IMPROVING ON NATURE.
Horticulturists Would Grow Universal
Fruit Trses.


For years the scientific gardener
has been gathering apples from pear
trees and picking cherries and dam
sons off tie same branches, and,
though the quest of the black talip
has sofar been in vain, the blue rose,
we are told, has at last arrived at
Kew gardens. Years ago, says the
st. James Gazette, horticulurists
were interested in the announcement
that a nurseryman at Essy, in Sla-
vonica, had secured a wild rose from
Eeryia which was said to give blooms
Of a deep violet blue, and that, after
two years Of cultivation, the rose re-
tanned its color. But there is still
an uncertainty whether the blue tint
was natural or produced by chemical
means, infrthe same way as another
horticulturist is known to have pro-
duced a black rose. Most people will
be content, no doubt, with the
red rose that sweetly blooms in
june and nobody will very much
deplore the failure Of the efforts to
produce roses of black, or blue, or
green or any other unnatural color.
More pardonable, perhaps, is the
hobby Of the man who would grova
universal fruit tree. Even this, Of
course, is contrary to all the laws Of
nature, and ought by natural law to
be abolished. But there is a farmer
in Herefordshire who insists, it is
said, on gathering-not grapes from
thistles, but pears and plums and p-
Piles from cherry trees. Many years
ago the enterprising farmer grated
these alien fruits on to his cherry
trees, and by careful cultivation the
four branches have been brought 10
full fruition. Many Of the yisitorsto

ARRESTED FOR
PEDDLINC
William Stevens of Williamsport Comes to
Grief

1t is not often of late that a peddler
attempts to ply his vocation in Dan
vile, but now and then one attempts
1t and comes to grief. Our borough
fathers having i'll view the protection
OF our local merchants who pay rent
and help to support the municipality
enacted borough ordinance requiring
peddlers to pay a license tax of $5
per day except in such cases where
the goods are of their own manufact-
ure or are bought of our home merch-
ants.
Before the enactment of this ordin-
ance peddling was carried on extens-
lively in Danville. The peddler, general
ly from some other town, who was
not burdened with the expense of rent
and the like found it an easy matter
to undersell our regular dealers, whose
trade suffered very much in conse-
quence.
The last person who had the tenn
Gritty to attempt peddling in Danville
without a license was an individual
hailing from Williamsport who gave
his name as William Stevens. His grip
sack contained spoons and watches be-
sides liniment of the peddler's own
manufacture represented as a cure for
a variety of ailments.
Officer Voris detected the fellow and
took him into custody The hearing
was held before Justice Bare last
evening. The penalty, five dollars,
was imposed, the costs amounting to
two dollars additional.

Stolen Brass Recovered.

Jacob Engle, Polish Jew, was ar
raigned before Justice of the-Peace
Bare Tuesday afternoon.
For some time past thieves have been
at work in this section robbing freight
cars of the brass valves belonging to
the Westinghouse air brake. Quite re-
Gently valves were stolen from the
brake on several cars at the Reading
Iron Company's works, this city. This
circumstance led the railroad detec-
tives to Danville. Tuesday Coal and
Iron Policemen Pursley and Simmons
of the P & R. railway armed with a
warrant made search of several
houses i'll the Third Ward.
On the premises of Jacob Engle,
Hemlock street, number Of valves,
such as those stolen, were found. Engle,
who is a junk dealer, said he had
bought these, some of them as late as
last week. He was unable, however,
to state of whom he had purchased
the brass.
Engle was arrested under the act of
1899, which is calculated to reduce
the stealing of brass to the minimum.
Its provisions oblige every junk dealer
to keep a record of all brass bought,
showing the date and of whom it was
purchased, together with the number
of pounds and the price paid per
pound. Under the act the dealer is
not permitted to purchase brass of any
irresponsible or suspicious persons.
Engle had failed to live up to the
provision of the law. He was held for
court III $500 bail.

A Workman's bad Injury.

Joseph Caddy, an employe in the
blacksmith shop of the Danville
Rolling Mill, was badly injured in an
accident Monday forenoon. A heavy
bar of iron on which the men We're at
work was being shifted by means of a
crane when the latter gave way and
with the iron fell, striking Caddy.
The man was borne to the ground
under the weight, sustaining bad
bruise on the back of the head at the
base of the skull, and also upon the
left leg between the knee and the
ankle. 1t was some time before he
fully regained consciousness. DR..
Wintersteen, who responded to a call,
drove Caddy to his home near the Fair
ground and gave him what surgical
attention he required.

Danville Rolling Mill Started Up.

The nine double furnaces of the
Danville Rolling mill We're lighted up
Sunday and Monday the plant will
start up in full Arrangements We're
made to begin operation OH Wednes-
day last but the management was dis
appointed of receiving a lot of materi-
al essential to running and therefore
was obliged to defer lighting up.
Mr.. Mallon Sunday stated that
100 men will be needed to operate the
plant. He is still in need of a few
puddlers, but beyond these, hands
have already been employed for every
department William Address and
George Rodenhoffer have accepted
positions as puddle bosses, the former
on the day and the latter on the night
turn. Peter Keller and Harry Lud-
low have been employed as engineers.
Mr.. Mallon states that the plant
from the start will be run on double
turn with the probability that i'll a
short time it will be put on three
turns The latter, indeed, would be
quite an innovation i'll this section, as
probably nowhere east of the Allegheny
Mountains are mills run on more than
two turns
Among other improvements contem-
plated at the plant in the near future
is the installment of a 3-high set Of
rolls. This improvement, Mr. Mallon
says, will no doubt facilitate rolling
to such an extent as to make three
turns practicable. At all events, he in
tends to make the experiment.

EARLY CLOSING
MOVEMENT
Clerks Ask That Stores Close at 6 P. NJ.
After May Is.

The local clerks having failed of
their object to effect early closing the
year round are now devoting their en-
ergies to accomplish early closing for
the summer months, which they desire
to begin OH May 10. y paper to this
effect has been drawn up and is now
being circulated among the merchants
for signatures.
The clerks as usual encounter not a
few disCOuragements. There are prob
ably but few merchants that do not re-
alize that it would be to their gain
to clOse-with the exception of Saturday
night and OH pay days-at 6 clock p.
IN. daily, providing all the merchants
were won over to the scheme. A few
who are competitors, it seems, are not
certain of each others attitude with
respect to the movement and naturally
are slow about signing. No one wants
to take the initiative, fearing that all
other handling the same line may re

ers business would suffer. 1t is with
the object of getting these merchants
down to some agreement or concerted
action that the clerks are now circulat-

1t is not generally known that the
local clerks, while retaining their Or
ganization, have severed their connec-
tion with the Clerks International
Protective Association, under whose
auspices they organized. They sur
rendered their charter some time ago
and are now wholly an independent
organization, which is known simply
as the CLERK S Union.
The beneficial feature which belongs
to the Clerks Protective Association
does not enter into the local union. 1t
now has but one object, namely, early
closing, which as above stated at pres
ent has narrowed down to the summer
