AMONG JAPANESE SOLDIERS.
c. v. Hibbard Explains Work Of the
Y. M. G.. A.

c. v Hibbard, Y. NJ. C. A. secretary
among the japanese soldiers on the firing
line in Manchuria during the Russo-Japa-
nese war, spoke in the gymnasium Of the
Y. NJ. c. A. yesterday afternoon on at
the Front With the japanese Soldiers"
He described the conditions among the
fighting men and the work of the Y. NJ. c.
A. in relieving some of their suffering.
The Japanese soldiers were paid only
) cents a day. the speaker said. The
frightful conditions in Manchuria cannot
be described. Hundreds of tons of smells
poured in the region about Port Arthur,
playing havoc with human life.
Fifty thousand Japanese at a time
were taken off. The cost of life was
frightful.
Thousands and thousands Of lives were
sacrificed to take the Russian forts by
storm and sally.
THAT plan had TO be given up. Long,
intricate. winding trenches were dug by
the japanese as an alternative. and this
necessitated constant hard and slow dig
ging through solid rock and hard, dry
soil.
The digging soldiers were constantly
exposed to the ra2id-firins guns Of the
Russians An endless line Of wounded
was being hurried back to the hospital
quarters.
This intricate web Of trenches sue
ceeded. after the outposts and forts had
been dynamited by the Japanese. 4 sally
was made through the opening
There was no rest for the poor Jap
anese soldiers, even after Port Arthur
was taken. Orders were Immediately re-
ceived that the soldiers that captured
the port were wanted elsewhere In Man
churia.
THE branch Of the Y. NC. A. that We
established was not patronized well at
first. We were looked upon as Russian
spies. The name of Jesus was scoffed at
by the Japanese, who looked on US as
enemies since We were Christians.
After a while a few Japanese soldiers
came In to rest from their weariness 1t
was not long before more followed. Soon
the soldiers were patronizing our place
constantly.
/ Every available comfort and conven-
fence was provided with our scanty
means. Eighteen thousand men frequent
ed the rooms in three months. and We
provided them with writing paper on
which to write home to their families
One day 1000 letters were written
So appreciative has the Japanese gov
eminent been of this Y. M. c. A. service,
1t was explained. that 1t has asked for a
permanent establishment Of quarters at
Dalny. 4 lot 1O4 feet square has been
given; masons have donated the brick
needed. and $50. 900 cash IL being solicited
by officers OF the Japanese national Y.

Tar and Feathers for Rats.

course. He caught a rat in trap. ad-

and then turned the animal loose. The
next morning he found the rat dead. The
experiment was tried again. Again the
rat was found dead.

ODD FELLOWS AT SHAMOKIN
will Meet al OanviIie Next Year.

The celebration of the Soth ami
versary of the foundation of the
first lodge of Odd Fellows in Amer
lea on Tuesday gave Shamokin the
biggest day in its history. 10000
Odd Fellows, and many thousands
more of friends, wives, sweethearts
and ordinary sightseers, thronged
the streets so that in some places it
was with difficulty that people could
move.
A profusion of decorations of all
sorts added to the gala air. Even
the side streets were not neglected
in the matter of gay trimming, so
that wherever the visitor walked a
delightfully."- beautiful vista met the
eye.
The business meeting Of the an
niversary association was held in
the Shamokin lodge room at 1880
a. m. 1t was evident that there
would be a big fight on the choice
of place to hold the next meeting.
The favorites were Danville and
Tyrone, and both towns seemed to
be running about even. During the
morning large banners were made
and taken over the town on which
were the words, "Vote for Danville
in Ieoo." The individual members
also did great deal of work in in
ducing the tide of sentiment to turn
in favor of Danville.
At the meeting the vote was a
close one, Danville receiving 27
votes, Tyrone 20 and Mt. Carmel
2. The meeting will be held on
Tuesday. April 27th, 1909.
The feature of the day was the
monster parade, in which it is esti-
mated there were 8 900 Odd Fellows
in line. The Danville lodges had
the largest number of men in line
over 200.
There were IS bands in the pa
rade and it took the column three
quarters of All hour to pass one
point. One of the most attractive
features of the parade were two
floats in which were the orphans
from the Odd Fellows orphanage
at Weigh Scales.
At the business meeting the fol-
lowing officers were elected: Pres
ident, w. H. Kiess; secretary, H.
B. Eberly; treasurer, Abe A. Ny
ers. Out of sixty-one lodges, etc. I,
in the district fifty. eight were rep
resented at the meeting.

GOES TO DANVILLE CHURCH.

Bishop Shanahan has appointed
Rev. A. J. McCann, of Locust Gap
to succeed the late Rev. M. /.
O'Reilly as pastor of St. Joseph's
Catholic church at Danville.
Father McCann was pastor of St.
Columba's church in this town for
thirteen years, and he has host of
friends here among all denomina-
tions. He is hard working, con-
scientious priest and during his
pastorate here and at st. Joseph S
church, Locust Gap, endeared him
self to the people. The announce
ment of his removal Sunday caused
profound sorrow among his parish
toner's and, after hearing his fare
we'll address. many persons left the
church with tear-stained faces.
The church at Danville is to be
congratulated on securing such a
man as Father Mccain, to fill the
place of the much beloved Father
O'Reilly.

THE CREATION"

This splendid musical compost
ton will be rendered in the Metho-
dist Church on Tuesday evening,
May I2th by the Bloomsbury Choir
al Society under the direction of
Charles o. Skeer. 1t will be ac-
companied by c. P. Elwells or
chestra of about twenty pieces.
Rehearsals have been in progress
for some weeks, and the chorus
numbers eighty or more voices.
The former concerts of this society
are sufficient guaranty that this
production will be of high musical
order. Haydn's Creation" has
never been attempted in this section
before, and may never be again.
Only the cities aspire so high as
that, and Bloomsbury should take
pride in the fact that it has an or
ganization that not only is not
afraid to tackle such music, but
that it can succeed most admirably.
The prices of admission will be
low. The church ought to be fill
ed. Let everybody make arrange
ments to be there.

PAPER CHANGED HANDS.

In the .SnLfvan Review of April
23rd we read with regret that Fred
Newell has sold that establishment,
and has retired from the newspaper
business. For more than twenty
years he has published the best pa
per in Sullivan county. and one of
the brightest inland weeklies in the
state. The Re0itw has been a well
come visitor to our sanctum for
many years, and we shall miss
Brother Newell's editorials, both
wise and humorous, as circum-
stances required. Should he en-
gage in other business we wish him
unbounded success. 1t is to be
presumed. however, that in twenty
years he has accumulated an ample
fortune in the newspaper business,
and can spend the balance of his
life in ease and pleasure. That is
what always happens to country
editors, we don't think.
Mr.. L. R. Taylor, of White Ha-
ven, is the new proprietor of the
ReViezO. He is young man of en-
ergy and ability, and will no doubt
maintain the high standard attained
by Mr.. Newell.

ABUSED A HORSE.

q Lawrence Hill of Pine Summit
was arrested Monday for abusing
horse belonging to Correll's livery,
and fined $40 by Squire Jacoby.
Hill has been employed on Evans
farm below town. He hired the
horse OH Saturday to go to Pine
Summit, but instead went to Mill
vile and lola, driving the horse
until it was nearly exhausted.
1t was necessary to go to Berwick
to find an officer of the Humane
Society to proceed in the matter, 1t
is pity Bloomsbury can't have an
officer of this society. There would
be plenty for him to do.

COMMANDERY BALL.

The tournoi and ball given at
Caldwell Cathedral last Friday
night by Crusade Commandery,
Knights Templar, was a brilliant
function. About $50 couples were
in attendance, and the grand march
was participated in by uniformed
Knights only, and their ladies, Mr..
and Mrs. S. R. Bidleman leading.
The music was exceptionally fine,
the waltzes being played by c. P.
Elwell's orchestra. and the two
steps by the Citizens Band.
Delicious refreshments were serv-
ed by the members of St. Marga-
ret's Guild.
Altogether it was a delightful
occasion, and one of the most bril-
liant social gatherings this town
has ever seen.
