Tumultuous Noise and Quiet
Prayers Usher in New Year

Noise and din of all kinds, from
the squeak of the small horn to- the
long drawn out notes of factory and
engine whistles, welcomed the infant
1917 as midnight bells tolled the death
knell of 1916.
In direct contrast to the hilarity
and tumultuous cheers were the quiet
prayers and majestic notes of organ
numbers as thousands of church men,
bers greeted the New Year in a more
decorous fashion.
Clear and cold, the weather con-
ditions were perfect for one big cele-
bration. AS it was Sunday night, re-
straint was in evidence, but when the
hour and minute hand were one,
pointing to the IL at the top of the
clock dial, the ceiebrators let loose. Au-
tomobile horns croaked and wheezed,
whistles footed. bells tolled and for ten
minutes the racket kept up. swelled
by Joyous yells and cheers from the
throats of thousands.
Shortly after the church congrega-
tions poured out, adding to the throngs
already filing the streets Mummers
were in evidence, many of whom were
in the parade this afternoon.
To-day the celebration continued,
but not quite so noisily as the first ten
minutes of 1917. Two parades. q din
ner to 200 boys by the Rotary Club
and q number of social events for the
evening are included In the program
to herald in the New Year. The banks.
many city and county offices and a
large majority of business houses
were closed; special hours were in
order at the Post Office. and the city
in general turned out for a big time
and the closing celebration of the
Christmas holiday season.
Happy New Year. Same to you
and many more of 'em." and scores of
other greetings of the season were
heard on all sides. In homes. over tele-
phones and in the streets. A clouded
sky and snow fiurrtes in the morning
did not interfere with the folks. who
all said January 1. 1917, was the Hap
piest New Year" to date.

HORRIBLE DEATH

the mercury registering twenty below
zero, the water in the hydrants about
the building was frozen and little
could be done to stay the progress of
the flames. News OF the tragedy was
slow in reaching here owing to lack
of direct wire communication.
According to the advices received
here. many of the girls who fled in
terror from the scene were located
by villagers who took them to their
homes.
Thirty girls who were students at a
convent adjoining the asylum, which
also was burned, are said to have had
narrow escapes.
No Outside Aid
Quebec. Jan. sisters of Charity
were without outside aid in rescuing
inmates of the St Ferdinand de Hall
fax Insane Asylum at St. Ferdinand
de Halifax, Megantic county, when
fire destroyed the building late Satur-
day night, resulting in the death of
forty-five women inmates and one
sister. The old building was in a re-
mote district, far from other habita-
tions and not a single man reached
the place until after the forty-five
women had perished and the sisters
had saved the remaining 135 inmates
and thirty girls attending a school
conducted in a wing of the structure.
a high wind spread the flames
quickly. The sister who lost her life
was trying to save inmates.
Loss 100000
Advices received here to-day indi-
Gated that the loss would not exceed
100000. The cause of the fire was
not known.
There was much suffering, as the
night was intensely cold. After the
flannel had reached all parts of the
building, so that no further attempts
at saving lives could be made, the sis
ters turned their attention to caring
for the survivors. There was some
difficulty in controlling the inmates,
but finally they and the girls were
sheltered by the sisters in the hospital
buildings a short distance away. The
building was owned by the Quebec
branch of the Sisters of Charity BY
arrangement with the government it
was maintained as a regular govern
ment establishment for the care of in
sane women. The fighting facilities
were slight and the water pipes were
frozen.

Mule Chews Tobacco; Is
Learning to Hunt Rabbits

st. Louis. Mo, Jan. 1.-An Illinois
mule is being taught to trail rabbits.
Her name is Queen and she is owned by
Andrew Miller. young farmer living
wardsville.
Queen chews tobacco as we'll as any
old tar. She probably acquired the habit
while on hunting expeditions with Mil
Ter and his friends. The mule when
colt was taught number of tricks.
This fall when the hunting season
opened she was allowed to follow the
hunters where ever they went. One day
Miller sat down his can of tobacco,
Queen upset the can and devoured the
contents. Now she eats tobacco in pref
erence to sugar.

Pennsy Sells All Its
Hard Coal Properties
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, July 1S.-The Penn
sylvania Railroad Company to-day
announced that it has sold all its an
thracite mining properties and col
lieries to NJ. A. Hanna e. Company,
Cleveland. The terms of the sale
were not made public.
The sale is one of the most i'm
portant transfers of anthracite coal
properties in recent years and is the
result of a determination of the
Pennsylvania railroad several years
ago to divest itself of interests not
directly concerned in the transpor-
tation service. The greater part of
the company's hard coal property
was operated by the Susquehanna
Coal Company, whose entire capital
stock was owned by the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad. The company mined
about five per cent. of the entire
anthracite production.

GOVERNOR HAS
OPPORTUNITY TO
SAVE LITTLE BOY
Upper End Hopes He Will
Sign Bill Carrying Small
Appropriation

Lykens. July 1s.-The whole up
per end of the county is hoping Gov
ernor Brumbaugh will sign the bill
for the education of little George
Watkeys, son of poor worker
about the mines.
Little George is aged only eleven
and he is deaf, dumb and blind
Sickness in his early infancy robbed
him Of every means of communica-
ton with the outside world. Unless
he is given the education he requires
at the hands of specialists in a
short time, his mind will turn blank
and he will become a hopeless idiot
physicians say.
The State makes provision for the
education of its blind and its deaf,
but strange to say there is no place
for the deaf, dumb and blind, so
special appropriation is necessary.
A few years ago Representative
William S. Tunis got through the
Legislature a bill for the appropria-
ton of money for the education of
little Kathryn Frick, of Harris
burg, who was in the same plight
in which little George Watkeys now
finds himself. The Legislature every
two years since has renewed the
appropriation and as a result Kath-
ryne is rapidly becoming a second
Helen Keller. She not only can read
Braille and write with a pen but she
has learned to talk and to operate
a typewriter. She has been saved
from idiocy and transformed into a
bright little girl. happy and useful.
Senator Beidleman discovered
little George Watkeys on one of his
visits to the upper end and it was he
who put the bill for his education
through the Legislature. The people
of the uper end are looking to Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, whose love of
children is we'll known and whose
hobby is education, to see to it that
little George gets his chance.

Prince Eitel, Cabbage
Eater, Blows Up Home
He First Pillaged


Paris, July 1S.-Andre Chevalier,
special correspondent of the Intran-
sigent at the French front, gives a
few side lights on the life of Prince
Eitel Friedrich.
During his sojourn at Avricourt,
in the Disc, the Kaiser's son resided
at the chateau of Comte Balny
d Avricourt. In the moments when
he was not hiding his ponderous
form in a shellproof dugout COM
municating with the grounds of the
chateau by a subterranean passage
this fat, red-faced man with a huge
paunch consumed quantities of cab
bage."
He lived a quiet life," adds Mr.
Chevalier, land was troubled once
only by a visit from his blusterine
father.
In his solitary walks across the
country the princes only compan-
ions were melancholy and a dog.
sometimes he would take a spade
and stolidly turn the ground, per-
haps in the hope of finding buried
treasure to add to the wagonloads
of furniture he already had sent
far from the dangers of lombard
ment.
1T was an atavism. no doubt, or
perhaps precautionary measure,
for some months after, when the
princely furniture mover left the
chateau, it blew up, as if by mere
chance. with what was allowed to
remain there.
This was the princes grateful
method of paying his bill, and, as
the European edition of the Herald
has announced, Mr.. Dubois, the pro
prietor of chateau in the neighbor-
hood of Compiegne. which was
methodically pillaged by the Kaiser's $
son, has laid a formal charge of
theft with the French authorities
against Prince Eitel."
