APPEAL FUR FUNDS.

The ladies constituting the Union
Benevolent Society of Bloomsbury,
are in need of funds to carry on
their work of helping the needy
and deserving poor through the re-
mainder of the winter. The offer
ing at Thanksgiving was much less
than usual and was exhausted ear
ly in January; since then we have
been obliged to refuse help in sew
eral cases where it was greatly
needed. AT present we have some
calls where there is real destitution.
For instance, family of five chill
dren, ranging i'll age from twelve
years to two months, father ont of
work, mother willing to work but
can't leave the baby, two oldest
boys sent to school one morning
this week without bit of break
fast, because there was nothing i'll
the house to eat.
Now, past experience has taught
me that this state of things will not
long exist in Bloomsbury when the
people know the facts. I will SIM
ply say we need clothing, especial
ly shoes, for children, vegetables,
meat, groceries, in short anything
to eat or wear. or money to buy
these things. You who have plen-
ty please respond.
All articles left at Mrs. Demaree's
on Fifth street, or I43 West First
street, will be thankfully received
and judiciously used.
Respectfully submitted by
MRS. M. c. WALKER,
Supt. and Treas. of United Be-
nevolent Society.

REV. M. |. O'REILLY DEAD.

Rev. M. I. O'Reilly died sudden.
~ at Danville on Tuesday evening
at 9. 30 o'clock. He was i'll only
about half hour, and had walked
down street only short time be.
fore. Heart disease was the cause
of his death.
Father O'Reilly had been the
rector of St. Joseph's Catholic
Church at Danville for the past
seventeen years, and was beloved
and respected by everybody. He
was also we'll known here, having
been rector OF St. COLUMBIA S Church
in 1882 and 1883.
The funeral will be held on Fri
day morning at 1890, and the re-
mains will be taken on the after
noon d. L. & w. train, to his
birthplace in St. Joseph's Susque-
hanna county, for burial.

PAY IN ADVANCE.

A recent ruling of the post Office
department at Wash ington, which
became effective on January I, 1908
makes it virtually impossible for
newspaper publisher to send out
his paper without payment in ad-
vance from the subscriber. This
result is accomplished by declaring
that daily more than three months
in arrears, or weekly paper year
in arrears, shall not be classified as
legitimate subscription entitled to
be mailed as second class matter at
a cent pound, but that all papers
in arrears shall pay postage at the
rate of four cents pound and that
stamps must be affixed.
1t will readily be seen that it i'm
poses burden upon the publisher
that cannot be borne. The one
way out would seem to be to re-
quire payment in advance, all sub
scriptions to stop at the expiration
of the time paid for.
When once in operation the pay
in advance plan will work no hard
ship to either publisher or sub
scriber, but on the contrary will be
of positive benefit to both.
The publisher of this paper
therefore, calls upon all its sub
scribers who are year or more in
arrears to make immediate settle
ment. This matter has been taken
! out of the publishers hands, and
he has no option but to obey the
ruling of the post Office department.
The new postal ruling follows:
"a reasonable time will be allow
ed publishers to secure renewals of
subscriptions, but unless subscrip-
tions are expressly renewed after
the term for. which they are paid,
within the periods:
Dailies within three months.
Weeklies within one year, they
shall! not be counted in the legiti-
mate list of subscribers, and copies
mailed on account thereof shall not
be accepted for mailing at the sec
ond-class postage rate of one cent a
pound, but they must be mailed at
the transient second-class postage
rate of one cent for each four
ounces, or fraction thereof.
Under the old ruling the great
majority of newspapers circulated
virtually free of postage. The new
rate on subscription in arrears of
four cents pound is prohibitive.
The moral is plain-pay your sub
scription arrearages and in advance,
or the publisher will be forced to
discontinue the subscription.

FIRE ESCAPES.
(Contributed.)

The two terrible fire tragedies
which have happened lately, the
one at Boyertown and the other at
Collinwood in Cleveland, ought to
call the attention of every man to
the dangerous construction of pub.
lie buildings. In those two ires
three hundred or more children
have been burned to death. Many
of them because the doors of exit
opened m5OardS. The jam of the
frantic inmates made it impossible
to open them, and the children in a
mass burned to death, in the sight
and reach of their more frantic
parents.
These two terrible examples
make the reason for calling atten-
ton to houses more or less public
here at home.
The Court House is one of those
to which the general public ought
to look, and the one which appeals
to the largest public. And we sub,
NIT that in case of fire during
any public function, court, lecture,
or county meeting, there must be
great loss of life or limb; for no
crowd could leave the court room,
and get down the winding stairs
and against the big, strong closed
doors-and down the steps to an
other set of closed doors-opening
inwards-and ever escape from the
building.
From the court room there should
be side doors opening outward upon
an iron platform upon flight of
iron stairs reaching to the ground
and SO in front. And all the stair
doors should open outward, as
should also every outside door.
The attorney of the Commission
ers should call their attention to
the question under consideration
and not leave the matter until a
fearful accident horrifies the com.
munity.

TO HUNT OUT THE BAD ONES.

A commendable move is being
considered by a number of self
respecting and law-abiding Italians
in the western part of the state
which needs the support of all good
American citizens. The Connells-
vile Daily Maos says: "The Ital.
ians of the coke region are to hold
a convention for the principal pur-
pose of starting movement to-
ward having the criminal element
of their countrymen deported from
America. The idea is an excellent
one and if carried out ought to have
good results. AS the conditions are
now the good have to bear part OF
the burden of the reputation of the
bad. The workings of the so-called
Black Hand society and the free
use of the stiletto among lower
class of Italians have caused great
many Americans to harbor i'll feel
ings against Italians as whole.
This is entirely erroneous. Some
of the most broad minded, most
progressive and most desirable citi-
zens America has to-day are ma
tives or descendants of natives of
sunny Italy. That large number
of this class reside in the coke re-
gion is shown by the Inauguration
of efforts to have the chaff sifted
from the wheat in their ranks"

JAMES M. KLINE.

lanes NJ. Kline, the. well known
and popular proprietor of the Cen
trail Hotel, died at his home OH
Tuesday morning, after an illness
of a year and a half. His disease
was a humorous growth which OBJ
structed the passage to the stomach,
so that it was impossible for him to
take sufficient nourishment.
He consulted specialists, and re-
ceived treatment lin Philadelphia,
but without beneficial results. AS
a last resort two operations were
performed at the Joseph Ratti
Hospital by DIR. Laplace of Phila-
delphia, but these were unavailing,
and he was brought back to his
home knowing that there was no
help for him. He gradually grew
weaker until the end.
Mr.. Kline was a son of Harman
Kline of Fishingcreek township,
and his age was as years. He is
survived by his wife, formerly Miss
Abra c. Sutliff, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. J w. Sutliff, of Hunt
ington township, Luzerne county,
and by two children, Pearl and
Harold. His mother, Mrs. Har-
man Kline a sister. Martha, both
of Jamestown, and two brothers,
William and Hiram, both of Asbury
also survive.
He at one time conducted store
at Benton, and later was proprie-
tor of the Kile Hotel at Emmons.
Subsequently he moved to River
side and conducted hotel until
;eoI, when he purchased the Cen
t:al Hotel and moved here His
house enjoys high reputation for
its excellent table.
