There are few people in Pottsville who have not at some time within the past forty years bought farm produce or garden truck from Mrs. Caroline Hollo-bush, who came from down in the neighborhood of the "Seven Stars."

May her declining years be attended with peace, plenty and happiness is the wish of her old customers. Chronicle.

Fires caused by overheated furnaces and nues, the latter of which are often found to be too nearly in contact with inflammable wood-work are becoming alarmingly frequent. Iue authorities in Philadelphia have become aroused to the necessity of a thorough inspection of the heating arrangements the public school buildings, since panics have occurred owing to well-founded alarm from fires which, although readily extinguished, indicate serious danger. An ninee of prevention is better than a pound of cure. The county superintendent issued circular to the teachers throughout this county requesting them to take a col lection towards supporting the public schools in the flooded district. In pur snant to this call, Mr.

Wheeler, principal of our borough schools, collected the following amounts: High school, jf.J.12; grammar, sub grammar, secondary, primary, total, $8.28. When we take into consideration the large amount forwarded from here to Johnstown right after the flood, this is a very good showing. How Our Churches will Celebrate Christmas.

The Sabbath Question.

Last Sunday morning, Kev. Mr. Kynett spoke concerning the American Sabbath ond its Enemies, to a large congregation. He read the petitions lor the ounuay Rest Bill now urged before called attention to the fact that it was the Sabbath not as a religious but a civil institu tion which was in question. He declared that while there is no union ot church and state, this is a Christian nation, and that the common law is founded upon Christianity.

In support of this he reviewed the early history of the Republic and quoted from many eminent jurists, and read extracts from various Supreme court judicial decisions. He showed how the Continental Sunday had resulted in loss to the laboring men of Europe, and have in France and Germany. Earnest efforts are being made to protect the workingman from the greed of capitalists. That the process of degradation was holiday, holiday, work day, devil's day, and despot's day. He pointed to the faot that in England and America the work-iugmen were allying themselves in support of the Sabbath.

He showed his audience how railroads were coming to the view of a Sabbath observance in lessening transportation. He reviewed the forces antagonistic to the Sabbath, and those in favor, and predicted that ultimate victory would be with the friends of the Sabbath. He combat ted the idea that the obsei vance of the Sabbath as a civil day of rest interfered with the religious liberty of any man, and maintained that simply protected the debts of the Great majority of the nation from the invasion of a noisy and comparatively maienih- oant minority. The address seemed to command the olose attention of the audi-enoe. Mr.

Kynett will shortly take up the inertion of the obligations upon Christians to observe the day religiously.
