A Sneak Thiefs Bold Trick.

A well dressed stranger called at the
home of Postmaster 7. J. Price just be-
tore noon yesterday and asked to see
the lady of the house. Mrs. Price was
occupied up stairs and the stranger who
was admitted by Florence, the daught-
er, said he would wait in the hall until
Mrs. Price came down. Miss Florence
stepped into another room and from
there saw the stranger examine several
umbrellas in the rack, finally appropri-
ating an elegant silver mounted one
with a pearl handle after which he tipto-
ed out the house, quietly closed the
door after him and skipped.
Miss May James saw the man pass
her fathers store and minute or SO
later Master Edward Price came up with
story of the theft, but not until the
man had disappeared. Just about that
time Mr.. James delivery wagon came in
and the merchant accompanied by his
daughter and Master Edward Price
mounted the wagon and started in pur-
suit. They visited two depots and
were on their way to Riverside when
near the other end of the bridge they
ran across the man wanted with the um-
brella under his arm.
The fellow made no denial, but
promptly handed over the umbrella. Mr.
James told him to consider himself un-
der arrest, but he begged so hard that
he was finally permitted to 60 his way.

Eight Hundred Mile Drive.

Among the sojourners in this city ov-
er Sunday were Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Saw
age of Chazy, n. V, who are driving to
the Shenandoah valley, Virginia. They
arrived in this city very tired Saturday
night having covered less than one. half
of their long journey of eight hundred
or thousand miles.
Mr.. Savage has two large strong hors-
es and a comfortable covered wagon
which answers as home for the travel
ers during their long trip. While here
they camped in the vacant livery stable
at the rear of s. +. Ricketts, store, but
Mr.. Savage says that when suitable he
prefers to camp out of doors where he
sleeps perfectly secure guarded by a
large and faithful watchdog which ac-
companies the wagon.
On July 4th Mr.. and Mrs. Savage
stopped at Plymouth, Luzerne county,
to celebrate the day. They were two
days covering the distance between that
place and Danville. The distance trav-
eled per day, Mr.. Savage says, varies
from twenty to thirty-five miles accord
ing to the degree of heat and the condi-
ton of the roads
Mr.. Savage says he is in no hurry, as
his object is to see the country and en-
joy the outing; otherwise he would have
travelled by rail. The climate of North
ern New York is too cold to suit his
taste and he expects to locate in the
Shenandoah Valley, where the winters
are less severe. 1t will be some two or
three weeks before they complete their
journey.

GOODRICH POST
WILL CAMP
A Two Weeks Outing at DeWitt's Park
Beginning July %.

DeWitt's Park during the next few
weeks through the efforts of Goodrich
Post, No. %, g. A. R., will afford some
thing entirely new and unique in the
line of entertainment. 1t will be grand
outing and picnic known as Post Camp
No %, beginning Tuesday, July %, and
continuing for two weeks.
Tents will be erected in the park and
the veterans will go into camp, living as
far as possible the life of their soldier
days over again. On the evenings of
July 26th and 9th and of July 3Oth and
August 3rd. there will a grand camp
fire, when several posts from neigh
boring towns will be present by invita-
ton.
The post has planned for general
accommodation of the public and our
citizens are invited to join with the
veterans in their outing. Five hundred
persons will be.provided for. large
dining tent to be erected will seat five
hundred at one time. Lodging also
will be provided, all that is asked being

can be had at all hours, will be furnish
ed at 25 cents. Lodging by the week
(six days. will cost 1875. In addition to
music and dancing, amusements of all

The camp will no doubt prove very
popular and it is expected that many
families who heretofore went down the
river or elsewhere camping will this year
join the veterans in their outing, as
thus they will not only be relieved
from the burden of providing for the
table and cooking, but they will also
have an opportunity of seeing some
thing of soldiers life and their meth
DDS of Willing away time when in camp
during the Civil war. The Post will be
obliged to 60 to considerable expense
and it asks for liberal support, not
only from all soldiers and sailors, but
from the general public. All the pro-

viewed the struggles, the derision and ill
treatment encountered and dwelt with
enthusiasm upon its final triumph, upon
the conversions made under the most
trying circumstances and its ultimate re-
cognition by persons of education, pro-
minence and wealth. She read the en-
dorsements of many distinguished peo-
pie, including Queen Victoria, Lady

FRESH AIR
CHARITY
Homes Found for Children in South Dan
vile and Riverside.

Some months ago a representative Of
the "New York Tribune" visited this
city and Interested several of our past
ors and others in the work of finding
homes for fresh air children from New
York city. As The AMERICAN at that
time stated the fresh air fund OF the
New York Tribune" takes the needy
children Of the big city out into the
country, but after they get there it is
necessary that homes should be found
for them.
The good people of South Danville
and Riverside have become very much
interested in the fresh air charity and
homes have been provided for large
number of little waits from New York,
who will arrive Wednesday next on
the 1915 train.
1t is difficult to imagine a worthier
charity than this same one which is
contained in caring for a comparatively
brief time, for some pale anaemic child
VI q biS Ol'y huO Io q slIhuScf W green
fields running brooks, the songs of birds
and all Of the delights of country life.
The people of Danville and Riverside
have been asked to entertain in their
homes during the latter part of July
some of the fresh air children and we
feel sure that this community will main
tain its reputation for the possession of
people with kindly hearts who are will
ing and ready to do what they can to
put little sunshine into the life of a
child who it may be, has never known
what the sunshine of human happiness
really is. If the man who feeds starv.
ing dog gets pleasure from the pleasure
he gives the dog, how great should be
the measure of happiness an individual
can get from the reflected happiness of
the life of fresh air child during his
brief stay in the country.
