NEWsPAPE READERS.

In a recent sermon which has
called for a good deal of favor
able comment, DR.. Minor j.
Savage, had the following to
say on the subject of newspaper
reading:
EVERY man" said DIR. Savage
fought to read some newspaper
every day. Here is the making
of history going on, the making
of contemporary humanity; the
great questions of war and peace,
of government, of sociology, of
industry; matters of Importance
on every hand and you need to
keep in touch with them; you
need to know what is going on.
And here, if l may, let me sug.
gest ore thing" DIR. Savage
adds: II find as l look at the
world that most people take
one newspa per which they be-
lieve in, read that religiously
and tho roughly. so that you can
almost tell what a man s beliefs
are if you know what newspaper
he reads, where he fashions his
opinions Of war, peace and
everything Of the sort. Now, it
does not seem to me that this is
intelligent or fair, Have one
paper, if you prefer-perhaps
you cannot help it-but read
some other paper that teaches
Numerically opposed doctrines.
Do not become a bigot over your
newspaper, your party afilia-
tons, the great questions that
are coming up constantly for
consideration. Hear b o I h
sides.

srArE DIsPENsARY.

The point is being made that
the dispensary measure proposed
during the last session of the
legislature cannot be made a law
until the constitution is altered
to fit. The Kissimmee Valley
Gazette makes the point and
says "our present Local Option
system is ENTRENCHED by the
constitution. Article NIX of the
constitution expressly recogni-
yes LOCAL OPTION, and provides
in mandatory terms how the
system shall be operated" We
are inclined to agree with the
valley.Gazette on that point,
says the Suwannee Democrat
but disagree with it and other
papers as to the motives which
prompted the measure or that
the result of the law in South
Carolina will be inevitable here
or elsewhere unless under exact
ly the same conditions, The
system is in operation by "local
option" in other States where il
works well, and a "local option
law in Florida has hundreds OF
adherents who have no SINISTER
motive in its advocacy. Such a
measure in Florida ought to work
equally as we'll.

To Assist the Outing Fund,

played on the date named above on the
lawn at the rear of j. b. Mccoy 5
residence, West Market street. Tickets
admitting the holder to the game will
be sold i'll advance at 10 cents.
Hundreds of poor children of Phila-
delphia, many of them sick or crippl
ed, are every summer given an outing
at the sea shore and the money for
the purpose must be raised by just
such or similar means as proposed
above. In Philadelphia porch parties
among children are popular means
of swelling the children ; outing fund.
1t is emineutly proper that the interest
of the little boys and girls should be
enlisted in this noble charity which
has as its object the relief of other
children whose lines lie III the dark
and unhappy places Of earth. 1t will
kindle within their bosoms the fires
of sympathy and help to make them
charitable and self-sacriticing in dis
position.
Thus the little boys will give away
the entire proceeds of the game A
kind and sympathetic public are reli-
ed upon to patrOniZe the affair very
literally, as only mite is required
from each. The game played by these
little boys are by no means void of
interest as may be imagined The con
test next week, especially, will be
worth witnessing

Bloomsbury came but did not conqu-

at DeWitt's Park, lacked special feat
ures and was not full of the snappy
playing that makes happy the base ball
enthusiast zimmerman was not in
his usual form, owing to an injury to
his thigh, but he managed to put up
good game. Maley's arm was out
and his pitching was not up to the
usual standard.
The visitors made five errors, which
lost them the game. There were some
good hits made, Yerrick and COtfman
having wo-baggers to their credit,
while Bingham knocked out three

First Baseman p. Sha9er, of Blooms
burg. had his left ankle sprained while
sliding to second base. He was trying
to get into the base feet foremost,
when his left foot caught and was
turned. He had to retire and his
place was taken by Richard Goodall,
formerly of this city.
Bloomsbury scored two of its runs
in the third inning and added another
i'll the sixth. Nothing more was done
by them in run getting way until the
ninth, when they put another man

Strange Story of Thomas Hogan

Thomas Hogan, miner employed
in the ill-fated soft coal mines neal
JOhnstown where some 200 miners,
Thursday, lost their lives through an
explosion of gas, passed through Dan.
willie Friday afternoon on the way
to his home at Nanticoke. To M. II.
. ~-.-,. sUNUIaI UIner IOWnSmen
who happened to be on the train he
explained how he came to escape the
terrible catastrophe, his deliverence
being nothing short of providential.
Hogan is an anthracite coal miner,
who when the strike went into effect
along with many others sought work
i'll the soft coal region. For some
time past he was employed i'll the ill
fated Cambria mines.
On Thursday he received a telegram
calling him to his home in Nanticoke.
In response to this he came up out of
the mine but had no more than reach
ed the surface, when the fatal explos-
ion of mine gas occurred which dealt
sure and terrible death to his fellow
workers under the ground
Hogan remained on the scene render
ing what assistance he could until
over 80 dead bodies, charred and SCOT
begrimcd by the deadly fire damp,
We're brought out of the mines and tax
en- to their homes He describes the
scene as distressing in the extreme.
Hundreds of women, old men and chill
dren hover around the mines, groaning
in the agony of uncertainty and sus-
pense, or shrieking and tearing their
hair i'll a wild frenzy of woe as the
mutilated features of loved one are
recognized in the mass of charred and
blackened bodies brought out of the
mines. Hogan was so overcome by
the spectacle that before leaving for
home he sold his tools at sacrifice,
determined to have nothing more to do
with soft coal mining
What makes Hogan's escape all the
more remarkable Is the TACT that Just
before the anthracite strike was declar-
ed while working i'll a Nanticoke mine
he escaped death in a most terrible
form by only the breadth of hair
An accident occurred in the mine and
he was imprisoned Rescuers were at
work, but he was far out of reach The
blackness of midnight was about him.
Days passed and death by sutfocation
and starvation was staring him in the
face. At last when the end was near
at hand the rescuers reached him and
he was led ont into the light of day
after having been imprisoned 6S hours.
Experience such as Hogan 5 striking
ly illustrates the perils which attend
miners occupation.

Demand Greater Than Supply.

This is the busy season among farm
ers, who are in the midst of haymak
ing and harvesting, and as a conse-
quence the curbstone market is not so
we'll attended as it will be a little
later on. Unfortunately for the town
residents the demand for farm produce
is greater than the supply and prices
are high The recent rains have
clothed every foot of pasture land
with a rich coat of verdure; neverthe-
less the price of butter is still up to IS
cents per pound, striking contrast to
some former seasons when the price
was as low as a shilling. Eggs, too,
remain high, few being sold below IS
cents.
Blackberries and raspberrles are
plentiful, healthy looking and luscious
retailing at 10 to II cents per box or
3.boxes for % cents. Huckleberries
promise an enormous yield, reports
from Snyder and Union counties and
from the backwoods nearer home in
dicating that our market i'll short
time will be deluged with them.
Early potatoes show up splendidly.
These. which are mostly sold i'll small
quantities, bring 16 cents per half or
cents per quarter peck. The potato
crop for the present season is assured
and unless ruined by rotting as was
the case last year the price by autumn
will fall tn- a pArv, .reasnpahla .f"'Ve-
