TIE CENTENNIAL.

The Centennial Committee will
hold a regular meeting this evening.
The celebration of Bloomsburg's
one hundredth anniversary is still two
weeks distant, but already people are
arriving to remain until after the big
show. The event gives promise Of
being brilliant success, and in every
way commensurate with the occasion.
We would advise our readers to take
advantage of Centennial week and
visit Bloomsburg, for it will give them
an opportunity to see the town in its
finest dress, and display which is
not otter afforded. The entire pop
ulace will set everything aside, and
lend themselves to the celebration.
The first days program will include
base ball, grand civic pageant, illus
trating the business and industrial life
of the town, and fine display of hre
works in the evening. On the second
day the firemen will hold sway. There
will be in line, beside the local de.
partment, fifteen companies from
other cities, with at least a dozen
bass bands. There will also be a
game of base ball on Friday.
The program OF amusements will be
varied. Already contracts have been
closed with Gypsy Camp and Palace
of Illusions, and the committee has
lines out for Darkness and Dawn, the
show that scored such success at
the Buffalo Exposition. If good
weather prevails, the Centennial should
be brilliant success. Are you COM
ing
The official invitations were ie-
ceived this morning, and are ready
for distribution. They are sold for
five cents each, which is the actual
cost.
The hremen have adjusted their
difficulties, and will be ready to show
the best parade of the kind ever seen
here,

The Public Library.

The Free Public Library, second
floor of the new Clark building,
Centre street will be open to the
public during the Centennial. We
trust the citizens will not forget it
when showing their guests the ad-
vantage of residence in our town.
The room will not be formally
opened to the reading public until
later but with a suitable room and
the cooperation of our citizens, it
is possible to fill a long felt want of
our town. There has already been
contributed sectional bookcases
that will hold several hundred vol
umes, but more are needed. Any
one desiring to make donations in
this line, or toward the further
furnishing Of the room or any COM
munication in regard to this move
ment may be made to Miss Laura

The Clerks Picnic.

Pleasure held full sway at Shaw
nee Park last evening. The occa-
sion was the annual picnic of the
clerks of town and their friends. 1t
is estimated that at least six hun
dred were in attendance and every
body enjoyed themselves. The
clerks certainly made wise selec-
ton in Shawnee. 1t was simply
grand in the park last night. The
music, the lights and the merry
faces, all seemed like fairy land
and then the gentle wind that
stirred the branches of the trees
was full Of perfume. Music was
furnished by the Centennial orches
ira.

Will Benefit Several Communities.

The construction Of the Pennsyl-
vania, Bloomsbury & Berwick Rail
road, will do much for the people of
,he several townships through which
it passes, because it will bring them
closer to the larger towns, and estab-
lish convenience the worth of which
can hardly be estimated. The busi-
ness people of Berwick and Blooms
burg will also reap benefits from the
enterprise, as it will make the town
ships suburbs, almost of the two
towns. There is to be no waiting or
delay, after work is started, and it is
expected that the early part of next
year will see the completion of the
line. There will be no cuts of any
account to contend with and the road
for a greater part OF the way can be
made on railroad grade. The road
will be first class in every particular,
and the entire line ballasted with
stone. The stations between Orange.
vile and Watsontown are all to be
remodeled, and improved. The site
for the station at Berwick has moi
yet been decided upon, but the pro.
liabilities are that it will be located
near the Store Company's building
BY pushing the road to speedy com
pletion, the gentlemen at the head o
the enterprise will win the thanks O
many people.

W. q. Gilmore. Chief Marshal.

At meeting OF committee from
the Centennial committee and COM
mittee of three from each of the FIVE
recognized fire companies of town
held in the committee rooms in the
Hartman building Monday evening
the matter OF chief marshalship OF
the parade on flremen's day of the
centennial was considered. Since
the appointment of Mr.. Gilmore by
the sntennial Committee considera-
BILE complaint had been heard, and
the purpose of this meeting was to
get the representatives of the various
companies together and hear what
the objections were. Each company
was heard separately. 1t appeared
to be the sense of the committees
from the Rescue, Winona and Liberty
company's that John Fortner should
be the chief marshal of the parade,
for the reason that he is chief engineer
of the department. The matter was
discussed at considerable length and
owing to the fact that the sentiment
of the meeting appeared to be SO
evenly divided the question was finally
put to vote. The majority favored
Mr.. Gilmore, end his appointment
was sustained. The parade will con-
sist of five divisions and each will
have a chief marshal withsaids. This
is the manner ir which the fremen's
parades are conducted at the big
gatherings in the cities.

WHOLESALE RESTAURANTS.
Places Where Small Eating Houses
Obtain Cooked Food.

II it were asserted without any ex-
PLANTATION that there were restaurants
in New York which cooked large guam
titles of food day and night and yet
which never sold a mouthful to per-
son within their doors. it would GER
tainly arouse doubt or ridicule. Yet
such is the fact. There are more than
forty establishments Of this class in
New York. Their customers are not
hungry men, but restaurants, eating
booths, oyster stands and free lunch
counters. There was time when ev-
cry place of this sort owned and used
its own kitchen, but the increase Of
rents, the decrease in the size of store
property and the greater economy ne
cessitated by keen competition have
brought the wholesale restaurant into
existence and made it financial sue
cess.
Most Of these affairs are on the east
side and are managed by Germans,
Hebrews, Swiss and English, their
numbers being in the order named.
They supply roast beef, lamb, veal,
mutton, corn beef and pork, pot roasts,
baked and boiled fish, fried oysters,
clans, scallops, cells, fshballs and soft
shell crabs, boiled potatoes, cabbage,
turnips and beets.
A few supply a larger bill Of fare,
but the demand for their goods is COM
paratively limited. They purchase
good, wholesome material, employ ex-
cellent cooks, own efficient delivery
wagons and run affairs upon a good
business basis.
When you pass an oyster stand and
see nicely fried oysters and soft shell
crabs neatly piled upon platter and
decorated with little sprigs of parsley,
twice out of three times you look at
the wares of these establishments. The
tiny restaurants in the business dis
tricts, and especially those which cater
to clerks and workingmen, depend al
most entirely upon the wholesale res
taurants for their food. Oddly enough
they can sell their cooked food to the
retail restaurants for less than what
the latter would pay for the raw ma
terials. This comes from buying
wholesale in very large quantities, IN
cooking on a large scale and in utiliZ-
ing all the waste products.-New YORK

Carving the ROaSts.

Justice DugrO Of the New York su-
preme court has quaint fad. lie is
one Of the most expert carvers in the
world, and his interest in the Hotel
Savoy is so intense that he spends a
great deal Of his time in the kitchen
seeing that the food and service are
satisfactory. The close personal super
vision has made the Savoy bill Of fare
famous the world over. When there is
q crush in the dining room, he throws
off his coat, his judicial ermine, 50 to
speak, and buckles to with the cary
ers until the hurrah is over. Few Of
the hundreds OF thousands who have
dined at the Savoy realized ut the time
that the perfect cut Of roast beef set
before them was carved by the hands
Of one Of the distinguished justices Of
the supreme court Of New York. Think
of having carver with Il salary of
$1,000 Il year and Il property of mil
lions! A handy man.-New York

A Cnnchmnn,a nlunder.

One day at Edinburgh Lord Rosebery
realized the disadvantage Of owning
swift horses. His brougham had met
him at Wayerly station to take him
to Dalmeny. Lord Rosebery opened
the door of the carriage to put in some
papers and then turned away. The
coachman, too well trained to look
round, heard the door shut, and, think
ing that his master was inside, set of
at once. Pursuit was attempted, but
what was there I'm Edinburgh streets
could Overtake those horsesf The
coachman drove seven miles until he
reached Il point in the Dalmeny parks
where it was his lordship's custom to
alight and open gate. Here the
brougham stood for some minutes
awaiting Lord Rosebery's convenience.
At last the coachman became uneasy
and dismounted. His brain reeled when
he saw an empty brougham. He could
have sworn to seeing his lordship enter.
There were his papers. What had hap
pened? With quaking hand the horses
were turned. and driving back the
coachman looked fearfully along the
sides of the road. He finally met Lord
Rosebery travelling in great good
humor by the omnibus.

The Cook Problem,

A system of itinerant cooks comes as
n suggestion from England toward
solving the great problem of domestic
servants. This would give variety to
the life of the household drudge, and
the palate of the employer would be re-
lieved of the mOnOtony Of fare from
which it suffers under the ministration
of one and the same mistress Of the
kitchen. The plan is shat Il certain
number of families of almost the same
financial status should form Il circuit
around which the cooks should travel.
serving for fixed period in each fam
fly and then moving on to the next
until the circuit is completed. Why not
reverse the arrangement and pay due
regard to the Importance Of the queen
of the Kitchen? Let the cook be Il per-
manent part Of the household and let
the families travel about the circuit OF
homes rented or Owacd in common?
There are great possibilities in this
system of itincrancy. \ suggestion has
been made Of ,tinerant sOns and daugh-
tiers for i'll assorted families.

league announces that its object is to
make apple eating fashionable. "Busi-
ness in other lines of production has
been doubled b. convincing the public
that it is the proper thing to wear or
use a certain article. There are 100000
600 Americans living in town and city.
Educate them so that they will eat
two apples each every day. and you do
more for practical agriculture than can
be done in any other way"
The league pledge reads: Il agree to
call for apple in some form whenever
/ eat a meal at any public table.
Should apple not be named on the bill
Of fare | will ask why not and en-
deavOr to secure the serving of good
eating apples. will also encourage

FATE.
By JAMES r. TINS.

Fate Is is the only power that rivals death.
Aud with the fseting sun he rounds the globe.
His swayinE sceptre gives the world each breath
His scimitar of death hangs meath his robe.
Fate, failure. fame. three gods in one,
Rule both the awesome night and giittering sun
It's fate DEGREES the miseTies of the hour.
The strength to winds. the essence to the flower,
The peace and quiet that pervades the soul.
Fate makes the hearth of rich or poor his goal
Prepare thyself TO measure swords with him;
Grow strong and husband we'll thy strength,
Fer fate will come to call on you at length.
