Lewisburg Politics----Republican. Chronicle. Local and County Tribnte to Miss Fruit, by Her Former Pastor, Rev. A. B.

Collins. The death of Miss Lucretia Fruit marks the passing of a remarkable life. It is given to but very few to live for four score and ten and five years, and to be privileged to witness such world and national progress in social, commercial, political, scientific and religious development. At the time of her birth stoves were still a novelty and had been installed in but few homes, coal used as fuel was unknown, railways as a means of conveyance were not yet thought of of, gas as an illuminant had not come into being, and the later discoveries of more recent years such as the telegraph, telephone, electric lighting and the marvels of electricity were not yet conceived of even in dreams. When Miss Fruit was born Napoleon was still active in his planning of world conquests and had not yet met his Waterloo.

George IV was the ruler of Great Britain, her lifetime covered his reign as well as that of William IV and Queen Victoria and that of Edward VII up to the present. She lived under the presidency of every president of the United States save that of Washington, Adams and Jefferson, and in the lifetime of every president with the single exception of Washington. She saw the country grow from the few sparsely settled colonies along the Atlantic coast to the world power reaching from ocean to ocean with its possibly ninety millions of inhabitants. The Presbyterian church with which she was so closely identified was at the beginning of her life few in congregations and small in membership, but at the time of her death was composed of about ten thousand separate congregations with a membership of 1,325,000 and a Sabbath School membership of 1,206,000. The Home Mission Work of that church, to which she devoted so much of her talent and energy, was in her early girlhood not yet inaugurated in any general sense, in the year of her death there was expended in that department of church activity $1,541,000 that the gospel of Jesus Christ might be carried to those of our own land who are less favored with gospel privileges.

But aside from her remarkable life as measured by years and the history that is crowded into those years, her religious life is worthy of remembrance. Lacking the opportunity and privilege of many because of defective eye sight she yet acquired a remarkable knowledge of God's Word and in practice en deavored to evidence its power. Limited by human frailty she exemplified an unshaken faith, an abiding trust, and an unfaltering hope; she knew whom she had believed and was persuaded that He was able to keep that which she had committed to him. In a conversation which it was our privilege to have with her a little more than a year ago, she evidenced the same interest and zeal in the Master's kingdom that it had been her wont to manifest more actively before the' infirmities of age began to weigh so heavily upon her. As one faithful in Israel, she fell asleep and with the clearer vision of the redeemed soul at home will know even as she is known.

Her constancy to truth as she believed it, her zeal in the Lord's house and for the Master's kingdom should encourage us who bear the burden and heat of the day to faint not, but to press on for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

At almost every point there is good skating from shore to shore, on ice clear as crystal and from eight to twelv inches thick. The best 8 ing Medium gressive Mere News a Specialty J.

A. STOBER FOUND DEAD. Heart Trouble Kills Pennsylvania Treasurer Elect. State Treasurer-Elect Jeremiah A. Stober was found dead in bed by his wife at his home in Schoeneck, in the northern end of Lancaster county, Monday morning.

His wife arose and when she went down to prepare breakfast Mr. Stober was resting comfortably. After she had prepared the meal she went up stairs to call him, but no response and found him dead He had evidently been dead for half an hour. The coroner and a physician were summoned, and they pronounced his death due to an affection of the heart.

MARY DERR WRITES. The City of Canton -The Boat Houses--Old Water Clock. ON BOARD S. S. BETWEEN CANTON AND HONG KONG.

Nov. 15, 1909. We went from Shanghai to Hong Kong on an English ship. It took two days and three nights. Arrived at beautiful Hong Kong, a bright, clear morning, and the city on the hillside with its fine buildings, in arcade style, and good roads, make it one of the best places we have seen.

Lovely gardens and "fine shops" as the English say. Canton is 90 miles from Hong Kong, by boat, no railroads. It was a delightful trip. No run on Sunday, so we stayed until this morning, and it will hurry uS to be ready for the "Princess Alice," North German Lloyd steamer, and the finest ship that comes to the Orient. We go to Shanghai Wednesday, and most of the people we knew on the will meet on the "'Princess Alice," and chat over our varied experience.

It will be like meeting old friends, and any American is a friend in this strange country. Canton is a walled city, 31 miles square. Our guide, Ah Ou, told us, 24 millions of people, 150,000 live in bamboo boats and float about like fish. They know no other home than their little boats. The middle part is covered with matting and serves as bedroom, dining room, parlor and den, (all smoke.) Their dishes are rice bowls and chop-sticks, tea kettle and rice pot.

They mix fish, vegetables, meat and rice all together. They market on a string, never wrap 'in paper. Streets are only 4, 5, 7 and 12 feet wide, houses narrow and close together, whole families in the hack of a little shop. Such dense masses of humanity as Chinese cities have, is a sight to behold. Touch them not, is our first thought.

They live and work, make the most beautiful broca le silks in these dingy, dirty, little dens, carve ivory, make jewelry of Kingfisher birds feathers, so fine and delicately are the feathers imbedded in silver and gold wires, that you would not know they were feathers if you had not seen the poor fellows going blind over the artistic work. Their sight ouly lasts a few years at this work. The embroideries are beautiful and are on silk, satin, grass cloth and lin en. They are artists in bronze and brass work. Li Hung Chang's home at Shanghai contains his statute in bronze, with the jacket of his Mandarin coat in gold erected by his admirers.

His home is a fine palace, and he had three in 1 different cities. We had our luncheon in a fine Mandarin club house in Canton, and the long climb of stone steps gave uS our best view of the city. The nine story Flower Pagoda is the highest building in the city, but the steps have given away after 605 years of use, so no one is allowed to go up. The old water clock, the first in China, is still used to tell the ing time. Every hour a board i is changed in the tower and time is measured by drops of water, SO drops per minute from three por celain pots or jars, the largest at the top.

At the end of 24 hours the top one must be refilled, and after 800 years use, it seems in shape to go on forever and defy old Father Time. The Roman Catholic church is the finest buildin the Canton. All the legations are on an island together. At 9 p.m., a bugle announces the closing of the big iron gates on the bridge to the old and native city, for on the narrow, crowded streets a European is not safe after night. The bugle call opens the gates at 6 a.

and at that hour the population in boats is aroused to activity. The street scenes interest me most of all, for it is there we find the strangest mixtures. EVERYTHING AS ADVERTISED. At the Great January Clearance Sale at Rice's Department Store, Sunbury, Pa. $20,000 worth of stock at sale prices.

In his endeavor to take food to his wife and children, William Kreamer, residing near Globe Mills, Snyder county, was frozen to death Saturday, his body remaining in the field over night, until found by his son.

The home larder was empty, and Kreamer walked to the village, four miles away, to purchase food. With a bag of potatoes on one shoulder and a sack of flour on the other, he started to walk home. The weight of the provisions fatigued him, and he decided to lesson the journey by traveling through the fields. As he trudged on he weakened under the load, finally fell exhausted, only to freeze to death.

COURT PROCEEDINGS ONLY TWO SMALL CASES BEFORE GRAND JURORS I SHORT SESSION NEW RULES ADOPTED BY THE COURT- -BRIDGE CO. CASE FILED. The several courts opened on Monday last, being the 10th day of January, with Hon. H. M.

McClure, president judge, and Hon. George M. Engelhart and Hon. W. W.

Brown associates, on the bench. Amos Scott was appointed foreman of the grand jury; all grand jurors present except P. B. Wolfe and W. E.

Yarger. C. C. Catherman, of Hartleton, was excused. The tollowing grand jurors were excused: Prof.

F. E. Rock wood, Prof. Lindeman, Chas. Schlutman, Harris Fegley and J.

B. Weidenhammer. The constables were sworn as to their returns which developed nothing new or strange. Philip Eisley, Alfred Engleman, John Ruhl, P. S.

Walter were appointed tipstaves for the week of court. The grand jurors were all discharged at 10.45 on Monday forenoon, there having been only two small cases before them for sideration, one being the case of the commonwealth against Jacob Spacht, charge Leing assault and battery, and a case of the commonwealth against Herbert Killian in which Killian was charged by the prosecutor with the crime of fornication and bastardy. A true bill was found in each of these cases. In the case of commonwealth against Herbert Killian the jury returned a verdict of acquittal, the only evidence for the commonwealth being that of the prosecutrix, Vernie May Smith. which was very meagre.

In the case of monwealth against the defendant, Spacht, in which his son-in-law, W. W. Oakes, was the prosecutor, the defendant pleaded guilty. The court wanted to know something of the nature of this case and told the prosecutor to go on the witness stand and under oath to tell what had really happened. Oaks said that he had placed several rabbit traps on the State's land in Hartley township, that he went out to see what kind of luck he had and while having his head down and looking closely into the trap a sud den rap on his head with a club startled him.

He looked about and saw the defendant, Spacht, standing there. Spacht was then called to give his side of the story. He claimed that he had set some rabbit traps on the same land and that every time he went to look at his traps he found that they had been tampered with. On this especial occasion he thought he would go out early in the morning and try to find out who interfered with his traps. It not yet being daylight, he secreted himself behind a tree and awaited results.

It was not long until he saw the prosecutor, Oakes, carefully approaching the trap belonging to him, Spacht, and stooping down to see what might be in it. While in this stooping position he let him have the force of a stick on his head. The court sentenced the defendant to pay the costs. In the estate of Miss Caroline McClure, late of Lewisburg, the executor, Hamilton B. Humes was discharged from his trust.

DEATH OF DANIEL METZGAR REED.

Our correspondent (whose decease is noted below,) was the oldest son of John and Catharine Reed, of Lewisbnrg, where he was born in 1833-enlisted with Capt. Telford, in Bradford county--and fell in the same action with his brave commander, Gen. I. I. Stevens.

We know not of a truer, more unselfish volunteer in this war against despotic Oppression, than this much lamented youth. In camp, he was a model of faithfulness- and morality, sent home his earnings regularly, and in private letters evinced the most estimable traitsiof the man and the Christian. Camp near Alexandria, Sept. 3, 1862. My dear Friends Our poor DANIEL has finished his work in this life, dying gloriously while fighting for the country he so loved.

He was shot through the temples and fell, ou Monday evening, 1st about two miles from Centerville. I had a chance to meet him about a week previous: he was then well and in good spirits, and we expected to march together for a time. Yet I hope to meet him above, where all is love, and there is no sorrow and sickness, pain or death. We may be cut down at any moment, and if it is my lot to fall may it be as a true soldier both of our country and our God. I have got away from our regiment, having a bad diarrhoea, and ain now with Moyer's Company.

John Winegardner and all the boys are well. I left George Snyder sick near Fredericksburg. Yesterday, was glad to see Doctors Wilson, Loomis, and Gerhart, but did not know of my great loss, which is told me by George Foote and Levi Ammons, who were in the same corps with brother, and ate well.
