CONFIRMATION
SERVICES

The rite of confirmation was admin
istered to class of nineteen by Rt.
Rev. James HI. Darlington, ID. D.,
Bishop of Harrisburg, at Christ Epis-
copal church Tuesday. a large con-
gregation was present.
There was evensong at Z 80 after
which followed confirmation, which
in turn was followed with a sermon
by the Bishop.
Bishop Darlington is forceful,
eloquent and logical speaker He took
as his text Colossians, lis: 1.-The
Church His Body"
He dwelt upon the uniform methods
employed by some of the churches to
bring the people to God, which seem
to have adults particularly in view,
the revival services being shaped to
accommodate grown up persons. The
old way of the church, he said. is to
take up the child-train it in he way
it should go, so that when it is old it
will not depart from it. He invoked
the blessing of God on all methods of
evangelization, whether adults or chill
dren are sought, but he insisted that
the regular, the easiest and the best
method is to take the child, start it
right and keep it right. People say
bile EplSCOpdl CliuICil Is bllS edSlest
church to join and the Bishop assert
ed that such is the case. He dwelt up.
on the simple requirements needed and
said that the church presumes that the
child is Gods child
Bishop Darlington does not believe
in death bed conversions and he ex-
pressed himself in positive terms. He
does not doubt that instantaneous con-
| versions have occurred, but they did
| not take place ON the death bed, when
physical and mental powers are wan
| ing-when the body is racked by pain
and the intellect is clouded by drugs.
In the matter of service he does not
believe in the mere meeting house"
idea, where in seeking heaven only
such help can come as men and wo-
men receive from each other He COM
mended the churchly idea. The church
is heaven seeking men-the one society
founded by God The higher can reach
the lower but the lower can not reach
the higher.
He deplored the tendency of the age
to sneer at the bible-to question its
divinity. 1t came down from heaven
as the church has done.
The church stands for divine day.
Under the pretense of making all days
holy men succeed in making undoly
things seem holy. The church has a
divine ministry-a ministry which
represents God, not the people.
The church's idea is not the idea of
sacrifice but of sacrament. The idea
is not to give up everything that makes
life beautiful. God does not believe
in suffering, but in good news. Sacrl-
flee will not avail; no man can save
himself. Christ must be our great
sacrifice.

raising MONEY FOR
SALVATION ARMY
Stranger Soliciting Will
Probably Make an
Explanation,

A man appeared in this city yester-
day and began the work of soliciting
money for the Salvation army. What
success he met with is uncertain, but
from now on he is likely to be em-
barrassed by the fact that he tallies
with the description given of Saliva
tion army worker in Berwick, who is
regarded as an impostor. The strang-
er working here is entitled to the bene-
fit of every doubt and it is not impos-
sible that he may be able to- make a
satisfactory explanation.
The Bloomsbury Daily" of last
evening stated that stranger i'll the
garb of Salvation army worker ap-
peared in Bloomsbury. Berwick and
other places in this vicinity last week
and on claim that his organization
was about to resume work in this sec
tion proceeded to solicit money. He
stated that the army would establish a
barracks at Berwick the coming sum
mer. He pointed out the good work
done by the army in Berwick in 19045
and Oh the strength of his representa-
tions he is alleged to have raised about
one hundred dollars. The Daily
goes on to say:
1T now appears that the man was a
fakir-at least he is not working un-
der the authority of the regular Saliva
tion army organization, and is not
known to them. William o. Hunter,
of Philadelphia, general secretary of
the Salvation army, was sent clipping
from the Berwick Enterprise referring
to the collection being made at that
place. Mr.. Hunter now sends word
that he knows no such person, the man
was never sent out by the organiza-
tion, and the army had no intention
of resuming work in this section in
the near future.
The man, who appeared i'll Danville
soliciting, wore IA salvation army garb
and corresponded to the description of
the person soliciting money in Blooms
burg and Berwick and alluded to i'll
the above paragraph. The description
printed in the Bloomsbury Daily is as
follows: "A tall man with dark hair
and mustache, of uncommon intellig-
ence and good talker, although hav-
ing pronounced German accent.
The stranger made at least partial
canvass of our business street. So far
as could be determined he did not sue
ceed in getting any money. Neither
could he be located here last evening,
although the police in view of the
above coincidence were anxious to
have an interview with him.

BaccaIaureate Sermon.

The baccalaureate sermon to the
graduating class of the high school
was preached by the Rev. l.. ID. Ul-
rich at Trinity Lutheran churchSunday
evening. Along with the class, the
faculty and the school board of Dan
vile were present, all occupying seats
that had been reserved in the front
part of the auditorium. There was a
very large congregation present.
Clyde Davis, Miss Mae Dreifuss,
Fred Roberts and Miss Lydia Woods,
of the class of or acted as ushers. A
large pennant bearing the class colors,
pink and green, and on which was in
scriDed the year of graduation, "'06, "
was spread upon the wall over the
pulpit. The church was very tasteful
ly decorated about the altar, with
large palms, ferns and carnations.
AS usual on such occasions much in-
terest centered in the class, which was
composed of twenty seven persons,
thirteen boys and fourteen girls. The
young ladies, while not uniformly
dressed in white, were very tastefully
attired and presented Il very bright
and attractive appearance. The entire
class, boys and girls alike, wore the
class color in the form of a pink rose.
The church was opened with the
regular service, after which special
music was rendered and the sermon
was preached. Rev. l.. ID. Ulrich, the
pastor, took his text from Romans,
18th chapter, 18th verse Not sloth-
full in business fervent in spirit, serv-
ing the Lord. "
The baccalaureate sermon was in
deed sound and practical discourse
delivered in Mr.. Ulrich's best vein.
The discourse throughout was an ap-
peal to the class, showing how relig-
ion and business should go hand il
hand-how, while person may be
concerned with the affairs of the
world, he may at the same time serve
the Lord.
A very beautiful vocal solo was rem.
dered by W. r. Miller, entitled: "Oh,
Shining Light" A. f. Campbell rem
dered violin solo with most delight
full effect.

FISH WARDENS
ON THE GROUND
Fishermen Should Keep
Well Posted on all the
Provisions of the Law.

A couple of fish wardens are said to
be on the ground and are quietly OBJ
serving the manner in which fish are
being taken both from the river and
from Mahoning creek. Rumors that
fish are being illegally taken from the
waters here have been current for some
time past. The stories, no doubt,
reached the department of fisheries at
Harrisburg, in which event that fish
wardens should be sent here to look
over the ground would be the logical
sequence.
Salmon, brook trout, black bass,
green or Oswego bass, strawberry bass,
white bass, rock bass, blue pike, perch,
sunfish, Susquehanna salmon, pickerel
are all classed by law as game fish,
and can be legally taken only with
rod, hook and line. There is penalty
of $25 for each offense. With the ex
ception of trout none of the game fish
can be legally taken until after June
10, the season extending from that
date until February 18th inclusive.
The penalty is $40 for each fish illeg
ally taken and retained. There shall
be no fishing ON the first day of the
week commonly known as Sunday.
These and other important provisions
of the fish law should be we'll under
stood by persons before they indulge
in the sport of fishing by any of the
we'll IL methods. At the present
restrictions are placed upon fishermen
that would have been accounted tyran-
nical few years ago. Nevertheless
no one who desires to see the fish pro-
tected will dispute the wisdom Of
justice Of the measures.
Local fishermen are looking forward
to very good fishing the coming sea-
son. Bass fishing which had been poor
enough for several years previously,
was exceptionally good in both the
north branch and west branch of the
Susqr ehanna last year and the same
condi tions, it is thought, will prevail
again. The increased number of fish
in the north branch last year would
SEEM to explode the theory that the
poll ution of the river caused by the
coal mines was killing off the bass, un
less the better conditions be attributed
to the fact that the coal operators may
ha ge adopted another policy and are
permitting little or none of their coal
dirt to reach the river. A similar in
crease of fish in the west branch. how
ever, following corresponding period
Of scarcity could not be accounted for
in the same way and would seem to
indicate that the better conditions
must be due to some general and more
remote cause

SPIRITUALISM.
Its Manifestations as Viewed by the
World of Science.

World of Science.
Spiritualism is the successor of the
medieval occultism and of the older
magic. Today science, without accept
ing its manifestations, studies them,
and in these troubled waters almost
all the facts upon which the new meta
physics is founded have been fished
up. Like magnetism, 1t has drawn the
attention of physicians to the phenom-
ena of induced sleep and has given
many of the data for the study of hyp-
nosis and suggestion. The mediums,
who believe, like the ancient python
esses, that they are possessed by for
eign spirits, have served for the study
of the change of personality and telep-
athy. And 1t has shown that the prod
igles, diabolic and divine, recorded In
all early religions were not so fabu-
lous as the critical fancied. At all
events science admits that there is a
force-call it psychic as Crookes does,
neuric with Baretz, vital with Bara-
due or the odic force of Reichenbrach
"a force which can be measured and
described, which leaves its mark on
the Photographic plate, which emanates
from every living being, which acts at
distance, which saves or destroys.
Plato knew it. Great wizards like Car
dan made use of it. The charlatans
like Cagliostro blundered upon it. The
scientists have the last word.-Every-
bodys Magazine.

The first planting of cotton seed in
the colonies was in the Carolinas in the
year 1921, when seeds were planted as
an experiment in garden. Winthrop
says that in 1913 ''men fell to the
manufacture of cotton, whereof we
have great stores from Barbados" In
1896 it was cultivated In the gardens
along Chesapeake bay, especially in the
vicinity of Baltimore, and at the open
ing of the Revolution 1t was a garden
plant in New Jersey and New York
but Its real value seems to have been
almost unknown to the planters until
about 1880.

ATTACKS ROOSEVELT
FITZGERALD OF NEW YORK CRITI-
 CISES THE PRESIDENT.
Ayers That the Chief Executive Is Seek ing to Encroach Upon the Rights and Privileges of the
 Congress.

f Washington, April 4.-The House dur- ing its session today listened to criticism of the President on the part of MT. Fitzgerald. of New York, for the failure of the chief executive properly to advise the House as to the objections he had to debate opening 505,OOO acres of land for grazing purposes In Okla homa Territory instead of advising the members of the Indian affairs commit tees as to the weakness of the measure so that it might be amended to meet the wishes of the Commissioner of In- dian affairs.
 Mr. Fitzgerald in the course of his strictures on the President said:
 This is not Russia. The President is not like the Czar, who originates and enacts legislation. The President may recommend but he can neither origi- nate nor enact legislation.
 Somebody may say this Is trivil. The history of all governments which have parliamentary institutions show that the failure to resist trival en- croachment on the part of the chief executive has led to vast encroach- ments until the legislative branch of the government existed In name only"

 MT. Bartholdt. (Mo) called up the bill to incorporate the national Amer ican German Alliance of the United States and of America under the laws of the District of Columbia MT. Bartholdt in explaining the organiza- tion said it was National in character having branches in thirty three or thirty-four states and a membership of a million and a half.
 MT. Hepburn Qowa) thought the or ganization was political in character and he could not see any reason for such legislation.
 MT. Bartholdt said the organization was most patriotic Yn character and had no political significance whatever. The bill, he said, purposes to make Americans out of Germans.
 Mir. Hepburn objected and the bill went over

 The post office appropriation bill was then taken up. The bill carries an ap- propriation- of s191.373,S4S, being $1.- S36, ,211 less than the original estimates of the department and $913,221 less than the modified estimates.
 MT Cwerstreet 1nd), chairman oi the committee on post offices and post roads said that the increase of the postal service necessitated heavy in creases in expenditures and a few changes in the methods of the admin istration of the service could be made without serious impairment to the ef- ficiency of the service.
 While the deficit in the postal ser vice for the fiscal year 1905, was up wards of fourteen millions, the total receipts for the fiscal year 1905, $152,- S26,5S5, exceeded the total expendi- lures for the fiscal year 1904 by $464,- 46S. The department estimates that the receipts for the fiscal year 1907 will be $lS1.573,264 based upon an es- innate of nine per cent over the es- timated receipts for the fiscal year 1906.
 MT. Overstreet was compelled to an swer a rapid fire of questions when the franking privilege came up in the course of his general outline of the bill. The new. legislation which the bill provides makes it unlaw full for any person entitled under the law to the use oi frank to lend his frank or permit its use by any committee, organiza- ton or association, or permit its us. by any person for the benefit of any committee or organization, or asso' ciation.
