AMERICAN SECURITIES ABROAD.

London. Dec II. rn.--The market for Ameri-
securities dull and inclined TO sag in the
morning. but hardened somewhat in the late trad
ing. Last quotations follow:

WILKES-BARRE RACES.

Race week at Wilkes Barre is
one of the big events of the year
for that city, and the races which
take place June IS, I9. 20, FL,
draws thousands of people from all
parts of the country. A large EN-
try of the fastest horses in the
Eastern and Middle States has been
secured and assures fast time and
close contests. The Association,
which is composed of the leading
business men of the city, believe in
conducting a modern, up-to-date,
clean entertainment, in a manner
never before attempted in this
country. A visit to Wilkes Barre
is always pleasant, but more so
during race week when the city is
AT its best.

SCARCE AND HIGH.

Householders can put it down
for a certaiuty that fruit of all kinds
this year will be scarce and high.
On account of the cold weather
that has prevailed all over the tenn
perate zone this spring the fruit
crop will be short. Word to this
effect has been received by dealers
from the big houses that make
speciality OF handling canned fruit
and ship great quantities of it ev-
cry season. Some of them fear
such scarcity that they have re-
fused to enter into contracts for the
delivery of any specified quantity
of fruit. Several weeks ago it was
thought that the fruit crop outlook
in the surrounding country was
good even with the season late. The
continuance of the cold spell, how
ever has discouraged the growers
and they fear that conditions here
abouts will be no different than in
other sections of the United States.

LATE TRAIN WILL NOT RUN.
D. L. & W. People Think il Would Not Pay.

The effort to induce the d. l.. &
w. railrord company to put late
train OH this division to enable busi-
ness men to make trip to New
York and return the same day has
evidently ended in failure.
During a visit Tuesday Super
intendent Rine stated that no action
had as yet been taken in the matter
Of placing in service a late train
from New York. Speaking for
the railroad company he said the
officials could not see how such a
train could be made to pay expens-
es. The amount of patronage it
would receive was very uncertain.
He thought it exceedingly doubtful
whether any action would be taken
in the matter.
1t will be recalled that the peo-
pie along the line were very much
interested in the proposition to Sc
cure the late train, while the Cham
Der of Commerce Of Bloomsbury
and the board of trade of Berwick
sent in numerously signed petitions
relating to the matter.

KELLY GUILTY.

B. f, Kelly was tried on Tuesday
for corrupt solicitation, and after
being out sixteen hours the jury
brought in verdict of guilty, and
recommended the defendant to the
mercy of the court. The charge
was that he had offered the audi-
tors of Conyngham school district
S35 each, if they would sign a
financial statement of the district
as made up by him.
The case was a hard fought one,
the commonwealth being represent
ed by District Attorney Small and
Fred Ikeler, while the defendant S
interests were looked after by Judge
Herring and w. c. Johnston.
a motion has been made for
new trial, and Kelly is under b all.

COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL CON-
VENTION.

Since many people are somewhat
at loss as to just how they may
reach Millville, on the occasion Of
the 3Sth annual Sunday School
Convention, June 27 and 2S, the
following information will be of in
terest to them. A train on the S.
B. & B. leaves Berwick at 6.55 a.
III. passing Shaffer's Bridge, mile
from Bloomsbury, at 7.3o, and
reaching Millville at SIS. The
train leaving Jamison City at $50
on the B. & S. makes connections
with this train at Paper Mill. An
other train leaves Berwick at 2.15
p. m, makes close connections with
the B. & S. train which leaves
Bloomsbury at 2.37, and reaches
Millville at a little after 3 o'clock.
Returning, a train leaves Mill
vile for Berwick atII.Io and max
es close connections at the Paper
Mill with the B. & S. train reach
ing Bloomsbury at noon. Another
train leaves Millville at $50 o'clock
for Berwick. This train, the Pass
enger Agent has agreed to hold at
Millville until 80 thus giving an
opportunity of attending the even
ing sessions and still reach home
that evening, to people living along
the line, provided there are at least
ten passengers. People wishing to
take advantage of this arrangement
will insure its being carried out on
either day by notifying the Field
Secretary SO that the requisite
number of passengers may be Sc
cured. By this arrangement per-
sons wishing to spend all or a part
of the day at the convention can re-
main for the evening session and
return home the same night.
Buckalew's livery has consented
to run hack to ShaffeI's Bridge
to meet the morning and evening
train
A stage for Millville also leaves
Bloomsbury at 4.2o p. m. and re-
turning leaves Millville at 7.3o a.

AFTER MANY YEARS.

The newspapers seem to be max
ing this sort of anniversary sea-
son and for that reason and to help
it along we give the following;
On the first day of June 1884,
Col. John G.. Freeze and Miss Mar
garet Walker were married in Ian
caster, Penna. They are therefore
in the filty-fourth year of their
welded life.
Col. Freeze was admitted to the
Bar in Bloomsbury, Pa. April 10Th,
1913, and is now iii the sixtieth
year Of his professional career.
He was born November 4th, 1925

ing a pretty active life.
He is President of the Columbia

ENJOYED HIS VISIT.

In the June issue of St. Mark S
Church Monthly, published at
Adams, Mass, Rev. DR.. Zahner
says:
1T was deep JOY to the rector
to be present on invitation at the
twenty-hfth anniversary of St.
Margaret's Guild of St. Paul S
Church, Bloomsbury, Pa, of which
parish he was rector for ten years
lacking only a few months. He
had the honor of organizing this
society twenty-five years ago. 1t
has done a most effective work in
aiding i'll the erection of the parish
building, in sustaining the various
iectors in their parochial enterprises
and in signalling the completion
of twenty-five years OF its existence
by tiling certain parts ofthe church
and placing a brass memorial plate
in the vestibule bearing the motto
of the Guild: II was glad when
they said unto me; let us 90
into the house of the Lord. !"
1t was great pleasure, after so
many years, to meet the dear old
friends, but sad, too, to see how
many had passed to that zone and
only mansion, the paradise of joy.
where tears are ever banished and
smiles have no alloy"

FLAG DAY.

June I4th will be Flag Day,
which year by year is winning
more of the general observance
which is its due. 1t was on June
I4th, r777, that the continental
Congress enacted, That the flag
of the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes. alternate red and
white, in blue field, representing
a new constellation. With the
admission of new states new stripes
were added until the Congress of
1913 restored the flag to its origi-
nal thirteen stripes by enacting,
THAT the flag of the United States
be thirteen horizontal stripes, alter
mating red and white; that the
union be twenty stars, white in a
blue field, and that on the admis-
sion of a new state into the union,
one star be added to the union of
the flag: and such addition to take
effect on the Fourth of July next
succeeding such admission" The
story of the nations growth is told
by the forty-fve stars which now
gleam in the field of blue. Enforc-
ed patriotism is mockery, but the
proper observance of Flag Day, as
urged by the American Flag Asso-
citation, is an admirable one. Put
out your flag.

cARo-PLAYlNe AND MORALITY.

The champion woman whist player
of the United states has renowned
cards publicly and in every form be-
cause she thinks card playing is sim
full. Naturally her action has caused
good deal OF comment ana contro-
versy as to the ethical value or lack
OF value i'm cards
Like any other diversion. cards may
be made as sinful as the player pleases.
II he plays poker and BLUFFS much. or
If he plays hearts at a quarter a point.
he must needs be exceedingly expert
not To reach the conclusion ;hat il is
sinful waste Of money For that
matter. one can use type in a game
printers call "iefing" ana attain the
same undesirable result: or what
church people call lotto, but which is
really straight keno, can be as Gemor-
alizing rs faro or roulette.
But to return 10 cards: the chief OBJ
lection to games OF cards. from lay
mans standpoint. is the proftlessness
of them As sort Of mental aneas-
thetic, a means OF forgetting the real
things Of life, card game is service
able to a certain extent. It involves
same skill. a peculiar kind Of mnemonic
ability, but when one has played for
hours the net profit seems hopelessly
small in proportion TO the effort ex-
pended
And as for the bridge whist parties
and clubs that devote days and weeks
of the year to amiable contests. one is
inclined to side with the former cham
picn and agree that Il is sinful Just
as il would be sinful for a group OF
men or women to meet and run around
~ circles for hours or jump up and
down or do any other foolish thing and
call it game.
When great literature is TO be had
for almost nothing. when the worlds
work offers Astounding opportunity to
do good: when the public service calls
so insistently for the best effort OF the
best men and women of every commu-
nifty, and calls without response from
those who have the leisure and the
brains to do service; considering these
facts the waste OF time and talent and
money that go TO furnish card games
for amusement certainly is sinful to
the last degree.
Whether It is a violation of the moral
law 10 play an occasional game Of
whist or any other card game as a
social diversion. may be open to le-
bate. and the answer can only be given
BY the individual! concerned; but there
can be no question about the futility
and harmfulness OF making cards n
business, whether as faro dealer or
IN high-class society.

our Dirty STREETS.

The streets Of salt Lake City would.
in their present condition. be a dis
grace to the smallest hamlet in the
state. This is specially true Of the
streets in the downtown district. Very
little effort. apparently has been made
by tho street department TO clear away
the accumulation of filthy snow that
clogs the thoroughfares. and even the
crossings are almost impossible. To
attempt to cross a street in the middle
OF a block is TO take the risk Of being
buried under snow and mud.
Whoever is responsible for this dis
graceful state of affairs should be
brought up with a round turn. The
street department has been abundantly
supplied with funds. What is the street
supervisor doing with the money: If
he is spending il the results are not APP
parent in the business section. A few
sweepers have been at work, but they
have not accomplished enough to make
a respectable showing. The taxpayers
are entitled to more for their money
than they have been receiving.
Certainly the Salt Lake public con-
tributes enough money in taxes to en-
title them to decent streets, at least.
Existing conditions simply serve to
show that an administration that is
run i'm the interests of a political or
ganiZation rather than in the interests
Of the general public cannot perform
good public service. The Thompson
administration is an administration Of
politicians. by politicians and for poll
ticians. The rights OF the public are
not considered at all.
The only satisfaction the people can
derive out of the situation is found in
the fact that Mayor Thompson and his
fellow officials have served more than
half of their term. We viii be called
upon to endure them for less than a
year longer. So let US bear up with as
much patience as We can muster,
though goodness knows it is often diff
hcult to express in mere language our
honest opinion OF the entire outfit
