From this day forward Jesus Christ
commits himself, both His natural
body and His mystical body, to His
priests. In the holy eucharist we have
jurisdiction over his natural body, for
at our word He comes to His altar un-
der the forms of bread and wine and
allows us to touch and handle Him
and give Him as the food of the faith
full in holy communion. Our jurisdic-
tion over Christ's body mystical is ex-
ercised in the sacrament of penancc.
where by Gods command we bind or
loose men from their sins. In the tri-
bunal of love and mercy we are acting
as God ambassadors and by His auth

The presentation of the candidate
was made by the Rev. l.. f. Baker.

SAND PROVES A
DISAPPOINTMENT

The work of hauling sand on the
river bridge as remedy to prevent
horses from slipping when the wood
paving becomes wet is not yet quite
completed. Already, however, the sand
| is found to act badly and it is ques-
tion with many whether sand is the
best material that could be used
The county commissioners are every
where applauded for the move they
have made. The application of sand is
regarded wholly as an experiment and,
if it is found to be of no practical
value in preventing horses from slip
ping, no blame Will attach to the com
missiOners.
Logically, sand seemed to be the
proper material to apply. But already
several things have been learned.
First, under the grinding process to
which it is subjected by the wheels of
innumerable vehicles the sand soon be-
comes reduced to fine powder or dust !;
second, this pulverized substance is
caught up by the wind and blown in
every direction. There is not minute
of the day but the progress of vehicles
over the bridge is marked by clouds of
dust, which fly ont over the river
When an automobile dashes across the
bridge the effect is worth noting.
There is dense cloud of dust, which
simply envelopes everything in sight
vehicles on the driveway and pc
destrians on the sidewalk alike.
Judging by the effect of the wind on
the sand it is, indeed, a question
whether the quantity intended will be
found on the driveway when the next
rain occurs.
Philadelphians are felicitating them
selves on having secured wood paw
ing for Market street. 1t might be
policy to wait awhile and see what
remedy the resourceful metropolitans
shall apply when their paving is com
Dleted-when the rains shall fall and
they are brought to realize what they
are up against.

ORDAINED To
THE PRIESTHOOD

The ordination service at Christ
(MemoriaD church Tuesday, when
the Rev. John Costello was introduc-
ed into the office of the Christian min
istry, constituted one of the most
beautiful and impressive church func-
tions ever witnessed III this city.
The altar was beautifully decorated
with many lights and flowers.
Morning prayer without music was
said by the Rev. ]. W. Diggles of st.
Paul's at Bloomsbury. The ordination
and the ceremonies connected with it
followed at / o clock.
The service began with a procession
of the choir, the candidate, the visit
ing clergymen and the Bishop.
The sermon was preached by the
Rev. George W. Atkinson, of st. Mat
thew's church, Sunbury. and was Il
very mastery effort. The discourse was
founded on st. Matthew. l1th chapter
and 10th verse: Behold l send my
messenger before thy face, which shall
prepare thy way before thee. -
Only IA brief synopsis of the sermon
can be given here.
The three great functions of a priest
are first or chiefly to offer day by day
the holy sacrifice of the body and blood
of Christ before the face of the Eternal
Father. Second, to declare and pro-
nounce to his people, being penitent,
the absolution and remission of their
sins. The third notable function of the
priesthood is to bless in Gods name
both people and things for holy uses
The charge to the candidate was
most beautiful. In part it was as fol-
lows: "You have served God IN the
Diaconate and now you hear his voice
saying to you: 'Hencefurth | call you
not servant or deacon but | have called
You friend; for all things that | have
heard of my Father have made known

DeHART IN QUARANTINE.

There was feeling of great dis
quietude on the south side yesterday
caused by the presence there, ON Tues
day, of Friday DeHart, the alleged
diphtheria victim of Bloomsbury, who
had fled from the latter place to avoid
quarantine. In one of the houses on
the south side that DeHart entered,
occupied by relative, it was stated
yesterday, there We're severcl children
and it is feared that the disease may
develop in them.
Our readers will be gratified to learn
that DeHart is back at his mothers
home safe in quarantine. From South
Danville Tuesday he proceeded up the
Pennsylvania tracks and when the sec
tion crew returned from work they
found him sitting along the track at
Little Roaring creek. They spoke to
him as they passed.but he made no re-
ply.
GesterdayLmorning: the Bloomsbury
board of health learned that DeHart
was near the double track bridge just
below the town. He was apprehended
at that place by Officer Fornwald and
Constable Betz and taken to the home
of his mother in Bloomsbury. The
place was Immediately placed under
quarantine
On Monday DeHart complained of
having sore throat DR.. Baker diagnos-
ed the aiment as diphtheria and Motif
ed the secretary of the board Of health.
Or. ]. E. Shuman, who later concur
red in the opinion that DaHart was
suffering from a well-jefned case of
diphtheria.
DeHart, however, insisted that he
only had an attack of quinsy and left
his mothers house before the quaran-
tine card could be put up.

MONTHLY REPORT
OF D|SPENSARY

The report of the tuberculosis dis
pensary of this city to the State depart
ment of health presents the usual in
teresting array of figures and shows
that little Montour is most admirably
sustaining its warfare on the Great
White Plague.
No patients We're admitted during
the past month; neither We're any dis
charged. Thirty-four patients are I'M
der treatment-tifteen males and nine
teen females. There were no deaths
There were thirty-siX return visits.
In twelve there was an increase of
weight; in nineteen the weight re-
manned unchanged; in three there was
asloss of weight. Only one patient was
taking medicine during the month
The nurse made twenty-five visits
Seventeen patients received milk, of
which 42O quarts We're ordered Fiji
teen patients received eggs, of which
12Sl3 dozens were ordered.
The above figures bring home to one
in a very forcible way the full extent
of the ravages of tuberculosis. We
would no doubt be much shocked to
learn that we had in this district that
number Of cases of any other disease,
even, if less fatal in form. Yet the
above number represents only the in
digent, those without means to pro-
cure proper food and treatment and
represents in all probability not more
than half the number afflicted with
tuberculosis i'll this immediate vicin-

THE PLANET MARS.

There has been much discussion about
town during the few nights past over
a star of phenomenal brightness that
appears in the eastern heavens. The
star far outshines any other star in
the sky, which fact somehow has sug-
gested the theory that it is IAN elec-
trio light that Mr. Edison has put up
in the sky"
The bright star is the planet Mars.
The reason why it is so bright Just
now is that it is nearer the earth than
it has been since 1892, being at present
less than half the distance of the sun.
Some astronomers are of the opinion
that Mars is inhabited like the earth.

ONE-THIRD OF CROP.

A farmer from Rush township. in
Dmville yesterday, stated that III that
section potatoes would not yield more
than one-third of crop. Under the
circumstances it was his opinion that
the price of potatoes, which is now
one dollar per bushel, will not fall. but
will rather rise as the season adj
vances.
a popularity of the potato crop this
season is that the potatoes are not
small in size, but as rule are large.
Only one or two, however, are found
ON stalk, so tnat large acreage pro-
duces comparatively IA small yield.

Standing of the Clubs.

Those of us who like to be inside the
gates when the game is exciting GER
tainly had an overflowing measure of
superlative agitation during the thir-
teen stages of Saturdays to 3contest
between the rear and van guards of
the Susquehanna league.
The outpouring of enthusiasm grip
ped everybody at the game and toward
the end when the two teams were run
ming neck and neck, neither side able
to gain an advantage, the infection of
excitement spread to even the gray
boards and the ladies. Men with snow
white hair counted one. two, three
with the swings of Morris bat and
the dear ladies, who are among the
best patrons of the great game i'll Dan
vile. went home TO fry two baggers
and strike outs for belated supper.
1t was case of over confidence that
was likely responsible for Danville not
taking the game. The forecasters had
figured it out that Danville would have
smooth voyage To victory, and as a
result a shift was made in the line up
which proved disastrous, Berwick hav-
ing their three runs presented to them,
all unmerited. But be it to the credit
of the Danville team, when they saw
the game on the toboggan things
tightened up to such degree that not
again were the opponents allowed TO
tally although their determined and
aggressive playing number of times
gave things hazardous aspect.
In the field Berwick put up game
worth going miles to see. BY brilliant
work Savage'S boys maintained their
lead until the sixth, when Danville
scored twice and tied the game After
that it was blank for both sides for
seven innings. Twice Danville pushed
Il man as far as third, but each time
Berwick STAYED off defeat by retiring
the side before the plate was crossed.
Once, in the twelfth, Berwick got a
man on the third station, but he was
left to kick up his heels there while "A
line drive to Coveleskie retired the
side.
Berwick played dandy, first class
game. They were right ont to win
from the start. and all the time every
man of the nine was on his toes They
gave Danville one of the biggest sur
prises of the season-all credit to them
Blockus pitched good, heady game
Six Of the hits made off his delivery
We're made in the fifth and sixth in
nings. The rest We're scattered and
availed nothing.
For Danville, things broke badly
Especially the sixth. In this innings
two singles, Il two bagger and three
bagger and base on balls could only
be made to score two runs, when at
least twice that number should have
! tailed.

THAT AWFUL FIRST.

The first innings, when Berwick
scored their three, is most an awful
hard luck story. Just listen. Ash struck
out, taking his third swing on a wild
pitch and reaching first. Meyer bunt-
ed in front of the plate and got first
when zimmerman failed to field the
ball in time Fisher laid Il slow one
down toward third base which went in
the catalogue as scratch hit. This
loaded the cushions While Morris was
at bat Rowe threw to Hess to catch
Ash. the throw being wild and Ash
scoring. Morris went out on ground
cr to Umlauf Blockus struck out but
while he was at bat a passed ball scored
Meyer With Savage at bat pitched
ball struck the front edge of the plate
bounding high III the air. allowing
Fisher to tally Savage i'll the mean
while took his base on balls, but the
carnage was ended by Evans sending
one to Rowe and going down.
After the first Berwick tried in vain
to score. Only one more hit did they
get and but once in the last twelve
