A Substitute for MatrimOny.

Successful business girls and
women" says Mrs. Anne Steese
Richardson in W0man' S Home Com
Panion for February. "are too well
off financially to want to mlrry.
"The girl who earns twelve, if-
teen or twenty dollars a week sets
for herself a standard of living,
dress and small luxuries which
would require a husband earning
twenty-five, thirty and fifty dollars
respectively. She regards as ne
cessities what her mother consider
ed luxuries. If a man who is earn
ing only as much as the girl or
few dollars more a week asks her
to marry him, he knows that the
girl must either deprive herself of
some things she has grown to re-
gard as necessities or she must con-
tinue to work. And there is many
a home-hungry young man to-day
too proud to allow his wife to work.
Through agitation and her own
honest effort at desk, counter and
loom, woman is rapidly nearing the
goal of equality in work and wages
with men. Her services are worth
to-day as much as those of the man
who might marry her-if her Ser
vices were wCrth less"

WELSH SINGERS COMING.
Male Chorus Of Twenty seven Trained Vocal.
lists. Prize Winning Performance.

Unquestionably a great musical
event is in store for the people of
Bloomsbury. February 9th, the fa-
nous Mountain Ash Male Chorus
of Wales will sing i'll the Cathedral.
The concert will be given under the
auspices of the Consistory Choir.
The Mountain Ash Male Chorus
is famous organization now max
ing tour OF this country. The
Choir were very fortunate in secur-
ing them for concert. 1t is a
combination of twenty-seven train
ed vocalists, who are famous
throughout Europe for their many
prize winning performances.
Among their successes are numer-
Gus concerts before royalty. They
have repertoire o. sixty choruses,
of which at least twelve are given
at each concert, in addition to quar-
tets, solos, duets and iecitations.
The members of the choir have
sung together in constant regular
practice for many years and no mu-
sical organization of their record
and standing has ever toured the
United States before.
Professor Glyndwr Richards of
Wales is the director of the chorus
For the last sixteen years he has
been a national figure among the
Welsh musicians.

State fairs in New York and Ohio
justifes a similar undertaking in
Pennsylvania. PHiAa. Press.
The expenditure of S2a5, 900 Of
the public money at this time. for
the establishment of a state fair,
seems like an unnecessary extrava-
gance. There are good county fairs
all over the state, and considerable
sums of money are now given for
the agricultural interests, at State
College, for farmers institutes, and
to county agricultural societies.
With the pressing needs of the
schools and hospitals all over the
state, the money could be much
better expended for these, than for
a state fair which might or might
not be success. The experiment
was tried some years ago and prov
ed dismal failure.
Two years ago the appropria-
tions to schools and hospitals were
cut down because there was not
enough money in the state treasury
to go round. Why multiply the
demands upon the public resources
for things not really necessary,
when established public institutions
and charities are suffering for lack
of funds?

The Girls Recreation Room.

tFrom the January Normal School Quarterly
On several occasions in the past
few months mention has been made
in the columns of the Quarterly
concerning the plans for Recreation
rooms for the use of students of
the school. Two rooms were long
ago set apart for this purpose and
arranged after a fashion, but only
lately have the efforts of those
working for the proper furnishing
of the same met with any measure
Of success The young ladies of
the school now have in room T a
room for use as a parlor and re-
creation room which is worthy of
the name and which would do cred
it in appearance and in furnishing
to any school or to any community.
The funds raised by the personal
exertions of the ladies of the school,
augmented by liberal contribution
from our Principal, has been ex
pended under the direction of the
Preceptress, Miss Port, who pur-
chased most of the furniture per-
sonally in New York. Handsome
Mission furniture in light stained
oak has been secured from the most
expensive and exclusive dealers in
New York City, dainty and artistic
hangings and rugs are in evidence
and a number of choice etchings
and Photographic reproductions Of
famous paintings adorn the walls.
The floor has been stained dark
brown. the former vanished vain
scoting has become dull black.
The ceiling from which hang SIM
pie but attractive chain supported
tungstoliers, is a cheerful yellow
and the walls beautiful tint of
dark blue with which latter color
the upholstery of the furniture cor
responds.
An artististic lamp of hammered
brass decorates the round table of
generous proportion in the center
of the room, and the whole effect is
that of quiet luxury and comfort.
The young men of the school de-
clare it is their turn next and we
trust that an early issue of the
Quarterly may record the install
ling of equally comfortable and
satisfactory furniture in the Re-
creation room on the boys, side of
the house.
New and large sized fire escapes
have recently been added in var
ious parts of the building, making
the means of exit from all parts of
the school buildings unusually
complete and numerous.

Marching On.

An Atlanta, Georgia, dispatch
says that state wide Prohibition
laws have gone into effect in three
southern states, North Carolina,
Mississippi and Alabama. Georgia
is the only other state wherein stat
utory Prohibition exists, the law
having been in operation one year.
A new law, which seeks to regu-
late the liquor traffic in Louisiana.
has become effective, and although
the law is not sweeping i'll its terms
as a state wide measure, Prohibi-
tionists contend that if it is strictly
enforced it will drive the saloons
out of the remaining saloon strong
holds.
A special from New Orleans says:
Providing that no saloon shall be
within less than three hundred feet
of a church or schoolhouse and
forbidding all gambling devices and
musical instruments in barrooms,
the Gay-Shattuck Regulation law
has gone into effect in louisiana.
At the same time the parishes of
Acadia Caddo, Vermillion, Calca-
sieu, Vernon, East Carroll, St.
Landry and Tanggipahoa became
dry as the result of recent local op-
ton elections. Shreveport, the
second city in louisiana, is in Cad
do parish, and forty-fve saloons
are put out business.
For the first time in 200 years
Biloxi, Mississippi, is without sa
looms, the seven that were operating
there going out of business, when
statutory Prohibition became effec-
tive in Mississippi. One saloon is
adorned with huge punches Of crepe
and the legend, Gone, But Not
Forgotten" "
A special from Nashville, Ten
nessee, says that the Prohibition
lists contend they will be able to
pass a state wide bill before the
Tennessee Legislature, which meets
this month. In other states, nota-
bly, Texas and Arkansas, the vot-
ers probably will be called upon
this summer to decide constitu-
tional amendment for Prohibition.
At the city election at Toronto,
Canada, Mayor Oliver was reflect
ed by a majority of several thou
sand. The bylaw to reduce the
number of hotel and saloon licenses
from $50 to no was carried.

There is bridge across the West
Branch, connecting Lewisburg and
Montandon. which was erected at
the joint expense of the counties of
Union and Northum oerland. And
now the old Lewsburg Bridge
Company intends to sue for DANA
ges for the loss of business to the
amount of $1,000 or $4,000 a year,
due to the erection of free bridge
by the two counties. They claim
that under the law they were given
exclusive right to build bridge at
that point, aud that by erecting a
free bridge the two counties were
infringing upon their rights. The
suit will be brought in the Union
county Courts. The free bridge
and the toll bridge are only short
distance apart.

A State Fair.

The bill providing for a perma-
nent State fair, which has been
prepared for presentation to the
Legislature, does not designate any
place for the location of the fair.
This shrewdly avoids contention.
The original proposition that Har-
risburg be the permanent site had
started up number of other inte-
rior cities which wanted to be TAX
en- into consideration and were ad.
vancing inducements. Any bill
which fixed a definite location
would be received with indifference
if not with opposition in sections
not favored, but while the matter
is left open there is hope for all.
The proposed measure provides for
a commission to designate loca-
ton and have charge generally of
the enterprise. An appropriation
of $500, 900 for permanent grounds
and buildings aud SIS, 1000 for pre-
miums and expenses is included in
the act. If the fair is properly set
on foot and managed it will no
doubt pay its own expenses from
year to year. The project has the
support of the organized agricul-
tural interests generally, and those
who are Immediately urging it con-
tend that the success of permanent

CHURCHMEN DINE.

The fourth annual churchmen's
dinner held at the Park Hotel Will
Transport, Monday evening under
the auspices of the Episcopal
churchmen of that city, South
Willianisport and Montoursville,
proved to be another delightful
chapter in the social life of the
church club of men in the Arch
deaconry of Williamsport. Two
hundred and sixty men sat down
around the festal board to partake
of the feast spread before them and
to hear the flow of oratory that fol-
lowed.

from all over the archdeaonry. The
guests including many laymen Of
considerable prominence, came
from Remove, Lock Haven, Belle
fonte, Jersey Shore, Muncy, Mont
gomery, Hughesville, Milton, Sun
bury, Danville, Berwick, Blooms

church in this half of the Diocese
of Harrisburg, over which the Rt.
Rev. James Henry Darlington is
bishop.
The banquet started promptly at
7:45 o'clock. Prior to the entering
of the dining hall an informal re-
certion was held in the corridors
and ball room of the hotel. The out
of town guests were warmly re-
ceived by the members of the com.
mittee in charge of the affair and
made to teel at home. Joseph c.
RICHTER, at the conclusion of the
feast, raped for order and intro
duced the POSTMASTER of the even
ing, A. w. Duy, Esq, of Blooms
burg.
Mr.. Duy was heartily received.
He proved himself very apt and
delightful toastmaster, full OF hum
or and we'll fitted to fill the pecul-
lar position at this banquet. He
made brief address upon opening
the flow of eloquent speaking that
followed him.
The speakers were c. LaRue
Munson Esq, of Williamsport,
whose subject was "The Law of
the Tithe", Morris Earle Esq, Of
Philadelphia, on "The Proper use
of Music in Church Worship, A.
S. Goldsborough Esq, of Balti-
more, on the subject HAS the
Church any Political Responsible
ties?"
Bishop Darlington arrived from
Harrisburg about 1880, and spoke
on The Diocese" 1t was a very
interesting and Inspiring gathering.
