive
in Wilkesbarre on Oct. 10, 1897, and
the description OF the boy found in the
box car is so similar that he would
like to know more about the matter.
Mr.. Koch states that his boys full
name was James Russell Koch, and
when he left home he wore black
cashmere suit, black SLOUGH hat, white
shirt, No. S lace shoes and a cap. He
weighed about no pounds, was five
feet tall, had full set of teeth, two up
per front teeth unusually large; very
dark brown eyes and thick head of
hair; cut on left knuckle of left thumb.
Former Chief of Police Ellis Wise
of Williamsport, distinctly remembers
the features of the boy. He says the
DESCRIPTION tallies exactly. There is
however, slight difference in the
photograph taken OF the, dead boy
while in a casket at Wildwood Gene
terry, and that received from Mr.
Koch. The two pictures have beer
sent to Mr.. Koch for comparison.

DIED ON TIE WAY home.
Of Chronic Dysentery on Board the Hospi.
tai Ship Missouri.

1t will be sad news, indeed to the
many Young friends and former com
panions of Christian r Riece, to learn
of his death which occurred on board
the United States Hospital Ship,
Missouri, more than month ago,
while en- route from Manila to San
Francisco.
From the very begining of the war
with Spain, Chris. wanted to be a
soldier. On January first oflast year,
he went to Philadelphia, where he
passed successful examination and
was admitted as private in Company
4. Twelfth Regiment, United States
Infantry. In the course of two months
or six weeks thereafter, the regiment
left San Francisco for the Philippine
Islands. After arriving at the far away
land he frequently wrote home to his
parents, and occasionally would ad-
dress letter to friend here. He
appeared to like soldier life, and en-
joyed good health, until in December,
when he fell victim to the dreaded
chronic dysentery. He was placed
on board the Hospital ship, but died
before halfthe journey had been made.
Christian X. Riece was son of
Mr.. Charles H. Riece, of this
town. He was about nineteen years
of age, of jolly, good natured dis.
position and was well liked by every
badly who knew him.
Mr.. Reice, on Monday received
the following letter:
U. S. A. HOSPITAL SHIP Missouri.
AT SEA, January al, 1900.
Mr.. CHAs. II REICE, Bloomsbury, Pa.
DEAR SIR:-.Before this reaches you,
you will have learned by telegraph of
the death of your son Christian on
board of this ship. Your boy was a
good patient and we all took deep
interest in him, l especially, as l am
from Pennsylvania myself, and have
often been in Bloomsbury Christian
suffered very little and was always
cheerful and hopeful. He was very
anxious to see his home and those
dear to him again; but at the same
time he was resigned for anything.
Your boy prayed and believe died
a christian. The end came peacefully
and painlessly and was no doubt a
blessed change for him. May the
good Lord comfort the bereaved as
only He can.
Very Sincerely Yours,
VIM. l.. KNEEDLER,
Capt. Med. Corps U. S. A.
Your sons remains were embalmet
and placed in a handsome casket
They will be taken to San Francisco
in this ship.

at Wlliamsport. Sunbury is most
prominently mentioned as the place
for the trial. Jail physician Stokes
who examined Hummel, states that
the prisoners insanity is poorly
