TREY WERE SHOCKED.
Street Commissioner Neyhard, and Chief o
Police Knorr Made 10 Look Ludicrous by
this Subtle Fluid.

While measuring the distance be-
tween the rails and the current wire,
az a point out near Park Street Thurs
day afternoon, Street Commissioner
Neyhard, in moment of thoughtless
ness threw the steel tape over the
feed wire. A ground current was at
once made, and the entire strength of
the current was sent through his body.
He was powerless to release himself
and of course called for help. Chief o f
Police Wesley Knorr, who stood near,
at once realized the uncomfort lble
predicament into which Neyhard had
gotten himself, and rushed to his as
sistance, but his efforts to rescue were
not governed with the care that the
situation demanded, and he too was
soon doing dancing stunt. The spell
was of short duration however and
both were able to extricate them
selves. A few slight burns on the
hands will serve to remind them of
the experience for several days at
least. 1t is altogether likely that Fred
will be able to tell the distance be-
tween the rails and the wire at that
particular point without referring to
any memorandum, for some time to
come.

BURNED TO DEATH.
While Boiling Soap Mrs. Michael Fetterot
Falls Victim TO an Awful Accident.

"Accidents will happen " is an old
but true saying. Nearly every day
brings Its fulillment in some shape or
other, but rare is happening so ter
rible in nature as that which befell
Mrs. Michael Fetterolf, at her home
in Catawissa township, this county,
towards evening Friday afternoon
last. She was engaged boiling soap,
for winter use, custom pretty gener-
ally followed by farmers wives, and
unconsciously leaned too far toward the
kettle, when a flame leaped toward
her, and in an instant her clothing
was all ablaze. Her husband was
working in field some distance away.
The cries of his wife reached his ear,
and he FASTENED to her side but it
was too late to save her life. She was
terribly burned all over the body.
She fingered along for nearly twelve
hours, when death came, as relieving
agency and she passed away.
Mrs. Fetterolf was middle aged
lady, not more than thirty-six years
old, and enjoyed the respect OF host
of friends, all of whom will be deeply
affected by the terrible catastrophe.
The sympathy of the entire neigh
borhood goes out to the bereaved hus-
band, in this hour OF gloom, who now
alone, will be called upon to protect
and guide four children. The funeral
was held Saturday morning at half
past nire o'clock. There was large
gathering of friends and relatives at
The house, and also at the Cemetery

"Farmer" Greasy, vice president of
the Pennsylvania State Horticultural
Association, informs us that the next
meeting will be held in Bloomsburg
next January, and will be the largest
meeting ever held under the auspices
of the Association.
1t is the desire of those who have
been instrumental in bringing the
meeting to our county to make it a
success, as well as interesting and in
structive to those who may attend.
Prominent horticulturlsts from diff
ferent sections of the State will be
present, and we believe it would be a
good plan for our fruit growers to Sc
lect some of their best specimens OF
apples and pears to place on exhibit
ton at this convention.

ledge.

Known only to halt dozen people
or so an episode with romantic tinge
occurred in this city Wednesday. Dur
ing the day very handsome and
jauntily dressed girl of II or IS years
might have been seen upon our streets.
She took dinner at one of our hotels
and engaged room for the night. To
be brief the handsome girl belonged
to highly respectable and prominent
family Of LockHaven and she was
here without her parents consent or
knowledge. She did not get along
we'll at school, it seems; besides she
had witnessed several good plays at
her home and became convinced that
she ought to be heroine of the stage.
Pocketing her fathers mileage book
she accordingly set out for Blooms.
burg, where she thought the Bon Ton
Ideals were holding the boards. Ar
rlving there and finding that they
were at Danville she lost no time in
following them here.
The parents were greatly grieved,
but the mileage, which the father soon
missed, served as a clue. The con-
ductor on the Pennsylvania passenger
train, west, reaching this city at 1851
p. M, had handled the mileage de-
scribed between East Bloomsburg and
South Danville. The stage struck
girl was easily located and Wednesday
evening friend of her father arrived
in this city and had no difficulty in
finding her. The girl seemed to make
the best of the situation and meekly
followed the gentleman back to her
home.-DanVlM NezOs.

"Then." queried the "Englishman"
interviewer, both the European troops

failed to make any impression on
China?"
II will make an exception In favor
OF the Russians. They have hold OF
Manchuria, and whatever happens In
China they will retain that hold, and.
as likely as not, with the consent Of
the Chinese. The bad impression made
by the Russian atrocities In Pechili has
now passed away, for during the win
ter the Russians fed thousands Of
starving poor In Picking every day. II
Is true the corn was looted from the
, Government granaries, but the poor
hardly cared about that. Further the
Chinese Government was pleased at
Russia's proposal to the Powers ia
evacuate Picking after the relief OF the
legations, and Russia at the present
moment has only 300 soldiers In the
whole OF Pechili. Altogether the Rus
slams have come very well out of the
business. They are very strong In
Manchuria. and when the great revolt
comes the Chinese will not worry tc
drive them out OF the province they
have seized"
Now, is there any sort of definite
opinion as to what viii happen when
the Chinese revolt?"
"Of course, there is. The revolt will
take place in winter, perhaps next win.

The All Important Belt.

Ever since Nine. Eve and the serpent
hobnohbed in the garden OF Eden has
woman adorned herself with the
snakes scaly length. y new belt con-
sists OF a snake which coils twice
around madam's waist. the coils be-
ing far apart In the back and close
together in front, and which finally
catches his tail in his mouth. Buckles
made OF snakes coiled upon themselves
are in evidence. Some smart buckles
are OF dull silver in the form OF medal
lions or or ragged leaved. artistic
chrysanthemums. other flower shapes
are enameled with all the colors OF the
rainbow.
In some OF the more expensive leather
belts hook Is set i'm at the back on the
under side. a hook not larger than n
medium sized hook used in dressmak
ing. 1t fastens up into the skirt bind
ing and effectually prevents the belt
from slipping above it.
Very high draped girdles are again In
fashion and are much worn with Eton
or bolero jackets. Narrow aiglon belts
are fastened with cockades made OF
black velvet and gold braid instead OF
the dangling gold tipped streamers
which We're used earlier in the year.
All the imported belts have fobs to
match. The are made from the same
leather in fancy shape and have as n
buckle small reproduction Of the belt

Some OF the scarab belt clasps now
shown in the shops are exceedingly
tasteful. When small-that is. not
more than an inch in lenGth-and
simple, set I'm plain bands OF gold or in
a delicate little filiGree setting. they
are among the prettiest things of that
kind worn. Some of the scarabs are
in light colors. in delicately tinted
stones. and these will be particularly
effective with summer gowns.-Chicago

How RornItie. shop.

Undoubtedly Queen Alexandra IS one
of the most fastidious OF customers to
please as regards her dress. When she
gives an order for new dress, she
likes ii to be delivered TO her without
a sign of it ever having passed through
human hands or that needles and cot
ton had ever been employed in its
making. AS is well known. her mai
esty is an expert dressmaker. and woe
betide the unluclIy firm that has sent
n habit which will require alteration,
for the queen Will have her dresses TO
At like glove. says Woman's Life.
The Duchess OF Edinburgh is quite
the reverse of the queen and seldom
sends dress back to be altered. Her
royal highness is very gracious and
pleasant as to her orders and the exc
cution OF the same.
One OF the most popular of the royal
shoppers is the Duchess of York. She
gives little or no trouble to her filters
and is very easily pleased with her
toilets and the manner in which her
orders have been carried out. In this
respect she greatly resembles her la
mented mother, the Duchess OF Teck,
who was, as rule. extremely cour-
teous and easily pleased.
Many OF the royals delight to go
shopping unrecognized. and one very
rich princess is constantly going about
by herself. She is particular that
neither the assistants nor proprietor
shall recognize that she is OF royal
blood, and thus insures being treated
precisely as the more ordinary costom-
ers are.
