Three Things
Compel Interest,


It has the largest restaurant in the world.
1t has more restaurants. 1t has more
distinct system Of classification among its
restaurants. and 1t has a larger restau-
rant patronage than any other city. There
are scores of automats in which coin-in-
the-slot machines take the place of serv-
ants. there are hundreds of wine res
taurants in which one must pay for wine
with his food whether he drinks II or not
and there are thousands and thousands of
beer restaurants in which one must buy
beer.
1t is impossible to be served with beer
in a wine restaurant until after one has
already consumed a bottle of wine. In
the beer restaurants one must confine
himself to beer. There are restaurants
for army officers, restaurants for soldiers.
restaurants for aristocrats and restau-
rants for the proletariat.
These restaurants are always filled, and
II follows that Berlin is a very gay town.
Berliners, and some others, insist that
Paris is rather tame in comparison. Ger
tain II is that night life In the German
capital is as gay as even the gayest might
wish.

the beauty of the city. and which, at the

buildings mass has been the object sought

SUDDEN DEATH.

Mrs. w. A. Waters of Catha-
rine street, died on Wednesday
morning at four o'clock following
a paralytic stroke which came
about one o'clock Tuesday after
noon. She was unconscious from
the time of the stroke until she
died. She had been suffering from
Bright's disease for several months
but was no worse than usual. and
was alb out her work on Tuesday,
preparing the MONDAY meal for
the family.
On Friday while reading an ac-
count of a death from paralysis,
she made the remark that there
were so many deaths from paraly'
sis among young people that 1t
made her afraid. 1t seems almost
as though she may have had pre-
monition of what was to follow.
She was 36 years of age and is sur
vive1 by her husband and one
daughter, Florence, who resides at
home. She is also survived by
four brothers and two sisters. She
was daughter Of J. l.. Wagner OF
Berwick.

This week is civil court. On
Monday Judge Mcclure of Lewis
hurg arrived to preside specially in
the case of Geo. ]. Vanderslice

7. J. Vanderslice, Esqs., and the
defendant by w. II. Sponsler of

The trial ended on Tuesday with a

KILLED WHILE COASTING.

Cured last Thursday when Theo-
dore Giger, the welve-year-cld son
of Frank Giger, was killed on the
West Third Street hill.
After school closed at noon, he,
with a companion took his sled out

sled and ran into a culvert OF the
Bloomsbury & Sullivan Railroad,
He struck the side of it with his
forehead aud was thrown back IN
to the street. His companion, Paul
Eckenrote, was likewise thrown
but was unhurt.
The injured boy was carried to
the Office of DIR. A. w. Baker,
where he died in less than an hour.

LAST OF THE CANAL.

The sale Of several blocks Of
Pennsylvania canal per cent.
bonds, one block Of $40, 900 at 81
and another at q, has attracted
some attention to these bonds 81, :
o4S, 900 of which are outstanding
and in the hands of the public.
These bonds fall due in July of
this year and inquiry develops the
fact that there is not the remotest
possibility of the holders thereof re-
ceiving anything on the principal
of these bonds. The canal having
been abandoned the property be-
comes disintegrated through sales
of portions until there remains to-
day in the way of tangible property
upon which these bonds are lien
toll bridge across the Susquehanna
from ClArk's Ferry to Duncan's Is
land and dam at Muncy with
detached pieces of property here
and there, including the Nanticoke
dam.
Holders OF the bonds have been
receiving their interest regularly
under an Endorsement on the bonds
that the Pennsylvania railroad will
purchase the interest coupons when
due upon presentation. These ma
tured and purchased coupons now
in the hands of the Pennsylvania
railroad amount in the aggregate
to more than $1,000, 900, which is
more than could possibly be realiz-
ed from the property remaining,
and, as they take precedence to the
bonds themselves. it is not difficult
to see where tn, bondholders stand
with regard to their principal.

and only child of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Ludwig of 333 West Fifth
Street of Bloomsbury. died on Fri
day evening, February II, 1910,
at S:45 o'clock. after an illness of
only few days duration, aged one
year and ten days. The death of
the child was very sad affair for
the family and unexpected. 1t
took sick with a slight cold, and a
doctor was promptly summoned
and its condition at the start was
not at all considered serious. The
Young member was the sunbeam Of
the household. The funeral was
held on Tuesday morning After
brief services at the home at nine
O'Clock the cortege proceeded to
Emanuel's Reformed Church, at
Dutch Hill, where the services
were concluded and the remains
laid to rest in the cemetery adjoin-
ing. The services were in charge
of Rev. w. J. Kohler of Strawber
ry Ridge and were very impressive.
A quartette of the Bloomsbury Re-
formed Church rendered several
beautiful and appropriate selections
at the home. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful.

AN APPRECIATED HONOR.

Geo. F.. Elwell, editor of this
paper, desires to express his high
appreciation of the support given
him at the polls on Tuesday, for
the office of School Dii ector.
At the outset he reluctantly per-
mitted his name to 60 before the
caucus as candidate, aud that
with the distinct understanding
that he would make no personal
effort to secure his election. To
this he strictly adhered. He did
not ask single voter to vote 70.
him, he did not send a worker to
the polls in his behalf, nor in any
manner resort to any methods of
the politician to secure his election.
He contented himself with simply
making an announcement in the
papers that if elected he would give
to the office his best efforts.
He therefore feels tha. the hand
some vote given him was an un-
solicited expression Of confidence,
and his election he accepts as an
honor and compliment which is
highly satisfactory to him in every
way, and of which he has the keen
est sense of appreciation.
He fully realizes the good work
of his friends who were interested
in his behalf, and to all such he
extends his heartfelt thanks

wood, who formed a friendship at
the trial, took southern pleasure
trip and reached Washington, d.
c., on the return from Jacksonville,
Fla, on last week Wednesday.
The startling news was received
by relatives in Berwick on Thurs
day that Mr.. Henrie had been kill
ed in a hotel fire in Washington,
and that his wife and daughter
were suffering from shock. Sever
al kilograms we're received before
the final one came announcing Mr..
Henrie's death.
The story of the fire and the
manner i'll which Mr.. Henrie met
his shocking death, is told in let
ter written by Mr.. Sherwood to
Mr.. Henric's daughter at Berwick,
the letter being written Thursday
morning before the death of Mr..
Henrie. 1t follows in part:
1T is bad news I have to write.
Be brave and look to God for COM
fort. Do not give way, any of you.
Your father is seriously hurt. He
is in the hospital here at Washing
ton and l have provided for the
best nurse and physicians. Fire
broke out in our hotel last night
and we all had to climb down the
fire escape in our night clothes,
leaving all our possessions behind
in our rooms. The fire when dis.
covered had cut off our escape to
the elevator and stairway. Your
father, with little Frieda in his
arms, mounted the ladder first and
l followed, your mother followed
me and then Mrs. Sherwood.
When your father reached the bot
tom part of the fire escape, which
is held up by weight and was
supposed to lower and let him
reach the ground, the thing was
out of order ard would not work
in the pulley wheel.
"He held Frieda out and called
for help. A fireman climbed up
and ran up the ladder when the
rope broke and something gave
way and let him fall a distance of
about twenty or thirty feet, strik-
ing on his left shoulder and head.
He has been in the hospital since
and has undergone an operation.
l think you had better be prepared
for most any news. He has not
been conscious since the fall.
"None of your peoples clothes
or belongings were burned. Mrs.
Sherwood and l lost our clothes,
money, etc. We all escaped in our
night clothes. There were about
100 guests at the hotel. who escap-
ed the same way. l understand
there were some others slightly
injured.
''Of course your mother and
Frieda are suffering some from
shock and Frieda was some hurt.
but we hope not seriously. I'll
stay by them and do all that can
be done. God bless you.
Sincerely,
