Diphtheria Claims q Victim,

Nellie May Reed, daughter of Mrs.
Oscar Reilley, No. 6 Pine street, died
of diphtheria at one o'clock yesterday
morning, aged IL years and II months.
The child was not supposed to be crit
ically ill by her mother, but during
Tuesday she took a change for the
worse and the case ran speedily to a
termination.
1t was the first death from contagious
disease that came up before local ply
sicians and undertakers since the new
law went into effect, Monday. 1t was
a good object lesson to reveal just how
much official formality has to be COM
piled with-how many troublesome
details have to be inquired into and
on the whole how much more work is
entailed upon physicians and under
takers by the new law.
In cases involving diphtheria and
other infectious diseases burial has tc
take place in thirty-six hours after
death and there can be no funeral. In
yesterdays instance the little victim
who passed away at l a. NJ, was bur-
led about A p. M, interment taking
place in Fairview cemetery.

ure, the people being at liberty to come
and go and to move about at pleasure,
the seats in the hall being arranged to
suit the occasion.
Some two hours were delightfully."-
whiled away. Delicious coffee and
ham sandwiches were served in the
adjoining room by the ladies' auxiliary
and nearly all present at some time
during the evening partook of refresh
ments.

New Year Resolutions.

The year 1906 is but few days old
and may still be classed as a kid. 1t
will be some weeks before it will lay
off its pinafore, but it is in this ad-
descent period that it affords oppor-
tunity and occasion for people of con-
trite minds to "swear off" and turn
over a new leaf. 1t would be impossi-
BILE to estimate the number of resolu-
tions that have been made by parties
who have resolved to be good during
the coming year, and longer, If posi-
ble The snap resolutions extend to
and cover all manner of shortcomings.
Drinkers resolve to stop drinking
smokers VOW that they will no longer
daily with the seductive weed swear
ers pledge themselves to total absten-
tion from "cuss'' words; non-church
goers allow their conscience to prick
them for not being seen in the house
of the Lord and make resolution to
be in church every Sunday, and, If
possible, in front pew.
These resolutions usually hold good
for a brief period and those who make
them pride themselves in their refor-
nation. But in majority of such
cases the backsliding soon begins. The
drinker, at a very dry moment, will
conclude that small snifter will do
no harm the reformed smoker will
yield to the alluring odor of pipe or
cigar the swearer who ltad determined
not to indulge in profanity any more
will find himself lapsing into his
former imprecations the party who
had determined to be at church reg
ularly during the year, eventually
has no difficulty in finding an excuse
for staying at home and reading tie
Sunday newspapers.
This unfortunately is too often the
outcome of reform resolutions made at
New Year. 1t may be safely said that
to SO impotent conclusion three
fourths of them come. But this need
not be so, and would not be if the res
olutions were made in the right spirit
and with manly determination to car
~ them out.

rIasonic Temple at Bloomsbury.

The deal has been practically con-
summated whereby Caldwell Sover
eign Consistory S. p. r. S. will Sc
cure the present building and lot of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion located at the northwest corner of
Market Square, Bloomsbury, which
means the erection of IA Y. NJ. G. A.
building in Il more central location,
and a building, which will be much
more pretentious than the present build
ing, being built of at least several
stories, permitting store rooms on the
first floor, to be used as IA means of rev.
enue for the association. 1t means
the erection of two buildings that will
beautify Bloomsbury to an extent that
cannot at first be appreciated.
For the Consistory it will be an
ideal 10 cation for temple, the best
possible location in the town, while
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion will also gain greatly by the sale
inasmuch as the purchase price deter
mined upon is $l2, 900, which means u
clear profit to the association of &c.
600 above the purchase price from the
Neal estate several years ago. With
the money realized from the sale the
Y. NJ. @. A. will have the nucleus of
fund to which will be added the
contributions of the citizens of the
town-that will result in the securing
of building that will be credit not
only to the association but to the town
as we'll. The sale means the addition
of two of the finest buildings in the
town. --Bloomsburg Press.

Roll Call Brings 200 Responses.

The "roll CALI at the Pine Street
Lutheran church Sunday night brought
out large congregation and the SER
vices throughout were of very inter
esting nature.
After the usual opening services
the 23rd. Psalm was read hymn No.
1859 was sung, after which the pastor,
Rev. DIR. Shindel, led in prayer. This
was followed by the singing of hymn
No. 149, after which the choir render
ed an anthem.
Next came the roll CALI, embrace
ing the names of those who at one
Sunday school during DR.. Shindel's s
pastorate, but who are no longer con-
nected with it, large number of
whom are living at IA distance. A
number of letters had been receiv-
ed from those unable to attend. These
were read along with the responses
that came from those present, when
the long roll was called. In this way
about two hundred of the old time
members were heard from.
There was another anthem by the
choir, after which Daniel S. Bloom,
who was superintendent of the Sun
day school fifty years ago, gave some
"reminiscences touching in very in
teresting way on the teachers and pu-
pills alike in that long departed day.
Nearly four hundred dollars were
raised Sunday, 1927 accompanying
the responses of the old time scholars.
The members of the church contribut-
ed the rest, placing $l6S in the box.
The congregation Joined in singing,
"When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder, "
which was followed with doxology
and benediction.

lows:

One person for the Office of Governor
One person for the office of Lieuten-
ant Governor,

|. In accordance with the rules govern
ing the party, the representation in

Dental election. Under the rules each
legislative district is entitled to one
delegate for each two thousand votes
cast for Republican Presidential cleo
tors in 1904, and an additional dele
gate for every fraction of two thou
sand votes polled in excess of one
thousand

The skuIker and the Hustler.

Accidents and exceptions for indiv-
idual reasons aside, the young man
whose chief effort has been to avoid
working more than his pay called for
and who has carried this as the gov
erning principle of his life, has been
a greater or less l.:ilure. When he him
self has reached middle life and has
begun to complain because other men
have got ahead of him, he looks every
where but in the right place for the
reason. The place is himself and the
reason is that he made the mistake
of never doing as well as he could, be-
cause he was afraid Of cheating him
self What he actually did was to
cheat himself in the worst way, says
the New Bedford, Mass, Standard.
There is, as rule, no escape from
the truth that unless man gives the
best there is in him he will never get
the best there is for him. Careers
which look like exceptions to this rule
are due either to peculiar conditions
such as do not arise in ordinary lives
or else the appearance is deceptive.
